Membership In National
Organizations; Dr. Dowell
And Coach Morey
Members
Blue Key, honorary fraternity was
installed at a banquet held last night
at a local tea room. Nineteen seniors
two faculty members and one alumni
member were initiated. Dr. Spright
Dowell and Coach David B. Morey
were the faculty members initiated
and Mr. Emmett Sizemore was selec­ted
as the Alumni member.
The object of Blue Key is to pro­mote
the spirit of fraternalism, fur­ther
the best interests of the college,
and to provide a means for study
and discussion of problems that con­front
the students. Luncheons will
be held twice each month. The or­ganization
is new at Auburn but it
is represented at a number of the
larger institutions over the United
States.
Six new men will be selected from
the Junior class during the latter part
of the second semester who have ex­celled
in scholarship and have been
prominent in campus activities. The
six men who are selected from the
Junior Class will, during the first
semester next year, select twelve
seniors. The number of members
for the year will be twenty.
The seniors who were initiated last
night were: C. B. Burgoyne; W. J.
McKinney; .E. E. Williams; C. H.
Colvin; C. O. Stewart; C. W. All-good;
P. C. Ausley; C. V. Ingram;

PHI DELTA CHIS

The Phi Delta Chi FraternirV was
host at a banquet given last Satur­day
night from 8:30 to 11 to friends
and students of Auburn. Although
rainy weather prevailed there were
about 200 in attendance.
As each guest arrived they were
welcomed by the receiving committee
and shown through a doorway into
a room filled with "eats." Tables
were heaped with sandwiches of all
kinds, salads, and pickles. In the
next room punch was served while
still further in the line of travel
were to be found tables containing
cakes and candies. At the end of
the tour one came out on the porch
where ice cream was being gener­ously
served. After everyone had
been plentifully supplied with eats
smokes were distributed.
The Phi Delta Chis are the first
to give a banquet on the campus
this season and the success of the
feed and the appreciation of the stu­dents
can be verified by asking any­one
who attended.

Inheritance Of Francis Scott
Key Is Traced By Dr.
George Petrie
Notices To All Students
Beginning with this issue the
Plainsman will inaugurate a new de­livery
system. In the past the pa­pers
have not been received propt-ly
at all times by the students and
it is-with the idea of bettering this
service that the papers will be de­livered
at the various boarding and
fraternity houses. This will enable
the subscribers to receive the paper
within a few minutes after it comes
off the press and we ask that all
students cooperate with the boys de­livering
the papers by telling them
the number of students at each
house.
Monday we will mail to each pros­pective
high school graduate in the
state a pictorial section showing the
buildings on the campus with pic­tures
of the deans of the various de­partments.
• Anyone desiring to have
a copy sent to a prospective graduate
please leave the address in the pigeon
hole of the door, room 4 under
Langdon Hall.
The convocation exercises of last
week was given over to a talk by
Dr. George Petrie, dean of graduate
studies on Francis Scott Key., author
of our national anthem, "The Star
Spangled Banner." The Auburn or­chestra
in accordance with the occi-sion
played this song as an introduc­tion
for the speaker.
Dr. Petrie traced the earl;;- inheri­tance
of Francis Scott Key, which
was blended with "a high tone of pa­triotism
making him noble and honor­able.
"By environment Key became
a noble man who loved nature and
saw the beautiful in life. He was
a scholar and a lawyer, being en­dowed
with a high degree of intel­ligence.
Besides being well educated,
he numbered among his associates
other brilliant men such as Randolph
of Virginia. Besides being a man of
high mental training he was also
well trained spiritually, being a mem­ber
of the Episcopal church. In his
great nature studies he developed a
passion for the beautiful and put this
in verse. He was district attorney
for Washington, D.C. During this
period he settled the great national
question that arose in Alabama in
regard to the removal of the Indians
and the proper disposal of their lands.
By his quick action in this matter
he probably averted civil war.
"It is rather aj strange coincidence
that caused hi mto write the Star
Spangled Banner. During the war
of 1812, a well known doctor and
friend of Key's was unjustly impris-ioned
and taken a captive aboard one
of their ships. This great author made
a very strong urgent plea to the Bri­tish
to release the doctor. The captain
at first refused, saying that he was
going to hang the doctor, but when
Key finished the captain agreed to
release him. The British were con­templating
making war on the Amer­icans
at Baltimore, and for fear that
some of their plans would be betray-ey
they forced Key and the doctor
to accompany the fleet to the scene
of battle. The British made a heavy
barrage on the American fort and
at one time they pierced the flag
with one of their cannon balls.
Through the thick of the fight this
flag still floated in the breeze. All
night the firing continued and in the
early hours of the mqrning Key could
see the American flag still flying.
This gave him the inspiration to write
this national anthem. When he
landed and presented it to the peo­ple
in Baltimore they went wild about
it. The song was published and all
the actors sang it on the stage. So.
fast did it spread that it was sung
in New Orleans one day later, thus
becoming the great national anthem.
SECRETARY OF
A.S.M.E. SPEAKS
IN AUBURN TUES
Calvin W. Rice Of New York
Delivers Interesting Lec­ture
To Engineers
V
The desire to make a living and
obtain greater financial renumeration
for one's self must be supplanted by
the desire to render real public ser­vice
along with the business of mak­ing
a living was the theme of Calvin
W. Rice of New York, secretary of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, in a speech before the
students in the Engineering college
here today. Mr. Rice, who occupies
one of the most important positions
in the field of engineering in the
United States, was introduced by
Dean J. J. Wilmore.
Mr. Rice took occasion to compli­ment
Auburn on the acquisition of
the^ magnificient new Ramsay En­gineering
Hall which cost approxi­mately
$300,000. He said that the
construction of this building indica­ted
the fine spirit on. the part of Au­burn
Alumni who contributed.
The speaker compared the educa­tional
systems of Europe with those
of America. He pointed out that the
student in engineering as well as
other fields in European universities
is thrown entirely on his own resour­ces
to get what he can or else get
out, resulting in rather high stand­ards
of scholarship.
On the contrary in the United
States, there is a tendency for the
student to go to college because it
is the thing to do. He enjoys the
experience, does his work in many
cases with the least possible effort
and goes out at the end of the fourth
year without having attained real
scholarship.
"The combination of the European
and American systems is necessary
in this country, and theer are in­creasing
signs that suggest this con­dition
of affairs is being brought
about. In the Engineering field,
plans are being successfully worked
out providing for active participation
in matters involving real public ser­vice
by students of engineering. We
have in America much finer facili­ties
for the proper teaching of engi­neering
than are to be found in
Europe. Couple these fine facili­ties
with the initiative and optimism
of the American student and you
have a splendid product capable of
rendering a fine sort of public ser­vice."
Mr. Rice visits all of the engineer­ing
colleges throughout the United
States and has the extensive know­ledge
of various problems of the cur-riculae.

