SOUTH BEND, Ind, May 10. -
When the morning of Mothers day
dawns, Frank E. Herring of South
Bend probably gets a bigger kick
out of it all than any other man
in the country.
Herring is the man who originated
Mothers day. He holds a medal,
given him by the American War
Mothers, bearing the title. Father
of Mothers Day."
Herring, former national presi-
dent of the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles, former faculty member OF
the University of NoNe Dame and
now editor of the Eagles magazine
started the ball rolling twenty-six
years ago in a speech at EngliShs
opera house, in Indianapolis.
Assembled were members of the
Indianapolis Eagles aerie. Herring
was then young Notre Dame pro-
fessor-notable chiefly as the first
Protestant to win place on the
Notre Dame faculty.
Lauded Motherhood
In his speech, Herring traced all
the goodness of men to mother
love, all the advancement of civil
cation to the sacrifices of mothers,
all the hopes of the future to the
influence of mothers. He urged that
in every Eagles lodge one day be
set aside each year in which men
would remember their mothers and
make a point of paying especial
homage to them.
The idea caught on. Year after
year, in Eagles lodges throughout
the country, one day each year
was devoted to mothers. Before
the day was observed nationally,
the Eagles we're observing it an
nually. And it all goes back to
that speech of Hering's on Feb. 7,
1904.
Initiative Recognized
War Mothers went to work to
trace Mothers day to its origin
After long investigations, in which
other claims to the honor were
thoroughly gone into, the organiza-
ton decided that the title, Father

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May TO-
Thieves who appropriated an auto
mobile trailer on which was loaded
a boat, then stole an cupboard motor
and installed it on the craft, lost all
the loot.
Shortly after J. A. Sloan reported
theft of the trailer and boat, an
anonymous telephone call to a desk
sergeant advised that trailer had
been abandoned at the Big Four
bridge over the Wabash river.
With officers, Sloan went to the
bridge to claim the trailer. In the
water they discovered the boat, with
the motor installed, all ready to 60.
Police learned the motor had been
stolen from A. Dale Houf more
than a month ago.
There are no clews to the thieves.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May 10.
The H. w. Angsten Company here

decision that manufacturers of any

manufactured should be used in
