Lots of Babies and All Of Them Are Popular.

It probably was not known until last week how many babies there are in Rensselaer. It took the Princess Theatre's baby picture show to show that race suicide is not troubling this city and at the same time it was shown that for good looks we can back any other city in the nation off the earth. Traveling photographers had been busy taking baby pictures for several days and the pictures were made into slides and shown at the Princess, much to the delights of great crowds Friday and Saturday evening and for Saturday matinee. Every person who attended the shows were given votes and the prettiest and most popular babies were selected in this way. The three prizes were awarded as follows: Bernard Franklin Haskell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haskell, first. Audrey Jane and Louise Carson, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Carson, second. Ruth and Virginia Thompson, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ray D. Thompson, third. The affair was a great success and all who attended the theatre were pleased.
