BEST BABY In TOWN
Little Claire Elizabeth Horton has
that HOnOr-Many Other
Prize Winners.

For the babies and the baby-lovers
all roads led toward Pythian hall on
Thursday afternoon for at that place
at three o'clock announcement was
made of the prize winners in the
Better Babies contest conducted by
the Woman's club. The hall was
filled with spectators while the front
of the hall was given to the prize
winning babies and their mothers.
The babies seemed to know that they
were the attraction for they were on
their best behavior and besides be-
ing healthy and '. ell appeared Won
derfully happy and contented with
their lot. DR.. Frank r. Farmer ex-
planned the method of scoring and
Mrs. A. R. Brooks told just how the
scoring figures were derived from
the cards. While they were talking
the babies were having their pictures
taken, undoubtedly the hardest part
of the contest and the least sue
cessful.
The prizes were announced and
presented by Mrs. Robert E. French
to whose untiring energy much of
the success of the contest is due. The
bronze medal given by the WOman's
Home Companion to the baby who
had the highest score of all who en-
tered was awarded to Claire Eliza
beth Horton who scored 99.5 in a
possible 100. She was also awarded
the five dollar gold piece given by E.
and T. Fairbanks e. Co. to the baby
of one of their employees having the
best score.
The babies were divided into five
classes according to age, the first
from six months to one year, and so
on, and first second and third prizes
were awarded in each class. The
first prizes were five dollar gold pieces,
third were silver spoons. Prizes