Crop Reports Are
Broadcast 12 Hrs.
After Completed
Crop reports for the year 1925
were broadcasted to the farmers by
station WAPI, the Victor Hanson
Radiophone of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, in less than twelve
hours after they were completed.
Wednesday afternoon the crop re­ports
of the state and nation were
received in Auburn, and went into
the air before 8 o'clock Wednesday
night. By this method it was pos­sible
for the farmers to receive the
reports at least twelve hours earlier
than they could have done otherwise.
The reports went out to the farmers
in the papers on Thursday, the ear­liest,
date possible, but the news
had already reached then on the pre­vious
night by radio.

Extension Service Building are being
rapidly formulated. In the Exten­sion
Building will be housed the of­fices
of the Extension Service, and
accommodation for visitors who
come to Auburn to take the Ex­tension
courses. It will enable Coun­ty
Agents to come from a distance

research work in agriculture o re­main
here in comforable quarters.
There are a number of uses to
which the new building may be de­voted.
In addition o the space used
by the - Extension offices adequate
room will be available to accommo­date
300 people. There will be a
cafeteria in the basement.
As shown by the Architect's draw­ing
the structure will be a three story
building. The wings in the front
and on the sides will be used for
sleeping quarters equipped with mo­dern
conveniences. The rear, rooms
will be utilized for offices and work
rooms, among them being photogra­phic
and radio studios. Special guest
rooms will be included to care for dis­tinguished
visitors.
The Extension Building will fill
a keenly felt need at Auburn and
has been approved by the Board of
Trustees and was recommended to
them by Dr. DowelL More confer­ences
and state short courses for
club members will be possible.
Plans have been completed for the
annual summer school session which
promises to be the largest and best
in the history of the institution.
The session will be composed of
two terms this year in which 150
courses of instruction will be given
by a faculty composed of fifty pro­fessors
and instructors.
Eminent scholars and teachers
from outstanding American Colleges
and Universities and from the fac­ulty
of he Alabama Polytechnic Ins­titute
will compose the faculty of the
summer school this year. This fac­ulty
will be large enough to take
care of any course of instruction
that will be given, and any course
of instruction not listed in the sum­mer
catalog will be given if a suffi­cient
number of students demand it.
The summer session will be com­posed
of two terms this year. The
first term which will be composed of
six weeks with five school days to
the week and opens on June 7 and
closes July 16 while the second term
which will begin July 19 and close
August 23 will consist of five weeks
with six school days to he week.
Therefore, a persoij will have sev­eral

As the Plainsmen aspires to be a

that spring is coming, and is expect­ed
any day.
If skeptics require any proof, let

The college division will give un­dergraduate
courses leading to the
bachelor degree and college
credit courses will be offered for
college students, teachers, and high
school graduates. Graduate courses
in Education, Rural Sociology and
Economics, history, and chemistry
leading to the Master's degree will
be given. The undergraduate and
graduate college courses will meet
the requirements for the issuance
and renews** i nd extension of certi­ficates
for teachers in Junior and
Senior high schools, and for school
principals and superintendents.
The normal school division of the
Auburn summer sesison will give the
prescribed courses to meet the re­quirements
of the State Department
of Education for the issuance and
extension of certificates for both
primary and intermediate teachers.
Certificates also will be issued to
high school graduates who wish to
enter the teachers profession the
following fall.
All of the required courses for
the regular senior high school will
be given in the high school division.
The purpose of the summer school
is to enable the students to graduate
in three calender years, by attending
three regular terms, and the inter­vening
summer session. This enables
students to start to work a year
earlier. A number of students have
back work or deficiencies that can
be made up during the summer school
and thus enable them to graduate
the following term.
Special railroad rates have been
applied for. All persons who expect
to attend the summer session should
communicate with the director for
identification certificates.
Dr. Zebulon Judd, dean of the de-'
partment of education, is director
of the summer school.

THE OLD REGIME
When a body of men> get so firm in
their ideas that theyj can't modify them,
ffienthey"should be banished from public
welfare and service. In every day life one
meets men that are entrusted with a re­sponsible
position, but still they fail to
measure up to the requirements expected
of them.
Throughout this country there seems to
be' some what of a rebellious attitude be­tween
students and the faculty. Our
American colleges are supposed to be de­mocratic
with freedom of speech, but in
many of these institutions the rule of the
few, prevails. It has been brought to
mind that several editors of college publi­cations
have been expelled from school,
merely because they failed to write stories
that coincided exactly with the faculty
view point. These editors were elected to
fill the job of publishing the news of
their respective colleges, in other words
voicing the opinions of the students. Most
college editors are required to publish just
exactly what the faculty specifies, no more
or no less. If this custom is to continue,
then why not abolish student publications
and let the faculty print the paper by the
faculty and for the faculty?
In some of the colleges there is so
much red tape attached to the administra­tion
that it is practically impossible to
at least persuade the leaders to modify
their views. The old regime rules in a
majority of the cases and the only remedy
necessary in many cases is a complete
ojver hauling. Certain formalities that
were very applicable to the past decade
still continue to thrive, with no prospects
of modification. As the century grows
older, new customs need to be added and
old customs done away with, but many
of the leading so-called educators fail
to sanction this view point.
When a man is elected to a college edi­torship,
he immediately makes his plans
how to run a business; after he gets
fairly well established, the faculty inter­feres,
and orders that he run the paper
this way, so as to suit their tastes. If
the college authorities intend to dictate
the policy of the paper, then why do
they allow the classes to elect an editor?
The college publicity work is a big job
and if the faculty deems it necessary to
dictate the policy of the papers, wouldn't
it be the logical thing to get a man to
act in this capacity that understood - his
job, and one who has at least had some
practical experience?
Methods that were formerly used effec­tively
do not hold good today, and the
college publication like other things has
to keep pace with time. This article is
POLITICS
With the announcement in another
column of the paper this week of the
appointment of nominating committees by
the Juniors the political bee will begin to
buzz around the campus. Aspirants for
positions will be given a chance to study
the situation and prove their mud slinging
ability before the Junior Banquet is held
in April.
Briefly, the method adopted some time
ago and still in use consists of appointing
a nominating committee in March, who in
turn consider the men best fitted for the
jobs. The names of these men are placed
on a ballot during the following week and
the final vote is taken at the Junior ban­quet
held the latter part of April.
By this method the nahies of the sev­eral
candidates are placed before the class
and ample time is given for the Juniors
to make their decisions as to who is best
qualified to receive the posts and then-vote
is cast accordingly.
Several attempts have been made to
revise the present method of electing class
officers and there are arguments for both
sides.
The Plainsman wants to get a general
concensus of opinion and we will gladly
publish the views of the students.

Professors at Tufts College will be

Council has approved the idea and will

Even college students resort to pawn­shops
to aid them through their financial
difficulties. According to the pawnbrok­ers

articles pawned by Ohio State University
students.
Four sororities have come to the aid of
their boy friends at the University of
Nebraska, and announced that they will
refuse to go on dates with any men who
rent cars. This came as a result of a
fight started by students to secure a re­duction
in the rent of drive-your-self
cars. The new rates, which started the
fight, mean a charge of approximately a
dollar an evening above the old.
The faculty at the University of Wash­ing
ton advocates that grades are an evil,
but a necessary one. The ideal system
would be not to give grades or even to
pass or "flunk" pupils but to permit the
student to obtain what he wishes from
the course.

