STEWART NBA Service Writer Washington, Dec. 21.—Keep per fectly quiet. Don’t even breathe. Out at the government's Bureau of Standards, on the edge of Washing ton, they’re measuring the diaisCeter of p gnat's hind leg. Write your name on a . sheet of paper. Keep quiet again, and they’ll weigh that signature at the Bureau of Standards and tell /ou how much heavier the sheet is than it was while it was still blank. . s lie quiet about it, so's not to shake up the works, and they can determine, at the Bureau of Standards' how much the heat of a man's body affects The temperature of a good-sized room, de pending on whether he’q. in or outside. • • * They cap do all these things, and more, too. equally, marvelous, at the Bureau of Standards, provided every body’ll keep quiet enough. The trouble is there’s very 'little of the time when everybody will. The least little thing Joggles the daylights out of the infinitely delicate machinery with which the bureau's .scientists dq their experimenting.' That's why the bureau’s group of buildings is on the edge of Washing ton. It was open country when it was bqilt—as quiet as anybody could ask. A fan! It's quiet no longer. Washington has spread” o,ut in that direction until it's a regular boiler factory. * * « A layman probably wouldn't call it a boiler factory, to be sure. The chances are he’d consider it a very . Hjuiet spojt. '' It isn’t actually in tfce city—only, as previously remarked ojj the edge But the way these scientists look at it there's a very bedlam of concus sions and shocks. , (Copyright, 1025, NEA Service, Inc.)
