MOTHERS DAY MAY II
Event Will be Widely Cele-
brated and the White
Carnation i'm Evidence.

Mothers Day will be celebrated
this year on Sunday, May IL,
special services being held in many
OF the churches of the country on
that day, and the wearing of white
carnations symbolizing the purity
OF mothers love, being worn by
thousands of people. This will be
the fourth annual celebration of the
day.
Mothers Day originated with a
former West Virginia woman, Miss
Anna Jarvis. Six years ago, when
she was commemorating the death
OF her own mother, it occuri ed
to her that the second Sunday in
May, falling as it does, in the time
of the year when the skies are blue
and the spring blossoms at their
height, may we'll be set aside as an
annual festival upon which due
tribute of affection and remembrance
should be rendered to all mothers.
Miss jarvis plead her cause so elo-
quently with leading clereymen
that finally May 10, 1910, was Sc,
aside as the first Mothers Day, and
now, annually, it is celebrated on
the Sunday nearest that date.

MUST SLOW VI

"Automobile speed demons will
have TO slow up, at least until flood
sediment has been cleaned off the
streets, was the notice served yes
terday by the city commits toner's.
Police officers were instructed to
rigidly enforce the city ordinance.
requiring a speed of not more than
miles an hour in the business dis
trict, and fifteen miles an hour else
where.
"The commissioners took Thu
action to minimize dust conditions
1t was stated by Commissioner
Scanlon that frequent complains had
been made by re idents on accoun,
of dust clouds raised by automo.
bile speeding through flood sedl
ment.
sit was first planned to restrict
the speed limit to eigh, miles all
over the city, but it was finally de-
cided that fifteen miles an hour in
the outer districts would not create
serious discomfort"
1t is fair to presume that some of
the complaining citizens of Hunt
lngton on the question of being
Hooded on their porches and in their
homes with clouds of dust every
few minutes during the hours when
automobile owners are ENJOYING an
outing for themso Ives, their babies
and even their pet dcgs, are them
selves guilty of being a nuisance
when they drive at % to 80 miles AL
hour through neighboring towns
and roads raining clouds Of dust
that deprive less fortunate citizens
from even the enjoyment OF open
windows or porches from May to
November of each year.
Kindly remember that "there are
others" in this world who do not
enjoy dust as steady diet, or we
shall ask as you have done, to have
our municipal authorities enforce
the speed ordinances to the dustless
stage. Again the golden rule APP
plies.

are more important things to con serve, moro vital matters to be made subjects for international broils, than the future of the seal herd.
 We might provide for the use of idle water power and save our coal. That would benefit people who nev- CT expect to be in the market for a sealskin. We might make use of timber now rotting in forest reserves and thus reduce the first cost of home-building. That would reach pocketbooks which will never be op- ened to purchase a fur coat.
 This does not mean that. the seals should be left to the agents of des- truction. They are worth preserv- ing and should be saved from ex- tinction, but from a utilitarian stand point they are not a national asset nor a future necessity of such val ue that three nations should peri odically find them a threatened source of disruption and a stumbling block to continued amity .

BUSY CHRISTMAS
 FOR THE POSTOFFICE

With the Christmas season the parcel pest system of this country is to receive fs seyerest trial. Be fore the change in the laws, and while the size O: parcels to be car riCd was small and the postal rate high, the Christmas season saw the mails flooded with parcels, which taxed the facilities of the de- partmeut to the utmost and made the Christmas season one of unre- hitting toll for clerks and for car riers
 The present law went into effect on January l last, after the holiday rush was over. The Christmas rush last year was a severe one, but it had this advantage: It left the postoftices of the country in a fair condition to handle the new busi- ness created by the extension of the parcel post
 us y SAA LlLe -Ae @-A~HSS VI N1~ business to be handled can only be surmised The one sure thing is that it will be out of all proportion greater than has ever before been known. The department is making preparations m anticipation of an extraordinary rush. In some of the larger offices it has already author ized the employment of twice the number of extra men that were needed to handle the holiday bus mess of last year. The prObabili- ties are that the extra provision will be found none too large.-Seat- tie Post-InJelligeucer.