The Junior class had a class meeting
last Tuesday and according to cusom a
nomination committee was appointed. The
work of this committee will be to arrange
a ballot containing the nominations for
next year's Senior officers. We are all
expecting the ballot to contain the fol­lowing
men with the offices which they
hope to hold: Ingram, Pres.; Carter, V-Pres.;
Longf, Secy.; Johnson, Treas.; Craw­ford,
Pres. Student Council; Walker
George, Chairman Honor Board. Of
course this ballot may vary a bit and it
may be so arranged that some of the above
men may run for some of the other of­fices
also, which I have above omitted.
Anyway we are ready to expect anything.
Only forty-eight more days and May
day will be upon us. Are the Juniors go­ing
to sit calmly by and let the time
slip up on us without making an effort
to support our champion? We all know
that BILLY WYATT is the man for the
place so why not get in behind it and put
it across with grand style.
For the past three years there has been
a jewel in our midst and so far we have
never realized it. Such combinations that
we find in this fellow can not be found
in any of the others (whose company he
keeps.) Large and restful to the eye? The
original thing, all the girls will "eat out
of his hand" and if spurned will more than
likely go and jump in the river. Jovial?
His only opponent in this line is Red Ro­berts.
Gentlemen step right up and read
his signature—MR. SWEDE MATHISON.
I really don't know what office he would
be best qualified for but my advice is to
I
catch him between Toomers and Wrights
and ask him in person. I mentioned the
above limits because he usually forks out
and buys a drink for the one seeking the
information.
What is all this about "Facts" Nelms???
There must be a one-sided joke connected
with it so it is best to say no more.
Does every one know E. C. Cross? Who,
that shiek from the large city of Gadsen?
Sure, you are right again. Having intro­duced
Mr. Cross we will proceed. This
product from Gadsen has a State wide
"rep" as IT when it comes to ^the ladies
because they just can't help it and have to
fall for that hot line of chatter which he
whispers into their ears. Therefore I
can't understand the definition that a fair
damsel bestowed upon E^ C. She said
something about Cross being a "perfect
gripe," but, that can't be right because
we know that Cross, E. C. from Gadsen
does not deserve this title. We will see
that girl about that Cross and see if we
can't get her to re-track.
Another one of our boys to fall under
the bad graces of the ladies is "Helium"
McGraw. It seemed that Mc did not come
up to her expectations as a real man and
the consequence is Mc finds himself hold­ing
the "sack," as we would call it.
A great banking problem arose at one
of the city banks lately. One of the stu­dents
had ten cents left in the bank on
his personal account and went up to see
about checking it out. He found that
before he could check it out he must buy
certified checks which would not be sold
for less than fifty cents. According to
this he would loose forty cent. Result.
He decided to let the money stay in the
bank and donate the interest to charity.
Instead of getting better the picture
show is showing marks otherwise. In the
picture "The Midshipman," shown the
other night, we feel sure hat there was
more of the scene where the champion had
his fight on the ship besides the explana­tion,
"and they did." In other words
when we pay our two-bits we expect to
see all there is and the most interesting
parts especially.
In the basket ball tournament (inter-fraternity)
Feagin seems to be the high
scorer for the Phi Delta Thetas.
It has been rumored that T. S. Davis
has turned down numerous offers from
Westinghouse, General Elecric and others
so that he can accept a job as Consulting
Engineer for the Auburn Garage.
W- H. H. Putnam now answers to fche
title, "Tubby P."
There is one R. O. T. C. Major who
thinks we drill by Chinese evidently be­cause
invariably he gives the command,
"Squad Left" when it should be just the
opposite and the odd thing is that it hap­pens
during the execution of a review.
$ Ye Kol-Yum f
Research
In this day and time there are very few
discoveries made by accident. Before the
present day laboratories came upon the
scene, it was quite usual for important laws
and inventions to be discovered by acci­dent.
But at that many of the really
great things like Newtons Law of Gravi­ty,
were discovered only after long study.
But the question remains as to why things
are not discovered by accident these days
as they used to be.
The answer is easy. If you will stop
and think a moment you will realize that
almost any experiment that you may per­form
in the labatory involves many more
principles that which you are trying to
discover. If then you have to use half
a dozen principles to discover or prove
one, it would naturally follow that a man
would have to have an education that
would enable him- to explain those co-re­lated
principles before he could fully un­derstand
what he is discovering. It is also
a well known fact that the more that you
know about things that are dependent on
or closely related to the thing that you
are trying to discover the more that you
will know about the discovery before it
is actual found. Take for instance the
predictions that were made as to the pro­perties
of undiscovered elements, some
years before they were found upon this
earth. Helium was discovered in the sun
long before it was found on earth and its
properties were accurately outlined. Then
it was found here because men knew what
sort of a substance they were looking
for. There are any number of such in­stances,
but the point that they bring out
is that by experimentation in the labatory
men learn to know what they are trying
to discover, they find out all about its im­mediate
characteristics and some of its
own properties, and finally they find what
they are after. The man in everyday life
has no instruments, no laboratory, in which
to work scientifically, and little knowledge
as to the character of the thing that he is
after.
Instruments
Just as the scientist needs a good work
room, so does he need good instruments.
It has been our pleasure to have with us
in the last week," a representative-of a-well
known instrument manufacturer. In
a room of the new engineering hall he had
set up a line of the best Taylor instru­ments
that would be an asset to any laba­tory.
However the importance to be attached
to instruments lies not in their appearance
but in their ability to deliver the results.
It has always been said that a really good
workman needs no tools, but on the other
hand he will not be a really good work­man
if he does not have tools. There are
certain things such as the accurate mea­surement
of delictric currents and temper­ature
that cannot be done without the aid
of delicate and accurate instruments.
There is a good field here.for any per­son
who is interested in that line of work.
There are still many quantities in this
world that man' is not able to measure
quickly. There are many improvements
that can "be made on existing apparatus.
It is an interesting and profitable field
and worthy of any college mans attention.
Fraternity Night.
It was with considerable satisfaction that
we heard the first fraternity night pro­gram
broadcasted over the radio last Fri­day
night. It seems to us that this is
an innovation that is going to go a long
way to removing some of the predjudice
against fraternities both in the college and
outside. Many people have a feeling that
fraternities do not cooperate in the gain­ing
of an education. That of course is
our'main aim in being here and the fact
that the fraternities as a whole do uphold
this attitude is shown in the recent returns
for fraternity averages for last year.
Seventy nine percent of the fraternities,
on the campus were above the. general
college average in their scholastics grades.
Also the general fraternity average was
above that of the college.
With these facts in view then it will
be a good thing to let the world know of
our fraternities through the Radio station.
That the fraternities are capable of put­ting
on good programs was well shown
by the performance of the Alpha Tau Om­ega's
last Friday night. Several letters
have been received from outside sources
requesting that their orchestra be put up­on
the air again. This is a gratifying re­turn
for the fb-st trial of a new innovation.

