STRUCTURE OF COURTS EXPLAINED; HISTORY
SHOWS SUCCESS OF new JUVENILE SECTION

Every citizen, in some capacity,
comes in contact with the courts of
his state. The courts are the great
tribunals of the citizen for the pro-
lection of his personal and property
rights. Their structure is vague to
many people but clearly defined when
studied.
Businessmen may have to resort to
court TO collect a bad debt or
note, or TO settle dispute with fell
low merchant. If one is injured in an
accident, he goes into court to sue the
responsible party for damages.
OFTEN a person has to appear as a
witness to tell what he knows of the
transaction involved in a law suit; or
J if one is unfortunate enough to have
| his pockets picked or his house rob-
bed, he may have to testify against
| the offender
Jury Service Universal.
Then, practically every one not le-
gally exempt, is liable, at one time or
another during his life, to be called
upon to serve on jury, and thus him
| self becomes a part of the regular
judicial machinery.
Finally, if one dies leaving heirs,
| they may need the assistance of the
courts in the distribution of his estate
| or in collecting his life insurance.
These are only a few of the innumer-
able instances which illustrate the
places the courts come in contact with
every citizen.
| The great mas of litigation is dis
| posed of in the state courts. The
jurisdiction of the federal courts is
specifically defined, and within some
| what narrow limits, by the constitu.
ton of the United States.
i Courts in Graduated Order
/ In Wayne county the courts are ar
ranged in progressive series. Al
the bottom of the scale stands the
i justice of the peace courts, which
have jurisdiction over civil suits in
yolving very small amounts and over
petty offenses and misdemeanors.
! The city or municipal court comes
next in line and is presided over by
the mayor 1t has Jurisdiction not
only in the city, but can function ir
the county as well. Violation of city
ordinances, minor misdemeanors anC
offenses and tort cases are tried here
The Wayne circuit court is next il
|, line. 1t enjoys unlimited original jur
isdiction in civil and criminal matters
ana may try all cases over which the
lower courts have no jurisdiction
|, The judge of this court is elected By
popular vote. In many cases the cir
cult court extends over more than on,
county. but in Wayne county the bust
ness here is sufficient to keep ont
judge occupied.
Old Courts Removed
AT the head of the judicial system
of Indiana stands the appellate cour
of last resort, which ordinarily deal!
only with appeals on points of law
, not of fact. 1t is known by various
names, such as supreme court, cour
of appeals, court of errors and ap
: peals. or supreme judicial court
The old courts of chancery, which
administered equity, have been dom
away with in this state and the worl
is done by the circuit court

INSTRUCTS PATRONS
IN USE OF PHONES

The new directory of the Richmond
Telephone company, slightly larger
than that of 1920, is out and has been
distributed among the patrons of the
company. The increased size is partly
due to the altered arrangement of GER
tain portions of the book, according TO
a company official.
The book contains 5000 names, as
compared with 1000 for the last
publication. In 1902 when the com
pany was two years old, only 1890
names appeared in the book With the
introduction of the first automatic
phones in 1908 the patronage had
grown to $3.50.
Approximately. so per cent of the
calls that come in to the trouble de

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
ASKED TO SIMPLIFY
STYLE OF DRESSES
fRv Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. %. - High
school girls have been asked by the
Indiana Parent-Teacher association to
wear a simplified form of dress this
year in the name of higher education.
Mrs. Hence Orme, president OF the
association. today said there was no
other reason for the appeal.
I'VE have found that many girls
have dropped their high school work
simply because they felt they could
not dress well enough to keep up with
their classmates" Mrs. Orme said
What poor girl wants to continue in
classroom where she is surrounded
by others elegantly dressed?
One girl student at an Indianapolis
high school told me during the time
between her entrance and graduation
at least two dozen of her acquaint.
ances had reiin'quished their chance
for an education because they could
not aford to wear the kind of clothing
others were wearing"
Eliminate All FriIls
Mrs. Orme said by the young wo-
men agreeing to simplified form OF
dress and simply arranged hair, that
all fancy shirtwaists, high heeled slip
| pers and silk hose would be eliminat-
ed. The length of the skirt or dress
would be half way between the ankle
| and the knee.
| We want it understood there is
| nothing compulsory in our sugges.
| tons, Mrs. Orme said THE situation
resolves itself into one thing: coop
Grafton on the part of the girls so
that their sisters may continue their
school work. We are not trying to
| drive or boss. We could not do so
if we wished and that is farthest from
our thoughts. 1t is all up to the girl
We plan to work through the girl
scouts and the campfire girls, and ask
them to assume the leadership
Assertions by some girls that they
will lose their popularity with the
boys if they dress plainly are no,
founded on fact. Mrs Orme said
Nine out of every ten boys are un
able to tell the color of the blouse a
girl had on after spending an entira
day in school with her." she said
Boys and men are not close observ
ers OF dress. 1t is only something IN
usual that catches their eyes"

aid are expected to be greatly min
imized by the consolidation of all gov

attending to medical needs and of edu-
eating disa bled veterans, is definitely
fixed under the law creating the vet

the director, rather than between the

al board of vocational training and
the public health service, the three
agencies that formerly administered
aid Independently.

The problem of providing medical
facilities, including hospitals, is re
garded as the most difficult of al
those coming within the jurisdiction
of the bureau Plans already are un
