President ~Irigoyen's
Whereabouts Mystery

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 12.-P=
Mystery today surrounded the
whereabouts Of Hipolitto Irigoyen
deposed Argentine president who
yesterday, III and feeble. was placed
aboard a warship at La Plta and
presumably started toward a place
of exile.
1t was learned today that the
Uruguayan consul cabled hts gov
eminent at Montevideo yesterday
that the cruiser, General Belgra-
no, had sailed for Montevideo with
the former president aboard.
Preparations were made in tbs
Uruguayan capital to receive him
last night, president CampistiguJ
delegating his secretary and other
officials to meet him and make him
welcome.
But the General Beigrano did not
reach Montevideo. II was believed
here that after leaving La Plata
1t merely anchored outside the har-
Dor to await further orders, but
this was a matter OF speculation.
Another suggestion was that per-
haps the cruiser would head fol
Europe. since DR.. Irigoyen yester-
day told physicians he would like
to spend his exile in Europe. The
new president, General Jose Fran
cisco Uriburu. previously had ex-
pressed willingness for 1rigoyen tc
have his way.

Mothers Day
Observed by
All Nations

The observation of Mothers day as
a national festival is significant. That
a day so rich in sentiment, so tender
in its meaning, should be officially
adopted in a country which SCOTS at
sentiment and prides itself on it's
veneer of practically is hopeful
sign. Like the divining rod of old US
age 1t reveals underneath the crust of
commercialism perennial spring of
idealism.
Although the formal designation of
a specific day as Mothers day was
but recently made in this country, we
find in turning the pages of history
that the idea rests, like so many of
our customs, upon an ancient foun-
dation. 1t strikes deep roots into uni
versal truth and emotion. Mother
love antedates the Christian religion.
Mother-worship, with it's own rites
and ceremonies, reaches back into pa
gan times.
"Mother Of the Gods"
Our earliest record of formal moth
er-worship is in the stories of the
ceremonies by which Cybelle, or Rhea,
S'the great mother of GODS" was wor-
SHIPPED in Asia Minor. In her worship
It was the power and majesty of moth
erhood rather than it's tender maternal
spirit that the wild dances and wilder
music celebrated. Cybelle was repre-
scented as traversing the mountains in
N chariot dra NV
the oak and the pine were sacred to
her.
The worship Of this superiative
mother of gods" was introduced
through Greece into Rome about $50
years before Christ. There it was
known as the festival of Hilaria and
was held on the ides of March, when
the people made offerings in the tenn
pie. These were, of course, confiscat-
ed by the priests, but they served
their purpose of elevating motherhood
into something of its rightful dignity.
With the advent of Christianity. the
festival, still keeping some of its old
forms, was informed with a new spir

tion with pagan rites in honor of the
another of the gods" on the ides of
March, grew into a celebration In
, honor of the mother church." It be-
came the custom on mid-Lent Sunday.
the fourth Sunday in Lent, for the
faithful to visit the church in which
they were baptized and brought up
bearing gifts for the altar.
"Mothering Sunday" Old.
Just when and how this festival Of
worship for the mother church, gave
= rise to the observance of "Mothering
Sunday" is uncertain. 1t is sure. how
ever, that long time ago when young
men. and maidens were bound out as
apprentices and servants, mid-Lent
Sunday was set apart for them to Wis
1t their parents.
The following quaint account of this
festival is taken from Chambers
''Book of Days.:

been much relieved by certain simple

remains in the north of England as
an enumeration of the Sundays of
Lent, the first three terms probably
taken from words in obsolete serv-
ices for the respective days, and the
fourth being the name of Mid-Lent
Sunday from the cakes by which it
was distinguished"
SimneI Cake Comes in.
Another delicacy much esteemed on
"Mothering Sunday was a simnel
cake. Walsh, in ''Curiosities of Popu
lar Customs" says of this dainty:
I'm Shropshire, Yorkshire and Here
fordshire it has long been the custom
to make during Lent cake called
simnel, which is deemed especially
appropriate as a 'mothering' present.
AS far back as Herrick we find:

So that when she blesseth thee

1.-THE inside of a simnel cake was
like rich fruitcake, but it had an
outer crust made of flour and water.
Boiled first in water, it was subse-
Quently baked. The crust is colored
yellow with saffron and ornamented
with more or less art. Professional
etymologists refer the word simnel to
the Latin 'Simlia,' meaning the fin

Proof That Crops Are
Helped by Radio Waves

Radio makes crops grow at double
speed in experiments announced by
DR.. Fritz Hildebrandt, Berlin physi-
cist, says an Associated Press report.
In a field of poor fertility he treat
ed seeds Of beans, sunflowers, rad
ishes, melons and tomatoes with
short radio waves ranging from half
a millimeter to 80 centimeters. The
seeds were exposed to the waves for
is minutes.
Radishes, he says, ripened in two
weeks, compared with untreated seed
which failed to show Dubious root
formation even after four weeks.
The ripening period of tomatoes was
reduced from seven or eight months
to three.
Untreated kohlrabi seed showed no
bulb formation whatever. but treated
seed produced substantial kohlrabi.
Doctor Hildebrandt says similar re-
suits were obtained with other vege-
tables and plants.
