Keep Up With Growing People
Elmer Waber
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York (UPI) The na
tion's economy is growing -more
than a half trillion dol
lars in size in
1960 - and so
are its people.
Makers o f
latex foam
cores for si
per-sized mat
tresses re
ported a six
fold rise in big
mat tress de
mand since
1947, and wondered why.
The Latex Foam Rubber
Council thereupon launched a
survey which showed that
while in 1900 only one out' of
every 25 American men meas
ured six feet, today in the 20
"29 year age bracket, one of
every five is six feet tall.
Also it showed that more
than 18 per cent of the Ameri
can women between the ages
of 20 and 29 are five feet,
geven inches tall. At the turn
of the century fewer than 4
per cent of the American
women attained five feet, sev
en inches.
Edward Welch, chairman of
the Latex Foam Rubber
Council, cited a specific case
of a hotel trying to cater to
its taller guests.
The new Denver - Hilton
specified that 10 per cent of
its 1,200 foam rubber mat
tresses be made 60 inches by
80 inches in size.
Purchases of home makers
confirm this trend of the
hotels. Large - sized sleeping
equipment, once only avail
able on custom order, can
now be found in most bedding
departments and in many
standard brands.
Welch also related an in
teresting finding of his coun
cil's survey. The average
sleeper changes position 20 to
45 times- a night and hence
needs more room for normal
body shifting.
Sleep experts, he says,
recommend that mattresses be
six inches longer than the
height of the user and provide
at least 36 inches of width for
each sleeper.
The latex council found the
demand rising also for longer
sofas. Where the six-foot sofa
once was pretty much stand
ard, today's orders are for
king - size installations for
hotels ; sofas 8 feet, 10 feet,
and even 12 feet long.
Big people need big towels.
A large hotel chain is substi
tuting bath towels of 26 inches
by 52 inches for ones that
measured 24 inches by 44 in
ches. Architects report that homes
also are being made larger for
big people. They find new
home-owners demanding high
er doorways, elevated sinks,
and longer bathtubs.
- To accommodate the larger
dimensions of students,
schools, according to a recent
study of the U.S. Office of
Education, are having to in
stall wider desks and work
benches as well as loftier
wash room facilities.
On the collegiate level, new
dormitories at Cornell, Uni
versity of California and sev
eral other institutions of high
ped with beds seven feet long.

The international institute
of clothing designers brings in
another dimension in which
American males are growing.
It finds that the average suit
now sold ranges between size
41 and size 42, against a 38
some 30 years ego.
Women's dress manufac
turers report a rise in extra
length orders. , A department
store estimates that 10 per
cent of American women now
fall into the 5-foot, eight-inch
or taller category.
In other words, production
sights of manufacturing and
service companies are being
raised vertically to keep the
comfort of a "growing" Amer
ica in focus.
They are adjusting their
production planning and pur
chasing to the change inythe
national stature and to the
additional fact that children
already are or will be at least
one inch taller on the average
than their parents.
One place were the length
of the citizens doesn't seem to
be considered important is
the new trend toward auto
mobile building. However, the
makers of the compacts stress
their roominess space for
long-legged drivers and pas
sengers. But a big guy still has to do
a lot of winding up to get
aboard a New York taxicab.
And the commuting trains;
while allowing fair space for
length of the patrons, appar
ently haven't considered their
width in the seating arrangements.
Equipment Taken from
Oil Sales Plant Here
An adding machine and
typewriter were taken Wed
nesday night from the Stand

Nothing else in the office

Carbon Dioxide
Intoxication
Said Increasing
Los Angeles-(Science Serv-ice)-Carbon
dioxide intoxica
tion, often unrecognized but
serious nevertheless, may be
on the increase. -
This is suggested by Dr.
Ronald J. 05Reilly, radiolo
gist at the University of Cali
fornia Medical Center, Los
Angeles, whose recent review
of the disorder appears in Dis
eases of the Chest. '(
Carbon dioxide intoxication
may occur when lungs; weak
ened by chronic diseases, such
as emphysema, are unable to
get rid of carbon dioxide prop
erly. Abnormally High Levels
As a result the gas builds
up to abnormally high, levels
in the blood, an imbalance
which in turn affects the con
trol of breathing. Initially one
may overbreathe but the end
point is underbreathing.
Symptoms of the disorder
are drowsiness or actual coma
and a blue color from lack of
oxygen in the blood.
A standard treatment for
patients with an aparent lack
of oxygen is to place them in
an oxygen tent. But in patients
suffering from carbon dioxide
intoxication this may initiate
a vicious circle. As more oxy
gen comes in, breathing may
be depressed and more, carbon
dioxide "piles up" In a sys
tem which cannot properly rid
itself of the gas. Sudden
death may follow.
Simple Tests
Carbon dioxide levels in the
blood may be determined by
relatively simple tests, Dr.
O'Reilly points out. If there is
carbon dioxide intoxication,
the patient may be placed in
an iron lung, which will do
the breathing for him. In this
manner, oxygen can be ad
ministered moderately with
out risk to the weakened pa
tient who might otherwise
stop breathing.
