IT'S TRUE

The Average Man in the U. S. is 40
years old, is 5 #. IL in. in height,
weighs 142 pounds, and has life ex-
pectation of % years.
These exact figures are provided by
George E. Howard, of Butler, Pa
whose letter on the Average Man
rates a special honorable mention. If
there had been five prizes, he would
have received one. He wrote:
1.-THE description of the Average
man must necessarily be divided into
two zones. The first is the region Of
measurable factors about which there
can be little dispute. These factors
are mostly height, weight, age, de-
gree of length of life, education, ra-
cial composition, residence, occupa-
ton, political affiliation, religious af-
flaton, life insurance, ownership of
automobile, home, etc.
raphical area, the age of II and up
ward, and the year 1880 as our basis,
all of the above factors can be found
in the census figures or closely esti-
mated from them.
1.-The Average Mans education
would consist of public school below
high school grade. He is American
born of American parents and of
Anglo-Saxon stock. His residence
is within a space about 300 miles east
and 500 miles west on Indiana, so he
is essentially an inlander. He is a
workman, not an employer or fore
man.
POLITICALLY, he is a shifter. In
1928 he was Republican, in 1882 Demo
cratic. He is not a regular voter, as
over half of eligible voters refrain
from voting even in the most excit-
ing elections. He is not a. church
member, as less than half belong to
any denomination. He is, however
religious. The total average insur-
ance per person in the U. S. is 1915.
HE is not home owner but a
tenant. Also he lives in a town of
$500 or more, and is urban rather
than rural. He owns an automobile
He is the head of a family of four per
sons and lives in single house.
"The second zone consists of in
tangibles and are matters of mind
temperament, desires, ambitions and
other factors that are too complex to
be reduced to figures or even descrip-
ton. Truly one does not know ones
self, and therefore can have less
knowledge of this average man, SO
this phase of the description must
be left to the mind-readers
1t was the second zone from which
the writer wanted to draw informa-
ton when he offered the prize which
was won, as announced yesterday, by
Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of Mesa, Ariz
\ Tomorrow, just one more letter on
the Average Man which views him
from the second zone, and then we'll
have done with the subject for a
while.
Queries, reproofs, etc., are welcom-
ed by Clark Kinnaird.
