BE SIGNAL
HONORED
W. Jusserand VIII Present
Legion Of Honor to
DR.. Wilmer
By JEAN ELIOT.

nNE Of Washington's most dis.
tinguished ciLizens, Doctor
~ William Holland Wilmer, who
has been made commander Of the
Legion Of Honor, will be signally
honored when this coveted decora.
ton is bestowed upon him next
Wednesday evening. The award
was made by the French govern
ment last summer in recognition Of
Doctor Winners signal service to
France and to humanity during the
war, but the actual bestowal Of the
order was postponed until the pre-.
eentation could be made by the
French ambassador, M. Jusserand,
an old friend of the famous Ameri.
can physician.
The decoration win be presented
ct a small reception which M. and
Nine. Jusserand are giving on Wed.
nesday evening, and the guests in.
Yited have been limited to friends
Of Doctor Wilmer, number OF
prominent Washington physicians
being among them. Prior to this
there will be a family" dinner, the
term presumably including the EN-.
bassy family.
The Cross OF Commander Of the
Legion Of Honor is the second
highest award in the gift OF the
Franch republic and Is coveted by
scientists the world over. In the
words of the actual citation it was
bestowed upon Doctor Wilmer for
high service to science and special
service to France in the world
war" The doctor, who is one Of
the most famous oculists in the
world today, spent many months
in France while the war was in
progress and undoubtedly saved the
lives Of many Franchmen and the
eyesights Of many more. For one
thing he used to make frequent
Tights with army aviators in ac-
ton, testing the effect of air pres
sure upon the eyesight at high
attitudes, and consequently he was
able to work out a series Of tests
which eliminated those men whose
eyes We're untitled for flying and
undoubtedly prevented many ca
tastrophes.
Jusserands Enjoying First October
In Washington in Years.
The little party at the French
embassy on Wednesday will be the
first of this season-and probably
the last for several weeks. For
the Ambassador and Nine. Jusse.
rand are thoroughly enjoying the
pleasantest season of the year in
Washington when the weather is
perfect and when there are few
social obligations to make demands
upon their time. Not in years have
they spent October here, for until
this summer they have been delayed
in setting forth for their annual
vacation in France and this has, of
course. delayed their return in the
same measure.
). At present Nine. Jusserand is
devoting herself to having the en-
bassw renovated and put thoroughly
in order something which she SAYS
has been rather overlooked in the
last two or three years because of
their late return to town. And she
and the ambassador are leading the
Quietest of lives, seeing only their
most intimate friends and taking
long drives through country decked
out with the scarlet and gold of
autumn by way of rest and recrea-
ton.
