The babies between six months and
six years of age, who are registered
before April %, will be scored, and
have the benefit of the best medical,
dental and all-round practical help
obtainable, entirely free of charge.
The real contest, is for better mothers.
Three more out of town babies were
registered this last week, besides the
one registered by mail from Meriden.
They are Wilma Niccum, fourteen
months, of Arkansas City, and two
children of Mrs. Mark Nichols of Nor
tonville, John Dibert, three years old,
and Mark Mox, thirteen months old.
The latter was the Colorado prize baby
last year, while they were living as
FIT. Morgan, Colorado.
DIR. Elvenor Ernest is very proud
of one of the Topeka babies registered.
1t is Rule Elvenor Wettling, nine
months old daughter of Mrs. G. F.
Wettling of 45S Reno, and Dr.. Ernest
calls her the prize bottle baby.
Luvenia Otis, little daughter of Mrs.
A. V. Otis. of Sill Scotland avenue,
Oakland, who is not nearly five years
old, and was registered last week,
scored 100, four years ago.
The committee appointed for pre-
pairing the program for baby week,
W hich occurs from May 1 to May s.
will soon be able to announce it. II
will be both entertaining and instruc-
tive, with something different for
each afternoon, talks by people COM
petent to give them, and demonStra-
ton of the practical things every
mother should do, interspersed by
good music and esthetic dancing.
1t is important that mothers should
remember that they have only a short
time left in which to register their
babies, the registration books closing
April %.
A plan is under way by which those
mothers who cannot take the time
to go in person with their babies
when they are scored, during
Baby Week, can send them, knowing
that they will be well cared for by
call for the babies who cannot go in
any other way, and they will be re-
turned in the same way, without any
cost to the mothers.
