SAFETY PLAN FOR BABIES
IN HOSPITALS is URGED
Chicago Coroner's Jury Advocates
Tinting of Colorless Solutions
to Prevent Mistakes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 10.--Tinting of
colorless solutions used in hospitals
should be required in addition to label
ing of bottles and containers, the
coroner's jury investigating the death
of six infants as the result of acct
dental administration of boric acid So
luton, decided.
Such a practice, the jury agreed
would have made it impossible for a
nurse to mistake the mild antiseptic
solution for drinking water and give
it to the six babies with fatal effects.
The jury held that such tinting of
solutions and preparations of other
hospital materials should be done in
headed hospital pharma-
cy, where the materials would be
stored and issued under proper labels
only upon requisition.
