Dr. Bayley points out that generally accepted ideas of growth are inaccurate. Parents become unduly worried because they think their children are too tall or too short be-

cause of some glandular. abnor-

mality, But scientific studie¢ by Dr. Bayley, based on the averages of large numbers of children, indicate that children who grow too fast generally slow down to become small adults, while those who grow too slowly continue their growth

over a longer period to become tall adults, Dr. Bayley based her findings on x-rays of the hands and knee Joints, which give a good picture of “skeletal age” and indicate how much more growth can be expected. In her table Dr. Bayley arrives at the ultimate height at maturity by matching the “skeletal age,” as shown by x-rays, with the height of the child at the time x-rays are taken, and considering actual chronological age. Here is an example of how the table works for a girl who is growing too fast. Mary, at 111; years, is 62 inches tall, has a skeletal age of 13, and chronological age tables predict she will mature at 69.3 inches. Dr. Bayleys table, based on a large number of actual cases, show that Mary's full adult height will be only 65.9 inches. * Dr. Bayley says that the table will be useful not only to endoctrinologists, but will also be helpful to bone surgeons in operations to equalize leg lengths. The University of California studies indicate that there are marked differences in growth for boys and girls. Early maturing girls are usually large when young, slowing down to about average in height at 13 years, and completing - their growth rapidly, to become small adults. Late maturing girls are more often small when young, catch up to the average at about 13 and become tall adults. Egrly maturing boys do not stop growing abruptly, but slow down more gradually, and have a normal likelihood of becoming tall, or average, or short adults: Late maturing boys continue to grow, some even into their early twenties, and more often than not they Become tall

adults.

JEX-61 WOMEN AIR TROUBLES

Find Discharge Pin Brings Remarks, No Jobs.

By DOROTHY WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 16.—Returning service women are finding too often that their discharge buttons prompt eatty remarks and misunderstanding. instead. of jobs. Troubles of the job-hunting woman veteran were aired at an informal conference called here by Rep. Chase Going Woodhouse (D. Conn.), nationally recognized. authority on vocational guidance. Because Connecticut is the’ only state with an official advisory committee for veterans—a group to aid them back into civilian. life—the back-to-work problems of service personnel are being test-tubed there. Miss Elizabeth Toelk, executive secretary of the West Haven, Conn., veterans’ center—a community organization—reported that she had run into a good bit of eyebrow lifting over service women, “Some former service girls won't

cause of the things people say,” said Miss Toelk, a former marine sergeant. : “I know because I've had some of that talk addressed to me,” she continued. “Often it comes from men veterans. They say we got our rank , through drag or make some other equally silly comment. “Service women know that isn't true. Many of them worked their ‘way up, as I did, from buck privates. On the other hand, many men veterans have a great appreciation for what women did in the war.” Frequently, women veterans report that men will tell them “they never should have enlisted,” that “their place was in the home,” Miss Toelk said. Mrs. Ford Wulfeck of Naugatuck, Conn., chairman of her state's advisory committee for women veterans, and the mother of a serviceman, bore out Miss Toelk's claim. However, both Miss Toelk and Mrs. Wulfeck agreed that the biggest problem was to find jobs in which women service veterans could use the special talents and skills they developed in service. Employees must be educated to the fact that service women learned
