e 12 THE I'}VENINGCSTAR, WASHINGTON, . T C, - SATURDAY, M’.AY 13, 1922 PERSHING'S- DANDY DUDE \ BLUE RIBBON CHARGER Horse Show Winner in Novice Park Saddle Class Is Society horse fanciers mingled with Plebelan equine enthusiasts yesterday at the auspicious opening of the an- " nual Natlonal Capital horse show at Arlington Park, Va. The opening was auspicious from three angles. In contrast to last year's weather of drizzly rain, which caused postponement of the opening for two days, the day was perfect; entries of various classes were more numerous, and finally, as a result of the foregoing, the competition Was “keener and of a grade higher than possible last year. There were scores in the baxes and "grand stand who reveled in the ex- hibition of President Harding's sad- dle horse, Harbell. recently by Harvey Firestone. There were many who broke into cheers when Gen. Pershing’s Dandy Dude captured| the blue ribbon of the officers’ light charger class. | Surpassing all sights, in the eyes; of a number of experts at the show, was the sight of Dr. C. Shirley Car- ‘ter'of Warrenton) Va.. a breeder for thirty-five years, with some of the best horsefiesh of Virginla to show for his proficiency, when'he sat astride Leo, a magnlificent black -saddle horse, owned by E. L. Redman, and won the blue ribbon of the novice “park saddle class. The horse is long- o limbed, clean cut and graceful a point of perfection. Dr. Carter, long and spare, Wwith horseman stamped over virtually every physical ‘feature, perfectly matched his mount -and drew one of theé;most enthusiastic ‘and spontaneous rounds of applause :showered or winners. Proud of Leo. “I've had many a horse,” Dr. Carter said later, “and many persons may not credit it, but I have never had one that could match Leo.” It was an added starter and a feature of the exhibition. J. Arlie Thomas easily captured the roadster class with Pilserner Maid, & | speedy little bay mare, standing e actly 15.2 hands and stepping with as smooth a stride as any exhibited. Mr. .Thomas is a Washingtonian who for vears has been interested in horses in the National Capital. . "One of the most enjoyable features of yesterday's even was the smooth- ness and regulacity with which they were judged. The promptness in get- ting the entries into the judging ring «and the disposal of the prizes ac- counted for the timely conclusion of .the events. As usual. the Chestnut Farms Dairy pai Bobbie and John, took away .the blue ribbon for the heavy draft “team, and the same owners captured first and second in the delivery horse class, with Harry taking the blue and Jim taking the red. Fire Jump Holds Crowd. The fire-jump by the Fort Myer troopers was held until the very last event, and it proved a crowd keeper. Bight horses, first in single file and then in pairs, went through a circle of fire with ease and clean jumping born only of long training and practice. The events and awards were as fol- low Class 46—Light chargers: Dandy Dude, Gen. Pershing, won; Edward F.. L. Victor Froment, second; Mine Sweeper, Ma Stanley Koch, third; Lady Luck, Capt. J. T.

Arthur C. Strom, who was convicted of stealing $4,000 worth of fur coa from the store of John E. Cunnin ham, 316 7th street northwest, Febru- ary 27 last, was sentenced by Justice | ™ Siddons late yesterday afternoon to serve four years inm the penitentiary. When arrested at his room on John Marshall place near the courthouse Strom not only had the fur coats in his possession, but the police say they found a complete burgiar's kit and a quantity of guncotton. The prisoner claimed the tools and the cotton were to be used for an experiment by which he expected to become a rich man. Strom is said to have stated that he was once a cellmate at the Columbus, } Ohio, penitentiary of Joseph Charles Lauzon, recently apprehended by the ice, and who Is said to have con- fessed to a number of burglaries in ‘Washington. Three years in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed by Justice Sid- dons on James Clifton, colored, con- victed of manslaughter in connection with the death of George Wlllll.m. also colored, April 9, 1920. Clifton noted an appeal. Alexander West, former butler, was sent to the penitentiary for eighteen months. West stole jewelry valued at $4,000 from the wife of his em- ployer. CENTRAL HIGH WINNER.

