"Well, I could promote him to gen- eral manager of a little ranch that any fairly efficient cattleman could run," the king admitted. "But be kind to old Tom.

Andre Chariot, the famous Pro- ducer, has recently been trying to get a team of fifteen girls, each six feet high, • for a USW London play found that there weren't so many six- footers among the girls of to -day, and that, among those who passed the height test, the majority weren't of the type he required. There are many �t the young wo men of to -day who are tall, but those who reach tate six-foot mark aren't al- ways very pleased about it. The aver- age man seems to fight rattier shy of a wbman who is much taller than him - a self, and then a tall man very often marries a girl of the "petite" type. d Height, indeed, counts for less now e than ever it did, though, on the aver- age, people appear to be taller than formerly—many of the tallest people I saw so lately With Car Wanted in each district to'.,&ell,,-Mtn hogs ala made in.
