When there are student "doings' and chap
erone or helper is needed Miss Towne has often
been selected for the place. And. though she is
naturally busy with the work and responsibilities
of her position she has always cheerfully accepted
though it has meant many hours of extra work for
herself This year, for example, she chaperoned
the rehearsals of the 1915 class play, which pro-
ceeded every afternoon and evening for over
month. She helped to prepare for the senior ban

THE BRYAN HAND
(Anaiyzed by pGlmist unaWore that
il Das Bryan

a A WHOLE, the hand denotes great emo
~ tional qualities, executive ability and utter
freedom OF expression. The width OF the
waist of the thumb indicates complete lack of tact,
and the deastic effect of the index finger is dam
aged by the inward slope Of the top joint-which
means commercalism.
The distance between the index finger and the
second finger is indicative of independence of
thought; independence of action is denoted by the
distance between the third and fourth fingers.
The distance between the heart-line (which
runs from the outside OF the palm up under the
second finger and the headline (which runs d.
rectly below and parallel TO the heart line) be-
speaks thorough broad -mindedness with a lean
ing toward mysticism.
OF the palm from below the heart-ne to the wrist
is over-developed and is a mark OF an exaggerated
imagination.
The slight taper at the end Of the thumb de-
notes refinement. The first phalange of the
thumb indicates a vigorous will; the second sound
logic. and the third strong affections.
The peaks in the middle Of the first phalanges
Of the fingers indicate genius, but the absence Of
squares between the bases OF the finger marks the
owner one who is easily carried away by his own
eoquence-one who forges ahead without fully
Analysing things.
Finally, the little breaks and Jumps in the
hesrt-line denote poignant disappointments.

Tact, Sympathy and Hard Common Sense

Just what qualities go to make up the ideal
dean Of girls is hard to say. Should she be a So
ciety woman in the best OF that term who
will be a model for the students? Should she be
a learned woman who represents the best in higher
education and ranks high in her chosen field?
Must she be woman with human sympathies who
will win her girls? Must she be an administrator
Should she be dragon pocewoman7
Il should answer decidedly no to the latter
two. Undoubtedly she should be a woman of tact
and deep sympathy. These, / think are the two
most important qualities. Tact and sympathy with
good, hard common sense will do more for girls
than anything else / know OF.
'Jollity and good comradeship go far with
girls. But they must be judiciously Ieavened with
frmness. A dean of women girls should know
each girl personally and by name and should have,
ALSO the ability to draw out those that are abnor-
mally sef-centered or backward as we'll as to tone
down those that may be too forward
There a member of board Of
trustees OF certain college who in casting about
for dean of women stated that he wanted "a
woman OF the type of Mary Lyon Emma Willard
and Alice Freeman Palmer He didn't want much
did he?
Girls critical and they are quick to de-
tect artificialty the part OF teacher. Natural
ness is here. as elsewhere. a golden quality.
Il do, indeed look forward with great deal
Of pleasure to the duties Of the position"
Miss Jessie NJ. Towne, dean of girls" did not

She has plenty of ideas on live subjects She

THE BRYAN FACE
By Gutzon Borglum

n N r. BRYAN possesses one of the most dra-
lVI matte faces in American life. AS
vealed by the cast, it is one OF exceeding
strength and determination. Ambition, however,
is not the word with which to describe its traits
1t is face remarkably mature. Nncolns coun-
tenance was old in some features but in other re-
spects 1t was immature. Mr. Bryans eyes, and
especially his mouth, finely mature For
twenty years he has been one of the great Amer
lean orators so that his mouth. which has uttered
millions of phrases, has been shaped into a beau
tiul maturity His face is that of a consummate
artist

GIRLS GET THE DECISION
SIGMAS WIN IN DEP mn
WITH THE CICERONIANS

The Debates Were Real Instruct
and Interesting, and Reflected
Credit Upon the Speakers.
In the public debate between fl.
Lambda Sigma and Ciceronian socio
ties of the Dawson public schools
held last Tuesday night, the girls WIN
represented the Lambda Sigmas we,o
given the decision over the bows WIN
represented the Ciceronians.
The question for debate was "Ro
solved That the United States Shon,s
Own and Operate the Railroads
The Lambda Sigmas, represented h.
Misses Ruth Finn and Mildred Yen'
mans, championing the affirmative
while the CicerOnians, representa-
by Franklin Stapleton and Artbnr
Lewis, championed the negative.
Both of the societies had previone-
ly decorated the auditorium with fbo
black and red of the Lambda SigmaC
and the yellow and black of the Cir.
eronians, and the appearance of tbo
stage and auditorium was very Al.
tractive. The members of the two
societies occupied front seats, either
dressed or decorated in their respect.
i've colors, and they made the wei.
kin ring with their yells and songs
prior to and during the intervals he.
tween each speech, showing their in.
tense society spirit and loyalty IN
their respective representatives.
Each speaker made a vigorous de-
tense of his or her side of the cues
ton and held the attention of the
audience, the speeches showing much
talent and research.
Rev. j. M. Cutler presided over
the debate, and Rev. T. M. Callaway
and Colonels H. A. Wilkinson and
w. H. Gurr acted as judges.
After the debate the judges re-
tired for about five minutes to make
up their decision. Rev. T. NJ. Cal
laway, who acted as spokesman for
the judges, said in giving out the
decision: THE speeches of the
young men were good, as were those
of the young ladies, all showing won
| dGrful research and effort. A mo-
mentous question, that has troubled
the minds of our statesmen, has been
decided, and, as woman has always
had the last say, we give the decision
! to the affirmative.
After the decision the young men
congratulated the young ladies on
their victory, and the members of
the Lambda Sigma went wild with
joy, while the loyal Ciceronians did
not sulk with gloom, but defiantg
waved their colors and left the col
lege firmly convinced that they
ought to have won.
The society spirit in the schools
keeps the pupils interested and
alive and helps make school life a
pleasure instead of a burden.

 indirectly due to the effects of the European war Manager Powell of the Vienna bakery stated yesterday that the bakers while forced to raise the price of bread had arranged to make it as light as possible on the small purchaser, and thus avoid work ling any hardship on the poor. Where
 the raise will really be made will be
