Il still am attorney for all

as I'm concerned, the receiver
ship actions still stand in cir

That the suits do remain in cir
cult court was affirmed by Judge
Chamberlin. AS relied in probate
and superior court five without
Chamberlin'S approval, they can not
be recognized by those courts.
Tries to Refile
Ogden. through his deputy,
Charles Werner, had filed the re-
ownership suits on behalf of the
banking department for the City
Trust Company and the Washing
ton Bank and Trust Company with
Judge Chamberlin in circuit court
Wednesday.
Symons came to the court Thurs-'
day afternoon and secured dismissal,
paying the costs with his personal
check. He then filed the City Trust
receivership in probate court and
the Washington in superior court
five.
Judges of both of these courts
were defeated for reelection and
will retire from the bench Jan. l..
Chamberlin remains on the bench.
But Symons refused to explain
this mysterious action. It had been
reported at the statehouse earlier in
the day that move was to be made
by him to secure these receiverships
for his assistant, Thomas D. Barr.
SymOns' Term Ended
/, Symons' term of Office expired
Oct. /, and he has not been reap
pointed by Governor Harry G. Les
lie. It was reported some time ago
that Barr, at one time banking
commissioner, was to take the chief
tainship again.
Appoio. tment as receiver for either
Barr or Symons would settle that
difficulty, as the appointee would
leave the department. Receiverships
long have been "fat pickings" in the
way of fees in Marion county.
SymOns Is Reticent
Informed of Ogden'S refusal to
consent to change of courts today.
Synons still refused to offer any
light on his action. He commended
that he has the right to dismiss
such suit without consent of the
attorney-generaTs Office.
Ogden is member of the board
of trustees of the City Trust Com
pany.
Both banks closed recently.
County Clerk George o. HutSell,
himself a depositor in the City
Trust Company, said Thursday
afternoon he, too, would inyesti-
gate circumstances of transfer Of
suits.
Arriving at his Office this morn
ing, Barr vigorously denied he was
seeking the receiverships and said
he was not a candidate for any re-
ceiverships so long as hold this
Office"
However, he did not remove the
element of mystery surrounding the
transfer of the suits.

Worship Of
Fine Figure
Is Pathetic
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
In the old days a girl who pined
away and died for love was TO-
mantle figure. Many heart grieved
over such a fate. But what can be
said of the modern girl who kills
herself because she can not retain
the slender figure required to en-
gage the attentions of Broadway
Is she not thousand times more
pathetic? The poor girl who dashed
herself to death has her prototype
in thousands of others who are kill
ing the things of the spirit for those
Of the body 1t is for them We should
weep, because they are missing the
very essence of living.
They are casting away the Splen-
did gift of life for something as
ephemeral as the impression of a
raindrop on water.
Body Doomed to Decay
When women have so many OPP
portunities for happiness. it is not
only strange, but sad that they
should put forth their best efforts
for things which, in their very
nature, have no permanence.
The one truth from which none
of us may escape is that the body
is doomed to decay. All our butter
fly flutterings, all our wise ponder
ings lead only to this.
The beauty, grace and charm Of
youth always has been alluring. But
perhaps never in the history Of the
world have they been so exploited
for money.
Perfection Is Demanded
Chorus girls and movie stars must
keep to certain weight, have a GER
tain sheen upon the hair, and a
certain loneliness of skin. Why?
Because the general public pays
money to look at them and the gen.
eral public demands perfection.
The old Greeks loved beauty be-
cause it was beauty. Modern
Americans love it mostly because 1t
fills their pockets %ith gold. Be-
tween the two IDEAS there is vast
gulf and vast ignominy.
When masses of women yearn for
figures that screen perfectly rather
than for those that can bear fine
children, we may we'll ask of our
selves-whither goes America?
