Ranks Farm Children Above Those City-Bred. Farm children are superior to city- reared children, says a national re- port on a survey of the physical growth and mental attainment of the boys and girls of New Zealand. Su- periority of farmers’ children was pronounced at the age of thirteen. The survey included .20,000 town and country children ranging in age from ten to fourteen, and was car- ried out by Dr. Alda Paterson, direct- or of the health department’s division of school hygiene, and Dr. E. Mars- den, assistant director of education. Grouping the boys and girls in ac- cordance with ‘the fathers’ occupa- tions, - the invegtigators ascertained that the children of the farmers were tallest, being closely followed by those of professional men. Regarding weight, it was shown that farmers’ children were markedly heavier than the average, while the children of professional men, though above the average in height, showed no excess in weight. Total result of the survey showed that the average height and average weight of children of good mental at- tainment were greater than in the case of those of inferior ability. State Forests are Hunters’ Paradise? During the past hunting season 46 per cent of the bear killed in Pennsyl- 'vania were on State forests, accord- ing to final reports compiled by the Department of Forests and Waters. Legitimate hunting and fishing 1s encouraged on the State Forests of Pennsylvania, and while they com- prise less than one-tenth the total area of the Comomnwealth, they sup- plied in 1927 nearly one-half the deer and more than one third the bear killed by the hunters of Pennsylvania. The Moshannon. Forest District, |i comprising the . county of . Clearfield ‘and a part of Centre, leads all (the other State forests in the number of deer killed, with a total of 1196. The Delaware forest district is second, with 758. That the Elk forest dis- trict, comprising the counties of Elk and Cameron, is worthy of the name, is evidenced by the fact that six of the eight elk killed during the past year on the State forests were on this district. Almost Half a Million Must Obtain License. Almost half a million Pennsylva- nians were unable to drive their au- tomobiles yesterday because of their failure to obtain their 1928 operators’ permits before Wednesday midnight. Officials in the State department of highways announced today that out of the 1,793,347 operators licensed in 1927 only 1,377,258 had obtained their new permits prior to today. A long line of motorists formed outside of the highway department office building this morning as men and women sought to obtain the yel- low pasteboards which permit them to drive. Highway patrolmen had explicit or- ders to arrest all drivers unable to show the yellow 1928 license cards. The operator’s license year is from the first day of March until the last day of February.
