only the boardwalk parade
and the television show and

in scholarships put up by q

Time was, back in the un-
complicated '20s, when a
beauty won her crown by
prancing down a wooden run
way in a bathing suit
and submitting her specifica-
tions to the scrutiny Of tape
measure welding judges.
Now, with industry and ag-
riculture moving in on the
beauty scene In a big way,
not only have tape measures
been banned (the Miss Amer
lea pageant doesn't even
challenge the measurements
on a girls application), but
the queens wear q variety of
oduct-identifying robes,
ranging from a wine cask
for Miss Vim Blanc to a
bunch of discreetly placed Or
anges for Miss Citrus, and
are chosen in a number Of
novel and intricate ways.

mondback rattler.
The Judging
The Miss America pageant
still promenades its contest
ants in q bathing suit. but
makes amends by giving
equal points for evening
gown judging and twice as
many points for the talent
demonstration.
The Maid Of Cotton con-
test, the most sedate of all,
is judged in private. far from
the eyes Of leering males.
Not so the Queen of Bur-
lesque, who is picked on the
hoof by a vote Of the bald
headed row in % burlesque
houses across the land.
The Miss Rheingold con-
test, sponsored by New York's
Leibmann Brewery and worth
$4,000 in modelling fees to
the winner, is democratically
judged by beer drinkers with
in a 100-mile radius Of New
York who are invited to stuff
the ballot box at their local
tavern in behalf of their ia
vorite lager lass. Last year
the contest counted 20 mil
lion votes, more than 20 times
as many as were cast in the
recent mayoralty primary
starring Mayor Wagner
against Tammany Hall.
The boom of beauty queens
into a million dollar indus
try and their proliferation
into every strata Of society
would have come as a shock
to one Franklin P. Stoy. Back
in 1902, as Mayor of Atlantic
City, he stoutly refused to
pick the prettiest girl in the
annual boardwalk floral pa
rade.

They're all pretty" he de-
INJURED and instead picked
the most decorous rolling
chair. Mayor Stoy's reserva-
tions about offending the los
ers postponed the start Of

til 1921, when 16-year-old
Margaret German. q vision
in shoulder-length curls, knee
high stockings and q Key
