NEWBANKBUILDING, - OPENS TOMORROW Columbia National Enters Handsome Quarters—Insti- tution Has Made Progress. BY EDWARD C. STONE. The Columbia National Bank will | throw its doors open for business and 1o special visitors tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, the extensive rebuilding pro- gram having been — ~completed and_the E temporary banking quarters aban- doned. This bank now joins the long list of local finan- institution: which have under gone most pro- gressive changes in recent years and entered the front 1anks of up-to- date, _complete banking firms. The first floor will be given over exclusively to_the officers and tellers the lobby contain ing every convenience for the patrons. The main floor has a high ceiling with a mezzanine across the front. 1In the rear is a lounging room and from the front of the lobby an imposing stair- case leads to the basement where a new | safe deposit department is to be oper- | ated. This department has a safe of | | the latest type with 15-inch doo the | | modern safe deposit boxes, metal booths and grille i The second floor, which has a sepa- rate vault for the bookkeeping depart- { ment, will be occupied by the bank's | bookkeepers and the clerical force. { The third floor provides a large direc- | tors' room across the front of the build- ! ing, with paneled walls and stucco ceil- | ing. To the rear of this are file and | stationery rooms, lunch and rest rooms. {An _electric elevator connects the sev | eral floors. The new bank was de: signed by Appleton P. Clark, jr. con- struction was carried out by the Samuel J. Prescott Co. and the safe deposit vaults_installed by the York Safe & Lock Co. Bank Organized in November, 1886. Following the first preliminary meet- ing on November 2, 1886, the charter | was issued by the controller on Janu- ary 27, 1887. Brainard H. Warner was the first president, serving until April 7, 1891, when E. S. Parker was placed at the helm. On June 8, 1897, Albert F. Fox was chosen president, holding the office until October 16, 1922. He was retired at his own request after the bank had made splendid strides under his long administration. He is still an active member of the board. James A. Messer was the next presi- dent, retiring at his request in May, 1924. He was followed by Frank J. Stryker, the present encumbent. Mr. Stryker began his career at the bottom in the banking profession. His first banking position was with the Commer- cial National in 1905 as a stenographer. He went from there to the Federal Na- tional as sectetary to the president, later becoming note teller and then assistant cashier. He. joined the Co- Jumbia staff in 1922 a8 cashier and vice president, and two. years later was placed in’ charge of the bank. During the past few years the bank has enjoyed steady growth in_deposits and profits and has added $150,000 to surplus. The officers feel that the en- largest equipment means the entry into @ new era of advancement. The pres- ent board of directors is composed of the followmg‘husmass and professional men of Washington: Harry Buke.BwWA Clarence Duvall, John Joy Edson, L. Whiting Estes, C‘. Frank J. Stryker. r.; B. Francis and John N. Weekly Clearings Ahead of 1927. Bank clearings in the United States for the week ending December 3, as reported to Bradstreet’s, aggregated $14,307,842,000, against $16,092,719,000 Jast week and $10,775,768,000 in corre-} sponding week last year. This week's total shows a decrease of 11 per cent from last week, but a gain of 32.7 per cent over the like week & year ago. ‘Washington bank clearings for the ‘week totaled $33,163,000 for the week ended December 3, against the slightly higher figure for the previous week of $34,546,000. The clearings, ‘however, showed an increase of 16.9 per cent over the corresponding week in 1927. Baltimore showed a decline in clear- ings over the previous week and also the same week last year. Richmond had a decline over the previous week but the totals were almost exactly the same as in the corresponding week a John B. Larner, president of the Washington Loan & Trust Co., at- tended the meeting of the trustees of the endowment fund of the National Red Cross Society held here a few days ago. Charles J. Bell is another Wash- ington financier on the board and Sec- retary Mellon is chairman. The an- nual meeting is always held in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury. It was reported at the meeting that the Red Cross endowment fund is now in the vicinity of $6,000,000 and that during the past year a gift of securities having par value of $1,000,000, and now worth a great deal more than that, was received during the year. The in- come from this large sum is used for | Red Cross emergency work. Mr. Larner has been treasurer of the | fund for several years, having been asked to serve in that capacity when John Skelton Williams was Secretary of the Treasury. District Bank Declares Extra. President Robert N. Harper stated yesterday that the directors of the Dis- trict National Bank had declared the regular quarterly dividend of 2 per | cent and a New Year dividend of 1| per cent, both payable to stockholders of record December 22, checks to be mailed December 31 The District National was organized in 1909, having succeeded the private | banking business of Harper & Co. The initial capital was $400,000, and it has been increased on two occasions until | today it has $1,000,000 capital and $800,- | 000 surplus. In addition to this it has| a substantial fund remaining in the| undivided profits of approximately | $160,000. Its first business was conducted at 1415 G street. It then purchased the building at 1404 G street and demolished | it, building upon the site its first bank | H A A Bt ONE MAN IFE (Copyright, 1928, £ 29 2'**+++++++++fi++z For the first time in_her life Yvonne Ross has a friend, Mrs. Edith Ogden, whi is interested in the develcpment of her mind and talents. Yvonne has made a hasty marriage to Richard Ross, a wealthy American sclentist. who married her be- cause he does not approve of modern women. When they were married he made Yvonne promise she would continue ,to wear her Normandy costume and to re- tain her peasant manners. This she has done_faithfully for more than a year. Now she fears she is losing her husband's inter- st. She is also jealous of Anne Lovelace. 