LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature Of Amer
lean Men Was Affected by War
Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufacture
srs assert that there has not been any
change In the size of their garments
since the war. They are manufactur-
Ing garments, but the proportion
Of larger sizes Is NO greater o than
It was three years ago. In short, their
size patterns have not changed. Yet
changes would be necessary If the stat.
ure Of American men had been affect
ed in any appreciable way by the year
and a half or two years Of military
training.
Manufacturers Of ready-to-wear
shirts and undergarments agree with
the clothing manufacturers that there
has been no change in their size pat
terms despite the reports of numerous
individuals who take "a size larger"
today than they did before the war
AS one manufacturer put 1t, the pro-
portion of soldiers who need larger
sizes in shirts or suits today than they
did two years ago is so small that 1t
has no effect on wholesalers. Sales
men naturally remember certain indi-
vidual cases OF Increased chest develop
ment, but, taking the country by and
large, there has been no appreciate
change in the physique Of the male
portion of the population, at least as
far as their clothing is concerned.

Tho Small Town.

William Policy, in Peoples Magazine.
Is there q better chance for success
and thorough enjoyment of life In an
average American stall town, meaning
the town of from 5000 to 5000 people.
h there Is In the great overcrowded
cosmopolitan centers7 I believe there
is. absolutely. ! base my contention on
the fact that I am a city man, born and
bred. I was Is years old, married, and
had two children before I deliberately
turned my back on the ~"maddening
throngs Of tho bricls-and-asphalt AN
ons" and moved to a smaller town. And
never for a moment rave l regretted the
change. Neither was 1t because I had
made a failure In a big city thai I did
SO, for I had not.
And visiting now and then some OF my
cronies of the old days and observing
how they live and how they have Jared,
I contend that the joke Is on them. I
am enjoying life In a way which they
will never know and cannot understand.
Underneath their raf1ley I detect a note
Of usefulness and envy. 7 have somo-
thing they rave not. I have the order
ing of my WI life, the opportunity to
enjoy he world as 1 go through It. They
think they have these things. I know
they have not. Else they would not talk
to me as they do when I visit them or
they visit me In return And they are
not broken down failures, either. BY
worldly standards many Of them are
successful. But they are chained to their
successes as to a wheel. They are living
the Life Of gold fish In a globe. And
they cannot escape. They do not possess
themselves; The city AID -I:. :. stand;
for possesses them. And they have paid
dearer for their success than I have for
mine-for which they received no com
mensurate return.

Lodge, Wilson and Treaty.

From Milwaukee Harold (German9.
II the clumsy work of Versailles Is re-
tected so far as America is concerned,
sertain senators ought not to take too
much merit to themselves. Politics were
their main point OF view. That the
treaty Of Versailles does not mean any
thing else but a diabolical scheme for
bringing about new wars was a matter
Of Indifference to them II they did not
even find 1t advantageous. All that they
were out for was to pick a hole In tho
coat Of Mr.. Wilson because they did not
founded h League Of Nations and be-
cause he did not take them-certain
eenators-earlier into his counsels. Thus
wen Senator Lodge never uttered one
syllable of criticism Of the terms of
peace. It Is indeed great luck for Ger
many that Senator Lodge did not play
a role in the Paris negotiations as a
representative Of h United States, be-
sides President Wilson. Lodge would
surely have fulfilled all the desires of
the French and would not only have
conceded the left bank Of the Rhine but
possibly the right one as well. That
the retention Of the territory to the left
OF the Rhine was assured to Germany
from the beginning Is due to the fact
that Wilson did not want to abandon
his principles before the world COM
pletely and thai he resisted In Paris the
demands of the French ~mflitaristic party
with Marshal Foch at the head, and
frustrated an annexation Of the right
bank even IL he could not prevent the
temporary occupation Of the left bank.

Bryan's Answer.

