because a larger share OF its trade Is

that the Beauty Editor is not overrun

Washington women. 1t means that The
Times has opened this contest to every
beautiful young woman in the National
Capital and the greater number Of
photographs submitted the greater the
honor the winner will receive and the
better satisfied everybody will be. The
Beauty Editor has scores Of pictures In
his office. but this town has no short
age of beautiful women and he would
like to see every attractive girl in
Washington entered before the end OF
the contest.
The rivalry already is keen among the
many contestants; it's grows keener
each day as fresh consignments Of pic
lures reach this newspaper.
Photographs Returned.
The Beauty Editor desires to state for
the benefit Of several who have ques-
toned him by letter and telephone, as
we'll as for the general information of
prospective contestants, that the sub
mission Of photograph does not mean
that you part ownership with that
photograph. After the contest all pic
lures will be returned to their senders,
except in cases where return is not de-
sired. The pictures are being carefully
retained by the Beauty Editor for tho
present. At the close Of entries they
will be submitted to the judges.
After the award all photographs of
the winner and the losers will be re-
turned to The Times. and within a

Beauty Is Requisite.
Answering several inquiries, the
Beauty Editor again states that beauty
alone is the requisite in this contest.
There Is to be no semblance of favorit-
ism; the Judges will be impartial and
capable men and women-drawn from
the artistic circles of Washington-and
their award will be devoid OF personal
preference. A girl wholly unknown to
