GIRL BABIES SUPERIOR.

One of the results of the baby show at the
Iowa State fair, according to the medical
sharps was the demonstration of the superior
ity of girl babies over boy babies. Most of
the girls were bigger and heavier than the
boys and that the girls would show better de-
velopment with growth than the boys was
predicted.
Why then should the extremely poor and
the extremely rich prefer boy babies to those
Of the opposite sex? The Astors feared that
the heir to the paternal fortune would prove
TO be girl, while in poor families the prayers
that the child may be boy most fervent.
One philosopher thinks that it is because in
the case of the poor the boys have a greater
earning power and in the case of the rich there
exists the old desire for an heir TO carry the
family name as we'll as to spend the family
fortune
However, the result of the baby show in
Iowa furnishes grounds for congratulations
at meetings of women's clubs and suffragette
societies.