The company will begin on May 5 to bulld a new alrship for lhe‘l}nl!ed States gov- ernment. This fnasterplece is meant to prove, after the collapse of Eng- lish and Italian airships bought by the United States, that lighter-than- air aviation, under the guidance of German science can be made safe and profitable. The hangar, the only one remaining in Germany capable of constructing a Zeppelin of the largest type, stood long under condemnation. At one time the Germans were instructed to proceed with the work of destruc- tion. But they delayed, for they 4 inklings of a curious drama that was being played in Paris.

On this American ship, and not on the much-advertised permission to begin general airship construction af- ter May b, the Germans place all their hopes for the progress of Ger- man sclence in lighter-than-air aviation. For the general permission to build is limited to machines of 30,000 cubic meters. These can re- main twenty-four hours in the air with a small cargo of passengers, or two hours with a large cargo. But afrship aviation, to be commercially profitable, must transport large car- goes on fiights of lwenly _four hours or more. Hence, he Germans point out, the nlllel permission Emounts to permission to bulld ships which cannot possibly compete with forelgn airships, and hence ‘which no- body will order.

COPENHAGEN May 1%2.—Lauge Koch, the Danish arctic explorer ‘wh jubilee expedition was re- ported yesterday to have Buccess- fully traversed the northernmost point of Greenland, could easily have reached the north pole, says an article published today by the National Tidende, written by Asnge Bistrup, & prominent Danish explorer, who describes a meet- ing with Koch near Upernavik, Greenland, on the last stage of the expedition.

TA Tum DE Dum % l( Wit \ '«’l_\l% ¢ 2 rl Germans Assert anything ever bullt before, that the world will decide it cannot afford to scrap the Zeppelin works. The experts of the Zeppelin works assert that the collapse of the R-38 was due (o the attempt of the English constructors to imitate German models on an enlarged scale without taking eorrect account of the altered strains involved. They insist that the English have not accumulated sufficient knowledge to be able to build and guarantee the safe opera- tion of airships of the largest modern type. The British government, they point out, is unwilling to grant sufficlent money for the necessary study and experimentation. Italians Also Lacking. The collapse of the Italian airship Roma was not due to the fault of the constructors, these experts say. How- ever, Italy is also not yet equipped to build and guarantee ships of the su- per-Roma type. The Germans alone, it is argued, have the equipment, the co-ordinated staft of experts and workmen and the long-accumulated technical knowledge which the prob- lem demands. If the largest of the three Friedrichshafen hangars is de- stroyed, the whole factory mast lan- guish for lack of orders, and the staff, which has been held together in par- tial idleness since the armistice, must be dispersed for good. The Zeppelin company denies that it has made or received any formal propositions from the newly organ- ized General Air Service Company in ‘America, of which Marshall Field, 3d, is a director. But I can state that in- formal negotiations are going on. This company, unfortunately, will not be able to inaugurate a Chicago-New York Zeppelin service in the summer of 1923, as indicated in a recent prns- 5 pectus. To build a large airship quires fifteen months, and the perm! glon of the allles is further necessary if the Zeppelin company is to build more than the one ship for the United States. A much longer time must elapse before the company can in- augurate its complete announced pro- gram, including Chicago-New York, €hicago-St. Louls, Chicago-San Fran- cisco, New York-Filorida and lines to Europe, Mexico and South America. But that the comparty means business is indicated by its recent purchase of the patents of the Schuette-Lanz company of Mannheim, Germany.. The Zeppelin company has also com- pleted all preliminary arrangements for the erection of factories in Spain to build 100-cubic-meter airships- for fegular commercial service batween Cadiz and Buenos Aires. The company would be nominally Span would have the support of the Span- ish government, which is much inter- ested in knitting closer its relations with Spanish-America. Actual work is held up only by the tergiversation of the cortes. DAYS FROM POLE packed. I could have reached the , pole with one sled and one com- panion within twelve days.” HIGH SGHOOL PLAY GIVEN.

PHILOSOPHICAL THUGS SPREAD CRIME WAVE OVER ALL GERMANY By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922 BERLIN, May 13.—Germany is havin, a “philosophical crime wav It reached its climax Wed- nesday with the arrest of the mem- bers of the “league of philosophi- cal bandits.” This organization was composed of young students who were taking a course in phi- losophy which, they declared, con- vinced them that the present sys- tem of capitalism is all wrong. So they mapped out a campaign to rectify this system so far as they themselves were concerned. They started in by invading a furniture shop- and breaking everything to smithereens. Ac- cording to their plans they were going to_hold up the main post office in Schonenberg, near Berlin, and then a big jewelry shop in Stettin. The police caught the philosophical “vamps,” -however, and now they are waiting to find out how some philosophical judge will Iook at their case. Some days ago a number of students were caught parading up and down Friedrichstrasse pre- tending to be drunk and picking the pockets of passersby to whom they offered a drink out of & bot- tle of brandy.

