ASKS
 FOR HASTY PEACE Kiwanis Luncheon Featured bv Statesman and Foot
 light Stars

Senator Oscar W. Underwood address ing the members Of the Kiwanis club yesterday at their regular weekly lunch con, made a plea for speedy, perma- nent peace His address was informal, but the burden of his message was for the nasty return of American boys and the proper adjustment of business con- ditions at tke earliest moment
 "The longer we wait,' said Senator Underwood "the longer the issues are argued and threshed out, the more en- tangled they may get, and it is possible that we may not get the terms that We should have. The situation resolves It. self into three big policemen, and they are France, England and the United States. The situation is analogous to two by four across a stream. If the scantling is 10 feet long and stretched across a stream two feet wide it will bear the maximum weight. but if 1t IS stretched acros stream six feet wl1e then it's capacity to withstand weight IS lessened Hence we should hasten the signing of peace treaty that will end war forever, and make it possible Tor us to do police duty only at home.'
 Miss Betty Bye, leading woman in "Oh Lady, Lady!" at the Jefferson, theatre, and Miss Prudence Neff, plan ist, headline attraction at Loew's BiJou theater were delightful features of the programme, each receiving vociferous ap- plause at the hands of the large number of Kiwanians in attendance.
 Erswald Ewing, of Nashville, governor of Kiwanis in Tennessee. was present and made a short talk President Barnett called upon Dr. John McNeill' Presbyterian minister, who has been preaching in Birmingham at the f1rse Methodist church for the past week, and the Scotch divine was decided hit with the membership. Dr. Bomar, pres ident of Judson college, also spoke briefly when called upon.
 As a finale to the splendid programme Tite BisselIs, songbirds gathered around the piano and sang the kiwanis hymn in a most acceptable manner.

LUXURY TAX TOO
 TOUGH FOR THOSE
 WHO ADMINISTER
Merchants Stump Treasury Officials by Asking Inter- pretation-Adjourn in
 Doubt

When the government officials are unable to determine whether the ex- else or the luxury tax applies to cer- tain articles under the new federal in- come tax, and whether the merchant or the customer shall pay the tax, it is not likely that the merchants them- selves can solve the riddle.
 At least that was the sentiment of the members of the Birmingham Re- tail Merchants association at theic called meeting in the Chamber of Con- merce yesterday afternoon.
 President Ira l.. Armstrong, in call ing the meeting to order, stated that he had called it for the purpose of studying the income tax and if possible hitting upon some uniform scheme for following its provisions.
 Ed Irwin read the sections covering the excise tax and the luxury tax, eX- blaming that he had requested treas ury officials to clear up certain ann biguous points. They told him they could not do it, he said. and the mem- bers, agreeing that if the government officials charged with the enforce ment of the law cannot understand 1t, it is useless for the merchants to try to solve it.
 The treasury department has been asked to advise the merchants whether the merchants themselves could pay the tax or if they must col lect it from customers. MT. Irwin stat ed. The treasury officials replied that they could not give the information re- quested, but hoped to do so at later date
 The government will furnish blank forms upon which to make reports of the excise and luxury tax collections and pending the receipt of these the association adjourned subject to call of the president.

'Thnk we'll get it." say members of the Birmingham Automobile club in reference to the branch factory of tho Ford Automobile company which is soon to be located somewhere in the south.
 Nothing is being left undone by the Automobile club to induce the famous "flivver" producers to locate in Bir- mingham. The officials of the club are busy showing the Ford company why Birmingham is the logical and best city in which to locate the new plant.
 The following telegram was sent the Ford people Tuesday morning:

"We should not content ourselves with receiving and entertaining our glorious boys when they come to Blr- mingham," he said, but we should have not less than 800 men from all parts of the state on hand when they land in this country. The boys of the old Fourth covered themselves with glory and reflected credit upon their state by their distinguished service in France and we should go the limit in showing our appreciation.
 These brave boys made the name of Alabama known where it had never been heard before. Alabama Is fam ous all over the world today because Of the wonderful record these boys made in the fierce fighting last sum- mer and fall. and we would not be doing our full duty unless we have a big committee, representative of the people of Alabama at the disembarka-

 URGES PATIENCE
Says Bonus Will Be Forwarded With
 out Follow Letters

Lieutenant Colonel Bum of the local army recruiting station received let ter yesterday from the adjutant' gen eral, in which he stated all bonus checks would be handled in the order in which they were received. All officers and enlisted men who have sent in their discharges or copies thereof are requested to be patient, as much time will be required to handle this matter on account of the large number of claims to be paid. They are urged not to write any follow-up letters, as they cannot hasten the payment, but will simply take up the time or the clerks which might otherwise be used in wrIts ing checks.
