LEGION PLANS ARE OUT LINED Most Ambitious Program Yet Devised Is Told Before Salem Chamber The plans of the American le gion for Oregon's" greatest state convention yet to be held in the w.tnrv nf the organization, werel outlined Monday noon before thel chamber or commerce m a met ing at which the members of the legion's commission of 10 were special guests "of the business men. Prefacing the introduction of members of the commission who explained the convention to the business men, Carl Gabrielson de claredjhat it was the policy of the legion to take a more active part in community affairs than ever before with the view of adding this work to the objective now well accomplished with the legion that of providing for its own needy members. "We want as an Oregon post to help sell the idea that California is a land south of Oregon rather than that Oregon is north of California," Gabrielson declared. Busy Three Days Outlined By Mason Three busy days or convention activity including such special features as a barbecue, two polo games, a drum corps competition including 15 corps throughout the state, were outlined by "Fod" Mal- son In his talk to the chamber. One of the features of the meet- ins: will be a large parade to oe stared Saturday afternoon. Every lesion member attending tne con vention will take part in the pa rade while all the drum corps as well as some commercial floats will also be entered in this event "We have chosen as a slogan for the convention, our ooast, some host," " said Maison, "and we are going to do everything possi ble to make good this slogan. $300,000 Will Be Soent Here. Estimate C. B. McCullougn expiainea what the convention will mean in financial return to Salem. With an estimated attendance of 20,- 000 people, each of whom will ex pend $15, an expenditure of $300,- 000 during the week of the con vention is assured, said McCul lough. He urged liberal support of the convention by all business firms, not only by backing the le gion's requested guarantee but also by assistance in printed and wora-of-mouth advertising. Judge Brazier Small outlined the legion's plan of backing the $10,000 budget required for stag ing .the convention. While con ventions in the past have been self-supporting and Salem's bids fair to be the same way, it is yet required that a guarantee of all expenses be made before the con clave, Small said. He urged that Salem business men - underwrite the convention for at least $25, 000 to show the state how solidly the community was back of the meeting. Other members of the commis sion introduced were Frank M. Moore, publicity; L. P. Campbell, entertainment; H. E. (Dave) Shade, drum corps; J. J. Elliott, housing, and Willis E. Vincent, registratin.

Ralph must have said that. Her gray eyes widened, the am ber flecks in the gray shone like sunlight through deep water. Her face glowed, the dimple at the cor ner of her mouth flickered. "I'm mighty glad you could come!" she tobreathed. She wanted to be nice, ever so nice, to Ralph's friend who knew Ralph loved her, who knew she was . .Ralph's girl . And Allan "good old Al!" who had never owned a car, but a rattling old flivver the summer he was 16, and was used to work ing Sundays, trying to get ahead. to pay off the debts . .was it any wonder that this was a red letter day for him? Ralph's car and Ralph's girl. He'd been learning about Ralph's girls ever since their freshman year at college. Dorothy and Gwen and Ha, and Alice, and the brown- eyed one that went into the mov ies, nice girls all. of them, for Ralph bad taste, and they all fell for him. No wonder. A fellow like Ralph! But it didn't mean any thing, it never had unless it was the honey-colored Crystal . sometimes he thought he might be serious about her . .but this wasn't the Crystal one . How was he to know that this was something different? He stole another look at the flower-like Daphne. He liked the soft black cloud of her hair, her candid black fringed eyes, her tip tilted nose, her frank red mouth. And she was so gentle and nat ural. So different from the others . "Ralph's a prince!" he mur mured, half to himself. "Mmm " Daphne hadn't even heard what he said. Her thoughts were far away. Content settled on them both He pulled off his cap and the wind ruffled his hair until it stood up in a short, shaggy brown stubble, like an Airedale's hair. He sang, under his breath, a little out of key. When they passed a flock of wild geese winging their way in wedge-shaped formation far out to sea he shouted "Gee whiz look at them aren't they great?" She nodded, faintly smiling. "Isn't he the big kid?" A real af fection for the plain-looking stranger with the twinkling blue eyes and, the rough, funny hair, welled in her heart. "If I had a brother." she thought, "I'd like him to be Uke that." And again, "When Ralph and I are married I'm going to invited him to our house, lots. I wonder if he'd like Miss Yardley? Of course, she isn't pretty, but she's awfully nice." It occurred to her that he could tell her many things about Ralph, things she longed to know. About the sort of little boy he used to be, about his football dayss when she used, to save -bis pictures and nev er dreamed she'd ever really know him. i "You've known Ralph for ages, haven't you?" she asked. pains Too much uric acid.

He's my best friend." "And did you were yon on the team at Stanford too?" A shadow passed over his thin face. "No, I wasn't." Daphne could have bitten off her tongue. What a eraxy Ques tion! Of course poor Allan Win ters couldn't have been on the team with Ralph, he wasn't nearly husky enough. "I think Ralph was always kind of an ideal to me," he admitted. He was so everything I wasn't You know, big and strong, and all the girls so crazy about him." She drew a long breath at that. but she might have known it . . Crystal for Instance . .

He stuck to me ail through. I can never make it up to him . . oh, I'm paying It back of course, and worked all I could " He saw her eyes shining, her whole face illumined. She was hanging on his words. "It isn't quite paid yet-," he finished lamely. Her small, white face turned scarlet . .she'd let this perfect stranger see that she loved Ralph She twisted her hands in her lap, gulped and said, the first thing that came into her tortured head: "I think it's perfectly wonderful for a boy to do that to work his way through that way and pay it oack so quick and " It was his turn to color.

A few houses, vine covered and dusty, sleepy in the s . A few dogs playing in the road. The long line or beach. A few children on the sands, a few fishermen in the surf. He pointed up the hill. "There's the Greelys' place!" If she had looked into his eyes then she might have read them. She might have seen the beginning of Allan Winter's love. But Daphne was lookinr no the hill at the green-shuttered, weath er-stained house, thinking, "Isn't it sweet? Oh, if Ralph were only nere to see it, too!" (To Be Contfnued.)
