THK PERFECT BABY.
Sadie Hinehman, aged 17 months,
won the prize iu a New York baby
show the other day over 150 compet
itors for good looks, physical per
fection and happy disposition. Sad
ie was adjudg< d the finest baby in
the show of her age and was award
ed the blue ribbon prize and!admir
ing spectators contributed $25 which
was placet! in a savings bank to her
credit.
Sad to relate, the eugenics and
hygeuies can find no cause for boast
iu» in Sadie's case. Until a few
months ago little Sadio would cer
tainly have been classed as a most
shamefully and pitifully neglected
baby. No one I.nows whosi'
baby she was and her moth
er didn't want her. For a police
man found her deserted, sleeping in
an ash barrel, and took her to a
foundling asylum because no one
claimed her.
Then came Mrs. Sarah Hineh
man, a sorrowful grandmother, who
had been left »)1 alone in the world
by the death of her young widowed
daughter and her little grand-daugh
t«»r, and adopte i the ash-barrel baby.
Since then she has been well cared
for. of course, thoush she wasn't
before, or at b^st only such care as
a public Institution can give.
Thts does not prove, by any man
ner of means, that there is any
thing wrong in the plan of teaching
sex hygiene or in adopting eugenic
methods in .earing children. It
simply shows tii.it old Mother N'atur
evens things up now and then by en
dowing ash barrel babies with
health and strength and disposition
that makes th.?m prize winners ov
er the pets of the sanitary nursery.
It illustrates hew ignorance, neglect
and cruelty of too many parents are
compensated for and the human
average kept up in spite of all the
efforts of human perversity to pull
it down. There is a force greater
than ourselves making for human
righteousness and for the physical
I preservation of the human race.
Hence the Sadie Hinchmans.—Taco
ma Tribune.
