Composite Draftee

Having unearthed a perfect draftee (TIME, Nov. 10), the Army got around to figuring out a composite one. He is quite a trim character, a little on the small side. He stands 5 ft. 8 in., weighs 144 lb., has a lean 31-in. waistline, a 33 1/4-in. chest, feet that can be fitted with 9 1/2-D shoes. To keep him during his first year in the Army, the Quartermaster Corps shells out $404.65--$175.20 (48-c- a day) for food; $162.05 for clothing; $15.79 for individual equipment such as shaving gear; $51.61 for barracks equipment such as sheets. He puts away 41 lb. 9 oz. a week of assorted beef, chicken, pork, vegetables, cereals, fruits, coffee, milk, and seven eggs. He is the best-dressed soldier in the world, has a wardrobe that permits nine changes of costume.
