The custom Of playing lively rather

Handwriting
And Mans Character.
Daily Mail, London.-Mr. Justice Eve
| In a Chancery Court case said that he
| had always found that those whose
handwriting is legible are honest and
agreeable people. His sentiment will
| be warmly echoed at least by every
printer, who has sought to give the
written word more durable shape. But
| 1t Is to be hoped for the sake Of the
men of letters that the implied corol-
larry must not be taken Is too binding,

considered lacking, both in honesty
and agreeableness, there would be few
good fellows in literature.

made the pilgrimage from the capital
to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guada-

Hospital to Be Run
On University Plan
Prom the Canton Daily News.

There are 10 universities in the
United States with endowments of more
than twenty million dollars. There are
only 10 hospitals with endowments OF
more than two million dollars. The
richest university has an eighty million
dollar endowment. The richest hos
pital has one-eighth as much.
Rich and poor go to the best univer-
sity and find that half their tuition
there paid for them by endowment. It
has been fashionable for men OF wealth
to bequeath large sums to enable youth,
however prosperous, to receive an edu-
cation at less than half its cost. The
very poor can have free treatment at
hospitals and the very rich can easily
pay their way In between are the
middle group whose education Is half
paid for by endowment-if not wholly
paid for by taxation-but whose hos
pital bills make health an unobtainable
luxury.
The average cost of hospital service is
now about seven dollars day. Private
nursing twenty-four hours a day now
costs up TO twenty dollars day.

BUDDY POPPY SALE
TO BEGIN MAY e
Veterans of Foreign Wars
Win Raise Orphans
Home Money.

Endorsed by President Hoover and by
State and municipal officials throughout
the country the annual Buddy Poppy
drive of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
will be launched nationally on May %
and will continue through May 20. with
workers bent on raising enough money
to maintain the orphans home of the
organization for another year and to
finance relief activities.
Teams Of women canvassers were
being organized in the District for the
this year by ex-service men In the
Veterans Bureau Hospital at North
Port, Long Island.
1.-THE campaign" the President wrote
to the commander in-chief Of the
organization, "is fitting symbol Of the
sacrifice Of those who died in the
service of our country, and should re-
mind us of the obligations and sacrifice
demanded Of all good citizens in time
"The fact that the funds derived
therefrom are being used for the MAIN
tenance of national home for widows
and orphans of deceased veterans and
other relief. including the fact that the
manufacture of these peoples gives en-
ployment to ex-service men, adds to
the worthiness Of the cause. 7 am glad
to give my hearty Endorsement to this
worthy enterprise.
The veterans who make the peoples
will be paid Tor their time. Leaders of
the organization pointed out that much
relief work is done locally in addition
to the contribution to the orphans
home, and that yearly report of this
work is submitted to the District
Commissioners.
