On May 20. I775, the Second Virginia
Convention met. not In Williamsburg,
but at Richmond. and its chief business
was the arning of the colony.
Maryland had furnished the ironical
formula with which TO justify what was
to be done: Resolved. unanimously,
that a weli-regulated militia. composed
of the gentlemen freeholders and other
freemen. is the natural strength and
only stable security of a free govern
ment: and that such militia will relieve
our mother country from any expense
in our protection and defense. will obvi-
ate the pretense of a necessity for tax
ing us on that account, and render II
unnecessary TO keep any standing army
ever dangerous to liberty-in this prov

great relish, in the convention at Rich

Dean is but II months old. yet his
chubby little fists have forced eugen-
ics into a corner and with . cherubic
smile that banishes scientific bogies,
he has forced open the doors Of Jer-
sey City's exclusive homes. Edward
moved into his home today and, ex-
cepting for one day this week, when
he reappears to receive a gold medal
in recognition of his 100 per cent of
perfection. has dropped the curtain
forever on an ancestry which he be-
lies.
This husky little shaver who walked
away with the first prize in a New
Jersey better baby contest last week.

perfection as a baby ever gets, went
to the scene Of his conquest from the
New Jersey maternity hospital. where
for several months he has been a star
boarder. following his desertion by a
wretched- over-worked. iil-nourished
woman, who had been deserted by a
drink-wrecked father. In the light of
his prenatal history and his present
day condition. Edward has passed a
problem up to the scientists and hu-
manitarians which promises to call
for some extensive figuring. The fast
that Edward drew the spotlight In the
better baby contest. where the win

of a stickler for those who insist upon

hospital. Edward is the best argu-
ment that can be put forward TO prove
that environment, scientific care and
proper feeding are the important eIe-
ments in the development OF perfect
children.

specimen OF babyhood any of us have
ever seen." said Miss Brede today.
"He could not have had a poorer
start or greater handicaps. When he
came to us last July from fresh air
