Jan. h.?A system of staking foot-prints of children has i been adopted in the New York Nurs j ery and Child's Hospital to prevent 'infants born there from going to the j wrong mothers. Its adoption was j clue to the fact that a soldier's wife jwho recently gave birth to a baby inj i that hospital ?t first denied that the] j child^ was hers. The young mother.! I who had been reading stories of acci- j I dental substitution of children at, j hospitals and similar public institu-1 tions, declined to. nurse the baby, j "We brought all the proofs we could j [muster," explained the superintend-) J ent, 'but the mother persisted in her j 1 hallucination. She became hysterical j I with grief and fright. Finally, I| 'brought out the records which show-j ed that only a little colored"baby and! her own had been born in the hos- j pital that day. That convinced her. but | just think of what would have hap- j pened to that poor winan if other j white babies had been born here on j the same day.." In order to avoid a similar experi- j ence/the superintendent engaged a] finger-print expert to instruct the] head nurse in trying the system on the babies. "We found we couldn't get! good prints of their hands," said, the 1 official. "Their^feet, however, came1 out beautifully and Tor greater secur ity the mother is finger-printed also." ! Very young" babies, it was said, mayj look just alike but their feet are quite dissimilar. One child, the su perintendent declared! will have a . perfectly formed miniature pedal ex tremity, another's will print mostly vague criss-cross lines and still an- ? other wili look like, "an egg and five j toothpicks." Under the present system, which ij has been in operation nearly sisfj! months, the child's foot is inked and j; stamped on the hospital chart of the . mother. Although he may not" re semble any one in the family and though no one can tell where he got his nose or his eyes or his mouth or the color of his hair, a comparison of the footprint taken at birth it was! said, will tell whose child he as from ! among the hundreds of infants in j this New York institution. ibeatb. ? , A cleath which came as a grcal shock to the entire community was that of. Mrs. Henry, J, Harby. Mrs. Harby had. been somewhat indisposed for atiout two weeks, but was thppght to have been, improving until recently, when she was moved from her home to the Toumey Hospital where she died Tuesday ' at eleven o'clock She had all that willing hands could do. but even this proved to be un availing.
