MEDALS AWAIT SERVICE MEN
Emblens for All Who Served in World
War Ready for Distribution
on Armistice Day.
painSt I.

Nearly 100000 Victory medals,
turned out by lengthy and involved
process of Manufacture, now are
awaiting former service men. Thou
sands of these medals will be pre-
sented to veterans on Armistice day
by posts of the American Legion,
which have arranged elaborate cere-
monies in honor of the occasion. The
medal was designed by James Earl
Frazer.
Phases never before met with in
medal production were met with by
the contractors in the making of the
decorations with their ribbons, battle
clasps and bars. and to handle certain
steps in the process of manufacture
new machines were invented. One of
these was a ribbon-cutting machine
which turned out 80 pieces a minute
and in the course of a day did a guam
tity of work equal to the labors of Is
people.
A striking machine with a force of
US tons a blow was used on the
medals after the disks had been an
nealed following which there came the
application of hydraulic pressure of
40 pounds. An automatic sand blast
and an alcohol bath also were utilized
before putting the final lacquer on the
medal.
Not only Legionnaires but many
other ex-service men viii take part in
the Armistice day celebrations in all
sections of the country and will re-
ceive their medals with formal OBJ
servance of their significance.

A total of S1,275, or enough TO pro-

National Treasurer, Indianapolis, Ind.
1t will then be turned over to the
American Red Cross, which will assign
the children and supervise the expendi-
ture of the money.
A specific child will be assigned to
each adopting post or individual and
a photograph of each mascot will be
forwarded TO the adopter, who there
after may keep in touch with the war
orphan either direct or through the
Red Cross. The Red Cross bears all
expense of administration so that all

The captain found Desdemona IN
tumult Armed members of the vice
ring were parading through the streets
in confident bravado. The post mar
shaled its forces and ordered the three
offending peace officers of the town
to leave within twenty-four hours. The
latter returned a contemptuous re-
fusal. Desdemona seethed. From oil
fields and camps hundreds of men
poured into town to be present when
the ultimatum should expire.
Eighteen Legionnaires were sworn
in as deputy rangers and mingled with
the crowd while the offending officers
staggered down the main street. Just
as the time limit expired one unarmed
member of the Legion post stepped up
to the officers and ordered them to
surrender. A dozen revolvers leaped
from dozen hips and all the bravado
went out of the ring. The Legion dep
uties disarmed the leaders and march
ed them off TO an office, where they
wrote out their designations as town
officials.
The next morning the roads from
Desdemona were dotted with automo-
biles bearing the exodus of the sport
ing fraternity to newer and greener
pastures. Desdemona was through
with them.

Speak to the buddy with the but
ton" is the appeal expressed in a
resolution passed by the Franklin
county council of the American Lee
gion in Ohio. This policy has been
adopted by many other posts. The
resolution follows:
Whereas. during our service in the
World War we greeted each other
whenever we met and ate, slept, fought
and shot craps together without in
production; and
Whereas. in civilian life, we are
compelled to remain closer to custom;
Be it resolved, That the members
of the American Legion of Franklin
county, O., shall in the future regard
the American Legion emblem as an
open Introduction between wearers of
same. thereby creating more close
knit and friendly organization.
