A banquet and an address by Hon.
J. M. Moore, commissioner, of agri­culture
and industries, Montgomery,
featured the annual initiation of
seniors in agriculture into the Gam­ma
Sigma Delta, honor society of
agriculture, here Saturday night.
Mr. Moore spoke especially to the
students, telling them of the demand
for young men trained in agriculture
but emphasizing that these demands
are for men who really know how to
render service. He cautioned them
against being too ambitious for high
salaries at the beginning, advising
them to start near the bottom in a
line of work which their preference
is to follow.
The speaker said that the need
has never been greater than now for
trained men along agricultural lines,
and that the field of service being
rendered by men trained in agricul­tural
colleges continues to expand.
Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of
Extension, introduced the speaker.
Prof. W. D. Salmon acted as toast-master.
Prof. M. L. Nichols, presi­dent
of the local chapter of Gamma
Sigma Delta, delivered the welcome
address, and C. M. Kearns, of 51c-bile,
delivered the response.
Gamma Sigma Delta is a national
honor society of agriculture but tiie
Auburn chapter is the only one in
the South. To be eligible to mem­bership
students must be among the
upper one-fourth in grades. In JMI-dition,
they must have taken an ac­tive
part in student affairs, quali4;;-
Th'g themselves to be leaders.
The students initiated Saturday

For the first time the famous ne­gro
quartette of Tuskegee Institute
will put on a program over Station
WAPI, beginning at 8:00 P. M., Sat
urday, March 6, according to announ­cement
made today by Prof. L. N.
Duncan, director of the station.
This quartette is nationally famous
and never fails to make a big hit.
While their program will be arranged
in advance, provision will be made
for answering requests which come
in by long distance telephone and by
telegraph.
COL SAM WILKES
MAKES TALK, TO
UPPERCLASSMEN
"The present railroad situation of
today is continually met with an in­crease
of business, this being made
possible by the splendid cooperation
of the Amei-ican business man," Col­onel
Sam W. Wilkes, Publicity agent
of the Atlanta and West Point, and
the Georgia Railroads, declared at
the convocation exercises fpr upper-classmen.
The speaker was introduced by
Dr. Spright Dowell, who told of the
forty years of service that Colonel
Wilkes has rendered in this field and
of his constant loyalty to his profes­sion.
Colonel Wilkes is a native of
South Carolina and is a retired col­onel
in the national guard. Preced­ing
the address, Dr. Judd, dean of
the education department, made an
announcement in regard to summer
school, urging all students to file their
applications early as a large atten­dance
is expected.
Colonel Wilkes told of the wonder­ful
era in the world history in which
we live, and of the many modern
changes that have been made in rail­road
transportation. "Formerly it
was hard to stop a train and it was
to a certain extent dangerous to ride
on a train, but today a person is
perfectly safe with the new compress­ed
air brakes that insure safety. In
every respect the comforts of the
home have been transplanted to the
pullman coach and the dining car.
"The railroads have had several
big jobs to handle and each time
have done them successfully. When
the United States entered the world
war, the big problem arose as to
how the railroads would handle the
big business that confronted them.
The first fraternity night will be
inaugurated at WAPI tonight when
the members of the Alpha Tau Ome­ga
fraternity broadcast. The A. T.
O.'s will broadcast from 8 until 9
o'clock. The beginning of fraternity
night at WAPI will be heralded by
all the fraternities on the campus as
each fraternity will be given one
night to broadcast.
The program to be rendered by the
A. T. O. fraternity is as follows:
Introduction of the chapter to the
radio audience.
Roll call of all the members in
the chapter.

POLITICAL NOTICE
"Katy" Elliot announces his can­didacy
for May Queen. It is to be
remembered that he ran second in
the race last year, and he is asking
for the cooperation of all his staunch
friends in the coming campaign. Lets
?et behind this noble man, and put
him in the honored position which
has been the ambition of his life to
attain.
(Paid Political Advertisement.)
The railroads were over crowded but
regardless of all obstacles, traffic
moved on to its destination, through
the unification of the locomotives.
After the war the railroads were
praised very highly for the big task
which they handled so well.
"Whenever questions and disputes
arise the interstate commerce com­mission
settles (hem in a fair man­ner.
This commission really acts as
a compromise between two extremes."
In' conclusion the speaker paid high
tribute to Alabama, declaring it one
of the foremost states in this coun­try.
He also paid high tribute to
Alabamas great heroes, Admiral
Raphael Semmes, and General Joe
Wheeler. "I will never forget the
day that I knew Alabama and its peo­ple,
as this name is synonomous with
culture, refinement, and splendor."
The fairest Village was regaled
last Tuesday night with one of the
rare local appearances of a "real
play-acting company," said company
presented the old hit "Adam and Eva"
for the delectation of the assembled
multitude.
The plot, which was not especially
involved nor difficult to unravel,
concerned the traditional tired busi­ness
man who wished to forget his
family for an indefinite time. In­stead
of adopting the ordinary pro­cedure
of spending a few blissful
hours of forgetfullness nightly at
the Follies or the Scandals, this gen­tleman,
who, incidentally was in the
rubber trade, resolved to take his
forgetfullness in a big lump and go
to the wilds of South America. Find­ing
that one of his associates, a
young, tall, handsome, dark, etc.,
etc., was tired of the Amazonian
jungles and wished for the peace of
family life, the rubber man swapped
his family for a trip to the crooel,
forests where monkeys were monkeys
and proud of it.
With the knight of the check­book
on his way south the new head
of the family is faced with the re­sponsibility
of making several total
strangers bow to his will and with
the added responsibility of making
the mlike it. And that, ladees and
gentulmen, is the plot. Of course
there is the usual love scene, burglar
scene and other scenes without which
no play of this type could survive.
The tait, handsome hero gave a
passable performance and could say
"you're wonderful" in a voice that
would send a thrill even into a Co­eds
heart, while his eventual bride,
Eva, was quite easy to look on, had
a voice of such sweetness that many
a hardened Sophomore was seen to
lift his eye and sigh amourously. Old
Mr. King, the rubber magnate, play­ed
the role of the irascible father
very well, and seems to be more
acquainted with the Thespian art
than any of his colleagues. The oth­er
two male characters, Clint and
Lord Algy (who talked as the tradi­tional
Englishman always talks and
the real Englishman never does)
started out as idlers and worthless
neer-do-wells, and ended up by show­ing
their manhood and facing the
music in a way that would delight a
Sunday school superintendent. Clint's
wife, who was also Mr. Kings daugh­ter,
was very passable in looks, but
let us draw the curtain of charity
there. The maid, who was supposed
to act the role of a kind of refined
idiot, played her part to perfection.
A venerable Pathe news, showing
fleeting glimpses of the 'Bama-Wash-ington
game and other up-to-date
matters, and a hoary film depicting
life around Auburn back somewhere
near the Paleozoic era completed the
program.

