The history of Mothers’ Day dates
back to May 8,- 1914, at which time
a bill was introduced into Congress
proposing that the second Sunday in
Mty should be set aside in commemo
ration of “Mother.” President Wood
row Wilson issued the first proclama
tion making this day an offical
American holiday, and it has b?en
observed annually with growing ritual
and splendor ever since.
Shortly before the resolution of
Congress, Miss Anna Jarvis, of Phila
delphia, conceived the thought of uni
versal tribute to mothers. She had
been appointed by her church to ar
range a memorial for her own mother,
who had been active in the religious
life of the community, and the idea
came to her of having a memorial to
everybody’s mother, paying homage
during the lifetime of this “dearest
friend,” as well as after her death.
The public library this week gath
ered a wealth of material on Mothers’
Day for the purpose of assisting Sa
vannahians with programs and meet
ings. In the reference department
may be found all kinds of suggestions
for celebrating the holiday, with the
history of its origin, sketches, and
numbers of poems. The library report

Captain Fernando Ragusin, linguist,
world traveler and master of the
Cosulich-Italian Line freighter Laura
C., now in port, will deliver a short
address over radio station WTOC at
9:15 o’clock tonight.
The shipmaster will speak on the
Italian government’s program for rec
reation of the working man and de
scribe the effect of foreign “sanc
tions” on his homeland during the
Italian-Ethiopian war.
Captain Ragusin is an ardent ad
mirer of Mussolini. The captain said
yesterday that the trade restrictions
or “sanctions” of foreign nations dur
ing the Italian campaign in Ethiopia
served only to unify the Italian people
and fire them with a spirit of inde
pendence and self-sacrifice which had
never been so universal before. The
visitor also pointed out that those
nations which had imposed trade re
strictions on Ita> would soon be
penalized by the severing with them
of Italian trade relations, now that
the war was at an end.
“Italy is only guilty,” declared Cap
tain Ragusin, “of claiming her rights
in Africa in order to give a breath
ing space to her population of 44.000,-
000 Inhabitants.” The master of the
Laura C. is a frequent visitor tn the
United States. He has made a num
ber of addresses lately over the air
at ports on the Gulf and Atlantia

INDIGNANT LIARS CONTEST
COMMITTEE BRANDS AS LIE
REPORT TRUE STORY ENTERED
The “Liar's Contest” ommittee of
the American Sportsmen's League has
made emphatic denial of the report
that some of “Little George Washing
ton” had cast a shadow upon the in
tegrity of the tail-story tellers by sub
mitting an honest to goodness true
story in the sportsmen's “Liar’s Con
test.”
Rumor was rife that one of Sa
vannah’s more prominent citizens,
working upon the assumption prob
ably that “truth is stranger than fic
tion,” had told a true “fish” story
and it will come as a great relief to
the devotees of the gentle art of
“throwing the bull” that no such
dastardly deed has been done, and
that, even if it had, the contest board
would not tolerate any such entry.
The latest report from the sanctum
of the “parlor matadors” is that in
the next few days, a list of the
“handicaps” for the “liars’ grand
prix” will be published. Many Sa
vannahians will be anxiously scan
ning the headlines for the next few
days to get the odds on their favorites
so that their wagers may be placed
accordingly. It has been suggested
that a central “booking house” be es
tablished or a pari-mutuel machine
installed at Bull and Broughton
streets to facilitate the handling oi
bets.
The following rules for the con
test have been formulated by the' con
test board:
1. (a) All persons who have con
fidence in their skill as liars, or a
high ambition to attain it, are eligible
to enter the contest.
