Hospitals are material express

The very fact that so few hos

the idea OF service not profit pre-

They are monuments to unseifsh-

Indianapolis may be proud of it's

boast Of a more notable group.
But even these the insufficient for
the need. Demand for hospital IA

Wanted: Companions for Those
Who Read The Three Hostages

English country estate. All the quiet
of the place could not prevent the
owner from getting mixed up in a
lot Of trouble and mystery.
Sir Richard finally yields to the
demands to dig out Of the unknown,
three people known as hostages who
have mysteriously disappeared.
There is a. guy in this story by
the name Of Medina who moves in
high places. but-will let you get
acquainted with this unique crook.
This crook uses his brains to make
the brains of his victims vanish.
That is all am going TO tell you
Of the story.
When a fellow reads n mystery
story he does It for the mental fun
he can get out of it. Such stories
are really used as sort OF a spring
tonic for the purpose OF qutckening
ones wits and getting his mind off
Of everyday things.
In the terms of the day, "The
Three Hostages" is a withholding OF
a story. Am glad that there isn't
much gun play in It until the last
two chapters. It really is the brain
Of a clever crook working against

Buchan knows how to use a fine
weapon. called suspense. He per-
nits you to be scared half out of
your wits and then by logic gets
you back on sane ground.
Buchan is a clever workman. He
grants every reader the chance to
solve the mystery, but Buchan, by
that quality known as suspense,
causes the reader to change his
opinion at the end Of every chapter.
Three Hostages" Is not cheap
reading. Here is an intelligent and
finished product. Buchan knows
what he can do and he remains the
master Of every situation.

HUMILITY AND
CHARACTER

HILBERT ]. BEvERIDGE, in
IA addressing the American
LII Legion at Rushville yes
terday. slapped intellectual AFRO
gance and hauehtiness in the face.
Humility is the best and most
useful thing in character" he de-
clared. When a man gets the
obsession that he knows 1t all there
is no reasoning with him, no liv-
ing with him."
Probably he is right. A man
arrayed In strident egotism and
self-assertiveness quickly becomes
public nuisance like one who
wears spats or otherwise flies or
at q tangent. But humility needn't
BE carried to excess.
= Doubtless those who have done
the most lasting good have pos
sessed kindness, generosity and
tolerance Of spirit. The intolerant
boys with overweening ego, while
they break. into history's head
lines. are principally responsible
for the mess through whiCa the
world has waded
But for quite some time the
meek have been trying unsuccess-
} fully to inherit the earth. They
are experiencing more or less de-
lay in probating their estate.
Perhaps because they mistake
meelxness for groveling self-abase-
ment.
A man may possess humility
without being a doormat for every
one to walk upon.
True humility does not imply
weakness of intellect. but open
mindedness. willingness to learn.
and respect-if not unstinted admi-
ration-7for the opinions Of others.
1t thus becomes the foundation OF
lofty character. 49,.

Parasites" deals with a current Pic

to talk loosely and gamble under the

The central character is Joan Millett

at that she is good girl, although
she looks like good bad woman.

And here we have the smart

Perhaps the attendance resulted

The meeting closed an eight
