FAME IS SHORT LIVED;
Miss AMERICA SUPREME
UNTIL SUCCESSOR NAMED
PRIZE BEAUTIES MEET VARIOUS
FATES AFTER LEAVING
THE THRONE

Women and girls don't get a thrill
anymore when they walk into d GER
tain beauty shop in Oakland, Cal, and
buy a bottle Of perfume from the
pretty young woman behind the coun-
ter. A year ago, though, they were
just as likely to walk into tbs store
for the sensation Of being waited
upon by the most beautiful girl in
the United States as to purchase fin
cry.
A year ago the young wamon be-
hind the counter-none other than
Fay Lamphier herself-was "Miss
America" Today another girl is the
queen Of beauty.
So Fay conducts her beauty shop
and boasts goo dincome. But the
country has almost forgotten her in
worshipping her successor.
All the world loves lover-and a
queen Of beauty until another takes
her place, it seems.
Beauty Still Brings Dollars
Miss Ruth Malcolmson, adjudged
the most beautiful girl in Philadel-
phia, skipped over to Atlantic City,
in 1924 and matched her charms
against those of hundreds of other
beauties from all corners of the Unit
ed States. The judges decided she
was the most beautiful. She was
crowned "Miss America" for that
year.
Miss Malcolmson, who made her
first money by posing at the keys of
a typewriter after she won the beauty
crown, still is cashing in on her
charms. She choose the role Of an
appearing at banquets
and entertainments in many parts of
the country. Miss Malcolmson still

"This action on the part of the
presidents Of these leading educa-
tional institutions of the South, indi-
Gates their high regard for the value
of the training given at the Citizens
Military Training Camps, and their
desire to enroll as students the high
class of young men who attend these
camps" Colonel Phinney said.
In regard to the enrolment for the
Citizens Military Training Camps,
Colonel Phinney stated: Zone state
has already submitted applications for
sixty per cent of its quota, and there
has been actually accepted and as
signed to one camp fifty three per
cent of the camp allotment.
Only those young men who receive
their letters of acceptance and as
signment can be sure of the privilege
of attending the camps this summer"

In 1926 tens Of thousands of men,
women and children from all parts
Of the United States journeyed to At

evening gowns.

Norma Was a College Girl
Norma was a college girl when she
went to Atlantic City. After she ar
rived back at Tulsa, and the applause
of the city had ended she pondefed
whether to continue her schooling or
to accept offers of vaudeville con-
tracts. She chose the latter.

she WY leave the stage in another

no desire for permanent career on
the stage, she explains. Vaudeville
was lust good way of financing her
education.
But in another year the country
probably will begin to forget Norma

rule, for

Mary Katherine Campbell, of Co.
lumbus, o., is the only girl who was
twice adjudged the nations beauty
prize, wearing the crown of Miss
America" in 1922 and 1923.
Fame This Girl's Fortune
Miss Campbell spurned offers that
would have made her a fortune on
the vaudeville stage. Today she is
a student in the Ohio State College
for Women. She dreams of teaching
school some day. Her mail isn't
heavy with proposals of marriage any
more. It's been four years since she
was queen of beauty.
Justine Johnson won a $1,000
beauty prize in California not so
many years ago. She did not take
part in a national tournament, how
ever.
Miss Johnson's fame has been her
fortune. Paul Helleu, the artist, de-
clared that Justine was the most beau
tiful woman in America. She con-
scented to pose for portrait by him.
Miss johnson went into the movies
and became a star. Today, though,
her name seldom blazes in the white
lights.
Little Norma Niblock, a Canadian
Lass, was adjudged the most beauti-
full girl in Toronto, Canada. Unof-
ficially she was hailed as the Ameri-
can Beauty Queen" Shyly she ad
mitted she never used lipstick and
seldom applied face powder. For
awhile she attracted much attention.
But now, who knows where she is, or
what she is doing?
Kathryn Ray, blonde beauty, was
barred from the national beauty con-
test in Atlantic City because she is
professional beauty. She is a stage
star in New York City. Miss Ray
still is drawing a fat salary and is
popular.

became popular motion picture
star. Her income is big enough to
enable her to spend her vacations in
Paris, France, and other cities of Eu
rope.
In the movies and on the stage are
scores more beauties-but most of
them have come from the ranks of |
those who lost in the beauty compe-
titions in Atlantic City. Incidentally,
many of these girls obtained their
present positions simply because they |
refused to go back home to be pointed |
out as not the most beautiful girl in
The country.
Beauty launched Miss Charlotte
Nash, of St. Louis, on a tempestuous
sea of matrimony. Miss Nash, the |
prize beauty of St. Louis, insured her
antic City in 1928. She won second
limples for 100000 and went to At
place in the contest. She also even

