Bad beginning makes good end
Ing" says the old proverb I quot
ed this to myself earnestly, but it
didn't do much to cheer the birth
day which had begun so badly.
In addition to the pain of having
Jim ignore my day" there was the
other pain of having him fail to
tell me his plans. That suggested
that he hadn't been willing to risk
having me know lest / make a
scene. Then there was the disap-
pointment in Uncle Ned. He had
simply ignored-without even the
grace to say he was sorry-my lit

cheap-yeS, cheap.
Then 1 remembered that Neal and
Phoebe had asked us to have dinner
with them in the evening. I could
not bear the thought of being the
fifth wheel on the wagon the goose
berry, at my own birthday celebra-
ton. Besides, my pride couldn't
contemplate any more remarks from
Phoebe on the subject o. how Neal
would never desert her for business.
If those two youngsters had pitied
me for being alone the evening be-
fore, how they'd despise me when
they found me deserted on my
birthday!
You have little pride of your
own, Barbara Anna, to match the
famous Harrison variety" I told
myself curtly.
Then I swept to the telephone to
call Neal, Perhaps if I'd waited
until I'd had a bit of breakfast
would have come under the sway
of second sober thoughts and would
not have proceeded to perform that
silly operation known as cutting off
ones nose to spite ones face. But

FAILS TO KEEP PROMISES
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: a...

am on friendly terms with a.
young man who is my senior by
quite a number of years. Please
do not misunderstood me, l am
not in love with this young man,
nor do l believe he is in love with
me. We are just good friends.
He has always treated me with
admirable courtesy and considera-
ton. There is but one thing that
mars our friendship. He has a ten
dency to break promises Do you
think I should talk this over with
him and come to some sort of an
understanding? 1 value his friend
SHY very much indeed.
]. P. C.
think you are a little too con-
siderate of this friend who breaks
promises. In your case, l believe
should be tempted to retaliate in
kind. but as you are too consider
ate to do this, why not talk with
him fully and frankly, and let him
know how you feel about it.

CIVIC COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE
 STATE INCOME TAX

A special meeting of the board cf directors of the Civic association was held yesterday at 12:30 in the directors room of the Civic association for tho purpose of discussing the proposed state income tax. The only immediate step taken was that authorizing Judge William E. Fort, president, to appoint committee of five members to go to Montgomery and confer with Governor Kilby as to the advisability of the pro- posed income tax, and to find out what provisions are to be included in the olll as to the methods of assessmefl
 During the course of the meeting reference was made by Secretary Man ager c. L. Harold to the apparently successful income tax imposed by the state of Wisconsin, which is attributed to the civil service method of employ ing tax assessors STe pointed out the fact that under the Wisconsin law, 10 per cent of the income tax welt to the state, 70 per cent to the city or municipality and 20 per cent to the county. He claimed that it was all express substitute for the intangible personal property tax, and, in paying the income tax, the citizen receives credit for as much as the ad valorein tax which was paid upon tangible personal property
 The larger committee will further pursue the study of all taxes and other suoJects of general interest that are before the association at the present time.

WARRIOR RIVER
 SURVEY BEGINS
Two Parties of Engineers to Complete
 Work in Five Months

United States engineers are now making survey of the Warrior river above the present head of navigation for the purpose of locating the new dam to be built in the upper reaches of the river.
 The survey was not to be begun until July l, but already engineers are in the field and later on two companies with about 40 men will be on the job.
 Two parties to complete the survey are being organized at Tuscaloosa by MT. Wittemore. the assistant engineer, and about 40 men will be included in the party.
 From Tuscaloosa, the two parties will leave for the head of the stream. and will work in two sections, one on the Sipsey fork and the other on the Mulberry fork.
 About five months will be taken to complete the survey, 1t was announced and about four additional months to locate the sites for additional dams and locks
 The entire survey is under the super vision of J. B. Battle, assistant en- gineer of the river work of the Mobile engineers office. and assistant to Col R. s. Thomas, who has charge of the Mobile office of the United States en- gineers
