Mothers Day

Tomorrow, May 14th, the second
Sunday in May, Is Mothers Day.
The beautiful thought of setting
aside one day in the year to be parti-
cularly devoted to ones mother was
first suggested by Miss Anna Jarvis,
of Philadelphia. who founded the Mo-
theirs Day International Association
to provide the necessary organized
support for the fostering Of the move
ment. Thanks largely to her efforts,
Mothers Day has become a recog-
nized institution as the day on which
each of US should pause to acknowl-
edge our debt of affection and graft
tude to "the best mother who ever
lived" on which We should be with
her if We can, and if we unfortunately
cannot. should make point of send
ing her a message of affection and
cheer.
The emblem of the day is the white
carnation, and it is the hope of the
Mothers Day Association that it will
be worn by every one as tribute of
respect, not only for his own mother,
but also for all the gentle and noble
motherhood of the land.

TENTH ANNUAL
MEET AT TOME

\ NThe Tome School will hold its Tenth
Annual Track and Field Meet this
year on Saturday, May 20. This
meet which in the past years has been
called the Southern Interscholastics"
is without doubt the most important
meet of its kind held in Maryland and
the change of date to the 10th pro-
,vides fitting occasion for the Mary
land boys to close their athletic sea-
son. Tome has every facility for the
staging of meet of this kind. The
track is one of the fastest in the
country. there is ample seating capa-
city for several thousand and the
whole campus lends a fitting back
ground for gala day of this kind.
The program of events is without a
doubt the most comprehensive ever
offered. In the senior open class there
are IL events, namely 100 yard dash,
22O yard dash, 440 yard. $50 yard and
l mile run, 100 yard high hurdles, 22O
yard low hurdles, relay race, high
jump, broad jump. pole vault, hammer
throw and shot put. For boys who
have never won a prize there are two
novice events: rs yard dash and $50
yard run. in the Country High School
class six events are offered namely:
rs ward dash, 220 yard dash, $50 yard
run. relay, IL pound shot put, broad
jump. An entirely new feature on
the program this year is the limited
weight Midget Events, as follows. 80
pound limit. SO yard dash, 440 yard
relay. So pound class, 60 yard dash
and 440 yard relay. lis pound class,
rs yard dash and $50 yard relay. The
term limited weight means that con-
testant may not weigh more than the
limit named for the event. 1t does
not mean for instance in the 95 pound
limit relay race for the four boys
running must average 95 pounds; it
does mean that each boy must be IS
pounds or less.
AS in former years very liberal
prizes have been offered. In addition
to the gold, silver and bronze medals
given for the first three places in each
event a large loving cup is offered 70
the highest individual point winner
and two point trophies are offered to
the school scoring the most points in
the open country school events re-
spectively. The management has ar
ranged for a corps of officials which
will insure the meets being run in
prompt and business like manner.
Lawson Robertson will act as referee:
Latrobe Cogswell is to be Clerk Of
Course; DR.. Geo. Stewart will handle
the gun. Mr.. Thomas Cornelius, VIM.
Hollowell, Jas. C. McCallister, Mar
vim H Markle and Fred P. Hall all of
Baltimore, are among the rest of the
officials.
This day ought to be one long re-
membered by the school boys Of Mary
land. With the arrival of the excur-
sion boat from Baltimore with prob
ably more than 1000 people at 1890
on to the beginning of the meet at 2
promptly, every minute until 4:30 is
filled with activity on the part of the
contestants, After the departure of
the boat at 500 the attention will then
be turned to the Statewide Public
Speaking Contest which takes place
in the evening.

Barns And Dwelling Destroyed By Fire

The dwelling house and two barns
on the farm of William and John
Stewart, near Zion, were totally de-
stroyed by fire on Thursday about l
o'clock p. m. There was no stock in
the barn at the time of the fire, the
origin of which is unknown. The
household effects were saved owing
to the fact that the fire started in one
of the barns, thereby saving them.
The farm is tenanted by Joseph Wor-
rilow, who had just gone to the field
with his horses to work, when flames
were noticed issuing from the barn,
and he and his men hurried to the
house in order to save the property
from destruction with the above re-
suit. The buildings We're insured.

Friday evening of next week, Ice

Movie Actresses

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls As their
chief beauty? In fact (this Is q
secret), many r leading ladies just
because of their attractive locks.
Inquiry among them discloses the
fact that they bring out all the nat
ural beauty of their hair by careful
shampooing, not with any soap or
makcshift, but with a simple mix
ture which they make up for them
selves by putting a t%easpoonful Of
c%anthrox, (which they get from the
druggist), in a cup Of hot water and
applying this instead of soap. After
its use their hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
