Ancient EaxptIan Grandeur.

OF all conquests of Alexander the
Great, Egypt enjoyed the earliest and
most lasting prosperity. AS soon as
Ptolemy, the son Of Lagus, had re-
gained possession Of this country 1t
resisted the attempts Of Others by the
advantages of its natural situation.
Ptolemy had a moderation in his dis
position which restrained him from
meddlIng with affairs in which he was
obliged to venture too much. He soon
acquired the reputation Of equity and
gentleness by which he gained the ia
vor Of the people and the confidence
of other kings. About 2S4 b. G. Egypt
became the chief seat Of the sciences
Of Greece during the reign Of Ptolemy
PhIladelphus The grandeur displayed
by this prince in architecture became
proverbial. He and his sons we're pat
terms Of wise and virtuous monarchs.
But the later Ptolemies did not con-
form themselves to such models.

Our idea of useful present for a modern bride would be a half dozen can openers.
 This would be a wonderful world if men inherited big brains the way they inherit big noses.
 If the girls wear their wrist watches on their ankles this summer, as is pre- dicted, q lot of men will pay more at tention to the time.
 Even if you had all the money you wanted, the chances are that you would find something else tc kick and growl about
 There never was married man who did not realize later on that he talked too darn much during the courtship.
 The man who knows it is wrong to steal other things. sees no harm in stealing advertising from newspapers.
 Every romantic younk thing wants two pillows on her bed--one to sleep on and the other to hug.
 If the young doctors were as wise as they try to look, the nndertakers would starve to death.
 A girl has sense enough to make a husband out of her lover. But she hasn't sense enough to make a lover out of her husband. sss

THE TESS AMENDMENT

of the National Education association, National Council of Executive and Ad- ministrative Women in Education, Ma tional Grange, Land Grant College as- sociation, National Woman's Christian Temperance union, and the National Association of University Women.
 These organizations are hopeful that the bill pass this session, since both the republican and democratic plat forms declared themselves in favor or vocational education for women. The republican platform declared that fed-- eral aid for ocational education train ing should take into account the spe- cial aptitudes and needs of women workers. The democratic platform ad- vocates increased appropriations for vocational training in home economies.
 An enthusiastic advocate of training for home making said the other day, Most people think of home economies as meaning just two subjects-cooking and sewing. We'll, cooking and sewing are very important, but the home maker needs to know more than that. She cannot just cook without under standing the health value of the food she buys. She cannot just sew with out knowing how to select durable ina terials, and how to- design attractive as well as sensible clothes. Most of all she must be taught how to care for children, and how to keep the whole family well, and the methods of nome nursing-for even the healthiest family has it's spells of illness.

GT1 HE woman runs the home and
 brings up the child. Children
 S grow up to be men and women. Men and women are the nation. Any educational opportunity which teaches the woman to do her job better means a better nation. This is the substance of the argument for the passage of the Fess home economies amendment, which had a good running start at the last Congress and which will be one of the first pieces of legislation brought up at this present Congress.
 The bill receives it's popular title. Tess home economics amendment" be- cause it was introduced by the genial Simeon P. Fess, representative from Ohio, who introduced the measure in the House of Representatives and has promised to introduce it again. In deed, Congressman Fess has been nick named "Vocational Educa ation" Fess. because of his actively expressed inter est in that method of training.
 Womens organizations have ex- pressed themselves strongly in favor of this measure. National organiza- tions which have gone on record n It's behalf are the American Home Economies association, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, National League of Women Voters, National Society for Vocational Education, Ma tional Congress of Mothers and Parent Teacher associations, deans of wom- .en in colleges. the vocational section

Spring Festival Begins
 at the Jefferson Tonight

1NHE initial appearance of the Bir-
 Il mingham Symphony orchestra at the Jefferson theatre tonight should prove a notable event in music cir cles. It will mark the continuation of many years of effort to provide the people of Birmingham with a sym phony orchestra which will rank with the best in the country.
 The Spring Festival will be given under the auspices of the Birming- ham Orchestral society, composed of men and women who have worked hard to make it a success. They should receive the whole-hearted SUD- port that will assure the permanency of the orchestra and place Birming- ham where it ought to be as the musi- cal center of the south. The prelimi- ildl WOih HdS Deel uOuSs l ne peO- pie of Birmingham must prove that they want the best music by their patronage. An orchestra cannot be maintained without heavy expense.
 The Birmingham Symph: ny orches- tra consists of 50 musicians, and is conducted by Ferdinand Dunkley, d leader who is exceptionally we'll equipped. If the people of Birmire- lam will support this orchestra it viii become in time a great asset to the cultural life of the city, will draw musicians and music lovers to Bir- mingbam and viewed from the busi- ness mans point of view vii even- tually cause s great deal of money to tc spent here.
 Three performances will be given at the Jefferson theatre-tonight, to- morrow afternoon and tomorrow night.