The Auburn Players held a most
interesting meeting last Monday
evening which included the showing
of the play "Araminta and the Fin­ger-
bowk" by Harry L. Hamilton.
The play was coached by a member
of the dramatic club and was most
amusing. The life of an extremely
small-town group was portrayed
shbwing how curiosity can overcome
the most narrow-minded prejudices
when one member of the community
has returned from the city and brings
with her finger-bowls which are the
latest fad. The play was a very good
portrayal of small town life and
small-town characteristics.
The Auburn Players will broad­cast
one act plays and sketches at
regular intervals from station WAPI.
Also there are a number of plays
in progress which will be produced
at intervals at the meetings on Mon­day
evenings.
The most recent and most difficult
attempt of the Auburn Players is the
production of scenes from Shake­speare
which is revolutionary in the
amateur theatrical world. One of
these will be presented at the faculty
reception on the twenty-second of
March.
The play "Dulcy" is in progress
now and wil be presented sometime
during the first of part of April. This
play is a very popular one which ran
for a long time on Broadway and
which is being given all over the
country. The players are working
hard to perfect this play under the
direction of Mr. Hamilton and will
expect a large audience in attendance
on the evening of their performance.

The meeting of the Websterian
Literary Society was called to order
by the president, O. T. Ivey. After
all business was transacted, S. H.

which was in the form of a baseball
ball game. Questions on current
events were asked each side, and the
correct answers received a base. An
incorrect answer counted as an out,
and only one trial was given each

W. D. Stewart's team won over the
one captained by C. M. Kearns by
the close score of 5 to 3.
Following the baseball game, the
basketball team met and elected S.
H. Lynne captain. The schedule of
the various societies was announced
as follows: the Websterians meet the
Wilsonians, March 23; following,
the Wirts meet the Evans on the
same night. After these matches a
definite time will be set for the
playing of the final match.
All new members and visitors are
cordially invited to attend the meet­ings,
as an hour of pleasure, pastime,
and amusement is assured. The so­ciety
meets every Tuesday night, 3rd

E. W. Loomis started
life as a farmer boy—a
real "dirt" farmer—as did
his parents and grand­parents
before him.
Across the corn fur-rows,
however, he would
catch sight on the road of
the only kind of engineer a
farmer boy of that day saw—a civil
engineer—and a civil engineer
Loomis determined he would be.
At Delaware University, how­ever,
he got a job in the elec­trical
laboratory—he also waited

was commissary of the Commons,
ran the battalion and did a num­ber
of other things, besides
studying electrical engineering.

even better than you do elec­tricity
and engineering, why not
go in for the sale of electrical
apparatus?" Loomis liked the
idea—came to Westinghouse—
took the student course—then
off to the New York Office as a
"cub" salesman.
He worked—he always had—
both on the farm and in college.
In three years he was head of a
section of the industrial sales de­partment.
By 1922 he was
manager of the Industrial Divi­sion
of the New York Office—
charged with responsibility for
the sale of Westinghouse appa­ratus
to all industrial customers
in New York State and in the
northern half of New Jersey.
Loomis has fifty-two men
working under his direction. It
is barely eleven years since the
wise old professor remarked to
him—"Consider selling; it's a
promising field."

to seek after popularity as an end,
the different kinds of popularity.
The cabinet has taken up the form
of a discussion group in its meet­ings
talking over the problems of the
girls on the campus and other topics
of current interest in which it is the
object of the girls to set each other
thinking along lines of importance
and to try to glean information of
real value.

Chi Delta Phi held the formal ini­tiation
of its new pledges on last
Friday night. The new members
are: Mattie May Allen, Anamerle
Arant, Leetie Gibbs, Caroline Best,
Sudie Dowdell, Dot Taylor, Elta Ma­jors.
This organization has only recent­ly
been made national but its influ­ence
is already felt among the girls
on the capmus. A great many of
the women students tried out for
membership into the sorority but the
limited few who stand high in scho­larship
and in activities only were
admitted.
The purpose of this organization
is to encourage an interest in literary
pursuits and to encourage the stu­dent
to make herself into an all-round
college girl with high scholas­tic
average and outstanding executive
ability.
The sorority will hold a short story
contest this spring and members of
the Sigma Upsilon chapter will par­ticipate.
The prize for the individual
with the best story is honorary mem­bership
in the brother fraternity of
Chi Delta Phi. An efficiency prize
will be awarded to the chapter as
a whole if every member takes part
in the contest.

