opened a deposit account with a bank
distant some thirty miles from his
home. the cashier had the curiosity to
ask why he travelled SO far when there
was a branch of the same bank almost
at his door. The depositor smiled
knowingly and replied. Il lodged op-
posite here all the time while this
bank was being built. SO | know it's

rangement of figures. Iron bars he

In a city In the north of England
there is a bank widely known for the
artistic merit of It's doors. Designed
by an eminent sculptor. they are ex-
ecuted in relief in copper or bronze
and appear to represent tableaux from
"Aesop's Fables" and Greek history.
About a week after they were unveil-

balance and took it to a rival bank al

that Democrats were not eligible TO sit
as jurors in Kentucky court.
There is nothing new to allcgc against
Mr.. Powers and especially is there no
effort TO show that he has done any
