Kindly give a description Of Watts
Hope" A blindfolded lady sits on the
world and Is leaning on harp Would
like to have her history, and why she Is
called Hope. Mrs. 5. IL Is.
At first glance It Is rather strange
that such a picture should bear such a
title, but the imagery is perfectly true.
The heavens are illumined by a single
star and Hope" bends her ear to catch
the music from the last remaining string
of the Tyre, which is almost shattered.
1t is rather difficult at first to realize
just what Mr.. Watts means to convey
to us from the picture. The picture
looks more like Despair when you
first glance at 1t, because that best
characteristic we associate with Hope,
expectancy" seems entirely lacking
here. But Watts explains that Hope
need not mean expectancy. 1t sug-
gests here rather the music that can
come from :he one remaining cord in
the broken Tyre. 1t is a message to
the people who are almost in despair,
but who still cling to the one thread
of Hope which Is held out as a kind
of last chance, and Watts says this
kind OF Hope prevents Death. And 20
he has put this poem on canvas and the
picture now is very popular.

what Washington-blvd., has q biG

The present lines OF the city form
sort of letter It, the top OF the iec-
ter extending along the river front
while Woodward-ave., with the built
up districts upon either side OF 81,
forms the rest OF the letter. II In tho
opinion OF real estate men that the
future growth OF the city will all IN
he interior corners, gradually bring
ing the lines OF the city limits out In
to triangle with the base along The
river.
Much of this development awaits
the extension Of the transportation
people to live at greater distance
from the city hall. While the princt-
pal problem facing real estate men In
the development OF the city is trans
portation facilities, the extension 81
the watermains and sewers to the out
lying parts Is by no means unimport-
ant. With the present movement TO
authorize bonds for the much needed
improvements along these lines it
seems as II the problem Of getting
ready for the three hundred thousand
additional population that will come
to the city within the next ten years
will be solved.
Detroit real estate Is recognized a.
one of the most profitable and safest
forms OF investment. The conservar
tive methods of Detroit real estate
men In checking any tendency TO
boom values beyond their Legitimate
bounds has been the chief factor In
bringing about this condition. That
is why there Is a big future In Detroit
real estate Notwithstanding the won
derful record of the past ten years.

past few years at rapidly increasing
figures.
To a lesser degree business has

oughfares Of the city. Jefferson-ave.
Grand Riverave., Michigan-ave., and
Gratiot-ave., having felt the impetus
OF the expansion OF the commercial
requirements OF the city.
In the strictly downtown district
the most noteworthy movement oil

the development of Broadway as 9

nized as the section OF the downtown

side of Detroit one can get an idea OF
the magnitude of the business done
by local banks.
In the period from 1900 TO 1910
clearings reported by the Detroit
Clearing House have more than
doubled. In 1900 the clearings were
$427 100000; In 1910 the total clear
ings reported for the city were 1915
100000. The clearings figures are the
best index OF the financial growth of a
city, for practically every transaction
that takes place in the city is record
cd at some stage in the clearings fg-
ures. From the figures shown above
Il can be seen that the volume OF bust
ness transacted In Detroit has far out
stripped even the phenomenal growth
In population.
The gain in the other items that 90
10 make up the bank statements mas
been fully as great. Deposits have
increased from s76,13s,795 in 1900 to
sl45, 200. 900 in 1910. A substantial
portion OF this increase Is In savings
deposits. These have shown a steady
gain even through the panic year. In
this connection 1t must be remembered
that the panic year did not mean much
to Detroit, for the reason that the
automobile development was then
growing at it's greatest rate and De-
troit workmen were kept busy making
motor cars while industries In other
cities were shut down.
The capital and surplus employed In
the banking business in Detroit has
expanded TO meet the greater finan'
cial needs Of the city. In 1900 the

DETROIT GROWTH
As A BANKING
CENTER
Clearances in 1910 Were $915, O00,-
600, Compared To $427 100000
in 1900, or Increase of Nearly
80 Per Cent.
For Every Dollar That Changes Hand
in Michigan, A Dollar Changes
Hand in Detroit.

The Importance of Detroit as a
banking center can best be realized
from the statement that every time a
dollar changes hands In the rest @. the
state OF Michigan another dollar
changes hands In Detroit. In other
words the banking business OF the
city of Detroit Is as large as the en-
tire business done by the rest OF the
state. When one considers the vol.
ume of mining. numbering, farming
and manufacturing interests repre-
sented in the state OF Michigan out.
