In fact, the proposition is now
sufficiently steamed up that Mr..
Mooney has asked The Washing
ton Times to appoint additional
committeeman to assist in the
preparations for the Muddy Ruel
Day at the ball park, Sunday,
April 10, when Ruel makes his
first local appearance as a mem
Der of the Boston Red Sox.
Accordingly, an outstanding
sportsman and baseball enthu-
siast in the person Of Harry
Viner, prominent merchant and
civic worker, is the latest commit
teeman and with the others, will
throw his shoulder to the Ruel
idea which is developing rapidly
into a city-wide effort to properly
honor a deserving athlete and
gentleman.
Meanwhile letters Of esteem in
behalf of Ruel are pouring into
Mr.. MONEYS office, along with
donations to the fund, outstand-
ing among them today being a
communication from Edward B.
Eynon, jr., secretary and business
manager of the Washington ball
club. Mr.. Eynon writes:
81 beg to enclose S4 for the
Muddy Ruel Day, said amount
being 81 from Mrs. EynOn, one
from Everett EynOn, one from
Jane EynOn and 81 from my
self.
"The entire EynOn family
have always been great ad-
mirers of Muddy, both on and
off the field, and 1 trust the
effort your committee and The
Washington Times are putting
forward for Ruel Day will ex-
ceed your expectations"
In accepting membership on the
Ruel committee, Harry Viner wrote
Mr.. Mooney:
"The baseball fans Of Wash
ingtOn cannot too highly praise
the work of Muddy Ruel, not
only as a sportsman, but as a
gentleman and a scholar. May
it be sincerely hoped that the
efforts of Muddy Ruel will be as
much appreciated by the fans
in Boston as they have been
with the Washington fans"

block by 79 pins.
Confident that they can take
the measure of the tough New
England outfit, the All-Stars are
making preparations for a trip
North on April II. The ex-
penses for this trip will be in the
neighborhood of $500.
AS the team is organized to
save the fair name Of Washing
ton as q mistress of the duckpin
world and unaffiliated with any
commercial enterprise, the bowl
ers must depend on their sup
porters for the money. It is up
to all the bowlers in the city to
rally Loyalty behind the team.
For this purpose three-ball
tournament will be conducted
all day tomorrow at Recreation
Center bowling alleys, and all
bOwIers, male and female, are
urged to participate. The price

The last Of the church years festivals based up

Easter. It falls on May IA this year.
At Florence, Italy, curious custom peculiar to
that city is observed Ascension Day. as the result
of legend that when Christ ascended to heaven
cricket was carried with him. Before the day arrives
each person who takes part in the observance pro
vides himself with cricket which can be bought
on the street. confined in little cage made of cane
On Ascension Day otter Mass the people gather
with their crickets in parks along the River Arno,

New French Citizens

The world wide unemployment situation tends to
focus attention upon immigration and emigration,
particularly as respects labor and the naturalization
laws Of various countries Among European countries
France continues to attract immigrants in increasing
numbers, according to recent official report
During the first II months of 1880 France made
net gain of A, 154 new citizens through natural
zation as against 1880 for the entire year of 1929
In the period only 1,476 persons of French
tionality sought to change their allegiance
The nelghboring countries of Italy, Switzerland
Luxembourg, Belgium and Spain supplied France
with "A per cent of her newly natazed citizens last
year. This circumstance is considered desirable by
the French authorities. since newcomers from coll
tries close at hand are more easily assnlated in
to the French nation
Naturalization in France is surrounded by many
precautions to assure the barring of undesirable,
applicants state of health, moral character and so
on made by the authorities and when deemed ne

In addition to gains in population through ma
turalization, it announced last week that the
birth rate in France exceeds the death rate for
the first time in several years an announcement
which hailed with great satisfaction by the peo-
pie of that country.

Mothers Day

Next Sunday, May 10th, will be Mothers Day
There will be millions of flowers presented to moth
ers all over the United States. Sons and daughters
everywhere will pay beautiful, sentimental tribute
to their mothers.
This is as it should be- Our only criticism Of the
observance of Mothers Day as special occasion for
doing something for mothers, IS that It occurs only
once q year Sometimes we wonder whether setting
apart a single day in the year for this homage to
mothers doesn't tend to make children feel that they
less neglect their mothers the rest OF the
year Not that the mothers care. There is nothing
child can do to it's mother which ALLEVIATE the mo-
theirs love Some Of the finest, most touching examp
les of mother love We have known or heard OF
have been expended upon utterly worthless, thank
less useless children Mother love is the only kind of
love which does not demand reciprocal affection from
the object Of its devotion.
There is another side to the picture of Mothers
Day. While we are paying tribute to mothers we, as
nation, are sacrificing the lives of thousands of
theirs. More than $4,000 women in the United States
die in childbirth each year More than 10000 of these
wasted lives could be saved by proper maternity
The proof Of that is the fact that there is such toll
of deaths in any other civilized country in the world
because everywhere else in the world there is ade
quate provided for all eXpectant mothers.
tion-wide' movement for the extension of the work
of the Maternity Center Association, which has been
successful in limited field in greatly reducing
tality In childbirth has been endorsed by the Z. S..
Public Health Service and the Federal Children's
Bureau. There is no community too small too poor
to establish maternity center Surely if mothers are
especially worthy of remembrance on Mothers Day,
their lives are worth saving?
