MAKE WAR ON "BABY TALK"
Cincinnati School Authorities Have To-
sued Special Appeal to Women's
Clubs of the City.

An appeal has been made by the
school authorities Of Cincinnati 10 the
mothers Of that city to enlist in war
against baby talk" and its effects on
their children, and special speaker
has been appointed to carry this cause
to the mothers clubs.
While much Of the talk with which
fond mothers beguile their babies may
sound very foolish to others, 1t seems
to sound good to the baby, and while
the claim that 1t makes Sufferers and
causes other defects Of speech may
have some truth In 1t, the baby talk"
will bear comparison with much other
talk heard by children.
While good speech is important. the
matter is Of more Importance than the
manner-in fact, good matter naturally
tends to good matter in speech. 1t Is
at least quite as important that par
ents, fathers as well as mothers, are
careful to select the right subject mat
ter for talk before and to their chill
dren as that baby talk be eliminated.
Try, as they may, the teachers are
likely to have a hard time anyway to
convince many mothers that baby talk
Is not the proper language in which
to address the baby, both as to sub
ject matter and method Of speech

Mount Olivet Church
Rev. Nicholas Rightor, Rector
Residence, 235 Olivier; Phone, Al.
qiers 81.

Services at Mount Olivet for next
Sunday. which will be the Sunday
after Christmas, will be held by the
rector, the Rev. Nicholas Rightor, as
follows:
First service will be the Holy
Eucharist at 1880 a. m.
Church School and Rector's Bible
Class at $50 a. m.
Morning Prayer and Sermon, with
the repetition of the Christmas mu-
steal service by the choir. So many
expressions about our good Christ
mas music have been heard that 1t
will doubtless mean that we will have
another good congregation Sunday
morning. This service will be held
at 10:45 a. m.
The regular 1880 o'clock Sunday
night service will not be held on
account of the New Years Eve SER
vice. The New Years Eve Euchar-
istic service, with music, will com
mence at 11:15 Sunday night and
close at midnight as We usher in the
New Year of 1928.
The general public is invited to all
services.
We had great crowds present at
the Christmas services, both at 500
and 800 o'clock. The church was
deliberately decorated with palms and
Christmas flowers. while the altar
held beautiful floral offerings Of
white carnations. The Christmas
day offering of the congregation was
the largest in the history Of the
parish, and there are still quite a
number of envelopes to be handed
in by those members who could not
be present on Christmas day.
st. Johns night, Wednesday, was
another great occasion for Mount
Olivet Church. The members Of SITS.
John Lodge No. 1873, Of the Masonic
Order, visited the church in a body
in large numbers. A good musical
program was rendered and the Rec
tor preached a special sermon to his
brother Masons.

WHY.
Engagement Ring Has Become
Reco9nized Institution

There wasn't much romance con.
nected with the ring back in the
Second century, B. c., when woman
first began to flash 1t On the fourth
finger Of her left hand as a symbol
Of be.rothal. The engagement ring
originated as q safety first" institu-
ton to hold tickle and forgetful man
to his bargain from the time he made
his first avowal Of love until the we'd
ding ceremony took place. As an
ancient document reveals:
There are many men who, for
getful Of their plighted faith, defer
the fulfillment of their nuptial con-
tracts. Therefore there shall be a
solemn declaration before witnesses
and betrothal ring given and &C
cepted."
An old German formula reads:
Il give YOU this ring as a sign Of
the marriage which has been promised
between us. provided your father
gives with you marriage portion Of q
thousand reichtalers."
During the Seventeenth century
England chose to have the engage
ment ring adorn the thumb. The rea-
son why English women wore them on
their thumbs during the reign of
George 1. was because they were too
large to wear on any other finger.
The old Hebrew betrothal rings were
almost as large as turn.ps, including
ip their superstructure reproductions
OF Solomon's temple or some other
sacred building.
At one time the engagement ring
consisted Of three hoops looped to.
gether into what was known as 9
gimmel or puzzle ring. When the
wedding took place one of these hoops
was kept by the bride, one given tt
the groom and the third bestowed on
an intimate friend who acted as wit.