 Tremendous Business Done by
 Life Insurance Companies C7NHE volume of business done by U the life insurance companies of the country speaks we'll for the thoughtfulness or Americans in pro- tecting their dependents against the vicissitudcs If life and the uncertainty of death.
 The 252 American life insurance companies in 1920 paid cut to benefi- charles over $763, 100000. The com bined assets of these companies is more than seven billions of dollars, the 1920 income was more than a billion and three quarters.
 New regular business to the amount of nearly nine billions was written and new industrial business amounted to a billion and half. The 252 com panies have nearly forty-five billions of insurance on their books.
 The increases over the preceding year were marked. Both ordinary and industrial insurance made cor responding gains.
 The thrifty American takes out life insurance as a matter of course.
 He does it for his family and for business purposes. The bulk of it is for the protection of those who would otherwise be without protection. It is high tribute to the magnanimity of the average man, of his sense of responsibility to those whom he has begotten or whose care he has as- sumed.
 It is the assurance of orderly so- ciety. But for life insurance hundreds of thousands or women and children would be on the hands of communi- ties, burden to the tax payer and a clog to progress.
 Finally it is testimony of mans de- sire to face his Creator with a clean conscience.

 north as possible on Sunday to get glimpse of the country. The flowers were to symbolic their day in the open.
 Late Sunday afternoon out of curios- ity I walked along Riverside Drive from One Hundred Fifty-seventh to One Hundred Tenth street. A block here is hardly half as long as one in Birmingham.
 For the entire distance the broad sidewalks the benches and the park way were thick with people while along the roadway was an endless stream of automobiles going each way at a speedway pace. It seemed there were thousands of baby buggies. There were pet dogs of every variety and every degree of prosperity. There foreign looking women with knitted scarfs over their heads. There wore young lovers holding hands under nearly every tree. There were bare- headed couples cantering horseback along the bridle path. There were hundreds of children with toy balloons Boys were playing animal games and delightfully."- frightening little girls. The boy leading a Hooded Pomeran- ian by a silver trimmed leash was no prouder than the boy who was leading a cur by string. The sun shone radiantly for all of them.
 This is the scene which New York's most fashionable apartment dwellers along the "drive' look down upon this and the ugly bank of the Hud- son below, the lazy ships lying in the river and the hay palisades on the other side.

IN THE ANTI-swEET BY-AND-BY

Arthur H. Folwell, in Leslie's.
 With western states legislating against the cigarette and the Anti-To- bacco league but one of number Of moral bodies determined upon "regu- iating," the future holds rich promise of variety for the interstate tourist. States were once wet or dry, accord ing to the temper of their special laws. The Pullman porters confidential warning, '1f yo' all want any mo drinks, gents, yo' better order 'em now, kase we'll be over in - in haffen hour" has still recent ring, and though stilled for the moment by con voice may again be heard in the land in this manner:
 If yo' all wants any meat fo' din- ner, gents, yo' better place yo' orders now Be over in Illinois in twenty minutes an dat states done gone vege- crossn' state line, gents
 And, of course. the trainboy with his package goods
 Fresh mixed and broken candy! Chocolate peppermints an extra sour lemon drops! Last call for candy! No. ma am; cahft sell no confectionery after passin into Utah. States gone anti sweet"
 Likewise. the insinusting waiter in the diner:
 "Demi-tssse? No, sah. Cant serve no coffee while goin' through New Jer- sey Can't bring yo' none till we gets over in Pennsylvania. Anti-Coffee league ain't got Pennsylvania yet"
 These examples will suffice, though others might be added. Representa- tive" legislatures, under the lash of moral Hobbies. will no doubt enact ad- ditional laws. A tourist traversing the United States five years hence will find himself subject to many new forms of regulation, all designed to conserve his health and general well-being, if not fering opinion will be- of course, in- evitable. and some states. doubtlesA will bar only red meats, permitting lamb and chicken to be served. Maine may become strictly vegetarian, with beefsteak carried on the hip, or served craftily in certain low dives beneath an innocent layer of mashed potatoes and turnips. As to candy. Utah may prohibit cream -centers and allow nut centers to be sold, while Kansas. not, ing sugars vicious habit of ferment- ing. may taboo candy altogether. and make it's sale or purchase a states prison offense.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Wants No Opponent


