EDITORS TO MEET.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 1.—All is in read
iness for the joint meeting Monday
morning of the 4<5th annual meeting
of the Arkansas Press Association,
and the 33rd annual meeting of the
National Editorial Association.

many years.
There will be a business session
Monday forenoon, a visit to Camp
Pike Monday afternoon, and an offi

The general committee has pub

OLD WEIGHTS AND MEAS
URES WILL SOON DIS
APPEAR IN GERMANY.
Associated Press Dispatch.
/ msterdam, May 20— German
housewives and tradespeople will
shortly cease to use the “dozen” as a
member of the family weights and
measures. It is the last surviving
opponent of the metric system, which
has now firmly established itself in
Germany. Its official successor will
be the “tenth.”
The abolition of the dozen, it is
pointed out, in a certain sense marks
the elimination of Enelish influence
in many lines of business, inasmuch as
this measure hailed from across the
channel. With the introduction of
purchase certificates, which limit the
number of articles which shoppers
are permitted to acquire under war
time restrictions, the habit of buying
in lots of a dozen has practically
ceased.
When normal conditions in all lines
of business have been restored the
public will have to acquaint itself
with the new unit. The gross, or
twelve dozen, measure will also dis
appear.
LONDON PREDICTS THAT
MORE POSTCARDS WILL
HE USED IN ENGLAND.
Associated Press Dispatch.
London, April 2.3—Until the new
budget put a wartax on mail, this
country had been sending letters for
a penny—two American cents—-for
seventy-eight years. Not until 1&70
was the postcard introduced. It has
reciuired a half-penny stamp, now
raised to a penny, for inland delivery.
Papers here express the belief that
the increased postal charges will
cause more postcards to be used. In
announcing the increase of half a
penny for letter postage, the chan
cellor of the exchequer pointed out
that the new rate had been fixed by
all the big countries of the world.
