Mother’s Day to be Celebrated on May 13 Washington, May J —As part of the celebration of Mother’s Day on- Sunday, May 13, plans will be launched for the erection at Washington of a "memorial monument to onr mothers,” according to a bulletin issued today by the Federal Council of Churches. Owing to the wide observance of the day, white carnations have become too costly and scarce for use as a symbol. Therefore, the Mother'!) Day International Association, of Philadelphia, has adopted as the official emblem a button which has a carnation upon it. Hundreds of thousands of these buttons have been sent throughout the world, aS the day is now observed not only in America but also on every continent. Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, founder of Mother’s Day, has issued an appeal that the money heretofore spent for flowers be given to the Association for the erection of the ■‘memorial monument to our mothers.” In a statement she urges every man and woman, boy and girl, who is away from home to return to visit his or her mother and other members of the family or at least to send a letter of grattude and happy remembrances.
In speaking of the day she said: "Mother's Day is not a celebration of maudlin sentiment, but a constructive movement seeking greater protection of mothers, children and the home. It gives emphasis to the fact that the home is the fountain head of the nation and good homes our greatest national blessing. “Nothing but good can come from any celebration that gets men ami j women as sons and daughters closer to their homes and the most cherished memories and ties of life. Mother's Day has given back to thou, ends of homes sons and daughters for whom the anxious hearts of mothers and fathers have yearned. It has reunited mothers, fathers and children and fostered more useful and truer lives. “It has been the forerunner of mother’s pensions, the maternity act and tlie many other things which in community and nation are blessing lives that need care and protection. “It is strange that a country no generous a«d mother-loving as ours should have permitted centuries to pass w'lthout a special tribute in tlio way of a monument to our mothers. Yet this is true, although we have erected great memorials to Washington, Lincoln and other illustrious men that have acclaimed their mothers as the inspiration of their notable service to their country.
f "If is fherefbre moqt , fittipg I and timely-for sons ■ and daughters and our country as a nation to express its gratitude ami remembrance -'through| a memorial of beauty and impressiveness such as has been erected for our illustrious men. Yearly we havo spent large sums of money for flow- ; ers anil in other ways for Mother’s Day, noue of which has left any permanent memorial.
"In all of the years of work for the I recognition of Mother's Day, this is the first appeal made to the public ; for money. It la an appeal for honoring your mother as 'the best mothjer who ever lived,’ and every son and daughter who thinks of his or her mother as such should feel honored that (his opportunity is given.” o —— • Ex-Governor’s Wife and Brother Hurt in Accident Winchester, May 3—Edward Goodrich, brother to former Governor James P.
