YEAR 1922 WAS ONE OF GREAT PROGRESS — - More Activity Than Any Previous Period in U. 8. History e — New York, Jan, The year 1922 has seen greater activity In industrial standardizations than any other year in the history of American industry, according to Alber W, Whitney who today lssued a review of the 1922 re- port of the American engineering standards committes, The committee is & federation composed of national technical socleties, six departments of She federal government, and the Principal trade assoclations in the sountry, Mr, Whitney is its chair- Man, and its labors are all in the di- Section of standardization, Notable Progress was made during the year in standardization of raw materials, of manufacturing processes, and of fin- fshed products by individual firms, by industrisl and technical assoclations, and by bodles that are working on natfonal and iInternational lines. One of the most far-reaching ac- complishments of the year, Mr. Whit- ney declares, was the organization, on a working baals, of the federal speci- fications board which develops and approves the specifications under which all government purchases are made, and the development of a plan of co-operation between this board and the American engineering stand- ards committee; the carrying out of this plan should go far, toward elim- inating the difference betwoen specifi- cations for government purchases and specifications for ordinary commercial supplies and should thereby result in the saving of millions of dollars both for the government and for industry. The organization of Secretary Hoov- er's division ‘of simpiified practice and its entrance into the industrial fleld has had a highly stimulating effect on the industrial standardization movement and has helped in particu- lar to press home to the businéss man that standardization is one of the main approaches to efficiency and the elimination of waste. The division of simplified practice has already brought about standardization of pav- ing brick, of beds, mattresses and springs, and of metal lath. It now has under way the standardization of lumber and other products. The dis- tinction between the basis for this work and that of the American en- gineering standards committee lies in the fact that the division of sim- plified practice devotes itself partic- ularly ‘to that part of the fleld in which decisions must be made on a non-technical basis. Great advances have been made by industry itself on the more technical side. More than 120 standardization undertakings now have an official status before the American engineer- ing standards committee, 43 of them having been initiated within the last year; this is an increase of more than 50 per cent. Of the 28 industrial standards developed and approved by the American engineering standards committec since' its organization in 1918, 13 were.approved within®: the past year. The efforts to develop na- tional safety codes, which have been under way for a number of years, be- gan for the first time to bear frult. The following six safety codes, point- ing the way to the elimination of the most serioud classes of industrial acci- dents, were approved during the year: Safety code for the use, care and protection of abrasive wheels; Safety code for the protection of in- dustrial workers in foundries; . Safety code for power presses, foot and hand presses; National electrical ‘safety codes; Safety code for the protection of heads and eyes of industrial workers; Specifications for the testing and use of permissible explosives. Another outstanding accomplish- ment in the industrial standardization work of this year was the develop- ment of the “standardization-by-con- ference” idea, in which all of the " interests involved in the subject, in- cluding producers, consumers, and representatives of the public and gov- ernment, participate in deciding: first, whether a standardization project is to be undertaken, and, second, what its scope shall be and its relation to other standardization work. The year 1922 saw also the devel- opment of an increased interest in in- dustrial stahdardization and an in- creased appreciation of its eftect on production efiiclency, distribution of costs, and consumer demand, on the part of such important commercial hodies as the International Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Com- meérce of the United States, and the New York State Chamber of Com- merce. It is highly desirable, ac- cording to Mr. Whitney, that such co-operation should be maintained if American industry is to be given the commerclal advantages which will correspond to those that are being de- veloped through standardization in Germany and England and other for- eign countries. The last year saw important de- velopments in international standardi- zation. There are now national stan- dardization bodies in 15 foreign coun- tries and a report recently received by the American engincering stan- dards committee indicates that plans are under way for the development of such work in each of the Bouth American republics. One of the most encouraging de- velopments of the year has been the growth of Interest in standardization and simplification among the many trade assoflations of America. These associations, representing large groups of producers and consumers, have ex- tremely favorable opportunities both for developing industrial standards and for putting them into effect. It is universally recognized that standardization is a legitimate and constructive activity of trade assocla- tions. he clarification of the legal as. pects of the question by the publica- tion In the early part of the year of the correspondence bhetweéen the at- torney-general and Secretary Hoover has done much to foster and extend standardization activity among trade associations. * Amethysts of a very fine quality come from India, Ceylon and Brazil.

The corner is a sharp one and in the past there have been bad accl- dents to automoblles. Surveyors are at work on lines to make the turn casier and these lines run close to the art gallery, which cost $25,000 in 1921 and which was placed there be- cause of the excellent sctting. Friends of the art association claim that al- ternation of the grounds would spoil the site and affect the value of the gallery.
