Picked as Kenosha's
Prettiest Baby.
HARD JOB FOR JUDGES
Judges Have Hard Task Pick
ing ''Prettiest Baby" Out of
More than Three Hundred.

1t wouldn't have been hard to
find the happiest mother in Kenosha
this morning.
Without doubt she was Mrs. Walter
Mann, 81 Wisconsin street, for she
was rejoicing over the news brought
to her that her seventeen months old
baby-W Walter Mann, Jr--had just been
declared the prettiest baby in Kenosha
by the judges in the contest carried
on by the "Kenosha Evening News"
It was no wonder that she could not
conceal her pride as she was told of the
decision reached by the judges.
A representative Of the News found
Mrs. Mann at the home just before
eleven o'clock this morning when he
went to tell her the good news. He
didn't even know the name of the baby
but merely the address in keeping with
the rules Of the contest. He carried
with him an enlarged picture of the
baby to identify it as the winner.
Baby Smiles His Sweetest.
"Good- morning." said the News
representative. rs this picture of
your baby?"
Eyes, answered the mother, but
why? ?"
"Well, he's the prettiest baby in
Kenosha," came the answer. "The
judges have picked him as the winner
Of the contest.
Baby Mann was toddling around in
another room. The mother CALLED him
and he came out smiliHg just as he
appears in the picture He wasn't all
dressed up in his "Sunday-go-to-m
ing" clothes, but he was just as attrac-
tive in his rompers and with his hair
ruffled little-baby fashion.
Baby Man didn't blush, but he, did
suck his thumb little as his mother
tried to tell him what all the excite
ment was about.
"Of course, thought he was the
prettiest baby in Kenosha," said the
mother, "but | supposed every mother
would think that. Pm so happy | don't
know just what to say"
Winner of Three Hundred.
1t was no easy task for the judges
to pick out the winner of the contest.
More than three hundred Kenosha
babies pictures were entered in the
contest and all Of them were pretty,
cunning babies. 1t took several hours
for the judges finally to reach the de-
cision that the Mann baby was the
prettiest and healthiest looking child
There were no babies picked for second
or third places, the contest being only
to establish the prettiest baby.
Pictures of all the babies entered
in the contest with enlarged picture
Of the winner, will be displayed in the
windows of merchants who donated
prizes for the contest The photographs
are all the work Of Leonard P. Clapp.
