Figures for measurements of recruits in Norway. Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and Italy over a period of years all show an increase in weight also. Even in Japan measurements on students record increases of growth while it is recalled that in the United States there has been a slight increase in growth during the last 80 years. In general, however, it is stated, "the bodily build of both sexes has tended to become slimmer, especially for women in the region of the hips, an observation also made in Germany.” This change is attributed primarily to environmental influences, including general improvement in average diets and the result of sports and gymnasium work. "It is noticeable,” adds the report, "that the in habitantscf cities in general are bigger than countrymen. Those of the North bigger than those of the South. Hence one han hardly attribute the change to the effect of sunlight,which some have occasionally regarded as the primary factor of growth.”

PAPERS REVEAL ODD TRENDS OF NEWS IN 1930s AUSTIN, Tex. ’UP*—News as it was written and displayed more than 100 years ago is being exhibited at the University of Texas Centennial Exposition here. Copies of early Texas Republican, published in Brazoria. July 5, 18.34, has two stories on page one. A speech about forming a state govemnient takes up most of the page. The editor of the Telegraph and Texas Register, published in San Felipe de Austin, Oct. 17, 1835, preferred poetry to news. More than onethird of his front page is devoted to a poem, "Dawn.’’ In another a letter concerning Texas Independence covers all the page, in still another half of the front Page is devoted to advertising. The rest of the page contains stories on the climate of Australia and the laws passed at the third session of the Fortieth Congress. In the Jan. 12, 1865, edition of the Dallas Herald appears a story of an engagement fought in the Civil War. It is listed simply as "In Sunday’s Mail.”
