If Lanes Available
. Atlantic City, N.J. (Science

a popular American form of
exercise if our road builders
"would provide parallel paths
on all highways, an official

Cycling is far more popular

it to be a "popular act." "How

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

There should be emphasis,
during youth, on a personal

participation in team sports,

More Accurate Drunk-Driving
Tests Possible, Chemist Says
Los Angeles (Science Serv
ice) Faster and more accu
rate drunk-driving 'tests are
possible through the use of an
instrument? already widely
used in the chemical,, petro
leum and food industries, a
chemist maintains.
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."

Briefcase Key to Getting
Ahead in West Germany
By KARL H. 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.
Sometimes, briefcases con-
Grand Jury Indicts
Larry Motherwell
Downieville, Calif. (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.

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

tain surprises. A Frankfurt
businessman raised eyebrows
recently by stopping in the
middle of a sudden shower, to
take a folding umbrella from
his briefcase
So many briefcases are now
appearing on city streets that

Uniform Traffic Codes
Gaining in Acceptance

can drive through almost any
state in the nation reasonably
certain that the basic traffic
laws are pretty much the
same as the ones you learned
back home.
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. .
