MONDAY, MAY 4. 1925 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE THREE Mother's Day Idea Originated by Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia; Celebrated Nationally in 1914 What a beautiful touch on the part of Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia who originated Mother's day! It was celebrated by a number of cities in 1910 and in 1913 it was observed by congress and the executive departments of the government. In 1914 congress authorized the president of the United States to designate, by annual proclamation, the second Sunday in May as the holiday for play of the American flag on government buildings and private homes. The first national Mother's day proclamation was issued by President Wilson in 1914 on May 9. The purpose of Mother's day is to recall memories of the mothers who have gone; to brighten the lives of those who remain and to encourage men, women and children to honor home and parents; and is to be observed by some act of kindness to mother and father. Take a Look at Life As It Will Be in 1984 This element of Time is an elastic thing. We can draw back the curtains of memory and live again sideways in a function of a second. We are not going to revert back now, but we shall take a peep into the mysteries which he beyond—which if we live longer, will be replicas in the year 1984. We are a restless race on this earth, always building, investigating, hoping and expecting something to happen. On July 18, 1984, a scientist who will not bear for five years, he will be forced to work listening to something which he believes is incredible. But as he listens with an intense anger, in an, effort to catch every word, he forms a mental picture of a race, short of stature, large head with huge bulging eyes, pretruding over a triangular shape face—the people of Mars, where we have no chance of an ancient dary and gassess nature which will blow us to atoms. Exports in the hell of science are outstamped in each marvelous creature. I can't think of a reason as that on Mars and they immediately set to work to invent a powerful something when what they invent is not in touch with nothingness if they attempt their plans. With 600 active geniuses working on this exhaustive mental pabulum it takes only 11 months and 14 days to solve the problem. A mammoth machine is invented from which shoots hot lava around our planet—the Earth, forming a crust that will eventually be as the Earth, Sun. At this point, we become dazed and dart back into the present epoch of time—to await the prodigy. Typhoid Fever Statistics Compiled by J. L. Barron J. L. Barron, assistant engineer in the sanitation laboratory, has recently worked out a chirt from statistics sent out by the department of commerce showing the decrease in the death rate from typhoid fever in his registration areas in which accurate information could be gathered. Epidemics from typhoid have been largely eliminated. The causes given for the decrease are better health conditions in general, improved methods of medical treatment, purification of milk supplies and improvement of milk supplies and proved methods of sewerage dis- The chart shows that until 1910 Kansas was above the average but since that time she has had a decrease from 23.5 in 1910 to 4.1 for Kansas in 1924 and 6.8 for the registration area in 1923. The rate throughout Kansas increased. Phi Chi Initiates Phi Chi, professional medical fernition, hold initiation Sunday for 1 bledges. They were: Carroll U. John, Wakehouse, Elbert B. Digrand, Sullivan B. Digrand, Mountain Valley; John M. Powers, Kansas City, Mo.; Edward R. Morrish, St. Louis, William H. Earl, Eskridge, Wymond C. Maria, Paula, Wayne C. Bartlett, Spavelleville, Willa C. Hookinson, Turon; Roy L. Krouses, Managoura, J. L. Murray, Louise L. Jackman, Burcyus; Hanson B. Piggam, Concordia. It was Abraham Lincoln who, at the height of his brilliant career, refused to take praise into himself, saying, "All that I am, or ever hope to be, I love to my angel mother." A beautiful tribute to his mother and one which can be said of Motherhood the whole world over. The University of Texas need not bother with endowment drives as it owns 2,080,000 acres of land of which more than 100,000 acres are under oil development. Every month $10,000 is turned over to the University as a royalty for the oil produced on that land. The self-sacrifice and guidance of a mother's love in a little cottage somewhere has been responsible for many a successful career. How fitting it is that all over this great land of ours all should pay tribute to the mothers on the same earth. That it has become nationally observed. A little gift of love—a card, flowers, candy—just aremember to her on this her own day, means so much to the little mother who is so anxiously and lovingly following the doings of her son or daughter. It can brighten her day and make her feel that the day is really hers.

Century Old Quake Felt Middle West Trembles Yearly From 1811 Shock (Science Service) Washington, May 4. —The earthquake of over a century ago is still being felt in the Mississippi Valley Region. This is the explanation of the loss of Lake Jackson, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois on Sunday. According to Capt. H. N. Heek, in charge of the seismological investigations of the U. S., Coast and Geodetic Survey here, a mild earthquake has been felt at least once each year for many years and all of these disturbances are associated in some way with the very severe earth shock that occurred in 1811 centering at what is now St. Louis, Missouri, where the region was uninhabited by humans. The tremors of Sunday were so light and incomprehensible that they were not even registered on seismographs so far as a known. Whether they mean that the region is quietly and gently moving, or that another great earth convolution is in the making is a question upon which seismologists are divided. Another earthquake which was recorded on instruments was also experienced on Sunday. The observatory at B.C., gave its location as 8100 miles southwest of that point, probably near the Dutch Indies. International Conference on Arms Traffic Begin Geneva, Switzerland, May 4. Control of the international traffic in arms and the private manufacture of war materials is to be discussed by the representatives of 40 nations, including the United States, at a conference under the League of Nations, which opens at 4 p. m. today. (United Press) Former senator Theodore Burton of Ohio heads the American delegation which arrived last week. Carlton Dewitt, former premier of Belgium, was named chairman of the conference. ANNOUNCEMENTS Dr. Alexander S. Krau, professor of Latinic languages at the University of California, will give a stereotype lecture in Fraser chapel at 8 p.m. today.

Conference of Students Discusses College Sports (Continued from page 1) A few of the schools have a mem- member of the student council a marshall who reports violations of the campus rules. (Contrained from page 1) Various modes of electing cheerleaders are in vogue. One of the successful plans is the selection of either the candidates or the making of the final choice in the hands of a committee, consisting of the athletic team's coaches, the league representatives and the old cheerleader Sometimes a tryout is held. Schools Have Blanket Tax The discussions brought out that student government is more complete at mongas schools than it is here at the University of Kansas. But at some it is also less advanced. Nearly all of the schools of the conference have a blanket tax to cover the year's activities. The vote on the tax at the recent elections has not yet been tabulated. In many of these schools work in the committee to serve the council for expenditure w activities of the University. James reported on his return that the University of Kansas and Tulane university were the only two schools having openly the two-part system, which has long been criticized. schools have the largest percentage of voters in their elections. The percentage of actual voters to possible voters in the spring elections here was about 60 per cent in contract to 25 per cent and less other places. In the discussion on athletics it was brought out that all of the schools were endeavoring to make participation in some sort of athletics competitive. The schools the student council has much more control in athletics than it does here. The practice of giving scholarships in order to encourage athletics is the practice in some universities in the eastern part of the conference. "K. U.'s condition in student conduct and morality is good as paw an any school and better than most, I be more said in telling of the conference. Use Calendar Arrangement In a few schools the councils are making efforts to co-ordinate activities. One method is a calendar compiling information of like organizations on the same night/ During the Friday and Saturday sessions B. Winegar Crone and William McKinley Moore, students from here, were present. The annual banquet and installation of officers here will take place Thursday evening. WANT ADS R. O. T.