1 re Unknown to get an bringinz fevel to change his __(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) INSTALLMENT IX. AVING burned her _bridges, Yvonne went wholeheartedly into the business of getting an education. She meant Richard to know nothing of what she was doing. She told him Mrs. Ogden had a class of little girls whose mothers wanted them to learn French, and that she, Yvonne, was to teach it every after- noon for charity. He was quite willing, suspecting nothing of her real intent. So it was that each afternoon at 2, Mrs. Ogden’s limousine drew up before the Ross house, Yvonne entered it and was | whisked BWway to her tutor’s. Promptly | at 5 she was back, returning from the new world to the old. The first thing, of course, was for | Yvonne to learn to speak and read | English. She pursued the lessons with a sort of passion. Later when she had mastered the first lessons, she carried books home with her, hiding them i the folds of her full skirt and putting them under the mattress of her bed until such time in the evening as she might be able to go to her room to study. She did not neglect her music, but she decided on only one lesson a week instead of the two she had been having. Richard’s comfort must not suffer. Fortunately Yvonne was young and strong. Her peasant constitution stood her in good stead. Often she was up at 4, cleaning, washing, getting her chores done, baking and broiling for Richard's breakfast. After that came the daily trip to market in her little car. Then an hour of practicing before time to prepare the lunch tray which she carried daily to Richard in his work room. Lunch over, another hour at the piano, and then the exciting journey to new studies. Mrs. Ogden wisely left Yvonne to her teacher, a young English girl, for the first few weeks. After that she spent some time each week, making Yvonne talk English with her and giving her lessons in deportment. Yvonne had all the natural instincts of good breeding. She was almost overeager to learn, and at this time took all her efforts with great seriousness. There were times when she caught her breath sharply in fear of Richard's discovering her du- plicity. “But I will cast myself on his good- ness,” she thought. “I will tell him I only did it to make myself worthy of his love. And he will forgive me.” She had no desire beyond fitting her- self to compete with Anne Lovelace, when the time came. Nor did she doubt the time would come. Mrs. Ogden skillfully fostered the ided, and Yvonne’s jealously grew into quite a definite thing. One day & note came to Richard in feminine handwriting. Yvonne read the name in the upper corner, Anne Lovelace. She burned the letter and said nothing to Richard, nor did she feel any sense of guilt when he asked her several days later if she had seen 2 note addressed to him in the mail. It was in the evening after dinner | Richard had been called to_the tele- hone. Coming back into the living x?oom. he said: “Mamemoiselle Love- lace was telephoning to ask us to come there for dinner. Said she had written asking us and wondered why we hadn’t answered.” “The note was only addressed to you, ‘Yvonne thought to herself. Aloud sh’ said: “But I saw no note, Richard. I always put the morning mail on your lunch tray and in the evening it.uwnlt.s for you at your place at the table. “Well, it doesn’t matter,” Richard said yawning. “We ‘wouldn’t have gone anyway. Maybe Anne forgot to have it ‘mailed. Yvonne's heart leaped first for jov: he did not wish then to see this Annc Lovelace. Then it dropped. He could not go and take her because he was ashamed of her. The little incident dissolved the last lingering doubt in Yvonne’s mind nl&out the rightness of er course of conduct. 5 ;nc due time Richard would tire of living always alone. He would want to go out in society. And she ‘would be ready to go with him. She often dreamed of the day when she could tell him, when they could begin to be happy together as other imm'ried men were with their wives. h.Ap?ythe end of three months Yvonne had finished her first and second read- ers. She had a fairly large store of English words_which she could pro- nounce correctly. She had progressed: far enough with her music so that she could sit and play for Richard in the evenings, simple things which he said he liked. His enjoyment of her music gave her confidence, too, that he would not be too hard with her over her having learned other things. The strain of the work she was doing began to show in her face. Mrs. Ogden swooped down on her and demanded that she take a few days’ rest from her Jessons and see some Shows. he Denishawn dancers are giving 8 recital this afternoon,” she said to Yvonne one day. “I have tickets. L?’L us go. It just happens that you haven't seen any fine dancing. I think you will love it.” Yvonne consented, and presently was seated beside Mrs. Ogden in a large ‘hall with a stage heavily curtained in pur- ple velvet facing them. Yvonne watched fascinated while the orchestra tuned up. She listened to the preliminary music with pleasure. As the curtains parted she had no idea that a crucial moment in her life was approaching. She anticipated merely another pleas- ant afternoon’s entertainment. The stage was dim. Lights grew stronger and Yvonne saw figures, lightly ©lad, lying on the stage in poses of the lights brigther, the figures swayed to their feet. The dance began. ber that first number.

