Fair Winner of Advocate Contest Proves Women Not All Bone Drys; "Spigot-Bigot" Best Suggests "Die Hard" Variety

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Miss Katherine Greene Welling of New York City contributed the prize word "Spigot-Bigot" to the Advocate "Dry" Contest and, as a result, receives the $26 prize and the degree of "Summa cum Laude."

From some five-hundred letters submitted in the contest, the Editors finally succeeded in selecting the one that best suggested an "unalterable, die-hard dry." One letter presented even four type written pages of suggestive words with their applications.

In view of the large number of good contributions the Editors further extended the contest and presented the degrees of "Magna cum Laude" and "Cum Laude" to those who offered such expressions as "Puritank," "Camelouse," "Cooktail-Fles," and "Jug-Buster."
