Be Honored.

The Cosmopolitan Club of Washing
ton, in keeping with the practice of
Cosmopolitan Clubs in all parts of the
United States. will award a citation and
engraved gold medal to the man or
woman who, in the opinion of a Sc
lected committee, has performed the
most outstanding, unselflsh service for
Washington in 1929.
DR.. j. Rozier Biggs, president Of the
Washington Club last night announced
the plans for honoring Washington'S
most outstanding citizen" Arrange
ments for the presentation Of the medal

president of the National Press Club,

idea Advanced Two Years Ago.
The idea of rewarding the outstand-
ing citizen Of various communities was
first advanced by DR.. Biggs at a meet
ing of the Cosmopolitan delegates here
two years ago but was not taken up at
that time. At the 1929 meeting Of the
international Federation Of Cosmopoli-
tan Clubs the subject again was brought
UP. The federation voted In favor OF
presenting such medals.
This is in no sense a hero medal,
DR.. Biggs explained. THE Carnegie,
police and firemen and other similar
medals take care of heroic actions.
Our medal is designed to reward the
earnest, thinking citizen who concelVes
a plan for the good of his city ana
either puts 1t into operation or sees
that this is done.
Committee to Make Award.
1.-THE Cosmopolitan Club will have no
voice in the selection of such person.
He or she may be nominated through
the newspapers or in letters to the
president of the club in the District
National Bank Building, or merely sug-
pested by word of mouth to member
of the Cosmopolitan Club. The com.
mittee which we have named, ana
which we believe to be thoroughly rep
resentative of washington, Will then
make the award"
. Them medals are uniform in design
and are suitably engraved after the de-
cision as to the winner is made. Tne
medal for washington will be placed on
display following its arrival here.
While no definite plans have been
made Il is probable that the presenta-
tion following the decision OF the
Judges will be made at the flrst night
meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club FOL
lowing the New Year.
