Has Only Thirty-eight
Less Pictures Than
Northwest.
Odds Against District
Because of Small
Territory.
Third Weekly Contest
to Close Tomorrow
Night.

With only seventeen days more
for the beauty contest to run. the
Northeast section OF the city has
only thirty~eight less pictures sub
mitted than the Northwest section.
The Southeast and the Southwest
are still several hundred behind
Some weeks ago The Sunday Times
announced that the Northwest was
far in the lead in the number Of
photographs submitted. The way the
Northeast responded to the re-
minder is most gratifying.
Everybody should realize that. unless
the most beautiful photograph Ia the
District Of Columbia is found by this
quest for beauty. it means that the
search is partially a failure Other
cities are out with the confident asser-
ton that they have found the most
beautiful within their limits. If other
cities can do It, the people Of Washing
ton can assure that The Sunday Times
will do it.
Increase From the Northeast.
me 4AAEt AilNttAS- IN the photographs
from the Northeast shows that the peo-
pie there are doing all In their power
10 send 10 The Sunday Times the photo
graphs of ali the lovely women they
know.
A gratifying increase has also been no.
tieed in the pictures received frcm the
OUTLYING portions and the subHrbs Of
Washington II is a striking fact that.
although pictures came in during the
first week in such numbers as left no
hope for their increasing they have
been coming in IN increasing numbers
ever since. The interest in the hunt for
the city's loveliest woman has devel-
oped into an exciting game. a game In
which the fame of the city as the home
OF beauty Is at stake.
This Is the best thing imaginable.
Denver is still searching through four
States Tor q beauty who shall contest
with Washington and other cities for the
final national prize. Boston IS stiil urg-
ing the people Of half OF New England
10 send in photographs of the beautiful
women there. New York Is hunting
ready selected her winner from the
millions there.
Odds Against Us Here.
The odds against the National Can
itaI are tremendous, both In area and in
number. from which her opponents are
seeking their candidates. It is evident
therefore. that Ii behooves The SUNDAY
Times and all the people of washington
TO leave no stone unturned 10 find the
most beautiful woman N Washington
the woman who will outshine the claims
of any Of her sisters here.

From this it is evident that every
effort should be made 10 send in photo

There are just two more chances for
the weekly prizes Another reason for
prOmptness is that no more free photo-
