The people look on the parks almost as they do on education or the public schools. To take away the park appor- tlonment would be like taking away the school funds
 The speaker continued to give num- Der of examples of other cities and con- eluded by asking the people of Birmng- ham to get behind the movement for park music. He stated that the Ala bama University Glee club would give a concert at the Country club at an early date under the auspices of the ladies of the Musical club.

No Need Being Old or
 Wrinkled Before 75

Lillian Russell says any woman who has wrinkles before she's 75 Is herself responsible for them. Sunshine and fresh air she considers more valuable as complexion preservers than nostrums and cosmet tics.
 The chief objection to cosmetics is that at best they only temporarily cov- CT up defects. There are certain true aids to Nature which may be applied with directly opposite effect Ordinary mercolized wax for instance, actually removes a bad or oldish complexion. by gradually, almost imperceptibly peel ing off the worn-out scarf skin. Just one ounce. proeurable at any drug store will soon unveil entirely new and natural complexion, with an eN- qulsite girlish color. Of course cu- taneous blemishes like pimples, freck- les fine lines, moth patches. liver spots, disappear with the discarded skin.
 To prevent or remove wrinkles face bath which also produces natural results Is made by dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. It's wonderfully effective.

TIRES EXHIBITED
 MUST BE ON CARS Goodyear and Others Are Making Fine Display at
 the Auto Show

The average observer at the automobile exhibit at the aviation meet will perhaps think peculiar that no automobile tires are stacked up waiting to be looked over with bright young man in charge ex- plaining the skid and non-skid powers of the rubber part of an automobile.
 However, the rules of some association which evidently has authority over such matters require that tire makers exhibit their wares actually on the automobiles shown at the expositons.
 At the exposition being held here the company of Akron, O., makers Of the Goodyear non-skd tires. has on cars 1912 sets of tires. They are attached to the various makes of cars and attract un- usual attention. The exhibition of the Goodyear firm has created great deal of interest at the exposition in that it re- fleets the aggressive campaign that is being waged locally by J. G. Caldwell, local manager, and Frank II. Gafford, Jr.. city salesman, in placing the Good year tires before the buyers.
 Second in importance numerically is the number of Morgan & Wright tires shown, six and one-half The tires are similar to the average automobile owner. In ad- dtion the Diamond Tire company has five sets. irestone company three sets and the rich one set, and the Fisk one se'
 Of wo firms named above, the GoodS - and the Diamond, they are having erected here an attractive show room on South Twentieth street which will be ready for occupancy within the next few weeks The salesrooms will be mod einly equipped and will be in every re- spect first class.

Music in the Parks" was the sub ject up for discussion at the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce held yesterday noon in the Gold Lion tea room The men who were called on for speeches by Chairman Richard w Massey were Robert Jemison Sr . William Ryan and Hill Ferguson. Mr
 Jemison was called on first and spoke for a short time on the need of the free band concerts. He also told of the need for park drive or good roads
 idea for a city boulevard. Mr. Ryan was the next man introduced.
 After talking about musical art in a general way--serious and classic mu- sic, and music in the lighter vein, in- cluding the ephemeral, catchy mu- sic with which musical comedy has made us familiar. MT. Ryan said, apropos of open air music here in Bfr- mingham:
 concerts in the parks are human izing and educatiye as well as divert ing and if individual citizens will con tribute small amounts, say from sl 70 s5. the ladies of the Music study club, nder whose auspices the open air con- certs are given, will be able to employ a larger band than heretofore and 10 extend the season from 10 weeks. Us iast summer, to II or 12 weeks.
 Value of Concerts
 "As a civic proposition the value of free band concerts is really too obvious to need discussion Birmingham is fast developing the get-together spirit. If the city commissioners felt able Q ray for the music 1t would not he q. nicult to induce them to make an lappropriation of from s500O to s1o,0e0 a year. But until the city is in bet- ter financial shape the music fund must be raised altogether suppose. by voluntary subscriptions The Birming- ham Railway Light and Power com parv has made q generous donation for tho coming summer The Tennessee company has pledged the same as Ii contributed last summer-$Ge0 The ladies have now in sight about s20o0.
 Year before last when the Music Study club first undertook this work ;t appealed to merchants for subscrip- tions and especially 10 music houses, | out tilc appear Ndo III NfAhis AifiE 10 where we greatly need the get-together spirit. If it had not been for few liberal corporation heads and young Bob Jemison we would have had no concerts in 1910. Last year the fund was larger than it was tho year he- fore, but 1t was conspicuous by the ab- sence of subscriptions from any con- siderable number of individuals. Lei us get together and look at this open air music question as an advertisement : for Birmingham as well as an innocent and refining diversion. Let US appre-
 ciate it as a very important civic fac tor
 .'l hope you gentlemen will take in the
 situation and promote with enthusiasm
 the open air music cause. Certain it is l that whatever helps to make Birming ' ham attractive as a place of residence if summer. as well as winter. benefits th, entire community Let us have q bana this summer of . or % men
