Fly MYRTLE MILES

The suburban horse shows about New
 York and Washington are attracting espe-
 oial interest socially just now. Town and Country makes this note:
 Notwithstanding the great increase in
 motors, with the hint of aeroplanes as society's favorite vehicle in the near fu- ture, the horse is now coming into his own. Society, driving, riding, or in the
 boxes, will for the next ten days extend
 its presence from Rock Creek to Fort Myer, with the new oval of the National Horse Show association on the outskirts
 of Potomac park as the social center of the capital for the first four days of May
 The two thousand spectators at Fort Meyer on Tuesday and Wednesday, April
 23 and 24, included not only the entire army contingent of the capital, but scores of visitors from the hunt clubs of Vir- ginia; the Warrenton, the Keewick, the Loudoun, and the Orange County club all having numerous representatives among the spectators. This, the second annual show at Fort Myer, is under the direction of Lieut.. Col. Frederick s. Foltz, who commanded the expedition to London last Sp1lQS, Lieut. 1Ol T V. JOililSOlit 1dPt' J. R. Lindsay, Lieut.. J. H. Diekey of the Fifteenth United States cavalry Maj. c. s. Summerall and Lieut. J. ". Downer of the Third field artillery, and Captain Dean of the Fifteenth cavalry; the yellow and the red taking joint honors in it's success.
 Tn the riding contest daughters of offi- cers participated; Miss Helen Buchanan on her ribbon winning Katydid took new honors with Miss Mabel Gredle and Miss Janette Allen also in the ring. A third event with the horse as it's central figure will be the two days meet of the new Rock Creek Hunt club at Bennings, May 1e and IS. This latest of the capital clubs has grown from the all-year-round riding club under the presidency of MT. William
 Phelps Emo. formerly of New York. The bench show, now in progress at the Ar cade has enjoyed a great vogue with all ages classes and conditions of Washing ton residents, with special favor from the social elect Miss Katherine Elkins, just back from a visit sto Guatemala, was one of the exhibitors with large number of entries. Mrs. Augustus P. Gardiner, wife of Representative Gardiner of Massachu- setts, and daughter of Senator Lodge, and Mrs. Huntington Wilson are smart women prominently identified with the success of the show. These exhibitions having been planned long ahead hardly come under the class of amusements.

BIBLE STUDIES OF BROOKLYN
 TABERNACLE
By PASTOR RUSSELL

..The Rich Man in Hell.' Luke vi. 20-26; xvi, 1s-31
 "A mans life consistent notl in the abundance of the things which fhe pos seth."-Luke xvi, 15.
 Not all the poor are to be blessed and to inherit the kingdom of God, etc., as set forth in this lesson. We are ito notice particularly the setting of the Masters s words. He lifted alp His eyes ons His dis ciples. and said, Blessed arefye poor. for youiy is the kingdom of iGod''-"ye .Snil he filled"-s'your rewardsis great In heaven. Undoubtedly poverty'is a greater aid to diseipleship than wealth. The cost of discipleship is the surrender of every earthly ambition 10 follow in Jesus foot steps.
 We must realize that our" all, much or lfttle is the Lords, and that faithfulness in sacrificing what we have will decide whether or not we shall share His glory "Without a Parable Spake He NOt'
 The second part of our lesson is one of our Lords most striking parables. We read that He opened His mouth in para bles and dark sayings, that, hearing, they might hear and not understand" !" Only a slight investigation, however, is necessary to demonstrate that this is a parable-that it would be unreasonable to consider it to be a statement of literal facts It would be unreasonable to sup pose that a man would be sent, after death to torment merely because in the present life he fared sumptuously every day, and wore purple and fine linen Noth- ing whatever is said about the character of the man, and we are not permitted to add to the word of God. The rich man represented a class.
 Similarly, the poor man must have sym bclized a class, because no reason IS given for his blessing after death, except that he was poor, covered with sores and lay at the rich mans gate eating the criimbs.
 Considered as parable this is one of : the most interesting and helpful of all our Lords utterances. The rich man repre- sents the Jewish nation, highly favored by God The bountiful table represents the rich promises of the law and the prophets, which were theirs alone up to the time that they nationally died to those favors. The rich mans purple repre- sents royalty--the fact that they were Gods typical kingdom.

