Nom And Dad HoventA Always
Ruled The Roost-We Learn

Although our modern sons and
daughters have obviously agreed to
Honor thy father and thy
mother" it hasn't always been this
way. A recent study of world his
tory revealed that Nom and Dad
have known some pretty unhappy
moments.
Mothers Day on Sunday, May
ID, and Fathers Day on Sunday,
June II, are, of course, compare
lively recent developments. More
over, the shower of gifts and af-
fectionate greeting cards that par
ents will receive this year are a
far cry from the treatment given
their ancestors.
In "The Golden Bough," a de-
finitive study of racial customs, Sir
James George Frazer points out
that among many primitive tribes
children were afraid even to call
their parents by name-as it would
attract evil spirits. In-laws were
also subject to this taboo, and the
most solemn oath a native of New
Briton can take is: "Sir, if am
not telling the truth, hope l may
shake hands with my mother-in-
law"
From other sources, the ups
and-downs of Nom and Dad ap-
pear to be equally trying. Back
in the Stone Age, life with father
frequently ended in a life-and-
death struggle. For the strongest
son became head of the family-if
and when he could kill or drive
away his father. Mother remain
ed, but with the understanding
that "a woman's work is never
DONE"
AS time passed, however, these
irreverent customs mellowed, and
! parental respect and dignity were
established. Biblical scholars have
recorded that it was considered a
crime punishable by death for a
son to disagree with his father.
And early Romans called down the
curses of family gods on children
who failed to show the proper re-
spect for their parents.

Sundays in December were set
aside to honor family ties. On

children turn the tables, and re-
fuse to unite their parents unless
rewarded with sweets, new cloth
ing, or some other coveted gift.
Once the die was cast, it was
inevitable that Nom and Dad would
receive formal recognition. In
1887, Miss Mary Towles Sasseen,
a school teacher in Henderson,
Kentucky, began holding annual
exercises to honor mothers. The

adopted her plan in 1890, but the
tradition ended there.
Then in 1914, President Wood
row Wilson signed a Congressional
Resolution setting aside the second
Sunday in May as Mothers Day
This official gesture crowned the
efforts of Miss Anna M. Jarvis,
whose campaign for nationwide
observance of Mothers Day had
begun in May, 1907-after arrang-
ing memorial services for her own
mother at Andrews Methodist
Church in Grafton, West Virginia,

Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of Spokane,
Washington, is the founder of
Fathers Day. At her proposal,
the Spokane Ministers Association
sponsored the first Fathers Day
celebration in 1910. Americans
everywhere soon adopted this be-
loved custom, observing it annual.
ly on the third Sunday in June.
This year, with their Big Day
fast approaching, both Nom and
Dad have another surprise in store
for them. Many of the 1851
greeting cards are titled "To
Father On Mothers Day" and "To
Mother On Fathers Day"
It's just another way of saying
that both can be King and Queen
on, any day.

Poet Tries His Hand
At Writing A "Chiller"
With Marked Success

Playgoers who like "chillers" will
have almost all of May in which to
visit the Arena Stage of the
"Theatre in the Round" at the old
Hippodrome, New York Avenue at
9th Street, in Washington, and see
mystery story which was written
by poet.
Conrad Aiken, noted author and
poet now at the Library of Con-
gress, is the author of "Mr. Arcu-
laris," which had its first Amer
lean production May 8 in a run
which started Tuesday and will
continue through the 9th.
"Mr. Arcularis" is a mystery
chiller, which opens in an oper-
ating room where a Mr.. Arcularis
is having a delicate heart oper-
alton. The scene abruptly shifts to
steamer, where he is an unlisted
passenger interested in a myster-
ious coffin. The denouement is a
surprise thrill, which we will not
spoil for you.

in England by London's Company

in roles by the principals, who will
include Lester Rawlins, Laura
Worth, Jacqueline Dudley, Harry

SIAMESE CAT

From Mrs. J. N. S., HyattSUille)
v. E., Washington: l have a
Siamese cat. We bought him last
summer and would not take any
thing for him. He is most affec-
tionate but sometimes quite wild.
He has been a bit destructive as
this breed loves to climb on high
places. He is what every one of
my friends call "a character" for
this breed is SO different from
ordinary cats. Siamese cats were
bred in Siam and were trained as
watch dogs for the palace. (You
find this true as when our door
chimes rings our cat growls and
runs to the door, 1t was not un-
til the early 1800's that the breed
was allowed to be taken out OF the
country. They were then taken to
England and thence to the United
States. There are two breeds
ISealpoints and Bluepoints. The
former are the most propular
breed, the latter being bit rare.
Our cat is Sealpoint which means
its points, ears. tail, paws and
mask are deep seal brown. The
points of the bluepoint are blue
black. Both breeds have Chinese
blue eyes. When we purchased our
kitten we had never heard of a
disease which is common to cats
so consequently our cat picked it
Iup and was quite i'll. Iwould advise
taking your cat to good vet and
getting shots for him. They cure
well and are not expensive. This
breed is most affectionate. Our
cat follows me all over the place.
When I talk to my neghbors he
comes running and meowing for
attention. They like a window to
look out of during the winter
months. They come from a warm
country and require lots of heat

To straggle across the street
