BOSTON PREPARES
 TO GREET 100000
From Rome to
 Honolulu Head for Convention

Boston, Oct. 1 CP)-The 1880 con- vention of the American Legion gets under way here next month with not less than 100000 men and women expected.
 The convention. itself, will last only four days, Monday, October 6. to Thursday October g, inclusive but the entertainment program starts Saturday, October 4, and goes clear through to Saturday, October II.
 The streets of modern Boston. once lanes and cowpaths of colonial days, made historic by a dozen stir ring episodes, will echo to the tramp of 75,000 marchers. Two presidents and scores of dis tnguished guests will come. Presi- dent Hoover and former President Coolidge will appear side by side on the platform and. this, in itself will be historic since, except at inaug- urations, appearances of the Presi- dent with a former chief executive have been comparatively rare. Practically all of the 10,500 posts from Rome to Honolulu will be rep resented, as will 1900 units of the auxiliary.
 The convention corporation work ing through 143 committees and sub- committees, with $500 mem bers has been maturing it's plans since last February and, for once, finances have not been lacking.
 The state made s5O,Ooo available, the city s25,O00, Boston merchants S50,000 while nearly s50,000 was raised from concessionaires Plans for caring the anticipated influx of visitors formed one of the most complicated problems but here is how the housing committee arranged it.:
 12,000 in Boston hotels. 1S,0OO on Pullman trains in four railroad "cities"
 7,5O0 to 5000 on ships in the har- Dor.
 30,O0o in halls and armories for which the army has furnished cots.

 But the quietness and calm did rot account for the feel of the place. 1 That, she understood, must be psychic reaction from some kin, walls. Whatever it was, it soothed her nerves and stilled any lingering urge for haste. Haste? She smiled to herself. Here was infinity. Her guide led her across a hall where statue of the Buddha loomed dimly in the twilight, and ur flight of stairs, their broad, low treads worn sa atin-s smooth. On this upper floor they stopped at a door of lockwood, and the monk knocked upon it with an excess of humility which warned Dagger she had reached the goal of her desire. A voice responded from within, a voice which made her think of the tinkle of silvery bells, inexpressibly remote. The monk stood back with gesture inviting her to enter.
 THERE IS NO DEATH AS the door swung to behind her, Dagger caught her breath and snatched a quick survey of the high-roofed chamber seeking the owner of that silvery voice.
 In the farthest corner, small heap of rugs and garments crowned a low divan. From this heap the voice spoke again:
 You are welcome, my daughter"
 Dagger was startled It was al- most incredible that life could ex- ist in that shaggy mass; but, peer ing closer, she perceived a pair of bright, friendly eyes and a small, wizened face.
 "Are-are you Ghulam Buk?" she asked.
 ; Yes. Will you sit?"
 A hand that was no more than a claw motioned toward a stool by the divan, and obeying the implied command, she was conscious of a
  sensation of bewilderment that any creature could give such an impress sion of extreme age. The man on the divan was shrunken to the di- mensions of child: his very fea- lures were in miniature Perhaps some Of her bewilderment was mlr- | rored in her face, for Ghulam Bulk chuckled dryly.
 You, my daughter, who have just budded into youth, marvel that so ancient a body as this should retain the spark of vitality. Let me call to your attention the say ing of Lao Tze, The vase molded out of clay would be useless but for the empty space left for it's contents; this shows that however beneficial the material may be to us without the immaterial it would be useless My vase, you see, still fulfills q purpose"

 Crossing the pavement he jerked at a rope hanging from a hole in the lintel, and a bell changed harsh ly within. Immediately a panel slid back in the gateway, and a dark lined face peered out at them. Ram Das bowed very low-he seemed to retain respect for holy people, whatever he thought of their ideas and spofe in a low tone. The monk cut him off at once, sternly emphatic: and when Ram Das would lave continued, calculated one short phrase, and started to close the panel. Dagger, herself, stepped forward.
 "I am Blaine Towards friend" she said quickly in English, without thinking how ridiculous it was to expect the monk to understand her And indeed. he did not; but he de- layed in closing the panel, and cast a curious glance over her flushed features.
 He say why you want to see Ghulam Bulk. Ghulam Bulk varree holy man, not have time for women"
 "Tell him-here. let me write it down on piece of paper"
 And she scribbled on the back of an envelope:
 For Ghulam Bulk: Blaine How ard used to talk to me of you. May I not talk with you of him? I am in trouble for lack of wisdom. Alex ardria Vaneering."
 The monk accepted it from her, turning it in his hand not suspi- ciously, but as if in doubt. He looked at her again, nodded his head, and parked a sentence at the guide, who rubbed his hands to- gether unctuously as the panel clicked shut.
 Priest say: please you wait, Madame. He take paper to Ghulam Bulk"
 Dagger climbed back into the car with feeling of entire relief. A voice out of nothingness had whis- peFeu III Her edI. 1Ou Sudll Sut- ceed" And so it was. Half an hour passed. and the gate itself creaked open. The monk reappeared, lowing low, hands folded in the wide sleeves of his yellow robe.

 He say: please you come with him. Madame. Your servant" he touched his chest -''unfortunately not to go. Ghulam Bulk speaks English
 If Dagger had known India better she would have been surprised by the cleanliness of the halls and cor riders she traversed; but she did not have to know India to apprc- clate the atmosphere of peace which enwrapped her so soon as she had crossed the monastery s threshold. The place was unbeliev- ably quiet. The occasional monks she encountered moved like spec tres rather than men, their bare

Season at Old Point

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, June z.
Never has there been a more glorious
June at Old Point than the present
month is proving itself. At Fort Mon
roe magnificent magnolia trees, now
covered with great pearl white blooms
Of q size and fragrance seldom equaled,
extend In long avenues against a back
ground of varied hued flowers adorn-
ing the small grounds attached to the
interesting old Colonial houses forming
the officers residences, both official and
private, while on the extreme point of
the historic old peninsula the Colonial
parterre of the Chamberlin- Vanderbilt
stretches In an artistic riot of gorgeous
ly colored flowers, amid hedged-in
Inazes and brick walls, reaching from
the foundations of the hotel to the
water edge. Adding to the charm of
the scene, Old Point Is now proving the
mecca of private yachts from many
waters. Among those anchored off the
Chamberlin-Vanderb pier during the
week end were the Cleopatra II of Mr.
c. P. Curtis of Philadelphia, the Coronet
of Mr.. Philip Gosler of New York, and
the equally notable yachts of Mr.. A. E
Sloan, jr., of New York and of Mr.
Horace Z. Dodge of Detroit
A considerable amount of entertain
ing is going on among the members of
the three important social units of
Langley Field, Fort Monroe and the
Chamberlin-Vande which con-
tribute equally to the social life of the
peninsula. Among those entertaining
at dinner recently at the Chamberlain
Vanderbilt were Mai. and Mrs. James
Macmillan of Fort Monroe, whose
guests included Maj and Mrs. Thomas
Cook, Maj. and Mrs. Ferdinand Gal
