COLLEGE AUDIENCE
LIKED 0'HARE LECTURE

80 College Place, Oberlin, {
May %, 1921.
My dear Mr.. O'Hare.
The Women's Liberal Club appre.
ciated Mrs. O'Hare's whole-souled
giving herself to Oberlin the day she
was here. Dozens of people have
congratulated us on our speaker for
our big meeting, and we realize that
it was only Mrs. O'Hare's kindness
of heart that made it possible. If
next year it is in anyway possible
we should like to get her again and
think we would have an even bigger
crowd.
AS to the meeting we did have
Monday night, May End, with Mrs.
0'Hare, at the First church in ODER
lin: There were some three hun
dred students, faculty and towns peo-
pie present, the largest meeting the
Women's Liberal Club has put on this
year. Mrs. O'Hare gave us her
"Crime and Criminals lecture which
is a masterpiece in it's line. It's
vividness and the splendid organiza-
ton and presentation together with
Mrs. O'Hare's irresistible personality
made her part of the program a huge
success. The first question asked
was typical of the feeling she arous-
ed. "Mrs. O'Hare, what can we do
about it,"
But perhaps the biggest tribute to
Mrs. O'Hare was that the next morn
ing every table in our dining room
(the largest girls hall in Oberlin)
was having a heated discussion on
he subject of prisons and Mrs.
.'Hare, and everyone who had not
gone was wishing she had. 1t is US
like pulling teeth to get college
people interested in anything vitality
'eal in ife.
Once more let me express my most
sincere gratitude to you and Mrs.
)'Hare for your service to Oberlin
n particular and mankind in gen
raj.
Earnestly yours,
Ruth Edgerton.

SOPHIA.

TINE wiSest of feminine names is
Sophy, or Sophia, as she should
be called properly. 1t is perhaps the
only name which is closely associated
with Divine attributes, since its origin
dates back TO the dedication of that
most gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. 1t was called
st. Sophia (the holy wisdom of God).
According to the preacher in the
Book of Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom is the
mother of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear, and this idea is said to have
suggested the allegory of the holy
woman with three daughters so called.
and in compliment to the newly built
church, the niece of Justinian's EN-
press, afterward wife of his nephew
and successor, was called Sophia. The
name straightway' became fashionable
among the daughters of the nobility
of Greece and was carried, through
Slavonians, to Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess of that name in go, and an.
other, daughter of King Geysa, mar.
ried Magnus of Saxony and spread the
use of the name throughout Saxony.
Denmark is said to have received il
through this latter princess and has
since made it almost a national name
Its vogue with the royalty of Den
mark is unmistakable and its use
spread through all classes.
England barely escaped having q
Queen Sophia and ever though Sophia
Dorothea of Yette never actually as
cended the throne of England, her
eranddaughters gave 1t vogue in the
British isles in the reign of the House
of Hanover.
England claimed both Sophia and
Sophy. France makes her Sophie;
Italy Sofia, Germany Sophia and
Fieka, and Russia Sofia.
Sophia has an old talismanic stone
m~alachite. 1t protects its wearer from
danger, if it is engraved with an i'm.
age of the sun. 1t is particularly
potent for children and is said to ward
off disease and promote peaceful slum.
Der if attached to a child's cradle.
Saturday is Sophia's lucky day and .
her lucky number.

HOW MUCH SALT AND WATER
USED IN COOKING CEREALS

Cereals vary considerably in the
amount of water absorbed as they
are cooking, specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture
state. This fact accounts for the
thin oatmeal OF the too thick grits
which sometimes appear from the
hands of an inexperienced cook. A
cup of hominy grits should be cooked
IN twice as much water as a cup of
Scotch oatmeal, and it requires twice
as much salt as any other cereal. The
table below gives the proportions of
salt and water to use in cooking l
cup of cereal of the various kinds:
