CHRISTIAN MOTHERHOOD"
 SERMON BY DIR. HENDRIX

Before an overflowing audience, Dr. w. k. Hendrix, pastor of Highlands Methodist church, preached yesterday morning on Christian Motherhood using as text, When I recall the un- feigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and also in thy mother Eunice." pr. Hendrix said in part:
 These words are found in the last let ter from St. Paul that history has pre- served to us, addressed to Timothy, his worthy and capable successor in apos- tolic service to the Christian congrega- tions of Asia Minor
 Timothy had been prepared to take ur the mantle of the ascending apostle to the Gentiles. What a volume of heroic struggle is suggested to us in the phrase, which was first in thy grandmother Lois
 This godly Hebrew woman, living in the midst of pagan customs and tradi- tions had labored and prayed to impart to her daughter, Eunice, the true faith of her fathers. As she grew to woman hood EuNice followed in her mothers footsteps standing in the midst of pa gan associates like lily growing out of pool of unclean water.
 Then she married Gentle man, no doubt bringing great anxiety to the
  own dear son, who must either follow the pagan father or cling to the religion of his mother and grandmother. Environ- ment and heredity were both at work to join him to the customs and manners of the prevailing organism of his commu- nifty, but mightier than all opposing in- fluences was the life of his godly mother and grandmother, who communicated their unfeigned faith in Jehovah to the soul of the growing boy
 'So it came to pass that in the very heart of this heather multitude, through the mediation of a religious mother, God was preparing a man to become the trl- umphant ambassador of Christianity to all Asia Minor. Timothy became snin- ing light to thousands, but we must not forget that his brilliant torch was first lighted at the humble altar fire where Lois and Eunice worshiped Jehovah.
 "An old proverb says that God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers. On this Mothers Day it is well for us to remember that in the providence of God mothers always mediate the ideals py which the growing generation shall most surely live If the mothers be careless of the moral and spiritual values, ana greedy and ambitious for material things and earthly pleasures. their childrent Will most surely give themselves to rieshiS

GOVERNOR BOOSTS
 WORK OF C|VTANS
"Civitan Park" Named In .Rec- ognltion of Work Done By
 Little Rock Club

According to Dr. Courtney w. Shrop- shire, president of the International as- sociation of Civitan clubs, Field Repre- sentative Brown recently found warm welcome in Little Rock and had no trou- ble in organizing a Civitan club, and was surprised to find that the most en- thuslastic booster in the whole state was none other than Governor McRae off cially and personally, the governor has been active in promoting civic campaigns inaugurated by the Civitan club of Little Rock, of which Re is an honorary mem- Der.
 The governors cooperation made pos sbIe the recent "clean-up' campaign which kept the citizens of Little Rock busy for a week in an effort to make their city a modern "spotless town" Re gently, from the pulpit of the First Meth odist-Episcopal church, Governor McRae spoke eloquently in advocating increased activity in civic matters and outlined a campaign for materially improving the community as whole.
 One of the largest and most centrally located parks in Little Rock has been re- named "Civitan Park in recognition of the good work already done by the Civ itan club. This park has been taken over by the Little Rock Civilians and ex- tensive improvements are already under way.
 The following letter was given Repre- sentative Brown when he had finished his work of organization in Arkansas and was on the eve of departure for Texas {: "Governor Pat M. Neff, Austin, Texas,
 My Dear Governor:
 'Tf MT. R. F. Brown, field representa- tive of the International Association of Civitan clubs appears in your city or state, trust you will find it logical and convenient to aid him.
 This you can best do by becoming a member of the Civtan club. which or ganization I can gladly commend to you.
 'Its objects are splendid and the per sonnel of membership which have had opportunity to observe is of the best.
 with great respect, I am, cordially,
 TT. c. McRAE, Governor"

REUNION
 BEGINS IN EARNEST
By Associated Press

Richmond. Va May S.-With the ar r,va1 of detachment of the governors foot guards from New Haven, Conn' tbis morning. the one hundred and thirtv-second anniversary reunion Of the Richmond Light Infantry Blues began in earnest, and day filled with activi- ties was started, to be followed by sim- ilarlv active programmes tomorrow and Friday, the final day of the reunion.
 Due to failure to make train connec- tions the detachment of guards from Hartford was delayed until Saturday night but they finally arrived and ap- peared ready to take their part in the festivities.
 Between 800 and 600 men are registered at the various booths today and when they close tomorrow night it is expected that fully 1000 will have signed their names.
 Various attachments of volunteers met the visiting military organization at the station this morning at 7:10 o'clock when they arrived and escorted them to To- cal hotel where breakfast was served
 Members of the local organization in 8 battalion marched to St. Pauls EDS ccpal church, where Rev. Bowie preached the memorial sermon in memory of the Blues who fell during the World war. Dr. Bowie's sermon was an eloquent tribute to the spirit of the Blues, es- pecially those who made the supreme sacrifice in upholding the ideals Tor which America fought on the battleflelds of France and Flanders.
 Members of the visiting foot guards and officers of various companies Of the national guard throughout the state who are guests of the battalion, were taken on an automobile trip during the afternoon to see the historic points Tn and around Richmond, ending up at the Country club of Virginia, where they were entertained for short time

M'DUFFIE SEEKS ID INTEREST STATE IN
 PROBLEM OF PORT
Discusses the AdvisabiIity of State or Municipal Owner ship of Terminals at the
 Port of Mobile


 Representative John McDuffie of the First distritc of Alabama, in a commun- ication to the chambers of commerce of the various Alabama cities, points out the advisability of state or municipal ownership of terminals at the port Of Mobile.
 His communication follows:
 "At the outset of terminal development at the ports of this country, the railroads construed and operated terminal facil- ties. I think this had to be, because no outside capital was offering for such development, and the conception of pub lie (state and municipaD ownership had not grown to be an advisable solution of the problem The ports, therefore, owe a debt of gratitude to the railroads for the work done in this respect
 At this time however the competition between ports has become such and the active part in the management not only active part in the management no only of waterways, but of water-borne traf- fic, has led me to the conclusion that the interests of the ports of the country lie, as a practical matter, in meeting, so far as Is sound, the views of the war depart ment and other government boards which have the management or the waterways. think the governments views are sound and, therefore, it is not a strain for us to meet the views as expressed by the Secretary of War, General Beach, the chief of engineers, and Colonel Keller of the rivers and harbors board
 ON BUSINESS BASIS
 "It occurs to me that the present thing, go far as the port of Mobile Is concerned. Is to put the terminal facility business on such a basis as will attract private capital or as will repay so far as possible the investment of public money in ter minals If as is a fact, @ railroad can afford to charge a very low wharfage or dockage charge because 1t may make that up out of it's inland freight rates or line haul and the charge made by the railroad is not sufficient to enable pri- vate industry which has no railroad back of it. to live on the wharfage rate, then the industry will go out of business and no new private capital will get into the business. I. therefore, think that it is nroper thing to have the terminal tariffs so revised as to provide a reasonable compensatory rate for the service &C., tually rendered, plus a fair return on the invested capital. thereby permitting pri- vatelv owned terminals to be created and operated
 '.In many places, notably New York and New orleans. there are privately owned. railroad owned, and publicly owned facil- ities. [ am inclined to think that if the rates are adjusted as above indicated, the three ownerships would afford the best competitive service, but if we cannot get the three and it comes to the question as to whether it shall be railroad owned or public owned, I would much prefer and favor the public owned. This simply ueans that the railroad would have to be paid a reasonable value for their ter
