The stature Of the American is in

to other leading peoples Of the world.
The everyday Yankee is too big for
the arinor worn BY the mail clad hero
of medieval history fact which has
been proved by the simple process Of
trying on the protective garments of
old, time knights. The fcats Of the
most famous athletes Of antiquity arc

matter OF common observation how
american women are increasing in
size, so rs to vic with the men in
stature. There is every reason, |
think, to suppose that this physical
development will continue through
centuries to come, and the typical

THUS among whites the forearm is
better developed anatomically than
among negroes and Indians, and our
own hands arc superior structurally to
those of our grandparents. owing to
the circumstance that they are cxcr-

Our feet are getting smaller, owing
to the habit Of wearing shoes, which
tends to reduce the foot to . single

the normal foot is fivciold apparatus,
