American Legion to Hold "
Record Meeting in Fall
THE GREAT
STONE FACE
By
LEONARD A. 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.
Twentieth Anniversary.
The forthcoming annual gathering
is planned to eclipse by far all its
previous efforts and officials of
the American Legion describe the

1937 affair as "the largest ever held
on earth by any organization.’’
This year’s great convention,
marking the twentieth anniversary
of America’s entry into the World
war, will have as its slogan, "Peace
through preparedness.’’ In a tri-
denominational religious and patri
otic service, a thanksgiving for
peace since the World war will be
offered.
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. O’Ryan,
New York’s ex-police commission
er, will head the reunions commit

40 and 8 Reunion.
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.

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

they built their new home and

they decided to use leaf greens as
the color theme for the entire house,

best. Their place isn’t big and it’s

be said for a unified color theme

a veteran of the World war,. has

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
