than that. But for the moment let us speak
of the literal and diarial account, from her
own standpoint OF ailment and treatment that
this girl submits for advantage. Steadily
she examines her own mind, her own feelings
toward herself first, and then toward her aSSo-
ciates within the institution. Here are exact
reproductions Of meetings with physician or
nurse of the questions that were submitted to
her for consideration and answer OF the daily
regimen-sleep bath, food, clothing, examina-
tons that sound something like the school
brand of that exercise. Indeed, one wonders
at the minute accuracy of this recital. Won
ders till he comes upon the notice that, from
the beginning this girl, writer to start with,
merely followed the habit Of setting down
things. Another aspect Of this story is as re-
markable as the purely personal turn which 1t
takes. That is the illuminating survey Of the
institution as whole that the book projects.
The inmates, naturally, come in for personal
cloSe-upS But it Is the general spirit of the
place, Its lack OF any stamp Of the unusual,
the bizarre, the repellant externals that we, in
our minds, assign to institutions Of this class
There Is no posing here No melodramaticS.
As plain recital as If the girl were going TO
market and thought she'd like to tell us about
it. To be sure, there are many marks Of the
writer here good marks Why did she open
up this personal thing that almost any one in
the world would have hidden deep? Chiefly,
think, because she has that rare gift OF
wanting to help, Of being willing to suffer
bit In her own personal vanity If, by so doing,
she can be Of aid to someone else in actual
distress and deeply bewildered in it. This
spirit, you can see, involves not only the needy
individual, but 1t covers as well the projection
OF new view Of the best Of these hospitals, IN
their personnel and In their general attractions
and benefits for the mentally ailing folks that
may profit by them Printed by the Yale

FOLLOW THRU' BEGINS SUNDAY
 AT COLISEUM
Nancy Carroll and Charles Rogers Co-star in Fine
 Feature

Follow Thru" starring Nancy Carroll and Charles Rogers, which begins showing tomorrow night at the Coliseum theatre, was a senSa- tional Broadway stage success, last ing more than year, before Para mount decided to give it to the world in an all-Technicolor moving picture production.
 With Nancy Carroll, MT. Rogess and Laurence Schwab, of the stage famous partnership of Schwab and Mandel, directing, Paramount has made an exuberant romantic com- edy filled with love, excitement, fun and foolishness, and a group of song hits that are as popular as were those of the original produc- ton.
 Notable Song Hits
 Button Up Your Overcoat," was one of Follow Thru's" original mu- sical hits, and it's in the picture together with other highlights. of the Broadway success, such as Zel- ma ONeal, the Varsity Drag" girl and Jack Haley, the stage come dian.
 Pretty Glenna Collett, champion woman golfer, christened the Fair est of the fairways" by an adoring sport loving public, was the inspira- ton for Follow Thru" according to Laurence Schwab, the co-writer, co-director, co-producer of the stage sensation, who directed the -Technicolor movie joy-mit
 Origin of Idea
 The idea for the story struck Schwab when a picture of Miss Collett in the rotogravure section of a newspaper caught his eye. The picture showed the graceful cham pion demonstrating the follow through of her terrific drive. Thus Follow Thru" was born.
 Tn Paramount's all-Technicolor production, Nancy Carroll, in the leading feminine role, has ambi- tions to become a champion woman golfer and also to make Charles Rogers, the club professional, her husband.
 Rival In Love Ways
 Her rival on the fairways, is hei rival in the love ways, and an en- trancing, exhilarating golf-love match ensues to prove who's who Zelma ONeal and Jack Haley have the comedy love roles, with Flu gene Palette as the new-rich clut member in a fine characterization

CAPITOL SUNDAY
 GIVES Z SHOWS
 FOR ONE PRICE
Dough Boys Will Be Of- fered for Last Times
 This Evening

With Dough Boys" starring Bus ter Keaton, showing for the last times tonight, a double feature program-two notable plays for one admission--has been arranged for presentation at the Capitol the- atre tomorrow, the first offering being at the matinee in the after noon
 The two feature plays on the bil beginning tomorrow are Kept Illus bands" with Dorothy Mackaill and Joel McCrea in the leading roles, and "The Sea Bat" with Raquel Torres, Charles Bickford, Nils As ther and George F. Marion in the principal part.
 Two Questions Arise
 In Kept Husbands,' two ques- tions arise They are:
 First: "Is there any good reason why a woman should not propose marriage to a man?'
 Second: Should man allow his wife to pay the bills?"
 In fact, the positions constitute the main theme of this emotional drama.
 The supporting cast includes Cla- "a Kimball Young, Bryant Wash burn, Robert McWade, Florence Roberts, Mary Carr, and Freeman Wood.
 Sponge-Diving Center
 'The Sea Bat" is unique in the respect that it was. filmed on the southern coast of Mexico in the seaport of Mazalan, it being the first time that the sponge-diving center has been used as the locale for a motion picture. According to Director Wesley Ruggles, this sport was chosen because of it's scenic beauty as well as the fact that the waters in it's vicinity are populated by the sea ray or bat which has an important role in the narrative.
 The plot deals with the adven- lures of an escaped convict who comes to the native village in the guise of a clergyman and becomes involved in the affairs of the sponge diving inhabitants.

