but when the father applied for a
copy of the birth certificate neces-
sary to secure the required pass
port, he struck snag. The baby
born on the date specified, was reg
sitered as a girl. The certificate
had been executed before Alexander
Peter was named; consequently the
error had not been detected.

CLARENDON BANK

Trust Company's Offices to

A growth Of more than 100 per

appearance of the existing structure.

Established in 1921, the Clarendon

in the business district of Clarendon,
the building facing the public square
at the intersection Of Wilson and
Washington Boulevards. The insti-
tuition has paid dividends continu-
ously since 1928, l8 months after
it was inaugurated. In 1922 surplus
and undivided profits totaled approx:
mately $4,000. They now total
$55,0O0. Assets totaling approxi-
mately $50o,000 in 1888 have shown
the unusual growth to almost a mil
