UP) Fat men make the best husbands, and school teachers the best wives. That' the word from the di rector of the National Institute for Human Relations. Dr. James F. Bender of New York City declared at the ses sion convocation of Buffalo State Teachers college yesterday: "The fat man is the least likely to want a divorce.

Teachers are well adjusted per sonalities as a rule and are less Inclined to be neurotic than the average American woman."

Only in this way could the number of rats there be controlled, he said. Park officials admitted there were plenty of rats. They added that there also were too many at the city zoo.
