During the three days of examina-
lions for the Richmond Better Baby
contest. not one abnormal child has
been found
This morning, two OF the babies
who had been registered, failed to ap-
pear for examination. These are the
FIRST that have not been brought to the
headquarters. The committee believes
that these will be brought in later. 1t
may be that since they have missed
their turn, the babies will not be ex-
amined. The only way that they can
get into the contest again is for the
mothers to take the babies to the
Social Service bureau rooms and walt
for some time when the examiners
have a few spare moments in which
to score them.
Babies Rank High.
This morning all babies submitted
for examination were of high stan
dard physically.
Grandmothers especially are taking
an active interest in the competition.
In several instances the proud grand
parents accompany the mother and
child.
Most of the mothers who have chill
dren who score high say they give
their babies plenty of chances to get
fresh air. The one which scored the
highest today, has practically lived in
the open air all summer. The mother
informed the committee that the child
sleeps out of doors during the sum-
mer months in cot beside its parents.
Examinations will not be completed
until late Saturday night. The win
ners cannot be announced until late
next week. All the score cards will
have to be gone over carefully and
the percentages totaled. The winners
will be chosen from the cards.
Refuses to Hold Meeting.
The committee has been requested
to call all the winners into the high

In the house. however, the foreign
