MISS ANNA .JA KYIS.

Mother! The firFt word uttered by a child in infancy; often the la?t word Rpokpn by a nuan or woman at death. Its rneaninpr implies a person with such a diversity of nttribute.s. is suggestive of f-) nyich loo and tenderness tn every human belnij in the world, no matter of what ape or station that to relegate to it rr tain qualities or characteristics, without naming them all, is seemingly futile. Today the sons and daughters of the l.V.ited Statra are trying in a lavish or humble way. according to the inflated or deflated condition of their pocketbooks. to pay homapc and rrpect to their mothers. Out of all the year this day ha-s "been dedicated to the honor of thoso who. through their belief and hope have given to the world such men a.-? Lincoln, who have nurtured their children's ambitions by denying thernseHes. necessities as well as luxuries, in order that their children might have more privileges, which the latter sometimes ."?ltishly accept a.s a matter of cour.se. Mother lilfc I "nil of Sacrifice. Few friends would lay down their lives for their fellow creatures, yet how many mothers have piven their lives often through incessant hard work and self-denial, that their children might enjoy the advantages which they have been denied. Whether it is education or travel, good health or prosperity, or just Iho pleasure derived from a comfortable home, a mother's sacrifice is entailed in the giving of each of these, whether in a great or small degree. Perhaps the eldest daughter is talented musically, her youngest son would bo a lawyer or physician: the fulfillment of their desires Is the dream of every mother. She it is who gives up the pleasure of the society of her friends to watch at the bedside of her fevered child; she it is who first teaches him to pray, who points out the good from the evil in the world, and bids him cultivate good books, good company and good manners. Should he not turn out to le all that her heart could wis-h. no one can presume to belittle Id.5 name in her presence, for sh would go through

lire to purg it of any rfain whica m5ght b deleterious to his character. P.riglit Flower For Li inc. In appreciation of a mother's iove, the cv-cond Sunday in .Vay was set aside- some fivo or si." years ago t honor the mothers in the United States. The custom h i.s nt bem original in this country, however, some Kuropean countries having had a day devoted to the rame purpose, which was called 'Mothering Sunday.'' The day fell on thrt fourth Sunday in Lent, or Midfcnt; so called from the ancient practice of visiting on that day. formerly the Mother church, later one's parents, and presenting an offrrin?. Today many a littl" gray haired lady will walk proudly down the street on the arm of her son or daughter, and if not wearing a corsage of her favorite ilowors, at least a single posey to show that she has been remembered. Growing plants'.

'especially the flower bearing variety,

will also be popular gifts, as well a? jewelry, purses, articles of clothing, umbrellas, etc. liriKht llowerft will distinguish those whose mothers are living from the- ;op.i fortunate one wearing the white corsage or boutonneire. and many a mother's eyes will brighten at the homecoming of children living out of the city. Hut Don't IYirgot Dad. Hut while honoring your mothers, don't forget your dad. altogether, for until a day is appointed by tho president as Father's day, they will have to share in the honor of tho day with the mothers:. It is expected that the graves of mothers in the cemeteries will rival the Memorial day observance in the flowers of remembrance placed there, while most of the churches of the city will recognize the day in some manner, with special music, sermons and flowers, during their services. Ttaphael and Michael Angelo have gien us tluir Madonnas, women of sweet woma nliness and beauty; these are the prized possesions of art museums and wealthy collectors, but there are pictures of Madonnas in every home, the fac es of ur Mothers!

BY JOSEPHUS DANIEL5 Former SM-on-tary of the Nay l!i:t t H'Jt. The r.aval onsulting Loaril was r'atel in F'l... with Thomas A. lalison at its head. The announcement of its creation resulted in an avalanche of plans. chart. diagrams ar.d models which kept growing in volume and variety until more than I'm. mop wnu-e-tioim for inentirns. completed invention.- and proposals for the utilization of existing devices in taw as had h-en received, classified, card indexed, examined and passed upon. Fighty per cent of th-ni were deoted to putting the dermiM F-Hoats out of Lusines--. The suLMarine early gripp d the Ameri.an imagination, and stimulated the inventive spirit d' the n:o--t ingenious people In the world. I remember, one Monday moi nii g in I 1 7. tindirg Admiral William Stia-th.-r S:.,ith. who had charge .." this work with the consul; ing Ion.!, ga;:ing in M.iiiething like consternation at Ihn hug.- ,h 1,;, of mail containing about 2.ooi b tt.rs a-.d p.o ka-.s. We were literally besieged Lv g. n.ii-cs of every ariety. enthusiastic, p.. rsist e r t . and -.H-h of th. m eon-in-e! that the adoption of 1; plan r device wa u'.d tring the war to a itor:ou- .ad within a ft w weeks.

