FOR PROMOTING
 EXPORT BUSINESS
Shipping Board Establishes Bureaus at Inland
 Points

That shippers may be supplied with accurate data as to saiiings of vessels to foreign countries, ocean rates and the like the Emergency Fleet corporation has established in- lend traffic officers at strategic land centers.
 Alabama will be served by the Memphis office, which is on the ninth floor of the Porter building with J. S. Houston. of Aberdeen. Miss, in charge. Mir. Houston has been identified with the Cotton Belt railroad at Memphis and with the International and Great Northern railroad and Texas Pacific at Chica- go, and New Orleans.
 T. Park Hay formerly of Birming- ham, who has been with the shipping board al Charleston and Mobile and later at St. Louis, will have charge of the St. Louis office.
 Circular letters announcing the various appointments of inland man agers says:
 We went to convey to all ship pcrs the fact that the operators of Shipping Board vessels are now in position to furnish as good service as any foreign lines and at equal rates. and impress upon them the importance of favoring American flag vessels.
 Among the objects aimed at, says the letter, are ITO stimulate an in- terest on the part of exporters To- cated in the interior, in the handling of their export business and furni sh- ing them with information as to rates and sailing dates, thereby placing them on a parity with ex- porters located on the seaboard."
 Action Of the board in establishing these Inland offices at time when the export trade is becoming again Inviting Is regarded with exceptional interest. Birmingham shippers have the Memphis office at their call for all information desired.

NEW PART RAIL
 AND WATER ROUTE
Daily Service Between Bir- mingham and Philadelphia
 Is Announced

seaboard Air Line makes an nouncement of fast daily rail and water service between Birmingham and Philadelphia.
 Steamship service has been in- augurated by the Inland Steamship company operating between Phila- delphia and Norfolk with sailings daily except Sunday, It is operating in conjunction with the Seaboard Air Line at Norfolk, and thus affords a daily service to Birmingham and other points in the southeast.
 Speaking of the new service R. W. Daniel. assistant general freight agent, said;
 This will mean vastly improved service on merchandise shipped from Philadelphia and on northbound merchandise shipped from this terri tory to Philadelphia at very much lower rates than prevail via the all- rail lines.
 "The only other rail and water service operating to this territory at the present time from Philadelphia is via Savannah with only two sail ings a week. This daily saving will enable Birmingham merchants to re- ceive fifth morning delivery on their shipments from Philadelphia"

Twenty Teams at Work in Raising Funds For White Boys Institution at Rag
 land Will Report

At the regular weekly luncheon of the Exchange club today the 20 so- Iiciting teams of the club will mako reports on their efforts in behalf of the Alabama School of Trades and In dustries at Ragland. The teams have been at work during the past week. and it is for the purpose of getting a line on what has been accomplished that the various team chairmen will be asked to report.
 Reports today are not to be final It is not believed that any of the teams will have final report ready The plan of campaign called for the distribution of blank subscription lists among the various industries and large business institutions, these lists. to be passed around by some person connected with the institution and who was to be designated by the directing head. 1t is expectd that some tune will be required in carry ing out this plan, as many different persons are connected In handling it.. However, the size of the districts to be canvassed by the various com mittees Is not large, the subdivisions ping limited so that no single com mittee would be required to devot more than what could be termed le- gitimate time to the work.
 Chairman Grover c. Knight of the special drive committee has kept in close touch with his workers, and his earnestness in the campaign has given inspiration to those who are assisting him. He says that the drive Is to be kept up until the clubs full quota of $1o.oo0 has been raised.
 Partial reports are being made each day by the various committees who are turning in their collections to the campaign treasurer. w. H.. Manly. cashier of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company.
