This is the season of the year when
the Philippines become the playground
for the entire orient. 1t is carnival
season in Manila.
In 1908 the first Philippine carnival
was held on historic Wallace Field in
Manila in February, when the climate
of the islands is at it's best, and each
succeeding year there has been a larg-
er and more elaborate celebration.
The 1920, or Victory Carnival, will be
the greatest event Of its sort ever held
anywhere in the Far East

The way to all things at Ginling lies
through the moon door And through
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day, the 70
Chinese maidens of the "gung-gwan."
The moon door at Ginling is round
as the full moon, whence it has it's
name. And the Chinese maiden, as
she steps over its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Sometimes across the court yard Is
another moon door and beyond it, like
smaller concentric circle, still an
other, leading on through that Chinese
puzzle of house, the "gung- gwan" or
official residence at Marking, China,
which is now the home of Ginning Col
lege for Chinese girls-one of the
three women's colleges in all China.
The moon door is but single fea-
ture of the old place Once inside the
high stone walls that enclose it one is
lost in a maze of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole is China, old China and
new. The moon doors and the archi-
lecture as whole lend the dignity
and the greatness of old China. But

There are hundreds Of thousands of
acres of land lying idle in the Philip
pines, which have a greater area of
fertile land than Japan-this in spite
of the fact that the population of the
Philippines is 100000 while that of
Japan is around 100000. There is
every reason TO believe that some day
the Philippines will have a population
as large as that of Japan today. The

themselves for the responsibility of

American
By Capt. G. w. R. Hoy

Since this post started its campaign
for new members number of ques-
tions have been asked by ex-service
men. The three questions most fire.
quently asked are: "What does the
American Legion stand for?" what
are the national and state organizations
doing?" "What is this post doing?"
The best answer we can give to those
questions now is: Come out to the
meetings of the post and give US a
chance to tell you what is being done
We will attempt to answer those ques-
tions at various times in this column.
but we can give you more detailed in
formation at once if you will come to
the meetings of the post.
The Legion stands for one hundred
per cent Americans m and is taking act
i've steps to promote it. Another thing
that the organization exists for is to
look after the best interests of the ex-
service man and the community. If
you will keep in close touch with us you
will learn how these things are being
done.
Plans are now well under way to Sc.
