EUGENIC BABIES PROVE
UNIQUE ATTRACTION
Most OF the Judging OF the exhibits
was hnished yesterday. Large crowds
witnessed the finishing of the iuda
ing OF the cattle. and then went 70
see the euSenic babies, who are cx
hioited In their natural state In the
baby show. Several couples have been
somewhat embarrassed by the enthu-
s'ash evidenced by those in charge
exhibiting others offspring, and a
young newspaper man who called AT
the booth with his fate was at n loss

throughout the day. Interest in the

sees.

the, singers engaged for the fair was
INDUCED in yesterday by the members
OF the directorate, and they were so
pleased that II movement is now afoot
to have Miss Emma Nagel engaged for
the American Bankers Association,
which begins Its convention here next
week. Miss Nagel has n strong and
appealing voice. suited better, perhaps,
Tor concert singing indoors than for
effort in the open air. Her voice is
sweet and her notes are true Sing
ing In the open Is, however, exceed
ingly trying on the voice, more espe-
'cially when the singer is competing
for attention against tile police patrol
