AT one time it was round as a cheese. 1t
made girls look like so many Circassian
side-show freaks, but it concealed that final
test of breeding, the ear, so that the girl
with ears that belong TO Lombroso's cata-
logue was as well off as the girl with
veritable classic sea shells on her hat. OF
late the pompadour has taken in its wings
and gone up. 1t no longer conceals the
ears. The idea seems to be to make it as
tail and narrow as possible. To this end
the back hair is nailed fast to the head, and
the coil that used TO appear somewhere on
the crown has disappeared under the foun-
dations of the pompadour. OF course, ii
is extremely ugly, but. as L began by say
ing, it does serve some purpose. One day
last week L took luncheon in a downtown
cafe at a table near two young women
whose pompadours looked like an architects
drawing of a watch tower. When they
had eaten their lunch the one discovered
that she hadn't a cent left in her purse with
which to pay for it. The other dug down
into her wrist bag and brought UP thirty
eight cents.
That's all the change I have" said she,
but wait till l get my wad."
Then she calmly took off her hat. ran
her fingers into her numental pompa-
dour. and brought out a little roll of bills,
"Therei' she said. 81 always carry my
the safest way"
And l wonde how many of the sky
scraping pompadours one sees are stuffed
with wealth.

E. B. BRYAN RESIGNS POSITION.
Health Will Not Permit Him to Re-
.main in the Philippines.

Elmer b. Bryan, formerly a professor In
Indiana University, has resigned the posi-
ton of general superintendent of education
in the Philippines islands and will return to
Indianapolis. Mr.. Bryan has written a
Letter TO State Librarian Henry In which he
says ill health is the cause of his r~esigna-
ton. DIR. David p. Barrows probably will
succeed Mr.. Bryan, according to the Manila
Times. a copy OF which has been received
by Mr.. Henry. The Times quotes General
Smith. secretary of public education in the
Philippines, as follows concerning Mr..
Bryan's resignation:
1.-The fact that DR.. Bryan intends to hand
in his resignation means a big loss to the
government and especially to the 500 Amer
lean teachers, who had so much confidence
in their general superintendent. DIR. Bryan
was not only a scholar but a brick and
with his departure we shall be thrown upon
our crutches, which, / hope, will carry us
through.
1--WE tried in several ways to hold him.
but finally when his serious condition be-
came so apparent we had 10 give up in de-
spair. The education department during
the last few months has been elevated TO a
high standard. Perfect harmony exists in
every branch of the department. all due to
the successful management of DIR. Bryan
Mrs. Bryan and children are now living
in lrvington.
