Beautiful baby contests were an outgrowth of the eugenics movement which was very popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (including in 1923). They have mostly faded away, but beauty pageants--which have the same origin--are still around.

Baby contests were a thing when eugenics was still a popular movement in the US.
