WASS>>lG BABY SHOW
Mrs. Watts Returns From Denver Where
She Judged ESQ Babies in the
Better Baby Contest

Mrs. F. 5. Watts returned home
Tuesday evening from Denver where
last week she had charge of the Better
Baby" department at the National
Western Stock Show. Mrs.sW ats took
Denver by storm as indicated by the
very complimentary notices given her
in the daily press. One of them said:
'Twohundred and fifty weenty- teenty
September Morns, in every degree of
vocal emotion; were on exhibition at
the opening session of the eugenic sec
tion of the National Western Stock
show this morning
The Woman's club building was the
scene. Mothers, babies, here and there
that necessary adjunct, fond father,
and a score of men aud women doctors,
made tie dramatis personae.
There's no reason in the world why
we should be giving all our time and
study TO perfecting cattle, horses and
hogs, said Mrs. Mary Terril Watts, a
beautiful woman, with masses of white
hair who has come from Iowa to be
one of the judges of whether or not
Denver Is living up to her eugenic OPP
portunity.
I'VE came upon the idea of throwing
the stock show open TO human beings
by going about at county fairs con
tinued Mrs. Watts. There every liv-
ing thing seemed to be moving toward
perfection except the children and we
decided that every industry-bar none
improves by competition. So why
not a competition in babiesr
The practice of eugenices by intelh-
gent men and women does not mean
that sentiment is going to die out of the
world. Not at all. 1t means merely
that man and maid will, by study
ing, and needing the suggestions of
those who have the welfare of the race
at heart, find it better to fall in love
with a healthy mate than the one who
is not fit to be an ancestor. Public
sentiment is the great moving force in
every progressive movement and this
section of livestock show is making SEN
timent in favor of the fit child y
The babies are brought to the club by
their parents, or one of them. They
are stripped TO their pink, dimpled skins
and handed over to the specialists who
measure, weigh, examine and write
down their findings.
Babies from months of age to years
are eligible Wednesday morning the
first markings will be announced, and
Friday night at the stock show proper
the grand sweepstakes winner in the
human class will DO proclaimed. The
Judges will be DR. r. W. Corwin of
Pueblo and Mrs. Waits of Iowa Dem
ver's babies are as lovely as Denver's
air aud sunshine are wholesome, and
the winner of the sweepstakes will go
some" to carry off the prize
Another reporter who had been de-
tailed to do the baby show had the
following interesting report:
You can have the stock show-the
"stOrk' show for mine.

Mrs Watts is the lovely lady from
Iowa who is responsible for this better

has good and gurgle for every little
