Tom Reha, the golf pro at BraW-
ley tells this story about gentle
man from the migratory camp who
was pinch hitting as a caddy at
the Del Rio club.
On the first tee the players for
whom the migratory worker was
caddying asked him if he had a
card, meaning a score card.
Yes sir. right in my pocket the
caddy replied.
After the first hole was played
the golfers asked the caddy for
the card so that the scores could
be registered and the gentleman
produced his Social Security card!

Dee paid no attention.
"Betcha got a gun!" continued
the drunk tagging along. "Betcha
gonna shoot up the town.
Dee continued his solemn march.
"Whatcha doing with that big
hat on your head?" persisted the
drunk. That was too much for Dee
who answered.:
where did you think I would
wear it, Oh the seat of my pants?"

D. {. Bank Deposits
Climb $31,154,556
Over Year Ago
Analysis DiscIoses
Many Striking Goins
In Other Periods
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington's 20 active banks piled
up gain of more than S31 ,00O. 900 in
deposits in the IL months ending
March 26 and over $11, ,000, 900 in the
last three months, according to a
bank analysis completed today by
Audley A. P. Savage, auditor of the
National Savings & Trust Co.
Deposits on March 26, the date
OF the controllers call, aggregated
$372.87391448 compared with S34l,-
719,35761 on March 20, 1899. the
date of the call year ago, register
Ing an increase of $31 1,154,556.87.
Deposits in the same banks on De-
cember 80, 1889. totaled 1851 539. :
324.46, which was an all-time high
mark up to that time. Since then
deposits have climbed steadily, the
March Is figures bringing out gain
of l1,334.59002 in the first quar-
ter of 1910, Mr.. Savage said.
The analysis reveals that as a
group the nine national banks
pushed deposits up sS,774 S59 .98; the
eight savings banks enjoyed an in
crease of $1,545 ,239.18. while the five
trust companies renorted an aggre-
gate gain of $1014,49086.
Every Savings Bank Gains.
Every one of the savings banks,
all but one of the national banks and
three of the five trust companies
reported larger deposits than three
months ago. Riggs National had
the largest gain and National Met
ropolitan second largest, the analysis
disclosed.
Auditor Savage presented some
startling figures showing the growth
OF bank deposits in the Capital over
a long period of years. Thirty years
ago, the call of March 10, 1910
revealed deposits of only s64,538.-
468.61, there being 20 banks in the
citv at that time.
Twenty years ago the call came
late in the spring, on May 4, 1920,
when deposits totaled S179. .091 .494 .27.
On that date there were a. banks in
the city. The comparison reveals
that in spite of the fact that there
are just half as many banks now.
deposits have practically doubled in
the two decades. From 1920 to 1880
deposits moved upward and on
March 27, 1890, totaled $256,87O,-
92O93.
Reasons for Advances.
Bankers assign the steady climb
to higher and higher deposit peaks
to many reasons. In the past year
there has been steady increase in
the number and amount of dividends
paid by leading corporations, several
closed banks in the District have
made payments which have lifted
deposits, many high-yield invest
ments have matured. this money
landing In the banks to await favor
able investment.
The war situation abroad and DO
htical uncertainties at home also
are keeping good many bank pa
irons from investing their funds at
this time. One of the biggest fac
tors in mounting deposits is the low
yield on sound investments, bankers
said today. They also note strong
tendency among patrons to build up
savings accounts, regardless of the
low interest paid.
Deposits on March 26, 1910,
The figures just compiled by Mr..
Savage show the following deposits
