the absence OF contestants from the

ing that they we're too far from q

more than half Of the photos OF con-

and these will be published in a group

promptly furnished their photos.
In the month that yet remains Of
this contest there is still ample OPP
portunity for candidates, that are
not now al the top, TO reach forea
most positions The time has now
arrived when first positions can be
held only by personal work. There
are a number of clubs now being
formed by various candidates and
the big votes that will result from
these clubs via make 1t impossible
for a non-workng candidate to over

The public is watching this con-
test closely and every contestant has
her coterie OF friends who are In

Of seeing her win. A personal solicit
