IP TO THE LATE EICHTEEN-NINETIES,
~ when Father walked in the front
door of his home and closed it behind him,
he shut out the world. Telephones had
been invented but, like most people, he
hadn't installed one. There was no way for
anybody to get at US except by climbing up
the front stoop and ringing the bell; and if
the bell rang late at night, Father looked
out of the window to see who it was. He
thought nothing of this = homes had al
ways been shut off since men began build
ing them, and it seemed only natural.
Once in a long while a messenger boy
would bring him or Mother telegram
maybe two or three times year. As this
generally meant bad news, we were nervous
about getting kilograms.
No telegraph poles were allowed on Fifth
Avenue, but they stood in long rows on
other streets. Old Margaret, our cook, was
mysti6ed by all those wires, up in the air.
We had wires in our house, to be sure; they
had been strung inside the walls to ring
bells with; but they were good, honest, old.
fashioned wires and to make them work we
had to pull them. There was none of this
dangerous stuff called electricity in them.
Electricity was much too risky thing to
put in home, and neither we boys nor
Margaret could make out what it was.
"a 7hen the telephone was invented
w and was ready to use, hardly any.
body cared to install one. The telephone
company sent us circulars in which they
made large claims: they said that an impor.
tant department store now had telephone,
and three banks had ordered one apiece,
and some enterprising doctors were getting
them. But though people saw vaguely that
a telephone might be convenience if every
household installed one, they decided to
wait in body until everyone did.
Father had to have one downtown, but he
wouldn't use it himself: he had it put in the
back Office, where the bookkeeper dealt
with it, bringing Father the message if
necessary. The typewriter and gelatine
hectograph were in the back Office too. But

PreSident-elect Kennedy

visit to his wife and baby

who is scheduled to arrive
in Washington about 3
pm.
Senator Kennedy said
his wife, Jacqueline and
their infant son both are
doing fine.
There isn't anything
different. There's not much
news. But I'm sure you'll
be able to make something
out of it." he said to re-
porters with a smile as he
got back into his white
Lincoln convertible to
return to his house in
Georgetown.
The Senator, who had
been holding conferences
at his house all morning.
assured reporters that he
would spend the afternoon

AS time went by and the
Senator still did not arrive by

And about that time Lieut..
Clarence 8. Muse Of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment received a call from the
Kennedy house reporting that
the Senator still was In con-
ference and would be delayed
for q while longer.
The President-eleet's press
secretary. Pierre Salinger.
announced at o noon press
briefing that the Senator will
spend most of the day at

will be present during a birth
day party that was to be held
for his daughter Caroline,
who was 3 on Sunday.

til she feels up to tin

There's nothing abnormal

will need q bit more strength.

Therefore. DR.. Brooks con-
tinued, he would not want to
make a fiat statement about
the Kennedy baby. Generally.
however, he said in answer to
another question, babies are
able to make such a trip by
the time they are about two
weeks old. The baby could fly

added.

said. to build up her strength
for a fairly arduous journey
shortly after leaving the hos
pital.
Asked If that meant Mrs.

ately from the hospital to

of life almost completely
without extra oxygen. his
doctor said this morning.
The infants food con-
sumption also has increased
since yesterday, DR.. Edward
B. Brooks. the baby's pedia-
trician. said after seeing him
this morning.
Still In Incubator
The baby will remain in
the incubator for another "a
to 48 hours, said DR.. Brooks,
but the only reason is for
the heat"
"He would net be as COM
Portable If we had to cover
him with blankets" the doc
tor explained.
DR.. Brooks said he will see
the Kennedy baby later this
afternoon. He sees the baby
twice each day. but not be-
cause the baby's condition
Is so delicate as to require it.
II guess If he wasn't the
President-elect's baby, I'd
see him every day or every
other day like I do most Of
my babies" he declared.
Baby John is now taking
about two ounces Of milk at
each of his three-hour feed
ings, compared to one ounce
and three-quarters per feed
ing yesterday. The formula
has been increased to one
tablespoon Of powdered milk
to two ounces of water. Yes
terday it was one tablespoon
Of milk to three ounces of
water.
DR.. Brooks said the baby
was doing fine" when he saw
him about $3.50 this morning.
He is " eating nicely" and
breathing nicely and nor
mally," he added.
Asked if the baby would be
well enough to accompany
Mrs. Kennedy when she goes
to Florida, probably in about
two weeks, DR.. Brooks said
the question had not been
raised with him by anyone,

tor as to when she would
carry a full schedule, she re-
portedly said to him. Give
me as much time as you can

American Society of Agricultural

"In Illinois," Prof. Jedele said,
'interest in confinement raising
of hogs is on the increase. Farm
ers were the first to try ponds as
method of disposal of manure.
But lagoons or 'stabilization'
ponds have been used for many
years for treatment of domestic
and industrial wastes"
Engineers are working too on
practical methods of saving the
fertilizer values in the pond wat

acted upon by bacteria. One test
