ENIOR INSPECTION TRIP
TO BE HELD IN MARCH
Included Trip to Birmingham
and Muscle Shoals; Gen
eral Business Studes Pri
vileged To Go
The Senior inspection trip will be
held during the latter part of March,
the definite date to be announced
later. The trip will include tours
of the Montgomery telephone ex­change,
the various industries in and
around Birmingham, a visit to Chero­kee
Bluffs, Mitchell Dam and Muscle
Shoals. Negotiations are being car­ried
on with the companies who own
the properties for entertainment of
the Seniors. The party will leave
Auburn to be gone seven days, it
is thought that the tour will begin
Saturday, March 24 and will last
through Sunday of the week follow­ing.
All Engineers and General stu­dents
are expected to make the trip.
Those students in the General course
who have definitely decided upon
a specific line of work will be ex­cused
from the tour. About three
hundred and fifty students will make
the trip.
Each year inspection tours are
held for the benefit of Seniors so
as to give them an insight into and
a practical knowledge of the work
j"to which they expect to enter. Last
yeaJ^'^Se^tfeneral' Students -flhl trotf-make
the trip to Muscle Shoals, hav­ing
utilized the time in visiting the
commercial business houses in Birm­ingham.
They were the guests of
jtbe ^Birmingham Rotary Club at a
luncheon given in their honor.
Dr. Allison Is
Convo. Speaker
Dr. Fred Allison, head professor of
Physics addressed the Freshmen at
their last convocation meeting. Dr.
Allison used part of his time in a
lecture on the universe, and had spe
cial slides shown to emphasize his
statements.
Dr. Allison was introduced by Pre­sident
Dowell, who stated that he
really needed no introduction, rank
ing as one of the leading scientists
in the country.
Dr. Allison described the arrange­ment
and structure of the atoms
in a very simple manner so that even
Freshmen could understand it.
After hearing Dr. Allisons talk a
person certainly realizes what a
small particle they consist of in com
parison with the bodies that make up
the universe. The speaker gave the
distances of the main heavenly bodi­es
from the earth.
The address was enjoyed to the
fullest extent, the speaker holding the
attention of the Rats the entire hour,
which is quite an unusual feat in
itself.
Senior Class Meeting
HastoBe-Postpanei
Due to the fact that the attendance
at the last Senior Class' meeting was
in excess of five persons, President
Ted Phillips, after a few moments
of mental struggle, decided to. call
off the meeting until some future
date. It is expected that the at­tendance
will be even greater when
the dignified class convenes again on
Tuesday, January 26, 1926.
Mr. Phillips has expressed a wish

one of the meetings. The experience
be a novel one, and should be en­joyable.
Attractive programs and
agricultural statistician, and J. D.: surprises have been arranged by the
Pope, specialist in farm management
and agricultural economist.
This decline is due, to lower prices
for cotton and cotton seed, which
constitute the main income for Ala­bama
farmers. On the other hand,
the total income of the Alabama cot­ton
crop of 1925 was $155,000,000
which was the largest on record, the-nearest
approach being the 1919
crop which brought approximately
genial class president in the future,
and at least one-fourth of the class
should be on hand next time.
At a recent meeting of the class
it was voted to .have a meeting on the
second and fourth Tuesday of each
month, for the general good and wel­fare
of the class. These meetings

Elaborate arrangements are being
made to make the Junior Prom one
of the most enjoyable social func­tions
of the year according to Ed
McCall chairman of the social com­mittee.
The decoration for the gym
will be in harmony with the apparel
of the dancers who will be in full

Friday evening, and at the
same times on Saturday. The formal
dances will be the night dances and
the dances will be sponsored by the
various campus organizations as a
part of the initiation of their candi­dates.
It is not known definitely whether
there will be a masked ball Friday
night, but efforts are being made by
the Social Committee to secure the
consent of the faculty to deviate
from the usual Friday night dances
and allow them to give the mask
ball.

