T am certainly glad to Dee many of the merchants having the lights of the White Way relighted' said Howard Williams. flor I think it adds greatly to the appearance of the city It also adds to the appearance of the stores as well. and the cost is so small when compared to the benefit to the city that can't see how any merchant or business man could refuse to assist in. lighting the White Way once moro.
 When I first camo to Birmingham. few months ago. couldn't under. stand why the White Way lights were dark at night and immediately wrote to the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company regarding the matter I agreed to keep those in front of our store burning and notice that num- Der of other merchants are doing the same thing

TELLS HOW TO FIGURE TAX

Husbands and wives having sepa-
rate incomes are informed of the
manner of figuring their income for
the year by ruling just issued by
Internal Revenue Commissioner Ro-
per. as follows:
I'm figuring UP their income this
year. a husband and wife who have
income from separate sources may
each apply the lower rate. namely
s per cent. 10 the first $4,000 of in
come subject to normal tax. The
higher rate of IL per cent applies
TO the balance, in each case.
The net income of husband and
wife have always been considered
separately when figuring the surtax.
Under the new revenue law. the nor
NAL tax rates. as well as the sur
tax rates, are applicable separately
TO the net income Of each individual.
The tax assessable on husband
and wife, in cases where either re-
ceived Il large income In 1918. is af-
fected by the manner in which the
personal exemption is claimed. Either
may claim the exemption. or they
may divide Ii between them in any
| manner they may choose: but Jointly
they may not claim more than the
! amount allowable in their particular
case"
