Â­. Â­If you've ever heard a car engine running without a muffler, you know what a huge difference a muffler can make to the noise level. Inside a muffler, you'll find a deceptively simple set of tubes with some holes in them.
On June 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the nationâs first âFatherâs Day.â However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Motherâs Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States.
The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. There, a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother's Day celebrations to plan a day to honor fathers. In the USA, Father's Day has been celebrated in June since 1910. The celebrations in the United Kingdom and other countries are thought to have been inspired by the American custom of Father's Day. This is in contrast to Mother's Day, which has a very different history in the United States and the United Kingdom.