A book that is invaluable and in­dispensable
to the housewife has just
come off the press. This book,
"Menus For All Occasions," was writ­ten
by Miss Dana King Gatchell,
assistant professor of home econo­mics.
The purpose of this book is bet­ter
expressed in the preface than
can be given otherwise. This piece
of work comes as the result of re­quest
of my many friends and ac­quaintance
for help. "What shall I
serve for my party?" "Tell me how
to do this," "What shall I serve for
dinner etcs.?" Have been asked me
many times and in response to these
and many more questions this has
emerged from my pen.'
The purpose of the book is two­fold.
First, to aid the hostess in
finding something attractive for her
many functions, to give suggestions
for menus and means by which she
can carry them out, suggestions for
decorative showers, Table Service, to
furnish her with a market order for
preparing the menus, giving some
idea of the quantity required to
serve various number people. Second,
To furnish food combinations around
family meals, her company meals and
which a housewife may plan her
formal meals, not only menus
to aid the housewife but any one
whose duty it is to plan menus for
people or groups of people such as
clubs, etc.
This is not a receipe book, but
all the receipes have been tried out
and tested. "May these pages aid to
bestow your hospitality, with less
effort, less worry and more grace up­on
friends and truly be worthy of
the word friend in its real signifi­cance."

PLANS FOR SOCIAL WORKERS

JOURNALISM CLASS
HEARS ADDRESS BY
NEWSPAPER MAN
R. T. Dozier Of Capitol City Is
Guest of Students
T u e s d ay
Declaring that it would be the
height of folly to trust a big busi­ness
to uneducated people, as ex­perience
and foundation are very es­sential;
and to meet the demand the
newspaper field requires educated
college journalists, R. T. Dozier, vet­eran
newspaper man, stated in his
address before the combined classes
in Journalism last Tuesday.
The speaker was introduced by
Professor Hugh H. Grant, head pro­fessor
of journalism. Mr. Dozier
started his newspaper career with
the Augusta Chronicle, he has also
reported on Chicago and Omaha pa­pers,
being connected with the As­sociated
Press in the former city. He
is now the Managing Editor of the
Montgomery Journal.
At the start of his address the
speaker told of how he resigned his
job to accept a newspaper position,
although the pay was considerably
less. The only reason that he could
attribute to doing this, was that he
loved the profession and decided to
follow it regardless of pay. In the
course of his talk he told of what
constituted a good journalist, and
discussed some of the experiences
of a newspaper man.
''All thought is stimulated by news
stories in this generation and the big
problem is to be accurate and relate
the true story. A good reporter
must have a nose for news and must
realize what constitutes news. He
must consider that the average per­son
is only a high school graduate,
so the story must be written so that
it is plain and wpll understood. There
are many stories that the doctor of
philosophy understands, but the
world at large fails to comprehend
the meaning. Don't be careless in
your work, and always use simpli­city.
The faculty to write requires
continuous practice, and this alone
causes many reporters to fall by the
wayside.
"In no respect do I agree with
the old theory that a college trained
man will not make a success in the
journalistic field. Adolph Ochs, own­er
of the New York Times spends on
an average about $50,000 a day to
print his paper, and if he trusted this
enormous enterprise to uneducated
men it would be the height of folly.
A person can't be taught how to be
a reporter, as one has to work out
their own methods of procedure. A
reporter must see and understand
human nature, as his job throws hmvj'Samford, Opelika, Dr, Dunbar Ogden
into conflict with all classes of peo­ple.
"Last but not least a man must
have pride in his profession, and if
you are in the newspaper game, be­lieve
that you are representing the
greatest profession in the world. The
paper in a most powerful agency and
is continually exerting influence in
various ways. There is a probability
that if there had been no newspa­pers
in 1914, there would have been
no world war. The paper is a great
instrument for harm or good, and
you must remember that the first
impression written can't be erased,
so accuracy and the truth can't be
stressed too much. Don't look down
on the newspaper because it is sen­sational,
as the Holy Bible is as sen­sational
as any news story that has
ever been written.
who does her own work, a book for
reference and is being used as text
book in the home economics depart­ment.
This book is divided into two
parts. The first part is "Menus for
all Occasions with Menus, Prerequisi­tes
for Service, Food preparation,
Table Service, Market Orders."

Once again the student body has
recovered from the shock it received
Saturday when it learned that the
entire faculty of the agricultural de­partment
of the college was doing
some real, honest manual labor on the
street which leads from Comer hall.
No incident since the foundation
of the college has' shown more of a
cooperative spirit than these men
showed when the call for aid was is­sued.
Dean Funchess, dean of agri­culture
did not stand back and say
"Go to it boys" but said "Come on
boys and let's put it over." When
the faculty was working, one mem­ber
felt'just as important as anoth­er.
The entire group had one goal
in mind and that was to get the work
done in order that another call would
not be made on a later date. In
all there were twenty-six professors
working on one piece of work at the
same time.
This deed did not only show the
officials of the college that the fa­culty
of agriculture was interested
in the improvement of the college
and campus but it proved to the
students of agriculture that their
"Profs" would back them up in a good
and noble deed. Some weeks ago
the members of the "Ag" club voted
that they would spend an effort to
improve the street which leads to
Comer"haIl by stopping the car traf­fic
on the street and paving it so
that the tramping could be done on
it instead of on the lawn.
The students of agriculture agreed
to do the work of paving free of
charge if some one would furnish
the cement. The cement was sup­plied
by Dean Funchess and the work
was begun by the students immedia­tely.
When the work was started a re­quest
was made by the members of
the Ag club and faculty members of
agriculture that all traffic on the
lawn be stopped at once. This re­quest
was obeyed by almost every
student as soon as they were inform­ed
abqut what was being done to
improve the lawn. The students car­ried
the work on at a nice rate dur­ing
hours when they had no classes
until the work was about three-fourth
done.
Last Saturday a resolution was
passed by the staff that every agri­cultural
professor of the college
would be notified to meet and finish
the job of paving the street. N«t a
member of the faculty failed to show
his interest in the work and they com­pleted
the job. To see those fel­lows
work recalled the "log-rolling"
and "corn shucking" of long ago.

