WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-While

brought the disease under definite con-
troll.

12,340.

Mother Seeking Soldier Son
Finds Another Gone 30 Years

4 TINY old woman. all in black,
< "a hustled through the throngs in
the concourse Of the Pennsylvania Sta
ton yesterday. Her expression was
fixed in lines of anxious purpose and
she darted restlessly through the
that trailed her bonnet strings over
her shoulder and already had released
one lock Of gray hair from it's sleek
confinement. Wherever her eye caught
the olive drab of the army thither she
darted peered eagerly into the face Of
her quarry and murmured a query to
which the response was always a mega
tive shake of the head.
William Fl. Eagan, the station mas
ter, leaned against the wall near the
baggage room eying her progress with
an expression of anxiety second only
to her own. For a week she had been
at her self-apponted task, Eagan knew,
for it was a week ago that she tainted
from exhaustion, hunger and nervous
strain in the station. The station mas
ter got her story at that time. Since
then Eagan has been paying her board
and lodging, his charge being in too
rapt q state to question his elaborate
but shaky story of an "aunt" who
wanted companionship.
Was Seeking Her Son
A bronzed Anzac sergeant with sun
bleached mustache and wearing the
insignia of the Victoria Cross, the
CroiX de Guerre and the British Mill
tary Medal stepped up to Eagan, his
eye on the little, old woman in her
quest for uniforms.
"What's she want?" he quericd.
"She wants her son." replied Eagan.
And then, glad to share the trouble
he had sought to lift from the woman,
he continued: "She comes from Three
Rivers, Mich. Lived on farm near
there-a widow and one son. Some
how the boy got into the army-she
couldn't keep him out. Thirty years
ago another son ran away from home
and she never got over it.
"rhis last loss pretty near knocked
her out. Some fool told her her boy
had been sent to Camp Dix and she
managed to scrape together senough
money TO get there, but couldn't find
him. Since then she's been like you
see her now, tramping the concourse
all day and asking every soldier she
sees if he Knows Edmund Cooke
that's the boy in the army. I'd pay
her way home, but / can't get her to

trusted to use his influence wisely,
for the best interests of his constitu-
ents. While he has always been a
strong party man he has, at the same
time, demonstrated his fairness, hon
esty and broadmindedness in the
framing of legislation. Both as a
public official and private citizen he
has consistently voted for and sup
ported every dry measure that came
up for consideration. A total alb
stainer himself, he is an ardent advo-
cate of the constitutional amendment
providing for national prohibition.
He was a strong supporter of the
railroad commission policy and was
one of the leaders of the progressive

drawn-out fight.
He was a potent factor in framing
| the system of state highways and,
| while his attitude on the construc-
ton of the western and eastern
| branches of the Inland Empire high
way has been misrepresented, the
, record shows that he was always fair
toward Pullman and that at the last
two sessions of the Legislature he in
sisted on an equitable division of the

not having any aspirant for the of

MOTHERS TEARS

There is only one thing more
beautiful than mothers love, and
that is mothers tears. Those tears
she shed over our little mishaps in
childhood are the selfsame beautiful
sllVery tears she sheds today when
she gives us up to Uncle Sam. That
little pink and white bundle that was
her rything-almost her reincar-
mated self i'll miniature--two or three
decades ago is the same to her today
as it was then. Time has changed
her baby boy into a mighty bearded
| man-her pride, her hope, and her
protection. 1t has replaced the
dainty baby clothes with the glorious
olive drab. 1t may have crowned
mothers head with diadem of
snow, but in her heart still blooms
the springtime. Mothers tears re-
main the same.
Dear little mother bidding good
bye to your boy today. did someone
tell you not to cry? He did not
| understand; cry-by all means cry;
lay our head upon his shoulder, dear,
cry until the olive drab is wet Your
tears are like a benediction sent from
heaven. For tears like yours a SOL
der faces hail of shot and shell to
| rescue wounded comrade from the
| shell-torn wastes of mo mans land;
for those tears the aviator shifts his
dipping planes and flies into the blue
across the enemy's lines; for those
tears the armored tank driver guides
his mighty caterpillar through the
barbed wire entanglements across the
very trench of the foe.
Never since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden has
there been such need of mothers
| tears Civilization, Christianity, hui
Misunderstanding that makes for
right--are threatened. The very
things for which Christ made the
. |
i Calvary are at stake. We are dying
for the same great cause that He died
for. Did Mary Magdalene shed
j tears?
/. Dear little mother. we thank you
for our strong, powerful bodies, for
our glorious manhood; we thank you
, for this great responsibility, but
above all we thank you for your
tears.
AS you commit our lives and des'
TIMES to the care and keeping of AL
mighty God, remember, there is one
4 thing more beautiful than a mothers
: love, God save us mothers tears.