We dared net turn a:i of th.

auav the t'irst time

fdnrf no one could tell until some inquiry had been made whether the most unlikely looking person might not have a really want h-while proposal to offer. Put once the impossible c rank and the impractical theorist v. er,- discovered and labeled in the mind of the department, ste ps ware taken to prevent their wasting precious time of busy officials by renewed visitations. IDF.A WORTH .MILLIONS." As I was riJseusfdng department business with a bureau c hief one day, the telephon rang, and a clerk said "long distance" was calling. Tie did not catch the? name clearly, but thought it was Mr. Ford. I found in a moment that it was not the famous Detroit automobile maker, for the man at the other end of the line began talking a blue streak, starting out with the declaration: "I've invented a thing that will wipe out the submarine: I've got something that positively will end the war." He seemed quite exc ite. 1 about it. I asked him what it was. He fa id he could not tell me over the phone, or intrust the secret to mails or telegraph. "Send it to our inventions board." I suggest?!. "Not on your life!" lie replied. "They might steal it. and I'd never get the credit for it. It's worth millions, millions!" lie said he would never show it to but three people the president, Mr. Kdiseui and myself; and all ihree must give the pledge of secrecy. "There's not a moment to he bv,vt. and I want to bring it to Washington myself." he exclaimed: "but I must be careful. If th Jbrmaii.s knew I had this their . p: s would murder nie." "All right, bring it on." I remarked. "Send me $.".0('i by telegram this afternoon, and I'll start tomorrow." he demanded. Accustomed as I was to queer propositions, this did rather startle me. "No.

tio." I replied emphatically; "I can't do that" "Do you mean to say" he seemed to be surprised "that you won't send me a measly little $r,000 when the thing I have is worth millions, anr.'will end th-' war" "That's correct." I said, rather sharply. I fear, "we Will not send anybody a dollar of government money Until we know what it is for." "Well, that's the smallest piece of business I ever heard of," he snapped. "I thought you were some secretary and now I believe all the mean things the newspapers Laid about you." One of my office aids figured out that this irate citizen had spent about $20 in telephone tolls. never heard from him again, and the invention that would end the war was lost to the world. thi: "porcfpim: ijo.yiv The police who guarded the portals- of the state, war and navy building stopped at the entrance a tall, lean man who was lugging a box as big as two suitcases. They ordered him to open it. and found inside a contrivance that looked ftS if it might ge off at any moment. He wanted to see somebody in the navy department, and one of my aids went down tf investigate. The fellow did not look like a spy or a plotter, and the navy man asked him what his contraption was. "It's a 'porcupine boat. " he snid; "a boat that'll keep off them torpedoes the submarines are lirin'." It was a model ef a boat, it wooden sides thickly studded with long spikes. "What's the idea?" he was asked. "Well, you see. the torpedoes can't sink a ship unless they hit her." he explained, "and if you put these long spikes all along the side, they can't get to her. The spikes will stop 'em; the torpedoes are stuoK before they hit the boat and there vou are."

It was a grat idea: certainly no one else had thought of it. Put as the spikes w ould have to be about 50 feet long to hold off the torpedoes and each jdiip would have'to have three or four thousand of them, we could not very well dopt the invention. WRAP SHIP IX COTTON. A southern inventor brought forth a plan that would have thrilled the sunny south with joy if it could have been adopted. This was to sheathe all ships with an armour of thick e-otton batting. He evidently got hi inspiration from the battle of New Orleans, where doughy old Ar. drew Jackson erected a Larrioade of cotton bale which the P.ritish shells could not penetrate. Se a century later this .Tacksonian figured that a ship swathed in cotton would be immune fream snell or torpedoes. The F.ermans could fire away, and elo no more harm than if they were throwing rocks at a mattress. Any new use for ceitton in unlimited quantities naturally appealed to me. a I come from a cottonraising fcctb.n; but unfortunately the naval experts seemed to have their doubts about the effioa-y of cotton-batting armour, preferring to stick to steel. There won a lot of inventions, of course, ami even some of those that were net practicable embodied ideas that were worth considering. Though we never did succeed in building a non-dnkahlo ship, the thought given to the subject and the experiments made were not without their value. Increasing the buoyancy of vessels is one of the things that all naval constructor? are studying, and w? believe that -urs have made as much progress in thi:? direction as 'ne of any other country. PROTECTION AOAIXST TORPFDOFS. Our capital ships arc be ing built so that mir tornedo will not disable them, and it might take two or three to sink them. This method may. in time, be adapted

to transports and all large vessels ned in war serice.

Mines played a big part in naal warfare.
