Meet Methodist Hospital’s Most Perfect Baby

One of these six babies, all of them born last year in the maternity ward of the Methodist Hospital, Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn, will soon be named the most perfect baby of the year. The nurses are lining them up to be judged by the pediatricians as part of the hospital’s fourth annual Perfect Baby Contest yesterday. The fist baby on the left is making a grab for the first prize, perhaps it’s an omen. The others don’t seem to be very much interested. Which of the six do you think should win?
