Women Will Shave Husbands
In Contest at D. C. Food Show
Mrs. Harry Goodman, 219 Upshur street N.W., yesterday
lathered her husband’s jace and obtained a "razor* the size she
would like to use on him.
OMEN who have laughed at
their husbands’ antics be
fore a shaving mirror will
be given an opportunity to
try their own hand at shaving them
' during the course of the District Gro
eery Stores, Inc., tenth annual food
show which will begin tomorrow night
and run throughout next Saturday.
f A shaving contest, with women
ahaving their husbands, beaux or any
man willing to submit to the ordeal,
will be held as a feature event on one
of the evenings of the show, which
' will be in an exhibit hall in the 3600
block of Connecticut avenue N.W.
Any woman will be allowed to use
either a straight or safety razor, ac
cording to her own choice, although
the man to be shaved is expected to
have something to say about the kind
of razor. The winner of the contest is
to be judged through the time taken
to complete the shave and its thor
oughness.
The opening show, to start at 7:30
p.m. tomorrow, will be featured by a
''barnyard contest” on the stage in
one end of the large exhibit hall. The
contest is to be open to all show
patrons who may imitate any barn
yard animal or fowl. The one doing
the best imitation, to be judged by
the volume of applause from the audi
ence, will be given a special award.
Besides the awards to the winners
of a special contest each night of the
show, 12 awards, including an auto
mobile, will be given away during the
course of the six-day affair.
Beginning Tuesday, matinees will be
held each day from 2 to 5 pm., to
be featured by a baby show each aft
| emoon. Santa Claus will be on hand
at the matinees to distribute gifts to
| all children under 6 years of age.
j Hundreds of gifts of food are to be
presented show patrons.
