Ho neither looks nor acts like a fighter, but the publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times and Daily News is enthusiastically engaged in a scrap. What is more, he picked it.

But last week the sacred bar was in effect tossed on the scrap heap. A General Conference on Weights and Measures, meeting at Paris, made a wave length of light the new official standard of length. The meter is now denned as 1,650,763.73 wave lengths of the orange-red light given off by electrically excited krypton 86, a rare gas extracted from...
