We imagine that Fatty Arbuckle could repent just as sincere
ly singing hash in a restaurant as he can making a quarter of a
million in the movies. At least we are willing that he should try
it. The sanctimonious air which he assumes in his lecturing the
public on its unforgiving nature is a role not nearly so we'll por-
trayed as some of his other comic stunts.

Examination Is Test.
DR.. Toulmin disagrees with the
view recently expressed at the

ISOLATION that the proper gauge of

ity to work without fatigue and
his feeling Of fitness" He de-
clared that the only true index
to physical condition is a thor.
ough physical examination. This
conclusion was reached after con.
sidering the fact that life insur.
ance physical examinations very
frequently reveal physical defects
in men who are able to accomplish
their tasks in ar efficient manner
and who have a feeling Of physical
fitness
