 The procedure adopted at the Bridgeport hospital is as follows. Prospective mothers as soon as symptoms of immediate confinement develop are placed in a room adjoin- ing the delivery room in the mater nifty suite. When the proper time comes the patients bed is wheeled through the doorway into the de- livery room which is equipped with everything which could possibly make convenient or aid in the work for which it is set apart. Here she is slipped onto a specially prepared table and at once on a blank form de- signed for the purpose her name is entered and impressions of the thumb and first and second fingers of her right hand made.
 Within five minutes after the birth of child and before it has been out of the hands of the graduate nurse to whom it is first given there has been made just above the prints of the mothers fingers a print of the sole of the child's right foot and a record showing the sex of the child and the hour of its birth has been fllei in and certified to by the sig nature of the nurse making the rec ord In addition there is placed
 around the neck of the child @ white tape bearing on the end round white tag, perhaps as large a half dollar, on one end of which is entered the name of the mother. the sex Of the child and it's weight, and on the other side the name of the doctor

Then, too, there is not an pver-supply of men of the Solomon kype in any community not even in Bridgeport.
