other.
The people Of Washington cannot
afford to let this challenge to their
refinement, If not their morality, pass
unnoticed.
! Mr.. Fowler. now, in . further ef-
fort to meet the Washington taste,
, has engaged Madge Kennedy, the de-
lightful comedienne Of stage and
screen, for the leading woman OF the
Belasco Players. and, 1t Is announced,
1t is his purpose to present her in

thus far to improve his company and
his productions where he found the
opportunity, and he states that 1t Is
still his intention to do all that is
humanity possible to give Washington
a stock season of which 1t may be
proud.
Washington surely will not be lax

For long time, the chamber OF

Legion men took up the proposition,
the busy ring Of hammers of carpen-
tiers was soon heard and the slide soon
became a matter of fact. One of the
first to make the trip down the long

pine-clad country. The slide was con-
structed under direction of Prof.
Charles Proctor of Dartmouth college,

ESSAY CONTEST IS
NOW IN PROGRESS

Inc third annual essay contest of
the American Legion began April
with the chosen subject, "Why Com
munlsm Is Menace to Americanism. ;"
Ihls contest, conducted by the Ameri-
canism commission of the Legion. is
helo annually with view of enlisting
q majority of thought in the direction
OF some vital question facing Americas
citizenship.
Heretofore the contest has closed in
the fall, but in order to coincide the
work with that of the school year Gar
land w. Powell, director of the Le-
gion's Americanism commission, decid-
ed to open the contest in the spring and
close it with the completion of school
terms.
According to Mr.. Powell, 10000
school children participated in me last
contest held by the Legion, which took
DIS Its subject, 'Why America Should
Prohibit immigration for Five Years."
A previous contest conducted by the
Legion enlisted efforts of 100000 chill
dren, who submitted essays on the sub
ject How the American Legion Can
Best Serve the Ma, m
Each of the subjects chosen reflects
some phase of American Legion activ-
ity and the Legion view of such poll
cies. The Legion believes that by
bringing the subject before the chill
dren Of the nation 1t can cause q dis
cussion in many American homes that
will be of vital import to the welfare
Of America.
Prizes aggregating 81, 500 are award
ed the winners. The best essayist re-
ceives $3.50 in cash, to be applied as a
scholarship in any school, college or
university he may designate. Second
receives $500 and third $3.50, each for
scholarships. The essays are chosen
by elimination. Beginning with the
county superintendent of schools in
each county, who selects local judges,
the three most representative essays
are sent on to judges designated by the
state superintendent superintendent
of public instruction or school commits
sion. These judges pass on the three
best essays submitted In the state.
The winning essay from each state is
sent into national competition, from
which are chosen the three winners by
a committee of judges selected by the
Legion. Posts frequently give medals
and awards to winners in their own
counties, state departments of the Lee
gion provide medals for the three
winning essayists there and the cash
awards are made by the national
judges.
The cooperation of practically every
educational official in the country has
been afforded the Legion since these
contests have been instituted. In adj
dition, educational bodies and organi-
cations have accorded the Legion a
great amount of help. Efforts have
been made this year through some Of
the nations largest fraternal bodies to
concentrate the efforts of school chill
dren in the contest.
