This is the day set aside by official
proclamation of the governors of the
various states of the union. Today,
the close of the last great Loan drive
a nation of men is doing honor to the
mothers that bore them. The mothers
who gave their sons for the cause OF
freedom and the mothers who saw
their sons return from the war;
mothers whose hearts broke at the
dreaded official message KILLED IN
Action" and mothers whose hearts to-
day are overlooking with gladness be-
cause a boy has been spared; and suf-
fered more than they will ever tell for
their honor.
The day is also a memorial to the
mothers who have laid down their
lives, some of them is giving birth to
a soul who has been a power for good
some of them after long lives of
loving sacrifice. but the mothers of
men, the embodyment of the love of
God on earth, are held in remem-
brance today by the millions who live
under the Stars and Stripes
The white carnation, brings its mes
sage of love and purity from the
hearts of men to the mothers of men
If you have a mother today, send her
some flowers, and if your mother Is
numbered among the blessed on the
other side wear white carnation in
her honor.

Conservation Construction, it is
called, and that IS what it really is,
even though the children in the pub
lie schools still speak of it as the
drawing class" and of Miss Emma
Woodman as the drawing teacher"
The illustration above shows the re-
suits of some of this conservation con-
struction work in the schools of Albu-
querque. Miss Emma WOodman, who
is the teacher of Industrial art IN the
city schools. is the person who is re-
sponsble for the enthusiasm with
which the youngsters are taking up
the work of making things with their
hands. Incidently she IS also respon-
sible for making the work an incen-
tive for backward pupils to make up
their grades, and the reports that
some who have usually been in the
"u' class. have recently carried home
has been more than gratifying to both
teachers and parents.
The bird houses and BIRD sticks
shown in the picture have an been
made in the fifth and sixth grades
and are the work of children who
had no tools or workshop and no
material except what they could pick
up in the way of discarded boxes and
tin cans. At the suggestion of the in
dustrial art teacher, lnallets were
made of spools, holes being bored with
hot pokers; an old ice pick was re-
QUESTIONED for use as a stipDler in
metal work; and the metal for really
useful and ornamental articles was
found in the tin cans picked up on
the sand hills.
There will be an exhibit, which will
be principally an exhibit of conserva-
ton construction work, in the city
schools on May % and 20. Fifty
rooms will have their share in this
exhibit, each grade will nave a GER
tain theme for its work. Ranches
and farm homes will be exhibited in
the third grades; japanese gardens in
the fourth grades; bird villages are
being built in the fifth grades, and
the sixth grades will exhibit flying
circuses; in the Central school iron
work; felt applique in the Library
school, and commercial art in the
High school. Each ward will have
its own exhibit. l-.
The work of the children in con-
servation construction has created
enough enthusiasm among them to
make them prefer the drawing les
SON." as they call it, to a movie
show, and in the words OF the small
boy himself, that's going some"
Their work has attracted the atten-
ton of leading art journals and the
above picture is being featured in the
School Art Magazine and the Indus
trial Arts Journal.
The art exhibits Of the city schools
have never attracted the attention
of the Albuquerque public as largely
as they deserve. Such work as has
| been done this year should meet with
the whole hearted support of every
person in the city. Go to the exhibit;
encourage and enthuse the teachers
and the youngsters.

the direction of Miss Cooperrider en-
tertained a large audience on Wednes-
day evening at the Elks' theater with
delightful three-act play, Mrs.
Briggs Poultry Yard. 1t was clean
comedy with a romance running
through it. While the plot was world
old, the dialogue was crisp and witty,
and there were frequent laughter and
applause. Kate Andrews as MRS
Briggs was inimitable and no pro-
fessional could have done better.
Constance Walter, as the heroine, car
ried off the heavy honors in the ro
nance. LOIS Gaus as Mrs. Briggs
neighbor, was a scream, and her APP
pearance was the signal each time
for loud merriment and applause.

Wagner, who was cast for the humor-
Gus part, and Gerald Devies. as son
of Mrs. Briggs, shared honors almost
equally. The play was given for the
benefit of the French orphans and
netted something like 500 above
expenses.

GAVE JEWELLERS IN SESSION.

The meeting of the Cave Dwellers
on Thursday evening around the fire
place at the new Museum went down
in the records of the club as a me-
morable one. In fact. the meetings
are proving so enjoyable. that it has
been determined to continue them
during the summer in the Patio, in
stead of taking the vacation that the
bylaws provide for in June, July and
August.
Thursday evening Edgar l.. Street,
in paper entitled Introducing a
Work of Art" sprung surprise by
unwilling Il painting by the artist,
Warren f. Rollins. which had been
especially prepared to point moral
in the excellent discussion of ethics
and aesthetics in relation to art crit
icism. The paper, while earnest and
philosophic, also sparkled with witty
illusions and humor and aroused an
animated discussion, in which among
others, Dr. William Thompson Sedg
wick of Boston, the noted biologist
and author made Il splendid talk that
brought out sincere applause. Wes-
Icy Bradfield was the host of the eve
ming and Rev, j. Willis Hamblin pre-
sided.

MEETING OF DRAMA LEAGUE.
As had been predicted. the meeting
of the Drama league of the Santa Fo
Woman's club on Tuesday evening,
museum night, at the new Museum,
proved intensely interesting. Mrs.
Mary Austin, in her talk, THE Prom
Use of the Drama in America drew
response to such an extent that she
was kept busy for almost an hour
after her talk answering pointed ques-
tions.
In her lecture she defined the fun
damentals upon which the drama is
developed. She reviewed the great
ges of the drama and pointed out
what makes some dramatic produc-
lions live. emphasizing at the same
time the futility and the ephemeral
character of the drama produced in
New York City. 1t was a lecture that
not. only informed, but also inspired
with enough of the personal interest
IN it to hold the closest attention of
those present. Mrs. Laughlin presid-
ed and announced that since the meet
ings had been so profitable and enter
tanning that they would be continued
during the summer. even though the
other departments of the Woman's
club took their annual summer vaca-
ton. Mrs. Austn's lectures have
drawn so much comment that she has
been asked to give them in other
places, but thus far has consented
merely to speak at Sunmount
