The question to be decided by the
court is whether or not the law,
under which Hickman was con.
victed, Is constitutional.

In the event the court finds tbs
law unconstitutional Hickman then

s Plans for these endowments

been exposed to public scrutiny,
Not only have courses in public

Child Tires Quickly
of Games or Sports

BY holding a stopwatch on ten busy
three-year-old boys and girls, psy-
chologist at McGill university, Mon
treal, has found that child of this
age is usually interested in one thing
for just about eight minutes. After
that, some new amusement or occupa-
ton must be produced. Even when
three year-olds at home or at nursery
schools are most absorbed, they can
not be expected to spend more than
half an hour at one kind OF occupa-
ton, according to X. NJ. Banham
Bridges, who describes the experiment
In report to the Pedagogical semi
nary. Boys in the experiment liked
best building with large blocks, and
other occupations in which they could
use the entire body freely. The girls
preferred sitting at a table matching
colors or fitting cylinders into differ
ent kinds of holes. The girls showed
an interest in q wider variety Of ac-
tivities than the boys and their inter-
est in task lasted a little longer, the
psychologist reports.

Debt to Mother
Hard to Repay

The debt which the world owes to
the mothers .of America will never
be fully known, much less repaid.
Their contribution to the history of
freedom is one of those intangible
quantities not easily defined nor ac-
curately appraised. Yet 1t lies back
of much Of the worthwhile accom-
plishment that makes the history of
our country. Trace the careers Of
men who bulk large in the building
of America and you find woven into
their character the influence of moth
ers who had faith in their sons, faith
in their country and faith in their
country's God.
We have come into a new age
which grants to women larger place
in the affairs of mankind. Some Of
the ideals associated with woman
hood have changed with changing
times. We no longer insist on that
measure Of self-effacement thought
proper for the women of another gem
Grafton. But no one can imagine a
state of affairs wherein self-sacriflc-
ing motherhood will not be exalted
or the contributions of motherhood
to the state not acknowledged with
loving remembrance.
Yet it is to mothers individually
rather than to mothers impersonally
that the devoted tributes of Mothers
day are paid. One thinks of his own
mother and, If possible, sends her
some token of his thought. He APP
preciates what other mothers have
done and are doing toward making
this better society, but his act of
devotion is to the particular mother
who brought him into the world, pro-
tected him when helpless. inspired
him to strive, blessed him as he start
ed out in the world and never ceases
watching out for his welfare, as long
as life remains.
''AIen are what their mothers made
Them" wrote Emerson. America Is
great because the mothers of Ameri-
can men and women have been great.
Today we recall what the mothers OF
Washington, of Lincoln, of Grant. OF
Lee, meant to their generation. But
we recall even more wildly what our
own mothers have meant and still
mean to ps. And with full hearts
we pay them tribute.

On Sunday, May 8, 1907, Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia told friend
that she had set the day aside TO
honor the memory of her mother.
who had died the year before. Dur
ing the months that followed Miss
R5vis told many persons that she
6uld like to see one day in each
year set aside to honor all mothers.
She interested so many Philadel-
phians that Sunday, May 10, 1905
was observed throughout, their city
as Mothers day.
Miss Jarvis made herself verb
table missionary in behalf of Moth
er's day and the movement spread
farther and farther each year. By
1913 it was being observed in Eng
land. In 1914, by authority of a.
joint resolution from congress, Wood
row Wilson as President Of the
United States issued proclamation
for the Mothers day of that year.
By that time Mothers day was be-
ing observed generally on the second
Sunday of each May.
So--because mothers are like Cor
nelia, and because Anna Jarvis
wanted all mothers to be honoredF as
she honored her mother-M0ther's
day is now a treasured day of mem

Early Phone Conuersation

The first long-distance telephone
conversation was from Boston to Cam
bridge in 1876, and the length of the
line was only two miles, according to
the New Jersey public utility informa-
ton committee. AT the end of 1926
there were nearly 100000 miles OF
telephone wire devoted exclusively to
long-distance messages. which total
abbut 100000 every day. BY means
of transcontinentaI trunk lines and
branches running north and south it
is possible to carry on a long-distance
telephone conversation between almost
any two points within the =. United
States as well as in Canada and Cuba.

EgOism and Manners

rious slant worth commenting
upon. 1t occurred in a subway
train, slightly before the daily
rush hour. The seats were all
taken, and a few passengers were
standing in the aisle.
At 59th st. a rather we'll
dressed woman entered the car.
Obviously a business woman-the
holder of some rather responsible
position.
Her bearing showed that she
was accustomed TO dispensing
thority and being obeyed. She
scanned the car with some annoy
ance when she noted that all the
seats were occupied, and il was
quite apparent that she took UP
her stand in the car with an eye
to the most susceptible male who
would (she perhaps hoped) sur
render his seat 10 her.
Now | had seen this young man
enter the car just a few stations
back, worn and weary. The list
less way he slumped into his seat
showed his fatigue. After a hard
days work, he had earned the seat
in the train that circumstance gave
him.
But the woman did not stop to
consider this. Her main thought
was to get a seat and continue
reading her novel in comfort. She
stood directly in front OF the young
man, staring meanwhile, then sigh
ing. then looking indignant, and
finally making her purpose 50
obvious that the young man, en-
barrassed, offered her his seat.
With tremendous dissatisfaction
she dipped into her novel.
