SMITH WINS DECLARATION CONTEST
Mrs J. c. Bradley
 on Mothers Day
Gave Address to the Y DOrmitory Men Yesterday

Mrs John c. Bradley. president of the Waterbury Women's club gave a 20-minute talk to the Y dorimt0ry men yesterday at their Sunday breakfast. Mrs Bradley explained that even though the stationers. florists and candy makers commer- cialize Mothers day there is still something distinctly apart from the mercenary which touches the hearts of people and draws respect ana reverence.
 The mother of earlier times found her duty to be mainly in the home bounded by four walls. Her duty was to keep home and children clean and lend them the proper tn- fluence for good. The present day mother, Mrs Bradley said, finds her duty in the hame and the added re- sponsibility of keeping the commun- ity clean. She said that when mothers take the responsibility to remedy some community evil they should not be looked upon as fight ing feminists but only as mothers fighting for their right to a clean community.
 The case of a Waterbury girl whose name loomed large in a re- cent court trial here was drawn up- on by Mrs Bradley. She says that the mothers of the community are fearful as to whether there is a place left to which this unfortunate girl could go where publicity had not already preceded her, to make it impossible for her to get away from her misfortune.
 The committee responsible for the Mothers day program included Wn- liam F. Walton, chairmn, Edwin H. Kratch, Chas Swanton and Aubrey Greenlaw. Twenty-Five men were present each wearing the carnation in pink or white symbolic of Moth CTS day.