THE TIGER BASEBALLERS ARE
i ROUNDING INTO CONDITION
Moreymen Are Handicapped By Cold Weather; First Game
To Be Played Next Friday
With the opening game of the sea­son
only a matter of something like
seven days, Coach Morey is putting
the finishing touches on his charges
4o round out the first diamond aggre­gation
turned out in Auburn by the
new mentor. Meanwhile the bugs
are anxious to cast their glimmers on
the maiden efforts of the charges
when the curtain is officially rolled
skyward in the Village:
After taking on the Infantrymen
at Gowdy Field, the Tigers carry the
enemy over into Tigertown . with
them, in order to pry off the lid be­fore
the home crowd. Following
this return duo of tilts with the Ben-ningites,
the crew of Bulldogs from
Athens will come over for a couple
of encounters.
The Tigers will not be allowed the
advantage of a single practice after­noon
to recuperate during the seven
day period during which they take
the field every afternoon except Sun­day.
To date the gang has had very lit­tle
actual experience under fire, due
mainly to the fact that the recent
cold spell which has had the Village
in its grip for the past couple of
weeks, seems never inclined to let up.
The squad has been unable to swing
into any real work, and only two
practice games with the scrubs have
been engaged in up to the time that
this is being written.
•With the former stellar Rodents
cavorting around the turf with the
best of last year's outfit, prospects
for this season seemed rosy indeed.
• It seemed as though we were on the
road to better last year's record,
which consisted of winning one con­ference
game and copping a few
"games* with other aggregations such
as Birmingham-Southern and Ho­ward.
And it still seems that way.
But the boys are not hitting the
apple, and no team can hope to rise
among the select if it cannot step
into, and bust that agate once in a
while. In two full afternoons of
practice we saw exactly two balls go
over the dump in right field. When
the weather gets a little more luke­warm,
perhaps the boys will sharpen
the batting eyes.
From all appearances at present
the Tigers are going to have a classy
fielding aggregation. The infield ap­pears
to be all that can be expected,
with James at first, Stewart covering
the keystone, the slugging Hitch­cock
at the torrid station, and Ben
Sankey at short.
The shifting of Geechie Stewart
to the keystone should improve the
innerworks considerably. The key­stone
is one of the most difficult
berths in the infield to fill, and
the presence of the only remaining
veteran infielder at the middle sack
should serve to steady the gang of
newly arrivals, should they show any
tendency toward wobbling.
Ben Sankey, the highly touted
shortstopper appears to be all that
has been said of him in the field,
and lacks only experience. Benjamin
should get plenty of that with Coach
Morey at the helm of things. How­ever,
the Nauvoo product seems to
have the same weakness that has
been camping on the trail of his
mates viz inability to crack 'em out
into the open spaces.
Hitchcock and James, the other
new members of the infield, have
been performing up to snuff. Fobb,
at first, appears to have all of the
fire and dash that the former Lee
County Hi performer displayed last
year with the Rodents. Hitchcock
doesn't appear to be as fast as he
might be, but more than atones for
this by his hitting. Hitchy is one
of the few who are wading into the
pellet in the style in which it is ac­customed.
Just who Morey will start in the
outfield is still much of a problem.
The headliners for the three berths
are Jelly Akin, Bozo Self, Kangaroo
Ellis, Herb Steen, Joe Market, and
Joe Wallis.
The combination that has been
working in the gardens to date, has
been Akin and Self in left, Ellis in
center and Wallis in right. This
combination should give fairly good
hitting strength, though Steen and
Market hit well up in the list last
spring.
Dick Maury, who suffered an in­jury
to the little finger of his throw­ing
appendage, a couple of weeks
ago, is still on the incapacitated list.
It is not known just when the Spring
Hill product will be ready to resume
competition for the catching berth,
though it is estimated at a couple of
weeks.
Meanwhile Ebb James is handling
the mask and wind pad in quite
an acceptable fashion, and it will
prove a difficult task to dislodge him.
"Clabber" Williams is doing the as­sisting
in the receiving department.
As yet the pitchers are of unknown
quality. They haven't been under
fire enough for the Tiger charged
d'affaires to tell just who's who in
the organization. However, Sheri­dan,
Moulton, Hardwick, and Hughe's
have been paving the way.
The Jungaleer chieftan has been
instructing his men in some of finer,
tactics of the sport for the past few
day's. Base running, picking op­ponents
off the sacks, and judgment
iinderfire in the field, have come in
for their share of the instruction.
Jax Normal Girls
Trim Tigerettes
With Captain Rubye Powell on
the Sideline as a result of an attack
of the well-known "flu," the Tiger
Co-eds ran true to form, and kept
their season record straight by drop­ping
the final game to Jacksonville
Normal 33 to 18.
Sporting a good center, and a pair
of heavyweight but surefire for­wards,
the visitors began to score
before the starter had finished blow­ing
his whistle. The Tigerettes, as
usual, put up a gallant fight, but
their neglect in preventing the Misses
Crowley and Blair from taking pos­session
of the ball, kept them on the
short end of the score from the very
beginning.
At the end of the quarter the visi­tors
were in the lead 10 to 3, and
kept up their work in the second
period, running up the eount to 16
to 6. During the first half our her­oines
had acted more or less as in­terested
spectators, but at the be­ginning
of the second semester they
began to take part in the game, and
toward the end of the contest ap­peared
to have the Jax girls on the
run. In fact it is estimated that had
the game lasted two hours and fif­teen
minutes longer our own Co-eds
might have won their first, last, and
only game of the season.
The aforementioned Misses Crow­ley
and Blair did all the scoring for
the visitors, registering 13 and 20
points respectively. The procedure
was simple enough—Williams would
get hold of the ball, pass it to one
or the other of the forwards, and
=aid forward, with great ease, calm,
deliberation, would drop the pellet
through the net, and the scorer would
register another pair of points.
With the Co-eds it was a different
tale. Being backed away from the
goal by some very efficient guarding,
the local lasses were obliged to back
off and resort to a long distance com­munication
with the basket. These
efforts were not entirely attended
with success in the first half, the
entire backboard being missed on
Outfielder Joe Wallis
One of the first problems that
the new Tiger mentor was forced
to solve was at first base. Three can­didates
were out for the initial sack,
Joe Wallis, of last year's squad,
Nappy Hodges, who returned after
several year's absence from Auburn,
and Fobb James, one of the stars
of last year's Rat squad.
All three of these men looked good
for the position and each had his
champion. After watching the trio
work around the first station Morey
decided to send Joey to the outer-garden.
Fobb James is a lefthander
and handles himself with ease around
the sack. Both Wallis and James
are good hitters and, as the services
of either of these two were to valu­able
to be lost, the Bengal leader
shoved Wallis into the right garden.
Wallis played at the initial sack
for the baby Tigers when he first
".ame to the Village in 1923. Gradu­ating
to the Varsity squad last year
the Talledega lad stepped into the
shoes of Fancher and covered the
bag in great style. Joe shared sec­ond
place in individual batting hon­ors
for the team with Herb Steen,
each of these lads compiling an
average of .298. Ed Allen was the
only man to rise above the coveted
mark of .300. .
At present Joe seems to be hit­ting
up to his last year's form and
appears to be a fixture in the right
station. His fielding is quite up to
snuff and the Talladega lad should
have his best year this season in the
outfield. He, swings the ash from
the left side.
Eight Jungaleers
Given Numerals
As a result of their services in
basketball, eight Tigers were voted
letters last week.
The following are the letter men
of this year: Captain Bill McKin-ney
of Mobile, ,and Captain-elect
Kangaroo Ellis of Marvel, forwards;
Sam Hall of Tarrant City, and Speedy
Snyder, of Oakman, -centers; ' Bill
Gray of Jasper, Fobb- James of Au­burn,
George Evans of Mobile, and
Jelly Akin of Notasulga, guards.
Of these men Ellis, Hall, Snyder,
and Akin are receiving their numerals
for the first time.
several occasions. Toward the end
of the game, however, Tucker found
the range and began to loop baskets
in a manner that was distressing in
the extreme to the opposition. Tuck­er
and Drake put up the best all-around
exhibition, scoring all the
points and playing the best floor
game.

