It Is quite probable that the shame

Its origin more In the whiskey that

CONTEST.

Time Given Next Year?Talks, Ex?

From The Dally Item, March 4.
Babies, bibles, babies, more thai
a hundred of them, and each mother
showing in her eyes that her bat?
was the beat and most beautiful of
the lot. Thnt is the way it looked to
an Item representative this morning,
when he visited the cour^ house and
saw babies tialore.
From the time he turned the cor?
ner at Main and Liberty streets, there
were babies, mothers hurrying with
their children toward the court hous \
or others Just returning from the
court house. The "Betty Baby" day
was In full swing, as one coujd see
and hear, without half trying. Theve
were babies all over the court house
grounds and in nearly all of the
rooms in the court house, where talk s
to the parents on the care of the ba?
bies wtTSj goiog on and the bnby con?
test was drawing mothers, fathe?^
and babies.
In one of the rooms adjacent to r o
court room, Doctors H. M. Stuckoy, It.
B. Furman and M. L.. Parier were ex?
amining the babies according to a
prescribed score card to ascertain
which of them w*re the best and
more worthy of the priies which htid
been offered. There were first and
second prHes for tue best?and nett
best babtst between one month and
one year old, one and two years oM,
and two anA throe years old, respec?
tively, and then another for the
healthiest bay In the showl The doc?
tors wera k?pt very busy and the bi?
bles were constantly coming and go?
ing. The examination was according
io a score card devised by Dr. Walter
Cheyne and the determination on the
Vea*. babies was according to tho fol?
lowing points: Abnormalities: bone,
eyesight defective, tonsils or adenoids,
hearing, teeth; Breathing, expansion;
Blood, anaemic, eruptions; Tempera?
ment, peevish, fretful, good natured.
? general sverage of these points
wf!lt the age and heighth of baby and
Its sax and whether breast or milk fed
were taken into'conalderatlon In mak-1
ing the score.
Dr. Walte * ('he -im made a talk
the purpose ??f "Baby Day." tclil ig .
how It w.ih i !v; observed ?Trer-'.iv
all over the country and the. ? I
which would be accomplished through

Miss Julia Obenschain told of tho
Preparation of the food for children,
a..d Dr. H. A. Mood delivered a very
Interesting piper on "Infant Feeding."
Dr. E. R. Wilson spoke on "The Care
of the Eyes," and Dr. 8tuekey on
"Diet and Cure of Children."
In the grs.rtd Jury room Miss An?
tonio Gibson had prepared a very in?
teresting exhibit of baby furniture
and things providing the proper ears
and comfort of the children. In an
adjacent room Miss Obenschain r.ern
oastrsted tho preparation of foods
suitable for babies. These exhibits
and demonstrations elicited much in?
terest and many questions concerning
their construction and other points
were answered to the ?atisfS'**>**in of
the psrents.
The baby parade was a unique
and pleasing feature o." the "Bet?
ter Baby Day." The lino of bahjes was
more than ' wo blocks lo'ng, It bgtofl
estimated at more than a hundred
babies In the parade, which was
watched by a largo and eager crowd
of spectators lined up along Main
street. However, nil of the babies
were not In the parade, for many of
them kept coming in and It was cstl?
mated thut the total ndmber of ba?
bies present was nea**er two than one
hundred, al.hough the examination
had rot be?n completed at 2 o'clock
and the number of contestants was:
not known positively at that time.
In fact so .much pleased wore all of
those in charge of tho event, that it
was determined to make "Eaby Day"
an annual event, and it was stated
that it was probable that next year
the "Better IIa bios" show would last
probably th-eo days, Instead of one,
as by so doing there would not be the
haste attendant on tho event as thero
was today.

cess past the expectations of any of
those who planned and worked for
it. Ono hundred thirty-two babies
were entered in the baby contest and
examined by the attending physicians
and a good many others were taken
away without examination, as the par?
ents or those having the babies in
charge were unable to wait until their
turn came for the examination of the
babies. The examination started
shortly after 10 o'clock in the morn?
ing and it was late in the afternoon
beforo ull of the infants had been
examined and after 6 o'clock before

announced as follows, the decision be?
ing based on tho number of points

to see so many fine babies in the j

specimens. The cvarr.lncrs were so j
rushed examining the hundred and :
thirty-two babies that next year ar- |
