used to buy one pound of butter,

meat, and a kilogram Mg

ing's shopping is relieved now of

was introduced at the lieginning
1959,of is ;being followed With
little confusion even in rural
areas,
officials say that this is large-
ly due to the educational effect
oe radio and television.
In Tokyo, 84 per cent pf the
Stores are using the decimal sys-
tem.
idofore it was introduced, con-
fusion was frequent as a result
of the combined use of at least
three different systems of meas-
uring weights, areas, and dia-
'tame.
Older people still find things
difficult. An elderly woman ask-
ing how to get a house is con-
fused when told that it is 100
meters (109 yards) along the
road, She expects.an answer in
ken (One ken is 1.81818 meters).
On a hot •day, if a mother says
to her daughter, "It is 90 degrees
today," the daughter is not cot.=
vinced until she has worked out
the conversion - 32.2 degrees-
Celsius.
Wind speeds, once given in
miles an hour, now are reported
in meters a second and rainfall
is in millimeters instead of
inches.
Some stores still are using
measures which indicate both
gram and momme or liter and
go (one go is 0.1323 ounces or
0,18 liters).
Officials say all measures will
be replaced by ones with mark-
ings only in liters or grams in
the next three yeaii. :Grocers
have found a simple solution -
they sell, eggs and dried fish by
number, not by weight as before.
An old. Kimono. maker spent a
night converting all the measure-
ments of shaku (one shaku is
about one loot) to' meters or
centimeters, But his arithmetic
was faulty, and the exquisitely•
made kirhono ended up with
sleeves two centimeters short,
according to a Reuters' dispatch.
from Tokyo.

stead of ken (one kan is 3.75_
kilograms' or 8.2672epourids).

;have adopted the metric. system.

London. Has Its
Traffic Jams Too
Pke most other great cities,
Lender), has a vexing traffie eit-
tiation-eand is teeing, to do
something about it. The onset of
the Christmas shopping rush has
aggravated the problem, But it
also has provided an incentive to
make a start on improvements-
Britain's energetic new Minis-
ter of Transport, Ernest Marples,
has instituted a "pink zone" plan
for the vast downtown area
bordered by Park Lane, Maryle-
bone Road, the Strand, and
Kingsway. In essence, his solu-
tion is to enforce existing reg-
ulations and restrict parking on
the badly clogged thoroughfares
in the heart of this capital,
Britons themselves are of two
minds about whet., should be
done to allow cars to move more
freely. One group preises the
Marples efforts to clear the
streets of private and commer-
cial vehicles that block the flow
by parking for long intervals.
They likewise applauded when
the police won a test case against
a car-owner who jacked up his
inactive, unlicensed, uninsured
auto and left it on the street
outside his house. This establish-
ed-belatedly, it seemed to some
-that motorists 'cannot expect
to use the streets as a perma-
nent garage. Some portions of
London are littered with these
"laid-up" cars, which now pres-
umably will have to move else-
where.
But others argue, vigorously
that cracking down on drivers
andeparking is the wrong • ap-
proach to a solution. They say
It is designed to keep motorists
from the very business objec-
tives that thrive on *their pres-
ence. They add that they pay
extremely heavy taxes on their
cars and gasoline, and that the
government's obligation is to ap-
ply these funds E to building new
roads, overpieses and under-
passes, to accommodate still
more cars.
To a foreigner, London's reg-
ulations unusually seem strange
---even ceitiotic. A lot of sixth
sinie is ineolVecl. There are vir-
tually no official "no parking"
signs. You are supposed to
know there is, no parking on bus
routes; yet cars do park safely
on streets where buses ply. Nor
is lack of buses any guarantee
parking, is permieted. There are
plenty of "no waiting" signs -
but with solid ranks of cars
parked with apparent impunity
right under them, day after day.
One difficulty in penalizing
parkers here is that it is not the
practice for a "Bobbie" to leave
a ticket on the windshield. He
may hang around, a reasonable
time until the driver .returns.
But if it turns into a long wait,
he can note the license number
and seek out the responsible per-
son later. This obviously is not
a system geared to mass issuance
of tickets. Yet the average Brit-
on's rejoinder is: Why should
ticketing be made easy?
The policeman, on the other
hand, 'has wide,, latitude to decide ,
where. and under 'what circum-
stances parking .constitutes at
violation. On streets with no
prohibiting signs whatever, he
can impose a ticket for "causing
an obstruction" almost at will-
and the 'courts usually will up-
hold his judgment. It matters
not that the vehicle may not ac-
tually be causing any .pereepti-
ble obstruction to traffic, writes
Henry S. Hayword in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

