THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A
First Mother's Day Observed by Churches of Philadelphia England Also Adopts Custom
Mothers' day is the day when the clicking in the telegraph office is livelier than usual, when messenger letters are exchanged through the city with messages of endearment and greeting, when the juvenile men and women of affairs pause, at least for a moment, with tender affection, and when mothers are happy.
This is one tradition which does not come down to us from antiquity. It was first observed in Philadelphia, May 10, 1908.
We owe it to Miss Anna Jairwin, in Philadelphia club woman, for concurring the idea in its comprehensive form. The National Women's Christian League two decades before had observed a "Mother's Day" as one of its red-letter days. The date Jan. 3 was chosen because it is the birthday of Mary Thompson Hill Willard, mother of Michele Phelan, a pioneer in the prohibition movement.

"The wearing of the white curtain is one of the features of the day," writes a contemporary author, just after the first observance of the day in Philadelphia. "Its impelling object is to crystallize latent motion through its growth with a view of stemming the tendency to forgetfulness and throughlessness of home ties.
It was in 1912 that the governor of Texas adopted the policy of observing the day by pardoning a number of inmates, and in 1913 adopted its observance and in 1913 a bill passed the house of representatives and the senate making the second Sunday in May a national holiday, "dedicated to the best mother in the world, your mother."

Washington, April 27 — Motion of stars through space is not n random, hit or miss motion, like a swarm of giants, but many stars are moving elsewhere. At the same time such star streaming is a common phenomenon, if views presented to the National Academy of Sciences by Prof. Frank Schlesinger, of Yale University.
The Yale Observatory, of which Doctor Schlesinger is director, has recently issued a catalog giving the motions across the sky of over 8,000 faint stars in a section of the northern sky. Studies of these motions that star separates by great distance are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. Though it will be necessary to find out how rapidly these stars are moving towards or away from the earth before it can be determined whether they are actually moved in parallel paths, Professor Schlesinger stated that such cases occur often that they are not due to chance.
