FEDERAL TAXES
 ARE REDUCED
Huge Saving Under New United States Law Is
 Indicated

Reductions in federal taxes which are effective for the current year will save the taxpayers of the Ala bama district the enormous sum of s5, 5,447,ooo, according tGt special sur vey of the cancellations and de- ereasss in tax rates provided by the revenue act of 1921. which has just been completed by Collector w. l.. Snead
 The reduction in taxes for 1922 is approximately as follows: Income s777, 0oo sales and luxury tax, s904,0o0.
 While the transportation, sales and luxury tax cancellations became effective January l, 1922, the income tax reductions cover 1921 as well as 1922 and thereafter.
 The outstanding feature of this re- port is the fact that during the four preceding years the Alabama district has paid Uncle Sam an average of s1.5s7.5522s per year for sales and luxury tax. and an average of s15,- 54b.75i.11 for income tax.
 The new exemptions allowed in fil- ing income tax returns tc heads of families, and for dependents is now $2500 and $400 where the net income is less than 5000. which means an increased exemption for married couple with one dependent of s700, or tax savings of $2S.
 The decreased taxation affects every person in the Alabama district who travels. pays freight, sends an ex- press package, buys a Pullman berth takes a drink of soda water, CT who has taxable income. In other words, the relief afforded reaches all classes

NEGRO IS VICTIM
 OF BURGLAR TRAP
In Attempting to Enter Store Negro Springs Trigger,
 Causing Death

Norman Ridley. negro, was shot and almost instantly killed early yes- terday morning by trap gun set up in the store of c. Barbour. merchant at Adamsville, when 1t is said he at tempted to burglarize the store.
 Ridley's body was found about 100 yards in front of the store, about ' o'clock yesterday morning, with load of buckshot in his left side, one of the shots penetrating his heart.
 The negro, according to Coroner J. D. Russum, who made an ipvestiga- tion, had attempted to enter the store by tearing off the wooden shutters of one of the front windows. When the attempted robbery was dis covered, the left-hand shutter had heen prized from it's hinges and ly- ing on the ground.
 trap had been set up in the rear of the store, single-barreied shot gun the trigger of which was tied with a string, had been placed in the rear with the barrel pointing to the window and the other end of the string was attached to the shutter of the window in the front of the building.
 IHe trap Hhu pooH So aA ahSeu eA"' on opening the shutter, the gun would automatically fire. The Rid ley negro, 1t is thought, was standing near the shutter and on opening 1t the entire load of the gun took ef- feet in his side. The man ran for about 100 yards, where he was found, blood being sprinkled along his path, which led from the window.
 Coroner Russum will render his verdict this morning, following his investigation into the negro's death.

The Daily Luncheon Talk

What makes city? great Of course the buildings. public utili- ties, factories and other businesses contribute largely to the physical as- sets of city but after all the thing that makes the city ultimately is the development of it's manhood and womanhood,. said Dr. Hugh s. Magill, general secretary of the Interna- tional Sunday School Council of Re- ligious Education at the luncheon of the Rotary club yesterday
 Several years ago when I was a guest of the Rotary club in Seattle I was called upon to speak," he con- tinued. "The gentleman seated on my left at the presidents table was the trained orator of the club and as it happened he was called on to speak before me. During his talk, which was about the wonderful develop ment and gre with of his city, he, as 1t were, climbed to the top of the mountain overlooking the city and in glowing terms praised the buildings, industries and developments of that wonderful city. At the conclusion of his talk het was loudly applauded and was called upon tG speak. I said to them:
 Gentlemen, are you building men and women to match your mountains and industries? Are you developing your youth to meet the demands that will be exacted of them in the fu- ture? If you are, then you will have a greater city than you anticipate, but if you are not then your wis., ions will fade. Are you doing your duty to the youth of today who will be the citizen of tomorrow in teach ing them to respect and abide by Gods laws? If you are then you are helping this world along in the right channels for the hopes of Christian civilization and society lie in relig- ious teachings to the Youth of to- day
 We conserve our water power, our forests, our game. let us conserve the physical well being of the youth who will be the future makers of society. Teach every child in the schools to show respect to himself and he will respect his fellowman. Let the churches take the child and imbibe within his breast the prin- ligious conviction and he will be a better citizen, a successful citizen, morally, socially, physically and mentally" pr. Magill then told of the main object and purposes of the merger of the two leading religious Sunday school organizations winch were to conserve the youth of today to make the man of tomorrow.
 A glowing tribute was paid to Frank B. Fowlkes, former member of the club who died recently, by Henry w. Howze. who told of the boyhood

McClintock of Washington are stop ping off on their honeymoon in Bir- mingham at the Motion hotel to pay a short visit to MT. Thomas father. John D. Thomas, night chief of the Postal Telegraph company.
 Their marriage was hastily de- cided upon, at the end of courtship that began while MT. Thomas was stationed at the Edsall rifle range, a few miles from Miss McClintock' 8 summer home in Virginia. Their de- cision was reached at noon on the day they started their trip south. By G o'clock that evening they were married, and on their way to Bir- mingham.

Thomas is also the editor and one of the founders of Who's Who in the Nations Capital" in which are printed live sketches of 4,500 of the leading people of Washington.
 This is MT. Thomas second visit to Birmingham. The other visit was made three years ago. Nothing has ever afforded him more surprise, he said. than the changes that have taken place in the city since then. It is not so much that the city has grown physically that interests MT. Thomas, although that too has been noticeable growth, but it is the more aggressive, cosmopolitan spirit that Is noticeable everywhere. which has attracted his attention.
 Mrs. Thomas has never been south before. and she is lonesome for the sound of the rolled r. She compli- mented Birmingham highly on it's numbers of pretty girls. and the warm weather.
 They had not been in town two hours. Mir. Thomas said, before some one offered to bet him on the cleo ton of Andy Gump. But, being un- familiar with the political situation. he hesitated to favor either side.
 The couple will go from here to Atlanta, where they will visit friends before returning to Washington.

 EXCHANGE CLUB
 All towns throughout the east and west the size of Birmingham have large stadiums, with the excep- tion of Birmingham, and I think if a movement was started in this city 1t would be put over" said Tom Bragg of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn yesterday when he addressed the members of the Exchange club at their regular weekly luncheon.
 Nashville recently opened it's s200,000 stadium, while Columbus, Ga, and Montgomery, both smaller than Birmingham, have splendid sta- diumss for the purpose of athletic events" Birmingham mas done her part wonderfully in assisting the Birmingham-S Southern college, the University and Auburn, and now I believe the time has come or will soon come for us to build something for the pleasure of Birmingham. In my opinion 1t would pay the city to have a stadium.
 Birmingham has a wonderful foot. ball spirit, but we have no place to stage a good game" said Ray L.. Lange, national president of Ex- change clubs. Even though we have splendid spirit and support every game, the teams do not want to come here because we haven't an adequate seating capacity. I feel certain that if we had a stadium we could have some of the best football games played In the south.."
 Leon Bradley, formerly of this city, now of Auburn was a guest on this occasion and said that The was informed by Harry Halfacre. former manager of the Tutwiler hotel, that during the week end the Auburn Centre football teams were in Bir- mingham that hef cleared more earn ings for the Tutwiler hotel than he did during the semi-centennial when tho President of the United States was visitor in the city.
 Birmingham certainly does need a stadium
 The club meeting was presided over by Macln F. Smith, president and a number of other members ex- pressed themselves in favor of start ing a movement for the building of a stadium.
