The Deliberate American

Some Of which statements are 60
revolutionary that they will, for the
moment, be disbelieyed. That cannot
be helped; but one can only hope that
neither English nor Americans will
take remarks so personal in a bad part.
Our increasing lankiness is presumably
the result, partly, OF our craze for ex-
ereise and, partly, OF our diet. Other
peoples do not admire il, but the Con-
tnental nations think We are merely
silly not TO eat foods that will make
US fatter. In America tie comparative
lbstention from exercise page the pro-
moters Of Daily Dozen".) and the diet
have much 10 do with the converse
change which has gone on there. The
consumption Of fat-producing foods per
head Of the population must be vastly
greater in the United States than il is
with US. More important still, doubt
less, has been the immense influx OF
foreigners, especially from Germany
and Central Europe. In the realm OF
business and for the deliberate and
methodical speech, one wonders wheth-
er the passion for organization in
American business life-system replsc-
ing individual activity. But
here we are on uncertain and danger
Gus ground, full Of many pitfalls.
Another curious result Of the mix
ing OF races which is going on in
America is the extraordinary number

The absurdity Of most popular
generalizations about peoples, however
is an old subject. But could anything
be more absurd than that John Bull
and Uncle Sam should be the types re-
spectively Of the Brihsh-Ameriean peo-
Piles to-day? We ought 10 change
rodnd. Fat. beefy men grow yearly
more rare IN England. Modern eariea-
ture Of US in other countries almost
invariably represents the Briton IS
long-shanked and lean, with crane neck
and protruding teeth. And the figure
Is not unjustihed. As every one knows
who has attended Olympic games meet
ings or who saw the various armies In
the war, we are to-day the leanest Of
the white peoples.

lishman-on the stage and in felton,

crafty Of Americans speak much more

Fat Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam, on the other hand, Is
getting fat. There is an immensely
larger proportion Of really fat men in
the population Of the United States
than in that Of England. Compared to
British troops, the Americans were
eonspeuously chunky, fat-chopped and
broad in the beam. And that is COM
ing 10 be the prevailing type Of
American figure.
IL is a matter Of comparatively re-
cent development There are still
plenty Of men Of the Uncle Sam-Abra-
ham Lincoln type on New England
farms. through the West, in the South
Especially among the mountaineers)
and on the Pacific Coast. But the con-
ditions Of modern American city life,
with its luxury, It's sedentariness, and
its fat-producing foods, evidently breed
quite another type Of man than that
which was developed in the days Of the
frontier and the wilderness. No one
making all allowance for the long. lean
men whom he might meet in one or
another part Of the country would
dream Of making Uncle Sam the type
Of the present-day American.
And with this change Of physique
have come other changes. The tradi-

On the Farm.

Once the farmer swathed his wheat
with the cradle and raked and bound
It by hand. Then the horse-drawn
reaper appeared, then the Mccormick
binder, and finally the great mechan.
zeal tractors Of the present, each OF
which haul two binders. Once, also,
the antiquated fail ''resounded from
morning to night" on the best Of the
farms. Then horses were used to
tread on the straw, and then came the
treadmill thresher, the last of which
went out some fifteen years ago. To
day tractor threshers do the work.