A MUSICIANS OPINION OF
 MINNEAPOLIS ORCHESTRA

The coming of the Minneapolis Sym phony orchestra is an event worthy of the most enthusiastic anticipation of Bir- mingham music lovers. according to the verdict of those who have heard it. Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., who is thoroughly familiar with the work of the orchestra, having heard several of their programmes in Chicago, and appeared with them as soloist, was asked yesterday as a critic of wide experience for her estimate.
 Tt is a beautiful orchestra" she said, with emphasis. ."rhe personnel is an ag- gregation of genuine musicians whose IT astery and understanding of their in struments are evident In touch and tone. making the whole ensemble superb. It Is one of the best balanced orchestras l have ever heard. This is chiefly, I be- lieve, because there is a feeling of per manenee among the musicians, and they have a pride in gaining and maintaining a high standard, in a sort of cooperative way. In many of the orchestras, you know, the players are recruits-playing few times and then going on. These men are devoted to their conductor, MT. Oberhoffer, and he gets from them their very best work He is a most able man. with easy control of his msn-magnetic and harming-altogether of the stuff from which good conductors are made. He and his orchestra, working In con- sonnance, achieve sort of virility and freshness characteristic of the spirit of the west.
 The attitude of Chicago toward the Minneapolis orchestra, continued Mrs. Aldrich, "is an interesting matter in the orchestral situation. Last year Chicago received them in paternal and more or less patronizing fashion, as a nice young orchestra from the west'-nothing to reck- on with the older aggregation like Thomas and some of the others to whom they had grown accustomed. Chicago was astonished and thoroughly delighted, Chicago simply adopted the Minneapolis orchestral This year it was heralded in far different fashion. for the news was ,fent out that a great many were coming during the season, but among the two or three placed at the very top of musi- cal appreciation was the Minneapolis.

NOTABLE BIRTHDAYS

 few weeks, comments recent journal,

 of certain men of affairs. In each case

 now in Europe, is 75. Returning from q long trip up the Nile, he is in excellent health and is hobnobbing with celebrities and keeping a weather eye on the finan-
 cial news as well as on the acquisition of more art treasures. The Rev. pr.
 Charles H. Parkhurst has just passed his seventieth birthday. Although a Presby- terian divine of much prominence, he be-
 came more generally known in 1890, when
 series of vice and police exposures were under way and he was invited by the late Dr. Howard Crosby to become a member of the Society for the Prevention of Crime As it's president, two years
 later, he delivered his famous sermon and
 entered into his crusade against vice. which resulted in the investigation of the
 police department by the Lexow legisla- tive committee. pr. Parkhurst still writes
 semi-political articles and editorials and he breaches each Sunday in the winter
 at his church on Madison Square. His sermons are always read quietly but with

Increasing School Capital
Undemocratic Discrimination

"Why does she not do these things Largely because many of our legisla- lures have been more generous in their appropriations than they have been in their eloquent speeches on the duty of the state to educate her country boys than they have been in their recognition of the easiest way to get the funds for it. The state gives all that it can afford and 1t has given generously. Is 1t not the logical business move now for the counties and districts to be allowed to in- crease the working capital of their local schools if they so desire? Why the towns and cities should be allowed to tax their own property at their own pleasure for the upbuildng of their own schools, whereas the country people should be constitutionally forbidden to levy similar taxes upon themselves is enough to non- illus any believer in American democ- lacy. Would not the eloauence of our Alabama legislators as they laud the great good, common sense of the farmer be wee bit mora convincing if they strove for a constitutional change grant ing their constituents the power of local saxat tion? It would at least indicate on the part of the representative a faith that the farmer has enough sense to handle his own money in the business of educat- ing his own children.
 Far Behind Other States
 As the situation now Is. Alabama all most alone of all the states still holds her farmer class to the ridiculous post tion of being absolutely unable to vote upon their own property any district tax whatever for the upbuilding of their own schools and only the pitiful maximum of mill under certain county conditions diff ficult to meet. Is it fair or sensible for Alabama to retain longer in her constitli- tion such limitation of the powers of the farmer over his own property? AS a mere matter of political self preserva- tion. will our next legislature again fail to pass local taxation bill. giving the farmer the same right and power over his own property as the voters in all towns and cities already have?"

ALABAMA WASTEFULNESS

Mrs. Prentiss B. Reed, the publication member of the education committee of the Federation of Womens Clubs, sub mits the following excellent paper:
 The millions of the Rockefellers, the Goulds and the Vanderbilts of the world would hardly last long enough to establish tl,eir families if there were applied to them the same blind mismanagement and the same gross wastefulness with which Alabama cares for her educational invest ments. Any business man in the state would hoot at the idea of building $6,- oo0,0oo slxyscraper and keeping 1t open only 127 days in the whole year. No man in world would accept in unprotesting. sloth- ful contentment the fact that he was able to keep this expensive plant actually oc- cupied by tenants only 80 days in the year.
 This, however. is precisely what Ala bama is doing. The value of her public school buildings and sites is s6 149, 413. interest on which at the legal rate would be $419.953 for one year. The buildings, however, are open only 1z7 days, which means that our state literally throws away each year $32O,SS4 interest behind the locked doors of her short term schools.
 We do not at all overlook the fact that the engthening of the term would call for an additional expenditure Neither can we forget, however, that any up to date corporation which considers its bus mess profitable strives constantly to in- crease it's business. Any business man understands that though this calls for increased expenditure 1t is the only way he can materially increase his profits.
 Increasing School Capital
 "It is reasonably certain that unless Alabama considered the education of her citizens profitable business she would not be engaged in it even to the extent of 127 days in the year. If profitable, why then will she not apply to it the same methods she uses in her other busi- ness undertakings? Why will she not reach out for greater profits by lengthen- iny her school terms and thus secure the otherwise dead interest on her school properties?
