LEGION TONIGHT ID EJECT DELEGATES
 TO STATE MEETING

One of the most important meet ings of the year will be held by Frank Luke, IT,, post of the American Le- zion at American Legion headquar- ters, 364 North Seventh avenue, at s o'clock this evening, the feature of the meeting being the election of II delegates to the state convention of the legion at Prescott on Aug. s. g and 10.
 Interest in the meeting and in the selection of delegates centers in the effort which is being made to make an Arizona man a candidate before the national convention this year for the position of national commander. In furtherance of this effort an &C., tive campaign has been instituted by legionnaires in behalf of Col. E. Power Conway, one of the most prominent members of the organiza- ton in the state, whose candidacy
 was endorsed by Frank Luke, Jr., post about six weeks ago and who has been assured of the almost solid support of the entire body of legion naires in Arizona.
 Colonel Conway's fitness for the position comes not only from his in-
 timare knowledge of the American Legion and his acquaintanceships
 with its members throughout the
 state, but from his national friend
 ships and the impression made by
 him. on the last national convention
 when numbers of the delegates de-
 sired to offer his name for nationa
 commander on the floor. The hospi- talization plans of the legion. and tho fact that these plans must come tc
 their fullest fruition in Arizona, be- cause of the exceptional climatic con nth cc,r h. the state in general and Frank Luke Jr., post, in particular, have takel up this opportunity to make an active campaign for him.
 During the great war Colonel Con way, who was in the engineerins corps and who was also a member o the general staff. was in charge c
 road making on all avenues of com munications to the front, and say | active fighting in several sectors During his service in France he wa
 advanced from the rank of captain t | that of colonel. Returned to tn United States. he immediately took constructive interest in the America Legion, especially in Arizona, and ha | been a factor in all its work, both il the state and nationally.
 Among other candidates for the en 1 dorsement as national commando I has been Col. John c. Greenway O Warren, who has withdrawn from tn race, however, and who has endorse l the candidacy of Colonel Conwa,
 both in conversation and in his cor respondence. With the endorsement
 of the local post of the Americal Legion, which was made unanimous and the active interest that has bee,
 taken in his campaign throughout tn state if is believed that in ColOne Conway Arizona will have a candi date for the position of national com mander who has more than a fightin chance of winning the election at tn
 national convention at Kansas Git in October.
 Other matters which will engros | the attention of the delegates to tn state convention are the soldier bonu 1 bill and the election of a state com mander. a post now held by Ber l Clingen of Phoenix.

THE MIRACULOUs CRUOIFtx

From "fn the Wake of the Friars'
 by Hazel c. Taylor, in Asia Maga
 zine.
 The atmosphere that hangs about the old church of Binondo, a district of Manila, is particularly rich in leg end. The church of Binondo. which is dedicated to the Virgin of the Ro-
 sary, owes its origin to the miracle of the crucifix and the spring.
 A narrow, crooked, dirty, ill-smell- ing street, called Santo Cristo, now traverses the place where the spring once. fed a public well in a vast meadow. From this well the Chinese | merchants who lived near by ob- tained water. One day, some cen turtles ago, a Christian Chinaman dropped his bamboo bucket into the well but was unable to draw it forth again. Something obstructed the mouth. After several futile attempts to draw up the bucket he made an investigation. He could hardly be- lieve his eyes Wshat he had sup posed to be a forked twig blocking the passage of the bucket proved to be a holy crucifix, about one foot in length, just the width of the well! In great consternation and excite ment he took the sacred object to the priest of the Binondo church, which was then a small bamboo chapel. The good friar interpreted the miracle IL was a divine message that hand some chuch should be built in Bi- nondo. And straightway when the Christian people of Binondo, great many of whom were Chinese, heard of the miracle, they began the cree ton of the present church. In glass case above one of the side al tars was placed the miraculous cruci- fix, which is believed to increase Tn size as time passes. Yet no one dares measure it. lest some great misfor- tune befall. The people of the dis trict also affirm that the image upon the crucifix has shown it's dislike for rich hermano mayor (the man chosen to be in charge of a church procession at the time of a fiesta)- by two significant occurrences. Once for a great procession in which the
 marvellous crucifix was to be car ried, a hermano mayor was chosen who was the richest man in the To- eality. This man, in his eagerness to make the procession an ostentatious display, ordered all the streets through which the procession was to pass to be carpeted with rich and costly rugs. Just at the moment the sacred crucifix was to enter upon the extravagantly carpeted way a great, typhoon swept from the sea, destroy ing all the sumptuous preparations When the next procession was planned, the people. fearing the wrath of the sacred image. chose for the hermano mayor the poorest man
 of the parish, who was too poor in-. deed to provide musicians for the oc- casion. The procession, started with out music. seemed to drag lifelessly. Just as the image was to join the pageant, however, all the arches dec orating the street miraculously be- came filled with millions of crickets whose loud. rhythmic chipping served as music and made the procession a great success.

