Usual Observance Set For Next Sun day in All Phrts of United States. Washington. D. C.. May 2—Amer ican soldiers and sailors the world over are being urged by the Secre taries of War and of the Navy to write letters to their mothers on Mothers' Day, next Sunday. The request that the letters be written “as an expression of the love .tn-1 reverence they owe to the mothers of our country” has beeu transmit ted to everj’ military and naval sta tion and includes every officer and eulistted man. The modern observance of Moth ers' Day originated through the ef forts of Miss Anna Jarvis of Phila delphia. It was suggested that on the second Sunday of May all per sons should show their love and respect for their mothers by some tribute; if living by a gift or letter; if dead, by some kind deed to another person- The white carnation was selected as an emblem of the day because “Its whiteness stands for purity, it form for beauty, its fragrance for love, and its wide field of growth for charity.” On May 10, 1913, * a resolution passed the United States Senate and House of Representatives commend ing Mothers’ Day for observance by Congress, the Presient of the United States, and heads of departments. In the same year Nebraska made Mothers’ Day a State flag day in honor of the patriotism of Nebraska's true homes and mothers. It is wide ly observed throughout the United States, but is not a legal holiday. Although the formal, designation i of Mothers’ Day was but recently made in thi« country, the custom ol displaying filial veneration dates back to ancient times. It antedates the Christian era, was displayed m ritee and ceremonies in pagan days aud strikes deep into primitive emo tions. Authorities state that perhaps the parliest recordeu formal mother wor ship lies in the tales of the cere monies by which Rhea, the “Great mother of the gods,” waa worshiped in A»ia Minor. The worship of Rhen was introduced into Rome through Greece about 250 years before Christ. Ceremonies were held pn the Ides of March, when peop’e made offerings in the temple, and the oc casion was known as the Festival of Hilaria. With the advent of the Christian era the festival still retained its old formsj but made a further advance and became infused with a new spiria. There developed an observ ance in honor of the Mother Church; In this celebration it became the , custom on mid-Lent Sunday for the 1 faithful to visit the churches in which they were baptized, bearing •jifts for the altar. From this festival of worship in honor of the Mother Church there grew the observance of Mothering Sunday, though the successive steps in this development are not clear. It is certain, however, that long ago. when young men and maidens were bound out as ap-, prentices and as servants, mid- Lent Sunday was set aside for them i to Visit their mothers, talking for them some little present, such as a cake or trinket. r It is a far cry from this quaint ob servance in England of mid-Lent to I pur American Mothers’ Day. There no unbroken line,of descent to the present observance from the holi day when English apprentices went a-mothering, though the modern fes tival is perhaps the most conscious and deliberate effort a nation ever made to honor motherhood.- The observance of: the second Sun day in May as Mothers’ Day has now become firmly established in the United States and has been intro duced into several other countries. The object of the setting aside of ‘he day is to honor the memories of mothers who have gone, to brighten the lives of those who remain and to foster among men, women and chil dren the love of their homes and their parents. MOUNTAIN WILL BE PENETRATED BY ROAD runnel 850 Feet Long Wilt Be Constructed Through Beaucatciier at Asheville. Asheville, May 2.—An 850-foot tunnel which will carry state high way number 10 through Beaucatch er mountain, will be constructed at once, it was announced here tonight following unanimous vote of the city and county commissioners on the project. The tunnel has been planned for some time, because of the need for a more accessible approach from' the Chuns Cove and Haw Creek sec tions of Buncombe county. It is es timated thfit half a million dollars would be required to pierce the rock of the mountain with the new street. A special act was passed by the last session of the legislature tuat will enable the city and county to join ahnde in this project. As an engineering feat the pro ject has attracted a great deal of interest, the idea of tunneling through a mountain for 850 feet to bring a new street into Asheville being one that catches and holds the popular interest. The Haw Creek section has long been one of the richest sections in the county and the barrier afforded by Beaucatcher mountain will now’ be removed to a great extent. Residential College for Teachers of Adults. Establishment of the first residential college for adult education in Wales is made possible by the gift, by a South Wales industrial leader, of a large building located at Harlech. The building will furnish dormitory accom modations for 30 students. It has a good library, lecture rooms, and din ing hall, and an excellent music hall seating 300 persons, with a fine or gan. The governing Txxly will he com posed of representatives of different organizations in Wales interested in adult education, with Lord Haldane as the first president. Activities of the college will probably be limited at first to summer schools, short-term courses, and institutes for tutors, or extension teachers, w’ith provision lat er for longer courses for adults,' for which there is a growing demand. I IT PAYS TO USE PENNY ADS. THE CONCORD TIMES- TO BUILD ITS TWELFTH BIG GENERATING PLANT Will Be Located at Oxford Shoals on Catawba River. • ’ i ar ‘^P r il *lO.—A further step in the development of a vast power system by the Duke interests was revealed here today in the announce ment from tlie offices of the Southern Power company of plans for the im mediate construction of its 52th plant | upon the Catawba river. The new plant will be at Oxford Shoals, 10! miles from Claremont, in Catawba county, and will have a generating I capacity of 56.000 horsepower. A Bpur track track has already been built from Claremont to the site of the new plant and the working sche dule for the new project calls for the completion of the plant by June 1, 1928. , , The new plant of the Southern Power company at Oxofrd Shoals will! have the largest generating units in service on the entire Duke system, the plan* calling for two units of 28,000 i horsepower each. Contracts for the generators have (been awarded to the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac turing company-, The water wheels will be built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, of Newport News, Va. The new Ovford Shoals plant will have an effective head of 90 feet and a huge pond will be created. Water ! will be hacked up practically to the j recently eompleded Rhodhiss plant. ! The clearing of the large area to be j flooded is to be started at once and will be completed probably during the present summer. The Southern Power company has j contracted for the entire output of j the new 40,000 horsepower hydro- j electric plant now being built by the j construction department of the Duke j company for the Tnllassee Power! company at High Rock, on the Yadkin ! river. This plant will be operated as I a part of the Duke systequ The High ! Rock plant is also scheduled to go into service during 1928 and these two new' plants assure an addition of 96,- 000 horsepower to the generating capa city of the Southern Power system during the coming year. The new plant at Oxford Shoals will! bring the generating capacity of hydro electric plants on the Catawba river up to 651,000 horsepower.. The total generating capacity of all hydro electric plants on the .Southern Power system will be brought, up to 721,000 horsepower during 1928. This, .with the 240,000' horsepower in steam elec tric generating plants, will give the Duke system a total of 961,000 horse power. Boxing fans in Britain have been considerably confused over the name of Brown of late. At the present time there are no fewer than six Browne prominent in the ring—three of them answering to the name of Johnny Brown and one of these the holder of the bantamweight title. But the curious thing about it is that the real name of at least five of the six ie ntot Brown at all. IT PAYS TO USE PENNY ADS —— V ' !
