ANDREW CARNEGIE
WAS SUPPORTER
OF METRIC UNITS
SAN FRANCISCO.—The passing
of Andrew Carnegie brings to mind
the fact that he had been for years
an ardent advocate of world stan
dardization in weights and measures
, through the adoption of metric
units.
Andrew Carnegie was a member
of the Metric Committee of the Na
tional American Association of
Manufacturers, which strongly urged
metric standardization. At the time
the committee met, he made the fol
lowing statement:
“The metric system of weights
and measures is one of the step-*
forward that the Anglo-Saxon race
is bound to take sooner or later.
Our present weights and measures,
inherited from Britain, are unw-or
thy an intelligent nation today. The
advantage America possesses ever
Britain in the decimal dollar system
as compared with their pounds, shil
lings and pence, would be fully
equaled by the adoption of a metric
system of weights and measures.’’
Carnegie believed that world
standardization of weights and mea
sures would aid greatly not only the
cause of world trade, but also that
of world peace. On another occa
sion he said: “The old weights and
measures are a discredit to us. We
shall inevitably adopt meter-liter
gram. if for no other reasson than
as an aid to peace; but they would
enormously aid our world trade.”

The official time of the Alaskan
Engineering: commission, which was
advanced an hour in March in com
pliance with the provisions of the
federal war emergency daylight-sav
ing law, repealed by Congress sev
eral weeks ago, will be turned back
to the correct time at midnight,
October 26, according to a circular
issued over the signature of En
gineer-in-Charge Fred'k D. Browne
today. That is the date originally
fixed by Congress for turning th-j
clocks back, and will mark the end,
probably of time changes in so far
as the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion is concerned, except as it may
be deemed advantageous, in certain
lines of work, to use the early
morning light.
The circular covering the change
reads as follows: ,, -
To All Concerned:
Effective at midnight, October
26, 1919. all clocks and watches
will be turned back one hour.
This means that on Monday
morning, October 27, the new time
will take effect on all work per
taining to the Fairbanks division.
General offices, store, power plant,
etc., as well as train schedules, will
be governed by the new time. All
outlying camps, and those men em
ployed out of doors in the general
camp, will receive instructions re
garding their hours from their fore
men, the idea being to take ad
vantage of the greatest amount of
daylight possible during the shorter
days of the year.
The hours for the general offices,
etc., will be as before, between 8
a m. and 5 p. m.

As announced some time ago by
The News, the Government railroad
will carry the mail between Nenana
and Fairbanks this winter, which
means that the arrangement prob
ably will be made permanent. Two
mails already have been despatched
from Nenana via the railroad, and
two from Fairbanks, under special
arrangement with Fred’k D. Browne,
engineer in charge, but authoriza
tion for the inauguration of a reg
ular service was not received here
until this morning. Under the au
thorization there will be two mails
a week, both ways, until the ter
mination of the contract, which ex
pires on May 15.
1 Mr. Browne announces that ar
rangements have been made by him
to start the service immediately, the
|
Emails leaving both ends of the line
(On Tuesdays and Fridays. For the
: present, and until the railroad is
completed, packhorses or some other
j means of conveyance will be used
to carry the mails from end to end
of the steel, a distance of less than
five miles at present.
The first mail leaving Nenana un
der the regular schedule will be
despatched from the local office Fri
day morning, which means that the
mail sacks will be closed Thursday
afternoon.

OUR REASON
for paying higher prices than
fur buyers is that we do
not sell furs in the raw state, but
we manufacture every fur we
buy, and sell them only after
they are made up. We must have
nice specimens of all kinds of
furs and we will guarantee to
pay higher prices than anv other
fur buyer in town. Let us prove i
this to you—make a trial ship- ]

SHORTAGE OF FUEL
WORRIES AUSTRIA
*•**' — --**-*4
VIENNA.—Cool nights and chill
autumnal rains are beginning to
bring Vienna, and all Austria, face
to face with the fuel famine that
looms along with the food shortage.
Today this great city has a reserve
of only 9,000 tons. Not a hospital
has been able to arrange its winter
supply.
The government experts estimate
that with all available wood added
to the estimated coal supply the
Yiennesse householder this winter
may have about 75 percent of
enough fuel to keep one cooking
fire. No one talks of heating. Warm
houses and hot water are among
the other luxuries unknown.
Czechoslovakia has coal for export
and contracts have been made by
the Austrians for all they can get.
but the delivery is slow and the
whole matter seems clouded with
difficulties and duplications. It is
believed means will be found to
maintain the Inter-Allied express
