characterized with such energy, such
I vim, confidence and determination to

thing to attempt stating or entertain
ing an idea who will be the winner OF
the first grand prize, the Ford auto

We only wish that we were rich
enough to give every one of these
young ladies one of the autos. They
surely are deserving. Contests are as
interesting as the last inning in
