Size of the Human Body

Authorities differ in fixing the num-
Der of square feet of the surface of
the human body, there being no fixed
limit owing to the variations in size,
but a man of feet inches weighing
around IT'S pounds has a skin surface
Of approximately 16 squire feet. The
larger men and women measure more,
some of them very much more, while
some of the more diminutive bodies
have a measurement as low as 10
square feet.

ATTEMPT TO PASS OVER VETO
House and Senate Leaders Claim
They Have the Necessary
Majority

Washington. - The soldier bonus
bill was vetoed by President Coolidge,
Thursday, May Is, on the ground that
Il was economically unsound and
morally unjust.
Returned unsigned to the house,
where the legislation originated, the
measure was Immediately taken up by
its friends In an effort to override the
executive action and only the counsel
Of leaders Of both parties obtained a
postponement Of a vote.
The president In his veto message, a
document Of more than 1900 words,
declared he could see no Justification
for enactment Of the bill into law, and
added:
we must either abandon our theory
Of patriotism or abandon this bill. We
owe no bonus to the able-bodied sol
dlers Of the World war.
Patriotism is one Of the highest
and fines Of human virtues" the pres
ident continued, .and It cannot be
bought or sold. To offer money for II

The executive declared that "Amer-
lea as a whole does not want the blu
There is no justification for It." he
said.
The tide Of enthusiasm for the bill
ran so high after the veto message had
been received that there were insIstent
demands for an Immediate vote. Re
publican Leader Longworth tried In
vain to get an agreement to delay the
roll call until next week.
In obiectlng to the proposal Of Mr..
Longworth, Representative Rankin,
declared the message Of
the president ian insult" to the veter-
ans OF the war.
Supporters OF the bill claim a ma
jority Of at least four over the neces-
sary two-thirds In the senate. Like
wise, American Legion officials who
have conducted careful poll say that
the bin can pass in the senate by a
margin, If there is nc
radical change In present sentiment.