It seems from press reports that the
University of Alabama is not satisfied with
one innovation, but, being inspired per­haps,
by the recent prowess of her re­presentatives
on the Pacific Coast, is push­ing
forward into new fields of activity.
It will be of interest to the readers of
The Plainsman to know that $50.00 could
be raised at the University for a prize in
a song contest, and that three people-all
men-who could qualify as judges in the
contest, were found on the campus.
The contest is in progress and by a
process of elimination the number of songs
thought worthy to take the place of the
"Alabama Swing," which they plan to dis­card,
has been reduced to four. After
further scrutiny two of these will re­ceive
the death kneel and then the fun
will start.
The two songs, which in the mind of
the judges, are most worthy to follow the
revered Alabama Swing will be put up and
tried. They will be sung by the glee club,
and played by the band, and "talked about'*
until they are quite well known to every
body on the campus, then they will pass
before the final tribunal. By a vote of
the student body one will be^hosen as
Alabama's college song and one will be
relegated to the trash heap.
THE STUDY SYSTEM AT PRINCETON
College periodicals are of every type and
degree of excellence, and there are about
900 of them. There are humorous jour­nals
which sell widely even outside the
college circle, with great profit to the edi­tors,
and there are literary monthlies which
appear unheralded and unsung, to circle
among the literati of the campus. Then in-between
type of publication the campus
newspaper, daily or weekly, with local news
and gossip, and editorials dealing with col­lege
problems.
One would think that from these media,
a composite picture of college life, thought
and achievement could be drawn. This
is exactly what several enterprising young
men from Baltimore have done, and will
do monthly hereafter, in a pleasantly pre­sented
magazine called the Intercollegiate
World. It is their aim to print not only
stories and poems of especial merit, but
to have many articles of discussion of col­lege
problems, departments of educational
and general news, athletics and humor, and
each month two or three articles by pro­minent
men on topics to interest a col­lege
audience.
In the January issue President John
Grier Hibben of Princeton University
writes at some length on the upper-class
plan of study recently undertaken at Prin­ceton.
It is one of the fullest and best
discussions of the plan and what it pro­mises
in difficulties and achievements that
has appeared.
After one year of trial for the new meth­od,
President Hibben is confident that
i t will prove a great advance step.
Owing to the many wild rumors con­cerning
the number of men dropped from
the University as a result of the June ex­aminations,
and to the evident misunder­standing
of the method and purpose of our
new plan of study, I should like to dis­cuss
this subject at length and to disclose
the reasons underlying our rules and Stan­dards,
as well as the main objective which
we'jhave in view. I often hear the criti­cism
that at Princeton we are too rigor­ous
in the standards of scholarship. It
is a graduate standard based on the very
simple and reasonable consideration: that
the standard of scholarship should be low­er
in the Freshman year than in the Sopho­more
year, and lower in Sophomore year
than in Junior and Senior years.
By Sophomore year, the college, expects
something better than the mere escaping
of actual failure.
It seems absurd that a corporation into
which a young man goes immediately af­ter
he leaves college should be able to
exact from him eight to ten hours of
diligent, faithful work each day, and no
one think of criticizing it; whereas many
of our young men here at Princeton, or
in fact in all other universities, will com­plain
that, if they do three hours of work
every day outside of'their class-room du­ties,
it is placing too heavy a burden upon
them.
President Hibben explains in detail the
eminently just, and even lenient, system
which governs promotion from Sophomore
to Junior year. "We expect a man's work
from our Juniors and Seniors." The stand­ard
is higher because the student is by now
working in the fields of his own choosing,
in which he therefore has special interest.
But the new plan of study is far more
than a mere raising of standards, says
President Hibben. It is a radically differ­ent
method of teaching and of study, based
on the fundamental principle that students
in college should be trained to meet the
actual conditions which they will find in
their professional and business careers as
soon as they leave college.
The student must learn to drive steadily
to the heart of any subject, to discern be­tween
the essential and the unessential;
not to acquire facts only, but to form the
habit of estimating the value and signi­ficance
of facts and their bearing upon
life.
The very fact (President Hibben jcon-cludes)
that he is treated like a man and
is given the freedom of his own initiative
will naturally evoke the best that is in
him.
President Hibben also mentions the in­teresting
fact that a committee of Dart­mouth
Seniors sent out "last year by the
President of that college to report to him
concerning other colleges'i curricula and
methods of study, unanimously recom­mended
the adoption of a course of study
for the Junior and Senior years at Dart­mouth
which is substantially that now in
force at Princeton.
—Review of Reviews.
IN DEFENCE OF THE COLLEGE
STUDENT
What does the average college student
aspire to be? What would he like to be?
And what is he actually? These three ques­tions
have recently been brought to mind
by an inventory of the expressions of
each cadet at Tech about some close
friend.
It must be granted that human nature
is inclined to flatter; so judgment without
some concessions cannot be made from
the mere facts, for the expressed views
which give rise to the stated questions
would have us believe that every college
student is exceedingly popular with both
sexes, industrious, illustrious, intelligent,
sacrificial, attractive, handsome, roniatic,
sure of success, and anything else one
might think of as being descriptive of the
perfect type of man. To speak in the
college vernacular, each cadet is a "heart
breaker," "hard worker," "scribe," "knock
out," "sure hit," and "all 'round good
scout."
Undoubtedly every college student that
has any ambition at all is desirous of pos­sessing
as many of these stated qualities
as possible. Popularity rests on personal­ity,
the latter being universally regarded
as a prerequisite of success; the willing­ness
to work is likewise necessary to suc­cess;
intelligence is undoubtedly so; but
"good looks" and love are not essential.
Upon the word "sacrificial" hinges, per­haps,
one of the most important factors
in life. One who is willing to do all he
can to help his fellow humans usually has
most of the essentials of true success un­der
his control.

student. If he comes to college of
his own free will, he seeks training of
intellect, personality, and the rest. If he
is sent/to school by someone else, he is
sent by one who hopes he will absorb
them, knowingly or unknowingly. But,
regardless of primary motive, the average
student seeks these attributes before he
has reached the time of his graduation—
if he does not, his time at college has been
worthlessly spent. He may desire to be
more popular than intelligent, more in­telligent
than industrious, more industrious
than sacrificial. No matter what the
main aspiration may be all are strengthen­ed
and enlarged to some extent. Though
some few may devote their attention to
more frivolous cultivations, the majority
are serious in their self-development, and
not nearly as prone to waste time, "sow
wild oats," fall in love and climb out
again, and have a "corkin' good ..time" as

Crystals
Now that the station is going full blast
there should be a great increase in the
sale of crystal radio sets. These sets
are plenty powerful enough to hear the
station with lots of volumn. In fact the
writer is now sitting with a pair of head
phones on and listening to the enhancing
strains of music that are coming over the
air.
The advantages of crystal sets are
many. In the first place they are without
a doubt the clearest receivers to be found.
There is not a set on the market, regard­less
of cost that can compare with the
clear reception of a crystal set. Secondly
the initial outlay of a crystal set is small
and the head phones will be the biggest
item. And lastly but not least they cost
nothing to operate. There are no batteries
to be bought every three months and no
storage batteries to be charged.
This article is not intended as an ad­vertisement
but merely as a piece of in­formation
to those unfamiliar with radio.
Of course the great disadvantage with the
crystal set is that it cannot cover a range
greater than twenty five miles. That of
course means that no other station than
WAPI cart be heard. But at that they
are having very good programs now and
with high promise of better in the fu­ture.
It should be the duty of every Au­burn
man to listen in on his station and
give favorable or unfavorable reports on
the programs and reception. It must be
remembered that they things that they are
putting on the air are going to all parts
of this continent, and that we are con­stantly
being judged by what we put on
the air. Therefore it up to the boys to
help out those that are running the sta­tion
in every way possible.
In The Year 2000
Behold the Fairest Village of the Plains
in the year two thousand. All the streets
but one are paved, and that is but an al­ley.
The students do not have to go to
classes at all but merely lie in bed and
listen to lectures over the radio. They are
fed by capsules and study while they
sleep. The fire department has a new
truck of the latest design and operates
noislessly. Everything has changed and
only one old custom remains. Gripe.
Limits
Curious as it may seem there are limits
to everything in this world. There are
limits to what man can do, and what beast
can do. There are limits to electricity and
power and all the other agencies that work
for man. There are limits to the amount
of coal that can be mined and there are
limits to the life of the world. Just lately
it has been announced that there are limits
to the universe.
But how does this knowledge that there
are limits to everything in this world af­fects
us. In this way. What are the
limits of your brain? It has a limit but
neither you nor anyone else can deter­mine
that limit. It is only by long ex­perience
and a whole lifetime that it can
be accurately determined and then you
cannot be sure that if things had not
turned out differently you could not have
risen to greater heights.
On this assumption then it is worth con­sidering
the fact that you do not know
what you are capable of doing. It is a
well known fact that in time of stress men
have done things that they would not be
capable of if the stress were removed. In
other words it is worth your time to think
about the things that you could do if you
had to. It gives you greater power to
do the things that you are doing now.
Approximate your limits.
WHY IS IT?
A group of girls and cadets were gath­ered
in one corner of the ballroom con­versing
on nothing of importance, which
is often the case, when one of the group
asked the question, "Why is it that the
girls of today are not as beautiful and at­tractive
as their mothers?" No one at­tempted
to answer the question; no one
attempted to deny the implied fact; and
the majority agreed with it. It seems
that the general impressions and opinions
of all the young men of the group were
the same.
We cannot say with perfect assurance
that the girls of today are not as beautiful
as their mothers, but, granting the truth
of the matter, we will attempt an answer.
In the preceding editorial an effort at
showing the actual ideals and character
of the young men of today was made. If
there is a depth and sincerity in the "make­up"
of the young men of today, it is only-natural
that they should seek the same
depth and sincerity in others, especially
in those from whom they are to some day

