This Is frolng to-'be piie pt the queries Uiat will be heard "frequently, during the progress of the "big National Con serTation ' Exposition In KnoxxUle. Tenn. The exposition win throw open its gates on September 1 and will con tinue until November JL ; v The Baby ChecMng Department" will. 'be only rone of ' the many novel things that thel progressive men and women in charge .of the 'Child Welfare Exhibit will arrange for the 'exposition. The question asked above and answer 'el affirmatively, does not - mean-.that baby will be checked, tagged and then put in an Oblong compartment- like a suit case. Rather, it will mean that baby will be taken in- charge by. com petent nurses and ;Well cared for. ,;, ( There Is ; going , to be a babies' rocm" in the Child Welfare. Building at the National Conservation . Exposi tion, a room, well lighted,! alryj screen ed and.dalntily ifurnishedC There will be" plenty of room for the children to romp and play; there will also,Nbe cozy rest rooms, where the' little ones can sleep when their, eyes become : heavy and. their little legs tired. v s ; Experience has shown that' many mothers, rather - than miss . the t show, such as. the National Conservation Ex position will be must bring the little ones. The management of the expo sition welcomes the "children. . It wants everyi chUd. to seer the . wonders on dis play But at the same time, the wom en In charge .of the Child "Welfare- De partment realize. how necessary it is to have a place, where. - mother.- can leave; the children, r So the aby GIFFORD PlNCHOT, Conservationist and head of National Advisory Board of National Conser . vation Exposition. Checking Department," It will be a place where mother can leave the chil dren and rest assured of the fact that they will be having the best kind of a time, and. that they will be looked after every minute of the day. Baby Health Contest. I: is also proposed that in the Child Welfare Building there shall., be a "Laby Health Contest." The one 'ob ject of this contest will be to set" up a standard of health for the babies. The! absurd features too often cruel of many baby shows will be done away with by this feature. The Babies!. Clinic of Knoxville has agreed to co operate in, the "Baby Health Contest" Here Is the way In which it will be carried on: First, there will be a stand ard score card. Then the physical de velopment of the child is compared with the score card, and a certificate or medal is given in accordance with the facts. There is no competition be tween babies, but only the effort to reach a standard. But the very pur pose of the. Child Welfare Department of the exposition would not pe served unless there were something further. .There will be advices to mothers offer ed by competent men and women: Thus the child will be benefited and also the parents. ' - ; ; These are only two of the many fea tures that will form a part of the ex hibits in the Child Welfare Building at the exposition. Miss Julia C.. Lathrop, chief of the the Children's Bureau of the . United States Department of La- I bor and one of the most noted women lame country.. is in. iau cnarge oi uib plans and preparations that, are' being made for these exhibits.
