A Philadelphia press summary notes signs that American women are growing taller and larger, with fashion shifting from 42 inch skirts to 46 inch model lengths. It links these changes to aging, exercise, and athletic life, highlighting college grads and career women as taller and stronger figures. The report also touches on a mountain lion incident involving a boy and a rope lasso, and includes brief society notes on Ruth’s naming of her sister Marion, Maude Andrews, and an endorsement for Brown's Iron Bitters.

Giant Corn From Peru Interest in Prolific Zea Species

Samples from Peru show a giant Zea species four times larger than common corn. The grains are extremely starchy, with one variety possibly high in sugar. Research by Professor L. L. Stur and colleagues aims to determine cultivation methods and origins, noting the plant likely derives from the Zea mays complex and may relate to United States maize lineage. A separate note recalls Miss Burta Ganey Boyd, famed as Grace Darling, who saved sailors near St Stephen with the Ledge Light lifeboat and a gold watch. The report also mentions curious antiquated ideas about adaptions and speculative claims.
