SHOULD VISIT CONTEST
HOME MORE REGULARLY
On Every Floor of Building in Thirteenth Street Are
Articles of Value and Interest to
Consumers.

!. Contestants in The Washington Her
ads $4,000 competition should not fail
to visit all Of the floors Of The Advo-
Gates headquarters at ~ Thirteenth
Street Northwest when they call there
to deposit votes.
There 10 an idea prevalent among many
Of the contestants to the effect that by
a single inspection 1t il possible to see
everything in the building. Following
out this line Of reasoning they spend but
little time in the building when they
call to deposit their votes and mediums
Of exchange.
The Advocate hopes that this mode of
reasoning will be discontinued. and that
contestants will form the habit Of linger-
ing long at the contest home. The con-
tents Of the building cannot be seen
in one visit. or In two. or even In three.
Each visit will reveal something which
was not noticed before.
There are many interesting displays OF
manufactured products on the nrst moor
Of the building. Contestants should In
spect the booths carefully. ask for
demonstrations, get giimpses. and. IN
short, become intimately acquainted with
tho various products.
The second and third floors are devoted
to be given to winners Of the competition.
They are 30 numerous and the floors
arc 80 crowded with. them that It IL
impossible for q person to examine the
articles carefully IN less than half .
dozen trips. The Advocates assistants
arc located on all three floors to show
visitors. through the building. explain
about the contest. and answer any Ques-
tnons which may be put to them.
The articles on display will BE- changed
from time to time. 30 that by the end
of the contest the public will have been
given an opportunity to see all Of the
$50 awards. In all probability no ad-
vance notice Of these changes win BE-
made. Consequently. coatestantst should
look over the articles carefully on each
trip to the building TO learn whether
or not any additions have been made.
Some finishing touches on the interior
Of the building are now being
made by. the Advocate, The excite
ment OF the opening week b now q

however. that the spirit which pervadsd
the building during the opening week
has died out. That spirit 10 still prev
alens and will unQuestionably con-
tine until the end Of the contest.
To Publish Stsnding.
There IL an enormous amount Of claf-
ical work in connection with the con-
test. The mediums Of exchange have to
be received and counted. Then the votes
have to be recorded and cards changed
In the fling system. This requires
large star Of employees. They have not
yet completed listing the votes which
soon as the stan has caught UP In the
work and the votes are recorded up to
date, the standing Of the contestants will
be published. A careful lookout should
be kept for the publication Of this list
in The Herald.
So much emphasis has recently been
placed on the contest home that the pub
lie has probably forgotten what the prin-
cipal awards are to be. Sight OF them
will be a 5000 house and lot in one Of
washington's residential sections, four
q. 80 large touring cars Of modern de-
sign, four $50 baby grand pianos. four
$s2I PLAYER pianos. four $40 upright

ching bags. china closets. chiffoniers.. II
brary tables, sectional bookcases. statu-
AIRY. pictures. lace curtains. jewelry. and
scores Of other articles. There will be
total Of $50 awards, valued at an assre-
gate of $4,000.
On Friday and Saturday. November
and 2, Tho Advocate will repeat the free
distribution of votes that the contestants
greeted with such enthusiasm during the
opening days Of tho contest headquarters
There were 20 many friends OF the con-
testants who were unable to take ad-
vantage Of Advocates liberal onsr. that
he has decided to give them the oppor-
tunity to show their zeal In support OF
their faverites. Each contestant who
visits the contest building and registers
with The Advocate will Be given 100 free

The Comptroller Of the Currency yes
terday issued a statement showing the
condition Of savings banks in the United
States. The statement shows there Is
an average savings deposit Of $4A for
every working man in the country, who
has a savings account. The average
increase in savings accounts during the

As the issuance Of q statement con-
cerning savings banks is foreign to the

Peaches may be very easily can

with sugar.
The fresh peel Of grapefruit, or
anges or lemons may be candied nice

all the pulp and the thin membrane

How to Wear Flowers.

The long flower. worn by itself or
with one or two others. is always far
more artistic than the tight bunch, so
one can we'll understand the deter
mined effort to bring back again this
arrangement more like the old fash
toned masculine buttonhole than any
thing else. just for change.
Most women appreciate this change.
for the little stiff bouquet if not natu-
raj looking. is at least tremendously
smart. For day wear it is appropri-
ate. especially in these days Of ubiqui-
tous coats and skirts or long paletots.
Many women never cared for the
tumbing artistic sheaf or single
branch worn with outdoor attire. GER
tainly not for walking.
For evening wear the hard" bOu-
quet is not overattractive unless it is
absolutely lin the picture with a GER
tain hard" type of gown. One bios
som with it's own foliage. if possible.
growing with its personal bud and
leaves all on its own natural stalk, Is
the ideal flower.
