"Titanic" as Baby's Name.

A baker, on registering the birth OF
his daughter, at Arad, in Hungary, In
formed the registrar that he intended
to have her christened Titanic, as she
was born on the day the White Star
liner sank. The official, however. re-
fused to accept this name. as 1t Is
not to be found in the calendar OF Ro-
mar Catholic saints days. and the
baker had to content himself with the
less topical name Of Rosalia- In this
case the rule OF the church. which is
upheld by the state, saved the child
from bearing through life an appella-
ton which is not only unsuitable, to
say the least OF 1t, for a little girl. but
would also recall for many years one
OF the most tragic disasters OF mod

rule operates rather hardly, as when
