Show Battles Liked by Babies. The fondness of babies for rattles has been taken advantage of by mothers moth-ers during many milleniums. Egyptian Egyp-tian tombs have yielded specimens which delighted youngsters over 4.000 years ago on the banks of the Nile. But so far as we can learn, the little Pharaohs never amused themselves with a little rattle, as American babes do who flourish in countries infested in-fested by rattlesnakes. The ancients an-cients were great serpent charmers, but they were not in it with the modern mod-ern product of Blue Tent, in this state, who gets his amusement out of live rattlers.
