To insure absolute fairness, no
limit will be placed on the judges
as to the number of candidates to
be summoned to appear in person
for the final selection. This was
deemed advisable because of the
large number of exceptionally beau
tiful women who have submitted
their photographs and the extreme
difficulty Of holding the preliminary
selections down to any given num-,
Der. The entire matter will be left
in the capable hands Of the judges
after the photographs are submitted.

No Effort Involved
In making the selection of Miss

nor effort Of any kind involved
The idea Is to determine who h
the prettiest and most attractive

was felt that this could not be done
in a competition involving a popu-
larity contest. nor by voting. Merit
alone Is to count. and the photo
graphs are to go to the artists max

everyone on an equal footing.
The only requirement Is to sub
nit photograph to The Herald.
OF call at The Herald Once SO that
arrangements may be made to have
one taken. All Of Miss Washing
toms" expenses will be paid while
in Atlantic City. as will the ex
pense Of her chaperone.
While the fortunate young woman
who will win the distinction in all
likelihood possesses an adequate
wardrobe. several additions will be
made to IL by generous Washington
merchants, who are extremely de-
sirous that Miss Washington" be
the smartest dressed woman on the
Boardwalk.
At Atlantic City Miss Washing
ton" will be feted. entertained and
made to feel that her selection Is
an honor not only unto herself bur
TO the great city which she repro
sents.
Under the plan of the pageant
committee, officials of Atlantic
City and the leading hotel and busi-
ness men on whom success of the
pageant rests, Miss Washington

afternoon OF September s with her
chaperone. Greeted at the station on
