WILL LEAVE OLD QUARTERS.
Filth Nalonal Bank Decides 10 Nova 10 the lr-
dus.rial Trust Building.

The Fifth National Bank. which for
nearly so years has occupied rooms in
the Arnold block. North Main street
WILL after the middle of September. re-
move 10 the Exchange street and Ex-
change place corner of the Industrial
Trust company building. The removal
will mark a change In the policy of the
bank. which will broaden in the effort
for more trade.
The advance of trade has left the
bank a little outside the regular path
and IL is TO get back into the road
again and 10 obtain it's share of busi-
ness that the change is to be made.
The new quarters will place the bank
on the ground floor. while II is now on
the second floor and on a street TO be
much used for business traffic, where IL
Is now on street from which much
trade has departed. The change was
decided on some time ago. and IS being
carried on by committee including
Vice President +. NJ. Mathewson. s NJ
Knowles and q. w. Parks of the board
of directors.
The bank, which was originally the
Mechanics and Manufacturers Bank
was established in 1927. and entered the
national banking system under the
name OF the Fifth National Bank
March 80 1865. At that time the actual
capital OF the bank had reached S2SS

Mr.. Shaw-Lefever are among the light
weights. Sir William Harcourt was the
heavy man of the cabinet. but his six
teen stone Is so diluted by his great
height that he can not be counted
among the fat men. while Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman and Sir III. III.
Fowler are rather men of substance
than rSilly stout men.
There Is not single judge on the
bench at present who can fairly be
considered a "fat man." The nearest
approach to this description in recent
years was Mr.. Justice Cave, whose
seventeen stone was rather due TO his
happy temperament than to any indul-
gence in the good things of the table.
AS a matter of fact he was most alb
stemious man, and his luncheon rare
ly exceeded single egg (Which he
boiled himself) or a sandwich.
Sir James Fitzjames Stephens was a
man of weight, but h was also a man
OF six feet and would more properly
be described as portly than fat. There
are several men OF substance among
our judges OF today, but none who. by
any stretch of fancy or malevolence.
can be called fat.
Perhaps the weightiest man on the
bench Is Sir James Matthew. who
cannot be less than fifteen stone, and
he is closely followed by Lord Justice
Smith and Lord Justice North. each Df
whom turns the scale at over fourteen
stone. The majority OF our Judges.
however, are distinctly lean" men.
many of whom fall short OF the aver
age weight. Justices Willis. Grantham
Wright and Darling are men whose av-
erage weight cannot much exceed
eleven stone.
Among the famous counsel the same
ruie holds good The weightiest of
them all Is Mr.. Sam Pope. who would
be the first TO plead guilty to the
charge ~ being fat. Mr.. Pope's weight
Is not far Off twenty stone (his brother
by the way. was equally stout. and II
is on record that al least once IN