The Bank of Auburn celebrated
it •; nineteenth anniversary by re-elec­ting
officers and declaring a net
earning of 25 per cent on the capital
.stock last year. A 10 per cent divi­dend
was paid and 15 per cent pass­ed
over to the surplus account.
The officers re-elected are S. L.
Toomer, president, Dr. C. A. Cary,
vice-president, and W. D. Martin,
c;>shier. The board of directors are:
S. L. Toomer, C. A. Cary, W. D.
Martin, B. B. Ross, C. S. Yarbrough,
C. A. Jones, C. L. Hare, Emmett
Sizemore, Thomas Bragg, B. L. Shi.
Emmett Sizemore is the only new
member of the board, he taking the
place of T. O. Wright, deceased.
The official report showed de-
W9
posits of $225,000. Until little more
than two years ago it was the only
bank in Auburn. It opened in
January, 1907, with an authorized
capital stock of $25,000. Only 40
per cent, or $10,000, was paid in
when the bank opened and the re­mainder
has been paid by stock di­vidends.
The history of this bank is unique
also in that it has had the same of­ficers
and been located in the same
building from the beginning. When
it was authorized more than half of
the capital stock was held by people
of Montgomery but now all of it is
owned by people in Auburn except
a small portion which is owned by
people who have moved away.
UNIVERSITY EXPRESSES AP-PRECIATION
OF SUPPORT
Ins-
Mr. Roy Dimmitt,
Care Alabama Polytechnic
titute,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Mr. Dimmitt:
The football team and the
whole University is especially ap­preciative
of the many messages
of encouragement and support
from the Auburn men all over
the'country at the time of our
game in Pasadena. I feel that we
should express our appreciation to
someone and it seems that you
are the logical one. It was a great
help to us to feel that we had
the support of our friends back
home and this, I am sure, had a
great deal to do with our team
developing the spirit to win. We
shall always remember the kind
support which we received from
you and other Auburn men when
we were so far away from home.
Again thanking you for your
kind messages and with kindest re­gards,
I am,
Very truly yours,
WALLACE WADE,
Athletic Director.
A Dixie Students' Tour for the
summer of 1926 is being organized
and will be conducted under the per­sonal
supervision of Dr. Charles M.
Strong, head of the Economics De­partment.
The itinerary includes
visits to New v0rk, Cherbourg, Paris,
Nice, Genoa, Rome, Naples, Florence,
Venice, Milan, Lucerne, a steamer
trip up the Rhine, where Heidleberg,
Cologne, Brussells, and Amsterdam
will be visited. London will also be
visited before the return to \ the
I
States.
The tour is arranged for Southern
students and teachers and includes
visits to places of historical and li­terary
interest, trips on Swiss Lakes,
and motoring along the Rivera and
the Bay of Naples. Side trips and
excursions are included. The tour
is under the business management of
the Stratford Tourist Company, who
conduct varied tours during the year.
Dr. Strong has engaged in news­paper
and publicity work in Cuba
and Mexico, and was exchange pro­fessor
to Chile from the University
of Washington in 1917-18. He was
for a number of years a member of
the faculty/of Boston University both
in Havana and in the home univer­sity.
He has been engaged in con­ducting
European tours for a num­ber
of years having conducted a tour
the past summer through England,
Scotland, France and Germany, In
1924 he conducted a tour made by
the Students of the Illinois Military
School through France and England.
EXPECTS 50,000 CHICKS
BY EARLY SPRING
LOST—One black bill fold con­taining
ten one dollar bills. Has own­ers
name on bill fold. Please return
und receive reward.
With the hatching season already
started, the poultry department here
expects to hatch 50,000 chicks this
spring. Most of them will be cus­tom
hatching, although a large num­ber
will be kept by the department.
Dr. J. F. Hill of Montgomery will
be the largest customer, he having
contracted with the department to
hatch 28,000 eggs for him this spring.
Dr. Hill now has 3,000 white leghorn
hens and expects to add 5,000 during
the year, bringing his total up to
8,000. Many of those hatched this
spring will be sold as early spring
broilers, as cockerels, or as other
breeding stock.
