ROTAR|ANS VISIT
 NEW POST0FF|CE
Club Turns Down Proposition to House Visitors to Semi
 Centennial

Members of the Rotary club yester- day inspected the handsome new postoffice and federal building fol- lowing their regular meeting in the ballroom of the Southern club. The tour was personally conducted by Postmaster R. B. Smyer, who was as s sted by a number of postoffice em- ployes. All departments were vis- ited and everything was explained to the visitors.
 Following the report of Val J. Nes- bitt of the public affairs committee the club decided not to undertake to obtain 5000 rooms for the visitors to the semi-centennial. It was pointed out that the Rotary club was not pre- pared to handle such an undertak : ing, and that it was the work of one of the civic organizations in Birmin6- ham rather than a luncheon club. Mir. Nesbitt stated in order Ito handle the affair it would be necessary for the club to have a paid organization to do the work. unless 50 Rotariaus would agree to do it.. A motion ws s then made that the club not under take this work John c. Henley stat ed that he thought the Rotary club should assist the semi centennial committee in some way and was not in favor of adopting the motion. However, following vote, the mo ton was adopted.
 James A. Simpson, member of the subcommittee of the Semi-Centenniai association requested every Rotar- ian to give him the name and ad- dress of any former Birmingham res ident in order that an invitation might be sent them to visit Birming- ham during the semi-centennial next month.
 The next meeting of the Rotary club will be held at the Alabama State Fair grounds Wednesday, ac- ccrding to decision reached yester- day The invitation of B, B. Burton was accepted and the club will visit the fair on that day.

Both of these men have been associate members for a number of years, and were pro noted to active members. Foster r. Johnson was introduced by John Flenner The fellowship committee was instructed to prepare q resolu- ton on the death of Ben C. Morgan, Jr., son of a new member of the club.

EX-SERV|CE MEN GET EMPLOYMENT
 WIDE PUBLICITY
American Legion Post Here and Junior Chamber of Commerce Active In
 Campaign Locally

Employment propaganda issued during the spring an dearly summer months by the employment depart ment of the American Legion under the leadership of Maj. J. T. McEwen, chairman of the employment com mittee, has resulted in a falling off of the demands for work by ex- Service men of this vicinity, say of ficials of the organization.
 The majority of the ex-service men have found employment either di- rectly through the efforts of the department or indirectly through the propaganda sent out to all firms both through the American Legion and the Junior Chamber of Com merce.
 As examples of the work done by the American Legion in this connec- tion approximately 50 men were em- ployed by the Dixie Construction company in the work for the Alabama Power company at Verbena. Walters, short order cooks and restaurant men have been given work as' well as clerks of all sorts, stenographers. laborers. skilled laborers and me- chanics. There are constant de- mands at the Legion headquarters for men by employers of the city and of the surrounding country Among other demands for men in the past few days is a call from d local firm for 10 structural iron workers
 The local post is also cooperating with H. F. Oliver of the federal mu- nicipal employment bureau in the city hall. Through this medium ap- proximately 20 men have obtained work from Nthe Legion since last year.
 Birmingham Post No. of the American Legion was one of the first posts to establish an employment bureau in the effort to gain work for the veterans out of work.
 Although the, figures available in the employment of ex-service men in Birmingham seem absurdly small for all the hue and cry raised during the summer about the men being out of work, yet there are many men who have obtained work largely through the great amount of publicity issued by the Legion and the Junior Cham Der of Commerce" said Major Me Ewen. Many men have been em- ployed directly by the firms who have never come to us for work, but have gone directly to the employer who has promised his support Rec ords of these men are not available. but large number have been re- ported"

PROPERTY TAX DUE
 OCT. 1---COLLECTOR IS MAILING NOTICES
Tax Collector Hawkins States That Every Tax Receipt In County Is Made Out, and
 Urges Early Payment

Taxes on real and personal prop erty becomes due october i and is delinquent January 1, 1922.
 Post cards notifying all tax payers of the amount of taxes due will bo mailed to every property owner in the county tomorrow according to James F. Hawkins, county tax col lector The entire office force of Mir. Hawkins has been at work for the past few weeks preparing these cards and making out the tax re- ceipts and when the offices open Sat urday the tax books will be ready for use and the force will be on hand to serve the public.
 "TaX receipts for every tax payer in Jefferson county have been made out and are now in the files said Mir. Hawkins. "We have also made out a post card notice for every tax payer which will be mailed out Fri day, September 30. This will enable any tax payer who so desires to mall in his or her taxes without having to make a trip to the office.
 We want to impress on the tax payer the importance of keeping these post card notices and attach ing them to their remittance. 1t enables Us to handle the business of the office much faster and also keeps down any chance for making a mis- take.
 Under the law we are not required to send out any notice until after January 1, but in order to let the tax payers know just what they are expected to pay, We have put in more than a months work geeting these cards filled in and ready for the mails. This is not to be considered as a dun but simply statement showing the amount due.
 The county has spent about $500 for postage alone on these cards and we hope the tax payer will appre- ciate this and keep these notices until such time as they are ready to make their payment, While this tax becomes due, october l. there is no additional cost until January l. All taxes should be paid and assessed during the months of October, No vember and December in order to avoid the additional cost"

Adequate parking space for auto mobiles in the downtown district has become serious problem, but relief IS in sight. according to Mir l.. R. Dean. who has leased the va cant property between Avenue A and the railroads west of Eighteenth street for the purpose of establish ing a parking place.
