Valentine some checking ting wider by the day. A national seat firm recently made a special study of the average space taken up by Americans when they are seated. The results are quite astounding. Most of the 29 county sheriff's offices 149 municipal police and marshal's offices in Utah are tied in with the FBIs National Crime Information Center (NCIC) in Washington, D.C. "But few of them fully utilize the facilities available through NCIC, said Mr. Ashpole. And few take the time to feed information concerning crime m their areas into NCIC to provide for any type of national crime summary." The NCIC, established in January, and span of 14 inches. Some 23 years ago, the seat breadths of Americans were smaller. Back 23 years ago, a theater or large public arena could get away with 17 and wide seals. Not any more. Before they agree on the seat measurements, the boys at the Salt Palace are going to have to do some research and determine whether they are going to get a young crowd or an older crowd. h BECAUSE THE OLDER an American gets, the more seat breadth he manages to accumulate. The American male reaches his maximum seat breadth between the ages of 25 to 34. It takes American women longer. They reach maximum seat breadth between 45 and 54. Of course, the gals can shavean inch or two off these figures by wearing a good girdle. But girdles shouldn't be necessary. I would hate to see the Salt Palace end up with seats so smalt that there would have to be a sign at thrfront gates reading: Tickets sold only to ladies wearing girdles. If don't get seals in the Salt Palace, we'll all regret it . . . at public gatherings are very uncomfortable. I've sat in seats that were so small that when I stood np, the scat stood np with me . . . In addition, I like to sprawl when I'm at a public Small seats affair. Another thing: Small seats are very bad for the lumbar region of the lower back. If the seat is too small, there will be pressure on the popliteal area of the inner knee while a person is seated. My goodness, we surely don't want a fellow to be sitting in the Salt Palace looking at a circus, a hockey game or a judo tournament, and end up with pressure bn his lumbar region and a tingling in the popliteal area of his knee. we need bigger scats is because we're all getting bigger.

ANOTHER SURVEY MAKES die same point. Members of this year's graduation class at Yale University are an average of 1.3 inches taller than members of the Yalp's 1938 graduation ela We're growing taller . , . Back in the davs of the American Revolution, the average male was four inches shorter than today's average man. And by the end of the 21st Century, American women will stand an average of 3 feet 8 . . . and the average American male will be 6 foot 6.

Mr. Ashpole said many rural law enforcement chiefs he talked with in making the study were proud to admit they were "hooked up with NCIC, through the Utah Bureau of Identification, but few said they had ever the time or manpower to contribute anything to the system.

Fillis, that Salt Lake City was the first police department in the nation to utilize features of a computer as large as the 1108. Operation began about two months ago. Programs include such items as field contact cards (which officers fill out when spotting suspicious persons while 'on patrol); listings of wanted motor vehicles; inventories of lots, stolen and recovered bicycles; lists of stolen and recovered property; traffic accident summaries; reports of persons arrested; arrested persons classified by charges, and case loads listed by crime and patrol districts. Other programs include listings of traffic violations, indexing of crimes on a monthly and yearly basis, and an index encompassing the name of every person who came in contact with police during the year, whether as a victim, complainant or witness. Chief Fillis said the department also breaks down reported crimes and arrested persons according to patrol districts, time of day, method of operation, physical descriptions, aliases, sex and age. to Victim Out $145 In Shell Game b A Norfolk, Neb., man complained to police Saturday that lie was cheated out of $145 by two men who befriended him while he waited in a Salt Lake City bus terminal.

As they walked near 2nd South and West Temple a third man came from behind and inquired about a street address. Mr. Wiedeman said the tluee began talking and decided to "flip coins," and pool their money in a small pouch, winner take all.
