Little CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature OF Amer
lean Men Was Affected by war
Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufactur-
ers assert that there has not been any
change i'm the size of their garments
since the war. They are manufactur-
ing more garments but the proportion
of larger sizes is no greater now than
II was three years ago. In short, theii
size patterns have not changed. Vel
changes would be necessary If the stat
ure of American men had been afect-
ed i'm any appreciable way by the year
and a half or two years of military
training.
Manufacturers of ready-to- wear
sbirts 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

All Fully Explained.
In this booklet government insur-
ance for men who were in the service
is fully explained-how premiums are
to be paid after discharge; how pres
ent insurance is converted into the six
different forms of permanent policies
now provided; how lapsed policies are
reinstated.
! The more difficult subject of COM
pensation is described. This is q gov
eminent allowance paid to ex-service
men and women for injury or disabil-
ity in line Of duty, and is entirely sep
arate and apart from any benefits Of
war risk insurance. The ex-soldier is
shown how to apply for compensa-
ton through the United States pub
lie health service or any American Le-
gion post. The difference between COM
pensation for temporary and perma-
nent disability is described at length,
and so-called partial permanent disa-
bility, as well.
| Considerable misunderstanding seems
yet to exist among disabled service
men on the subject Of compensation
when vocational training is undertake
en-. Compensation is not forfeited un'
der vocational training. In no case
can a mans money income from the
government be diminished, and in some
cases he may receive more. Its source

decreased.
