garded as a magician. and was loved respected, and a little feared. On his arrival at a village, the men at once built him a snow house on a site of his own selection. Trading was usually carried on in an atmos- phere of high good humor; but when a subordinate of Stefanssons took an attitude of superiority, they rob bed him of his goods. Later, these were either returned or paid for: but whether this was due to repentance or a wholesome fear that Stefansson, the magician, would send sickness upon them. is an open question. The Eskimo dfslikes anything very hot, and more hot food is eaten in sum mer than In winter. The phonograph failed to interest them; it was just a miracle which they accepted as read fly as any other miraculous happen ing, and they would drift into talk of the fleshpots while 1t was playing. Stefansson Is insistent on the warm, well-nourished and happy life of the Eskimos; and, with one roguish eye cooked upon the missionaries, he remarks that, Tt is one of the ano- malies of our world that 1t should take the efforts of so many self denying people to awaken the wretched to a consciousness of their wretchedness.

Dignity Dominant Character istic of the Founders and of the Men Who Now Conduct Affairs of This Time-Honored Institution
By RICHARD F. JOHNSTON

Massive simplicity adapted to ser vice marks everything about the re- modelled and enlarged home of the Birmingham Trust and Savings conn pany, in which 1t will be again serv- ing Birmingham tomorrow morning.
 The quarters are roomy. The finish Is elegant. but there Is no filagree. It is typical of the pioneers who founded the bank>ln 1887 and lent to 1t an impress which has never left 1t.
 Its growth from surplus of sS6,000 and 374S,237 of deposits Tn 1898 to surplus of $700.000 and deposits of $12.1S8, 900 in 1922 has been the growth of Birmingham. Each was built on the foundation of. sturdy conser- vatism, confident but practical, ideal istic but prudent. As trustees for the money of other people the Bir- mingham Trust has acted for them as for its own fortunes. A thrill went through the community In 1887 when it became known that the founders of the city had organized a bank with ~whole" half million of dollars. That was more to Birmingham than Slo,- 60o, 900 now. But along with the thrill there was an underlying be- lief that the men who had built Bir- rningham were also building a great financial institution. It has been proven.
 Stages of Growth
 During the first IS years of the banks existence 1t grew from one of $500 GOO to $3,8s7 .000. Various stages of It's growth may be summarized in the following statement of its sur plus and deposits on the dates named:
 January 10. 1S9s-Surplus $S6,00o, deposits s74s,237.
 January 12, 1903-Surplus s125,o00, deosits s2.7S1,3S7.
 January IS. 190S-Surpius $250,O00, deposits sS.716.61s.
 January IS. 1913-Surplus s6oo,ooo, deposits s5,424,295.
 January [, 1s1S-Surplus s65o,ooo, deposits s1o,167o22.
 January !, 1922-Surplus S700,000, deposits STRESSES.
 Tota lresources are thus seen to have reached S1S.33S.S45 In all this time the bank never missed paying a dividend and has paid to stoclShold- CTS since organization total Of t1.sSo, 900.

 If Is difficult to put Tn words the effect of the marble columns-eight of them-in the front entrance on Twentieth street. They came from the new Gantts quarry at Sy1acauga, this state and attest the beauty of the Alabama product. The eight are evenly distributed along the 90foot front. Over the marble entrance Is poised a marble eagle. Great bronze doors after the best masters in the world open into the spacious lobby. Inner doors, easily swinging, are an improvement over the revolving method.
 Spacious Lobby
 The lobby Is 56 feet deep and 84 feet wide. Looking up to glimpse whence comes the flood of light glow Ing on the marble wainscoting and lighting up the mahogany finish one sees B feet above him a large sky light making the entire interior q pleasant place in which to work.
 The galleries, which constitute the second floor of the lobby. open on the expanse of lighted space and are as airy as any part of the build ing To the right of the entrance are the desks of the officers In the open with only one room for the president. On the left is the desk for the open ing of accounts Right in front on entering the bank Is a marble bound information desk, which will also serve many other useful functions such as providing with check books, attending to bond coupons and the like.
 Delft Teller Arrangement
 The tellers are ranged on the left and rear of the lobby. The tell CTS will each receive money and pay it out, thus enabling the customer to transact all his business at one win dow. There are 13 teller windows with the initial letters of customers So evenly distributed as to avoid congestion at any one window, and there are several windows for pay rolls and large deposits independent of the general run of business.
 Bookkeepers are back of the tellers in a large and roomy area as we'll lighted and ventilated as any part of the building. The tellers and book keepers have every facility for in- stantaneous bookkeeping.
 Savings Department
 On the right of the lobby are the windows of the discount and eN- change forces. At rear of the lobby is a passageway leading to the Sec ond avenue entrance. The savings department is located in the Second avenue wing with desk for head of that department immediately on en- tering. This arrangement is an ex-

 Head of this bank is much like the founders and the preceding pres fdents. He is quiet, unobtrusive and unaemenstrative, but people who know Arthur W. Smith know that what Is entrusted to him and that over which he exercises control and supervision Is as safe as though 1t were hidden in the penetralia of the Rock of Gibraltar. Is 1t any wonder

 marks that the Eskimos unspoiled by
 civilization live a great part of their
 lives in a climate whose temperature
 is from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. That is what a thermometer In one
 of their snow houses registers; and
 when they go into the open they are clad in two layers of fur that must
 maintain the body heat at a tropical point, in short, indoors or out, the Eskimo and the Sicilian live In the same climate. But our anthropol- ogist does not rest here; he observes that the natives who have .eome under the influence of civilization. and who live in porus houses and dress in porus clothing. mature much later. Among the northern Indian tribes. who live in Wigwams and are poorly clothed, the age of maturity is quite as high as among the north European whites. Thus he accounts for the apparent exception to estab- lished theory.