 'T believe that the way to get what you want is to go after 1t with all your energy" said Senator Charles s. Mcdowell of Eufaula, who is here attending the meeting of the State Bar association.
 That is the plan of campaign adopted the day I announced for lieu tenant governor, and that Is the meth cd have followed since that ime' What I am striving for is to be elected without opposition"
 Mir. Mcdowell said that Barbour county and the black belt had been severely hit by the depression In cot ton and other agricultural products and that most business was marking time awaiting the gathering of an- other crop. While there can be no material improvement until another crop Is gathered, we are hopeful the fact another crop has been planted ana Is growing will at least make all our people feel more hopeful"
 MT. Mcdowell, who is a former pres ident of the state Bar association, is spending the time between sessions or the convention in meeting his friends in Birmingham. Due to his support Of several measures in the senate in which Birmingham people were inter- ested, he has many friends here.

several years agoo, or rather a good many years ago, as those things are reckoned, I turned down a chance to come to Birmingham to make my home and my fortune" said Josephus Dan iels. ex-Secretary of the Navy. when he was here several days ago.
 Perhaps I should have accepted the opportunity. At least, I feel that way about it when I look over the city and see the marvellous development that has taken place in comparatively a short span of years.
 Home is the most attractive place, though, and l am always glad to re- turn to Raleigh. although I must not neglect the opportunity to praise your city"

"Alabama Day" at the
 Walter Reed Hospita,

A LABAMA soldiers wh, are pa- A@A tients at the Walter Reed hos pital in Washington want Birming- ham to help them celebrate Ala bama Day." May 5.
 A telegram was received yesterday by the city commission from mem- bers of the Alabama delegation in Congress, indorsing the celebration and asking the commission to lend it's assistance in raising funds. Only $1,000 is needed to complete the plans.
 Alabama's disabled war heroes were wounded while serving their country in France. Some of them have been at the hospital two years. The peo- pie of Alabama and of Birmingham in particular have an opportunity to show in small way their apprecia- tion of Shat these young men did for America. Other states have had "days" at the Walter Reed hospital. The Alabama celebration must be on an equal if not a greater scale. It should be esteemed a pleasure and a privilege to help our soldiers enter tain their friends and enjoy them selves for at least one day in the year.
 Representative Oliver wrote to Liv- ingston, asking a small donation for the Alabama Day" celebration. The money was raised in few minutes and a check forwarded. The first con tribution from the state came from the Bigbee valley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton. Birmingham must respond quick ly and generously.
 Donations will be forwarded by the city commission. They can also be

* * * Farm Bureau Idea Taking in Alabama

7f1HE progress of the farm bureau U in Alabama is gratifying to those who wish the farmers we'll. This organization is to the farmer what a chamber of commerce is to the city man and goes further in that it is the actual business organization of the farmer.
 The farm bureau is different from many previous cooperative move ments. Officials in the bureau who offer for political office automatically sever their relations with the organi zation. The bureau is for business purposes strictly.
 The bureau has a state organiza- ton and one in each county. The county organization has three direct OTIS in each precinct and each precinct has one representative on the county
 
 board. Each member pays S1O per annum.
 The bureaus funds go first to SUD- port the county agent, who is the bureaus agent and whose office is their business office. The bureau will take up whatever is decided on as an outstanding need. It may be the cooperative purchase of fertilizers and hampers, of pure-bred stock, the cooperative marketing of eggs, but ter and truck. The bureau does one thing at time and gets that going before proceeding on another.
 It is sound expression of the CO., operative plan shorn of politics. It has operated well in most other states of the union and is being given a cordial reception by the wide awake farmers of Alabama.

* * * Big Pipe Contracts and Iron Buying Imminent

1T T looks very much as if there is to U be a big letting of contracts for water pipe in the near future. If this is done, there will be corresponding business in pig iron.
 There are five large water pipe plants that use Alabama pig iron ex- clusively, three in Birmingham, one in Bessemer and one in Anniston, while the plant of the United States Pipe company at Chattanooga uses more Alabama metal than Tennessee. These concerns in normal times melt heavy tonnage of pig iron, several hundred thousand tons per annum. It requires a great deal of pig iron to make water main section 16 feet long and 20 to 70 inches in diame- ter.
 Detroit, Mich., alone is offering 27,000 tons, western water interest is inquiring for five miles of pipe and Key West, Fla, is projecting a water works system of 120 miles in length which will require 6O,OO0 tons. These three inquiries alone represent nearly 100000 tons of pipe, which means that amount of pig iron.
 Municipalities all over the country are anxious to extend their water mains. Difficulty in disposing of bond

LIFE IS A DAYS LABOR

By John Burroughs.
 In every mans life we may read some lesson What may be read in mine? If I myself see correctly, it is this: altogether useless life on cheap and easy terms; that the essential things are always near at hand that ones own door opens upon the wealth of heaven and earth, and that all things is a struggle, but not a warfare; 1t is a days labor, but labor on Gods earth. under the sun and stars with other laborers. where we may think and sing and rejoice as we work.
