WOMEN

In 1880 the average height Of women will be six
feet, two inches. So claim men of science. Seems
logical. There are lot of women that tall right
now. am six feet, one and half inches tall and
often see females who are taller. l saw one the
other day who was at least six feet, seven inches
tall. She wasn't such bad locker. Was we-pro-

thing to do with the increase in height of present
day youngsters Is said young people born and
brought up near large radio stations grow taller

Istitutes more than one-half of the

Draper, chairman of the Govern

per cent of this minimum goal
any more than we expect our fight
ing boys to stop when they have
obtained a single days objective"
he added. I'VE ought to 60 gen.
erously over 100 per cent as a Gov

only of our generosity but also of
our faith in those who are doing

Spreading Strikes Cui
British War Output
las Invasion Nears
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April Britain is
heading for invasion day faced with
mounting handicap Of strikes in
vital industry which made March
probably the worst month of the
war in the number of men idle and
working days lost. The time has
been lost despite efforts of labor
unions to keep the men at work.
Three major strikes alone-two
of which are continuing-involved
at least 235,000 men and cost we'll
over 100000 work days, according
to unofficial but conservative esti-
mates.
This was more than double the
official total announced today by the
Labor Ministry for February
272,000 working days lost in strikes
involving 100000 workers.
None Attributed to Unions.
None of the present walkouts has
been union-called or the result of
Ijurisdictional disputes. In every
case, the labor unions have COUNSEL
ed against walkout and have
urged mediation.
However, the estimated March
loss of man hours was greater than
the strike total for the entire wear
of 1941, to which coal field disputes
contributed about half of the 999, 900
working days lost.
AS in February, when the coal
fields contributed $4,000 strikers and
216, 900 lost work days to the months
totals, the mines again were the
chief trouble spots last month. In
the first weeks a dispute over rates
for special classes of work touched
of strike which spread through the
South Wales and Monmouthshire
fields.
Involved $4,000 Miners.
This closed virtually every main
colliery and involved 125 900 miners
in Britain's worst walkout since the
1926 general strike. The men re-
turned to the pits under a tentative
settlement, but almost immediately
trouble broke out in South York
shire over pay deductions for home
coal.
BY the end of March this had in
volved at least 10000 workers in 70
pits and little hope is seen of settling
the dispute before Easter.
The coal field troubles were indi-
rectly responsible for simultaneous
strike in the shipbuilding industry
at Clydeside and Tyneside, where
10000 apprentices walked out in pro-
test of a government ruling that
they were eligible for drafting for
compulsory service in the pits. They
refused union appeals to return.
| The strike is continuing despite a
swift government breakdown order
ing youths to report for physical
examinations for military service on
the ground the walkout voided their
deferment based on essential
occupation.
