BY the ASSOClateC Press
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
American woman's figure is not so
short and it's not dumpy, says the
Metropolitan 6fe Insurance Co.
on the contrary, "the average
stature of American women is show
ing satisfactory Improvement
Metropolitan's statisticians ad-
mitted they had been investigating
the length and breadth of the fe-
male figure ever since the Agricul-
ture Department reported that the
average height of American women
was but 5 feet 31-16 inches.
This relatively low figure Gre
ates a false impression in that the
measurements we're made in stock
ing feet, whereas the commonly
quoted average is based on measure
ments in Shoes" said the statisti-
clans.
They thought that 5 feet inches
would be fairer way to list the
average for the little woman-as-
Stunning she wears shoes with a 2
inch heel.
Furthermore, better tlmeS are
ahead" they predicted.
while in general today's women
may not have figures quite as at
tractive as the movie stars and pro-
fessional models who are popularity
held UP as ideals Of the sex :
improvement of the average stature
may be expected to continue until
the general average of future gen.
erations should come close to that
of the glamorized groups" their re-
port stated.
They thought that the Govern
ment report was biased" inasmuch
as "the (GovernmenD sample con-
tanned a disproportionate number of
such groups of women as those from
the cities, the Eastern Seaboard
and low-income families-in which
the average height is distinctly low
as compared with the general pop
ulation."
The statisticians agreed with the
