A freaky place this world will be in some 3,000 years or so if the predictions predictions of scientists come near to being fulfilled. Statistics show lately that girls are putting" on weight right along and growing taller with a rapidity which has never been observed before. before. And according, to all indications, indications, it seems that in the somewhat distant future the female of the species will be much taller than the male. One of the main reasons as-; cribed for the development is that attributed to the growing love of sports and outdoor exercises on the part of women, and they have more time to devote to sports, while the men are busy pursuing their business business interests. Careful investigation by the British British association spread . over a lengthy period shows that girls of thirteen nowadays are taller than the boys of the same age. * The most striking development of girls takes pla-ce between the eleventh and thirteenth year. Before that the boys and girls are generally about equal. The late Dr. Forbes Winslow, specialist in mental diseases, held that the increase ,^in lunacy was so great that we would all be a mad race in 300 years or so. But he also thought that it was possible that the mad world might give way in time to a race of geniuses--a state of affairs, however, which in some people's minds would be just as bad as the mad era preceding it. According to Dr. Clement Lucas we are likely also to become a one- toed race. In an address which he gave not long ago before the Royal Congress of Surgeons, he ,stated that the big toe has, undergone a really extraordinary development, while our other toes, not used so much, are tending to become amall^ er and smaller. If the world @ws on long enough, in 1,000,000 years or so the uselesf outer toes, being less and less employed, may have disappeared entirely. --* needs all the The average man patience he has and then some.
