work say marvellous progress is being
made and that England will very soon
have a formidable aerial fleet.
After an exanina ton by X-rays and
otherwise of the hearts of $50 athletes
and 800 students DR.. Bender OF Buda-
psf, would discard the term sport
heart as used on the continent for
cardiac dilation in athletes.
His examinations were confined
chiefly to defining the outlines of the
heart. He found that of those persons
who had been taking part in athletic
sports and active bodily exercise for
year or two the majority manifested
some di1ation of the heart, which how
ever, did not at all interfere with their
health. He was inclined to regard such
dilation as a semi physiological condi-
ton with those who are habituated to
athletic sports and exercises. His con-
clusion is that such exercises, even
when decidedly energetic, are not In
furious because the vascular system
and the cardiac action gradually adapt
themselves to the slight dilation.
Neither does arterio-schleros1s occur
in a greater percentage in athletes
than among other persons. OF course
the conclusions apply to normal and
healthy subjects and not to those who
are addicted to any excuses or over
indulgence in alcohol or tobacco.

ences all over the world.
In the character of the picturesque
beggar, Hail. Mr.. Skinner has won the
highest laurels of his career The part
demands the full measure of this bril-
liant actors art, and in his impersona-
ton he has opportunity to reveal his
mastery of technique as well as the
depth of his human understanding and
sympathy. Associated with Mr.. Skin
ner are George Gaul, Walter Cluxton.
