FATHER IS FIRST
IN DRESSING BABY
Food Show Honor Captured
by Experience With Moth
erless Child.
When J. H. Wade finished far
ahead of all competitors In the
baby-dressing contest at the District
Grocery Stores food show last night
it may have been because every day
for three years he had dressed his
own motherless child.
Behind the laughter and boisterous·
ness of audience and participants in
the contest lay the hidden pathos of
a young father whom death had
forced to play the role of mother as
Well.
When his infant daughter was but
1 months old her mother died and
care of the child devolved upon Wade.
The little girl is now almost 4 years
old. Last March Wade married a
second time. The family now live
lit 524 Tenth street southwest.
Those years of practice were mir
rored in his skill, ludicrously dis
played on the stage of the Washing
ton Auditorium before a capacity au
dience. He knew his business and
knew it well.
I Dolls Serve as Babies.
The contestants were lined up,
with baby dolls before each man.
All the paraphernalia of babyhood
hung on a line. There were safety
pins aplenty and, later, plenty of
stuck fingers.
At the starting signal the men
reached for the line. They had to
dress the babies from the skin out.
Wade laughed with the rest of the
contestants.
The rules required each man also to
empty a baby's nursing bottle of milk.
Wade had his empty when his nearest
competitor's bottle was still half full.
He good humoredly showed the audi
ence, piece by piece, the clothes he
had put on the doll.
Tonight's show λτΙΙΙ feature a marsh
mallow eating contest. Pairs of girls
will hold strings in their teeth, one
on either end. Two marshmallows will
will be in the center. Holding it taut,
they will draw the string into their
mouths until they can reach and eat
the confections.
Wins China Set.
Last night's gift, a 94-piece set of
Haviland French China, went to Miss
Myrtle Johnson, of 1747 Eighteenth
street. In the afternoon, Mrs. Stella
Haines, of 1259 Sixth street southwest,
was given a set of glass baking dishes.
Tonight's award will be a gas refriger
ator., A lowboy and mirror will be
given away this afternoon.
The afternoon audience yesterday
picked 2-year-old Morton Thomas
Gallagher of 14 Bates street, as the
prize baby in the daily contest for
children between the ages of 1 and 4
years. Santa Claus awarded gifts.
A cracker-eating contest will be held
tomorrow night, open to girls only.

UNDER PROTECTION COST
Former Director of Research for
Ν. B. ▲. Says "Monopolistic
Buying" Grows.
By the Associated Press.
COLORADO SPRINGS, November
20.—Dr. Charles P. Roos, former di
rector of research for N.~R. A„ said
last night "monopolistic buying" has
grown to such proportions it is not
uncommon for the consumer to buy
goods for considerably less than cost
of production.
"For a number of years the auto
mobile industry has been telling the
steel industry how much it would pay
for steel," Dr. Roos said in an ad
dress. "This price was usually at the
cost of production including some de
preciation, but often the price was
near the direct cost of labor, mate
rials, power and administration.
"Chain stores by purchasing in very
large quantities have often been able
to sell merchandise to the consumer
for less than the small merchant
could purchase it. An order which
pays only a slight return on capital
invested but which means full pro
duction for a plant for, say, a year,
will usually be accepted, since the
only alternative may be an idle plant."

Bureau, Department of Labor, were
