Weekly Contest.
Five More Days Before
Close of General
Competition.

with only five more days remaining
for the submission of photographs In
The Sunday Times beauty quest, the
mails today to the Beauty Editors office
were heavier than ever before.
The public has taken the advice Of The
Sunday Times. and is now sending IN
all those photographs which. through
oversight or delay, have been kept out
Of the contest II photographs come in
for the remainder Of the week as they
have come IN today, it VIII not be the
people's fault IL Washington does not
come out victorious over all other cities
in the national contest.
In fact. the collection OF pictures
IA the Beauty Editors office does not
contain the l0veliest face in the District
Of Columbia, the really most lovely
woman Of Washington must have gone
into seClusion. Certain il is that the
people Of every section Of the city and
the District have done their part and are
doing their part in the effort to find such
woman as viii make Washington
triumph in the contest a certainty
Preacher Refers to Contest.
Never before IN the history of the
city has public interest been 50 aroused
in a movement 10 prove the superiority
OF washington as the home Of beauty.
Not only is this interest evinced in the
hundreds OF letters and pictures received
by The Sunday Times. but the quest
Is discussed la drawing rooms and on
the street, and references has been made
TO Il By one Of the best knows FFeaeh-
ers Of the gospel in the National Capital
The Rev. Donald C Macleod made
reference to the beauty contest Sunday
in his sermon, the theme of which was
the obligation Of talent; the text being
First Corinthians, iy and vii To illus
trate that all things are not evenly
divided in this world, he called atten-
ton - the fact that some people are
brilliant, some commonplace. some tall.
some short. some beautiful. and some
plain.
Suppose all women were beautiful"
said DR.. Macleod, what a world it
would be. Why, in that case The Wash
ington Times could not have a beauty
contest.
This remark seemed to amUse the un-
usually large congregation and proved
that not only Washington ohUrchgoeTs
but also the preachers themselves are
interested in The Sunday Times con-
test.
Best Judges Of Beauty.
A correspondent of The Sunday Times
today revives the old discussion as 10
whether men or women are the best
judges Of women's beauty. He says:
'As quite a few Of my friends are
very much interested in your beauty
contest and have been following it right
g
YOU don't think It would be much bet
ter TO have men instead Of women as
judges? Men know more than women
about the beauty of a woman.
Now, if you want the photograph Of
q real beauty, ges that OF a woman
who, I have discovered, lives on Thir-
teenth street southwest I don't know
whether she is a Mrs. or a Miss, but
her name is Gay. AS I do not know
her, I cannot ask her photograph. Many
others have commented on her beauty
Caught in the Park"
To the Beauty Editor today came a
proof of enterprise in the securing of
beauty photographs, showing that
Washington's people are doing their best
to get the pictures of all the lovely
women. It came as a kodak snapshot
of a pretty woman standing by a sol
dier's statue in a park.
Across the back of the photograph is
written: Caught in the park"
And below is the name of the woman
who was caught in the park" The
picture shows her standing beside the
statue and laughing toward the kodak.
When people go about swapping pictures
of beauties. they are surely willing to
do everything possible to get the photo
graphs.
"Some Criticisms, Praises"
Miss Rose Stella johnson, who sent in
the photograph of her sister. Miss
Frances Loretta Johnson, the winner
of the third weekly contest, has written
to The Sunday Times thanking the
paper for the theater box party which
was given by The Sunday Times to
Miss Frances Johnson. In the letter
the winners sister says:
I wish TO say that we are very proud
that my sister was selected by iIdqas
who are well known as being most can
able and having regulations in their
lines that cannot be surpassed 7,;.,
have passed by the fiippant beauty and
selected the face which shows beaurI-
of soul as well as perfect outline II
you have been criticised by those who
look for cOquettishDess in beauty ~,
stead of spirituality. you can well AT
ford to accent such criticisms as praises
in disguise"