Golden Text—God {s graclous and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return uato Him.—II Chroni- cle, 30.9. Mother’s day. calls for us to honor the one to whom wunder God we owe all that we are or can ever hope to be in this lifes There is monme that can surpass a mother in molding the char- acter of her child. Roosevelt claimed that “the mother is the one supreme asset of natfonal life; she is more im- portant by far than the most success- tul statebman, or business man, or ar- Yt or sclentist.” His position is con- ed by this week's lesson. Looking P in pur study today upon the life of Hezekiah, who won the distinction of being “the greatest hero of faith,” as well as the purest evangelical char- acter among the Jewish kings of the Old Testament, we are convinced that the formative {nfluence of this eminent religious reformer was largely that of his mother. This is probably why in the preceding chapter there follows sfter the record that “his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zecharizh,” the statement that “he did that which was right in the sight of rd.” y great man has had his char- acter molded by that of a great mother. Hezekiah was no exception. The de- vout daughter of Zechariah, the falth- ful prophet of King Uzzith's day, must have been filled with great sorrow at the apostacy of her husband, Ahaz, and the demoralization which followed his departure from the faith of Jehovah. She saw the corruption of private and public life gnawing deeper, until iniquity was,more firmy rooted and in- trenched in the customs, conscience and character of the people than at morality by their efforts to start a re- ligious reformation through their prophetic teachings, Abijah evidently devoted her attention to fitting her son for his life's work by instilling in his heart the fundamental principles of re- liglon. Like many, a broken-hearted | wife, who has been crushed with @ef at her husband's irreligious conduct, Ahulh sought solace in training Heze- 50 that he would lead his people blck to God. Next to mother the great- est influence in molding character and developing personality is the teacher. If Jewish tradition is correct, Isaiah was the tutor of the young prince. He would cd-operate with his mother, who probably had the prophet selected to teach her son, in training him in re- ligion as the foundation of statesman- ship and all vital problems. Hezekiah faced a difficult task when he assumed the kingship of Judah, A corrupt court, an empty treasu & poverty-stricken people, a shatte army and the boundary of his kingdors unprotected by proper fortifications, offered no encourage- ment to the young king. He was urged'by the Assyrian party to con- tinue the vassal relationship, estab- lished by his father with the great The Week Epitome of Events Up to May 13, 1922 FOREIGN.