The Oak Ridge Poultry Farm of
Letohatchie has contracted for 7,000
and J. M. Baldwin of Verbena for
6,600.
The department has three incuba­tors
with a total capacity of 13,000.
Many of the chicks hatched during
January and February will go to the
market as broilers when about eight
weeks old, at which time they should
weigh around a pound and a half
each.
After completing plans for the
current hatching season, Prof. John
E. Ivey, head of the poultry depart­ment,
said that the present outlook
is for a strong demand for early
spring broilers next Spring. Al­though
prices have been good in for­mer
years, farmers and poultrymeu
have always fallen far short of sup­plying
home markets. Early spring
broilers is now one of the most at­tractive
phases of the poultry busi­ness.
Efforts are being made to send
the fifty piece Auburn Band to Mo­bile
for the Mardi Gras Festival
taking place February 11-15. Mo­bile
authorities are negotiating with
several organizations in the state in­cluding
other college bands, to play
there during Mardi Gras, and the
Auburn Band has been mentioned
among those desired. It is said that
the entire expense of carrying the
band to Mobile will be paid by the
Mardi Gras officials.
Mardi Gras is an annual event held
in Mobile modeled after the custom
adopted in Spain several years ago.
For the Festival period the entire
city is bedecked in holiday attire and
it is attended by people from the en­tire
country. Parades are held each
day in which there are floats repre­senting
various civic organizations
and bands from all sections of the
country.
The band under the leadership of
Instructor P. R. Bidez has develop­ed
into one of the finest music mak­ing
organizations in any Southern
college and during the football sea­son
has created favorable comment
after each appearance. New Uni­forms
including capes were recently
purchased from funds raised by tne
Band Drive, for the members.
F. W. BURNS APPOINTED
LIVESTOCK SPECIALIST
Over fifty out of town men and
the entire class of Senior Electricals
are in attendance at the meter school
being held here this week under the
auspices of the electrical engineering
department. There are a number of
specialists representing the General
Electric Company. The Westinghouse
and Alabama Power Companies de­livering
lectures in addition to the
lectures delivered by the members
of the faculty of the Electrical col­lege.
The school is under the direct
supervision of Prof A. St. C. Dun-stan.
A smoker was given Monday even­ing
at a local tea room with the out-of-
town members enrolled as guests
of honor. Of the number a greater
percent of the visitors are graduates
of the electrical college at Auburn.
Lectures are delivered daily con­cerning
the different phases of me­ter
work. Those in attendance are
given practical demonstrations deal­ing
with meter reading, defects,
causes, and remedies. The school
will continue through Friday.
Home Ec Workers
Arrange Fro
Staff Spends Several Days in Making
Plans
Some men are so very much at
home anywhere that they make other
people feel like company.
F. W. Burns, associate professor
of animal husbandry in the Agricul­tural
College here, has been appoint­ed
and accepted the position of ex­tension
livestock specialist, effective
February 1, succeeding L. T. Wells
who resigned during December.
The new work of Mr. Burns, as
announced by Prof. L. N. Duncan,
director, will include all kinds of live­stock
whereas Mr. Wells devoted his
efforts largely to dairying. Due to
better prices, interest in .hogs and
beef cattle is on the increase, and
that means requests are being re­ceived
for help.
Mr. Burns is well trained in live­stock
work of all kinds. He was
reared on a livestock farm near El­gin,
Illinois, which is one of the
greatest dairy sections in the entire
country. Leaving Illinois, he enter­ed
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
here in the fall of 1924 and graduated
in the class of 1917, specializing in
animal husbandry. The year follow­ing
graduation he worked on another
livestock farm in Illinois, returning
to Auburn in the fall of 1918 as as­sistant
in animal husbandry. He
has been with the department, large­ly
in teaching work, since that time.
In 1915 he received an M. S. degree
as a result of student work done
while" teaching.
Prof. Duncan announced also
that the position of extension agron­omist,
made vacant by the resignation
Members of the staff of extension
workers in home economics with
headquarters here, have just com­pleted
their plans and programs of
work for 1926. The entire staff

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
WOULD A REAL AUBURN STUDENT
DO THIS?