One of the judges, Fred Nixon
a multi-millionaire thea

Nash the beauty crown. He fell in

dollars to train Miss Nash to become

a 2OS 5 miles an hour at Daytona
Reach. Florida. on Tuesday, March
10Th. Major Segrave's ear was equip
ned with Dunlop tires throughout.
MS wheels were making 30 revolu-
rions second. That is, every inch
of ms tires was taking the hammer
ing Of three ton weight 30 times a
second. As a piece of iron becomes
red hot with constant .hammering, the
tires generate heat under the strain.
Dunlop tires proved strong enough
to withstand the strain and light
enough to keep from generating too
much heat.
Nine miles of Daytona's great
beach, the fastest speedway in the
world, had been cleared for the race
against time. Checkers stood at the
fourth and fifth mile posts waiting.
The roar of the giant Sunbeam in
creased and almost turned into thun-
der as a moment later it crashed past
the starting post, bounding comet
with tail of flying sand and smoke.
1t took four miles to slow it down
when it passed the finishing post
few seconds later.
Major Segrave's record mile is the
fastest miles that anything ever has
travelled on earth. Only bullets and
aeroplanes, and the latter only on
rare occasions, has exceeded this
speed, speed twice faster than that of
an arrow in flight, two and one half
times faster than golf ball on a long

lean drive. Had the car been
A mile high it would not attain such
speed until at the end of the fall.

3D OFFENDER TAKEN 1 IN RAID BY O'MARA
Sleuth Gets Evidence by Using Football Tactics

Sergeant Patrick J. O'Mara repairing establishment at 65 Smalley street about 9 o'clock this morning and arrested the proprie- tor, Michael kopscz. aged 3S, on the charge of violation of the Ii. quor law. He will be arraigned in police court tomorrow morning for the third time on the same charge, having been fined Sl50 and costs on January 9, 1925. and s2o0 and costs with d suspended jail sentence of 30 days on October 29, 1926, ac- cording to the police records. The first time he was arrested he lived on Church street and the last time he lived at the Smalley street ad l. dress, having room in the rear of the shoe repairing shop.
 Last Saturday evening q local young man brought liquor 10 the police station and con pplaincd that his father patronized the Smalley street place quite frequently. He had followed him and prevented him from taking q drink, he said. and konscz had refunded the money he had taken in payment. At that time, according to the complainant, he warned kopscz to discontinue selling liquor
 This morning Sergeant O'Mara was passing the place for the pur- pose of observing the layout for d raid when he saw q man in the shop with glass in his hand, ac- cording 10 the sergoant's report of the raid. Entering by the front door, the sergeant surprised kopscz and the alleged customer and the latter spilled the contents Of a glass on the floor and ran out. The sergeant says he saw kopscz throw a bottle under the counter where charcoal is kept in bags. and when he made q rush to recover ii, kopsc2 attempted to stop him, compelling the sergeant 10 push him out Of the way. The bottle, containing alleged liquor of the lioilie HIdHt klnu, was taken as eVl- dence and the sergeant walked kopscz 10 the police station.
 kopscz apparently has never heard of OMaras prowess as a player on the old Nutmeg football team when he decided to get in the slouth's way 10 prevent seizure of the evidence. The defense crumpled up when O'Mara made his rush and captured the bottle with fly ing tackle

He said he had made the claim Of law in the superior court that the commitment was illegal. Judge Nickerson had permitted extensive testimony to be taken on the point, and that he was frank in repeating it in this hearing as it was imbued with q large amount of work he had done on this case.
 Sensing the criticism of his com mitment of Capewell to the retreat over four years ago, Judge Clark stated this court takes full re- sponsibility for the original commit ment, which was made after full hearing. No undue influence from relatives is recalled and the court has no apology to mako for it's de cision'.
 Mir. Klein then reminded the court that the superior court trial. had brought out the fact that one Of the allenists whose testimony was instrumental in Capowell being committed to the retreat was an officer of the retreat, thus making illegal the commitment Mr Klein stated that the connection ot that ali"nist, Dr. Otto G.

BOSTON BOOK STORES
 ARE FACING TROUBLE
District Attorney Now Intends to Prosecute Without FormaIity

Foley has stiffened his earlier banning of Sinclair Lewis new novel. Elmer Gantry, with the an- nouncement that hereafter vendors must use their own judgment or face legal consequences,
 Booksellers troubles we're aug monted by the further intimation that jail sentences rather than fines would be the rule. and prosecution would not be preceded by the cour- tesy of a notice Of warning.
 The dilemma seemed even greater in view of the fact that when $ number of best sellers recently were cleared from the shelves by vol,+n- tary cooperation with the district attorney, a committee representing tho booksellers took the position that no man could be expected to 'NuA e' VI , t''iHS piiil''i anu cLlti'A for sal, even if he devoted bis time exclusively to the taskN
 To this, however, Foley's letter said:
 T shall expect that your commit tee will hereafter prevent the sale by it's members of books or other publications which violate the pro- visions of the statute by the eXer- CSC of your own sound common sense. If your committee does not do this. shall. of course. be com pelled to take action"
 The penalty is Imprisonment for not more than two years and a fine of not less than SlO0 and not more than s2,Oo0.
