A BRIEF HISTORY OF MOTHERS DAY

The observance of Mothers Day is really very
old custom, one that seems to have been brought
over to this country from England. There cen
turtles ago, young men and women would go
am0thering" on Mid-Sunday in Lent. The youth
or maiden who had gone into service or had
married, would return home to call on Mother and
take her some small gift, perhaps piece of
'SimneP', or sweet cake.
In America the earliest crusaders for national
Mothers Day were the Eagles, who began the
campaign in 1904 and 1905 in the clubhouse of
Kansas City Aerie In their official magazine
The American War Mothers the organization of
women whose sons served in the World War, has
recently given marked credit to the F. O. E. for it's
sponsorship of the movement
In 1908, United States Senator E. J. Burkett, Of
Nebraska, offered Mothers Day resolution in
the United States Senate This was the first bill
ever introduced by member of Congress, for the
legal recognition of such day. Senator Burkett's
resolution was not passed.
In 1912, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, at it's
national convention in Cleveland, Ohio passed
resolution which provided that every lodge in the
jurisdiction should set aside one Sunday in the
year as Mothers Day.
Two years later, in 1914 Mothers Day was Of
fcially recognized by act Of Congress. Senator
Thomas j. Hefin of Alabama fathered the bill
which resulted in this homage paid to the mother
hood of America. The act provided only for the
display Of the American flag on all government
buildings on homes and at other suitable places.
All other methods of honoring Mother were to

effort to effect a concerted and state
wide poison war on the boil weevil,
this institution sent letters recently
to all the bankers in the state asking
that they assist in emphasizing the
need for a wholesale war on the pest.
According to recent survey poison.
ing is being done on the larger farms,
but not to any appreciate extent on
he small farms. According to reports
by the Department of Agriculture. the
boil weevil infestation Is heavier this
year than ever before. and If allowed
to go unchallenged the crop will be
destroyed. Immediate and extensive
action is urged.

Noah Henson Of this city. was ar.
rested yesterday by the police on
serious charge growing out Of q
statement told the authorities by
his wife of an alleged attack made
upon his 14.year-old daughter. Viola
Henson.
Mrs. Henson said the girl told
her the attack was made upon her
at their home on March 4.
The girl. Mrs. Henson said, was
reluctant to tell OF the matter. II
was with difficulty that she OBJ
tanned her statement. The girl
said her father threatened to kill
her IL she told anyone, and 1t was
through fear Of his alleged threat
that she remained silent.
When taken into custody Henson
vehemently denied the charge. sta
ting that he and his wife had
some difficulty and that the charge
was an attempt to frame" him.

confession, / investigated and
found that in hydrocyaglic poison
ing, the venous blood becomes
bright red. He turned to the
coroner:
you. sir, are an expert toxi-
cologist is not this the
case in hydrocyanic poisoning?"
TITS quite true, doctor. In ny.
drocyanic poisoning the .venous
blood becomes bright red because
oxidation is retarded. and the
blood, not giving up its oxygen,
retains its bright red arterial
color in the veins"
POISONED AND SHOT
Therefore, it's my contention"
concluded DIR. Cressy, "that the
deceased must have been poisoned
by hydrocyanic acid, before the
Sliot from the revolver was fired
for the vein in the head
severed by that shot had in 1t
blood affected by hydrocyanic
poisoning. AS death caused by
hydrocyanic acid is almost instan-
taneous, he must have been al
ready dead" DIR. Cressy stopped.
That's all you have to say,
doctor?"
Eyes"
II will say" said the coroner,
"that all that DIR. Cressy has said
Is medically correct. You have
heard all the testimony. This will
finish the investigation, gentlemen
of the jury. Will you step outside
and make your decision as to how
the deceased came by his death?"
1t was only few minutes later
that the six men of the coroner's
jury came to their decision. The
foreman arose:

natural position. The position of
the deceased when found
as described by Mr.. Kelly. who
was the first person to see him
was sitting, his elbow on
the base of the cab window, his
head resting in the palm of his
hand, looking out. When 1t was
believed that Miss Crittenden had
committed the murder, the theory
was that she had placed the dead
body in this position but
we know that Mr.. Echard, after
firing the shot, could not have
done SO and had he
fired the shot into living body,
II would seem almost impossible
that the contraction of the
muscles would not have hurled
the body out Of this natural and
placid position. A dead body, how
ever, If it were not knocked over
by the force Of the shot itself
entering it, might easily retain
this position.
"If wound is inflicted on a
very recently dead body, the edges
are slightly everted, or turned out,
and there is very little hemor-
rhage. Both of these conditions
were present on the body of Mr..
Glendenning.
But while there was very little
hemorrhage, / noted some peculi-
arity about what blood there was
from the wound and
upon this I most strongly based
my belief that the deceased was
dead of poisoning before he was
shot. The venous blood from a
vein severed by the bullet was
bright red in color. Now, as I
stated before, am not much Of

the deceased?"
II haven't a doubt In the
world that his death was caused
by poisoning"
But why didn't you state
this opinion earlier?"
II admit that at first / was

unsatisfied with the complete

much so, indeed, that in the

told you. Later, in the fish

fessed the poisoning. all the de-
tails / had observed suddenly

all pointed like so many sep
arate fingers to the one conclu-
sion, poison ="

''Now, why Is she ali fused
up like that just to come over
here to see me?' Peggy asked
herself.
The answer flashed itself into
her mind like a radio message.
Fay hadn't come there to see
her at all! She had come there
by his long silence.
AS Peggy's eyes passed over
