AUTOMOBILE INDISPENSABLE

FINANCIAL GROWTH
 IN U S. ASTOUNDING

Significant is the statement of Comptroller of the Currency Joiln Skelton Williams, in that it gives an index of the marvellous financial growth of this nation during the past decade. In nine years the number of depositors in national banks has in creased 9,OOO,O0O, or from 7,6S6,239 to 19,211 ,249, an increase of 148.7 per cent, or seven times the increase of population. For the past six years the resources of national banks have increased SS.4 per cent and of state banks and trust companies 79.7 per cent. The increase in earnings since 1914 was greater than in the preced- ing 4O years, and resources in the same period grew more than during the 50 preceding years.
 In the matter of immunity from failure, the record since January 1, 1918, was 5000 per cent better than

NATIONAL ROADBU|lD|NC
 CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

The remarkable rate, at which the number of Federal-aid road-building projects has increased since the war is shown in summary relating to all such work from September 30, 1916, to April 30, 1920, which has been pre- pared by the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agricul- ture. On the latter date the States had filed with the bureau 2,885 pro- feet statements, of which 2,79O had been approved, representing 27,796 miles of highway. The totals on April ,3O, 1919, were little more than one third these amounts. Up to May 1 of this year 1874 projects had proceeded to the stage a which plans, specified tions, and estimates had been delivered to the Bureau of Public Roads. The plans, specifications and estimates of ,S27 of these had been recommended for approval, representing 13,S45 miles.
 Construction Work in Progress
 Project agreements had actually been executed and construction work was in progress on 1,569 projects, to- taling 1887 miles. In addition, work had been begun on about 100 projects for which agreements had not actual ly been signed, thus expediting the progress of the work and bringing the total mileage under construction up to 13,54O. The summary shows that a great reduction has been made in the time required for preliminary work before actual construction is begun.
 On the average the States have submitted project statements for near ly 95 per cent of their respective all lotments and have entered into agree ments to construct highways which call for about one-half of their Fed eral-aid money. The projects actual ly completed and paid for are compara- lively few, but they are materially ex- ceeded in number by those which are practically completed. California, Delaware, Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mary land, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Caro- lima, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming have each submitted approved project state ments for all or nearly all of their al- lotments. -.

for the 40-year period prior. In the
 last fiscal year there was no failure of any national bank in the entire
 United States involving one dollars loss, to any depositor. It is a signifi- cant fact that the increase in the paid up capital of national banks in the past 12 months has been greater than for any 12 months's period since the beginning of the national banking sys- stem in 1865. The annual increase in the paid-up capital of the national banks of thi scountry during the past six years has averaged 100 per cent
