Benefited by Contest. As the winners in the eight local districts have received their prizes, letters of thanks come flowing into The Star, testifying to the great good which the oratorical contest, sponsored by The Star in this city, has done and is doing. Miss Ruth Craven of the Holy Cross Academy, winner in the eighth district. Which comprised the parochial and Drivate schools, writes: “Today the sister superior presented me with The Star's award to the winner of district eight.

The oratorical contest has made every high school ®irl among us a 100 per cent consti- tutionalist. Being a Washingtonian, 1 shall probably see The Evening Star many evenings for many years to come, but I'll never see it without feeling all over again the sensation 1 experienced when my first hundred- dollar bands!" Miss Miley has written as follows: “I wish to express my thanks and deep appreciation to The Star for one hundred dollars which I have re- ceived as the winner of the oratorical contest in division one. “I feel that we, the pupils of the Business High School, have been greatly benefited by this contest, in- check was placed in my asmuch as it has aroused an even keener interest in the study of the American Constitution, and that from this study we have become more in- timately acquainted with the funda- mental rights, privileges and duties of American citizens. Gratitude Is Voleed. “As the successful competitor from " this division, and as a pupil of the Busginess High School who has been inspired by this contest, I do most sincerely thank you." A letter has been received from Rozier Gaddis, winmer at the Arm- strong School, who was awarded $100 sterday in the presence of the hool. "Mr. Gaddis said: “In ac- knowledging the receipt of your check for $100 as winner of The Star's oratorical contest in this district I wish to express my personal grati Flannel Dresses Originally $16.50 to $25.00 *8.50 tude to The Evening Star for making it possible. I intend to use my re- ward in furthering my education, to- ward which end I have already begun to save.” Pupils of the secondary schools here who took part in the contest have been much interested in the words of President Coolidge regarding the Constitution. He has declared: “The Constitution of the United States is the final refuge of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure. Whenever it falls into disrespect or disrepute, the end of or- derly, organized government, as we have known it for more than 12§ years, will be at hand. “The Constitution represents a gov- ernment of law. There is only one other form of authority, and that is a government of force. Americans must make their choice between these two. One signifies justice and lib- erty, the other tyranny and oppres- THE ISSUES FRAUD ORDER. New Holds Loan Company Violates Postal Law.

Sion, To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.” Will You Aid This Plan to End War? In the cvent of a declaration of war, the prclerty, equally with the persons, lives, and Liberties of all citi- zens, shall be subject to conscription for the defense of the Nation, and s shall be the duty of the President to propose and of Congress to enact the legislation neces- sary to give effect to this amendment. Above is a summary of The Christian Science Monitor's Peace Plan, designed to render war as repellant to everyone as it is to those who fight, and thus make war less probable. This plan has called forth nation-wide approval In Wash- ington, an amendment to the Constitution, providing that money and property, as well as men, be drafted in time of war, as advocated in the Monitor's Peace Plan, has been recom- mended to the House Military Affairs Committee by Curtis D. ‘Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, also spoke in favor of mobilizing capital as well as men in the event of war, as a means of making war less probable. The Christian Science Monitor publishes this plan today, May 8 This issue also contains ballots which will enable all readers to express their views. Copies of this Monitor will be available tomorrow, Friday, May 9, at Washington newsstands, hotels and Christian Science Reading Rooms.
