FOOTPRINTS OF
INFANT WAITS
New Plan For Identifying
Foundlings

New York. Jan. ,5.-A system of
taking footprints . of children has
been adopted in the New York Nurs-
cry and Child''s Hospital to prevent
infants born there from going to the
wrong mothers. It's adoption was
due to the fact that a soldiers wife
who recently gave birth to "a baby in
that hospital at first denied that the
child was hers. The young mother,
who had been. reading stories of acci-
dental substitution Of children at
hospitals and similar public institu-
tions. declined to nurse the baby.
Eve brought all the proofs we could
muster" explained the superintend-
ent, but the mother persisted i'll her
hallucination. She became ,hysterical
with grief and fright. Finally, ]
brought out the records, which show
ed that only little colored~ baby and
her own had been born in the. hos
pital that day. That convinced her, but
Just think Of what would have hap
pened to that poor wman if other
white babies had been born here on
the same day..
In order to avoid similar expert
ence the superintendent engaged a
expert to instruct the
head nurse in trying the system on
the babies. I've found we couldn't get
good prints Of their hands," said. the
official. "Theirrfeet, however, came
out beautifully and for greater secur-
ity the mother is finser-printed also.
Very young babies, it was said. may
look just alike but their. feet are
quite dissinilar. One child, the su
perintendent declared. viii have a
perfectly formed miniature pedal ex-
trenaity. another's will print mostly
vague criss-cross lines and still an
other will look like IAN egg and five
toothpicks.'
Under the present system, which
has been in operation nearly sis.
the child's foot is linked and
stamped on the hospital chart of the
mother. Although he may not re-
semble any one in the family and
though no one can tell where he got
his nose or his eyes or his mouth or
the color Of his hair. a comparison
Of the footprint taken at birth it was
said. Will tell whose child he is from
among the hundreds Of infants in
this New York institution
