MUSCLES ARE BUILT UP
BY SERVICE IN THE NAVY
Experiments Show Bigger Biceps,
Enlarged Chest and Gains
in Weight.

How service in the Navy has in
creased the chest expansion, taken in
the waist line and enlarged the BIZ
ceps of thousands of American boys,
is told in bulletin issued today by
the local Navy recruiting station. 306
9Th street northwest.
Figures compiled by Lieut.. r. l..
Ridger, Medical Corps. after an ex-
animation of 500 men, show that an
average increase in chest measure
ment Of one and three-fourths inches
resulted, with a reduction of three
fourths of an inch in the waist line
and seven-eighths of an inch addi-
tional chest expansion. The biceps
are of the average sailor. three
fourths of an inch larger than when
he went into the service.
Out of 500 men it was found on the
average the individual had gained five
and three-tenths pounds in weight
since entering the Navy. Fat men
were reduced and youngsters became
husky youths. The greatest indi-
yidual increase brought to the atten-
ton of local recruiting officials was
the case of a landsman machinist
mate in aviation work, who enlisted
when seventeen years old and left the
Navy after a years service with an
added avoirdupois of fifty-three
pounds.

TOTALS z MONTHS PAY
Tax on Dollar-a-Year Salaries Is
Added to Amount on Income
From Other Sources.

Nearly 1000 government employees are
taxed approximately two months pay.
The tax amounts, however, to but L.
cents.
The government accepted the services
of nearly 1000 men during the war and
paid them the nominal compensation of
81 a year. Yesterday the dollar be-
came a tax issue through ruling by
the internal revenue bureau that not
only must the dollar be reported, but
that it is taxable. il the total income
from all sources is in excess of the usual
exemptions. Most dOllar-a-year men
Rad private sources of income above
Sc. 900. and in these cases normal tax on
the dollar will be II cents, or nearly two
months pay at the government rate.
