Growth Of Wealth.

The wealth Of the world grows very
slowly. and the amount Of real saving
Is amazingly small II, for example,
the wealth Of the United States when
George Washington became president
was equivalent to a billion dollars
and that perhaps Is not a bad guess
and this amount could have steadily
earned a little over per cent every
year since this gain, compounded,
would exceed the present estimated
wealth OF iHis country. This means
that all the rest Of the saving and the
gains from new enterprises and a rap
idly increasing population have only
just about balanced the annual waste
and loss True, more than two-thirds
Of the wealth OF nations is still the hui
man machine and not the visible tax

show bow slight IL the annual gain

The London Law Times points out
that the silk gown Of the bench and
bar owes its original use to its having
been adopted as form Of mourning
at the death Of an English sovereign.
On the death of Queen Mary in 1904
the present silk gown was introduced
as mourning and, having been found
more convenient and less troublesome
than the regular dress then worn, has
since been continued. The late Sir
Frederick Pollock Is said TO have ex-
pressed an opinion IN reference to the
ordinary costume Of the bar that the
bench and bar went into mourning at
the death Of Queen Anne and have 80
remained ever since. American courts
adopted the gown along with the Eng
lish common law.

Love Tells Bankers
of a Year of State
"Bank Supervision"
HATTlESBURG EXAMINER DIS
CUSES NEW LAW BEFORE
CONVENTION.

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-"The mush-
roomy growth of new banks and the
rather loose management of old banks,
resulting in numbers of failures and
losses to depositors and stockholders,
made the necessity of adequate bank
ing laws so imperatively evident that
the last Mississippi legislature passed
the law under which we are now op-
erating," said Bank Examiner j. S.
Love, of Hattiesburg, in a speech be-
fore the morning session today of the
convention of Mississippi bankers.
Mr.. Love, responding to an invitation
to deliver an address on the subject,
"a Year of State Bank Supervision"
talked for half an hour reviewing
facts that occurred in various parts of
the state in the banking business that
finally eliminated in the adoption of
a banking law in which was included

latter feature, however, will not be
operative by compulsion until May Is,
and the examiners believe that all are
now prepared to come under it with.

In speaking of some of the features
of the law Mr.. Love said:

lures of the law is having the direc-
tors fully realize their duties and i'm.
posing upon them the necessary OBJ.
legations and the due supervision of
their institutions. 1t is very crafty
ing to the board of bank examiners to
find that in every instance the direc-
tors have accepted this duty and this
obligation and have faithfully and con-
scientiously executed the trust. The
directors of the banks of Mississippi
are now giving strict attention to the
banks affairs They meet regularly,
pass on all loans and are directing the
banks as they should be directed"
Regarding the number of banks in
Mississippi Mr.. Love said
when the examiners received their
commissions there were 321 banks

London, May 5.-A daring German
submarine raid, made by the Kaiser's
underwater craft which slipped from

trawlers in the North Sea, became
known today. The submersibles fired
upon the boats with their small guns,

marines were of the latest type.
The Russian war office today admit
ted that the Austrians and the Ger
mans have succeeded in crossing the
Dunajey river in Galicia, but says
that the Russians are holding them
now. This is the battle in which the
Austrian and the German reports said
resulted in breaking through the long
Russian line. A correspondent of a
Berlin paper says that the Russians
not only abandoned their first lines of
defenses, but gave up all the villages
in the rear.
Desperate fighting is in progress on
