CLARENDON WOMAN
HAS PERFECT SCORE.
Mrs. Grace King Wins Rolling
Pin Contest at Food
Show.

Mrs Grace King, diminutiye Claren-
don housewife, brought a rare ability
across the Potomac River last night to
win honors and reward with her deadly
aim in the District Grocery Society
Food Shows rolling-pin throwing con-
test. She struck an eff1gy Of man
three times in three consecutive aims.
Tonight's contest will revert from the
comic back to the artistic, when boys
over 16 years of age compete in solo
dance contest for SIS .,old piece.
Mrs. King, the rolling-pin champion,
who lives at 602 Fcrk Lane avenue in
the Virginia community, entered the
contest handicapped by stature and
poundage in favor of several of her 10
fellow contenders in the hubby-spank-
ing event. Each of the women let ny
a rolling pin at the dummy, 20 feet
away. Those who struck his head on
the first heave threw again. Mrs. King
was among the second-blow contest
ants, and when the third pin was
thrown by the remaining women, Mrs.
Kings was the only roller to crash into
its battered mark. The audience
cheered her prowess and she was pre-
scented with a basket of food.
Another little girl was victor IN yes
terday afternoons happiest youngster
competition. She was 1T-months-old
Mary Kathryn Adams of 1923 Madison
street. BY far the tiniest of the daily
winners, little Mary Kathryn won by
virtue of sheer cuteneSS and vivacious
expression. A novelty was introduced
in the contest when 5-year-old Jack
Kay, son of the president of the Dis
trict Grocery Society, presented the
award to the little winner as master of
ceremonies. Jack was dressed in the
traditional high hat and frock coat and
he won almost as much applause as the
little prima donna herself.
