...Glueck Social Prediction Chart, probably the most realistic appraisal of the background of delinquency yet made, is based on these factors...
...Gluecks' research can be of great practical use. For example, one study of 200 soldiers who had committed military offences indicated that 85 per cent of them would have been denied induction on the basis of Glueck chart scores. The treatment of recalcitrant children can hopefully be undertaken even before school to deflect predicted delinquency. Some judges have indicated that the scores might help them in sentencing juvenile offenders...
...reason for the upsurge is that ever since World War II the average age of U.S. machine tools has been rising steadily (see chart). The latest census of the American Machinist magazine (taken only every five years) showed last week that 64% of the nation's machine tools are now ten or more years old v. only 38% in 1945.

France-Soir's diminutive (5 ft. 2 in.)

This moderate rise in food prices reflected increased processing and distribution costs; prices received by farmers actually declined during the 1950s, and have only slowly inched upward under Freeman (see chart). The average U.S. family spent 26% of aftertax income for food 15 years ago; today food takes only 19%. Says Freeman: "This is the smallest share of income spent for food by any people, anywhere in the world, at any time in modern history." In contrast, expenditures for food take...
