MORE BEAUTIES
IN SEMIFINALS'
ARE REVEALED
Sc introduced In
Winchen Sweeps

Today The Washington Times
introduces another Sc of the Gov
ernment's most beautiful girl
workers-the second section-but
only numerically-of the galaxy of
charmers selected from the nearly
300 entrants by the judges in the
Walter Winchell Sweepstakes. One
hundred and twelve were chosen.
It was planned to = select only
100-but Wolcott Waggaman, dis
tinguished architect and portrait
painter, insisted that two remain
ing after this quota had been Sc
lected simply had to go into the
competitions semifinalS. Then
Robert Gates, Washington por-
trait artist, declared one other
certainly would have to be picked
if the quota was going to be ex-
ceeded, whereupon Miss Gina
Brennan, who certainly knows how
to pick and paint beautiful
women, said she had seen a couple
passed over that really ought to
be considered. When they wound
up, they had picked 112!
AT CAPITOL TOMORROW
The girls, whose names were
printed in yesterdays Times, will
appear in evening dress at the
Capitol Theater stage door at $50
p. m. Wednesday. The girls whose
names appear in today's Times will
appear, in evening dress, at the
stage door of the Capitol Theater
Thursday evening at $3.50.
During the Capitol show George
JesSel will introduce them and
the judges will select from each
group of Sc the five they con-
slider the most beautiful. These
ten will constitute the finalists
from whom will be selected the
Miss Washington who is to be, for
three exciting days and nights,
Walter Winchell'S personal guest
in New York.
If you heard Walters Sunday
night broadcast you girls know he
is practically ION the run" al
ready! The news of the number
of pretty girls entered in the
sweepstakes must have been re-
ported to him, for he almost
begged off from being compelled
to select the most beautiful girl
all by himself! Well, the judges
are standing by.

Engband's Taxes Exceed Ours

T HOPE my American friends also have realized
that when the English people were informed
the other day that their taxes would be raised to
27 per cent on rich and poor alike. they didn't
whine or whimper. They took it on the chin.
England is already taxed higher than we are and,
remember, third of our taxes are spent directly
for the people, to feed them and give them jobs.

a comeback and his brother Paul is
able to pitch at all, frankie Frisch's
Gas House Gang who are tough
enough to win some games on sheer
nerve may wind up on top. Dizzy

There isn't much future ahead

may get results at Cincinnati, but
it would be too much to expect him
to work any wonders in single

lodine-MoIder of Men

Almost everyone has heard that
iodine is the mineral which helps
to prevent that disfiguring en-
largement of the neck, known as
simple goiter. But few people re-
alize that it is the principal con-
stituent of thyroxin, secretion of
the thyroid gland, and that the
thyroid functions normally only
when sufficient iodine is available.
A wide variety of physiological
disorders have been laid to iodine
hunger. Obesity is frequently the
result of thyroid disturbance. Spe-
cialists contend that stubborn skin
diseases are associated with dis
orders of this gland. Many people
are accused of laziness who are
really suffering from thyroid de-
ficiency. And competent authori-
ties claim that the thyroid like
wise influences mental makeup
and emotional tendencies.
Iodine is found chiefly in sea-
food and in fruits and vegetables
grown near the sea. In inland
regions, where soil and water are
poor in iodine, health authorities
frequently add it to the drinking
water. And the use of iodized salt
is also recommended. By these
simple measures, thousands of
growing children can be saved
from the disastrous results of 10
dine deficiency.
In general, it can be said that if
the minerals calcium, phosphorus,
iron and iodine are supplied in
adequate amounts, the other min
erals will be automatically fur
nished.

Iron-King Pin Of Them All

But measured in terms of food essen.
tials, iron is king pin OF them all. 1t
is the supreme element in nutrition
because it is necessary for the fornra.
fion of the hemoglobin or red pigment
in the blood. And it is the hemoglobin
which carries purifying oxygen to every
cell in the body. Recently, it has been
discouered that copper is required for
the proper utilization OF iron.
''Red blooded" is a term un-
derstood by everyone to denote
health and strength, and it is iron
that makes us red blooded. When
your children grow pale and list
less, lose their pep and lack ap-
petite, it is likely that they are
starving for iron. If you become
short of breath and 'pant" when
going up hill, or upstairs, even
though there is nothing wrong
with your heart or lungs, the
chances are that there is INSULT
cient red pigment in the blood
not enough to take up an adequate
supply of oxygen and carry it to
the millions of cells throughout
the body.
There is no excuse for cheating
yourself or your children of a full
measure of iron, for this mineral
can easily be obtained from liver,
egg yolk, whole grain cereals. mo-
lasses, dried fruits, dried peas and
beans, nuts, lean meats and green
vegetables.

bits and analyze. the pieces, he
would find at least Is chemical
elements, and possibly traces
of several others.
In addition to oxygen, carbon,
hydrogen and nitrogen, the body
contains a wide variety of mineral
materials, which are necessary to
it's proper functioning-and even
to life itself. The list includes
calcium, phosphorus, potassium,
sulphur, sodium, chlorine, magne-
SUM, iron, manganese, iodine and
copper. All these substances must
be furnished to the growing child
through food and drink-and
generous amounts must also be
supplied daily in the diet of adults,
to replace the minerals that are
constantly being used up.