THE QUALITY OF EXPORT COAL

l From the Mining Congress Journal 1 Reports to the commerce depart ment emphasize the need of giving attention to 8 matter upon which the development of our export coal trade depends, that is, to the quality of the l coal exported. It is known that some of the operators have given thought to grading and classification, and that they believe along with Secretary of Commerce Hoover that the time for 1 taking definite action has arrived. According to commerce department reports American exporters have lost their supremacy in the Swedish markets through repeated deliveries of coal Inferior to the samples upon which the sales were made. Whether breakage and pulverization was caused in transportation, or whether inferior grades were shipped by lr- responsible in-and-outers whose 1n- tention was only to ship during peak market, the effect has been the same, namely, considerable adverse publicity and a curtailment in the volume of orders for American coal.
 Various means have been suggested for removing the cause of complaint. One is that the right of inspection before payment be granted; another. that reliable agents of American firms be appointed for the express purpose of regatning the confidence of their foreign customers which has been lost. Another is that the ex-
 porting concerns agree upon methods of grading and maintaining joint inspection bureau with authority to issue certificates of guarantee. The latter method Is similar to the sys- tenn followed by the grain exporterss It is not the purpose of this article to say what method should be adopted, but rather to call attention
 to the fact that the department of ccmmerce has thrown out broad hints that unless the exporters themselves adopt a set of rules and regulations goterning export shipments the gov ernment is liable to step in and do lit for them. Of all the things con ceiyable, this would be the most un- desirable. for if there is anything the coal industry does not want, and does not need, it is more government regulation
 At the recent conference between Secretary Hoover and mining oper- ators, appointment of committee
 was authorized, charged with the duty of looking into the ocean freight
 Situation. Operators who oppose fur ther government meddling in their business should, and undoubtedly will, give the committee the fullest
 possible measure of support and CO.,

,x LAMEs |. MONTAGUE

It Is night Eight-fort-thres to be exact. The grandfather's clock to the left of the Victorian mantei establishes that, TO nicety .
 On the roccoco table Is a decanter and glasses. Two of them. Already we suspect we are In home Of wealth and fashion. This suspicion is confirmed by the arrival of a par Tor maid. She wears a cap. an all most imperceptible apron. She is trim.
 As she sets a siphon beside the de- canter. we watch a glimpse of the chief figure in the scene. It steps out from behind a lamp shade. It Is very ornate lampshade, denoting greater wealth than we supposed. It or he, as we are now permitted to say, since we have seen him, is man -large-florid-clo ose-cropped mous' tache-expression a singular mixture of stark power, fondness for children, business acumen, sympathy with suf- fering, cold, calculating grasp of great affairs and slavish attachment to his young daughter.
 We know him now for what he is. None but a movie millionaire could be all of these things at once, and look them.
 But why is he here? Primarily to get a drink. We know that because he takes one. Three fingers. Ob viousIy ne has confidence in his boot logger.
 He takes the drink, we observe from his altered expression. to steady his nerves. For he has lost vast sum on the stock exchange today. h. deed he fears that the tragic tape may tell him that he has lost control of Peruvian Hair Oil. Even now il Is writhing like the venomous tongue of still more venomous serpent from the naw of the ticker. Ticker" you inquire. and quite justifiably. "Tickers, you asseverate do not supply quotations after the exchange closes"