No. Ten Downing
Front Unchanged
No. 10, the British Prime*Min-
ister's London home and official
residence in Downing Street, is
" to be remodeled, but its much-
photographed facade will be
kept intact. The narrow front-
age, the squat black door with
the lion's head knocker, and the
swinging light on the wrought
iron arch ..are to remain.
Inside the patchwork repairs
and remodelling by a succession
of British Prime 'Ministers over
more than two centuries are to
be removed.
Only the historic rooms, in-
cluding the paneled Cabinet
room, will be kept intact.
The decision to remodel fol-
lows a recent survey by the
Crawford Committee which re-
ported the building was unsele.
The foundations are unstable,
walls need supporting, stair-
cases and flceerse strengthening
arid roofs renewing,' the Craw-
ford Committee said.
The report is not surprising,
There have been few periods in
the life of George Downing's
house since it was taken over in
1735 that Prime. Ministers have
not written of its shortcoinings.
In his memoirs, published in
1807, William Pitt wrote several
paragraphs describing the new
kitchen and offices. The founda-
tions of the .house were proving
unsound even then, the famous
Prime Minister recorded.
'The making over to No. 10 '
is part of a larger scheme to
.make more room for secretaries
and other officials of the Prime
Minister's staff and those of the
Treasury. Nos. 11 and 12• Down-
'ing Street, and the Treasury
Buildings in Whitehall, will be
reconditioned at the same time.
The Whole scheme is expected
to cost 'about four million dol-
lars. No. 11 is the official resi-
_ dence .v1 the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. No. 12 is. used by,
government whips as' offices.
No. 12, the building nearest
St. James's Park, is in effect the
rump of an old building whose
top stories were destroyed " by
fire in 1879. It only has a base- -
merit. and ground floor.• Now it

Any newcomer learns the spe-
cial rules of London's roads
quickly-by virtue of harrowing
experiences. Politeness there is,
but also grim insistence of rights
and the sometimes perplexing
rules of the game. Even Britons
are baffled as to who has the
right of way at a "roundabout"
or circle.
Into this melee, visiting Amer-
, lean traffic experts venture at
their own risk, Baltimore's
Traffic Commissioner Harry
Barnes, who was here recently,
claims. British traffic thinking is
"25 years behind the times." He
criticized such cherished British
institutions as the U-turn, which;
London taxis are specifically de-
signed to make, street parking,
and unsynchronized traffic lights.
But Don Iddon, the London
Daily Mail's correspondent in
the United States, scathingly re-
plied that. Mr. Barnes' Baltimore
scarcely is 'in a position to lec-
ture London. It is, he maintains,
only the new. Chesapeake Bay
tunnel, enabling one to bypass
the Maryland city, that has
helped matters there.
Meanwhile, the fact apparent-
ly is that Britons prefer to un-
ravel their own traffic snarls,
without accepting. much back.
seat advice from the other' side
of the Atlantic where, after all,
they still drive on the wrong
side of the road.• Yet the. public,
of necessity, is awakening to its
problem. People are asking why
skilled men and earth-moving
machinery are standing idle now
that the new London-Birming-
ham motorway is finished. And
why quicker starts are, not being
made on scores of other urgent
street' and' road' projects.
The proliferation of the auto-
mobile' has left them stalled , in
traffic long enough.' so that' even