Some Sophomore asked me to find out
it is that one other Soph, Snow by name,
always signs his name—Artman Snow and
does not use his initials, as is customary
when writing ones name on the papers
to be handed in.
Who is the fellow whose girl calls him

The Junior C. E. Class is still wonder­ing
why J. Roy Camp's question of the
year has never been answered. Namely,
"How do you tell the time by a sun-dial
at night?"
At the beginning of the year the convo­cation
speakers always spoke on their
"Philosophy of Life" but lately their have
changed their topics. This has aroused
much curiousity among the curious and
they would like to know the meaning of
the change..
"Buck" Burgoyne received quite an ova­tion
the other night when he rendered his
song so nobly in the play given. As he
stepped before the audience with a manful
stride some fair lady in the rear just could­n't
.hold it any longer and had to cry
out, "Oh, Isn't he just too sweet for words."
Now we do not say but just which one
could that have been.
Chap Smith came into class the other
morning and we at once noticed that his
neck seemed to be a little out of line with
the rest of his body. When asked what
the trouble was he mentioned the fact
that he had had a heavy date the night
before and the date almost broke his neck.
Now that can't be right because it should
have been visa-versa.
We are beginning to get more light
thrown upon the subject these last few
days. "Jelly" Wyatt does not go to so
much trouble for nothing. There is only
two more months now before the first
of May and as in times gone by we must
have a May Queen. Now some of us have
forgotten together and decided that we
would rather this man be our choice among
the Juniors. To run such a race one must
have some publicity and the right kind. So
far Wyatt has done nothing except buy
himself a flaming pair of knickers. Of
course this will help out some but at the
same time he must put out all the extra
work required.
How can the Sophomores be so rowdy in
Convocation? They are still young and
can hardly afford to lose their sleep.
Wednesday night a saw mill on the outer
edge of town caught fire and of course

finally get there though and not only acted
as a taxi but really did produce about an
eighth of an inch stream of water.
Who caused the spread of "whooping

experiences that she had had with her dif­ferent

such—but that is a secret and I pledge not
to say any thing about it.
choose life partners, is it not?
The mothers of the present-day girls
have this depth and sincerity, which, • in
addition to their prettiness, adds an intan­gible
something to their attractiveness,
making them beautiful. The average mo­dern
girl is "shallow." Her real self is
not portrayed. On the surface she is pret­ty;
but her mind and .soul are too far
beneath the surface to lend to her attrac­tiveness.
Few of them possess an appeal
to the mind and heart.
The modern young men, though frivo­lous
much of the time, seek real beauty and
not just prettiness. The lighter attitude
of life, though entertaining for a while,
does not create a lasting impression. The
modern girl is a "good sport" and well
liked; but the girl not so modern is the
one sought for her love and inspiration.

Loudest Voice
On the rolling plains of South Schenectady, in
several scattered buildings, is a vast laboratory for
studying radio broadcasting problems. Gathered
here are many kinds and sizes of transmitters, from
the short-wave and low-power sets to the giant
super-power unit with a 50- to 250-kiIowatt voice.
Super-power and simultaneous broadcasting on
several wave lengths from the same station are
among the startling later-day developments in
radio. And even with hundreds of broadcasting
stations daily on the air throughout the land, these
latest developments stand for still better service
to millions of listeners.
Only five years old, yet radio broadcasting has
developed from a laboratory experiment into a
mighty industry. And alert, keen young men have
reaped the rewards.
But history repeats itself. Other electrical develop­ments
will continue to appear. And it will be the
college man, with broad vision and trained mind,
who will be ready to serve and succeed.

The Ag Club held its usual snappy
program Wednesday night at 7 o'­clock
in Comer hall. The first num­ber
on the program was none other
than the "ag" students would-be
May Queen of last year, "Katy"
Elliott who solved the problem that
has long been worrying machinists;
why a tractor bucks up when it is
too heavily loaded and how to over­come
this trouble. "Katy" says that
the reason the four wheeled horse
stands up on its hind legs is that the
load is too heavy and that the way
to get around this obstacle is to re­duce
the load.
J. B. Ruffin spoke on "Hawaii"
and brought out some very interesting
facts in regard to the mixed "Aemer-ican
born foreigners" and their re­lation
to the United States. "Changes
Which are Going on in the South"
were discussed by M. E. Stevens in
which he declared that there have
been two outstanding changes in the
South during recent years; that of
the exodus of the negro to the North,
and the exodus of the Northerner to
Florida.
"Why Students go to College"
was next on the program by N. G.
Norris in which he brought out that
there are three reasons why men go
to college, namely, because they
have to go, because it is the popular
thing to do, and because they want
to fit themselves for later life work.
The speaker declared that present-day
indications are that the last class
are in the minority, by far. "Rat"
Sellers chose as his subject "The
Ladies" but at the last minute he
decided that too many of the old
men had dates out for the meeting,
so he changed his subject and ora­ted
at length on the much debated
question, "How Shall the Co-eds be
Treated" and his final conclusion was
that the best thing to be done, was
for us to do our duty by the Co-eds.
The final number on the program
was a discussion of "American Pro­duction
of Rubber" by "Rat" Jones.
SKELETON IS
GIVEN TO THE
ZOOLOGY DEPT
One of the latest additions to the
college is a human skelton present­ed
to the museum of the Department
of Zoology-Entomology by Dr. C.
3. Seay of Pratt City. This is a
valuable contribution and it has al­ready
been planned by the profes­sors
of this department to use this
human skeleton in class work.
This human skeleton will be placed
In the museum of the Department of
Zoology-Entomology, along with the
many other curioes. Although it is
not generally known that this depart­ment
is collecting and building a
great museum, this skeleton will be
an invaluable addition to this de­partment.
It is hoped that such a
fine gift as Dr. Seay's will be follow­ed
with others and in the near fu­ture
this museum will be one of the
best in the country.
Dr. C. S. Seay is a special praction-er
in Pratt City where he has been
active for a number of years. It
was through Albert Nickels, mem­ber
of the state board of health of
Birmingham, that this donation was
made to the museum here. Mr.
Nickels attended Auburn and com­pleted
the prescribed course for phar­macy.
Dr. Seay and Mr. Nickels brought
the much treasured relic from Pratt
Jity through the country in a car
last Saturday. Of course, the skele­ton
was wrapped snuggly in a blank­et
to keep it out of sight from the
aye of passerbys.

