PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Stainless
mufflers that may last as long as
your car are being tested in a variety
of automobiles throughout the coun-
try.
The Allegheny Ludlum Steel Cor-
poration here is cooperating with a
number of muffler manufacturers in
the use of stainless steel in mufflers.
The firm claims that conventional
mufflers are made of mild steel that
lasts, on the average, one and a half
years, or about 15,000 miles.
Stainless steel mufflers would be
far more resistant to strong sulfuric
and hydrochloric acids produced by
modern fuels than conventional
mufflers.

Survey Measures
Girth of a Nation
HE HAD DROP BUT
COULDN’T PULL TRIGGER
This concerns the girth of a na-
tion.
A new and unusual study of our
waistlines maps geographically
where they bulge the most. And I’m
sure glad I hail originally from near
Charleston, W. Va. We Charlesto-
nians, along with residents of Wor-
chester, Mass., are the skinniest of
the nation. Oklahoma City and
Denver residents are the fattest.
Texas Big
Texas also appears to be about as
big in the paunch as it is in every-
thing else. And the so-called back-
bone of the nation—the middle and
southwest—is well cushioned. Fat-
sos abound in Columbus, Ohio, In-
dianapolis, Chicago, Houston and
Cincinnati.
These are some of the findings in
a drug store “sampling” done by a
research corporation. Reducing aid
wanted to find where it should con-
centrate its sales campaigns, ex-
plained the president, John Andres.
The firm claims this is the first
such “overweight map” ever drawn.
Until now, it says, the only available
statistics on the obesity problem has
been the generally accepted findings
of major life insurance companies.
They list some 17 million adults—or
one of every five persons—weighing
more than is good for them.
(The American Medical Associa-
tion figures you’re a fatty if you’re
10 to 15 percent above the average
for your height and weight.)
Andres said the map was compiled
from more than 5,000 question-
naires turned in by customers of 700
drug stores. The study did not try
to determine whether there is a re-
lation of fat of the land and fat bank
accounts.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Jeremiah
Thompson, 82-year-old tavern
watchman sits at his post with a
loaded shotgun across his lap.
Yesterday, given the opportunity
to use the weapon when a thief broke
into the tavern wielding a knife,
Thompson declined, saying: “I just
couldn’t shoot a man.”
Capital Gains
It took notice though of capital
gains—residents of most state capi-
tals and Washington, D. C., were
above average.
Few areas turned out to be “per-
fectly average.” Only Akron, Ohio,
and San Antonio, Texas, rated the
“one in five.”
The study found that the percent-
age of fatties increased as you move
inland from both coasts. San Fran-
cisco and Boston, (a shrinking capi-
tal), for example, averaged one
adult of 10 as obese.
Most cities along the Pacific Coast
averaged below the national figure.
But the study found that, with the
exceptnions of “cornfed” Omaha and
Lincoln, Neb., no major city in the
Midwest or Southwest could boast a
below average weight.
As a whole, the report showed,
Southern and New England States
are the leanest.
Just why some states are fat and
others skinny, the study didn’t try
to determine.
But based on the national ratio of
“20 overweights per 100 persons”
(the one in five), here is how vari-
ous cities ranked:
Dallas Ratio
Oklahoma City, 45 out
100 overweight; Denver, 42; Colum-
bus, 40; Indianapolis, 38; Rochester,
N. Y., 37; Minneapolis and St. Paul,
36; Dallas, Dayton and Phoenix, 33;
Albany, Kansas City and New Hav-
en, 32;
Chicago, Cincinnati and Milwau-
kee, 30; Baltimore, Washington and
Cleveland, 28; Fort Worth and Hous-
ton, 27; Birmingham, 26; Miami,
Sacramento and St. Louis, 25; Atlan-
ta, 24; and Detroit, 22;
Average of 20 to 100, Akron and
San Antonio.
Under 20 per 100 average:
Los Angeles, New York and Phil-
a delphia, 18; Buffalo and Richmond,
17; New Orleans and Seattle, 16;
Hartford, 15; Tampa and St. Peters-
burgh, 13; Providence and Portland,
Ore., 12; Boston, San Francisco and
Youngstown, Ohio, 10; San Diego
and San Bernardino, 9; Memphis, 7;
Louisville, Norfolk and Charleston,
S. C., 5; and Worchester, Mass., and
Charleston, W. Va., 4.
