On Thursday the delegates will view the primary standards of length and mass, whi are kept closely xuarded in a vault at the bureau. Tnstruments of measurement so deli- cate that no human hands ever ap- proach them and no human breath touches them, because the heat of the body or the blast from the lungs would derange them, and which are adjustel by mechanical means and observed through telescopes, consti- tute these primary standards for the | United States. In turn, these are de- pendent upon international standards maintained in a vault far under- ground in Paris. From them radiate the standards used by States, coun- ties and cities. It is the constitu- tional duty of Congress to preserve uniformity of weights and measures emong the individual States, but with a few exceptions Congress has left enforcement to the States. Decides Best Practice. The conference decides the best practice and the model regulations on various perplexing problems. For instance: How should ice cream be sold—by the guart or the pound? A dealer, tainer of ice cream, may be able to il v 16 of the 20 quarts. Ice cream is 40 to 50 per cent air— otherwise it would not be palatable. de. the It would be merely frozen cream and | -and it shrinks as the air capes. But if it is to be retailed welght, rather than by volume, how is the perplexed housewife to know how much to buy, when a pound freshly frozen may be ample for four persons but a pound re-frozen may be enough for only three? An amazing amount of work is done at the Bureau of Standards. When the doctor tells you to_“hold this under your tongue, please,” it is rather important that the clinical he uses be accurate. re it was tested at ihe bureau—38,177 were tested there last yvear.
