License Tags On Street Cars?
 Yes, Arizona Law So Decrees

Another eccentricity of the later made laws of Arizona was made known to Sheriff Montgomery yes terday when Secretary of State Hall telephoned him that the sheriff was neglecting his business in the matter of the enforcement of the motor ve- hicle law, notably in respect to seeing that all motor vehicles are equipped with license plates.
 How come?" inquired the sheriff.
 You are letting motor vehicles every few minutes run past the court house right under your nose without license plates,'' said the secretary of state.
 "Any man who says that I am neg lecting the business of looking after automobile licenses is a liar, said the sheriff. without rummaging around in his dictionary for a longer and more pulchritudinous word Liar, l-i-a-r ca est ne pas? Do you get that?
 q know what I'm talking about said MT. Hall; hundreds of cars most of them Mitchells, have been running right past you without h- cense plates and none of them have paid the motor vehicle tax. either This isn't matter of hearsay either.''
 Then the secretary explained that the joke was in the definition of mo tor vehicle under the Arizona law In all other states the motor vehicle is defined as one that runs under its own power. but there is exempted from the classification certain ve- hicles so propelled, such as locomo- tiyeS street cars, traction engines

etc. The Arizona law makes no such exceptions, so that if the law were strictly enforced, it would apply to every vehicle except such as are mus cularly propelled, such as wheelbar- rows, buggies and wagons.
 Probably strict application of the law will not be made. If so, MT. Mitchell, unless he wants to tag his cars with license plates and pay the motor vehicle tax on them, had better shut off the power a couple of blocks from the court house on either side and let the motorman and conductor push them past. They will then be muscularly propelled and will fall outside the Arizona definition of mo- tor vehicles

MOOSE SECRETARY
 ID INSPECT SITES
Rodney Brandon Comes to Birmingham Friday on
 Official Visit
The First National Bank of Birmingham, Ala. Statement June 3oth, 1921.

Renewed interest in the location of firm is manifest among local enthu- siasts and members of the Birming- ham lodge through the expected visit this week of Rodney H. Brandon. su- preme secretary
 Mir. Brandon will come direct from Mooseheart, Ill, arriving next Fri day, according to information brought by John H. Adams, who attended the national convention of Moose, recent ly held in Toledo, o.
 Final preparations are being made by the site elimination committee to supply Mir. Brandon with detailed in formation concerning the site or sites to be finally offered. Prof. G. C. Starcher of Auburn, state horticul- turist, on request of the association s secretary manager, Charles l.. Har- old, spent Saturday making examina- ton of the soil productivity of these sites in the district which are not yet eliminated. The fruit and truck growing adaptability of the Jefferson county soil has been proclaimed by Mr. Starcher as the equal of any soil in the country. This is deemed inn portant because the ambition of the Moose officers is to make the home self-sustaining through the cultiva- tion of the 1000 or more acres of land comprising the site.
 At the national convention of the Moose final authority was given to the supreme council to locate and be- gin operation of the home, and the necessary appropriation of funds was made for purchase of the site and construction of necessary buildings

SAVINGS ACCOUNTS IN BANKS OF CITY
 SHOW AN INCREASE
$17,914,000 on Hand Is S771,000 More Than at This Time Last Year. Larger But for Home
 Building

The savings of the thrifty citi- zens of the Birmingham district are intact.
 In the three leading banks o1 Greater Birmingham the total of savings July was $17,914,000.
 The savings in these same insti- tutions one year ago were $17,143,- 0O0.
 In these three banks the total of savings deposits now show an in crease over a year ago of $7T1,00o. The total in savings accounts or Marh 8, this year, in these three banks, was s1s,O960oo. Compared with the total. July l. they show s1S2, 1000 more in savings deposits on that date in March than on July l. Apparently nearly s200,000 has been drawn out since March for various purposes.
 Spent For Homes
 It is known that a lot of money has gone into home building on tn Q part of the man of modest means. the kind that most lbdulges the savings bank habit 1t is also well known fact that men O. average and modest means have invested in the securities of the Alabama Power company and the Birmingham Water Works com pany as well as in the high interest bearing securities of the railroads and industrials as well as foreign bonds bearing high rate of interest.
 Bankers regard 1t as remarkable that savings accounts should have decreased so little from the peak of the early part af this year and that they still show jarge increase over n year ago when the high tide was still bearing men on in a big wage and big production wave.
 One banker, commenting, said: "lt is just this. The thrifty citizen of modest means is as well off today as he was year ago, as he was tbis spring. They have continued to put money in savings accounts Tn about tine same ratio as they have drawn out for investment purposes.
 Economic and Thrifty
 The yeomanry of Birmingham at- test by their savings accounts that they are sound, stable, economical and have tidy sum with which they may do as they choose"
 In March, 1920. the total of savings deposits in the three banks referred to was s16,030,000 This shows an increase during the year ending March. 1921, of s2.066, 900 in savings deposits in these banks and shows S1.SS4,00O more in savings deposits July l. this year. than in March of 1920
 One banker said Tt is not diff cult to account for the more than TOO homes that are being built in Bir- mingham by her thrifty citizens when We regard their persistent savings deposit habit"

CAPTURE OF NOTED
 ESCAPE REPORTED
F. G. Winters, Who Escaped In 0verton Jail Delivery,
 Held In Arizona

Word was received yesterday by Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield that r. G Winters, who escaped from the Jeff ferson county jail during the cele- brated Overton jail delivery in 1917, had been captured in Phoenix, Arlz. Winters was in jail at that time on a forgery charge. and had not been heard from since his escape.
 The jail delivery, which brought Thomas J. Batson, then sheriff, be- fore the supreme court, where he was exonerated of implication, oc- Overton was in jail in Birmingham under the sentence of death for the murder of Thomas Lawler, polit- ical rival, at Huntsville. On the morning of March 20. he and four fellow prisoners secured the keys of the jail, and escaped in a car which was waiting for them.
 After a search which lasted all day, Joseph k. Tate, who had con- ducted the prosecution against Over ton. saw a group of suspicious look ing men in the woods near his res- idence at Owenton, close by the Biz mingha m- Southern college. He tele- phoned for officers, and when they arrived and tried to arrest Overtor, he and his companions began firing. Overton was killed in the pitched battle which followed.
 Officers at the sheriff's office last right said that Winters was not gen. orally thought to have had any part in the jail delivery, but he merely made good his escape while the doors of the jail were open. Interest in WiAters capture centers in the fact that he may be able to throw some light on the delivery, which up to this time has never been understood.
 Sheriff Hartsfield said last night that he did not know yet whether Winters will be brought back to Bir- mingham or not. The county pro- vides no fund for bringing back to the state any prisoners except those santenced on capital offenses.
