conducted by this newspaper.
The three best letters, the writers
Of which have been awarded cash
prizes. are now In the hands OF the
judges Of the national contest, and
are being considered along with
letters received from contestants In
other cities.

test IL a trip around the world on
the Red Star liner Belgenland; Sec
ond, a choice of trip to Holly
wood, Cal. or Miami, Fla; third, a
trip to Hollywood or Miami, ac-
cording to the second winners
choice. In each instance, the win
ner will be allowed to take along
a companion whose expenses also
will be paid by the national
judges.
Picked on Merit Only
The judges in The Washington
Times contest selected the prize
winners solely on the merits of
their essays and kept constantly in
mind the thought that 1T was their
duty to select local winners who
would have a chance of winning
one or all of the national prizes.
The judges believe that the three
best essays. published in full in
The Washington Times today,
ought to give the contestants in
other cities a close run for the ma
tional prizes.
This announcement of the win.
ners was due almost a week ago,
but it could not be made any
sooner for two good reasons.
First, there were about 1000
essays submitted by persons in all
walks of life in all parts of Wash
ington and nearby suburbs, and a
ajOrity of them were written
with pen and ink-and some in
pencil-which materially slowed up
the reading.
The second reason for the delay
was the fact that all OF the essays
were OF such a high quality that
the judges had the utmost diff.
Guilty in narrowing the field down
and making the final decisions.
In some of the other cities where
leading newspapers conducted the
contest simultaneously with The
Washington Times. the number of

TOKYO, Sept. 4.-The meals

Fattesing Kale gets back. Fat

having Travelled 10000 miles to
study the culinary arts of the
world so that rare dishes may

banquets given by the Indian
potentate. He has been travel

back to India until some time
in 1926.
According to Kale, the hotels
in Switzerland are the best in
the world. American hotels are
luxurious but are so huge and
so busy that they cannot give
the personal attention to guests
that is a feature of the Swiss
hostelries.
