"A modest paragraph that appeared
in the annual report OF the Comptroller
of the Currency, just issued, puts the
banking power" of the United States
in 1922 at $s0,l75,000OO0 against $24,-
34l ,O00, 900 at the beginning Of the war,
$lO68s, 100000 in 1900, $500, 900, 600
in 1890, and approximately 81, al 600
600 in 1870. Our share of world bank
ing power is now estimated at approx
mately SO per cent, against TN per
cent in 1870. Our banking power in
1922 is more than double that at the
beginning Of the World War. *
What Banking Power Is
What is this mysterious something
which we call banking power" and
the equally mysterious and even less
tangible economic factor which we
call credits" which are closely re-
lated to banking power? Banking

payment OF the various sums. which
he desires to pay, sends them through

venience passes thin into the hands OF
his own bank or utilizes them in max

several days later they are charged
against the balance created by the loan

Dwight F. Davis Plans
ennis For Sandlotters

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Development of
(sand lot tennis players-applying
that baseball term to the court
sport-will be one of the features of
the administration of Dwight +.
Davis as president of the United
States Lawn Tennis association to
which position he was elected today.
A national campaign to stir inter-
est in the tennis played on municipal
courts with national championship
tournament for public parks players
late this season are among Mr.. Davis
immediate plans.
DR.. Davis proposes a national sur
vey of park tennis conditions of the
larger cities of the country in his
aim to prove the playing facilities of
those centers not now up to the
standard of the more progressive
tennis cities such as Philadelphia
and st. Louis.
Sectional bodies of the association
will be asked to start soorf their can
vass of conditions and to solicit the
Co operation of municipal governing
bodies.
Court literature, moving pictures
and other fractional material will
be supplied by the association.
Eligibility rules for the initial
championship tournament and selec-
ton of the site and dates for it will
he announced later. President Davis
intends that a large silver vase tro-
ply, now held by St. Louis as an
intercity prize, will be donated for
the new championship.
