 While 1t may appear trifle late for some of the youngest priZe- winning infants, this once 1t seems that the champions of the Moot Popular Baby Contest should take their honors personally. And, guess who will present the prizes!

 Saunders Statement

is well worth working for, to mix an old saying slightly.
 Saunders Statement
 "You will recall that I nrosnosti- cated the termination of this com petition would find Q representative of the masculine species conspicu- ously ahead" Randall averred. "Well, I point with on element of satisfaction to the accuracy of my prediction and, if I couldn't quite manipulate e triumph, then 1t be- hooves me to say to MT. Rizk, Well done, in behalf of oil other male babies In the Contest"
 Scannell Statement
 If I were just c bit older and those two boys were around with their prize money and cups there's no question in my mind but what they'd he very happy to come up and see me-" lovely Ruth Ann said. The implication Is that boys would be boys and Miss seannell could take her pick of dates" for lunch, for dinner, for the theater. That's how some prize money goes, of course, to the girls, even though the boys win.
 Virginia Cossettc
 "You may say, Poufl for me to the boys In tho Contest" declared Virginia, with c charming pout. My fourth prize of Q dozen pic- lures of myself, to Do taken by Thomas Studio, is Just what I want- cd oil of the time.

 The Contenders
