THE IDEAL HEIGHT.

Recruits who are much over six

United States artnv. There are exA/\?l^

men who run much over six feet
lack depth of chest and by reason
r>f inadequate lung capacity fall below
the average in power of endurjnee.
The ideal height for a man, according
to observations from a military
point of view, is an inch and a
half under six feet. It does not
eera to be intended by nature that
the male human animal shall exceed
this stature if due regard is to
l?e had for development at all
[mints. On the other hand, it is an
)bviou8 disadvantage for physical
:ff?etiveness to be under the average
number of inches. At five feet
len and a half a man attains his
hest development of muscle and
:>one, with highest vital efficiency.
Jint what is the average heifer

)ther hand, the American Indian*
?re taller than we are, and the
iborigiues of Patugoina are the
oftiest folk in the world, inasmuch
is the men commonly run over six
feet in height. When the early ,
Spanish explorers described them
is a race of giants they were not
"ar from the fact.
Kven in the United States the
stature seems to vary considerably

'rom the beginning to the end of

nore than 2,500,000 men, the tall?>t
recruits came from Kentucky,
iveraging over live feet eight and a

After fifty years of age the hur.an
body begins to undergo \i progressive
