CLARK CHAMPIONS SHOALS OPMENT

In the January 26 issue of the Manufacturers Accord. George Hunt ington Clark, consulting engineer and mining 1eologist, Birmingham has an article on the value of the de- velopment of Muscle Shoals Mir. Clark is familiar with every phase or industrial development in Alabama, having been employed as engineer m q large way in that development.
 Among the outstanding benefits of Muscle Shoals power development says MT. Clark, would be the salvage of II. 1.500, 900 tons of coal DOT annum through use of hydroelectric energy. Tn this connection he praises Henry Ford's vision in looking forward to an electrically operated line connect ing Muscle Shoals with tho Warrior river at Birmingham. through which connection will be established with tidcwater at the gulf
 Incidentally Mir. Clark refers to the importance of the connections made during the past year by means or which water powers of the states or Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas have been made susceptible of inter state transmission according to re- uuirements. 1t was this connection that enabled Alabama Power com pany to furnish power to Carolina cotton mills six hundred miles away when but for this aid they would have been idle or on part time at a period when there was demand for full time operation.
 Mir Clark's article is being read with interest In industrial Alabama.

 IN OWN QUARTERS
Newsboys and Carriers Are Delighted With New Pic- ture Machine in Age
 Herald Building

There was happy lot of newsboys and carriers at The Age-Heraid building Friday night and Saturday morning. They had real moving picture show all their own.
 A brand new moving picture ma chine had been purchased and in- stalled in the large room on the mail room floor of The Age Herald build Ing and while the boys were waiting for the press to start and waiting to be sent out on their morning journey to the homes of Birmingham, they enjoyed the movies, Charlie Chaplin and special feature pictures showing how Boy Scouts are trained and what they do were shown at the first ex hibition. It was a good show and the boys all said so.
 All of The Age-Herald boys are alert and instead of being late for their work they are usually a little ahead of time, so the movies were conceived as a means of keeping them entertained until the presses start and at the same time give them form of picture which will not only be interesting and amusing but in- structive.
 The boys are so delighted with the innovation that 1t is planned to give the shows regularly In future for their benefit.

The campaign to endOw the school of journalism at Washington and Lee university, as a aemorial to Gen. Robert E. Lee. Is meeting with popu- lar favor throughout the south, but as yet Birmingham and the surround ing territory has not awakened to the appeal being made by the central committee of the Southern Newspa- per Publishers association.
 T. Jeff Bailey of Birmingham has lust completed the task of visiting the newspapers Of the south, having seen the publishers in West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama. Geor- gla, Florida. Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, and everywhere he has been. editors and publishers have been enthusiastic over the prof ect. and have willingly offered their support of the movement
 It Is the plan to raise not less than $260, ,000. which will endow the school and erect proper building for be- ginning. and the newspapers of the south are going to raise this money through their readers, the subscrip-
  the donor. There are $500 newspa- pers in the south, and this amount should be raised easily. Anyone who wishes to contribute, and The Age5 Herald hopes that many will answer the appeal, may send their checks to r. W Barrett. editor. of The Age Herald, and they will be forwarded to | Washington and Lee university at Lexington. Va.
 Fifty-two years ago, as president of Washington college. Gen. Robert r.. Lee, with the prophetic vision or genius, founded the first school or l Journalism in America. Some years after his death, amid the poverty and misery of the reconstruction" era the school was discontinued for lack of funds.

WOODWARD co. TO PAY $395,000 IN
 DELINQUENT TAXES

Approximately s395,Ooo will be paid to the county tax collector within the next few days by the Woodward Iron company covering two years taxes due on its property in Jeffer- son county.
 Final figures, showing an assess ment by agreement between the com pany and the state tax commission, on the corporation's property in the county of $17,51S,So4 for the two years were furnished Roy Dillon, tax assessor, yesterday, by the state tax commission.
 Assessment of the corporations property, including all it's personality and real estate, for 1920, was fixed at SS,599.796, and for 1921 at sS,913- sos. The 1920 taxes have never been paid, owing to litigation between the state tax commission and number of the large corporations of the dis trict over right of the former to ex- anime the books of the latter, in or der to determine the amount of the valuation of property on which taxes should be paid. The issue was de- cided in favor of the commission by the supreme court in a test case Meantime, the original assessments against the corporations had been set aside.
 The state tax commission and the county board of tax adjusters have been going over the books of the cor } porations involved for several weeks to determine the amount of taxes due. The Woodward Iron company was the first with which an agree ment was reached. Agreements with the remaining corporations involved. The Republic Iron and Steel company, the Alabama company, the Sloss- Shef- field Steel and Iron company and the Gulf States Steel company are expected within a few days followed by payment of the taxes found to be due. A total of $2a000.000 valuation Is involved in the proceedings.
 Taxes found to be dus from the Woodward Iron company for 1920 amounted to s1S4,143.S0 and for 1921 to $2l0,7St on the valuations fixed.

NEEDIS GREAT, SAYS
 CHAIRMAN JEWISH . RELIEF CAMP PAIGN
Drive for Funds Will Continue During the Present Week. Quota Is Expected to
 Be Reached

All committees in the drive for funds for the sufferers in eastern and central Europe, sufferers from the World war, will take up the work again tomorrow and push the effort for five days, making up for the loss of time and activity the past week by reason of inclement weather and other reasons.
 Jacob Burger, chairman of the local committee, was assured Saturday that every committee would be ready to start out before 10 o'clock Monday and the lists of citizens who are ex- Pected to open their pursestrings will be worked over so that systematic campaign can be waged.
 Two or three days of the past week was marked by such bad weathe; conditions as to make the work Of solicitation impossible and other causes prevented all the committees from going out Tn the work, but the present week holds out bright prom ises.
 A citizen of Birmingham. who has been to Europe since the World war
 
 trip into the district where the dis tress Is most distressing. said Satur- oay that if the people could only imagine the real conditions there would not be a hesitancy for a mo ment in the giving Words are unable to describe the terrible suffering that Is on, he said, Women and children are dying by the hundreds Men, who were well off before the war, are starving to death. With women, chil- dren and men raiment Is unknown. The conditions are so terrible that 1t Is Impossible to draw word pie ture.
 "Birmlngham's goal must be reached" said Jacob Burger. "The people of this district have the repu tation of being generous. l know they are liberal, they are always willing to assist their unfortunate brethren. Our committees will be ready to re- sume the work early Monday. The committees will work fast. this will be necessary with the many citizens yet to be called upon.
 There have been very few, in fact as small a percentage as one could expect, who have refused to give something to the great cause. The coming week will see more liberal spirit than ever before. It is abso- lutely necessary that everybody ap- preached must give, the cause is one that appeals In. the strongest man ner."