After dinner she played | and tried to imagine people dancing to her music.

Richard had | gone to his workroom, saying nothing a slight feeling of bitterness assailed her. Richard was hardly polite to her. But she chided herself for the thought, | and tried to recall all the kindness he had shown her, to assure herself that | his very trust in her was proof that he loved her. Her reason answered. “He trusts you | as he trusts the furniture—because he | does not think you capable of moving.” | Yvonne dismissed these thoughts by | summoning her memory of the dancers. | There was one thing which she must do. | Not even her duty to him could stop | that. | The following day Mrs. Ogden came to tell her an appointment had been ar- ranged for her with a famous master of ballet for the next afternoon. “I've bouight you a costume and some slippers, we must see if they fit.” Yvonne slipped her foot into one of the soft, heelless shoes: “It is just right,” she said. “And will I wear that?” She held the wisp of chiffon up to | her chin. “It hardly covers me,” she half protested. _"All dancers wear them. Don't be self-conscious, Yvonne.” Somehow Yvonne got through the hours before the appointment. She tubbed herself, washed her hair, scrubbed her fingernails and groomed herself until she radiated health and cleanliness from every pore. Then they were in the car, then they had stopped before a dingy building, then they had climbed steps and steps to the very top, where under a huge skylight the master had his studio. Girls were practicing, some of them at the bar, others doing limbering ex- ercises, others perfecting some intricate step. Mrs. Ogden went with Yvonne to a dressing room. She exclaimed at the sight of the girl in her dancing garb. “You have a marvelous figure, Yvonne,” she said. Yvonne flushed. She thought herself too thin for real beauty. She could not know that her years of hard work out of doors had trained her muscles, tapered her ankles and thighs, sloped her shoulders delicately, so that she was near perfection in beauty of form. Half ashamed of her bare arms and throat, she followed her mentor to the | dancing floor. The great teacher looked her over much as he might examine a fine-horse. “Good figure, good muscles,” he said. He studied her face and permitted him- self a moment of enthusiasm: “The face of an angel!” He led them to an alcove screened by a curtain. “Follow me,” he commanded: He bent and twisted himself, executed some simple steps, leaped into the air, capered around the room. Yvonne fol- lowed him, her eyes earnestly on his movements. “Good, mademoiselle, you are not stiff. But you are shy, modest—listen, it is abandon you must have, abandon, the soul of the dance. Wail He sat down at a piano and began | to play. “Now—skip, faster, faster, with the music.” Yvonne's shyness fell from her. At his command she leaped, she ran, she swayed on her toes, then he stopped as abruptly as he began. “You have had no teaching, made- moiselle,” he said. “That is good. I will be your teacher, You will learn all of the art, as it should be learned.” His voice dropped and he spoke almost in a whisper, “Once in a lifetime, made- moiselle, thera comes to a teacher a woman of genius, fired through and through with the spirit of the dance, You are that woman for me. I will make you the greatest dancer of two continents—of the whole world!” (To Be Continued.) CEiaa DUCE STOPS SENDING PICTURE TO PARENTS Twins Becoming So Common in Italy. Keeping Score of Them Abandoned. ROME, December 15 (#).—Triplets and twins have driven Premier Musso- | lini into taciturnity. Hitherto it has been the Duce’s pleas- ing custom to send an autographed picture of himself to parents who pre- sented the Fatherland with a pair or three of a kind. In one month, how- ever, Rome reported two sets of triplets, while Brescia, Florence and Foggia, an- nounced one each. Twins have become so common that no further score is kept of them. Premier Mussolini ordered a general circular sent to all provinces setting forth that requests for his photograph could no longer be honored. | THEATER IS IN DECLINE.
