PAGE EIGHT President's Address, Parades, Dog Show Feature Legion Meet <By The American Legion News Service) OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 24.—Any thing from the dignity of a uresi dential address to the hilarity of a hound dog show may be enjoyed by visitors to the national convention es The American Legion at Ohama October 5 to 9. Five great parades, each vying with the others in interest and un osual features, are a part of the program. The grand parade with 100,000 marching Legionnaires will take place on Tuesday morning. Tliis spectacle will be reviewed by President Coolidge. Tlie $75,000 lecetrical parade of Ak-Sar-Ben, booster organiza tion of Omaha, will be seen on Wednesday 7 night. The ideas em bodied in the constitution of The American Legion will be portrayed by myraids of lights on the electri cal floats. A great military parade, includ ing captured German and Austrian war materials, i nwhich every avail able body of troops in the Seventh Army Corps area will march, will be held on Thursday. This parade will be followed in the evening by the parade of the funsters of The Amer ican Legion, the Forty and Fighters The furious frolic of the 40 and 8 initiation ceremoniese will follow fast upon the parade. The most unique and probably 1 the most mirthful of all the paardes will be staged on Thursday by the Forty and Eighters of Colorado when they put on their “First An nual Mutt Dog Parade and Show."

Swift airplanes will lay a smoke screen five miles in length. Three big caravans of real cow boys from the real cow ranges will put on a real back-breakin’, buull tossin,’ “eardown” rodeo, in which 500 horses and from three to four hundred cowboys and cowgirls will take part. A $15,000 night display of fire works, occupying 300 men an entire evening to set off, is a brilliant fea ture of the convention. Six night performances and two matinees of the great war play, “What Price Glory,” will show in Omaha with the original cast during the convention.
