used ~ crude symbols Of religion, ma
t1onal power or individual greatness
OF later years the medallic art has
been developed to record artistic, eco

that . modern nations medals show
the history Of that nations progress
toward civilization This use Of med
ais has caused the making Of them Ia
be a distinct art In itself 1t has been
defined As the link between sculpture
and painting. The design Of a medal
must DO not only decorative, but sug-
sest1ve OF the occasion intended to be
commemorated. For instance. all the
characters on the shield Of the Ameri-
can war medal are symbols, and these
symbols, combined with the spread
eagle behind, the stars in the border
and the motto, DO right and fear no

DURANGO BOYS LAST
HEARD OF IN FLORIDA

Word from Ross Grim to his par.
ents here gives out the information
that some time ago the battleship
Huntington on which are the Duran
go boys left San Francisco harbor.
1t appears that only the officers knew
for which point the ship sailed. At
least no information was given out
as to the destiny of the big ship.
Along with the Huntington crew were
I thousand other navy boys on their
way to some ship in the tropical
waters. When the Huntington reach
ed the other vessel she found it in
quarantine and so these 1000 navy
boys are still ON the ship with Du-
range boys. They are largely San
Francisco boys. The information is
that the Huntington went south and
then thru the big Panama canal and
up to Pensacola, Florida, from which
point Ross wrote to his parents. He
gave out no further information con-
cerning the movement of their vessel,
but in all probability it has long since
sailed from Pensacola and it is up to
the vivid imaginations of those inter
ested to determine where our Duran
go navy boys are at this time. The
boys have already seen an interesting
part of the world and no doubt they
enjoyed immensely this trip which
some day they will describe fully to
