In Responsible Hands-No Harm In
Making Them Attractive.
1t is generally agreed that the
healthy progressive development Of a
city or town depends primarily on the
opportunities offered by the street sys-
TEN for unlimited and untrammeled
circulation. and the experience of all
large industrial cities has been that ,he
demand for better and greater facill-
ties for such circulation is increasing
more rapidly than means for supply
ing it can be found therefore the
wise determination Of street widths is
one Of the most important of the prac-
teal and economic problems of city
planning and should be subjected to
much closer study than has heretofore
been the practice Of town planners.
says A. b. Haldeman, Philadelphia
engineer

count of an indictment in which he had
been found guilty on six counts, Rev.
Frank w. Sanford, leader Of the Holy

came to Portland from Shiloh this morn
ing, accompanied by six of his followers,
including Capt. Austin K. Perry and
Rev. Charles Holland. who is known as
Moses at Shiloh. SANFORD has COM
pleted plans so that Rev. Mr.. Holland
will have absolute charge of the colony
at Shiloh, and Sanford says that the
work of his famous religious cult will
not suffer because of his absence.
For ten hours yesterday Sanford
stood in the pulpit at Shiloh talking,
preaching. and praying. OF the 6O0-odd
men and women who make up this
strange religious colony, only one was
absent from the services.

on various committees. Father Fealy,
the one who is not closely connected with
public and commercial enterprises. has
shown his worth on more than one oc-

When the counting was over Rev. Mr..
Fealy, as chairman of the board of
Judges. extended the thanks of that body
to the officials in charge of the tour for
the assistance they rendered in making
the verification of the count as easy as
possible.

parlor of the New Willard last night, the
Columbia Country Club adopted an
amendment to its constitution providing
for the admission of a number Of asso-
ciate members. the object being to en-
courage and stimulate interest in golf,
tennis, and other outdoor sports in the
younger element.
The statement of the finance committee
shows the club to be in good financial
condition. with a surplus of about $4,000,
with bonds selling at par, and with an
almost 50 per cent increase in land valua-
ton during the year of its occupation

Anna. The SAINT Anna is due to arrive
in Naples February S. and for three days

owing to the differences between Italy

STORY OF THE CONTEST
AS SEEN FROM INSIDE

Nearly 10000 votes were cast in the
final hours of The Herald's Round the
World and Mediterranean Tour Contest,
which has been a great inspiration for
energy in Washington and vicinity since
September 10.
The heaviest shower of votes ever
known in a newspaper contest fell within
The Herald Building while the hands of
the clock moved steadily toward the hour
of 10 last Saturday night, when the con-
test closed. Nearly all of the active
candidates and their friends were in at
the finish. Thousands of votes were cast
as the minutes sped, and when the last
ballot had been received, the clerks were
busy stamping subscriptions and votes
before being placed in the big ballot box.
There could be no contest without
Some losers, and while the fact of losing
in the race for such rich prizes as trips
around the world and tours OF Europe
could not be considered lightly, those who
did not win looked upon their losses
philosophically, believing that they did
their best. BY entering and doing we'll
in this contest, the losers have estab-
lished themselves as young people de-
serving Of friendship and respect. Their
positions have been strengthened in their
home communities, as well as far beyond,
for The Herald has told the story day
by day Of their enterprise, and they have
created nothing but good will.
The Heralds contest has proved sue
cessful from every point of view. 1t has
stirred activity in every section OF the
District, as well as far beyond, in Viz
ginia and Maryland. 1t has served the
purpose of having thousands Of people
who read The Herald choose who they
want to send around the world and who
they want to send to Europe as guests
Of The Herald, and all that remains is
for these people to climb aboard and en-
joy the hospitality The Herald offers.
The Grand Prize Winners.
Miss Mary Wilcox polled the highest
vote in the entire contest, and wins a
tour of the world. J. W. May is the next
highest district winner, and chooses a
world tour. Miss Loretta MINIS is the
next highest district winner, and has the
choice of a world tour or the double
European trip for herself and companion.
Miss MINIS has decided on the two trips
to Europe, as she cannot spare the nee
essary time from her position for the trip
around the world, much as she would
like to go.
Miss Helen Mosher is the next highest
olslrlCt "IuneTp ana Wits inc lnIu tOur
OF the world. John r. Stone makes the
biggest gain IN votes between November
% and December 16, and wins the extra
European tour.
Polling Final Vote.
The closing moments OF The Washing
ton Herald's around the world and Medi-
terranean tour contest were fraught with
excitement.
Money collected for subscriptions to The
Washington Herald was brought in
Fatchels and bankers envelopes. Every
body was busy. The force of clerks was
besieged by candidates depositing final
votes, and when the hpur OF 10 o'clock
approached the tour once was occupied
