THERE Is no other one thing
that we glorify so much as we
do mother influence, but while
L we are singing songs about it,
writing poetry about 1t and dramatic
ing 1t into tear-jerking plays, 1t Is
well to remember that mothers in
fuence is not always the beautiful and
sacred and uplifting thing 1t Is pop
ularly depicted as being. It can curse
rs well as bless. It can be the most
damnable thing on earth.
It is a platitude to say that chill
dren are clay in their mothers hands
and that 80 times out of 100 they are
what she makes them. While they
are In the the cradle she sets the pat
tern of their lives. She teaches them
the creed they are to live by and die
by. She breeds in them strength or
weakness, and makes Of them the sort
of men and women who stand up and
fight life to q finish or who throw up
their hands and quit at the first re-
bun of fate. She turns out the heroes
and the towards, the successes and
the failures, and there is scarcely one
of us, from the highest to the lowest,
who cannot say that II am what my
mother made me. am the badge Of
her honor or her shame"
When you think OF 1t there Is moth
ing more terrible to contemplate than
the yastness and completeness Of
mother influence nor the fact that it
is exercised upon q helpless human be-
ing who can no more decide his des-
tiny than the clay can say into what
shape the potter shall fashion it. For
by the time o child Is old enough to
have some self-determination it Is too
late. Mother has already marked
him.
4 Il 4 \
A ND it is still more terrible to see
- how often this power Is given
over into the hands Of fools who play
with 1t as ignorantly and as reck-
lessly as q babe would with q loaded
bomb, and who, when they wreck
their children's lives, never even TN.
derstand how it happened or that they
are responsible for the catastrophe.
Herein lies one of the most ironic
tragedies Of poor blundering human
ity, for 1t Is the mothers who are
most blindly and fanatically devoted

STACK SITTER
DIES IN PLUNGE

CARTERSVILLE, Ca, Oct. 7
U.N.SO.-After defying all efforts
of rescue for nearly 10 hours, an
unidentified Negro, who fortified
himself atop a 102-foot smoke
stack with loose bricks, today had
plunged to instant death.
The Negro, discovered on top Of
the tall fort" early yesterday
morning, fell from the smoke
stack late last night. His body
was badly mangled.
Efforts to get the man down
by local police and firemen were
met with showers of bricks as
they attempted to climb up
ladder inside the smokeStack. No
one, however, was struck.
Appearance of the man on top
Of the Gainesville Gas Company'S
smokeStack was quite a sideshow,
drawing at least 10000 persons.
Only an Atlanta street car
ticket, and a few cents were found
in the mans clothing after his
death plunge.
No explanation could be given
to the mans appearance on top
Of the SmokeStack. However, it
was believed he was demented.

JITNEYS URGED
IN PLACE OF
SOME TAXIS
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

The recent decision of the
Public Utilities Commission au-
thorizing the extension Of one
man street car service was Wig
orously protested by members Of
the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association at the first meeting
of the season last night in the
Fourth Presbyterian Church.
It was charged the decision
was not that of the commission,
but was handed down by one Of
it's members, who appeared to be
guided largely by street car Off
Gals rather than the people OF
the District.
Jitney Buses Favored
The association favored q re-
hearing before the Commission
ers, as expressed by the Fedora
ton of Citizens, and urged by
Peoples Council William A. Rob-
ertS.
AS one means Of correcting the
transportation problem and elimi-
mating a complaint regarding the
excessive number Of taxicabs, 1t
was recommended in q resolution
by Mrs. Marie F. Maddox that
jitney buses similar to those in
other cities be operated on regular
routes throughout the city.
Grade Crossings Opposed
On motion by Luther R. Maddox
the association favored a proposal
that the Federal Government pay
taxes commensurate with its prop
erty values in the District, in lieu
of a lump sum appropriation.
Another resolution requesting
the registration of professional en-
gineers was adopted.
It was voted to request the Com
miSsioners to procede with the
elimination Of the few grade cross
ings remaining in the city.
The association gave vote OF
thanks to it's president, Mrs. Mar
garet Hopkins Worrell, for being
largely responsible for bringing
the G. A. r. encampment here by
obtaining an appropriation of $751;
900 from Congress.
