TOP POPULATION

And the census bureau survey
indicates that although the aver
age number Of occupants for each
housing unit in 1910 was 3Sl, II
had been reduced 10 approx
mately 3.55 last year and has
since gone lower.
Moreover. il is the opinion of
city planners that Dctroits popu-
lation in the next 25 years Will
not exceed the l,775.0O0 figure
reached in 1914.
Add these things UP and the
answer IS: There is no housing
shortage
And yet even the StatiStlcians
admit that there must be some
thing wrong with their addition.

MOTHERS DAY
In nights darkness, comfort found,
From the lip-worn, shielding sound:
Mother"

From the cross on Calvary, the word: Mother" From
ips of dying on battlefields; from mouths of children; from
tongues of savages; from pens of poets comes the word
Mother" 1t is a temple scantified-this first spoken word of
the child-man
1t is not easy to wear the name with its anxieties, its
aspirations, it's responsibilities, its love, it's labor, it is a diff
fcult calling. The swords of sorrow accompany it as they did
the Mother of the Seven Swords.
How fitting that a day should be given to cher, our
mother. Fitting, too, that it should fall in May, the month of
the Holy Mother. Like the Star of the Sea, our e~arth-bound
mother has a ltany familiar to every tongue. She is the home
of the hayward, the port of the lost, the light of the blind,
the companion of the lonely, the jewel of the beggar, the hope
of the condemned, the peace of the turbulent, the inspiration of
the weary. On this Mothers Day, we have opportunity to ex-
press openly in word and act our continued, undying, unspoken
devotion to the mother that has mothered US.

This year it is expected that more
Americans than ever before will
wish to wear the peoples as a salute
to the dead soldiers and their be-
reaved families, and as a financial
aid to the living but disabled SOL

He was a well-known public
