are counted on august y.
Some Washington girl Is going
to make a delightful and educa-
tional trip to Chicago and attend
the wonderful Pageant of Progress
there at the expense Of The Wash
ington Times and readers OF this
newspaper are already lining ap to
support their favorites.
A goodly number OF Washington
girls have already entered their
names and photographs in the con-
test and all of them are known to
be actively at work in quest Of
votes.
Look on today's Picture Page
and see the photographs Of the six
latest entrants. II you think they
are typical Washington girls you
can vote for them. II you like. and
II you do not. you can send in pho
tographs of girls you believe to
be more typical.
Today Is the day for Washington
girls to send in their photographs
and be sure they are good ones
that will do you justice when they
are published. Those who have al
ready entered the contest have a
slight margin over those who delay
sending in their names and photo
graphs. but the lead is not such
that it cannot be overcome by later
entrants. But, girls, remember this.
the longer you postpone getting into
this interesting contest the more
you will handicap yourself. because
you will be allowing the earlier
entrants to steal a march on you.
Aside from the fact that Chicago
is one OF the most wonderful cities
in America and that the Pageant Of
Progress is well worth journeying
! 1000 miles TO see, there Is the e-ad-
ditional incentive for a girl TO cap
ture the honor of being selected as
the typical feminine representative
of the National Capital.
In addition to that. the winner Of
The Washington Times Typical
Girl Contest will be matched against
typical girls from all the other large
cities in the United States and will
have the opportunity to compete for
the honor of being the typical Amer
lean girl-about the final goal to
which a girl could aspire.
Send in your own photograph or
the photograph of a girl you think
typical Of femininity in Washing
ton. II you enter the contest urge
your relatives and friends to cast
their votes for you. II you nominate
friend. stick by her and line up
every possible ballot you can for
her.
