WORDS DATE BACK
TO MERE SOUNDS

Words are not the only means of
communication between individuals.
Signs are used. and have been since
recorded history. among many Of
the savage races. Sounds among
animals serve the same purpose.
Even to this day We have certain
sounds among the most civilized
nations that convey ideas of our
minds. For instance. a laugh may
indicate enjoyment, amusement or
derision. \ cry may be OF pain, of
astonishment, of prohibition. of as
sent, or of supplication. A cough.
or any other sound, articulate or
inarticulate for the purpose Of at
tracting the attention of another, is
an act of language. Probably Ian
guage began by inarticulate sounds
and signs with primitive man and
In the instant that a sound or sign
was first meant to convey an idea
in that instant speech began.
A dictionary is the easiest medium
by which to increase word-knowI-
edge. We have chosen The New
universities Dictionary for a gem
eral distribution to our readers, be-
fieving this to be a useful and ac-
ceptable gift. The coupon which
we publish daily in this paper ex-
plains the terms by which everyone
may possess this treasury Of knowI-
edge.
