Features of the Days Dealings in All
the LEADING Stocks

New York, April S.--The stock mar
ket was extremely lethargic and mod
erately heavy today. These conditions
were directly attributable to higher
money rates and increasing 'apprehen-
sion in connection with the British
industrial situation.
Dealings were lighter and more con-
tracted in scope than at any session
IN the last fortnight Total transact
uohs of $4,000 shares consisted
largely of the usual speculative issues
al fecessions of one to three points.
Steels, equipments, motors; and low
priced rails together with inactive
Speclalties were most often under
pressure. High grade rails and rep
rescntallve oils were relatively firm
uhlli the final hour. when the entire
!ISt registered lowest prices.
Call loans opened and renewed into
next week at 6 per cent, but before
midday the paucity of offerings forced
me rate to G. per cent. and before the
Slose / per cent. rate ruled. Other
i9rms of accommodation remained I'M
changed, although slight concessions
were reported for short time loans on

And I may say here that despite her defeat in America l believe she is the greatest living woman golfer.
 A Splendid Champion
 Miss Rollins is splendid cham pion and makes warm friendships wherever she plays. In the west and middle west she is regarded as one of the few eastern women who mixes well enough to be very popu- lar. Modesty is also one of the att tributes of Miss Rollins and so it was with difficulty that l learned from her that she planned to make a particularly serious effort to win the womens national this year---a feat which she has since accom- plished. There was something more than personal glory that prompted her to make this remark, for she added with patriotic feeling that Every American lady golfer should do her utmost to keep the cham pionship cup on this side of the water" At that time golfing opin- ion picked Miss Cecil Leitch as the very probable winner
 About Miss Leitch
 Speaking of Miss Leitch, Marion said: T drive as far as she does, play as long an iron do nearly as we'll on the approach and usually putt as well as Miss Leitch." This description of Miss Rollins playing. by herself, de- scribes the quality of her golf as well as 1t can be done. Miss Rollins

Bessemer EIeuen Plays Tuscaloosa
 on Their Grounds

The Bessomer Tigers are running Into another tough assignment this week, for on Friday they journey down to Tuscaloosa. where they will meet the Tuscaloosa High school team. The Tigers have machine made up of comparatively green men this year, but during the time that has elapsed since football practice first started at Bessemer Red Ha-- rjs has taken his bunch of inexpe- rienced men and, with two or three veterans for q nucleus around which to build a team. he has developed a. nifty outfit. The Tigers rolled up heavy scores in the first games they played this year. and many thought that they were only having some re- markable luck. but thoy proved that they have a real football team last Friday. when they beat the Ensley aggregation. Ensley played great game and fought to the last minute of play. When Bessemer registered victory over this bunch of fight ing gridders they proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that they have a real team this year
 Though they have great team this year, the Tigers are not going to have anything that resembles an easy game Friday, for the Tuscaloosa team has proven itself to be one of the fastest teams in the state, and they should give tho Tigers a fight almost as hard as the Ensley strug- gle.
 Bessemer's backfield will probably be made up of Waller at quarter, Bush and Smithson halves, and Dem his full. with Bainbridge on hand to go in whenever any of the others find out that they are unable to go through the Tuscaloosa line. This backfield does not contain any star in the class with Baty or Hawkins, but they are all good men and work ing together.
 The Tiger line has been showing worlds of stuff right along this year. Fishbach, who plays center, and Johnson and Kirkpatrick, at guard and end. are the three men upon whom Bessemer is relying to stop Tuscaloosa.
 The Tuscaloosa boys have only made one appearance here this sea- son. and. as it is rather hard to get a line on who's who in one game, it is not very safe to say whom the Tigers will have the most trouble with. However, judging from his performance last year, it Is safe to say that Bessemer will have a big days work to stop Wright. the plung- ing fullback of the Tuscaloosa out fit Another man who is sure to make himself fully acquainted with the Tigers is Upchurch, the wingman for the Tuscaloosa boys.
 With the team that they have and the shape that they are in, tho Besse- mer boys stand swell chance Of beating Tuscaloosa, but they are cer- tainly going to have some work to do.

EXCESS PROFITS
 TAX REPEAL JAN. 1
 IS MADE CERTAIN
Provision Adopted By Senate Provides Only for Collec- ton During the Present
 Calendar Year
By Associated Press