A Splendid Service"
for Floors

Floors receive rougher treat
ment than any other part of the
homeland it is floors that show
up to poorest advantage when
neglected-best advantage, when
properly cared for! Up to now,
attractive floors have required
some little time and attention, but
this is no longer necessary. For
into the field of domestic prepara-
tons. has come s.self-polishing
wax liquid-smooth, simple to
apply, lovely to see. This remark
able preparation goes on easily,
quickly, and dries in 20 minutes!
It's results are 4-fold: The floors
are protected-they are preserved
they stay freshly-clean longer
and they are beautified! A quality
self-polishing wax protects and
preserves, by forming a film over
the surface-hard enough to with
stand friction and grinding wear
and-tear. It induces floors to stay
clean longer, because dirt and
grease cannot become imbedded
in the wood. It beauties, be-
cause it is shimmering, transpar-
ent, and brings out the natural
beauty of the wood. And what
more could the home-maker ask
for? There are, however, various
qualities of self-polishing wax
available. Only the best should
be used, for both the appearance
and condition of the floors. But
the finest self-polishing wax is a
joy to use-its lasting results a
joy to see!

Calcium-Cap+ain Of Minerals


Calcium deserves it's ranking
position as the captain of the min
erals, because it builds the bones,
or body framework. And the bony
skeleton is to the human being
what steel is to building. Cal
cium is also the chief constituent
of the teeth and upon healthy
teeth rests the health of the diges-
tive system and, in turn, the en-
tire body. For food that is improp-
erly masticated is imperfectly di-
gested and fails to nourish prop
erly.
About SO per cent of the calcium
in the body is found in the teeth
and bones. If the body does not
receive an adequate supply of this
mineral in prenatal life and dur
ing the growing years, the bones
will be porous, distorted and cas-
lily broken, and the teeth will de-
velop cavities and eventually may
fall out.
In addition to being the princi-
pal material for making and
maintaining the bones and teeth,
calcium increases the strength
and pulsations of the heart and
helps the blood coagulate in case
of injury, thus keeping you and
your loved ones from bleeding to
death. That is why an extra sup
ply of calcium is fed to patients
just before an operation.

the short end of z to odds against
Tommy Farr. Everybody expected
him to take a licking. Instead he
pounded out decisive victory.
Max has been called "the man
who could fight but wouldn't" He
apparently wanted to fight the night
he met Farr. 1t was his battle all
the way. He slammed Farr to the
canvas three times in fifteen rounds.
Joe Louis and Jim Braddock weren't
able to put Tommy down once.
Winning back the prestige he lost
when he was so ingloriously beat
en- by Joe Louis two years ago, Baer
showed he could take it as well as
dish it out. Farr hit Baer aplenty.
Max's left eye was completely
closed before the fight ended. But
his immunity to punishment bears
out Joe Louis contention that he hit
Baer harder than he had ever hit
any other man and still couldn't
knock him out. You will recall
that Max took the route of techni-
cal knockout that time.
So Max is now on the way back.
He did more than pull himself level
with Schmeling in the heavyweight
runner-up class in taking the de-
cision over Farr,

is difficult to muster enthusiasm
about them as a pennant winner.
Yet they cannot be dismissed. I'm
doubtedly Charlie Grimm has the
best-balanced team in the league.
1t is still a young team, compare
lively speaking.
The Cub Outfield was the vulner-
able spot last year, but it looks as
if this might now be solved with
Joe Marty doing a smart job in CEN
ter and Carl Reynolds standing
ready to help Demaree and Galan.
Spring reports indicate an improved
pitching staff. The presence of Tony
Lazzeri should help.

Speeding of Sports
Same Old Four
Will Fight for
National Flag
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY
XX/HEN the front runners of
w the spring baseball season
have petered out and the morn
ing glory rockies who looked
like the reincarnation of Ty
Cobb have folded, the National
league pennant race will settle
down to a dog fight among the
same contenders who battled it
out in 1887.
Four teams-the New York Gil
ants, Chicago Cubs, st. Louis Cardi-
nails and the Pittsburgh Pirates
again will hold the balance OF power
in the senior circuit. How they will
rank in the final standings is any
body's guess, but all four will hold
berths in the first division, leaving
the Boston Bees, Brooklyn Dodgers,
Cincinnati Reds and the Phillies to
scramble for positions in the second
division.
The race will probably be close,
as usual, but not in the sense that
p0werhOuse ball clubs will be in
volved. The standard of play should
be about the same as last year,
and that wasn't anything to brag
about considering what happened to
the National league team in the
All-Star game and later to the PEN
nant-winning Giants in the world
series when they met the Yankees.

Calcium Builds Will Power

There is close relationship be.
tween calcium and sound, healthy
nerves. And this precious sub
stance likewise helps us to con-
centrate mentally-it strengthens
our will poweA- and assists us in
acquiring that "do or die" attitude
toward life, which is essential in an
age when we must all struggle OF
60 under.
Yet despite its importance, it is
estimated by that outstanding au.
th0rity, Henry C. Sherman, Pro.
fessor of Nutrition at Teachers
College, Columbia University, that
0ne-half of the American people
even those with plenty of money
are literally starving for calcium,
because they do not know the food
sources of this vitality important

best medicine Joe had had. He got

indispensable Phosphorus

Like calcium, phosphorus is re-
quired by the body in relatively
large amounts, and like calcium,
it is especially important in the
diet of children, because it is de-
posted in the bones, along with
calcium, as calcium phosphate.
Phosphorus is indispensable for
all the active tissues in the body
and plays an important part in
regulating the neutrality of the
blood. 1t can be obtained from
whole grain cereals, eggs, dried
beans, cheese, lean meats, and
root and leafy vegetables.