Tiger Tracksters*
Have Work Oat
Despite the fact that the weather
has been anything but temperate
lately in the Fairest Village, 40 Tiger
Tracksters, candidates for the Var­sity
squad, and about 25 Frosh have
been laboring faithfully on the cin­der
paths of Drake Field. 9
Five experienced men are the on­ly
ones remaining to form a nuceleus
around which Hutsell will attempt
to reconstruct his track outfit which.
is shattered by the loss of eight men
through graduation last year. In
this group are two sprinters, "Nurmi"
Nelson and "Pea" Greene, two hur­dlers,
"Weemie" Baskin and "Pea"
Greene, and a couple of distance men
Cliff Morrow and Shorty Morrow.
The outstanding performers who
came up from last year's freshmen
are Snyder and Broughton in the
sprints, Tamplin and Young in the
440, and Carrol in the shot put.
"Speedy" Snyder is the best known
of the lot. The pace setting Birm-inghamer
is one of the fastest men
on the field, and his presence with
"Nurmi" Nelson and "Pea" Greene
should give the Hutsell crew a good
sprinting outfit.
Bobby Locke, one of the outstand­ing
pole vaulters of the south last
year will not be on hand this spring,
and his presence will be sorely miss­ed.
To replace the tall Tiger, Hut­sell
has two men, Malcom Meadors
and J. C. Creel, both of whom will
require an extra amount of training.
In the person of "Weemie" Bas­kin,
who operated in the high and low
hurdles, the shot put, and discus,
the Bengal mentor has one of the
outstanding men, in southern cinder
realms. The Carrollton .lad was high
point man in the Southeastern A.
A. U. meet last spring scoring 13
points. Baskin also set the pace in
point scoring for his mates last-year,
tallying 83. Tacked on to his list
of achievements is the southern con­ference
record in the 120 yard high
hurdles, which stands at 15 2-5. ,
"Pea" Greene, who finished second
to Baskin in scoring points has late­ly
been specializing in the hurdles
in addition to his old standbys, the
century and broad jump. Green for
his first year in the hurdles seems
to be coming along nicely. He has
worlds of speed, and, should he de­velop
the necessary form, the ex-football
star should make a good
point man in the hurdling depart­ment.
For the distance events Hutsell
has two experienced men in the per­sons
of the two brothers, Cliff and
"Shorty" Morrow, for the miler and
two miler, respectively.
The broad jump department ap­pears
to be well fortified by the pre­sence
of three strong candidates,
Greene, Nelson, and Snyder. Of
these men Greeners perhaps the out­standing
jumper, the tall Tiger hav­ing
turned in good work for the- past
couple of years. All three of these
men possess an abundance of speed.
Snyder is a new man in the broad
jump but seems to possess the nec-sary
qualifications.
Coach Hutsell, who has turned out
WEEMIE BASKIN
Meet one of the hest, if not the
best all-around track man in the
whole southland, Weems Oliver Bas­kin,
who does his tracking under the
guidance of Coach Hutsell.
Weemie, as he is known around
the campus, is one • of the big, cogs
.around which the Tiger track men­tor
is attempting to reconstruct his
present cinder force. Last spring
the Carrollton lad scored in the high
hurdles, shot put, and discus. Not
content with this he topped off his
work by setting the pace in the scor­ing
department for the rest of his
mates to follow. To do this he ac­cumulated
a total of 38 points.
Baskin holds the southern con­ference
record for the high hurdles
at 120 yards with 15 2-5. He was
also high point man in the South­eastern
A. A. U. track meet last
spring, scoring thirteen points.
In addition to his. numerous re­cords,
scattered here and there, Bas-'
kin caps the climax by being the
proud possessor of an Auburn record.
The Carrollton product claims the
honor of leading any other Auburn
man in the low hurdles at Drake
Field, with a record of 25 7-10.
Last year in the dual meet with
the Georgia Bulldogs, Weemie had a
sort of a field day, turning in a total
of 18 points for the day's work. In
accomplishing this he was forced to
win out in the high hurdles, low hur­dles,
and discus, and to finish second
in the heaving the shot.
Baskin is just now enjoying his
second year on the cinder path. Not
only is he proficient in the track
sport but also dabbles in football.
Weemie earned his numeral as a
regular flankman on Kirk Newell's
Freshman eleven in his first year in
the Village, and followed this up by
making a strong bid for a Varsity
berth last year.
. Great things are being expected of
the Carrollton product this coming
season. Baskin is a Junior in the
school of Secondary Education.
teams for the past four years that
have never been defeated in a dual
meet, is not optimistic regarding pos­sibilities
for another good combine.
Prospects are slim' especially in the
distance department where the men­tor
has but two experienced men. As
a whole the squad appears short on
varsity material, and there are no im­mediate
prospects of anymore'var­sity
material bobbing up on the hor­izon
to replace any of that which
has departed.

CASUAL COMMENT i
Just one more week! One more
week until the first Tiger strolls to
the platter to take his first official
whack at that pill for the 1926 sea­son.
The Tigers start operations with
the Ft. Benning Soldiers, playing the
first couple of games in the city of
musketry, and from thence to the
Fairest Village, where we will have
the pleasure of seeing our own Jun­galeers
play their first game on their
own lot.
After the games with the Benning-ites,
the Tigers- will take on Georgia
in a couple.
The poor, tired catcher will not
be forced to labor behind the plate
any more. Morey has a new screen,
at least it is a new thing on the
campus, though it has been in use
almost everywhere else.
The boys are not swatting the pill
as they should in the practice work.
It seems as though they have had
ample time to get their orbs attuned
to the oncoming pellet. But the fact
remains that the lads are not swat­ting
'em out. Maybe they'll come
around all right when the season act­ually
gets underway. At least we
hope so.
Mike and Ike, they look alike. So
do the James twins, Ebb and Fobb.
When such persons as their own
team mates and Coach Morey and
Slick Moulton can't distinguish them,
how'can persons less familiar with the
antics of the pair, hope to have any
lack. It has been suggested that
a white ribbon be tied around one
so that they might be readily told.
We must admit that the pair look
good in the varsity duds. James be­hind
the plate, James on the initial
sack, Sankey at short, and the slug­ging
Walt Hitchcock at third, make
the old innerworks look hot in our
humble estimation. All of these
men are members of the younger
social set recently arrived from the
Frosh. With Stewart at second to
strengthen and steady the combine,
we should have a hundred thousand
dollar combination at least, that is
if the boys will only hit!
It is too j?ad that the field in
right was not expended so that a
long swat in that direction will not
be held to only two bases. Many a
man who has poled out a homer in
that direction has been deprived of
the fruits of his good work by the
fact that the field has been cut
down in right. Imagine how many
homers the greatest slugger of all
times would get if all of his work
were confined to our little bailiwick.
All of the mighty wollops driven into
right would be cut to two sacks.
It seems that the Tiger mounds-men
are several jumps in the lead
of the batters. This is evident by
the way the members of the twirling
corps are able to work the corners
of the platter.
When we saw Dog Face out of the
hill winding and unwinding in his own
inimitable way, we knew that the sea­son
was in full bloom. After a dis­appointing
season, Sheridan came
back into form last year, and turned
in some good performances with the
old souper. The Bessemer lad should
of the arms of either iEbb or Fobb, go great in this, his last year.

Kangaroo Buck Ellis, after serving
but one year in the livery of a big
Tiger, has been given the honor of
captaining the Tiger quintette for
next fall. •
Ellis served during the last cam­paign
at forward, playing alongside
of Captain Bill McKinney, and rang
up a total of points that easily top­ped
the century mark. He was run­ner
up by only a few points to the
leader scorer, Bill McKinney. The
Kangaroo never had a bad day of
it and many times topped the list
of scorers for the day's work. His
work was of such all-around quality
that he was easily one of the out­standing
stars of the squad.
George Johnscm Ellis hails from
Marvel. He received his prep school
training at Simpson Hi of • Birming­ham,
where he starred on the court
for a period of four years. He
first played in the Fairest Village
when he and his mates came to en­ter
the Cotton States basketball tour­ney
and finally wrested the crown
for Tiny - Hearn and his Georgia
Military contestants after a bitterly
faught battle in the finals.
Ellis is enrolled in the general
business department of the college
and is a member of the Sigma Phi
Epsilon Fraternity.
Hall Elected Manager
Samuel Spencer Hall, Bengal cen­ter
for the past couple of years, who
will play his last year next fall, was
elected to succeed Bill Gray as
manager of the squad. To Sam goes
the job of getting dates all rigged
up for the squad to hit the rails
next fall. \

