THE VOICE OF
Broadway
BY Louis SObOl-
Business VS.. Sentiment

A colorful theatrical figure
passed with the death Monday of
Sylvester z. Poll, New England's
vaudeville magnate. Practically
every star of current note played
for Poll at one time or another
and many are the stories told OF
his various eccentricities. George
M. Conan tells of the days when
the -Four Cohans, playing the Poll
circuit, were drawing a meager
$3.50 a week. George took it upon
himself to approach the car. 1--WE
want $50 a week more for our
act" he said. "You crazy"
stormed Poll. "You get enough
already" Came Christmas week
shortly after, and to the Conan
family arrived an elaborate set OF
silver easily worth $1,500-from
Poll. George went to see him
again. II can't understand you"
he protested; II ask you for $50 a
week raise and you turn me down
then you send a gift worth al
most $4,000" The theater owner
shrugged his massive shoulders
when I give you a present" he
said, that is friendship. The other
is business" Incidentally, Poll,
who started life as sculptor OF
cheap clay figures, designed the
$4,000 mausoleum in which his
body will lie.

Last Article in Health Series
Deals with Examinations

In closing the series of weekly
health articles which have been
sponsored during the winter and
spring months by the Imperial VAL
ley committee for the Save the
Children Fund, the value of perio-
die health examination is emphasiz-
ed.
when people buy a new car they
expect it to run fairly well for
while, but even so, they take it
to the garage periodically to have
it checked so that no serious or
costly trouble develops.
when people have new babies,
they are very careful to take them
to the doctor for periodic examina-
tions. They are claSely watched in
their infancy, but as they grow
older the parents begin to wait un-
til the child has a pain or other
symptoms before the doctor is call
ed
"The Older the car gets, the more
the parts are apt to wear out. The
human body resembles car in that
it is made up of parts which must
all be in good condition. and must
work together in order to function
properly. The older the car gets,
the more core is required to keep
it running. The older the human
beings get, the more apt they are
to develop trouble, and sadly enough
the more they tend to take it for
granted that their bodies are still
functioning properly.
Go to your doctor and have
physical examination at least once
a year. A good, thorough exami-
nation should consist of such items
as dental inspection, check of your
weight, a blood count, urinanly-
sis; check of your blood pressure;
an examination of your heart and
lungs.
Teeth which are dectyed dis
tribute puss into your system taus-
ing such illness as arthritis, rheu-
matism and heart disturbances.
Growing children should show a
steady gain in weight; adultsynain-
tain their normal weight s:within

"a blood count shows the con-
dition of the blood which is.so i'm

when your heart stops, you stop.
Have periodic examination to see
how it is bearing up.
your lungs are responsible for
providing the oxidation of the mu-
triton supply of the body. They
might be compared to the starter
of your car. Your car may be all
fueled and set to go, but the ignition
has to be turned on. The individual
is ready to go, but must be started
by air in the lungs.
Medical science has devised the
means of checking the body just as
the garage mans outline tells you
what needs to be checked on your
car. Why not avail yourself OF
these tests? A certain amount
spent in periodic examinations will
prevent three or four times as much
spent in treatments OF some pre-
ventable illness, and much unhappi-
ness and suffering.
start your baby in with periodic
examinations and arrange for them
until maturity. By that time, the
habit will be formed, and your
child will SO train his children. In
this way our Individual and public
health will benefit.
Individual health is necessary
for achievement and happiness, Pub
lie health means a more pleasant
world in which to live.
GO to your doctor this spring
for a physical check-up!'
