beauty contest in fancy bathing cos
tunes. Many of the men have plan
ned to put on girls bathing suits and
wigs. and with a bit of paint and
powder give take-off on the beaut,
contest"
The stunt will be pulled on at )
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Several
men have promised something out OF
the ordinary in comedy bathing suits.
There will be a censor, of course, and
il is expected that women will act as
judges.
Manager Leech is awarding a silver
cup to the prize beauty and another
for the prize costume"
THE Heard and Seen column of The
Times has had such lot of fun with
the cake-eaters that ! decided to give
them a chance and see If they would
enter a contest. I'm going to ask Bill
Price either to select the judges or
let me know who would be the best
Judges of the cake-eaters," says the
bathing beach manager.

Halt" Says Mounted Cop;
Buy Ball Game Ticket"
Then That c. & c. Feeling

Suppose you were spinning along
the road just entering the District
and you were halted by a mounted
cop, whose horse, standing In the
middle OF the road, barred the way.
And suppose you had been watching
your speedometer nirt with the
speed limit. Or suppose you had a
little liquor In your thermos bottle
or a quart hidden away for me-
dicinal purposes.
Naturally, you would be scared,
not to say awed, by the sentinel at
the District line who held up scores
OF automobiles on one Of the eastern
city gates yesterday.
When he had halted you and then
asked IL you cared to buy a couple
OF tickets for the policemen's bene-
Mt ball games next Saturday,
wouldn't you have that grand and
glorious" feeling and mayhap buy
a mock OF said tickets?
Many a motorist did that little
thing yesterday.

MORE RIGHTS
New Voters May Band As Sex to
Get Mems Pay, Miss
Paul Says.

Now that men have politically elm
mated the sex line" through the rst'-
fcation OF the Nineteenth Amendment
will women themselves be satished TO
have the line eliminated and come
into the political fold as just voters
with no sex qualifications
The question is given birth through
a statement this morning ~ MISS
Alice Paul. chairman of the National
Woman's Party that woman's work
is just begun, that women must band
together to night for their rights ana
just legislation, and that some CEN
tralized organization OF women Tor
this purpose Is absolutely necessary.
Whether the National Woman's
Party Will continue-or be reorgan-
ized-as this centralized organization,
Miss Paur does not know. The ques-
tion will be taken up. she said, at a
conference to be held in Washington,
the date to be set at a meeting Of tho
executive committee OF the Woman
Party in New York this week.
MAY CONTINUE wOMAN's PARTY.
THE object OF the National Won
ans Party-as' outlined in our Con-
stitution-has been accomplished.
said Miss Paul. THE question which
now arises is whether the organiza-
tion shall continue or whether IL VIII
be declared dissolved. This question
will be decided at the executive com
mittee meeting TO be held in New
York this week"
Miss Paul became indignant over
the suggestion that now that men
have given the women the vote--the
tool with which TO work. and for
which they have been clamoring-
they should be able to bring about
just legislation for women through
the welding of the ballot as "votcrs"
and not OF women"
1T is ridiculous for me to take up
my time answering questions which
are so obvious" she said. when the
railroads want a bill put through, do
they depend upon the ballots of those
men in Congress who might feel that
they should vote for the bill? They
do not They send Hobbies down to
Congress to work for what they want.
THE mere granting of the ballot to
women does not mean that she has
been given her rights. Woman will
never be given her rights until she
receives the same money for the same
amount of work that men receive.
Remedial legislation must be enacted
to correct such conditions as now ex
ist, and such legislation cannot be
enacted unless the enfranchised wom-
en- band together to fight for their
rights as women"
WANT "REAL EMANCIPATION."
Miss Paul says that although 1t is
impossible 10 tell what the executive
committee of the National Woman's
Party will decide to do, il is possible
that the National Woman's Party may
continue in operation to carry on the
work which it has begun-the real
emancipation of woman.
In case the committee should see
At to discontinue the activities of the
woman's party, il is possible, Miss
Paul says. that women's clubs and
societies already formed all over the
country will be asked to take up the
question of just legislation for wom
en-. In this way there could be ac-
complished, Miss Paul says, perhaps
the same results that could be
achieved by the functioning of a
centralized woman's party.
