O-oo-o! mamma!


That East Los Angeles Congregation
al church baby exhibition yesterday,
given under the auspices of the Wom-
ems Aid society, at the church, 14O
DAILY street, was a bowling success.
1t was a crying shame, however, that
all of the 1874 babies entered in the
infantile beauty contest couldn't have
won prizes. Every one of them dem
onstrated some particularly superior
merit which in itself should have car
ried off almost anything from leather
medal to a gold cup-if for nothing
more nor less than pulmonary capacity
and vocal powers.
The exhibition opened at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, and in less than twenty
minutes there was nobody in the big
church who had any suspicion left as
to the seriousness of the presidents
race suicide theory There was every
indication that, aside from all tourist
immigration and colonists rates, the
population of Los Angeles is destined
to multiply at a rapid rate.
1t was an international affair, too,
and one of the most cosmopolitan shows
Los Angeles has seen for many moons.
There were Indian babies, Chinese ba-
bies, Russian babies, japanese babies,
Swedish babies, German babies--in fact
babies from every conceivable section
of the big globe, and they were all DO
ing their best to make their distinguish
ing characteristics conspicuous.
Coo, Kick and Yell
Some of them made wry and wrinkled
faces; others pouted, cooed. yelled,
kicked, wiggled or laughed, according
to the fancy of the moment; while still
others displayed a remarkable knowl-
edge of social ethics and merely posed
sweetly for the kodak man or nibbled
funny looking piece of rubber on the
end of a white bottle, containing some
mysterious liquid supposed to soothe
their feelings. But all alike were i'm.
pressive and won compliments If not
prizes before they emerged from the
crowd of two or three hundred proud
mothers.
The success of the baby show was
largely due to the efforts of the execu-
tive committee of the Women's Aid So
ciety, composed of Mrs. George Adams,
3515 Pasadena avenue, president; Mrs.
r r. Prior, 229 North Sichel street.
president of the Wednesday Morning
club: Mrs J. E. Brown, 431 Eastlake
avenue; Mrs. George Ward, 141 Ave-
nue. 49, and Mrs. George Felt, 1888
North Workman street, who promoted
the exhibition and worked strenuously
to make it all it proved to be-a big
hit.
The affairs was held for the benefit of
the church, and netted in entry fees
over $50. Beside this sum consider
able amount was realized from the sale
of aprons, ice cream, cooked and canned
goods dolls, etc., in the class room of
the church.
