NEW YORK. Oct. 27—The stage "stooge" is find-
ing a shorter cut to theatrical recognition than the
understudy. The origin of the term ‘stooge" is ob»
scure but is believed to have come from burlesque.
The "stooge" is a sort of dead-panned foil for a
comedian.
Patsy Kelly began as a “stooge" for Frank Fay in a
vaudeville skit. Three other Fay's stooges have be-
come recognized harlequins in various revues. Perhaps
the first to give this form of entertainer a break was
Phil Baker. In the beginning the "stooge" interrupted
Baker from a box.
It developed into a cross fire patter in which the
“stooge” was given the very best' of the gags—always
in the form of ridicule for Baker The original Baker
'too®" left him to become a high salaried gagster
in Hollywood. His present “stooge" Mr Muldowney
lias received many offers.
Ted Healy gave rowdy impetus to the calling by
featuring a dozen of them in a vaudeville act Re-

KEEP TAB ON STUDENTS' HEALTH
With the co-operation of parents, local public
schodls are achieving worthwhile results from periodic
physical examinations of school students and through
is system of records to show the health history of each
individual student. A survey of Junior and senior high
school students made recently brought out some in-
teresting facts about the percentages of these stu-
dents who are underweight, normal or overweight.
In addition to this information, records are kept
showtg the condition of teeth, heart, throat. lungs,
nose and other tactors which affect health. These
cards show, over a period of time, a progressive
health history of students while they are passing
through an important stage of growth. In some in-
stances defects have been found and remedied
through co-operation with parents that otherwise
would have brought on serious consequences in sater
. years. >
it is no criticism of parents to say that they often
overlook symptoms in their children which are evi-
dent to physicians or' others trained through experi-
ence to notice these neith warnings That is why
such health examinations and health records in the
schools are so productive of real good and why parents
so often appreciate this health work and co-operate
with school officials in remedying tiny defects that
might be found in their enndren.
