sets colonies has meant to this coun-
try and that the production Of
dramatic events both in the classroom

that division. 1T should be the work
of this committee" he said. Ito make
helpful suggestions to the teachers
for correlating the observance of the

undertake a combined division effort
in the production of combined

ance of the tercentenary or whether

900 NAVAL AND MARINE
HEROES TO GET MEDAL S
Awards Delayed by Investigation
Will Be Made on Armis-
tice Day.

About nineteen hundred officers and
men of the United States Navy and
Marine Corps will receive decorations
for distinguished service in the world
war on the second anniversary of
Armistice day next week.
The distribution Of these decora-
tons has been delayed by the con-
troversy precipitated by Rear Admiral
Sims last winter in declining to ac-
cept a medal awarded him because
some of the members of his staff were
not similarly recognized.
The resulting congressional inves-
t1gation led to a complete revision of
the original list of awards by the
naval board, of which Rear Admiral
A. NJ. knight was chairman. That
revision has just been completed and
approved by the Navy Department,
and the medals have been mailed to
commanding officers of ships and sta
tons for distribution either on Armis-
tice day. November IL. or Armistice
Sunday, November IA.
The list of awards will not be made
public until after the decorations have
been delivered. Whether the names
OF Rear Admiral Sims and other Off
GERS who declined to accept the orig
inal awards. are in the revised list
has not been disclosed.

SAYS "TRICK BALLOTS"
ARE USED IN MARYLAND
State Senator Declares First Fold
7 Shows Democratic Ticket,
Last One G. o. P.

Galen L. TAFT. chairman of the re-
publican state committee for Mary
land. was informed at Bethesda this
AFTERNOON by a telephone from Oliver
Metzerott. state senator from Prince
Georges county. that a trick ballot is
being used
This ballot is so folded that those
desiring to vote for Cox and Roosevelt
and the entire democratic ticket have
10 open only one fold. Those desiring
10 vote for Harding and Coolidge and
senator and members of Congress have
10 open up the entire ballot he said
He notified Mr.. TAFT that the names
are not arranged on this ballot &C
cording to the sample ballot given out
by the supervisors.
Under the state law, Mr. TAFT point
ed out. the ballots have to be cast
FOLDED. the same as when issued Mr.
Metzerott notified him that the ballots
being used have a peculiar crease.
This is handicap to the republican
voters. who are obliged to open up
the entire ballot, and in refolding it
are likely to slip into the wrong
crease. The democratic voters having
to open only one fold are not thus
troubled.
Mr. Metzerott and Mr.. TAFT express
ed fear that some ballots might be
cast improperly folded and that they
would be cast out as defective when
the votes are being counted.
