Better Babies

Few people know what .Eugenics"
means. There is story which ex-
plains better than dictionary de-
finition; Father Boston Bull Terrier
with spectacles and his pipe sat
reading an evening paper. Mother
Terrier looking up from her knit
ing says Father, what does this
"Eugenics'' mean that people are
talking so much about these days?"
"My dear, says Pa, "That eugenics
is what people have been practicing
on US for years."
The modern better baby contests
are not beauty shows they are in
tended to open parents eyes to men,
tai and physical defects in their
children. Defects of disposition
are usually due to defects Of mind
or body which when pointed out can
be remedied. AS a tree is perman-
emily injured each time it is sick so
each illness leaves the babe weaker
for life. Better baby contests are
intended to give hints to mothers
so their babies defects may be cor
rectedand illnesses prevented.
