The Physical Proportions of the Typical Matt In computing the normal height,weight, and chest-girth, I used, simply for com parison with and in verification of my own deductions, data compiled from various sources, representing over a million meas urements of eachof these parts. The directions for the use of the chart are very simple : To findthe standingof an in dividual in relation to the total number examined, ascertain which one of the perpendicular lines, at its junction with the horizontal line, is inter sected by the dotted line indicating his standing. For instance, if his line, at its junction with the horizontal line leading from the weight, inter sect the perpendicular line i mme d i a t e l y u n d e r t h e figure 20, it would indi cate that 80 per cent of all those examined sur passed him in weight, while the comple ment of this, or 20 per cent, failed to sur pass him.
