SEATTLE Is HIT HARD

SEATTLE, Dec. Flu. P.)-The
"Prettiest Girl" contest craze has hit
Seattle hard. Seattle does not like to
Eoast. but perhaps the large numbers
of fair ones in all walks of life here
are responsible.
For some time Seattle newspaper
has been conducting ''prettiest wait
ross" contest, the photographs of tn"
possibilities" being run daily. Before
the contest ends the judges will have
interviewed personally those candl-
dates whose photographs they have
decided are worthy of consideration
for highest honors. After the inter
views the winner will be picked.
Not desiring to be left out of the
lime-l light three "Penny-Arcade Girls"
have asked that contest be started
for the "Prettiest Penny-Arcadian.'
The contest is promised for the near
future as soon as the Mattresses can be
served and tipped.
Other Prettiest contests suggested
are for Telephone girls. Manufacturing
girls, stenographers, and elevator
girls. In the case of the hello girls
some difficulty may he encountered as
ii is contended that their voices, not
their faces, are their fortunes.

TEXAS MAY ADOPT
NEW CONSTITUTION

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. ETA. P)--
A Constitutional convention. radical
changes in state tax laws and the
educational system, reclamation and
flood control. alteration of highway
laws and relocation of the state pris-
on, are among the matters that will
come before the Texas Legislature at
its January meeting, according to
statements from leaders of the two
branches.
The attorney general already has
prepared a measure for the creation
of new constitution. designed TO
replace the present one written in
1Sf6.1}DD ,I9.t
Proposed changes in the state tax
laws are due to deficiency in the
general revenue fund this year at
times amounting to more than two
million dollars. Many Texas schools
may be forced TO close early next
spring because of the shortage of
state funds. An emergency appro-
priation and an increase in state all
lotment for the schools are advocat-
ed.
Separation of the state banking
and insurance departments has been
endorsed by the state bankers. asso-
citation and other statewide bodies
Flood control measures are advised
