Devotion to Mothers inspired
Observation Of Special Day

Homage to motherhood goes back
practically to the beginning of man.
Even the ancient Romans had their
form of Mothers Day - festival
held in honor of the MOTHERHOOD
dess, ,Hilaria. Temples were built in
Hilarias honor, and on her festivaf
the Romans brought offerings to the
temples.
With the coming of Christianity,
men no longer thought OF mother
goddess. but of the Mother Church
and the Madonna. In her they ideal
lied all women, and offered her their
prayers and devotion.
On Midlent Sunday, the fourth
Sunday in Lent, it became the GUS
tom to take a gift to the altar OF
the church in which one had been
baptized, thus paying homage to
the Mother Church. But, as always,
men could not think of a heavenly
mother without thinking OF an earth
ly mother as well. and some time
before the 18th century, Midlent
Sunday in England became known
as ''Mothering" Sunday.
On this day apprenticed young
boys and the girls were permitted
by their masters to return to their
homes and spend the day with their
mothers, taking remembrance or
trinket with them II the distance
home was too great for days Wis.,
it. the children were expected to
send letters Of greeting.
The same veneration for mother
hood that inspired ''Mothering'
Sunday inspired our American
Mothers Day. The suggestion for
our observance is credited to Miss
Anna Jarvis, who realized the uni
versal beauty in the idea. She

of the school windows, wishing they
were Seniors, too.
Once the Seniors had arrived at
Blue Haven, their supposedly un-

Many persons accidentally fell in
the river, including Miss Palmer.
Aside from eating, which was the
most important part, baseball was
enjoyed by the more hardy students.

Handicapped
Children Get
Summer Camp

Camping with all Of it's fun and
adventure is going to become real
ity rather than dream for many
handicapped children in Arizona
this year, according to plans an
nounced by Rev. Charles Franklin
Parker, President OF the Arizona
Society for Crippled Children.
Through the cooperation of the
Phoenix YMCA and Maricopa Coun-
ty Council of Camp Fire Girls
camps located at Groom Greek near
Prescott have been made available
to 40 handicapped boys and girls.
According to William F. Hauser,
Executive Secretary of the State
Society, who will be in charge of
the handicapped children's activi-
ties in both camps, 16 of these 30
places have already been taken by
parents who received letters through
the mail and have made applica-
tions for their children.
This years camping periods for
girls from the ages of 7 to Is are
from June 18 to June 81, and June
q to July 6. For the boys, aged 6
to 18, from June II to June 26, and
June 26 to July S.

Arizona Experiencing One OF Worst
Droughts In States
History Says Geological Report

/ the same time as is now taking
place, the report states.
The high temperatures have
caused evaporation of snow before
melting, which caused only Is per
cent of the expected runoff from
melting snow.
The year 1894 was one of the
worst recorded in the state from
the point-of-view of drought. Indi-
cations are this year is worse.
The report states: THE Gila river
near Solomonsville (head of SAT-
ford Valley had runoff of $50
acre-feet, % per cent of normal,
the lowest April since 1925. San
Carlos reservoir on the Gila river
at Coolidge dam contained only
14670 acres-feet at the end of the
month compared with 122,700 a year
ago and an average for April since
1880 of 262. 300 acre-feet.
1.-THE Salt river above Roosevelt
dam had runoff of 34,610 acre
feet, 81 per cent of normal, the low
est April since 1884, and the second
lowest since 1921 Cumulative run
off since October 1945 has been only
81 per cent of normal.
THE Verde river above Horse
shoe reservoir had runoff of 49,
420 acre-feet, 81 per cent of normal,
caused mainly by the rains Of April
3-8, localized in the upper Verde
river BASIN Storage in the Salt and
Verde river systems of reservoirs on
April 80 was 634, 500 acre-feet as
compared with 1,141 900 year ago
and an average for April since 1911
of 900, 300 acre-feet.
Sabine creek had a runoff OF 80
acre-feet, only 10 per cent of nor

