THE AVERAGE MAN"

Smith may be better looking, Brown
more athletic, Robinson healthier, and
Nanastorfeller richer, but l have to
say this for myself, | stand higher
than the average man"
Well, let's look into the matter. If

The averaged" man would be an

dash of the blonde races of the north

Greek and other races which, While
Caucasian are dark, would mingle
with the Hindu, and other Asiatics,
and the blue-eyed blonde haired
characteristics would be stamped out.

dark as a Jap. He would have eyes
not quite as almond shaped as the
Jap's, but distinctly of that type, on
