In Babyland the babies are made of clay and baked in ovens until done. When they are overdone they come out brown, and when they are burnt, as it sometimes happens when the elves play a little game of African golf, then the babies come out Black. But they all seem just as happy regardless of the shade of their skin. The master of the factory keeps a stock room and in each pigeon hole he has a child. They are classified, indexed, and ready for delivery, so that when a little boy asks his mother for a brother he can get permission to call up on the 'phone and the master will deliver by stork. But this time the stork makes a mistake and picks a Black one instead of a white, which causes much trouble. The master himself rides a high-wheel bike through the air, overtakes the stork, and sees that the right baby is delivered.
