Mothers Day
Suggestions
BY DONNA GRACE

We know you are not going to
forget Mothers Day, but, as a
timely reminder, a few suggestions
may help you to decide on just
what you would like to do.
Mothers are always grateful for
any little attention from their
children, but we should try to find
the things they really enjoy and
let the gift or courtesy be some
thing worth while. 1t need not be
expensive if you cannot afford
much. However, one should be as
generous and lavish as possible
where mothers are concerned.
There are so many things one
can do. There should be some sub
stantial gift of money, if she
needs it. Then always some pretty
thing that many Self-sacrificing
women hesitate to buy for them
selves.
We know every mother loves
perfumes and cosmetics. She would
love to have her own nice creams
and powders, and one of the fine
perfumes, even if it is a small
sized bottle. Many of the manu-
facturers are adding a carnation
or gardenia to the Mothers Day
gifts, and they will be sure to
make a nice package if you re-
quest it.
We have never seen a woman
who did not adore her own dress
ing table with toilet articles for
her use alone. Then there are all
the lovely bath appointments with
the smart pine scents, as well as
the old Rhine md lavender
colognes they have always loved.
Take her or give her the money
to indulge herself in a permanent
or some of the beauty treatments
she likes.
There are, of course, the modern
young mothers who need no urg-
ing to visit the beauty salon, and
4OA G4lSAAA Oh SL4"oJ0 4AO"CAo
and accessories as well as the
theater and family dinner party.
1t is a nice thing if one can
possibly manage it to send the
Stay.athome mother on a trip
and let her 60 where she pleases.
There are always relatives to
visit, or she may enjoy a few days
by herself at some hotel.
There are the courses of reduc-
ing treatments also that many
women would appreciate, but the
real object of the day is to honor
and serve your mother, so we
know everyone will find some
special way of making it a mem
orable and happy time.
I will be glad to answer your
beauty problems, if you write to
me. Enclose a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope for your reply

president Grant Called
Uncle Sam at West PoinI

President Grant was named HI
ram Ulysses, but by a curious error
he became known in history as Ulys-
ses Simpson Grant, writes a cor
respondent in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. When he was about seven
teen years old he received his ap-
pointment to West Point Military
academy through Congressman
Thomas L. Hamer. Grant had been
Familiarity known by his middle
name, and Hamer, who was sufi-
GENTLY acquainted with him to know
that, gave the young candidates
name as Ulysses S. Grant, Simpson
being the maiden name of his moth
er. This circumstance was probably
the origin Of the error.
Grant applied to the West Point
authorities and later to the secre-
tary Of war to have the error cor
rected, but somehow it was never
done. He did not press the matter,
and his associates at West Point
promptly adopted the initials U. S.
and called him Uncle Sam, a nick
name he retained to some extent in
the army. He was graduated in 1913,
and his commission and diploma
both styled him Ulysses S. Grant, by
which name he was always after
ward known.

Mutiny at the More Was
Partly Caused by Cheese

The mutiny at the More in 1897
was partly caused by cheese, &C
cording to a London, England, au-
thority. .-....
Early in the Eighteenth century
there was a statement as to the
value of particular cheese for the
navy. It was to the effect that one
third Of pound Of Cheshire cheese
was equal to one pound Of Suffolk
cheese.
What would appear to be a harm
less reference to the Individual taste
Of the sailors Of that time, was one
OF the principal causes Of the mu-
tiny, for the sailors, particularly
those from Suffolk, much resented
that there should be any differen-
tiation against them.
Preserved food was introduced to
the navy in 1910, when the Admir-
atty installed a plant at the Dept
ford Victualling yard. Some years
later the issue of timed meat CO.
mcided with the murder Of a child
named Fanny Adams. whose body
was cut up.
From that day the navy called
timed meat Fanny Adams"
In the mutiny at the More the
ringleader, Richard Parker, styled
himself President Of the Floating
Republic" He was hanged from the
yardarm of his ship.

Protests Lease of Ships

r A NACION, influential newspaper
LOT Buenos Aires, Argentina,
caused some stir by vigorously pro-
testing the proposed leasing of OBJ
solete United States warships to
Brazil, declaring that such an act
would upset the balance of naval
power in South America.
Secretary of State Hull had writ
ten letter to the senate naval COM
mittee asking congressional authori-
ty for the leasing of average war
vessels to South American repub-
lies. When the Argentinian objec-
tions were noted, President Roose-
welt pointed out that the vessels in
question were obsolete, and were
only to be used for training. State
department policy, he said, would
prohibit their use against any gov
eminent friendly to the United
States.

can Federation of Labor, unless
southern farmers get their cotton
loans. Furthermore, the Southern

well in accord with maximum hours

The result of the whole affair is
a complete stalemate. Somebody
will have to give in; somebody prob
ably will, and there will be old
fashioned ''hoss trading" on
wholesale scale. For congress wants
to adjourn before the snow flies.
Southerners in the senate were
also worried when Senator Robert
F. Wagner of New York succeeded
in winning recognition to debate an
anti-lynching bill, the type of which
the South has been successful in
blocking since the Civil war. Some
were of the opinion that the bill, al