Texas HospitalNo,o Has
 Endowment Of S25 ,OOO,O 900

GALVESTON, Texas, June 6.-- When the S50O00O Outpatient clini, of John Sealy hospital recently was completed and opened without 50 much as an informal ceremony, aa- other chapter was written in the history of one of Americas wealth. lest yet least publicized medican in- stitutions.
 Few hospitals in the country ea- joy a larger endowment than John Sealy. The donor for whom it is named, upon his death in 1926, be- queathed to it practically his en- tire estate-$10,0000 900 in cash, lands and securities.
 Increase of values and discovery of oil on some of the properties have raised present conservative estimates of the endowment to $25,- 100000 with potential value which may reach twice that figure.
 The Sealy-Smith foundation, un- der which the hospital operates, is rated one of the coming institu4 tions of it's kind, Because of it's resources and character it promise5 to share in national leadership.
 Standing on the site where tho pirate Jean Lafitte once held sway over the city, John Sealy hospital gives as freely as Lafitte took. By order of the founder, applicants for treatment who say they are un- able to pay are taken at their wordl
 And in harmony with an unwrit- ] ten law handed down from the foundation of the hospital in 1889, there is "No publicity; let it's min istrations tell the story"

SPENGLER NINE
ENDS SCHEDULE

With a 6-to-1 victory over the
Brentwood Market A. c., the
Spengler Post nine completed its
schedule and captured the cham
pionship of Class A, Division 2.
The Spengler team, managed by
James H. Hayre, is the first team
in the Times Junior Baseball
League to complete its schedule.
It finishes with the excellent
record of IA wins and no losses.
Two other teams in the divi-
sion, Fairlawn Juniors and the
Virginia A. c., have been dropped
for two successive forfeits, end
ing competition in the division,
since the Brentwood team is the
only one left, except the Spengler
outfit.

The Wonder Bread Midgets
and the National Pale Drys
played only one game of their
scheduled double-header, the for
mer winning, 13 to 0. Fuller,
who shut out the Park Lane Mid
gets week before, duplicated his
feat and limited the Pale Drys
to three safeties. Butcher, for
the Wonders, was the batting
star, collecting five hits in five
times at bat, one for double.
The Senators, in Class c,
Division 1-2, defeated the Joe
Judges. 6 to S, in hair.raiSing
game. The. Judges led through
the fourth and even tied UP the
contest in the eighth, only to
be nOsed out in the last frame.
The Senators were outhit, II to
9. while Long, for the Senators,
granted nine bases on balls. The
Senators. however, made their
hits count, and that gave them
the victory.
Leading, 10 to S. at the end Of
the fifth inning, the Columbian
Midgets decided that they had
played long enough and quit.
Umpire BasSin ordered play re-
sumed and. when the Columbians
failed to respond, awarded the
contest to the Park Lane

Former Margaret Letter Rises
to Defend Her Home Town;
BIames Political Corruption

LONDON, July 20 0.N.SO.-It
has been left to a Chicago.born
British peeress to tell the Eng.
lish the truth about Chicago and
make them realize the Windy
City is not run by AL Capone and
other gangland kings.
Margaret. Countess of Suffolk,
youngest daughter of the late
Levi z. Letter, of Chicago, and
mother Of the 25-year-old present
Duke Of Suffolk, arrived in Lon.
don from a lengthy visit to her
native city and promptly in
formed British reporters that 90
per cent of this gangland stuff
is the bunk. She says:
Beauty's Spot
"Think of a beautiful city
without hOldups or any other
terrOrs-and that Is Chicago in
real life.
Chicago is the most Sian
dered city in the world. Chi.
cagO crime stories are all very
well. They make passably good
reading.
But Chicago itself is no
worse than any other city.
There is no more crime there,
1 believe, than in any other
metropolis. Chicago is a per-
fectIy normal city. 1t has its
rough side, of course, but peO-
pie who don't want to come
in contact with anything like
that need not go near it.
Hits at London
"There are parts of London
you don't visit alone from
choice.
"At present, Chicago is well
on the way to becoming the
most wonderful city in the
world. Its past troubles have
been largely political. but now
/ think those troubles are over
with the advent Of the new
regime"
The countess concluded hel
little lecture with the following
remark:
Forget for once those stories
Of beer barOnS and rum rum
ners; get out of your head
those ideas Of cracking ma
chine guns and barking re.
volvers. Imagine instead a beau
tifully clean city, with white,
graceful SkyScraperS. Think of
parks, Of gardens and avenues,
and nice suburban houses. That
is the real Chicago"
