W 900 depositors in the savings
banks of the United States hold over
$4,000,000,000. In the last year the
number of savings bank depositors
has increased over 100000. The total
amount of their deposits has risen
1857 100000 in twelve months. The
average amount of every depositors
account is $445, which is nearly $25
more than the average the year be-
FORE
1t is certain that not less than &c.
100000 in bank deposits can fairly
be counted as savings. The national
banks hold about $800,000,O0O of such
deposits. The trust companies have
about $700,000,000 in savings accounts
The state banks hold over $500, OOO-

savings deposits of the country can
not fall under 100000 1000. There
are more than 100000 separate

The contrast between these figures
and the statistics which measure the
savings of other countries is proof Of
the difference between tho ability to
save and the wide diffusion of pros
perity in the United States and the
conditions in foreign lands.
In Germany, for instance, there are

White House Season Formally Opens

to the judiciary will take place, which
a week later will be followed by the
customary dinner to the members of
the Supreme court. Mr.. Justice
Hughes and Mrs. Hughes will attend
these functions at the White House
as guests of honor for the first time.
The reception to the congressional
circles will be on February 7, and as
a dinner to these same people would
be a practical impossibility at the
White House, one is not given, but
President and Mrs. Taft conceived
the idea of giving a dinner in compli-
ment to the speaker when they took
possession Of the White House, and
last year the custom was inaugurated.
The following Tuesday, February
81, the state functions, which last
trif1e over two months, will be con-
cluded with the reception to the army
and navy, an affair which has more
brilliancy than any Of the others, ow-
ing to the fact that most of the men
guests are in fulldress uniform. Most
people are uncertain whether they
prefer to be present at the first or
the last of the receptions, for, Of
course, that given especially for the
diplomats is particularly brilliant.

T. ORMAL announcement of official
/ functions to be given at the White
House during the season has been
made. These official affairs are quite
distinct from those given by Mrs.
Taft when the occasions are sur
round by a more private and personal
atmosphere.
According to established custom the
reception to the diplomat corps will
be given first, and the date chosen is
January 10, to be followed a week
later by the diplomatic dinner At
the reception all persons connected
with the embassies and legations, and
the members Of their families, are in

amount deposited as savings Is about
$550,000,0CO, and the accounts are
about 100000
In Australia there are about 1,500,-

of a race of fearless, sturdy men who
are qualified to cope with the great
problems of life and to furnish the
right sort Of backbone for progress
