ZR-3 COMMANDER IS PLAYED AT HOME FOR
 SPEECH IN AMERICA

BERLIN, Dec 1.-The well-inten- toned but unfortunate after-dinner speech of Dr. Hugo Eckener, comman- der of the ZR-3 on her flight to Am erica shows he does not comprehend the political atmosphere as we'll as he did the ethereal atmosphere during the Zeppelin's voyage.
 Dr. Eckener's attempt to represent Americans as longing for German friendship reminds us of that rich but if the poor man says so, he may be suspected of begging.

CREW ABAND0NS
 DISABLED BOAT

The gas boat New England, we'll known in Seward where it has called many times the past summer, was abandoned by it's crew near Cape St. Elias NnNenber 29, and has not been seen since. It is presumed the ves- sel went ashore and broke up. The New England was 60 feet long and was one of the finest halibut boats entering this port.
 The New England lost her propel- Ter during heavy blow and the crew unable to handle her, took to their dories. She was loaded with salt herring and was on her way to Seattle at the time of the wreck.
 She is registered ill Seattle.

The speech to which Harden re- refers probably was the one Dr. Ecke- ner delivered at Bremen in which he said he had asked the audience in a big meeting at Chicago whether their enthusiasm was a mere personal tri- bute to the ZR-3's crew of demon stration of friendship toward Ger many, adding that he assumed it was the latter.
 "Thereupon they applauded for full ly five minutes" he said.

Mothers Day
NV CHARLES HARnTn MSNny

the demand became greater than the
supply, and under the memorable law
Of supply and demand prices scared,
and the commercialization Of Mothers
Day was charged.
Then came the suggestion that white
carnations be worn for those at rest,
and red for those still with us. Still
the demand was greater than the sup
ply, and it was found practically i'm
possible to grow such vast quantities
Of this particular flower for one days
market. -
The further suggestion came that any
flower, whether the choicest exotic Of
the dollhouse or the simple blossom of
the hillside, be worn on Mothers Day
and this practical idea is now preva-
lent.
movement has been started to
wear symbolic button on Mothers
Day, as a substitute for the flowers.
Out on such an idea. There is more
sentiment in the wearing of a little
flower plucked from the wayside than
Of wearing the finest product of the
goldsmith's art, even though made from
the finest gold and incrusted with pre-
cious stones of the ''purest ray serene,
Mothers Day was founded in senti-
ment. The sweetest, hottest sentiment
of all time. So long as mother love,
the love that binds the earth to God"
and love of mother exists, the day will
be controlled by sentiment. 1t shall
not be commercialized.
Mothers Day, celebrated without os-
tentation: just flower, just remem-
brance. Mother would not have It
otherwise.

Put them all together, they spell
Mother--A word that means the
world to me.
What a beautiful idea it is to set
apart a day each year to pay public
tribute to mother.
1t was an equally beautiful thought
to suggest the wearing of a flower on
Mothers Day.
While every day is mothers day in
private, we have gladly seized upon this
opportunity to especially honor her on
this occasion by the wearing Of a white
flower if she has passed on to her re-
ward; one of color if her kisses are
still fresh upon our lips. We are glad
of the opportunity to gather together
in Gods house to engage in a service
of praise and thanksgiving if she is
still amongst us; to pay tribute to her
memory II she has crossed the great
divide.
And what a glorious theme Mothers
Day gives the preacher to draw his
inspiration from. The inspiration of a
loving, gentle voice, a sweet and tender
caress, a sacred and hallowed memory.
There is no greater or grander theme
on which to speak, or preach, or pray.
The wearing of flower on Mothers
Day is not only beautiful sentiment,
but carries with it a practical idea.
Those who wear it. Of course, have the
thought of mother in their hearts. Those
who do not are bound to be reminded
of mother by the flowers in evidence,
and may cause that long-neglected let
ter to, be written, or that oft-defeIt ed
visit to be paid. ft1 49,.
Today thousands, nay tens of thou

remembrance from son or daughter.

sage of love and affection that will
mean more to her than the ransom of
a king.
The Inauguration Of Mothers Day
is accredite dto Miss Anna Jarvis Of
Philadelphia. who in 1908 suggested the
observance of the day with suitable
exercises in church and Sunday school,
and the wearing of a white carnation.
The idea spread and grew apace, and
in few years it became a universal
custom, and by legislative enactment
of Congress and Senate the 18th day
Of May was officially recognized as q
national event.
With the recurring years the wear
ing OF a white carnation on Mothers
Day became more and more popular,
