BOYS Of AMERICA
FASTEST IN GROWTH
Oldest Native Stock Shows
Up Best Among Worlds
Youngsters in Test.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The boy of old American stock y
the worlds fastest growing youngster.
Such IS the finding of DR.. Robert B.
Bean, physical anthropologist Of the
University of Virginia, in a report on
body measurements Just made to the
American Association Of Physical An
thropologists.
Such a boys growth from birth to
approximately the seventh year Is
nearly $50 per cent greater than that
Of the boy of Eastern European par
entage, so per cent greater than in
the German, and 4 per cent greater
than in the Negro. who Is his nearest
rival.
The growth is still more marked
from the seventh year to adulthood.
During this period it IS 200 per cent
greater in the ''old American" boy than
In the East European and 81 per cent
greater than in the Negro.
IL to Is Period Slow.
The most outstanding growth In
stature, DR.. Bean says, is in the old
American boys from birth to H. Be-
tween IL and Is it is equaled by the
German. From IS to adulthood it is
the least and in the German and
Chinese boys the most.
The growth OF the child Is like a
pulse, the beat of which varies for
boys and girls, DR.. Beans measure
mentS showed.
He found that there is an alterna-
tion of slow and rapid growth in total
stature. in length of legs, and in sit
ting height at different ages, but they
are not simultaneous with each other.
Thus, between the ages of and IL,
he found, the girls begin to get long
legs while the legs of the boys are
growing very slowly. Then the legs
OF the girls stop their rapid growth
and a quick spurt takes place in the
height Of the trunk which continues
from the eleventh to the fifteenth year.

ceeding at the same time-generally

IMPROVED Sewer
SYSTEM ADVOCATED
Senator King Pledges Aid to
Get Public Works Fund
for Project.

Early steps should be taken to provide
for wide scale Improvement of the
Districts sewer system. In q move to
eliminate pollution from the Potomac,
Chairman King Of the Senate District
Committee declared yesterday after an
extended conference with the District
Commissioners.
Senator King said the development
OF q modern sewage disposal plant Is
required by local conditions, and
pledged his influence to obtain funds
under the national recovery act to
start this and other sewer projects.
Senator King said he would propose
to Congress the creation Of q COM
mission consisting Of outstanding en-
cheering experts to make q compre-
hensive re-study Of the Districts sewer
system. He said this work must be
planned for the future, when the
District will have a population Of
Backs Masonry Bridge.
The Senator definitely threw his
influence behind the civic movement
to have the proposed new Calvert Street
Bridge over Rock Greek take the form
Of q multiple arch masony structure,
instead Of q single arch steel span as
planned by Engineer Commissioner
GotwalS.
This matter was debated at length
Wednesday at q public hearing before
the Commissioners, in which the Senate
Committee chairman intimated he
preferred the masonry type. He said
definitely yesterday the masonry bridge
would be more suitable to its location
close by the Taft Bridge, which is Of
masonry construction and multiple
arch type.
The Senator said he had been in
formed by one expert that the struc-
within the cost limit Of $l,250, 900 set
by Congress.

Discussing the need for q better sewer
system, Senator King pointed to the
