14 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1923 MOTHER'S DAY TO BE MAY 13 State of Illinois Shares In Honors Mother's Day, designated by status as the second Sunday in May. is set apart for observance along the lines suggested by the name. On that day the people of Illinois will pause to honor each in his or her own way, the personage who bears the blessed name of mother, whether she be still in the land of the living or has passed to that great beyond from whence no messenger ever has re- turned. All of which brings to mind the pleasing fact that Illinois, as a com- monwealth, is one of the greatest mothers in the world. Illinois is mothering more than 4,000 children, in a literal sense and to the fullest ex- tent that the term implies. There are in the various institutions maintained by the state the number of little children mentioned. The motherly ministrations are performed through the Division of Children, the Soldiers' Orphans' home at„ Normal and in other places where Fate has cast the hapless little ones into the lap of the state. Mother like, she is guiding their little feet into useful paths and equipping them for the bat- -tle^oi^ life in- a manner that called forth an eloquent commentary by Governor Small in his biennial mes- sage to the legislature early in Jan- uary. So when, on May 13, you pay tribute to Mother, Illinois will share . the honor 4,000 fold. CAGERS BEAT EVANSTON; LOSE TO GLENCOE BOYS * Playing two fast, snappy games of basketball the light and heavyweight teams of the Wilmette grade schools won a double headed contest from the Central school, Evanston, last week. The heavyweight game was the closest, the local team succeeding in nosing out its rivals by one -point. The final score stood 10 to 9. lhc Wilmette lights rolled up 12 tallies to their opponents 5. Although both teams were in the best of shape for the scraps, and both machines operated without a hitch, the work of Robert Blasdell stands out as the stellar performance. Blas- dell made most of the baskets for the weighty Wilmette team, some of them ooming at the most opportune time.' The first defeat of the season came, to the major Wilmette team when it tackled the hefty Glencoe outfit last Friday. The Wilmette locals were completely outweighed and outclass- ed, for the team that had not lost a game up to that time seemed to have had,an off day and to be a little stale. The defeat of the heavies was made less irksome to Wilmette fans by the manner in which the lightweights kept the Glencoe midgets down to a 10 to 9 score. Coach Todd and his team are now looking forward to participation in the North Shore grade school invita- tion meet which will be held at the Evanston Y. M. C. A. before the end of March.
