The Australian race is becoming taller and heavier. Australian children are growing faster than they did 20 years ago, a Sydney cablegram states. This is announced by Professor Harvey Sutton, director of the School of Public Health at Sydney University. At 15 the Australian boy is now 21, inches taller and a stone heavier than he was at that age in 1914. The Australian girl of 15 is an inch taller and 101 b heavier.
