F00TPRINTS0F CHILDREN TO
 IDENTIFY THEM

NEW YORK, Feb. (by Associated Press).-A system of taking foot prints of children has been adopted in the New York Nursery and Child S Hospital, to prevent infants born there from going to the wrong moth CTS. It's adoption was due to the fact that soldiers wife who recently gave birth to a baby in that hospital at first denied that the child was hers. Fhe young mother, who had been read ing stories of accidental substitution of children at hospitals and similar public institutions, declined to nurse the baby.
 we brought all the proofs we could muster explained the superin- tendent, "but the mother persisted in her hallucination. She became hys- terical with grief and fright. Finally l brought her our records, which showed that only little colored baby and her own had been born in the hospital that day. That convinced her. But just think of what would have happened to that poor woman if other white babies had been born here on the same day!"
 In order to avoid 6 similar experi- ence the superintendent engaged finger print expert to instruct the head nurse in trying the system on the babies. we found we couldn't get good prints of their hands," said the official Their feet, however,, came out beautifully, and for greater security the mother is finger-printed also."
 Very young babies, it was said, may look just alike, but their feet are quite dissimilar One child, the su perintendent declared, will have per fectly-formed miniature pedal extrem- fty, another's will print mostly vague criss-cross lines, and still another will look like "an egg and five toothpicks. !"
 Under the present system, which

has been in operation nearly six months, the child's foot is linked and stamped on the hospital cart of the mother. Although he may not resem- ble anyone in the family, and though no one can tell where he got his nose >Or his eyes, 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 institu- tion.
