Randy in Clay County Circuit court here April 6.
 Miss Pugsley was dismissed from the elementary school at Knobel be- cause she had violated the rules, ac- cording to N. E. Hicks, principal. The girl and her friends claim that she had only talcum powder on her face
 National notoriety has been given the case, and Miss Pugsley says she has received thousands of letters from all parts of the country and from per sons in all walks of life sympathizing with her the question.
 The rules were promulgated by the school board last August at the be- ginning of the public school term at Knobel and the case has been called up several times but each time some thing has delayed it.
 It is reported that the school board will contend that the question is not for the courts to decide but is solely under the jurisdiction of the board.

New York, April 4.-(By I. N. S.)-He vamps hereafter will eff feet the "Charlie Chaplin'' hair cut or the semi-pomp, to be in style. That is the decree Of dele gates to the BarberS' convention which just closed here. The rOund-neck hair cut and the ''mil- itary" and "handIe bar" mous- tache also are doomed, they de- cided.
 The "Charlie Chaplin" Is coif- fure which looks as if the razor had slipped on one side and su- perfuouS hair had to be cut upon the other side to even it up. In the "sen1i-pomp" the hairson one side is worn long and combed back over the head.
 And to do all these things to mans visage, the harbers decreed that one ''iron man. is the in evitabIe price. It costs more for a barber to turn out a well groomed man than it costs a beauty IraTlor operator to make over'' a woman'S appearance, the barbers said.

Must Pay Fine
 In InstaIlments

Although a fervent plea was made by his attorney, Joseph Devine, for clemency on the ground that his client was an ex-seryice man, out of work and unable to pay fine, William Crowley, secretary of a club at 289 Lexington avenue, was fined S100 this morning and placed on probation for six months. The S100 fine is to be paid to Probation Officer Mcconnell on the installment plan at the rate of S4 a week
 In his plea Attorney Devine stated that the eX-service men were the last hired and the first fired and that fact that went overseas to make the world safe for democracy was soon lost sight of after their return to their native land. He stated that because the men starved over on the other side people still expected them to starve when they come back
 Judge Boardnan did not aggee with Attorney Devine stating that he thought it was not the fact that a man was an ex-service man or otherwise but that it was the man that counted and he therefore did not agree with the attorney for the defense when he stated they were the last hired and the first fired.
