Professional Nail Eater and Circus
Performer Fails to Pass Med
leal Test. ( .
Boston Just because one can eat
lacks and cut gloss without hnvlng in
digestion Is no Nign that he would make
:i good soldier. That Is v. hat Albert
Logan of Sonterville, was told today
when he applied for enlistment nt the
liritish-Ciinadinu recruiting mission.
I.ognn (tiled, ont an application blank
nnd gave his m-cupntiiui-us "profession
al nail enter and circus performer."
The rlerk looked up. "Don't believe
It?" Inquired Logan. "C.ive me your
pen."
It wns the only one the clerk-had,
so he couldn't spare It for the test.
However, I.npm could not pass the
physical examination. Tt was fnnnd
that his peculiar diet necessitated op
erations t the close of the circus sea
son, and surgeons said he could not
Maud the strain of long inarches.
Logan was disappointed. "And I
thought I was going to have a chance
to bite the kaiser's mailed fist," he
said as he walked out.
