MAKE WAR ON "BABY TALK
Cincinnati School Authorities Have L.
sued Special Appea! to Women's
saa Clubs OF the City.

An appeal has been made by the
school authorities Of Cincinnati to the
mothers Of that city to enlist in war
against baby talk" and its effects on
their children, and a 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, it seems
to sound good to the baby. and while
the claim that it makes Sufferers and
causes other defects Of speech may
have some truth in it, 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 we'll 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

the corral, it meant raiders-no less.
Dick called softly to the snorting
horse; and, hurriedly getting into
clothes and boots, he went out with a
gun in each hand. Sol was quivering In
every muscle. Like dog he followed
Dick around the house. Hearing
shouts in the direction of the corrals,
Gale bent swift steps that way.
He caught up with Jim Lash, who
was also leading a white horse.
They reached the corral to find
Bedding shaking, roaring like mad
man. The gate was open. the corral
was empty. "Tom, where's the Papa
go?" said Ladd. ,..r
Hes gone, Laddy-gone!'
"Double-crossed us, Ell? see here's

Indian fetched it from the forge. 1t

much time lost forcin' that gate" +.
Daylight made clear some details of
the raid. The cowboys found tracks
of eight raiders coming up from the
river bed where their horses had been
left. Evidently the Papago had been
false to his trust. His few per-
sonal belongings were gone. More
horses were found loose in the fields.
The men soon rounded up eleven of
the whites, all more or less fright

Bedding was unconsolable. He
cursed and rallied, and finally declared
he was going to trail the raiders.

The morning was bright, still, and
clear as crystal. The heat waves had
not yet begun to rise from the desert.
Nell sat perched high upon the top
most bar of the corral gate. Dick
leaned beside her, now with his eyes
on her face, now gazing out into the
alfalfa field where Belongs thorough
breds grazed and pranced and romped
and whistled. Nell watched the
horses. She loved them, never tired
Of watching them. But her gaze was
too consciously averted from the
yearning eyes that tried to meet hers
to be altogether natural.
A great fenced field Of velvety green
alfalfa furnished a rich background
for the drove Of about twenty white
horses Blanco Diablo was the only
one in the field that was not free to
roam and Craze where he listed. A
stake and halter held him to one
corner, where he was severely let
alone by the other horses. He did not
like this isolation. BlancO Diablo was
not happy unless he was running, or
fighting a rival. OF the two he would
rather fight. If anything white could
resemble devil, this horse surely
did. He had nothing beautiful about
him, yet he drew the gaze and held
it. The look of him suggested dis
content, anger, revolt, viclousness.
When he was not grazing or prancing.
he held his long, lean head level, point
ing his nose and showing his teeth.
Belongs favorite was almost all the
world to him, and he swore Diablo
could stand more heat and thirst and
cactus than any other horse he owned,
and could run down and kill arg
horse in the Southwest.
The cowboys admitted some of
Belongs claims for Diablo, but they
gave loyal and unshakable allegiance
