MOVEMENT TO BETTER
: CONDITION OF CHILDREN

A striking development in the
movement to obtain better conditions
for children is described in the pam.
phlet just issued by the Children s
Bureau of the U. s. Department of
Labor, entitled, estate Commissions
for the Study and Revision of Child
Welfare Laws"
1t is 9 years, according to this pam
phlet, since Ohio appointed the first
commission to study conditions sur
rounding children in the State and
to codify and revise the laws relating
to children. Since that time 16 other
states and the District of Columbia
have officially recognized the import
ance OF this work by appointing SIM
liar commissions. and altogether al
most two-thirds Of the states have
now taken some definite action to-
wards studying legislation as it az
fleets children.
In almost every state where such
commissions have been appointed a
careful study of conditions in the
state and of remedies that have prov
ed successful in other states has pre-
~ceded suggestion for new legislation
or for the revision of existing laws,
thus avoiding the danger Of hasty
and ill-considered action. At the
same time carefully planned educa-
tional campaign has been carried on
to explain the child-welfare needs of
the state and the purpose and scope
of the proposed legislation.
The subjects covered include the
safeguarding Of health, school at
tendance, regulation Of employment,
protection against exploitation or
corruption of morals, special provi-
sion and training of dependent and
neglected children, methods Of deal
ing with delinquent children and
state supervision of agencies and in
stitutions.
The pamphlet gives a summary Of
organization and plans of work for
each of the<states in which commits
sions have been appointed and an
outline for an index Of existing leg
islation affecting child-welfare. It
contains also a list of reports and ar
ticles relating to the work of the va
rious commissions and list of COM
pilations and summaries of laws af-
fecting children,

BATTLE AREA MAP TO
Be SENT LEGION POSTS
Will Assist in Distribution of
Victory Medals to All
ex-Service Men

Washington, August 24.-To facil-
itate distribution of Victory medals
in which the War Department has en-
listed the cooperation of the Ameri-
can Legion, Adjutant General P. G.
Harris has announced that copy of
the War Departments official battle
area map will be forwarded to each
of the $500 local posts of the Le-
gion, which are situated in every COM
munity in the United States and in
ninteen insular possessions and for
eign countries.
1.-THE map will be of great value
as an aid to determining eligibility
for battle awards in the issue of the
Victory medal" writes the Adjutant
General in the letter to Franklin
D.Olier, national commander Of the
Legion. "This office also is pleased
to state that since the arrival at NUT
ual understanding concerning the
responsibilities of the American Le-
gion and the recruiting service the
matter of distribution of Victory
medals has been progressing nicely.
Notwithstanding the improvement
in the situation noted by the adjutant
general there still is a good deal of
Misunderstanding on the part of vet
Grams as to the steps necessary to pro-
cure their medals and the arrange
ments under way for the formal pre-
sentation of medals which will take
place on Nov. II.
There are two means by which ex-
service men may apply for their dec
orations. The easiest method is to
apply to any post of the American
Legion. The War Department has
authorized post commanders to draw
official application forms. These
forms can be executed at post head
quarters. Legion officials will for
ward them to the proper sources. The
other way to get a medal is to apply
at any recruiting station.
There is only one way which a vet
eran may share in the formal presen-
tation ceremonies, the arrangements
for which are in entire charge of the
local Legion officials in each commun-
ity. Unless otherwise specified all
medals applied for thru Legion chan
nels will be delivered to the Legion
post of the veterans choice and re-
tanned there until Armistice Day
when the formal presentation will be
held simultaneously turnout the
country. Veterans who apply for
their medals thru the recruiting SER
vice will receive them by mail at
their homes. If they desire to par
ticipate in the Armistice day cere-
monies they should deposit their
medals with Legion post.
The Legion makes no distinction
between members and non-m embers
In the Victory medal distribution.
By the terms of the agreement with
the War Department all ex-service
men may apply for their decorations
thru legion channels and participate
in the Armistice Day celebrations
under Legion auspices. Special ar
rangements are being made to get
medals to gold-star mothers and 9TH
er-next of kin who are privileged to
receive the decoration of men who
died in the service.
