WARRIOR VESSELS ALWAYS IN TOUCH WITH BIRMINGHAM
Wireless and Land Telephone Equipment Completed Saturday and First
 Messages Sent

Through associational functions of wireless apparatus at Port of Bir- mingham and telephone connectio9 between the port and the offices of the general agent. Joseph D. You man. in the Brown Marx building, Birmingham shippers will hence forth be in continuous momentary touch with the ships in the Warrior barge line service and will be en- abIed at any time to ascertain the progress of their shipments from port to port: from New Orleans and Mobile on the south to Port Of Bir- mingham on the north.
 The Warrior vessels are equipped with wireless and can communicate at all hours with the wireless at Port of Birmingham. Wireless mes sages received there will be auto matically telephoned into the gem eral agents office. and vice versa.
 Besides being a great convenience the combined service will also con stitute large saving in telegraph bills, the wireless equipped craft heretofore reporting to the Memphis land office and that office commu- nicating with Birmingham by tele- graph. The Birmingham office Is now independent of all other service in keeping in continuous touch with the fleet engaged in Birmingham to Mobile-New Orleans traffic.
 The long delayed telephone con- struction and installation was com pleted Saturday, and early Saturday afternoon General Agent Youman celebrated the event by calling up The Age-Herald and telling of the latest achievement in placement of facilities at Port of Birmingham.
 O O o
 Rails for Japan.
 As if to add some eclat to the event, Mir. Youman, when asked what was doing at the port replied that among other items there was a movement of 5000 tons of steel rails about to get under way for Mobile, them to Japan.
 We are fortunate in getting some new craft" said MT. Youman. The towboat Cordova has already been transferred from the Mississippi river service and is now on the War rior. It will add considerably to our movement of barges."
 O O O
 Lot of New Craft.
 Mir. Youman was especially de- lighted to hear that Secretary of War Weeks would in the immediate future cancel the lease of Edward F. Goltra to 19 steel barges and three modern towboats now used on the upper Mississippi river and transfer them to the Mississippi Warrior federal barge lines. This craft has heretofore operated from St. Louis northward, but the terms of lease have not been complied with and the craft now lapses to the low CT Mississippi and the Warrior.
 My understanding is that the Warrior is to receive the larger part of this additional craft" said Mir Youman. and I have heard that we were to get it all. At any rate, what we will receive will be a very sub stantial addition to our transporta- tion facilities"

AL|MONY IS EXEMPT IN FILING SCHEDULE OF YEARLY INCOME

Did you receive alimony during the year 1922? Were you successful in 8 breach of promise suit entered against a former admrer?
 Personal questions, yes. very, but important to those to whom they apply in the preparation of an in- come tax return for the year 1922, according to statements made by Collector of Internal Revenue W. E. Snead of the district of Alabama.
 Amounts received as alimony are not taxable income. Such payments do not have to be included in the income tax return of the person re- ceiving them. nor may they be de ducted from the gross income of the person paying them. Payment of allmony is lkened to a personal or living expense, which Is not deduct able. However, woman who has won breach of promise case, or has accepted out of court settle the amount in her income tax re- turn. The bureau of internal reve- nue has ruled in such cases that the amount received "is not to be re- garded as return of capital, since the benefits of which the injured party was deprived were merely an ticipatory."
 MT Snead, further announces that members of labor union may de- duct as a business expense dues paid to su h organizations during the year 1922. Such dues are held by the bureau to be necessary expenses in- cident to the earning of their wages. A member of a labor union, who while on strike receives payment from an organization, must include in hia income for the year such items.
 The tax payer who in 1922 re- covered damages for defamation of personal character need not include in his return such amount. as 1t has been held to be non taxable in- come. The revenue act specifically eXempts amounts received through accident or health insurance, or un- der workmen compensation acts as compensation for personal injuries or illness, plus any additional amount received by suit or agree sment in such cases.
 The office of the internal revenue field department in the post office building, was crowded during the entire day Saturday with tax payers and five additional deputy collectors were pressed into service. A number of persons had filled out their in-
 ,me tax forms and appeared at the office to have them signed by a deputy collector, thus facilitating matters and saving much time.
 To avoid the penalty, as pre- scribed by the federal law. returns should be filed on or before mid night of March To. At present free advisory service in preparation of tie forms is being offered at the To- cal. offices of the collector of in ternal revenue and taxpayers are re- uuested to take advantage of this opportunity and file their income returns early, thereby avoiding the rush.

100000 T0NS IF ALABAMA IRON ON BOOKS THIS YEAR
Demand Never More Contin- uously Active, According to the SIoss- Sheffield
 President

Between 100000 and S00,O00 tons of pig iron is my estimate of the bookings which Alabama blast furnaces have made since January l." said J. w. Mcqueen, president of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, Saturday. "The mar ket is an exceedingly strong one. The demand for Alabama iron was never more continuously active than it has been"
 The Sloss-Sheffield company alone has booked 25O,00O tons of pig iron since January 1, according to Mir. Mcqueen. This enormous tonnage he is handling now with five active stacks, three in Birming-j ham, one at Florence and one at Sheffield.
 ''I will have a sixth stack in op- eration in April" said Mir. Me Queen. "We are now putting re- pairs on No. 2 at North Birming- ham,"
 O O o
 Six Stacks In April.
 With s.s stacks the Soss-S Sheffield company will be producing between 50, 900 and 60.000 tons of iron per month. This company is the largest of the southern merchant iron pro- ducers.
 There is now early prospect of a considerable increase in Alabama iron production with the second stack of the Alabama company at Gadsden coming in this week, Oxmoor stack of the Tenn 9ssee company soon to follow and the oss-Sheffield's sixth stack in April. With the additions Alabama will produce about 100000 tons of iron ~ month.
 By Saturday evening the wage ad vance had been automatically trans lated into s1 advance in pig iron. The market is now s26. Some in- quiries already quoted on will be closed next week at s25, but no new business Is going to be taken at less than S26. Just before the market advanced to S26. large pipe maker on Saturday closed for considerable tonnage at s25. One 1,500 ton sale at s2; was made.
 Raj. and Water Iron.
 Tn duultion to us regular market territory reached by rail the Sloss- Sheffield company has a rail and water delivery for it's Sheffield and Florence iron via the Tennessee river and the Burlington railroad to St. Louis and Chicago at less than rail rates.
 This rail and river iron has been moving in large and steady quan- titles to Chicago and St. Louis for many months and has become a pro nounced factor in the middle western trade. Enjoyment of the rail and river rate serves to render the Muscle Shoals iron making district one to be considered apart from other Alabama producing points. which have not this advantage
