SummaryThe article contains a short review of a campaign, undertaken in Holland during the last 12 years to arrive at standardized sizes for women's and men's clothing. The first campaign was undertaken by a department store, the second one by the clothing industry.The operational value of a sizing system depends on the value of three parameters which are not, of course, independent of each other: coverage of the system, number of sizes and average cost of alterations.The basis of the standardization is furnished by measuring a sample of the population of customers and by measuring the fitting‐tolerances of clothing.The proposed sizing systems are:a. Ladies' dresses — a two‐dimensional system based on waist girth and length of back, containing 14 sizes and giving a coverage of 90%.b. Men's suits — a system with a variable number of dimensions (2 to 4). The identification dimensions are waist girth, length of leg, hip girth and inclination of shoulder. The proposed system gives a coverage of 90% with 34 sizes. Both systems have been experimentally verified.Stress is laid on the necessity of an international sizing standardization.

SummaryWhen no scale is available, it is hardly possible to come to a well‐founded judgment on the basis of evaluations of immeasurable characteristics.A description is given of an investigation from the results of which a scale (of photographs) is prepared of the immeasurable characteristics by means of the method of paired comparisons.

The concept "level of SE development" plays an important role in the study of comparative politics, but little attention has been paid to its operationalization & measurement accuracy. The use of the concept in the cross-national literature is reviewed, & an attempt is made to provide a meaningful definition through the construction of an index via confirmative factor analysis of select indicators. An evaluation of the index's validity & utility in cross-national research is provided. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 2 Appendixes, 26 References. Modified HA
