MYTHS . . ? . about animali
The longer I live, the more I mar
vel *t the credulity of the human
r*cc. So many things that "evcry
Kxlv knows." turn out not to be
true'. When I was a boy "every
body" knew that if you put a horse
hair in a rainwater barrel and lctt
n there long enough it would tura
into a snake. I suppose there are
ocople who still believe that,
??Everybody knows'' that wolves
are dangerous wild beasts which do
not hesitate to attack people, but a
wan I know up in Canada has had
a cash reward standing for years for
proof that a wolf ever attacked y
human being, and nobody has claimcd
it. Canadian trappers say that
wolves aarc never msmrk.ltfttv an^
Dr. Stefansson, famous explorer,
says the same about European
.wolves. .
"Everybody knows'?' tha: the red
fox is a cbieken thief, to be shot on
sight, iiut the Michigan t'onserva
tieu Department repont that Br ex
Fox; lives. toiost^ on grasshoppers
and insects, and has asked tor a law
to protect him.
GROWTH .... continues
Until lively it has been generally
believed that everybody, unless the
victim of some rare malady, stopped
growing somewhere between fifteen
anj thirty. Now Dr. Ales Hrdlicka
? i the Smithsonian Institution, who
has measured more livii'g persons
and skeletons than auyone else, says
that most people keep ou growing
right up to 50 or 'iO. Uui bones ae
tually grow. Our heads get larger,
cmd so do our noses, ears and mouths.
I was a bit skeptical about that
until I remembered tbat when I was
25 I woru a 7?/8 hat, and now, with
aimch less hair and no fat at all over
my skull, I have to get a 7V?.
Sr. Hrdlicka says he Lai no ready
explanation for the facte he offers,
out suggests that the enlargement of
people's heads may be duo to growth
of the brain through use,
SHOES ... c and barley corn
(1 had lunch the other day with
America's largest shoe retailer. I
asked hirr. a question which La# long
puzzled me. What do shoe sizes mean If
How much difference is there be
tween a size 7 and a *jlq 8f "A
barleycorn," be told me. I knew that
ancient standard of measurement, for
in mj first school arithmetic it start
ed with "three barleycorns make one
inch." But my 7^ shoe, I pointed
X4, was certainly more than 2%
inches long, so if each size was only
a third of an inch, the numbers must
start somewhere above zero.
We got 60me other shoe men into
the discussion, and finally went to
my friend's store and began measur
ing shoes. We found that the small
eat shoe is a baby's No. 0, is for a
foot four inches long. Then there
are thirteen sizes, each & third of an
inch, in children's shoes, before you
get to No. 1 in men's sizes,
I thought it was an interesting bit
?.f infonrktion, worth passing along.
FEET getting bigger
American feet are getting bigger,
my shoe-dealer friend told me. Men
and women alike are wearing larger
shoes, on the average. There is no
obvious explanation except that we
fire better nourished than our grand
parents were and our bodies gener
aly are larger, with feet In propnr
lion.
Analyzing the records of the sales
of ten million pairs of shoes, my
?friend said, he had fhi.nd that more
men wear size 8-D *han any other
one size, and more women get a 6-B.
To shoe the men, women and child
len of the United Stutcs lai*t year
took 415 million pairs. The 50 mil
lion men and boya bought 120 million
pairs, making the average life of their
shoes about five months. The 77 mil
V on women and children bought 312
?uillion pairs of shoes last year. I've
noticed that wives usually have more
?aoes in the closet than their husbands
have I
