BARRETT New York Prepares to House f 600,000 Veterans. New York.—For the first time since the World war, Fifth avenue will resound to the beat of march ing feet of more than a half million war veterans, amid the blare of martial music. The parade will mark the second day of the Amer ican Legion’s 1937 national conven tion—and this city’s first conclave in Legion history. During the four-day Legion caucus, September 20-23, it is estimated, conservatively, that 600,000 ex-serv ice men plus their wives and chil dren—who are represented in auxil iary units such as the Women’s Aux iliary and the Sons of the American Legion—will attend the meeting. The high lights of the convention will include the opening session Monday, September 20, in Madison Square Garden; the Drum and Bugle corps contest, in which 621 individ ual musical units will compete later at the Polo grounds, and the gigan tic convention parade on Fifth ave nue, Tuesday, September 21.

The press, radio and Legion peri odicals ^re being used by the pro moters to induce the members to defer their vacation to coincide with the Legionnaires’ convention. From the convention offices here reports indicate more than 100 vet erans’ societies and associations plan to hold reunions at the same time. Major-Gen. John F.

One of the outstanding reunions, for color and interest, at the 1937 convention, will be that of the fa mous 40 and 8. Because this re union plays an integral part in the convention proceedings, there is a 40 and 8 committee, of which the chairman is Pelham St. George Bis- sell, president justice of the Munic ipal court. Justice Bissell is chief chemin de fer passe of the 40 and I, and ex- officio of a number of Legion offices. He served with the Seventy-seventh division in France. Simultaneously with the convention is the annual assembly of the Amer ican Legion auxiliary, headed by Mrs. William N. Corwith. present national radio chairman of the or ganization and past president of the New York Department auxiliary. My Neighbor SAYS: Watch out tor the borer that is now attacking iris plants.

He is a member of the Chinese commission of military affairs. After several months’ sojourn in the United States the general, who is here to investigate military affairs, will tour the principal countries of Europe. Accompanying the'general are his wife and small Nathaniel Hawthorne relates a story in his "Great Stone Face" which should be read frequently for its philosophy ( of idealism as «a molding factor in life. In the mountains of New Hampshire, nature "in her mood of majestic pla yfulness, formed on the side of a moun tain by some im-» mense rocks which had been thrown together in a certain position, the features of a human countenance’’—the great stone face. According to tradition, some day to the little town there would come a man whose face would be the perfect image of the face of stone, and with him he would bring great and abiding bless ings. In one of the mountain homes there lived a boy named Ernest, who, from his early life, accepted the tradition and looked steadfastly for the arrival of this great and good man. Daily, Ernest would gaze for hours at the great stone face, so that he might be able to recognize the man when he arrived. Many men visited the village, but none fully satisfied Ernest. Mr. Gather- gold. representing great wealth, ar rived. "Old Blood and Thunder,’ 1 the symbol of militarism, also came. Other men came, but ell failed to reproduce in identical like ness. the festures of the great stone face. After many years, • poet came to the village, and Ernest felt sure that at last, here was the 'T'HEY’RE an outdoor family— great on hiking, camping, ex ploring and roughing it. So when they built their new home and started in to plan its decorations, they decided to use leaf greens as the color theme for the entire house, because that’s the tone they like best. Their place isn’t big and it’s all on one floor, so there’s a lot to be said for a unified color theme throughout the house. For one thing, :it makes the place seem more spa cious and tranquil. But this house wasn’t to be rustic or camp-ish, not at all. They liked to come home from their outings to a very civil ized establishment with its own in- NEW HEAD OF ELKS Major Charles Spencer Hart of New York was elected Grand Ex alted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks at its con vention in Denver. He succeeds David Scholti of Jacksonville, for mer Florida governor. Mr. Hart, a veteran of the World war,. has had several stories an^ books pub lished and is the former managing editor of the Elks magazine. man who was to save the people from their calamities. But not so, for the poet discovered in the face of Ernest the perfect resemblance for which the people had been wait ing. By gazing daily at the image on the mountain side, Ernest hac unconsciously fashioned his own face after its likeness. The humble mountain boy had become in reality a character strong as the mountain image. His ideals were higher far than those of Mr. Gathergold, or "Old Blood and Thunder." He hac fixed his mind upon the eterna strength of that beloved face. He had inspired his soul with the ideal ism of unchanging values. He him self had become like the face he admired, studied, and adored. In every life there should be a "Great Stone Face’’—a command ing and inspiring ideal. We are mastered by our ideals which may be thoughts, objects, or persons. The currents of many a life have been changed for nobler purposes by the influence of a great book, or a majestic scene in nature, or bet ter still, by contact with a person ality who gives the strength of sin cerity bought with the price of sac rifice for character.

"I’m like the rest of the world—I haven’t much money to spend!" writes a lady who lives in a little white house on a pleasant but un pretentious street. "But I do think it’s awfully important to make my home as attractive as I can and keep it pleasant. Maybe you can help me with my present problems. I’m hoping to do things to my bed room on a miniature appropriation. The furniture is maple—g o o d enough, though not up to any fancy decorative scheme. We’re buying a new rug and planning to have the room repapered. I’ll get new spread, curtains and lamps if pos sible. Since we use this room a lot for sitting—it’s large for a bedroom —we keep two old easy chain hen. "These I’d like to slip-cover so they would add rather than detract from the effect of the room. But as the room Is used by both my husband and myself, I don’t want it to be too feminine. Anything you suggest will be appreciated and fol lowed out if it’s not too expensive. With maple furniture, we’d like yellow wall paper with little sprigs or dots in whits, then brown and whit* checked gingham for spread and curtains.
