 AIMEE HARANCUE
Huge Crowds Go to Hear Her, But They COn- tribute Less Than 10 Cents a Person

Boston, Oct 14-UP)-Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton, the California evangelist, faces the prospect of a deficit exceeding $10,- 900 in connection with her Boston soul-saving campaign.

Expenses to date, figured at the rate of $2600 daily. total $10, 400.
 Aimee, who promised Mayor James M. Curley she would donate half her net proceeds to Boston's unemployed. appeared unpertubed today by the realization that the revival doubtless would show no profit.

MANY MAY THINK
 MUSICAL GHOSTS
 ARE VERY ACTIVE
But the Family Vault Has Been Provided With the Means to Have Music at All Times

Washington, Oct 14.-(UP)-f the visitor to Rock Creek hears music proceeding from the family vault of w. B. Hibbs, broker, he need not fear ghosts. The music Is from an automatic phonograph with a dummy rose window for a loud speaker.
 MT Hibbs built his family "Pyra- mid" at cost of S65.000. but when 1t was finished, there seemed to De something lacking. The interior marble, quarried under the sea had a properly aged look. The Gothic tower of the chapel, carved from a solid block of stone. sat squarciy on its base. The colored exterior granite was the proper color. Yet something was needed.
 Music-that was it! So MT Hibps had a music box installed in the tower, with amplifiers concealed behind the rose window. Now the passerby, weary of reading inscrip- tions, may open a little door. push a little button. and listen for 3o minutes to whatever music MY Hibbs sees fit to provide.
