OF LOCAL FABRICAT|NG
 PLANT IS PLANNED
Birmingham Steel Corpora tiOn Offered Contract to Build British Ships.
 Make Inspection

Plans for the enlargement of the fabri- eating plant of the Birmingham Steel Corporation at Eighth avenue and Thirty ninth stfeet are being worked out and definite announcement as to these may be expected at an early date.
 President II. Leon Britain of the cor poration was in Birmingham yesterday and spent the day going over the plant and discussing business matters with the local management.
 Accompanying Mir. Britain were George N. baxter, general superintendent of the Terry Shipoulding Company at Savannah, cI which Mir. britain IS also president, and several officials of the United States shipping board, who made an inspection of the plant.
 1t is stated that MT. Britain has been offered the contract for building twenty steel ships for British interests and that the only thing that stands in the way of his acceptance of the order is the un- certainty of obtaining a sufficient supply of steel While he was here yesterday Mir. Britain called on President George Cor don Crawford of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company relative to securing steel from that company's mill at Fairfield.
 The faoricating plant of the BirmnS- ham Steel Corporation was built during the summer and falls of 1918 and began operations early in 1919, since when It has been fabricatng shapes and sizes for the Mobile Shipbuilding Company, Brit tain interest at Mobile. At the time lie announced the location of the plant here Mr. Britain stated that the original in- vestment of approximately $1,000000 would eventually be increased to between $lo,- OO0,0o0 and $20,0OO,000
 The Mobile Shipbuilding Company, which began operations a year or more ago. has completed three or four ships which are TOW in service, and they are said to be among the finest ever built in this country.
 MT. Britain left yesterday afternoon for New York, but will probably be back here in week or ten days, when further announcements with respect to develop ments at the local plant may be expected.
 In the party with Mir. Britain were D. H. Hoefling, master inspector of the United States shipping board; J. A. Len nox. engineer of the shpyard division; J. c. Hinrichson, auditing division; C. O.. Fowler, cancellation division; H. NJ. Me Carthy, material checker, and R. c. Brown, chief accountant, and w. c. Rob- inson of the Mobile Shipbuilding Com pany.

YEARLY INCOMES
 MUST BE SPECIFIC
GuesswOrk and Estimates Are Barred In Income
 Tax Returns

The rush of taxpayers to file their in- morning and all day long there was q steady line coming into the court room and awaiting their turn to be assisted by the deputy collectors. Only three weeks remain in which to file income tax returns. as they become delinquent on March b.
 Women who had incomes during 1913 are reminded by John D. McNeel, col- lector on internal revenue, that they are subject to all of the provisions of the federal income tax Many thousands of women file returns and pay taxes regu- larly. and there are new names added to this list each year.
 A public school teacher or other city, town, county and state employe, is not taxed 9l her salary or wages, but must file return if her taxable income from ether sources was sufficient in amount to come within the laws definitions, ac- cording to Mir. McNeel.
 "One of tie important points to keep in mind, he said, lis that a person s net income is found by computation prescribed in the law, and that each item of income from every source must be considered unless specifically eX- empted
 "GuessWork, estimates and other hit-or- miss tactics are barred when a person is making out his income tax return Ac- curacy and completeness must be insisted upon, and 1t must be remembered the re- turn is a sworn statement.
 'Salaried persons and wage earners must not ccnfine their returns to figures showing a years pay at so much a day or week, tut must show the actual amount drawn during the year.
 We have number of deputy collec- tors here to assist taxpayers in filing their returns and we are anxious 10 have as many do so as early as possible as the longer they wait the larger the crowd and more congestion 1here is,,

Retrenchment was the main matter un- der discussion at the special meeting of the board of city commissioners yester- day afternoon. Several departments found they had been accomplishing lot of good work, but because of the high cost of the necessities used, they had put something of hole in their budget appropriation for the year.
 It was the end of the first fiscal sec tion and as is customary at these meet ings full financial reports were consid- cred by the board concerning each de- pal tment.
 Every item in the reports was shown to he for a necessity. but the unusual costs that are preve ,ant these days had run the figures higher than the departments had hoped would be the case.

DON'T NEGLECT THE LITTLE ONES

A snuffling. sneezing, coughing child certainly is a reflection upon the pa- rents. To permit child to suffer from a cold Is more than negligence; 1t is cruel. A cold that hangs on weakens the system and can easily turn into something serious. Mrs. J. $. Pitson, 376 E. 15sth St.. Cleveland. Ohio, writes: T can't speak too highly of Foley's Honey and Tar.

ranked second to Cagnon. Milner, of
the Navy, and Conion, of Harvard, are

Mathag, of Lehigh Haincs, of Penn
State, and Faherty. of Yale, must be
ranked as the three leading outlielders,
and Of these Mathag is undoubtedly
the best. He has all the requirem ents
for star player. He is q fine fielder
and covers wide range of territory.
Moreover, he is a fast base runner and
a powerful hitter.

played his accurate throwing arm to
good advantage on many occasions.
His batting average for the year was
about 1926.
