Notes of Decisions In general.-Defendant was prosecuted for wearing distinctive parts of the uniform of the United States Army, in violation of sec. 125. National Defense Act, as amended. There was evidence that defendant, a second lieutenant of Infantry in the Maryland State Guard (home guard), who had served honorably as a sergeant in the United States Army during the first World War, wore his uniform as a state guard officer at a meeting of members of the Order of the Purple Heart, to which he belonged, held in Florida. Judgment of guilty. Held: lieutenant are a distinctive part of the uniform of the United State Army. Defendant's World War service did not entitle him to wear them because he was only a sergeant in that war and because the meeting was not an "occasion of ceremony" within the meaning of sec. 125, N. D. A. The Maryland State Guard is restricted to use within the State and defendant's membership in it did not entitle him to wear its uniform in Florida. U. S. v. Herting (D. C., S. D.
