With the entire state interested in
Better Babies, The Republican is par
ticularly pleased this morning that the
article for the club department is by
Mrs. Charles R. Howe, one of the lead
ers of the movement in Arizona. Mrs.
Howe was one of the promoters Of
the child welfare exhibits at the state
fair last year and her efforts along this
line were so greatly appreciated by
Mrs J. C. Norton, president of the Ari-
IONA Congress of Mothers, that she
asked Mrs. Howe to act as publicity
chairman of the baby contest which
will be a feature of this seasons fair
Mrs. Howe has given just such infor
nation that those interested would
care to know and has been most sat
isfactory in her position, having gained
much of her knowledge of publicity
through her activity in Parent Teacher
Associations.
BETTER BABIES
BY Mrs. Charles r. Howe
Is there any one who has not
heard that one Of the chief attrac-
lions of the Tenth Arizona State
Fair is to be Better Babies Con-
test? If so, please take notice:
The babies of the state of Arizona
are to be there in full force to dem
onstrate to the world in general and
the rest of the United States in par
children in the world. And here let
me make it plain that the standard
by which they will be judged is not
mere beauty of form or feature nor
richness of apparel but physical and
mental perfection.
Anticipating the natural query,
What is the object of this contest ?"
will state that it is for the pur-
pose of interesting the parents in
child hygiene. In the eyes of all
parents their children are beautiful,
no matter how the world at large
sees them, and perhaps it is egotism
that makes the Jones family believe
that child hygiene is a subject that
should be of paramount interest to
the Smith family, for instance, but
is quite superfluous so far as the
versa Gather the children of a COM
munity together and announce that
the child nearest approaching the
standard of physical perfection as
used all over the United States will
be awarded a premium and those
premiums Immediately become very
desirable But when the stern eye
of science judges the baby instead
of doting parenthood, defects hither-
to ignored or unsupported, stand
fort, to ccale the score of narfaotiop

YOUNG WOMAN'S
JOKE CALLED OUT
FIRE FIGHTERS

Rutland, June 1.-THE Rutland fire de-
partment was called out to business
to-day because n woman clerk in n fruit
store "jollied" over the telephone with
her acquaintance, Capt. John Il. Reidy
of station l. 1t is customary for the
fremen at both stations to listen when
the call for either station Is rung. Ac-
COrdingly n company l man grabbed the
receiver when No. Is call rang in to-
day. The first thing he heard was,
There's hot fire burning over here
In store on Center street" He waited
to hear nothing more, but called to his
associates, and in a few seconds the
young woman, who had spoken of fire in
a joking way merely as a means of let
ting Captain Reidy know who was on
the other end of the line, was astonished
to see the Company men rush into the
store, armed with fire extinguishers.
The young woman later received call
from Fire Chief James c. Dunn and
was notified that joking with firemen
when they are on duty must be put to an
end. The department was notified that
henceforth department telephones must
be used for business only.
