   Hère, again, the numbers at demobilization from  certain of  the  States  and
Terri tories, like Alaska, Nevada,  and  Wyoming,  are  so small that no stress
must be laid upon the average that they  show.
7. INCREASE IN WEIGHT AT DEMOBILIZATION OVER MOBILIZATION (TABLE 31).

   For the United States  as  a whole, the troops show an increase in weight
of  3.35 pounds.   The greatest increase was found in men from Alaska,  11.51
pounds, where the number weighed was  too small to furnish reliable averages.
In the upper half of  the list,  showing an increase of 4 pounds or more, we find
certain Southern States,  such as Louisiana,  with an  average  increase  of  6.8
pounds; Oklahoma,   6.1   pounds;  Virginia,   5.7; Arkansas,   5.6;  Tennessee,
5.4;  Texas.  5.1; West  Virginia, 5.1;  North Carolina,  4.7;   Kentucky,  4.5;
South Carolina, 4.4;  and Mississippi, 4.3.   On the other hand, the only Southern
