 After q few predatory remarks that led up to definite geographical location khe author launches into the detahs or shis plans. as follows; ..,..
 An apartment might be set aside furnished with cradles and sbaoy incu- bators. A large receiving and distrIo- uting van could be constructed Witn er- rangements for the com1ortaDie sin. uortation of quite . number or papies. Every morning the van would make trips to the various houses and gather up the babies and convey them to the sTnfantartum." where they would pc x,Iaeed in charge of q number Of ex- nerienced nurses, employed by the Club for that purpose. Every evening the distributing van woula return tue babies to their respective fatners' al home. n. turns the following plan is suggested: 1ypon gathering the babies in the morn fnr. the driver would tie red ribbon around the right great toe of the fath- ar. and around the right great toe ot 4he baby; at the next house the second Zoe would be utilized, and so on, unth ten pieces of red ribbon would indi- cate ten different babies. according 70 the toe used. Thus by resorting 70 dii- ferent colored ribbons, any number or babies could be accurately cneckea. ITpon returning the children Tn the evening. a father would simply have to take on his shoe, and match toes with the baby. If. In any case. 1t shouio develop that the father was adorned with . red. and the baby with a blue ribbon. he would know at once there had been misdeai. and could call for new shufie. %
 The 'Tnfantarium" should be supplied with antisepticaliy prepared feeding hotties and other necessaries. At the nresant advanced stage of science, it should not be didicult to place 8 voice receiver over each cradle which could be connected by wires with sounding boards in the cafe, and thus, when postprandlal pains induce the little angels to lift up their voices in song, the sweet harmony would accompany 3he hum of conversation. the clash of knives, the dissection of character and the consumpti0n of food.
 Owing to the peculiar particuiarity of most men as to the paternity of children reared in their homes, every precantion should be taken to insure the return of the Identical baby to the home from whence 1t wes received.
 To prevent malicious pranks on the mart of nurses, or to avoid mistak es arising from the color hlfndness of fathers, 1t is proposed that. twice a week, fathers should be compelled to attend classes, at the "Infantarium," in the Science of Identification. where in- structed by experts, they may acquire the mysterious art of distinguishing one baby from another, and thus not be compelled to rely entirely on match ing toes.
