 Incidentally the employees of the A. B. & A. will not fail to remem- Der the millionaire crew whenever the Birmingham baseball club is playing the game"

We are hiring some. men straight along" he said No trains operated today. how ever. and we are making no promises. When we have the crews, they will be run.

ASKEXTENSIONO OF
 INCOME TAX TIME
Institutions Say Papers and Business So Complicated
 Work Just Can't Be Done

Many telegrams to the United States treasury departments have been re- ceived through the local offices of the Western Union and the Postal Tele- graph companies during the past few days from officials of business houses and industries in Birmingham asking that the time for the filing of income tax returns be extended.
 The reason for the request is that the heads of the business houses have not had the time, they say, to collect the data up to date. March Is is the last day in which the income tax returns may be filed. Any person or business concern who fails to file their returns by that date will be subject to federal prosecution
 The local offices of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph com- panes have also handled many tele- grams during the past few days from clubs and civic organizations in other cities in the state and from several points in the south asking about what action the Junior Chamber of Com merce of Birmingham has taken to- ward bringing prices down in restau- rants here by organizing carry your own lunch club"

FINE PROGRESS IN
 RECRUITING NE W
 TROOP OF CAVALRY
Emphasis Placed on Support Given Organization By BuSi- ness Men of the Entire
 Community

Erskine Ramsay was host at a din- ner last night given at the Tutwiler to the new divisional cavalry troop which is being organized in Birming- ham. There were in addition several civilian guests. including a number Of the sponsors of the troop.
 Adjt Gen. H. A. Moon was again present, and. explained to tho new members the provision which the gov ernment is now making for the guardsmen, and he predicted that with the support the troop was receiving from the civilians of Birmingham it would be up to its strength within an- other month, in spite of the care with which the members are being chosen. He called attention to the fact that the Birmingham troop will be d divi- sicnal troop, and is one of the only two such troops in the entire country.
 The speakers called upon by MT. Ramsay included Murray Brown, George W. Connors, Adjutant General Moon, Col, T. o. Smith. L. Sevier Her. pSAI Nt otoChhdHl anu Capt. Jonn C Carter.
 Several of the prospects present last night signed up at the close of the dinner
 The civilian speakers emphasized the backing which the men of the troop would receive by the business men of the community. They were assured that no man in this district would jeopardize his regular position or employment by any time he had to give to the troops affairs. Colonel Smith placed special emphasis on this, saying that in every instance which had come under his observation the members of the national guard in Bir- mingham had been paid their salaries while they were in the recent service of the state.
 MT. Connors pointed to the oppor- tInity the troop offered in rounding out young mans education. and at the same time being afforded a mos, delightful means of recreation.
 Colonel Moon said that he has esti- mated that the national guard units now being organized in Birmingham mean the bringing to Birmingham from the government in new money not less than $100,000 year, and as Q purely business proposition the troop was something that should be spon> sored by and have the support of the entire public spirit of the community.
 Captain Carter gave some of his ex- periences in recruiting men for the troop, and said they could have had 1t last September if they had been willing to put out drag net and take anything that came. He said, however, that he was determined to have a troop of such capable men that any one of them could be sent out by himself if occasion arose and who would be of such ability that he could handle any situation which arose. Singing was also a feature of last nights troop meeting.

All drivers of motor cars must have obtained permits under the provisions of the new traffic code by April 1 to avoid arrest and pOs- sible fine, according to John II. Taylor, commissioner of public safety.
 Concerns operating a fleet of cars will be allowed to send one Innn to the city hall to obtain ap- piicatiOns sufficient to meet the re- quirements at the individual busi- ness house. Applications may be filled in by the men at their places of business, thus relieving the strain and congestion at the city hall.
 Only 148 permits were issued by the special clerk at tae city hall yesterday. This must he specdcd up greatly, said Mir. Taylor. The corporation plan was evolved by him to meet the situation to some extent. Copies of the traffic code are siven with each application. With approximately 10000 mo- Tor vehicles registered in the city, the authorities estimase the returns from the special permit at about *1S,0OO. This makes allowances for instances where more than ono person drives the same car.
 The primary purpose Is not to de- rive revenue, said Mfr. Taylor, but to render traffic in Birmingham snfer. The applicant is required to sfnnd an examination, which contains c4 questions, before he is Gfven permit to drive car on the streets of the city.

 BLOW--|S MYSTERY

Complete mystery snrouds the de- tails of the attack made on c c. Pip- kin, merchant, of 500 Walker avenue. last Saturday night, which resulted in his death yesterday at a local hospi- tai.
 The merchants skull was fractured from a heavy blow at the base of the skull

Two unidentified negroes fled at the approach of customers, leaving untouched the money, both in the till and on MT. Pipkins person.
