Figures compiled by the Savings Bank association of the state of New York show this:
 Increase in savings deposits in 412 New England banks on January 1, 1921, compared with January 1, 1919, was 7.56 per cent.
 In Pacific states the increase was 6.99 per cent.
 Tn 635 savings institutions scat tered throughout the country the increase was 9.30 per cent.
 Birmingham's percentage of IA 1-3 increase over 1920 is all the more remarkable in the light of these other figures, innsmuch as savings deposits of 1920 showed am increase over 1919, hence had the comparison been made between 1921 and 1919 the increase would have been still more pronounced. For instance, the savings deposits in one large bank grew from ss,0s6, 900 in March, 1919. to $9,S66,000 in March, 1920, and to $11,0SS. 900 in March, f921,
 THEY SAVED
 Birmingham wage earners and sala- ried men did not throw away all the money made in the flush times, but there is snug total of nearly $22,- 100000, which is there to tide them over any slight inconveniences of the present and for investment in such things as homes.
 Christmas savings clubs report marked increase over this time last year in total deposits.
 Every one of the nine banks re- ported increase in savings with one exception and the decrease there was only q few thousands of dollars. The showing made by total deposits is also gratifying in the light of re-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-20

ports from other cities and the coun- try's average. Latest report from the country at large was that total bank deposits had shown a slump of about 19 per cent under the peak of past flush periods. The status of total de- posits in Birmingham is as follows
 TOTAL DEYPOSITS
 Total deposits in the nine banks of Greater Birmingham on March 15, 1921, s5s.57I,OOO.
 Total on March IS, 1920, $61.- 15S,OOO.
 Decrease for this year S2,5s7 900.
 The decrease is A per cent.
 The figures speak for them selves. Total deposits fin Birming- ham make n decidedly better showing than those of the coun- try at large.
 The figures here presented were gotten in detail from eeach of the nine banks and have been carefully tabulated.( They are correct. The banks furnishing the figures were; First National, Birmingham Trus-, American Trust, Traders National Bank of Ensley, Bank of Alabama, North Birmingham Trust, Woodlawn Savings and Steiner Bros.
 Bankers report that savings are still on the increase. Where they are drawn on and decrease one day, they increase little more the next.
 It remains that there is nearly $22,0OO,00O on deposit in the saw ings banks of Birmingham avaiia- ble for the 17S,OOO of population, SPA per capita.
 The increase In savings deposits 4 the loss sustained in deposits at large. Citizens of Birmingham will proba- bly, be surprised also to realize what a large proportion of the total de- posits that savings constitute. They are more than a third of the total.

 SHELBY DISTRICTS
Pierce, Prohibition Enforce ment Chief, Calls on Governor in Letter to Give Aid in
 Cleaning Up County

Gov. Thomas E. Kilby has been asked to order out the Alabama na- tional guard to assist in wiping out illicit distilling in Shelby county.
 This request was made by N. L. Pierce, federal prohibition enforce ment officer in charge of raiding in Alabama in letter to the governor last night.
 According to MT. Pierce, an average of % illicit distilleries a week are raided in Shelby county, and of the 90 cases aris- ing in the federal court during the recent term of court, charging the defendants with violating the prohibition laws, the majority were from Shelby county.
 The letter to Governor Kil5y is as fol- lows:
 THE LETTER
 T have the honor to call your atten- tion to the fragrant violation of fed eral and state prohibition statutes in Ala bama.
 T am bringing this question to your attention on account of the federal ap- prorriation for the enforcement of na- tlonaI prohibition laws being reduced $200oo0, instead of having been increased, as it should have been, in my opinion, This action on the part of Congress pre- vents the appointing of additional men on the field forces to do raiding work ill Alabama. Our quota is only 20 men for the entire state.
 With an average of 15 men during the calendar year ending DecembeF 31, 1920, this office reported more than 1,300 illicit distilleries seized and destroyed in the state, saying nothing for the large num- Der of prosecutions and seizures made for other offenses, the largest number of which were furnished by Shelby county. Conditions are such in this county lliat believe the federal and state authori- ties should unite with one major effort to rid that county of the pestilent moon shirer and his nefarious practices of per- sistently ignoring the laws, and that de- cent society should not tolerate it fur ther.
 NEED HELP
 "If it is within the scope of your au- thority I would appreciate the assistance or national guardsmen to aid our men in an intensive drive in Shelby county against illicit distilers. I do not know whether state troops can be used for this purpose; however, I would like to be ad- vised, I believe the situation justifies the use of them if found practicable.
 If troops are not available in the above connection, I would appreciate yon advising me what assistance you can offer our department by cooperating In stamping out this evil causing so much incompetence in our fair state.'

DIVORCES.

(Bluefield Daily Telegraph.)
When women were given the right
to vote it was prophesed that the,
would bring about many changes for
the betterment of the human race
and this prophesy is being fulfilled.
They now have their committees ap-
penling to congress to pass legisla-
ton for the protection of women
| and children. In the District of
Columbia no employer can pay Il
girl less than SIG for n weeks work
III stores and restaurants, which ell
ables women depending on their own
efforts to live decently and respect
ably. Through their efforts Il mater
nifty bill has been passed designed
to protect child birth. They are now
urging the passage of uniform
federal divorce law and they are
backed by all the religious organi-
cations in the country in their eff
forts to have law passed which
VIII protect the home and safeguard
the interests Of defenseless chill
dren. Under present conditions ev-
cry state has u different divorce
law and some of these laws maxi
the marriage rites mockery. As mn
illustration, couple may be di
vorced in New Jersey and go to New
York and in the purview Of the law
of that state still be married. In
some of the western states n di-
vorce can be obtained by exparte
statements and one can marry and
get divorce rs often as one wishe,
if he has enough money to pay court
costs. If these conditions ara not
rcmedied we will pay the price in
degeneration of the race, because if
w are to have virile race the
sanctity of the marriage vow must
be respected and to bring about a
solution of the evil congress will
have to pass Uniform divorce law
under federal regulation. The report
OF commissioner of labor for II
period of twenty years showed that
the courts of the United States had
IN those years granted 328,716 d.
Norces. This is appalling. Unless
some measures are taken to stop
.ths evil we will soon be on par
with Egypt.
