think our destiny lies, oil fuel Is now
paramount-used pretty nearly ex-

Better evidence that oil is regarded
as the naval fuel OF the future is
found In the fact that all our most
powerful new battleships, lately built
or building, and all our new torpedo
boat destroyers are arranged to burn
oil exclusively. That means that the
two most important classes of naval
fighters---for the dcstroyers have

If conditions are such that the plan
can be carried out the naval officials
would much prefer to use their fuel
ships to transfer coal and oil from
the point of production COR the near

have the warships repair as they
need fuel to these supply depots
where their needs can be served. To
render it the easier TO operate on such
an arrangement. Uncle Sam has dot

fueling stations.

there in the Indiana wilderness so
far from civilization that her body
was consigned to the ground without
II prayer, the boy determined that she
should not go unhonored, and three
months later he persuaded parson

and conduct the services for the dead
over her grave. In after years when

graves of mothers whose relatives
were not in the city to perform this
loving service.
In 1910 the Governor Of the state
of Washington set aside the eighth
of May of that year as Mothers Day
for that state, and ever since that time
the proclamation of Mothers Day has
been issued with the same regularity
as that OF Thanksgiving. a request
Is also added that each person wear
white flower on the day and that
special services should be held in the
churches.
The state of Oklahoma was the next
to fall in line with Mothers Day
proclamation, when Governor Lee
Cruce in 1912 paid such glowing
tribute to motherhood in his procla-
nation TO the people Of that State:
Each citizen, whether old or
young. rich or poor, happy or
sorrowful, remember her whose
love passeth human understand

Since that time many States have
followed the example of these two
Western States, and at present the day
has taken a prominent place among
our feast days. Sermons are preached
on the subject of motherhood in the
majority of our churches The Sum

out to the cemeteries to cover the

Mothers Pensions
The celebration of Mothers Day
has brought about a stronger feeling
on the subject of pensioning mothers,
and one is surprised to learn how
many States have already adopted the
pensioning system for mothers who
are too poor to properly care for their
children. While the plan is too new
to show very many benefits to the
mother and child the sponsors of the
bill In the City of Chicago are of the

Liquid Fuel In the Navy
But to get back to the subject of
why Uncle Sam should not worry
about the coal situation is that Uncle
Sam Is no longer dependent upon ono
sort of fuel for maintaining a mobile
offensive. Time was when coal was
as essential as powder for a running
fight on the high seas. but never
again, in our generation.
| wonder If you know to what ex-
tent Uncle Sam has adopted liquid
fuel for our warships-oil as a sub
sttute for black diamonds. There has
been nothing secret about the division
OF allegiance, but It has come about so
quietly that not every newspaper
reader has realized that oil is every bit
as important nowadays as is coal, for

her as big as an Atlantic liner, down
to iron schooners such as the Saturn,
less than three hundred feet in length.
Some of these fuel ships such as
the Cyclops, Jason Jupiter, Neptune
and Nereus, are truly the last word
in fuel hips--powerful big burden
bearers built especially to the order
of the United States Government, and
each fitted above decks with IA steel
frame work, suggestive of an ele-
waited railroad trestle, that makes the
craft look like a freak but that is of
tremendous assistance and economy
when It comes to loading or unload
ing fuel. Each of these ships cost
million dollars or over and in contrast
to the schooners and barges that were
used in days gone by to leisurely de-
liver fuel, it may be noted that the
twentieth century fuel shifters can
steam merrily along at n 17-milc per
hour clip.
Fuel Storage Plants n Plenty
Fuel ships are the arteries that
carry to our fighting ships the blood
that makes for action, but the very
heart of the system is found IN the
fuel storage plants scattered up and
down our coasts and at strategic
points overseas. Hero the supply
must be ever ready and ineXhaustible.
Under normal conditions. too, our
Warships take fuel aboard at one or
another of these storage plants be-

Time was when he let George do it..
even as you and l are at the tender
mercies of the teamster for our few
tons in the cellar, Later, however, il
becomes apparent that If the Navy
department was TO get anywhere with
the chore of fueling fleets in many
waters it must have it's own supply
depots at home and abroad and must
have its own craft that would at will,
either deliver fuel direct to warships
or fetch and carry between home ports
and distant fueling stations.
Doubtless the opening of. the PAN
una Canal helped in some degree to
bring this about, but at any rate we
now have under the Stars and Stripes
fleet OF GOLFERS and tank ships Of
very respectable size, Some of these
are for coal exclusively; others are for
oil, but a number are so arranged that
either oil or coal or both can be trans
ported. Naturally, the coal ships out
number the tankers. because for all
that we talk about the wonderful
strides that oil fuel is making in our
Navy. and 1t is remarkable progress
all right. the fact remains that coal
is yet the dominant fuel in the Navy
and there are scores Of ships. big and

not fitted to burn anything else.

the pagans when Cybele, the Great
Mother of Gods, was idealized in
Greece two centuries or more before
the coming of Christ. Later the day
became known as the festival of Hill
aria and was held on the Ides Of
March. As was the custom of the
day, offerings were made at the tenn
pie. With the advent of Christianity
the festival was changed, and although
it still included many pagan customs,
it became a celebration in honor Of
Mother Church and was held on Mid

Lent. On this day the faithful came

20 bring offerings TO Mother Church.
Finally. the day took the name of
Mothering Sunday, and was set aside
as the time when people should pay
visits to their parents, especially to
their mothers, also that they should
carry with them some cake or trinket.
Going a-mothering" soon became the
fashion and a certain kind of cake
known as simnel cake was carried as
a gift to the mother. Herrick, the
poet, in addressing one of the char
acters OF his poem on Mothering
says:
"Ill TO thee a simnel bring
Gainst thou so -mothering,
SO that when she blesses thee,
Half that blessing thoult give me-"
This proves that even In the early
days the mothers blessing was highly
regarded.
In England the simnel cakes were
composed of a crust made Of fine -four
and water with sufficient saffron to
give It deep yellow color and the
interior filled with such ingredients
as is used in plum puddings. They
are boiled and brushed over with egg
and set away to harden. When they
arc to be used they must be rebaked
and softcned. This custom was in
vogue during the seventeenth century
when every child who resided away
from home was expected to carry a
simnol to his or her mother. Free
quently the cakes were kept until
Easter and served as the desert for
tho dinner on that day.
Early Celebrations
Mothers Day was first observed in
| 1908 in Philadelphia by several of
the Sunday schools, and in 1909 about
two thousand people took part in the
services. Seattle, Washington, how
ever, has the honor OF being the real
pioneer in a genuine Mothers Day
celebration. This was in 1909 when
hundreds of people gathered in the
churches of that city on the second
Sunday in May. They carried bou-
quets and wreaths of flowers and at
the close of sermons on "Mother
Love" the entire congregations held
their flowers aloft while the pastor
pronounced a blessing, and at the
close of the service the flowers We're
