HoNoRs AWARDED ONLY oNcE

tCoI. Robert F. Wylie, U, s, A.. in the
 National Geographic Magaxine)
 No medal, decoration or substitute should be worn unless the wearef possesses it in his own right; he must be the one whose services earned it to entitle him to wear it. On his death it becomes an heirloom to he kept by his family. but it should not be worn by any of them, and, similarly, in cases where a medal is presented to the nearest of his kin because of the death of the one to whom the award was made, the person thus holding it has no right to wear if.
 There was one notable exception to this general rule Lord Roberts only son, an officer in the British army, was killed in the Boer war while en- gagged in an act of great herOism, fer which he was posthumously awarded the Victoria cross. The decoration was duly presented to Lord Roberts, who was given express authority to wear it; but this permission was undeubtr edly based on the fact that Lord R6b- erts had a Victoria cross in his own right, earned by gallant action during the Indian mutiny; So this ease can not be considered as precedent,
 This incident was an exception to yet another universal rule. that the same decoration is never given twice to the same individual. Lord Rob- erts was the only man who was ever authorized to wear two Victoria crosses,
 Tn the United States no one has re- ceived two medals of honor, two dis tinguished service crosses, two diati0L- guished service medals; nor In Frahce two croix de guerre, etc. Instead of giving another on the performance of a second act justifying such an award. some special device is placed on the ribbon of the medal and on the serv- ice ribbon to show that the wearer has been decorated a seeoad time with the same distinction.
