Indianapolis, Sept. 23-(Bv A.P.)-t
The one far rate for the round trip,!
authorized by all American railroadst

vention, is an inducement which isl
expected to take thousands of Ameri-£
can' Legion members to San Francis-
co, national headquarters here has

These rates, confined to members ofr
the Legion, widows -of deceased mem-,
bers and members of the American

from San Francisco. Identification
certificates have been issued through,
11,000 Legion posts, which must be3
presented to the veterans' home sta-
tion agent to obtain advantage of the
fare.
"All.Legionnaires must leave San
l Francisco in time to reach the orig-
inal starting point by midnight of No-
vember 15," said the announcement.
"The extended return limit, however,I
is sufficient to enable them to stop-
over at various points of interest on
going and return trip, to make side-
trips, or to take short ocean voyages,,
including trips to Hawaii. Within the
territory west of and including Chi-
cago, St. Louis, Memphis and New Or-
leans, tickets may be obtained which

Although it has not been made pub-
lic in exactly what direction the re-
searches made possible by this gift
will be conducted, the continuation of
work begun by Prof. Francis Kelsey,
of the Latin department, in 1919' is
now made possible, and the money
was presented to the University with
that purpose specifically stated.
It was during this expedition to the
Near East that Professor Kelsey suc-
ceeded in gathering for the University
a collection of Greek and Coptic papy-
rus documents' that is said to rival in
interest any similar collection in the
country. Professor Kelsey's work was
stopped at that time, due to a lack of
funds.
