TALL MARRY TALL,
WIDE WE'D wide, IS
SCIENCE TESTIMONY

Do tall men marry short women or
vice versa?
Local officials Saturday agreed with
Dr. G.. B. Davenport, director of the
department of experimental evolution
of the Carnegie institute, at Washing
ton, in denying the tradition.
The marriage of fat person to a
slim person, or viceversa, also occurs
but seldom in Wayne county" said a
marriage license clerk, the official. 1t
seems as if both the man and woman
try to pick life partner more their
size. OF course, when they reach the
age of so, or better, one or the other
as rule, will either take on flesh or
throw it off, but at the age of 81, when
most marriages occur, the couples, as
a whole, are very evenly Matched
DR.. Davenport, in his reports of
"Genetics," concerning an extensive
study of the inheritance of human
stature, says:
AN interesting by-product of this
study is that persons of similar
| stature tend to marry each other, and
| the more extreme their stature, the
more particular are persons in this
respect.
Among 500 matings, that Of very
| snort man 10 d very Ldll woman &C.
Cured only once, while the marriage
of a very tall man to a very short
woman did not occur at all.
| 1t is indicated by the research that
while short parents tend on the av-
erage to have short children, they may,
and frequently do, transmit character
istics which lack the shortening ele-
ment and have tall children. On the
other hand, children of tall parents
are always tall
The offspring of two very short or
short parents are more variable in
stature than two very tall or tall par
ents. Also, whereas the offspring of
two very short or short parents tend,
on the average, to be less short than
the parents, the offspring of very tall
or tall parents do not tend to be less
| tall.
Not only is stature as a whole in
herited, but also, and even more
clearly each segment of stature. such
rs neck, length. of Torso, thigh and
foreleg. And the inheritance Of the
length of these segments follow the
/ same law as does the length of
stature as whole.
