Better Baby Week at Jos-
ke’s—The Older Children
Like It Better at St. Mark’s
Parish House.
Strange things are happening in the
San Antonio infant and juvenile world.
Mysterious creatures with shining disks
on their foreheads peer learnedly into
baby throats and even look up into nos-
trils. gaze into eyes and take liberties
with sbell-pink ears. Strange men
scrutinize the flaxen head* and thump
the little round “tummies.**
Such unprecedented liberties are vo-
ciferously resented by the legion of
younger babies that are being exam-
inocl during better baby week at Jonke’s.
These are the infants under 4 years
of ace who are being examined daily In
the six booths on the third floor of
the Joske Bros. Company building by
n corns nf San Antonio physicians.
From behind the curtained booths comes
• very variety of wfil. expressive of ter-
ror indigestion protestation anger
denunciation and sometimes a mingled
expression of all these emotions.
Older Children Better.
On the other hand at the child health
conference conducted under the super-
vision of Miss Jeanie Pinckney head
of the child welfare division of the
State University Home Economics Ex-
tension Department and under the aus-
pices of the San Antonio Council of
Mothers the older children from 5 to 9
years of age are being examined nt St.
Mark's Episcopal Church parish house
with a stoicism worthy of an I nd'an
brave at the stake. Many of the chil-
dren have been through the ordeal of an
examination before and are learning if
they have not already learned that a
doctor is not an ogre to be feared.
When the younger children have been
examined at Joske's and the condition
of every part of their bodies indicated
on cards given to their parents into

dren. Services of nineteen physicians

Last year there were 330 babies ex-
amined during Better Baby Week at
Joske’s and a large number is expected
this year since the opening day indi-
cates that the response is much better
than it was last year. The crowd was
so great dlfting the examining hours
