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.
A small girl asked her mother:
“If I grow up and get married, will
I have a husband like papa?”
“Yes, dear,” the mother replied.
“And if I do not get married, will
I be an old maid like Auntie?”
“Yes.”
The girl thought for a minute, and
remarked: “Well, I'm in a fix.,”—The
Christian Century.