RESOLUTIONS ON
DEATH DR. DRAKE
ARE # ADOPTED
Formal resolutions on the death
of the late Dr. John Hodges Drake,
college surgeon at Auburn for fifty-three
years, have been unanimously
adopted by the Auburn Board of
Trustees. The resolutions were pre­pared
by Charles S. McDowell, Jr.,
of Eufaula, a member of the Board,
in accordance with the request of
the Board. Resolutions follow:
"Whereas God in the exercise of
His wisdom has removed from the
scenes of his earthly labor, John
Hodges Drake, who at the time of
his death and for fifty-three years
prior thereto, was the faithful and
efficient surgeon and physician of
this Institution, exemplifying in his
life and character the highest type
of American manhood and christian
and in his services, the best tradi­tions
of the noble profession of
which he was a member, and:
Whereas, by the rectitude of his
life, his constant attention to duty,
his sympathetic association with
faculty and student body, he has ren­dered
invaluable service to this Ins­titution
and aided in extending its
influence for .good throughout the
commonwealth and nation and:
Whereas it may be truthfully said
of him: 'He gave his substance to
the poor, his strength to the weak,
his sympathy to the unfortunate and
his heart to God,' Therefore be it
resolved by the Board of Trustees
that:
In the passing of John Hodges
Drake, this college has lost one of
its staunchest, most efficient and
most loyal supporters; and that Au­burn
and .the State has lost one of
its noblest citizens; that, the student
body has lost its great physician and
that this Board regrets more than
can be expressed in words the passing
of this great and good physician and
joins with the community and his
family in mourning his lose.
Resolve further that these resolu­tions
be spread upon the minutes of
this Board, a copy be furnished to
the family, and to the press of the
State, and to him who is gone we
say in love and sincerity: 'Requies-cat
in pace.' "

Hon. J. M. Moore, commissioner
of Agriculture and Industries for
Alabama, delivered an address to the
farmers of the State from station
WAPI Saturday evening. Later he
made the principal address at the
Gamma Sigma Delta banquet, j •
Mr. Moore explained to the farm­ers
of the state the conditions which
now exist and how some of these
conditions can be improved by the
farmers. He stated the fact that if
the farmers would produce enough
feed stuff such as grains and hay
there would be less time to spend
in the production of cotton. He ad­vocated
the reduction of cotton acre­age
because he feels that the produc­tion
of too much cotton is more a
drawback to the farmer than would
the production of less cotton which
would increase the price of cotton
per pound.
The speaker said that Alabama
farmers are trying to cultivate too
much cotton acreage. An effort is
'being put forth at present to de­crease
the acreage and to increase
the production per acre.
The farmers of the state will be
informed from time to time about
the conditions of farming and the
drives which are being put forth to
help the farmer overcome the un­favorable
conditions by means of the
station WAPI. The officials of the
station expresses the hope of reach­ing
every farmer of the state.

WEEK OF HARD PRACTICE
First Game Of Season Two Weeks Away;
Joe Wallis Goes To Outfield And
Stewart Is Shifted To Second
With the first game of the sea­son
with Ft. Benning but a couple
of weeks in the future, Coach Morey
has been busy separating all of the
wheat, with the result that of the
original 50 candidates, but 29 re­main
as th£ Tigers swing past the
second week's preparatory work. As
things now stand there are three
catchers, seven pitchers, two first
fbackers, two second sackers, two
third sackers, two shortstops, and
eleven outergardeners. With these

Serans of one or more Tiger cam-igns,
while Ellis, Akin, Tuxworth,
Ufcy, Bogue, Gant, and Harrison,
esent the younger social set,
are trying to oust their prede-ssors.
Several important changes have
n made in the inner works since'
first few days of practice. The

shifting of Joe Wallis to the
outfield simplified the first base
problem by cutting the number of
contestants to two, Nappy Hodges
and Fobb James. Both of these men
throw from the port side while Wal­lis
does his tossing from the other
end. James appears at present to
be the reigning favorite.
Ben Sankey, who will succeed Ed
Allen as Tiger shortstopper, appears
to be a real find. Sankey is one of
the smoothest working fielders on
the lot and gets the ball away fast
and accurately.
"Dog Face" Sheridan, Lefty Hughes,
and Pat Moulton, members of last
year's slab corps are ready for duty
again this year. In addition to these
men there are Hardwick, Jones, Pot­ter,
and Wood, of the former fresh­men.
The receiving department receiv­ed
severe jolt when Dick Maury stop­ped
a foul tip which resulted in two
broken fingers and a bunged-up
hand. The Mobile lad will probably
be out for the next few weeks, at
least. Maury, a letter man for the
past two seasons, started catching
last spring. The peppy receiver was
low to get started being handicap­ped
with a sore arm, but blossomed
forth in great style toward the fag
end of^ the campaign.
The loss of Maury will leave Ebb
James, who handled the wind pad
and big mitt quite acceptably for
the freshman squad of last year, to
do the bulk of the work behind the
plate. "Clabber" Williams will also
be available for receiving duty.
The squad, so far, has been handi­capped
by cool weather, though the
boys have not had to lay off as they
have in other years due to Jupe
Pluvius. But two practice tilts be­tween
the Varsity and Yannigans
have taken place so far. However,
the Moreymen will probably, get
their first taste of the Rats when
the two mix matters, Saturday af­ternoon.

Auburn Rifle Team
Loses First Match
Lose Close Shoots With
M. I. T. And Delaware
Lieutenant Boley's Auburn Rifle
team composed of students enrolled
in the three military departments of
the college, met defeat in their first
matches of the year last week.
The first shoot was dropped to the
targeteers of Boston Tech by the
close score of 1848 to 1776, while
the second affair was decided in fa­vor
of the University of Delaware
to the tune of 3503 to 3474. The
relative merits of the Auburnites
and their opponents may be deter­mined
by the fact that the first con­test
went by the wayside by the small
margin of 72 points,, while naught
but a measley 29 points separated the
Plainsmen from the Delaware outfit.
The Boleyites are now in the midst
of' the Fourth Co-Area shoot, aiming
their rifles against those of the vari­ous
schools in this section having R.
O. T. C. units.
Next week the Plainsmen have two
more shoots on tap. They are to
engage the University of Kansas and
Virginia Military Institute. The fol­lowing
week will witness the national
competition for the Hearst Trophy.

