ARE WOMEN GROWING TALLER?

From a Boston maternity hospital,
to which the boutiful stork pays some
three thousand visits a year, comes
the interesting statement that the av-
erage stature and vitality of the girl
babies are steadily increasing. The
boy arrivals, on the other hand, are
simply holding their own as regards
weight and measurement and vigor.
1t required no such poetic remind
er as Mr.. Kipling's, 'The Female of
the Species" to impress upon us the
fact that man plays but a second fid-
die in the affairs that really count. 1t
would now seem, however, that the
rulers of the earth are waxing still
mightier. If within single genera
ton they are becoming noticeably
taller and more puissant, what may
We not expect century or so hence?
The literal return of the Amazon is
drawing nigh.
There is, in truth, reason to suspect
that this change has been in progress
for many years and that today it is
Towering in the thick of life as well
as budding at the cradle. 1t is a
mere truism to point out that women
are performing a thousand tasks and
duties which in our grandsires' time
were left exclusively to men. Over
in Alabama there is woman sheriff
There are women policemen and may
ors out west There are women avi-
ators, carpenters, farmers, boiler max
ers and what not, all of which goes
to indicate that the Drawn of Adam is
being translated, like another rib, to
the purposes of Eve.
Aside from such speculations there
is little reason to doubt that the ath-
leticism and outdoor life now so popu-
lar among women may in time result
in certain notifications of their gen
eral physical type To say that this
would require a million or so years is
beside the point, as are all such re-
marks when an interesting theory is
being discussed. The Japs, they tell
us, have increased their stature since
the Russ war. Then, why not the wo-
men of this progressive land ?-Atlan-
ia Journal.
