THE BVENING STAR. WASAINGTON, D. €. THURSDAY. MARCH 15, 19%% 3 L Big S50 °° prize contest closed last night s Thousands of letters, received in the big $500.00 prize contest, must be opened for the judges OUSEWIVES in and around Wash- ington are today on tip-toe with excitement and suspense. The big $500.00 Prize Contest in which so many of them have entered letters stating their reasons for using’ Rice’s Bread, closed last night at mid- night. And now today every contestant is wondering whether her letter will win one of the prizes. Nothing of this kind that has ever been done in this vicinity has aroused a higher degree of interest. ‘In addition to the thousands of women who have entered letters in the hope of winning one of the prizes for themselves as individuals, numerous members of churches, clubs and societies are com- peting in the hope of being able to make a substantial contribution to their church or organization treasuries. Ever since the contest was announced on February 12th and 13th, letters have been pouring into the offices of the Rice Bakery by the hundreds and thousands. Today the judges and their assistants are facing literally a mountain of mail. Each letter will, however, be consid- ered with as much care as if it alone had been entered for the contest. They will be judged by three prominent women, each one of whom was selected because of her specialized knowledge of the sub- jeet of health and nutrition. Look for the announcement of the prize winners next week. Your name may be on the list.