T o u r n a m e n t By a 32 To
26 Score
Bill McKinney and his mates saw
their last tip. off of the 1926 season,
when they went down in the first
round of the S. I. C. tournament,
being put out of the running by the
fast North Carolina State squad, 32
to 26. »
The Tigers clung desperately at
the heels of the Carolinians, and were
always witbin easy hailing distance
of the Staters.
Watkins, State guard, sent in three
field goals and led the field in scor­ing
during the first half. Hall got
himself in bad at the start of the
contest by his fouling, and was put
out of the game before the end of
the half with four personals. Snyder
succeeded him.
The State men started out in the
lead. The Tigers fought back and
took the lead for the first time af­ter
the first foiir minutes of play.
James dribbled down the floor to
sink the tying shot, and Bill Mc­Kinney
tossed in1 a long one to give
the Plainsmen the lead.
The Carolina squad came back lat­er,
and forged to 'the front once
move, the count at the end of the
first half being 15 to 11 in their
favor.
The.second half went on much as
the former one, and the score end­ed
with the Staters in the lead by
half a dozen pointers.
Kangaroo Ellis was the leading
scorer, with 11 points including five
field goals. Bill McKinney oiled up
for the swan song, making four field
goals for 8 points, and assured him­self
the position of the team's lead­ing
scorer for the season, with the
Kangaroo coming in a close second.
The opposition did the Tigers one
better in the matter of tallying field
goals, getting and even dozen to 11
for the men of Papke.
Lineup and Summary:
Freshtnan Squad
Gets Underpay
L a r g e Group Of Candidates
G r e e t Frosh Mentor
As is usual in all forms of fresh­man
athletics, a large host of Frosh
diamond -aspirants are on hand for
the first weeks limbering up exer­cises,
and the rodent tutor, Coach
Brown, is having a rather uneasy
time of it in the weeding out pro­cess.
Among the most likely performers,
the Auburn haired leader, has two
first sackers, three second basemen,
two' third basemen, and two short-fielders.
Three pitchers, four re­ceivers,
and a whole flock of gard­eners
are putting in strong bids.
At present it appears that the
outfield is most difficult problem
that the Tiger mentor will have to
face, as there is such a large group
striving to land the three berths. As
he is somewhat disappointed in the
showing of his pasture candidates,
it is probable that Coach Brown will
shift some of his more promising
candidates for the inner works into
the outer gardens.
To cover the initial sack ,there are
J. C. "Lefty" Wattwood, who last
fall played right end on the football
squad, and W. Jones, former Bess­emer
first sacker. As things stand
at present it appears that Wattwood,
who starred at Alexander City, will
get the call, though Jones has been
turning in some creditable work.
In the keystone department are
a trio of men, Logan, of Lakeland,
Fla., Porter, and McCrory of Huey-town.
Logan who occupied the pivot
of the pigskin squad, has been giv­ing
a good account of himself and
will make his two contestants step
to oust him.
Those who stand out among the
torrid corner hopefuls are Pete
Booth, of. Columbus, Ga., and Har­ris,
who hails from Sheffield. Neith­er
of these has showed signs of su­periority
thus far. Booth proved him­self
to be just as scrappy on the
diamond as he was on the basket­ball
court, where he held forth at
guard.
One of the more promising \:an-didates
to be uncovered in the
mass, is J. L. Appelton, of Ft. Payne,
who is putting in a strong bid for
the short field. Appleton is tall,
rangy, has a large pair of hands,
and handles the horsehide quite ac­ceptable.
He is being rather stiff
competition by H. Smith, who form­erly
wore a Vernon uniform, and" it
is probable that one of the two will
heed the call of another position be­fore
the opening contest.

Dick Maury
The Tiger back stopping depart­ment
received a setback when, in
lasl week's practice tilt, Dick Maury,
Jungaleer maskman of last year,
caught a fast one between the little
finger and its adjacent member. As
a result the Springhill receiver will
have to be content to watch his mates
from the sidelines for a couple of
weeks, at least, while the injured pew
is, recuperating. Maury, however,
has a worthy successor in the per­son
of Ebb James.
Dick, whose official title is Rich­ard
Wilmer Maury, spends his time
in Spring Hill during the off-season,
or when he isn't playing ball or list­ening
to "John."
Maury, should he be able to don
the livery this spring, will be nund-ing
out his third year in a Tiger
uniform, aside from a year spent
with the Rats. During his three
year career, the Tiger backstop has
filled various positions in the infield
and outfield, and only last year, de­cided
tov tackle the catching berth
as a regular thing.
Maury has done as well as could
be expected with the stick. Last year
he pounded the apple for an aver­age
in the vicinity of .270.
Last year the peppy receiver was
allowed to work in the earlier games
with a sore arm and his throwing
was way off as a result. However,
during the latter half of the cam­paign,
the Spring Hill product began
to pick up in fielding and tossing,
as well as in the hitting department.
Maury began to ^blossom forth in
great style as the season closed and
continued his good work through the
summer.
Dick is in his fourth year, and
might often be found studying some
of his Civil Engineering subjects,
when not on the baseball lot.
. A dozen former prep school re­ceivers
are on hand to land the back-stopping
job. It is impossible to
say who will handle the wind pad
and mask, though there are three
men who seem to be forging ahead
of the field. These men are Wright,
Troy;, Hartselle, Hartselle Ingram,
Wetumpka. Hartselle and Ingram

former at the signal calling station,
and the latter playing at one of the

such a rustle and bang that the
Montgomerians never had a ghost of
a chance from the beginning, and cer­tainly
not at the end, for the boys
of Brown were getting better every
minute. When the whistle announc­ed
that the deluge of field goals
had ceased, the Rats emerged on the
long end of a 55 to 20 score. After
wittnessing this fracas, one wonders
how the • Lanier boys ever managed
previously to eke out a victory over
the Orange and Blue warriors.
Howell, Mullins, and DuBose, play­ed
the stellar rolls in downing the
Capitolians. The aforesaid trio
started helping themselves as soon
as the gong sounded, and when the
first half was signaled, were off to
12 field goals between themselves.
The Tigers started off at a whirl­wind
clip, and were past the 20 point
mark before the unsuspecting Poets
had sunk more than a couple of field
goals. At the end of the half the
count stood 29 to 9.
During the second half Howell and
DuBose continued the work of the
first semester. Pete Booth, whose
guarding left little to be desired in
the initial half, came to the fore
in the scoring department after the
midpoint.
The game progressed in the last
half very much as it had at the
start. Toward the end of the embro-glio
it appeared as though the Ti­ger
quota would not mount to the
half century mark, but a sudden
spurt on the part of the Jungle Cats
in the latter stages put the count
over the top. A Tiger team had
woft a victory by the largest margin
in four years.
The Lanier squad spent most of
the time in taking men out and in­jecting
new blood into the fray in
what appeared to be an effort to
stem the Tiger tide. Howell was re­moved
from the game toward its
end, as the Tiger forward and his
opponent, Kaminsky displayed such
keen interest in one another, the
gentle are of fisticuffs having been
on exhibit temporarily. ,
The victory gives the Tigers four
games in the win column exclusive
of their triumph over Selma Y, Twice
have the Rodents been bumped, once
by Lanier, and another time by the
Tech Rodents. Two games have gone
on the' right side of the ledger from
Marion, one from Tech, and one
from Lanier.
All of the Tigers put up a good
performance, especially Howell, Du­Bose,

DINNER MEET
OF SCABBARD
ND BLADE HELD
Company L. fifth regiment of the
Scabbard and Blade held their first
dinner meeting of the year at the
Auburn Inn on last Thursday even­ing.
Cadet Captain C. V. Ingram,
company commander, presided. The
meeting was featured by short talks
from several of the regular army of+
ficers who are honorary members
of the organization.
A news letter from the national
headquarters containing many inter­esting-
items was read. Chief among
these items was the news of the na­tional
rifle and pistol contests among
the Scabbard and Blade companies.
Memories of the recent carnival
will be made all the brighter with
the thought of the Auburn band.
Thirty nine strong, the band
marched at the head of every pa­rade
and offered a number of con­certs
in Bienville square that were
heard by large audiences. Smart,
well-trained and enthusiastic, mem­bers
of the band added a dash of col­or
to the festivities with their pic­turesque
uniforms, their dark cloaks
flung over the shoulder to show a
bright orange lining and did much to
assure the success of the carnival.
The band has been the pride of
Auburn college for nearly 25 years.
It is considered the oldest college
band in the south. It was organized
by Professor M. T. Fullan, of Au­burn,
who was bandmaster for a num­ber