He was besieged by the Egyptian interests to form an al- liance with Egypt. “People turn. to politics, economics, industry, educa- tion—the more apparent because the more immediate instruments of eu cess—and neglect, as did God's peo- ble of old, the deeper and more powe: ful Influence of sound spiritual life. Hezekiah surprised both parties by refusing to follow ihe advice of either one because he had learned that the secure foundation for the nation and society depended upon religion. The young king at the commencement of his reign started right by casting his lot with the small minority who placed their dependence upon the presence and power of Jehovah and stood for independence from all for- eign alliances, because of their ten- dency to corrupt the religious life of the people. ¢ Having aligned himself with the re- ligious reformers of his day, Heze- kiah commenced to carry out his ref- ormation plans by opening the tem- ple. One can.trace the spiritual in- fluence of his mother, as they see the king embark upon 'such a radical task, It is evident that he recognized the ‘outward dangers to which his kingdom was exposed, but he knew that the nation's trouble was rooted in ungodliness. Reverence for God lies at the basis of all that is trust- worthy in private character and of all that is enduring in public order. The king secured the assistance of the Levites in repairing the defects, ren- ovating the courts and the temple it- self, removing the dirt, which had ac- cumulated during sixteen years' idle- ness, preparatory to opening _the house of the Lord for worship. Ref- ormations under Asa and Jehosha- phat failed because of the insidious hostility of Athaliah, while Joash de- feated his own efforts by his personal apostacy. Hezekiah faced more diffi- cult conditions than his predecessors, but he conquered through his faith in what his name signified, “the strength of the Lord.” When the king, assisted by the Levites, had cleanged the temple, they celebrated the completion of the purification with a service of sacrifice, song and } - | spiritual worship that stirred the peo- ple to consecrate themselves with gifts of gratitude. Religion is contagious. They could not be satisfled with their blessings and forget those who ought to share in the worship of the temple with them. This caused Hezekiah to in- vite all the tribes to a great pass- {over, which would be the greatest held in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon. He sent special messen- gers to invite the people in Israel as well as Judah to a special pass- over to be held on the second month, according to the laws of Moses, which provided for its observance upon the second month when one was prevented from observing the great patriotic feast upon the first month. The period. after his assuming the kingship was so short that it was impossible for them to keep the feast, which marked the commencement of their national life, at the regular time, s0 the special spiritual service was appointed. Probably up to this time the pass- over had been kept privately in each household. Hezekiah revealed cour- age and initiative of a high order when he started his reformation and effort to win the people back to God with 2 popular feast that would in clude all the citizens of Judah and Israel. The people, who had been separated and divided in their alle giance to God, were the ones he sought to bring together at the feast. Every revival starts with just such an effort on behalf of those who love the Lord. The decay of religion perhaps may be the reason why no mention is made of the king's secur- ing the approval of the priests of his program. Possibly some legalistic critic may have raised the objection as to the time, although the law made cortain exceptions for holding it at the time specified. In extend- ing this Broad invitation to partici- Rate in a great passover the king was supported by the princes and popular assembly. It was sent out by special messengers to all parts of Palestine. Hezekiah's invitation, that reminded the people of God's compassion and called upon them to repent, received a varied reception. The decay of.re- ligion in fthe northern kingdom caused it to be rejected by the masses, who had turned to the wor- ship of other gods, but many a spir- ftual soul answered favorably thi request for the Hebrew nation to re to Jerusalem to worship with A great multitude responded, even when they knew that they were legally “disqualified from participat- ing. Their presence was full of peril, 8o that Hezekiah prayed for them. God answered his petition because He looked not on the outward ap- pearance, but on the heart of each individual worshiper. The ritual ob- servances were made for man, not man for the ritual. The emergency and need of men was a sufficient ex- cuse for violation of the rules. Jesus has taught us that the true wor- shiper is one who worships in spirit and in truth. God is a spirit, and He/] looks for a spiritual service from hose who would worship Him. othing is more fatal to religious devotion than a castiron insistence upon the conformity to some ex- ternal ceremony.” Tho plans of Hezekiah for a through religious reformation struck a popu- lar chord. The great congregation ex- tended the time for a week. They re- vealed their hearty approval of the king's program to win the natfon back to God by a popular movement, which sought to destroy, as the [Puri- tans did in later times, everything that in their judgment was antago- nistic to spiritual worship. They broke down the rude stone monu- ments that had been used In their de- votions to Jehovah. Every doiman, or single stone erected to God, and men hir (two or more stones with a fla top for sacrifice), no mgtter how sa- cred may have been {heir associa- tlons—they were all destroyed. The greatness of the Hebrews' faith is due to their corception of the Su- preme Being. Their religion has been f the unportrayable has been deflined stops with a partial eonc(sptlolk of God." The idol _ worshiper %s apt to be found reverencing what was once a symbol of some religious truth. He makes the symbol the end of faith, when it was Intended only as an in- strument that would help visualize the truth. It was because men ha come to worshlp the serpent Moses had lifted up in the wilderness, and not God, that they destroyed this anclent relic of their father's journey through the, wilderness. The geople’s delight in the revival of religious worship in the temple along the lines of David was proven not only by their entering wholeheartedly into the services, but by their generous gifts for the glory of Jehovah. Helekllh was the last King of Judah pass-over into eternity in peace. KTha secret of his success as a reform- er was due to the fact that he put his heart into his work. “In every Work tl\lt he began in the service of the ouse of God, asd in the law, and UNITARIAN. |1 in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his nurv., = prospered.” He sought first e the Lord exaited nim." Ths basis of his litework was the religion of Jehovah. There are reforms cry- ing for help. There are some that need to be commenced. God is call- ing us to help win the nations of the carth for Him. We can say to all that “God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you If ye return unto Him.” ——————— CLASS SOCIAL DATED. Program Arranged for Ninth Street Christian Church.
