'Pressure ' Feeder
For Infants Devised
By CHRIS EDMONDS
SAN MATEO, Calif, m - Two
j-jung couples who've never fed a
baby in their lives have come up
v iih a gadget they think may be
the answer to the problem of feed
ing fussy infants.
"We got tired of listening to
friends with small babies tell
about their feeding" troubles, so we
decided to do something about it,"
says Hector Howard, an optical
technician.
One night Howard and his wife,
Pat, together with Evelyn and Don
Decmer, sat down around a kitch
en table. Both couples are child
less, Evelyn, Howard's sister, was
playing idly with ballpoint pen,
flipping the retractor.
"That's it," she cried suddenly.
"That's the principle of the thing."
As It turned out, she was right,
four of them in i session that
lasted nearly all night, came up
with plans for an infant feeder
which combines the principle of
suction with that of pressure to
insure an even flow, of strained
foods into a recalcitrant baby's
mouth. . '
Plunger Device
The feeder, on which a patent
has been obtained, is simple. It
consists of a round glass tube sim
ilar to shape to an ordinary nurs
ing bottle, but about half the size.
One end is fitted with a regulation
ripple, the holes enlarged. The
v her is, equipped with a plunger
l.ke device on which pressure mav
be applied. The whole feeder can
be held easily 'in one hand, the
thumb working the plunger.
Operation is as easy as the de
vice is simple. The mother puts
a much strained food as her
child requires into the tube, screws
the nipple on one end and the
plunder on the other with plastic
caps and starts feeding. The baby.
accustomed to a nipple, sucks hap
pily; the mother applies just
enough prssure to keep the food
flowing steadily.
Provei Popular
"We let one mother use a feeder
and within week or two of her
neighbors were borrowing it
daily," says Howard. "All three of
them were having trouble getting
their babies to eat off a spoon. The
babies cried and slopped stuff all
over themselves and the kitchen,
With our feeder you can't spill
anything and the baby seta to eat
in a way he knows instinctively,"
If you've ever had a small baby,
you know what Howard it talking
about. There isn't anything messi
er than trying to get a tiny infant
to make the sudden change from
milk through a nipple to thicker
foods off a spoon.
The present trend of starting in
fants on strained foods-spinach,
beets,, carrots and the like in
their early weeks is a factor How
ard thinks ii in his favor.
Eats Eagerly '
"One of our friends had a baby
who hurt her mouth on a spoon,"
he says. "After that you couldn't
get one near her. We let them use
a feeder and the baby eats eager
ly. She's used to the nipple and
gets all she's supposed to with no
fuss or strain.
"That was a couple of months
ago. Now she's eating from a
spoon with no trouble. Got to like
the new strained foods and forgot
about the spoon hurting her.
"Another baby absolutely would
n't touch spinach. He'd knock the
spoon right out of his mother's
hand. But she took one of the
feeders and put different kinds of
food in it in layers. The baby
lapped it up, including spinach,
without knowing the difference,
Now he eats spinach regularly."
The feeder still is not on the
market, but the inventors hope it
will be by next fall.

powder and earth moving ma
chines, carving building sites.

'Five national firms have built

"I intend to campaign in the
state to the extent that a very
crowded schedule allows," said the
Tennessean, here on a five day
southern California campaign. "I
hope that when the Democratic
convention meets in Chicago, I
will have the Democrats of South
Dakota strongly at my side."
Kefauver added: "I am happy
once again to place my cause be
fore the people of South Dakota.
Their problems are similar to
those of Wisconsin and Minnesota
both of whose primaries I
entered."
The senator's national campaign
manager, F. Joseph Donohue, said
George A. (Archie) Bangs, of Ra
pid City, has been appointed chair
man of Kefauver's South Dakota
campaign.
Kefauver is entered in the Cali

in the midst of a multi-million

of Denver, important laboratories
have been established by the fed
era' government. One is the U. S.
Bureau of Standards Laboratory.
A physicist there, Alan II. Shap

"a major supporting role" in the

Favorite Son
Offer Refused
BREWER Maine Gov.
Edmund S. Muskie Saturday was
offered Maine's 14 democratic
national convention votes as a
"Favorite Son" candidate for
president but refused them,
i After a tumultuous demonstra
tion at the- party's state conven
tion, the 41-year-old governor
said it would be "inappropriate
and untimely for me to accept
this honor."
Presentation of Muskie's name
by Robert J. Baldacci, a Bangor
city councillor, touched off shout
ing, cheering, band music and
a parade of delegates around the
convention hall.
Muskie, first democrat named
governor of Maine in 20 years,
is a candidate for re-election in
the June 18 primaries.
The convention elected 24 dele
gates to cary Maine's 14 votes to
Chicago unpledged. Four dele
gates have a full vote, the rest
half a vote.
An informal Associated Press
poll indicated that delegates
favoring Adlai Stevenson hold 5
votes, Sen. Estes Kefauver 3 to
votes and Gov. Ilarriman of New
'York 1. Holders of four votes
were uncommitted and one with
half a vote was not present.
