 LAyMEN SERVICES
Ten Meetings Held Last Night Delegates Are Still Arriving on
 Every Train

The convention of the Laymen's Mis- sionary movement was officially begun yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the First Methodist church, when something like 400 people heard Dr. c. D. Graves of Nashville, and pr. E. H. Rawlings of the same city, deliver addresses.
 Dr. Graves subject was, "The Effect of War on Missions" and he pointed out on huge map just where the money for missions formerly came from in the countries now at war He showed that these countries for many years to come would be in no position to contribute to foreign missions, and that it remained to America to supply the deficiency
 Dr. Rawlings topic was, "The Hour inspirational address of unusual interest
 There were 10 meetings in as many parts of the Birmingham district last night, each of them beginning at 7:3O p. m., and all of them being addressed ty the several speakers on the laymen S programme. Many of the churcnes com- bined their services, notably, the churches of the South Highlands section, and those in the Norwood district
 It is expected that fully 150O will be registered for the convention by this evening. when the sessions will begin at 7:30 o'clock at the First Methodist church. Many delegates are in the city from Montgomery, from Mobile, from Huntsville, Anniston, Gadsden, Selma, Tuscaloosa, Talladega, Decatur and other Alabama cities, and more are expected to arrive today. The registration of local laymen is expected to be in the neigh borhood of 1000, and the state delegates are expected to swell the attendance to 1500. Beginning with today's sessions, only registered delegates will be permit ted to attend the meetings. excepting the meetings of tomorrow and Wednesday afternoon arranged for the ladies of the

CHANGES PROPOSED IN LAWS GOVERNING POSTAL SAVING BANK New Bill Provides That Maximum Amount to
 Be Deposited
 Is $200O

Assistant Postmaster Edward R. Nor man stated yesterday that the bill re- gently looked on with favor by the Senate which will in all probability become law, will give a tremendous impetus to the postal savings banks.
 Mr. Norman states that the present law provides that the maximum amount that depositor can have in a postal savings bank is $500; in the new bill it will be s200O The new changes, MT. Norman insists, will great stmualte the placing of savings in the hands of the govern ment.
 "rhe bill recently acted on favorably," said Assistant Postmaste Norman, "by the Senate committee on postoffices and post roads and which I have every req son to believe will become a law at the present session of Congress, makes some material changes in the postal savings system of the United States. These changes tend to remove the restrictions which were placed upon the system at the time of it's adoption in January 1911
 The bill provides for more liberal rules regulating the conduct of the postal sav- ings system. For instance, the maximum amount that one person can now have on deposit is limited to $500. The new bill raises this limit to $2000 Under the present law only $1O0 can be deposited by any one person in any one month. The new rules would allow an initial deposit of $500
 This change of itself will doubtless re- suit in greatly stimulating the deposits. as this office in the past has had experi- ence which shows that the restriction now placed on the system has hampered it's progress. For example many persons have offered for deposit sums exceeding $lO0 and when informed that they could deposit only at the rate of $1O0 per month, declined to open postal savings accounts.
 "The postal savings system was in augurated at the Birmingham postoffice on September 30 1911. At present there are 250 depostors or open accounts car ried in the postal savings department. During the year 1915. the deposits of the Birmingham postoffice almost doubled, which gives a general idea of the growth of the system. and its popularity with the people
 "It is the common opinion that the postal savings system is most popular with the citizens of foreign birth. How ever. this is an error as to this office, as only about 40 per cent of the deposit tors of the Birmingham postal savings depa rtment are foreign born citizens. Savings deposited at the postoffice are absolutely safe. The faith of the Uni ted States is solemnly pledged to the rayment of deposits made in postal sav- ings Repositories
 An account may be opened and de- posits made by any persons of the age of 10 years or over in Nhis or her name, or by married woman in her own name and free from the control or interference of he husband. An interest-bearing ac- count can be started by the deposit of s1. A 10-cent savings stamp may be purchased Withdrawals can be made at any time. Deposits are received at the money order window each day in the week from a. m. until D. m.'

Delegates From Alabama to
 Conference On Child Labor
Social Service Department By MRS. sEDNEK N. ULLMAN

Governors of all states have been in- vited to appoint special delegates to the child labor conference at Asheville, N. C., and in view of this fact Governor Henderson has made several valuable ap- pointments in the state. But aside from this two very prominent Alabamians will appear on the programme.
 This is a signal honor for Alabama. as no conference of like character in the country has on its programme speakers of gI ter note.
 On the night of the first day of the con ference, February 3, Mrs w. L. Murdoch will speak on the subject, Moving For ward in Alabama On the same night will appear such speakers as pr. Felix Adler and Judge Joseph Mccullough. Dr. Stephen S. Wise is also one of that days speakers. Dr. w. H. Oates will also speak that same evening on another phase of the same subject as will be discussed by Mrs. Murdoch and on account of his work as prison and factory inspector will handle the subject from an entirely diff ferent angle
 The conference will have as a general topic, Safeguarding American Child hood Those of you who were fortunate enough to have attended the splendid con- ference held in Birmingham some years ago will remember with pleasure how much the conference meant to the com munity.
 On Wednesday last, January 26 the local committee met at the Tutwiler and discussed the work in Alabama since the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-31

, passage of the child labor bill during the meeting of the legislature.
 On this occasion Dr. Phillips spoke of the number of working permits given at the public schools These permits are is- sued by the superintendent of the schools to children that have been to school at least 60 days of the previous year. He reported a very small number of these permits had been given out, showing in this respect small violation of the law
 The great stumbling block in the en- forcement of the law seems to be the vio- lation of the law of age. Tt seems al- most impossible to get proof of the age of the children" said Mrs. Murdoch, in speaking of the meeting of the local com mittee.
 Law enforcement will be one of the topics of interest at the round table dis cussions at the conference.
 Most social workers are awaiting the first test case of the Alabama laws made by the bill, many cases having been un- der consideration. but the first arrest Is about to be made, and the case will then come up for trial
 Club women all over the country have indorsed the Keating-Owen bill that has recently been up for discussion and vote in the House. This bill will be explained and discussed by Thomas l. Parkinson of Columbia university, and Congressman Edward Heating of Colorado, the con gressman after whom the bill is called will discuss Federal Child Labor Legis- lation." In view of the fact that the bill had such sensational debate in the House January 26, and will come up again this week. this subject will prob ably be the most important topic for dis cussion at the conference.
 The general public is invited to attend the meetings and take part in the discus sion, thus becoming familiar with the ac- tivities of the committee.
