Mother's Day 1 to Miss Founder of the Custom Mother's Day will be celebrat ed for the first time this year j without the active blessing of I its founder, Miss Anna M. Jar- vis of Philadelphia.

She was 84, weak with the in Virginia made Mother's Day a State-wide holiday in 1912, and Pennsylvania followed suit the next year. With single-minded tenacity, Anna Jarvis made innumerable speeches before men's and women's clubs and meetings of all kinds. She carried on ex tensive correspondence with governors, statesmen, clergy men, and editors. Public response was enthus iastic. Congratulatory letters piled so high that she purchas ed an adjoining house for stor age purposes. In 1914, Anna Jarvis' per suasive pen won over President Wilson himself. He signed a joint Congressional Resolution lauding the American mother as "the greatest source of the country's strength and inspira tion." It established Mother's Day permanently and author ized federal display of the flag "as a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country." In the succeeding years, Miss Jarvis spent every penny of the moderate fortune left by her mother in establishing Mother's Day as a deep-rooted American tradition. During these years, too. she cared for her younger sister, Elsie, blind since birth. The carnation was suggested as official Mother's day flower by Anna Jarvis because it had been her mother's favorite. Gradually the custom develop ed of wearing red carnations to honor living mothers, and white boutonnieres for deceased moth ers. In 1943, a small group of her friends and admirers was shock ed to discover that Anna Jarvis was penniless, ill, and nearly blind. They immediately placed her in Marshall Square Sana torium in West Chester, Pa., where she was comfortably car ed for during her declining years.
