In the state of Iowa, where the fin

the bumper corn crops are raised,
they are after a new crop record

Iowa has been standardizing corn,
cattle and hogs. Now, by precisely
the same scientific methods, they have
begun 10 standardize their babies.
Two women are responsible for the
movement for better babies IN Iowa.
One is Mrs. Mary T. Watts Of Audu-

Iowa Congress OF Mothers and super

practicing physician and the wife OF
a physician. Mrs. Watts conceived
the idea Of a campaign for better ba'

a campaign could be put on scien'

up not only the state Of Iowa. but the

well, no Iowa farmer was going to
stand for that very long. Iowa babies
somehow had to be brought up to the
standard OF Iowa corn.
Which was precisely the spirit the
leaders OF the movement wanted TO
arouse!
When the storm of disappointment
and disapproval had passed, the par
ents of each child in the contest found
themselves possessed Of a score-card
on which good and bad points were
set forth in cold black figures. When
child scored low, the card read some

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-02-21

The contest was over The fair
ground gates were locked and barred
A lot of Iowans-farmers and city
folks-were carrying home one vital
thought: Iowa babies were not up to
the mark of Iowa corn and cattle;
something had to be done.
And so the first step in the cam
paign for better babies had been TAX
en- The women behind the movement
were already beginning a between-fair
campaign, for they had found, strange
ly enough. that the city babies had
made better records than the country
babies. First off, the movement need
ed publicity. The daily and weekly
press gave that free in the sort of
editorials people read. The babies at
the state fair had come out bad sec
Ond to the crops of grain and live
stock. In a few generations, accord
ing to those fateful score cards, Iowa
would have the most fruitful fields and
the highest standard of live stock in
the country. but fields would be titled
and stock driven by a defective race
of men and women. Iowas pride was
touched.
Club women in the cities and towns
turned from literary topics to health
and hygiene for babies At the grange
meetings the wives of farmers stopped
talking the best feed for chickens and
discussed sleeping quarters and bal
anced diet for children under three
years Of age. Every baby who had
failed in that astonishing contest at
Des Moines was examined through
parental eyes which somehow saw a
child as new creature, just as wor-
/ thy of correct physical upbringing as
calves and pigs.
! Other babies who had not been en-
tered for the contest found themselves
possessing a new interest for their
/ parents. They were put on new diets,
given new sorts of clothes and new
kinds of baths. In fact, the fall and
winter Of 1911 was a memorable one
for Iowa babies. a sort Of transforms
ton period For. you see, in Iowa,
state pride runs high. A mere trifie
like its baby population must not stand
in the light of state progress.
In the meantime the duplicates OF
those unusual score cards were on
their travels. The Iowa Congress Of

they looked with an envious or criti-
cal eye upon the babies of other ex-
hibitors. Better babies for Iowa had
become a sort of slogan at the state
fair.
Babies were entered for the sweep
stake prizes. There was class de-
voted to city babies. and there was
another open to rural babies, and still
a third for the town babies.
The sweepstake prize was won by a
215-year-old Des Moines girl, named
Dorothy Kulsmeyer, with a score OF
81 Is, beating the prize winner of the
first contest by nearly a whole point.
She tipped the scales at 321s pounds,
was 3G1a inches in height, with a
chest measurement of q inches and
head circumference of 20 inches. In

Mothers had had the Official score card
in blank copyrighted, and they were
supplying them to officials of county
and state fairs for the next years
use, and to municipal officials at the
rate of $50 per hundred, duplicate
blanks free. Wherever family health
and hygiene were discussed, there the
copies of the Iowa score cards were
shown. They reached a session OF the
American Medical association, and
created such profound impression
that they were turned over TO DIR. Ele-
nora S Everhard. chairman of the
committee for public health education
among women. with the suggestion TO
help on the Iowa movement and spread
it TO other states. Particularly, wher-
ever Iowa women gathered. those score
cards. with the names of the wee con-
testants omitted. were passed round.
Also. to all meetings of women were
sent copies of the following circular,
a review, or summing up, of the Des
Moines contest:

Number of children scoring between

The children scoring less than 80
points were decidedly below normal

heavy in disposition, energy, facial
! and ocular expression and attention.
Only five boys and five girls received
perfect marks for number, hsape and

ton evidently resulting from nutri-
tional defects.
} The greatest cephalic index was 81
the child having this index making the
general score of 96k. The least ce-
phalic index was 70, and this childs
general score was 80. The average
cephalic index was S2% The average
4 cephalic index of the honor children
between II and "a months Of age was
SO, and that of the honor children be-
tween the ages Of "a and IS months
was 1888. The children receiving the
ten lowest scores had an average &C.

children were two inches taller, more

inch greater chest measure and about
siX-tenths inch greater circumference

that practically all the scores could

Long before the state fair of 1912
was ready for visitors, parents were
clamoring for information about the
next baby health contest. Nearly FIVE
times as many babies were registered
for the second contest in response to

where the weak spots were In the
Iowa system OF baby-raising. Doctor
Clark attended medical conferences in
the east and IN England, France and
Germany.
When these two women met to dis
cuss both the cause (the lack Of sci
entifc and hygienic baby culture) and
the remedy (the same scientific and
thorough methods already employed
in raising the corn and cattle which
had made Iowa fsmous), they chose

mother would meet. the state fair,

Mrs. Watts and Doctor Clark did not
invite eminent authorities in the medi-
cal world to deliver lectures in the
woman's building. where preserves,
embroidery and the babies were al
WAYS exhibited. Neither did they call
a formal congress Of mothers. They
just put the babies on exhibition along
side the corn and the cattle, with the
same sort OF scoring. They decided
that this was the very best way to
show Iowans the difference between
! the corn crop and the baby crop. And
what a storm that comparison did
. create.
/ Of course the Iowa state fair had
had baby shows before, but they were
beauty contests. But when in August,
