All Find Many Admirers
Among Entrants in The
News-Times Contest.

Hitler Kriegbaum was awarded
the first prize IN the contest for the
best selection and answer to the
question of the comparative merits
of seven American women.
Each of these women found adj
mirers among those who submitted-
answers admirers with sound and
'strong sentimental and patriotic rea-
sons for their selections.
In numbers, Mrs. Stowe was the
favorite. Had the judgment been
rendered upon the ardor of the ad-
vocates, the honors would have gone
to Betsy Ross. The answers from
the men were divided, numerically,
between PocohOntas. Mrs Stowe and
Dolly Madison.
The variety of the answers proves
the soundness of the great Ameri-
can heart, which reverences all the
virtues, pays tribute TO sacrifice in
behalf of ideals. and holds an ad-
miration for every quality that goes
to shape its aims and its destinies.
The selection of the winners was
made by Miss Mabel Beck of the
history department of the High
school.
The choice was difficult among
so many meritorious contributions"
said Miss Beck, concerning the
awards
In reaching the decision the first
consideration was. Of course, his
torical accuracy and a studious an
alysis of the sources Of greatness. I
felt that the awards should go 10
those who not only had a strong
reason for their selection. but a rea-
son based upon knowledge Of facts.
The other qualifications Of lit
erary merit, ingenuity Of reasoning,
depth Of sentiment and patriotic i'm
/ pulse were all considered in choOs-
ing those to whom the prizes go.
The large number of entrants
and the limited time in which COM
/ parsons could be made has possibly
! permitted some injustices to creep
into the list and it is possible that a
more mature consideration would
shift some of the selections and their
relative positions upon the list. I
I believe however, that the list Of
those adjudSed the best Of the many
who tried would be the composite
/ Judgment Of any committee which
/ might be formed.
May I add that 7 believe that
/ the contributions themselves prove
! that this contest has aroused many

ties 20 the conference. even in the
face OF the strike call issued late
IN the day at Chicago, but the pur-
pose of the meeting was said in a
white house announcement to be

ed that a soraewhat anomalous sit
uation surrounds the relations OF the

statement added. "The commission
lhas very large powers through its
control Of rates. TO determine what
the revenues of the roads should be

through its authority I'm the matter
of wage determinations. has a very
large power in determining the larg-
est item Of railway expenditures. The
president was therefore impressed
with the desirability OF getting these
two highly potential bodies to-
gether and reaching something like
a definite understanding between
them"

that Chairman Barton Of the board,
