The world has adopted q
new international standard OF
lengths wavelength Of light
to replace the metal bar kept
in Paris for more than 70 years.
The announcement came
from DR.. Allen v. Astin. direc-
tor Of the National Bureau Of
Standards. who headed the
American delegation to the
18th General Conference on
Weights and Measures in Paris
last week.
The man on the street won't
know the difference, but the
distance from q given point in
New York to a given point here
will be altered by nearly 3
inches.
The meter will be slightly
shortened but less than
$4,000 part Of the thickness Of
one thin dime.
Meter Defined
Action by the conference de-
fines the meter as 1,650,163.73
wavelengths Of the orange-red
line Of krypton SO. This re-
places the platinum iridium
metal bar which has been kept
in Paris as an international
standard for length since 1889
under the Treaty Of the Meter.
1t is a step of great impor-
lance to those engaged in pre-
ciSion measurement In science
and industry. For years scien-
lists have depended on the dis
lance between two engraved
lines on the international Me-
ter Bar.
Duplicates were kept in the
standards laboratories of other
countries but from time to
time these had to be returned
to Paris for recalibration. And,
some scientists doubted the

"Organize Thyself"

Borrowing leaf from univer-
sity Libraries, children are now
being taught at tender ages to
organize their notebooks for
study and homework.
College faculty belief that
"material organization is an aid
to orderly study and thinking is
being reflected in the attitudes OF
teachers i'm secondary schools.
BOYS and girls in elementary
grades are being given the idea
that "organized" arrangement OF
books and notebooks promotes
orderly study, and that orderly
study and homework are easier.
Care is stressed, too-for young
sters are prone to give all mate
rails - including notebooks -
some rough treatment.
To meet this trend the indexing
industry has been alert in devils
ing some aids. Latest is a set OF

The 84-year-old West Ger

been solved.
David Waitman. 10, of Dear
born, had reported to police he
struck somebody on the Edsel
Ford ExpresSway early last Sat-
urday. He said he panicked
and drove home.
Police were baff1ed. All they
could find at the scene was a
blood stain. All this week
they've been checking hospitals
for a victim.
The solution came yesterday
at a conference in the prose-
cutor's Office.
Byrd Enoch, 81. of Allen
Park, was picked up in a road
side ditch - Z miles from
the expressway. Police said he
had been drinking and had
minor head cuts.
Mr.. Enoch told the prosecu-
tor he remembered being struck

ing a round of taverns. He said
he crawled of the pavement
and fell asleep under a tree.
He woke up Sunday with a
bad headache and went home.
He said he had been on an
other tour of taverns when he
was found in the ditch Thurs
day night.
Chief Assistant Wayne Coun-

fault because the pedestrian

he should not have been. But