A rare treat was given to the var­ious
literary societies recently by
Prof. C. R. Hixon of the' M.E. depart­ment.
Prof. Hixon pulled some hair
raising card tricks and psycho-analy­sis
of the individual.
In a short but snappy and instruc­tive
way, Prof. Hixon related briefly
the history of the magic and magic
books and then traced the history and
adventures of several famous magi­cians.
"The secret of pulling these
hazardous tricks to the admiration
of the aduience is based upon prac­tice,
skill, quick action and getting
your audience to follow you very
closely in every trick pulled," said the
professor.
Prof. Hixon learned to be magician
through practice, reading and study­ing
books written upon magics and
tricks. "One day a magic show came
to my home town," said the magician
and "I decided that I wanted to be
a magician. I went to work and read
all magic 'and trick books that I
could find and talked with any ma­gician
that I happened to meet. It
was in this way and through prac­tice
I acquired my little skill in the
line of tricks and magic."
This wonderful magician and pro­fessor
has travelled several years on
the road as a magician but the last
eight years has kept him busy teach­ing
in college. Prof. Hixon has had
several offers to go on the road with
his tricks and magic stunts, but he has
declined on account of summer school
and time is too short during the sumr
mer months.
Prof. Hixon showed several tricks
with cards which he pulled to amuse
his large audience. Although he had
not pulled them in several years,
they were fine and no mistakes
made. Among the most exciting and
breath holding tricks were his psy­cho-
analysis performed on Pat Moul-ton.
In these tricks, he showed how
he could fasten the hands together
and by having the person to concen­trate
on the trick the person could
not move his hands apart at his count.
Pat lost control of his hands and did
not move them when he gave the
command to move them.
A large crowd was present to see
and hear Prof. Hixon talk about
magic and tricks. Members of all
the literary societies were present
and everyone was convinced that
they received their money's worth.
It is hoped that Prof. Hixon will re­peat
his . performance in the future
and such an indication was manifes­ted
by the large number that greeted
the Professor at this performance
and in words of appreciation after the
performance.
tute, delegates who wish to return
to Montgomery at the close of the
final session in Tuskegee Tuesday
evening may do so on a special train.
B.Y.P.U. ORGANIZE
A NEW UNION SUN.
PING PONG TOURNEY
"The Good Work is Going on."
The Holmes union, of the Auburn B
Y. P. U., has another scalp to its
belt. Another new union has been
organized, with good results. This
was accomplished on last Sunday,
when twelve members went to Shi-loh
and did the job.
A new union was organized Sun­day
afternoon, at 3:30, at Shiloh,
with Marshall Hugley being elected
president of the new union. The
other officers were elected, and the
union started on a successful begin­ning,
with over twenty members to
begin with. The entire community
seemed interested in the work. All
were for the project, which made it
easy for the Holmes union to or­ganize
just after they had presented
their sample program. r
Those who made the trip were: I.
S. Johnson, president of the Holmes
union, E. T. Bright, F. M. Sparks,
R. E. Smith, T. S. Morrow, E. T.
Martin, C. C. Phillips, Eunice Stin­nett,
Sarah Ingram, Thelma Graves,
Neida Martin, and Bessie White, all
Holmes members; with E. W. Holmes
pastor of the Auburn Baptist chHrch,
Miss Leland Cooper, B. Y. P. U. direc­tor
of Auburn, Martin Palmer, direc­tor
of the extention work, John
Wright, Nell Martin, and Lorene
Parrish.
The recent Ping Pong tournament
conducted by the local Y. M. C. A.
was won by C. S. Stowe of Opelika.
Stowe defeated Gerald Salter in the
final match which consisted of the
best three out of five sets. The
scores in these matches were 7-5,
8-6, 1-6, 1-6, and 8-6. The match
started in a rather offsided manner
with Salter winning the first four
games and from a spectators stand­point
it looked as though he would
cinch the match. The never die
spirit of Stowe carried him on to
victory even though the odds were
against him at times. Stowe fin­ally
won the first set by his dazzling
consistent playing and placing. The
second set was won in a like manner
and all that Stowe had to do was
to win one of the next three sets.
Salter staged a come back and won
this set rather decisively, 6-1 he fol­lowed
this by winning the fourth set
by the same score. With the score
tied two all, the winner of the fifth
jet would be declared the winner of
the tournament. Salter at one time
had the score 5-2 and set match
point three times, but not once did
his daunt the bull dog grit of the
Opelika wizard. He was very cool
in the pinches and fought like Her­cules
for every point. His style was
strictly Ping Pong, with the man
possessing the most consistency win­ning.
He also showed up well-in his
excellent placement game. The style
>f Salter was just exactly opposite
that'of Stowe, as he played a smash­ing
game, which at first bewildered
his opponent, but who later had lit­tle
trouble returning them. Stowe
was awarded" the first prize, and Sal­ter
was awarded second honors.
W. G. Nunn of Lochopoka won 3rd
honors by virtue of his win over Don­ald
Gardner of Auburn. Gardner
reached the semi finals, winning
fourth place by his win over W. C.
Floyd. W. G. Nunn drew a very
tough assignment but he survived all
comers until he reached Stowe. Nunn
defeated "Scrappy" Moore and El­mer
Salter to place in the semi finals.
The list of those competing and
the first round winners were: Don­ald
Gardner defeated H. L. Mc­Queen;
W. C. Floyd defeated H. A.
Small; Gerald Salter defeated J.
Albright; Sam Neville defeated "Rat"

every s m o o t h tour
smoother, adds of its
own contentment to
every delightful journey.
Camels never tire your
taste or leave a cigaretty
after-taste. Pay what
you will, you'll never get
choicer tobaccos than
those in Camels.
So this night as the
forest-topped hills race
by in moonlit proces­sional.
As the magic
road curves through the
colonnades of birches-have
then the finest made,
regardless of price.
Have a Camel!
Camels contain the very choicest tobaccos grown in all the
world. Camels are blended by the world's most expert
blenders. Nothing is too good for Camels. In the making
of this one brand we concentrate the tobacco Jtnowledge and
skill of the largest organization of tobacco experts in the
world, fyo other cigarette made is like Camels. They are
the overwhelming choice of experienced smokers.

Our highest with, if you
do not yet know Camel
quality, it that you try
them. We invite you to
compare Camels with
amy cigarette made at
any price.