washington, October 26.-Repeal of
 the excess profits tax on next
 January was made certain today
 with the adoption by the Senate
 without record vote of a provision
 in the tax revision bill providing
 only for its collection this calendar
 year. The provision adopted Is q
 substitute for the excess profits sec
 ton of the existing law.
 Before accepting the original pro-
 vision In the bill, the Senate voted
 down, 42 to 31, an amendment by
 Senator Reed proposing that for 1921
 and thereafter the excess profits tax
 be 20 per cent on the net income of
 corporations on between 15 per cent
 and 50 per cent of the invested capf-
 tai and 40 per cent on the net income in excess of 50 per cent. Six repubii- cans voted with the, solid democratic minority In supporting this amend ment. They were Borah. Johnson Kenyon, Lafollette, Norbeck and Nor ris.
 The Senate also voted down. AZ te 33, another amendment by Senator Reed proposing that the excess profits tax be 20 per cent of the net income in excess of 50 per cent of the invested capital. Eight republicans Borah. Capper, Johnson, Kenyon, La toilette, McNary. Norbeck and Norris supported this amendment and one democrat, Glass, opposed 1t. Having disposed of the excess l profits section of the bill, the Sem
 .t Ia of th a
 corporation income tax section un-
 der a unanimous consent agreement
 that 1t would dispose of all amend
 ments on the calendar except that
 offered by Senator Walsh. Massa-
 chusetts.
 The Walsh amendment proposes Tn
 lieu of the Is per cent tax on cor
 porations recommended by the fin ance committee a graduated tax as
 follows:
 Twelve and one-half per cent oi the net income up to $100, ,000; Is per cent between s100,0oo and ..sS00.o00 and 25 per cent on the amount in excess thereof.'
 A committee amendment limiting after next January 1, the $2.0O0 ex- emption now allowed corporations having net incomes of $25.000 or lest was adopted without objection or [ record vote.
 As result of the unanimous con sent agreement. the republicans bel, in abeyance their plan to force a con
 tinuous session and the senate ad journed at 5:3O D. m unNI II a. m tomorrow. Majority leaders said l however. that they had not aband oned this plan and that the question of putting it into execution woui6
 depend upon developments from da, to day.
 Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania n charge of the bill. reiterated hil prediction that the measure would be passed by the end of the week. Ht l declared that the backbone of care
 less and frivolous discussion has beer broken"
 "A republican majority" he add ed, stands ready to hold the Sen ate in continuous sessicn. if neces- sary to compel the bilis speedy pass age. The minority has seen the l handwriting on the wall and real izes that further delay cannot stoi !. the. bilrs passage at an early date"

two roses, while J. r. got three. J. r. laid 1t to his good looks that he got the most.
 The boys immediately put the roses in their pockets as eternal treasures. Where else? Isn't that where a boy puts everything2
 Asked why they didn't pin the roses on, the Scouts were grave.
 "A bouquet pinned on when a Scout is on duty" they exclaimed. Besides some rough neck might have snatched 'en. We weren't taking any chances"
 The President and his wife must have shaken hands with as many as 30 or 40 Scouts around their carriage. The whole street was lined with them. The President gravely sa- luted the bunch. ft
 All over the city, the Scouts saw that the chief executives way was made easy. even at the expense of ways is everybody as kind to Scouts as they should be.
 At the hotel the Scouts held the lines for the executives comings and goings; They did the same thing at Capitol park, where Chief Execu tive W. H Wester and Deputy Com missioner George I. Mcdonald, As- sistant Scoutmaster Carl Franklin, and many others, were on duty with the boys. It was a hard day for Scouts throughout the city--every- where,-so far as work was con- cerned, but not one time was there the sign of 8 frown on any Scouts face.
 Don't know what we'd do without the kids said City Detective Tom Cartwright. We love 'em--that's all. We couldn't run old Birming ham without them now. Honestly don't know how we got along be- fore they were organized"

one of which should prove a featu,
 The broad statement that this carnival will prove one of the big gest boxing events Birmingham has ever had, covers every day and every week for tho 50 years since Birming- ham came Into being. This week Is the Magic City's birthday, and for the occasion the American Legion. an organization of fighting men. has arranged a super-fight card for local boxing fans.
 Much Interest
 That the carnival tomorrow after noon will prove one of the biggest boxing events Birmingham has ever had is proven by the amount of in- terest shown in the affair. Tickets for the fight entertainment were placed on sale about three weeks ago, and advance sale of seats has been entirely up to expectations. of flcials in charge of the affair assert. They add that they expect an even larger sale of seats at the gate Fri day afternoon, and that a record crowd for an event of this kind is expected to attend the bouts tomor- row afternoon.
 The American Legion, which Is backing this carnival, expects to do- nate all the proceeds to its new club mouse fund. A drive Is on to raise sio0.0o0 for a new clubhouse. and a comfortable nest egg around which to collect the remainder of this quota fes> Aaka Al f~ t. 4 k<x. ,.ff ernoon.
 Boys' Club to Benefit
 When the legion gets it's new club house, the Boys club, one of the most worthy and needy organizations in the city. will be taken in. and a special department provided for the boys. These plans of the American Legion for the disposition of the pro- ceeds tomorrow afternoon seem enough to make the affair worth while by themselycs.
 Several headline boxers have been secured for the card tomorrow aft- ernoon. Tn the main bout Martin Burke will meet Joe White. Burke is a New Orleans heavyweight, while White Is Tan Alabama boy, hailinS from Tuscaloosa.
 \. Both White and Burke have won the majority or thelr recent poutS- White has gathered together quite a knock -out record during his last nine fights, stopping every one of his opponents Burke, who has been fighting only top-notchers, has not won all of his scraps, but has done very well, considering the class of the opponents he has met. Chuck wiggins. Bob Martin. Lee Foley and other top-notchers are on the list of Burke's opponents. Burke Fought Here Martin Burke fought here once before, knocking out New York heavyweight, one Paddy Sullivan. Joe White has never fought in Birming- ham before, and local fans are anx- ious to see him in action.
 The White-Burk bout is sched- uled for 10 rounds. If Joe White can make a good showing against the New Orleans boxer he will become one of Dixie's real leaders in the boxing game. for Martin is cock of the wall over about>everythinE be- low the Mason and Dixon line.
