At that conference, cngineers, sclen- tists, government officials, business symbol or abbreviation for several newspaper ed! and Industrial exe- cutives expressc: sentiment “em- phatically in favor” of the standard- izatlon of abbreviations and symbols. It was declured that the use of one ‘WASHINGTON, difteront terms and the use of several different svmbols or abbroviations for one meaning are, at present causing a great deal of confusion, misunder- standing and often serious errors, It was agreed that the co-operation of foreign standardizing bodies should be sought In e development of the work, owing to the Interna. tional character of much engineering and sclentific work and the import- ance of reference books and periodi- cals in foreign languages. The work will go forward under a committee organization developed in accordance with the rules and pro- cedure of the American engineering standards committee. e A Mosxican land owner recently sold a farm of 6,000,000 acres.