The tournament was conducted by
•egular -Ping Pong rules. 'This is
the first time Auburn has ever con­ducted
an event of this order and
plans are under way for another
one to follow in the near future.
Inasmuch as the game of Ping
Pong is setting Florida afire_there is
little wonder that it is making such
rapid strides at Auburn. It is really
an innovation at Auburn and from
all indications it is here to stay. If
there are men at Auburn who con­sider
the game a very small matter,
come around to the "Y" and let the
champs give you a work out.
EPWORTH LEAGUE
HAVE GOOD MEETING
ELECS D I S C U SS
GENERALTOPICS
The regular meeting of the A. I.
E. E. was productive of much ex­temporaneous
talks from the menr-bers.
After the main talk, which
was a discussion of "Telechron
Clocks," in which' W: T. Edwards
told of the origin of the electrically
controlled clock and its growth to
general offices use, an open business
and discussion' meeting was held.
The society decided to change its
place of meeting to the second floor
of the Ramsay Engineering hall,
where better accomodations may be
had. It is thought that the society
will benefit by such a change.
During the course of the meeting
F. D. Haley and J. N. Nelms were
admitted to membership. There is
no reason why other elecs should not
be coming out. You men who have
chosen electricity as a profession
come to the A. I. E. E. and get
something that will help you in the
work.
Conductor: "Excuse me, lady, but
this is a smoking car."
Lady: "Fine; got a cigarette?
"What key are you playing in?"
"Key of C."
"Sounds like L."—Va. Tech.
• The Epworth Leagues of the Au­burn
Union met in their respective
jlaces last Sunday night at the usual
time. There was a good program in
each of them .
Two of these Leagues now have
names. The league, of which A. P.
Francis is president will henceforth
be called the "McLeod League" while
the one with W. D. Stewart as pre­sident
has elected to be called "The
Davidsonian" The other one, with
W. H. Francis as president is still
nameless.
There has been a combination box
supper and Track Party planned for
Friday night, March 12. It will be
in the church parlor at 8:00 P. M.
From all indications Miss Mildred
Locke has something up her sleeve,
and a good time will be assured.
Next Sunday, March 14, there will
be an' union meeting of the Leagues
at the regular meeting hour. At, this
union meeting Mr. O. S. Gates will
speak. Air. Gates, who is Superin­tendent
of the department of Young
People's work of the General Sunday
School Board, will be in Auburn to
teach in the Auburn-Opelika Stand­ard
Training School. The League is
indeed fortunate in having so good
a speaker. Eyeryone is welcome.

MAJOR SMITH MAKES
TALK TO FRESHMEN
( Continued from page 1)
Dr. Dowell, who told of the great
work that Major Smith did overseas,
and of his great work since he has
returned to the states. He is past
commander of the Auburn Ameri­can
Legion.
Major Smith told of the great
deeds that were accomplished by
the Auburn men overseas, and he ad­vocated
the building of a memorial
to their memory, just as much as
memorials are erected to the honor
of the men that followed the for­tunes
of Stonewall Jackson and Ro­bert
E. Lee. This memorial could
be built in the form of a large
building, where the people could be
educated in the fundamentals of good
will and fellowship.
"The Auburn men never flattered
when duty called, and when the time
arose they covered themselves with
glory. They served their country
when civilization was at its satura­tion
point, and they responded nobly
to every worth while expedition."
High tribute was paid to the men
who wore no shoulder bars, as their
contribution was just as great as that
of generals. The musicicians also
performed in a heroic manner, as
they were just as necessary as the
men who handled the machine guns.
The names of these Auburn men will
always be revered Bullard, Sibert,
Noble, Carroll, Wren, Bidez, and
Taylor, while many others could be
named.
"In every participation or struggle
the Auburn men kept the grand old
name of Alabama pure and untarn­ished.
Even in the midst of the bat­tle
in July 1919, when the old fourth
Alabama helped defeat the crack
Prussian guard, the grand name
shown in glory and splendor. The
part Alabama and Auburn men play­ed
in the war has been told on num­ber
of times, and no praise can be
given that befits their heroism."
In conclusion the speaker related
how good it would be if international
peace and good will always preaviled,
but as long as nations are selfish and
covetous of each other there will be
m
no end of wars.

PERSONALS
Mrs. Bowley and two children ar­rived
recently from San Francisco
to make their home in Auburn. Lt.
Bowley is connected with the Mili­tary
Department here, and was prior
to his coming to Auburn stationed
in California.
Mrs. J. B. Leitch returned the past
week from Fort Benning where she
has been under treatment at the
Post Hospital.
Capt. George Cushman had as his
guests during the past week his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. G.
H. Cushman, Sr., of Chattanooga.
Dr. Herbert Osborn of Ohio State
University is spending this week in
Auburn visiting Professor Robinson
associate professor of Zoology and
Entomology, and Professor Guyton,
assistant professor of Zoology and
Entomology, who were his former
students.
Doctor Osborn has spent the past
month in Florida collecting leaf
hoppers which he will carry back to
Ohio with him. He is an international
authority on the leaf hopper. The
Ag club was addressed by Doctor
Osborn last Wednesday night.
In 1897 Doctor Osborn went to
Ohio State University where he has
worked since that time. He is now
doing research work in Zoology and
Entomology for the university.
Last Monday Doctor Osborn came
to Auburn to spend the following
week. When he leaves, he will go
to Mississippi A. & M. college where
he will probably spend a week. Af­ter
he has been in Mississippi for a
few days he will return to Ohio
State University to resume his work
there.

point, and also of his associations
with great entomologists.
Preceeding Dr. Osborn's address
Prof. M. L. Nichols of the agricul­tural
faculty, and president of the
honor society, Gamma Sigma Delta,
welcomed the speaker in behalf of
the department and the society. Prof-
J. M. Robinson, head professor of
Zoology and Entomology, and former
student of Dr. Osborn's, introduced
the speaker to the club. Prof. Ro­binson
described the speaker as a
man of much human sympathy for
his students, and also a man that is
gifted with an unusual memory for
remembering names and faces. "He
is one of the greatest men in the
entolomogy profession today, being
ranked with such men as, Dr. L. 0.
Howard, chief of the bureau of en­tomology;
Dr. J. H. Comstock, emeri­tus
professor of entomology of Corn­ell
University; Dr. S. A. Forbes, Uni­versity
of Illinois; and Dr. H. T.
Fernald, author and professor of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Dr. Osborn is one of the old timers
in the profession today, but his over
seventy years would hardly show the
fact.
Dr. Osborn discussed his associa­tions
with some of the great ento­mologists
of the day, and told brief­ly
of the game from its beginning.
The entomology profession has shown
rapid strides of growth in the last
fifty years, and today it is recogni­zed
what a bearing it has on life and
its economic standpoint. Lantern
slides were shown of the greatest en
tomologists of all times from its
start up to the present day.
The pictures of Riley, Comstock,
Fernald, Walsh, and Howard were
especially outstanding as great con
tributors to the science.
"Many men entered the profeS'
sion because they love the life, and
they give their entire time to this
work, while others just give part
of their time to this great work.
Pioneers have entered this work from
many outside professions but the most
notable men entering are physicians,
preachers, and actors. There have
been rapid strides made in the ad­vancement
of this science, but there
is still considerable work to be done
that affords the young men of this
generation a wonderful opportunity."
At the conclusion of the address
O. C. Helms, president of the agri­cultural
club thanked Dr. Osborn for
his talk, and extended him a very
cordial invitation to visit the club
again when he comes South.
