Bamberger or Watkins?

In Chicago, a Mr. & Mrs. William Watkins were startled last fortnight to discover on their new baby's back a bit of adhesive tape labeled "Bamberger." They telephoned to the hospital where Mrs. Watkins had lain-in, then to one Charles Bamberger & wife. Had their newborn son been labeled Watkins? Mr. & Mrs. Bamberger looked. . . . Yes, he had!

Then the question was: which had been mixed, the babies or the labels? The babies, looked almost exactly alike. Doctors made blood tests--but all four parents had the same type of blood. Pigmentation was no clue for Mr. Watkins and Mrs. Bamberger are both dark, their spouses both fair. Only solution seemed to be for each family to keep the infant it had taken home from the hospital until the two age enough for anthropologists to decide which is a genuine Bamberger, which a veritable Watkins.
