BETTER BABY CONTEST
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Health and Development Of Infants to
Be Considered by Judges Of State
Fair Feature.

"tThe better babies contest is out
distancing many Of our older depart
ments, and promises to be one of the
most important and interesting features
of the fair SAYS Horace S. Ensign,
secretary Of the Utah State fair asso-
citation, The "better babies contest
idea originated in Iowa, and has been
so successful that it has spread to prac-
ticalIy all the state fairs in the coun-
try. The babies are not scored on
points Of beauty, but, on the contrary,
the important points Of health and de-
velopment are given preference.
The shape and size OF the head, eyes,
ears, nose, teeth, jaw, etc, the skin,
bones and fat, intelligence and gen
eral health are the important items
on the national score card which will
be followed here. Any baby in the state
NAV be entered in the contest provided
it is between the ages of twelve and
thirty~six months.
Mrs. Louise g. McCune, member Of
the state fair board. is in charge of
the contest, and will be assisted by
three medical examiners. The result OF
the contest here will be fled with the
American Baby Health Contest asso-
citation, tho national organization pro-
noting the contests. In 1915, at the
Panama-Pacifc exposition in San Fran
cisco, an international contest Will be
held, and the winners of the state con-
tests this year and next will be Sc
cured for the competition there if pos
sible.
The contract which will bring TO the
state fair the cannibal village recently
imported from the South Sea islands
has been received, and it is now certain
that the man-eaters will be seen here,

ed that charges be filed against him and
that he be given a hearing. These de-
mands he says, were ignored The local
division, the petition says, refused TO ac-
cept the arbitrary and Illegal ruling OF
