derstood and followed by ev-

may be fed and cared for, If they do
not have the inherited capacity to
transform their feed economically into
milk or beef or power they will al
ways be scrubs" On the other hand,
poor feeding and care may make q
scrub out Of an animal which has the
inherited ability to develop into some
thing much better. To attain the best
results breeding, feeding and intelli-
gent care must go hand in hand.
Pure bred stock not only have the
ability to make much more profitable
use Of the food given them, but they
also add greatly to the appearance of
the place. A pasture dotted with well
bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep
marks the owner as progressive
farmer. There is great deal more
pleasure, too. in caring for good stock
than there is in vainly trying to get
improbable animals into market con-
dition.

The most thorough tests made in the
United States were published ten years
ago when statistics were taken from
many sources showing the gradual In
crease in height and weight Of Amer
lean men and women.
Then the average height was found
to be about 6S1a inches; chest meas
urement, 80 inches; with inflated chest,
40 inches; waist, % inches; hip, 80
inches; thigh. 211a inches; calf, 14h
inches, and weight, 100 pounds.
Then 1t was said that a glance over
10000 college men showed an average
increase IN weight for forty years of
three pounds and an average increase
in height of an inch, with the fresh
men classes showing two inches better
average than their fathers had shown.
The average was likewise shown to
have gained an inch in height and FIVE
pounds in weight.
The records have not been kept with
any uniformity either as to ages and
numbers tested or as to form of re-
cording the measurements, but the
genera! indication is that the human
family, as typifed by the American
college boy, is growing and developing
in weight. in height and in the general
points that go to make up the units of

FEDERAL SUPERVISION OF INSURANCE

in an article entitled Insurance Su-
pervision and National Ideals" in The
North American Review, Darwin P.
Kingsley, president of the New York
Life Insurance Company, presents a
strong argument for the supervision
of insurance by the federal govern
nent. Mr.. Kingsley outlines the con-
stitutional history of the country in an
attempt to show that, from time to
time, certain prerogatives have been
transferred from the state to the ma
Interpretation of the constitution in
response to national deeds, and thru
interference which was necessary in
order to carry out the general powers
of the government. Mr.. Kingsley
points to the hardships which the bus
mess of insurance is compelled to suf-
fer in consequence Of the fact that it
must obey the behests of forty-six
different legislatures, and he pleads
that the business must suffer grevious
harm unless its superintendent is
transferred from these multitudinous
rulers to the central government of
the country. The supreme court has
decided that the nature of the insur-
ance business is such as to preclude
such transference, but Mr.. Kingsley
believes. for reasons which he ex-
plains, that the court will change its
decision should it have occasion to
reconsider the question. He says:
We have moved on into what is
almost a new world. We are facing
new problems. We are facing the fur
Their development Of national ideals.
We cling as tenaciously as our fore
fathers did to what we call the right
Of local self government. What we are
now and then asked to give up seems
to us much more vital than what they
We're asked to surrender in the general
interest. We have the most extended
system of railroad transportation in
the world. The use of the telegraph
and the telephone has extended thru
-
of business are organized on contin-
entail lines. The question, them is:
When we insist on what we call local
self government as against the obvi-
Gus significance of such facts as these,
are We not as shortsighted as our fore
fathers would have been if they had
carried their opposition to the consti-
tuition further than they did? The fact
is, we are still entirely devoted to To-
cal self-government. But what is local
elf-government? When a business
naturally extends over all the states
of the United States, is it local self
government to attempt TO regulate it
in forty-six different places by forty
six separate sovereign authorities?
Under these conditions, is not the local
idea plainly encroaching on the ma
tional preroga tive?"