how to live for them. Is there any

think there is way out of this
mess, Ferd, and you indicate your
self what it might be. Many a man
could take it, when faced with your
problem, but not quite so simply as
you can.
Go to the Farm.
Tell Ethel that you have decid-
ed to live on the farm with the chill
dren. Any man has the right to
decide that he will be farmer in
stead of city clerk. Move out there,
perhaps notifying certain shops in
your city that you are closing your
account with them. If you must
borrow to get the farm paying; bor-
row. Chickens and milk, potatoes
and apples are bringing higher
prices than they ever have in the
history of the world.
Ethel will have to come with you,
or leave you. Either way you will
have the right to make terms. You
cannot possibly take care of babies
of and in a city apartment, but
you'll have no trouble with them on
a farm. The nearest farmers wife
will run their clothes through her
washing machine, and they'll be with
you all day long, in child's para
disc.

most essential to success; that ic
the worldly success of fame and
wealth, independence and security.
After some reflection I said "imagi-
nation" Whether it's running a
boarding house or writing a novel,
you must have imagination if you
are to escape from the rut, see far
enough ahead to discern a shining
goal. Put your imagination to work,
Ferd, upon just what this turning of
the tables will mean to a selfish,
extravagant, stupid wife. Get back
to the soil, and give your wife every
chance to accompany you. If she
won't, she forfeits income, position,
home, and she cannot claim ali
mony. If she comes, there's just a
chance that she may wake up into
real womanhood.

r TOW is it that a woman
- like Ethel Davis can get
i i away with what she does?
How is it that while thousands
of women are steadily meeting
their obligations as wives and
mothers, Ethel can break every
law in the book, and not be
thrown out of society as the out
law she is?
All wives have faults; so have
all men. We all fail each other part
of the time. A wife can be irritable
when she is tired, but that may
make her only the more loving and
sorry when the time comes to make
up. A wife may be extravagant in
one glaring instance, but she is sor-
ry for it, and a little scared, when
the milliner's bill comes in, and
she makes Toms favorite dessert
for dinner and resolves to wear that
hat for two solid seasons. A wife
may know that she is too fussy, or
too suspicious, or too slipshod about
getting the marketing and the dust
ing done promptly, but if she is a
real wife she does try to improve,
she does feel sorry for poor old
Tom, she does grow spiritually
year by year.
Not Ethel Davis. Ethel was
completely satisfied when she mar
ried Ferd Davis seven years ago,
and she is as SNUG as ever now.
She has two children, boy and
girl, and she talks as if no woman
alive had gone through the ordeal
of having children before. Ferd car
ries up a tray to Ethel every morn
ing, and a high school girl comes in
for so cents morning and gives
the children their breakfast and
starts them off to nursery school.
Ethel gets up at 10 and goes down.
town to lunch with friends. Then it's
a beauty parlor or a movie, and late
in the afternoon she and her crowd
are giggling at a bar in some fash
ionable lounge. Perhaps then she
telephones home to the woman who
comes in at a dollar an hour every
afternoon that she won't be home to
dinner. If she does come home it
is to cuddle her babies, give them
candy and toys and Shrek like
siren if Ferd comes in hungry,
tired and critical. The children
scream too, and cling to their moth
er. Ferd is an outsider in his own
home.
Hates to Go on Living
Ferd gives me this account of his
marriage in a seven-page typewrit-
ten outburst. He says he's been
considering everything; desertion,
kidnapping his own children, di-
vorce, suicide. He wants to know
if there isn't tribunal where
marriage like his could be rated;
isn't there any standard, any graph
by which his friends could know
that his rating of marital happiness
is about three per cent?
Nursery school includes lunch
and naps," writes Ferd, land costs
me $40 a month. The school girl
gets $12 and old Minnie about $50.
My salary is $75 a week, and COM
missions. Ethel cashes small checks
at the grocery and drugstore about
three times week.

South's Struggle
The south has been poor since the
Wan Between the States. One of the
biggest eason is because VIC have
always grown the raw products,
cotton, timber and the like leaving
the processing and manufacturing to
the industrial east. We grow our
cotton and sell it for a few cents a
pound, then pay three dollars for a
shirt with about a nickel's worth of
cotton in it. The same thing happens
in ladies clothing, shoes, and pract-
ically everything we wear. We grow
it on the farm, and then pay some
one else high wages to make it up