E. E. is a real society, and there is
no reason why the same recognition
should not be accorded it as is given
the other societies.
R. Crawford gave an interesting
discussion of the laying of a high
voltage transmission cable across thel improved until he is able to take the
Mississippi river. The various diffi­culties
confronting the engineers,
After a short discussion, it was de- [ a n ( j how they met them, were
cided that the local company would brought out in the discussion, and
compete in these contests. The fol­lowing
committees were appointed
by Cadet Captain Ingram: pistol
team, J. B. Patterson, J. B. Jack­son,
and L. F. McConnell; rifle
team, J. L. Singleton, R. M. Roun-tree,
and P. C. Ausley.
Plans for sending two delegates
to the national convention-were for-muated,
and C. V. Ingram and P. C.
Ansley were elected to represent the
local company at the convention
which will be held during the latter
part of April, at Louisiana State
University.
Major Hatch, the first speaker of
the evening, discussed at length the
plans for the senior military ball
to be held on February 22. The
local commandant also expressed a
desire of seeing a revival of the cus­tom
of all the cadet officers saluting
the army officers on certain designa­ted
parts of the campus. ,
Captain Cushman, was also strong
in believing that the saluting of the
officers by the cadets would be in­strumental
in raising the military
standards of the Alabama Polytech-nich
Institute.
He stated that one of the best
ways of inaugurating the custom
would be for all Scabbard and Blade
members to start by saluting their
brother officers as well as the re­gular
army officers.
Captain Althaus extended to all
elaborated upon. G. C. Moore told
us something of great super power
projects, of which .so much is heard
today. His talk brought out the
plan of the electrification of the
Holy Land, and of the plans to sip­hon
water from the Mediterranian
Sea to turn the wheels of power
there.
We were glad to have an Ag man,
G. B. Phillips, with us tonight to
visit our society and to tell something
about "Rural uses of Electricity."
His talk was enlightening to the
"Elecs" to have one of our Ag
brethern tell us of the uses of our
products in their business. We be­lieve
this idea is an innovation and
we hope it can be repeated soon.

Tom Ellzy, Secretary of the Ala­bama
Council of Religious Education,
spoke to the freshmen last Tuesday
on clean living and living right.
Mr. Ellzy based his talk upon the
sixth chapter and seventh verse of
Galations.' "Be not deceived; God is
not mocked for whatsoever a man
soweth that he also shall reap."
"If you are to be a leader, you
have got to cross the rivers as you
come to them," said the speaker. "The
greatest art of all living is right
living."
Mr. xEllzy emphasized the fact
that the younger generation did not
realize the seriousness of the many
vices that are being carried on to­day.
These necking parties and petting
parties are leading them to Hell and
until such practices are stopped by
the present generation, the sins of

Bidez said. "Every year there is in­evitably
a Void in our ranks from
graduation. But members of the
class have been trained in the mean­while,
and they fill our ranks again,
maintaining the proficiency of the
band. At present we have more than
40 students in our beginners' class.
"This training band has every op­portunity
to study. Three hours a
week are devoted to practice. It is
only after application and develop­ment
of talents that members are
made skilful in their various instru­ments.
But there is never any diffi­culty
in filling the ranks. This year
the band will lose about nine mem­bers
at graduation. But already we
have that number in the training band
ready to replace them."
Mr. Bidez said about 20 students
work their way through Auburn by
playing in the band. These are mem­bers
of the Auburn orchestra, with
Mr. Bidez as conductor, who play
three times a week at a picture-show
in the college.
"The training in music at Auburn
is extensive," Mr. Bidez said. "Music
scores of every opera and symphony
are at the disposal of students. They
are urged to study these scores ,and
master them."
The average age of members of
the band is 19.

It is a day in the early part of
September, 1950. The father, an
•jld Auburn Student, calls his son to
him to give his fatherly advice be­fore
he sends him to college. He
instructs him "My Son, I have during
the eighteen years of your life tried
to give you all the attention and
care that any son receives from his
father. I have had experts to look
after your diet that you might be
the healthiest possible. "Physical cul­ture
experts have done all in their
power to give you the strength, en­durance,
and quickness needed. Your
mind has been trained to prepare it
for the great work it must do. You
are, I hope, physically and mentally
fit to stand the terrific hardships
of the inter-collegiate sport for which
I trust and pray you are prepared.
So, my son, I leave it up to you and
feel you will not fail in this which is
so dear to me. I send you to Au­burn
and hope that you will take
the advantage of all your opportuni­ties
and bring glory to us and to Au­burn
by your brilliant and courageous
service on the Auburn Ping-Pong
team."
The reader may easily see that
this sort has claimed the best ath­letes
of the country and long since
displaced football, Basketball, Base­ball,

The Wilsonian literary society
held its regular meeting last Tues­day
night. Many interesting facts
were brought out by those on the pro­gram.
J. C. Bull related the greatness of
"A Feudest Who Fought the Feud."
In this discussion, it was brought
out that a feudest stopped the feud
in Georgia with educational methods.
"An American Monument to Sur­pass
the Pyramids" was discussed by
Annamerle Arant. She brought out
the fact that plans are on foot to
complete the gigantic monument in
its immensity in the near future by
the new sculptor. This monument
will be divided into three sections,
namely, General Lee, Jefferson Davis
two color bearers and other confed­erate
notables, just back of them
will be a company of Confederate
soldiers, and still further in the back­ground
will be represented some
prominent heroic Southern women
who so faithfully discharged their
duties during the war. One thing
that is noticable about this monu­ment
is the size. It is so large that
fifty men can be seated on General
Lee's shoulder and it is six feet from
his mustache to his eyebrows. The
Greeks and early sculptors have not
carved any more wonderful piece of
art nor will the pyramids surpass it
in age in the future.
Due to the fact that professional
criminal and. crimes in America get
so much publicity through the news­papers
is one reason why justice fails
in the United States. The above fact
was brought out by W. R. Hardin
in his talk on "Where American Jus­tice
Fails." He also attributed the
present great crime wave to the ease
in which criminals can make bonds,
the petty technicalities of the law
and trials, and professional criminal
lawyers of today.
Fannie Iagou gave a discussion of
"How the White House Became a
Glass House" in which she gave a
sketch of the work of Bill Price, the
first great White House reporter. In
a few but concise words L. W. Per­ry
portrayed the life and works of
the Great Doctor Johnson. Perry ift
a humerous way told of this great
man's marvelous memory and of his
great work that he produced.
The Auburn Radio Club held a
special called 'meeting last Thursday
evening at eight o'clock on the third
floor of the old Engineering Build­ing.
A very interesting talk on
transformers was given by John
Wright. Lewis Howie, club secretary
had prepared a large Telsa coil,
which is capable of producing an
electric spark 15 inches long, and the
club was entertained for some time
by a beautiful display of 'home-made'
lightning.
The next regular meeting will be
on Friday evening, February 26, just
after the first show. Everybody in­terested
in radio is cordially invited
to visit us. Just remember the day
and time: Friday Evening, after first
show, at Eight o'clock in Old Engi­neering

