EG ON IS HELPING DISTRIBUTE IDA L ?Navy and Marino Corps Victory Emblem, Howover, Not Yet Roady NOTES FROM THE POSTS Distribution of victory medal to tcterans of the war Is being expedited 'through the co-operation of the posts 'of the American Legion in Philadel phia county. , Approximately 12,000 medal have I been distributed through the head quarters of the army recruiting nervlce, 1345 Arch street, nnd the distribution Office at 132:1 Itaco street, declared Lieutenant William II. Little yester day. Several thousand applications for medals have been turned over to representativcN of about fortv legion posts In and about Philadelphia. The medals arc delivered through the army supply depot at Twenty-first street and Oregon ncntir. The help of the posts Is greatly appreciated by tho army officials, who arc desirous of completing the work of distribution at the earliest possible date. There is some misunderstanding rela tive to the applications for medals, es pecially on the part of former members of the navy and marine corps. In a bulletin, issued today by national legion headquarters, it U pointed out that the marine corps nnd navy have not as yet completed their arrangements for the 'distribution of medals, nnd that ap plications for such medals will not be received. Indications are that the medals for theso branches of the service will be mailed to naval reserve force men without necessity of formal ap plication, and that ex-navy men may obtain them by applying to the nearest recruiting station. The marine corps will begin the dis tribution about October 30. applications being made either personally or by letter to tho nearest recruiting station.

FALLING LUMBER KILLS BOY Searchers Find Child, Thought Kid-' napped, Under Pile of Boards i When Ralph Flore, four-jear-old son of Antonio Flore, of Washington street, Hammonton, N. J., failed to re turn home late yesterday afternoon his parents and neighbors, with visions of the loughiin Kiunnppmg, began a search i through the woous and thickets skirt ing the town. After many hours the band of search ers came upon nn overturned pile of lumber by the roadside. On moving the lumber pile the body of the child was revealed. Dr. Charles Cunningham, coroner, viewed the body uml after an examina tion declared the child had died as a result of crawling over the lumber, niln and the lumber rolling to the ground had buried the child beneath it. Tho boy's father Is flagman nt the Itosedale crossing near Hammonton.
