SWIMMING POOL
 FOR BOYS SCHOOL
Improvements Planned for Boys Industrial School
 at East Lake

Great things are transpiring at the Boys Industrial school at East Lake A swimming pool has been ordered, and measurements were taken for 1t yesterday. A thoroughly equipped machine shop is to be installed short- ly, in fact. no little of the machinery has been ordered.
 But, next to the swimming pool, the youngsters at the institution are more interested in the new dorml- tory than In anything else.
 Its this way" said Cleon B. Rogers, who directs Alabama's elee- monsynary institutions, after an in- spection of the school, these boys are being equipped for life, for citi- zenship and to help other youngsters to avoid making mistakes, and the best way to help equip them is the old formula of a sound mind in q sound body and that requires sound surroundings, for environment has so very much to do with the develop ment of boy.
 We believe that with big swim ming pool in which the youngsters can exercise every muscle in their bodies, mighty good results can be obtained. The state is spending some thing over $3o,000 as starter just now on the development of the school"
 Mechanical equipment for the ma chine shop will be something over s20,000 just now, but other features are to be added that will take ad- ditional funds.

APPROVES TAFT
Daugherty Pleased at Appointment
 of Former President
By Associated Press

Baltimore, July 2.-Attorney Gen. eral Daugherty, who has been in Baltimore for the last few days, ex- pressed his appreciation tonight of the appointment of former President William H. Naft as chief justice Of |appoiptment had received more unl- versal commendation than any ap- pointment ever made by President.
 Probably no appointment ever made by the President" Mir Daugher.y said, has received the universal commendation that appointment Of Former President Taft as chief justice has received. Many telegrams aud letters have been received by the President, and by the department Of justice since the death of Chief Jus cent of them have been favorable to the appointment of MT. Taft as chef justice.
 His recognized attainment as a profound lawer is appreciated by the leading lawyers everywhere. I have seen or heard no. criticism except that which is traceable to other req sons than those reflecting upon his ability, integrity and qualification as a great jurist. In fact, there was less opposition to Former President Tafts appointment than I would imagine there would be to the appointment of any man in the United States to any of the-higher offices.

 TRIP OF STEAMER
Is Bringing 720-Ton Cargo Up River to Birmingham, 200 Tons More Than on
 Last Journey

Business in coal down the river will be better from now on," said Transportation Manager H. T. DeBar- delben. Tt fell off during the ma- rine strike, but IS under way again"
 MT. DeBardelben says the freighter Tuscaloosa left New Orleans yester- day with the rocord up-river miscel- laneous freight cargo, matter of 720 tons. The goods are for Alabama, Mississippi. Georgia and Tennessee points.
 The largest up-river cargo from New Orleans heretofore was about GOO tons. The movements from New Orleans will be larger as the season grows, wholesalers having begun to order extensively following the de- pletion of their stocks. The move ments from Mobile will also pick up incident to the growing business with the Pacific coast.
 The new freighter, Mobile, will be on the river some time this month. Her try-out Is scheduled for the 10th. If that takes place on time and is successful the boat should at once come down the river and enter the freight business between Birming ham and the gulf, ports
 Mr. DeBardeleben also announces the letting of the contracts for the port Improvements at Tuscaloosa. Port of Birmingham and Demopolis. The various contracts have been sign ed and order to put through has been given. Tuscaloosa is to have a re- arrangement of tracks and the like. Demopolis is to have steel derrickq and Port of Birmingham is to have an additional steel derrick with clam shell bucket equipment. These im- provements will have cost s80,000.
 A carload of goods coming from the east via the Mallory line is now en route up the river for Birming- ham merchants. Other Mallory line vessels are bringing additional car goes. This business seems to have already developed into a regular and important one.

TAXPAYERS URGED. ID MAKE RETURNS.
Collector M'NeeI Makes Statement in Reference to
 Stock Companies

John D. McNeal, collector of inter- nal revenue, has isued statement, in reference to the tax returns of corporations. joint stock and insur- ance companies. under provisions of the United States revenue act.
 The statement follows:
 I desire to call to the attention of the taxpayers of this district that the provisions of the revenue act Of 1918 require all corporations. asso- citations. joint-stock companies, whether created by statate or by con. tract and insurance companies, whether or not organized for profit or having a capital stock represent ed by shares to file during the month of July Capital Stock returns. Form TOT.
 Every corporation must file re- turn, Form TOT, whether taxable or taxable. Companies claiming exemption as mot engaged in busi- ness," or as holding corporations" inactive" simply holding undevel- leased" personal service" and non
 
 turn and attach a letter, preferably an affidavit, setting forth clearly the reason they should not be subject to tax. Banks and insurance companies, however. are permitted to attach their annual published statements in lieu of filling out Exhibit A. Exhib its B and c must be completed.
 Since all capital stock returns are audited in the office of the commis- sioner of internal revenue, it is ab- solutely essential that each corpora ton complete Exhibits A, and c, of Form 7O7 in full; otherwise, the companies will be called upon through correspondence by the commissioner of internal revenue to supply this in- formation which will be a source Of great annoyance both to the taxpayer and the government.
 Both parent and subsidiary corpo- rations must file separate returns, Form TOT. Consolidated returns for parent and subsidiary are not permit ted under the capital stock law.
 Capital stock tax is an excise tax, payable in advance, for the privilege of doing business based at the rate of one dollar ($1.00) on each full one thousand dollars ($1.ooo) of the fair value of capital stock. Checks can only be drawn in favor of John D. McNeel. collector. for the full one dollar. No fractional part of dollar should be submitted.
 Every corporation can secure the necessary forms by wrning this office.
 Failure to file. capital stock re- turn during the month of July sub. jects taxpayers to a twenty-five per cent (25) penalty. Let me urge all corporations officials to attending to the filing of their capital stock re- turns at once.

GIVE ASSISTANCE
 ONLY ID FAMILIES
 WITHOUT SUPPORT
Needless for People to Apply Who Have Means of Secur- ing Food, Says City
 Welfare Director

It is useless for families which for relief. according to a statement issued last night by Dr. w. s. Brown head of the city welfare department. Dr. Brown stated that while his de. partInent showed every consideration and assistance to people who were in real need, where the investiga- ton showed they had means of support. 1t was a waste of their time and that of the investigators for them to apply for help.
 During the past week, our de- partment has handled over 500 eases." said Dr. Brown. We have made a careful investigation of these cases and our decision in each one has been based upon absolutely &C., curate information. We are con serving the money placed in our hands and are taking precautions to see that it Is not wasted. However. show the utmost consideration of all worthy appeals and try to assist the needy in getting jobs or arranging their affairs so that they will not require assistance long.i
 "Unfortunately, we find that many negroes are trying to take advan- tage of the department, but we weed them out and send them on their way empty handed. Of course l do not mean that all negroes are not worthy. Many of them are in dire need and are pleading only for work. These we care for with the same re- gard shown white people in need.
 When a man says his family is in need, we give him enough food to last until we are able to investigate. We will not let any man see his Wife and children suffer, even though this means that sometimes we are inn posed on for one days rations While we are getting our report In.
