Listen-in To Baby

jyjODEEX methods demand that baby sleeps in a room of his own from a very early age. When this practice is observed, every mother, however modern, spends some of her timo in bed wondering whether'-' baby is quite all right, and an occasional promenade is necessary to satisfy her that lie really is. j Modern husbands, being mechanically minded, can easily overcome this ■difficulty by fixing a microphone over I baby’s cot connected to an earphone by mother’s bob-side. According to a contributor to a London paper, a little care in arrang-. ing the position of the miorophpne-citn even ensure that baby’s regular breathing, denoting his ojj-hoidg, van be clearly heard in the earphone 1 . A suitable microphone can bp purj chased, also the other material required. Of course, where - father i “dabbles” in wireless, his odds and ends will provide nearly everything required, except the microphone, and a very efficient substitute for this can be made up with three ordinary wire nails. - A connection for the, earphone somewhere near mother’s chair in the sitting-room is also very useful when she has settled down for the evening.
