A. RESCH CHICAGO, Dec. 17. — “Hell 'n Marie” Dawes, world figure of yes- terday, has become plain Com- muter Dawes today. Far from the scenes where he attained international renown, Charles Dawes is more thoroughly a. private citizen, albeit a tre- mendously busy one, than has| been his lot since pre-war days. At 67, his energy undiminished, he has plunged into the job of | guiding Chicago’s newest down-| town bank—an institution capi- talized at $4,000000 which suc- ceeds the old “Dawes bank.” And for the first time in 20 years or more he has achieved al- most complete personal privacy. His friends say he enjoys it. Busy Banker Ever since he left the Recon- struction Finance Corporation last| summer, General Dawes has been | immersed in the day-and-night task of planning the reorganiza- tion of the Central Republic Bank and Trust Company, always known as the “Dawes bank.” Now that institution, which was the outgrowth of Dawes’ first bank- | ing ‘project: in Chicago 30 years ago has been succeeded by the City National Bank and Trust| Company, with the ex-Vice-Presi- dent, as chairman of the board. He held the same post with the Central Republic. Thus “Hell ‘n’ Maria” perenial public servant for the workaday routine of a big city banker. A Commuter Now Like thousands of other business men, he commutes daily from his Evanston home to his downtown office—sometimes on~ the elevated| train, more frequently on a steam railroad line. Only occasionally is he driven to work. in the morning, he usually arrives at his desk about 10. Often he doesn’t get home at night until 6:30 or 7 o'clock. Seldom does he retire much before midnight. Sometimes conferences hold him downtown evenings, his hour of retirement Dawes in- sists on nine hours’ sleep. His social life, never extensive, has been negligible in recent months. Formerly he played golf occasionally, but his clubs have lain idle this year. On politics he has been mum since June, when he squelched re- ports preceding the Republican convention that he might be a candidate . for renomination as the Vice-President. And except for a few statements pertaining to the bank’s reorgan- ization, Dawes has made no pub- lic pronouncements — much less public appearances—since his last 1eturn to Chicago. His associates smile when they recall the statement he made a few years ago when commissioned te study Santo Domingo's curren- cy Leaving home about 8:30 or 9] “I feel that I have one good job left in me.” Since théh he has been ambas- sador to St. James’, chief of the Reconstruction Finance corpora- tion, and leading spirit in the re- organization of a huge Chicago pbank—each task requiring more strength than the preceding ome.” The other day Dawes said the coor of retirement has shut with finality on his political career. «I'm out of politics for good,” was the brusque statement with which he mowed down any sug- gestion that he might be called the G. O. P. hope for the ,1936 campaign. He said they could not draft him for further political ser- wvice. el READ OF FIRST CHRISTMAS The natural way to turn. the current . of your thoughts in the desirable direction is to read the accounts of the first Christmas, Dawes | has dropped the role of an almost | but whatever | iry of feq The former Vice-President and international figure and at right new Chicago bank. i snmmss OF DAY MADE HIM * ONE OF PARTY For years the same old conduc- ‘mx had been on the local train. | He knew every one by name, how long they would stay home, how their families were, what they were | doing.
