Competition On Last Week.
Today marks the turn of the COM
petition into its last. week. The
National Pictorial News will en-
deavor to make the final Aim some
indication Of the quality of beauty
which the competition has brought
forth. The difficulty of finding
beauties who appear well on the
screen, who have the necessary
qualities of poise and naturalness,
will naturally be less evident dur
ing the final week. when the num-
Der of photographs submitted will
be practically doubled.
Both the numbers of those who
wish to appear in the films and tho
peculiar limitations of personality
which screen well" will make IL
impossible for Crawford and Carter
to photograph every young woman
who applies. This announcement Is
made regretfully. and only after
the absolute necessity of such a de-
cision was certain.
Now that the final week Of the
competition has dawned. 1t is i'm
perative that the portraits received
by The Herald be kept accurate ac-
count of. so that there may be no

pointment photographs should be

The judges will meet as soon as
possible. perhaps on the next day.
to consider the photographs. The
utmost care will be taken in the
selection of the ten most beautiful
young women. to see that no possi-
BILE Miss Washington" is over
looked.
When the final decision on Miss
Washington will be made Is not
known. 1t will be made with all
possible promptness, so that Miss
Washington" may have time for her
shopping and for the many affairs
which are being arranged in her
honor. before she starts for At
lantic City on September s.
The nationwide fame of the At
lantic City pageant Is too bright to
need further comment now. With
every day the prospects for the

anv similar affair ever attempted.

the benefits and none of the draw
backs of this expensive holiday. For

cursion into the land of King Nep-
