of attraction for host of former serv-
ice men who are taking advantage of
the opportunity to spend a week or
two at the famous New Jersey seaside
resort at a trif1ing cost Since the
formal inauguration of the camp there
has been a steady influx of guests from
all sections of the country, some COM
ing from states as distant as Alabama
and New Hampshire to mingle with
crowds on the board walk and the
beach, and live the life of a summer
sojourner without undergoing the in
convenience Of meeting hotel bills.
The camp itself, located near the
Atlantic City Yacht club, has twenty
tents, capable Of housing 200 men at
a cost to them of S. week apiece.
Cots, mattresses, bedding and all fur
niShlngS are provided to the Legion

Frederick Hickman, James n. Butler,
Walter Hanstein, August Goetz, Sam
Izenskie, James Heenan, DR.. Samuel

every year to all members Of the Lee
giOn. This year it will run until the

Victory Medal With Five Battle Clasps
as Worn by the Men of the Second
Division.

held in nineteen insular possessions of
the United States and in a number Of
foreign countries where there are es-
tablished posts Of the Legion.
Had it not been for the initiative Of
the American Legion there would be
no ceremony attached to the distrlbu-
ton of the medals, Mr.. D'Olier points
out II believe the American Legion
can take a justifiable pride in the
fact that but for it there would have
been no formal observance at all of the
presentation of the Victory medal"
he said under the original plan OF
distribution applicants were to apply
individually, either through recruit
ing station or military or navy post
or direct to the adjutant general OF
the army or the secretary Of the navy.
Medals were to be sent by mail to the
home address of the recipient. The
award of a token so significant as the
Victory medals marks an epoch IN our
history and should, and will be, invest
ed with appropriate ceremony"
Post commanders are now drawing
from the government the official appll-
cation forms with which to supply the
ex-service men in their communities.
The posts Of New York city are pro-
viding typewriters and the free serv-
ices of notaries to all applicants, in
asmuch as it is necessary that all
forms be typewriter and certlhed.
Any veteran may apply to any one
of the $500 posts in the Legion to
make application for his medal. This
offer applies to non-members as well
as members of the Legion. Special
consideration will be given gold star
mothers and other next-Of-kin who
are entitled to the medals Of men who
died in the service. Unless the appll-
cant otherwise specifies, medals ap-
nlied for through Legion channels will

er of the post through which the appli-
cation was made, until Armistice day
when the formal presentation will be
made.
Men who already have applied for
their medals through other channels
may turn them in to any Legion post
for presentation on November IL.

Adventures With a Purse

THERE is certain shop of which I
l. have written a number Of times be-
fore that recently purchased limited
number of little beaded bags-the sort
one needs to carry with a silk dress.
We, the Person in Authority and my
self, conferred seriously together and de-
cided that, all things being equal, there
should be enough Of them left for you
to have an opportunity to read about
them here, and purchase one. Let, me
describe one for you. 1t is Of dark
blue and is crocheted. 1T measures
some FIVE inches long and pulls together
at the top with cord. And sprinkled
over it, in richly colored design, are
tiny beads. The first impression is that
the bag is covered with beads, but on
second glance you will notice that they
form merely the pleasing design. I
have it on good authority that these are
imported bags, and that they are hand
made. Their price is $1.75 each.
If you have been faithful follower
recently, you will have noticed that on
several occasions I have posed some
what as a fashion authority, stating

Il is that you pick the streets such as

real, simple and common sense girl? Re-
member they are the fashionable streets
OF either city. No doubt you will fnd
a number OF real girls on those streets,
but you had better seek other places for
the girl OF your dreams.

Mendina a Record

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Kindly answer the fol-
lowing questions: How can records of
a talking machine be mended so as they
can play again? The records are broken
in half
am a girl of fourteen years of age,
and I am very anxious to do some sort
of work after school I would not care
II had to ride to work. Can you kind
ly inform me of a place where I can be
employed after school hours? Is q self
addressed envelope necessary?
CURLY HAIR.
I'm afraid you can't mend the records.
You might be able to stick them TO-
gether with strong glue, but there would
always be the crack to spoil the record
and make loud, cracking noise when 1t
Is played.
There are various positions that a
girl of fourteen can fill In after-school
hours. In order to do any work at your
age you have to apply at the Bureau
of Compulsory Education, 1922 Cherry
street. for a license. Then apply at the
United States Employment Bureau, at
the same place, for q position.

Rubber Rings

Canning demonstrators Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture have
been studying the requirements Of
good rubber ring in order to eliminate
canning troubles.
Tests of thousands of rings disclosed
the fact that color, despite popular
opinion, has nothing TO do with the
quality or strength of the rubber. A ring
should be able to support a weight Of
thirteen pounds without breaking.
To make a perfect seal, rubber rings
should possess elasticity enough to take
up the unevenness Of the jar and the
cover, and be strong enough to resist
cutting when the seal is made. A ring
that cannot be folded or pinched with
out breaking is useless for canning by
methods in which the ring Is heated
(processed), with the jar and contents.