W. ]. Bryan, in The Commoner.
During the last few weeks ! ave re-
ceived an increasing number of let
tiers asking me 6 become for the fourth
time a candidate for the presidency.
Az 1t is impossible to make personal
answer to these letters, 1 give this one
reply to all. I recognize 1t to be the
duty Of the citizen to respond to the
calls Of his country in peace or war.
Therefore, If the situation became such
that my nomination was actually de-
manded, as in time OF war a soldiers
life Is demanded on the battlefield, I
would feel it my duty to consider it,
but I hope no such situation will arise,
and I do not now see any probability
that such a situation will arise. For
80 years / have aiken S o active a part
in public life that the demands upon
my time have. to a large extent denied
me the pleasures of the fireAde and the
companionship Of my family. / have

been-not with office, which is the least
Of rewards-but with the satisfaction of
seeing nearly every reform l have ad-
vocated written into the unrepealable
law Of the land, and now I see my peace
plan made the chief cornerstone Of the
League of Nations. This is reward
enough for any man. WHO could desire
more? I desire quiet and rest. INC look

Gold Mines Ask Subsidy.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The mint price OF gold is $2o.s7 a fine
ounce. It has no other price In this
country, and this price is a mere figure
of speech created by law. It's value In
relation to other commodities is en-
tirely another thing. Hence h present
demand Of the gold miners for a bonus
or subsidy from government to stimu-
late their production, which Is decDa-
ing-declining because an Inc Of gold
viii now buy only about half the labor
or food or mining material it would buy
before the great wax.
Their proposition Ia what might be
called 'nervy.'. It is to impose a tax
Of S10,an ounce on all gold sold for US
in manufactures n the arts. Inc pro-
ceeds Of this tax of so per e on tho
mint price would go to the miners az q
bonus to stimulate production. This
would operate to Increase tho inflow
and reduce the outgo of the monetary
gold supply.
It Is all written down In a bill intro
duced in tho House at Washington by
Mr.. McFadden. Of Pennsylvania, and is
said to have the Endorsement OF the

warned that the most deplorable fea-

Professor Glicksman then referred
to the word mob" MS slang Of 200

the Spectator by Addison.
ut is an abbreviation of the word
mobile Even so the word pep is

Mystery Of Influenza eaciIli.

There is more or less mystery about
the pacifii Of influenza, but there is a
probable explanation in the theory
that the bacilli is sometimes in the
form Of a fungus. The pe1plexity Of
the scientists has probably arisen be-
cause hitherto this has been studied
only as a bacillus. While there seems
o great probability that this bacillus
Is responsible for Influenza, no one has
yet been able to ascertain how it
works, for it has not been possible to
utter out any virus. Perhaps the ba-
cilius in its bacillus form does not give
out a virus, but in its fungus form 1t
may.

Diamond Imports Climbing.
From the Topeka Journal.

AS a means of throwing further light
on the high cost ef living it may be cited
that our importations of diamonds from
Paris increased from $3.50 in 1918. to
81, LAS, 900 in 1919. We doubled our i'm
portations Of feathers; and our importa-
ions of all kinds of hides and skins
increased from a little more thar 81, OOo.-
900 in 1918, to $16,0 900 900 in 1919. OF imita-
ton stones there was also a notable in
crease, the importations of 1918 being
$685., 900 as compared with $780, 900 in
1918. Genuine precious stones increased
more rapidly than imitation, for in 1918
the im~portations were s143, 900 While in
1919 the purchases from Paris alone had
jumped to 5000. 900.

Recently at dinner given in New

the invitation and were present. They
were discussing the recent strikes, and
when it came to breaking contracts,
which they claim the printers and the
Ilongshormen broke, Robert Ely, secre.
tary of the club proposed three cheers
for the labor union leaders who be.
lieve that contract is a contract and
that there is only one thing to do
with it, to live up to it. The wildly
enthusiastic applause Of the twenty.
two hundred diners was a glowing
tribute to the splendid work of these
two men, which eliminated in a
victory over the bolshevist foreigners
and /. w. W. The next on the pro.
gram was Berry, president Of the
printers union. He said, ,,At least
seventy per cent, of the appeals com.
ing to the Int. Union today, are from
members who have been fined for
breaking machinery in the recent
strike. This union had 9 strikes since
the war, those 2 strikes were illegal,
and in both instances we joined with
the employers in breaking them, We
made every bolshevik go back to work,