SECRETARY OF
A S M E SOCIETY
TO SPEAK HERE
The regular meeting of Wednes­day
night, March 3rd, began by mak­ing
preparations and plans for the
reception of Calvin W. Rice, Sec­retary
of the National A. S. M. E.
Secretary Rice is to speak Friday
night at 8 P. M. in the new Engi­neering
building. He will speak on
"The Status of Education in the
United States and Abroad."
From this to the program of the
evening was rendered. W. C. Clisby
began by telling us of an automobile
he made by himself in his younger
days. A picture of the car was
furnished, showing that the speaker
was well versed on the description
of the machine. He used a motor­cycle
engine for power, and in wheel
construction he told how bicycle hubs
and rims were used. Later however,
he used steel rims because the
wooden ones were not capable of
withstanding the wear. Much of
the material used in construction was
taken from the junk yard and made
over in his own little shop. He told
of making nearly all the parts, and
some of the ideas especially, were
exceptionally good.
We hope Clisby will continue to
be as ambitious and successful in
his future work as he has been in
the past.
Next, we had a very interesting
and instructive talk by J. E. Barnes,
on "Water Supply in Chicago."
Chicago formerly drew its water
from Lake Michigan but as the city
grew, the lake became contaminated
and other water supplies had to be

The regular meeting of the S. A.
M. E. was held in the Engineering
room, Monday night. As President
Quinn was unable to attend, Vice
President R. K. Posey presided. Af­ter
the reading of the minutes, Posey
told us of the future activities plan­ned
by the society. He spoke of the
much talked of "Smoker" that had
been planned for this meeting but
it was postponed. It will be "held
at the next regular meeting which
will be March 8th, 1926. He also
mentioned the trip to be taken to
Montgomery; and from there the
Alabama River will' be explored by
members of the society. This trip
is to be taken some time in the
spring upon a steel barge under the
supervision of Major Bethel. He
also told of the Engineer hike that
was started last year and will be
held this year, April 17th. The S.
A. M. E. will sponsor this hike if
permission is granted. Another thing
of interest that is being planned is
the society banquet that we plan
to hold while the inspecting officers
are in Auburn.
Lieutenant Higgins then gave an
outline of these events. He said
that the moral of the unit and the
outside activities played a prominent
role in the Competitive Drill and that
the Engineer Unit must not fall
down. Lieutenant Higgins brought
out the fact that the S. A. M. E.
was a social society for the Engi­neering
Unit and was always glad
to have visitors from other units.
Posey thanked Lieut. Higgins in
behalf of his speech. Afterwards
President Posey told of several ori­ginal
and amusing anecdotes. J. M.
Edwards gave a brief talk on the
3. A. M. E. banquet held last year
while the inspecting officers from
Washington were visiting us. He
said that aside eating, most of the
banquet was taken up with stirring
speeches. According to his state­ment,
the inspecting officers seemed
well pleased.
Following Edwards talk, J. M.
Earnest took the floor, and made a

searched for. One proposal was made
to get water from the St. Lawrence
River; another proposal was made to
make another lake in Canada (a 6th
Great Lake) about the size of Lake
Erie and to draw from that.
Finally, Chicago solved her pro-available
water. However, the wa­ter
has to be piped for considerable
distances.
The concluding talk of the even­ing
was made by W. C. Hurt, on
"Lives of Great Engineers."
He began with Corliss. One of
the engineer's first jobs was to re­build
a bridge that had been washed
out. He did this against the cri­ticism
of his fellow workmen but
the job was completed in good order
and at a very milch lower cost than
had been expected. He continued
to show that he was not to be out
done and presently we find that he
had gone into work on machinery.
His first work of note in that line
was to patent a sewing machine.
Later came his very common and use­ful
valves. Corliss was well aware
of the power* of his engines and he
challenged others to compete with
him.
Next, Hurt took up Richard Ark-wright.
Arkwright began his career
by dyeing wigs, hair brushes, etc.
He became very proficient in this
work and soon obtained a monopoly
on the industry. Later we find he
became interested in the textile in­dustry.
There he had a great and
continued success. His inventions
and perfections in this work gained
for him the honor of introducing
"quantity production."
Stevens and Maudsley were also
engineers of great note. Stevens
was connected more with Civil En­gineering
work and it seems that
nothing was too great a project for
him. He was the builder of several
railroads and he built them in dif­ferent
countries, and carried the
work on all the projects at the same
time.
Henry Maudsley was the "father of
the machine shop." The first threads
to be cut on a lathe were cut in his
shop. He was a man of great ability
and initiative.
With the conclusion of this very
interesting talk the Society adjourn­ed.
On Tuesday night at eight a most
interesting program will be present­ed
in Anderson Auditorium (The
Methodist Sunday School building.)
The program will consist of musical
numbers and the delightful booth
Tarkjngton play "The Ghost Story."
This will be presented by the Auburn
Players. This entertainment should
be a treat to every one in Auburn
as it is an unusually well balanced
program.
The entertainment is given by
circle number two of the Methodist
workers. The admisison will be fif­teen
and twenty-five cents.

motion that Dean Reagan should be

Queen. This motion was quickly
seconded, and the vote in favor of
the proposal was unanimous. Reagan
responded very beautifully and ap­pointed
Earnest as campaign mana­ger.
R. C. Crawford moved that the
date for the hike be held April 17th.
His motion was seconded and pass­ed
by vote. Posey then appointed
Alston, Crawford, and Earnest, as
a committee to get the information
desired before making arrangements
for the hike.
It was voted by the society that
the cruise of the Alabama River be
limited to the members of the S. A.

the meeting adjourned.

JUNIOR CLASS
HOLDS MEETING
A junior class meeting was held
last Tuesday. At this class meeting,
it was decided that the class numerals
should be painted on the Ag tank, and
the contract is to be let to the low-est
bidder, which will be given out
at the next meeting. The back­ground
for this numeral will be pur­ple,
and the numerals will be in gold.
This painting will be something like
nine by twelve, and any person de­siring
to bid on this job should do
so at once. All bids should be seal­ed,
with names signed, and turned
over to Abe Robinson.
The next junior class meeting will
be held March 9, 11 to 12 o'clock
in room 301 Main Building. It is
requested that every junior be pre­sent,
as there is important business
to come up. Besides the awarding
of the bids to paint the numeral on
the Ag tank, there is to be a discus­sion
about the junior banquet, which
will be held sometime in April. It
is hoped that all the juniors will catch
the class spirit and be present at
this meeting, as it is only a few
weeks off until nominations for of­ficers
will be opened.
All juniors are requested to see
Mr. J. P. Atherton and place their
orders for their class rings if they
so desire. It would be wise to place
your order now, as it will take about
six weeks to get the rings here. This
will insure you a ring before com­mencement.
ONLY 15 and 25 cents to see "The
Ghost Story" at the Anderson Audi­torium
on Tuesday at eight. (Adv.)

The Evans Literary Society held
its regular weekly meeting last
Monday night at 7:00 P. M.
The members were urged to take
pait in the Oratorical Contest, which
is to be held the latter part of
March.
What is more beneficial, more in­teresting,
more unusual than the
reading of short stories? Last" Mon­day
night Miss Dobbs gave the so­ciety
a very instructive talk on the
^hort Story, after which she read
two stories which were written by
a French writer. These stories were
characteristic of the French Short
"tories, in that they ended at an un­expected
time.
She referred to Carrol Lewis
Maxey, whose short stories are re­presentative
in plots, settings, and
plain narrations. She also mention­ed
to Blanch Williams, a master of
the Short Story, who is noted for
her simple style.
The Americans have no Short
Stories as compared to those of the
French and British. There are so
few Americans who write, that it
is almost impossible to find a typical
American Short Story.
Miss Dobbs has promised to read
the "Black Poodle" in the near fu­ture
and the society looks forward to
this occasion.
McLendon discussed a few points
from Roberts' Rules of Order.
Next Monday night the society
will feature some "Auburn Gripes."
