The little posy for the buttonhole soared in price; there was a disposition to consider for a moment the debt that grown man or woman should ac- knowledge to the mother who watch- ed over the early childhood days, who sacrificed and loved and had that faith in achievement that helped to bring success. By evening the posy had withered, the thought had turned again from the Mother, who in the morning was honored, and today the world wags on without any particular considera- tion of mothers, individually or in general. We are no more interested than we were last week in making the working world a place where a] mother may earn a living for her-| self and her children when that nec- | essity confronts her, without so im- | pairing her health and strength that | she is unfit for the tasks incidental to the proper rearing of her child- | ren. We are acknowledging today, | in a tacit but eloquent way, that' there was little behind the senti-, ment of Mothers' Day more than the | falling in with a that is] easier to follow than to oppose. Mothers' Day might and should be made to stand for more than it does. | It could be made a day in which the | attention of the general public should be directed to the motherhood among those to whom it | has not been made easy by fortunate! circumstances. We might upon that one day of the year permit ourselves, to deal honestly with the matter of , motherhood, free ourselves from that | easy sentimentality that is satisfied with a carnation in the buttonhole, | perhaps a letter written after a long interval of silence and a little pious expression of appreciation of one' Mother in particular,in behalf of that great army of Mothers who by the most persistent sort of struggle only! are able to keep together the children of the family and provide for them the bare necessities for life. We shall have no true Mothers' Day so long as it remains an occasion of display instead bf activity. Who- ever is not seeking, in whatever way it is within his power to serve, the establishment of a condition in which children everywhere may enjoy the care that a proper Mother gives her custom difficulties of | i family, free from the strain of in- dustrial demands because of the necessity for her te be both mother and breadwinner, is not generally convinced of the sacredness of Motherhood.

But from this evidence of a recog- | | nition of the difference in the English tongue as spoken by | the Englishman and ' by the | American there has arisen con- | siderable discussion as to the future of the language. Are Briton and | American finally to speak different | languages or are the English to adopt | our manner of speech or we theirs? | There are in England those who fear | one eventuality or the other, and | those in America who look, but with | equanimity, to a future in which an interpreter will be necessary between the American and the Englishman. Both groups are, unless the present signs fail, unduly disturbed by these minor differences of idiom and ac- cent, for they are failing to take into | account the greatest factor in the matter. They forget that the develop- | ment of the interest be- tween America and England through a common danger, now happily pass- ed, has brought about a new under- standing between us and our cousins common across the water which will certain- | ly develop into a closer intercourse | and a fuller acquaintance in the fut-| More quent meetings and closer ure of the two nations. fre- | business | association will tend to keep us and - them developing along the same line.

That's why we always recommend The Guaranteed DEVOE Lead and Zinc Paint Fewer Gallons--Wears Longer It contains no whiting, silica, china clay or other such stuff. It is made of the same pure ingredients that the old-time paintes used: Pure White Lead, Pure White Zinc, Pure Linseed Oil, and nothing else. Devoe is mixed by machinery, 1000 gallons at a time. That makes it absolutely uniform in strength, color and covering capacity--always takes fewer gallons, too. Let us show you the real economy of paing ing Devoe paint.

Using the same fuel, it shows a substantial increase in mileage, and in addition it runs perfectly on grades of gasoline that would choke the ordinary engine. The intake manifold of the engine is above the firing chambers, where it is constantly surrounded by heat. In addition the exhaust from the two central cylinders against the wall of the manifold forms a hot spot directly in the path of the in-rushing gases. The gas strikes the hot spot, becoming completely vaporized, and courses through the heat surrounded manifold in the form of a dry gas that is totally burned, without waste. Perfect balance of chassis and light weight further contribute to operating economy -- which means more miles per gallon of gas and reduced wear on tires. For superior performance and economy the Stephens is supreme. Proof at your pleasure. SCARCE ARITA Telephones, Evanston 578-579 ~ cn --NT e TF - . " pr ------] A ee
