(Science Service) Bicycling would be a popular American form of exercise if our road builders "would provide parallel paths on all highways, an official of the American Medical as sociation said here recently. Cycling is far more popular in Europe than in America, ;Dr. W. W.

Blair Jr. and the apprehensive group that the singer would be unable to appear. Miss Callas arrived Tuesday after a flight from Milan. .David Stickelber, who ne gotiated with her for tonight's scheduled concert, said Miss Callas was exhausted and suf fering from an ear ache and .throat trouble.

Chicago recently closed four miles of - Lake Shore Drive for Pan American cycle race qualifying heats, and again for the races themselves. Many lesser streets are -being closed for play purposes. Many persons now believe that if main business streets can be closed for parades on busy week ends, they can be closed also for cycling and games at appropriate times, he pointed out. Americans are . currently going all out for physical fit ness, Dr. Bauer said. He then commented that he considered it to be a "popular act." "How long this interest will be su stained anybody's guess,! he added, pointing out that the American public is famous for quick enthusiasms and equally sudden boredom. Activity Involved Recreation itself may or may not involve activity.. There is nothing wrong with the quiet-er- pastime such as reading. card games, collecting, photo graphy, appreciation of music or other forms df art, he ex plained. But there must be another facet to fitness ac tivity. ' Dr. Bauer then pointed out that emotional unrest. turns up in , the body as somatic diseases ulcers, colitis, hy pertension (with emphasis on the tension), arteriosclerosis, neart attacks, strokes and al lergies, to mention just a few. There should be emphasis, during youth, on a personal sport r activity which can be carried on when the de mands of adult life render participation in team sports, or in activities requiring much time, space or equipment, im practical. Then such exercise as walking, cycling, garden ing, swimming, rowing, golf, mountain climbing, or nature study involving field excur sions should' get Americans "out of the stands and onto the playing fields," he said.

The instrument is the va por fractometer, based on an analytical technique known as gas chromatography. Dr. Mel vin Haley, visiting professor of biochemistry at the Univer sity of Southern California here and consulting toxicolo gist to San Bernardino and Riverside counties, suggests using the device as a more positive test of intoxication than that currently in use. "Operated under laboratory conditions by trained person nel," Dr. Haley says, "me thods presently used give a fairly reliable indication of the quantity of alcohol in the blood. But, as the techniques are now applied, there are simply too many opportunities for serious inaccuracies to creep into the results for these methods to be accept able as legal evidence."

MACK United Press International Frankfurt, Germany (DPD If you want to get ahead m Germany, get a briefcase. . It doesn't really matter what you put in it a pack of sandwiches, the day's racing form, a spare pair of shoes, even a newspaper. But the carrying of a brown leather briefcase has become a true symbol of success in post-war West Germany. Almost ' everybody carries one. A streetcar ariver, jump ing from his vehicle after work, picks up his briefcase and strolls off. A policeman, going off duty, trades in his revolver and nightstick for a briefcase. School children yearn for the day when they are old enough to trade their shoulder-satchels for 'the more adult briefcase. Teenagers only feel they are "accepted" by their friends when they carry one. Girls as well as boys carry them. In many cases, German girls would rather carry a briefcase than a pocktbook. What Germans stuff into then- briefcases is a major mystery to foreigners.. Only about one in 10 actually uses the article 1 for the purpose for which it was intended carrying business papers. . Husbands take home the shopping" in them.' Bachelors take their dirty shirts to the laundry in them. Garage me chanics carry., spare parts in them. And thousands of office-workers arrive important ly at work . in the morning with a briefcase containing sandwiches, some fruit and a beer bottle full of cold tea. Social Symbol "The briefcase has become such a social symbol here that Germans won't part with theirs. Traveling on a train, the commuter clutches his briefcase tightly while ' he opens his newspaper. Lunch ing downtown he leans it carefully against the leg of the restaurant table.

(DPD A county grand jury deliberated only five minutes before it indicted Larry Lord Mother well, 43, for the murder of a wealthy, elderly widow from Washington, D.C. J " The indictment, handed down Tuesday, ruled that Motherwell must stand trial, probably in January, in the death of Mrs. Pearl I. Putney, 72. ' - " ' . Motherwell left Washington with Mrs. Putney in June, 1958, on an automobile tour of the south and west which she described in letters as "a last fling." -. On Aug. 16, a bleached skull and bones were found in the Sierra county mountains near the Calif ornia - Nevada state line. They, were identified as the remains of Mrs. Putney. By Jimmy Hatlo are then obtained on a record er chart. , Patrol officers would make the same simple field test they now use on a suspected driver and, if the results are positive, bring him to the po lice station where the sample would be taken. This would be delivered to the laboratory and a test run in about six minutes." Running through three samples, he says, would take less than a half hour. Present methods take more than an hour for one test. V The vapor fractometer is manufactured by Perkin-El-m e r Corporation, Norwalk, Conn. tain surprises.

This is a recent develop ment. Take stopping for school buses. Present law says traffic must stop in both directions when a school bus unloads its unpredictable cargo on a two or three-lane highway. When there are four or more lanes, traffic in back of the bus stops, but cars going in the opposite lanes do Hot. But until this year, Florida police reaped a bonanza from vacationers because of the bus law in their state. In Florida, you were supposed to stop in either direction no matter how wide the highway. It wasn't until 1959 that the Sunshine State fell ' in line with the rest of the country. Old Movement The movement to standard ize traffic laws is almost as old as the automobile itself. In the early 1920's, Herbert Hoover then Secretary of Commerce - set up a National Committee on Uniform Traf fic Laws and Ordinance. Ever since then, this group has been prodding state officials to adopt a uniform traffic code. It hasn't been easy, as wit ness the matter of automobile inspection. V : In 35 states, there's no in spection' set-up at all. The other 15 demand periodic checks. States are reluctant to adopt the inspection system because of the complicated legislative and bureaucratic processes involved. Ideal Traffic Code The committee puts out what it considers the ideal traffic code each year. It con tains more than 400 pro visions covering everything from streetcar regulations to accident reports. Many states especially m the Northeast are adopting large sections of the code One particular section, dealing with speed limits, is gaining the widest acceptance. wise crackers are claiming the best way to get a job is to buy a new one even if you don't put anything in it. .