There has been a series of raids made
on the Dormitory Boys' property this
year, and this is a practice that is not
to be tolerated by any honest, upright,
and true Auburn student. It seems that
there are a lot of people who think that
the Boys' Dormitory is a public building,
its contents public property, all held in
common, and that they have a right to
come in and carry off anything that they
want, when they take the notion to do so.
Some boys have been heard to say that the
Victrola and records are property of the
college and that they have the right to it,
even though they do not room in the Dor­mitory.
This is not true, as the boys who
are rooming there bought the Victrola,
and paid for it themselves. It belongs to
them, alone and therefore is not public
property, as is supposed by some. Along
before Xmas, they bought a lot of new
records, and some one carried the best
ones off, even before the boys who had
paid for them had hardly had time to hear
them played. Again, this last week, some
one took the very best records which had
been bought by the boys during the Holi­days.
This is most certainly, a very un-gentlemanly
act, and we hope that the
one who did this will remember that the
Dormitory is these boys' home, and- that
they take just as much pride in it as those
who live in the Fraternities do theirs. Any­one
is welcomed by these boys, if he will
come and let their property alone. They
are more than glad to have visitors in
their home, but they do not like to have
any one come in and take their property,
without their consent. It is sincerely hoped
that this practice will be discontinued at
once, as no real, Red-blooded Auburn man
will be guilty of such a crim°.
fc
THE WIND UP
With January comes the time for taking
stock; as in business students set about to
determine through examinations just what
they have accomplished during the first
half of their- scholastic year.
To some the results will be the same
as they have experienced in years past; to
others it will mean a surprise. Whether
the surprise will be affirmative or negative
is yet to be seen. To the Freshmen it
will be their first stock taking as college
men. It is a difficult proposition for a
Freshman to become acclimated to the
new ~rder of things in his new environs
and his task will be the hardest.
We hope the number who join the lost
battallion this year will be negligible, in
fact we hope that there will not be a
single man to fall by the wayside. Those
who have idled their time away will be
given an opportunity to see wherein they
have procrastinated. If you are one of
this number get to work during the sec­ond
semester and retrieve the points you
have lost. It can be done.
THE HIGH COST OF LIGHTS
Numerous complaints have reached us
regarding excessive light bills during the
past three months. In some cases the
bills have been exhorbitant. There is evi­dently
something at fault and the causes
should be located and remedied.
In one case a house occupied by eighteen
men with an average of two lights of 60
watts each for one man was charged fifty
nine dollars for current used for a period
of thirty ^days. The meter was tested
and found to be correct and an additional
two dollars was added to the bill making
a total of sixty one dollars and eighty-five
cents. The time limit was extended and
the reduction was allowed but then, with
the reduction, the amount was excessive.
For the time from December 1, to 18
the same house was charged twenty one
dollars, after the twenty five per cent
reduction had been made, for current.
What is the cause?
PAGE DAD
Editor W. T. Sheehan in one of his re­cent
editorials in the Montgomery Ad­vertiser
assumed a mighty optimistic at­titude
in regard to the college man and
woman. He mentioned briefly the return
of the college boys to their respective
schools of learning after a fortnight spent
at home due to the holidays. The most
striking statement was that some men
were returning to college to pursue their
studies and make the best of an education
while it was presented to them. Other boys
will return to the halls of learning and
continue their same lazy no account ways
which they started when they entered col­lege.
Most fathers (who by the way are
supplying the majority of the money for
maintaining the boys in school) would
yank their son out when they do not make
the grade, but their are boys at college
that just pass enough work to keep off
of probation and dear old dad lets them
continue thinking that they will improve.
Other fathers let their sons stay in school
because they have plenty of money to
waste but friends say that they are not
reaping any benefits. Mr. Sheehan says
that regardless of whether the boy does
the work or not it is worth something for
'him to be at college associating in a
college atmosphere and mixing with col­lege
men. This is certainly commendable
in Mr. Sheehan taking this view point as
it shows that he is a real friend of the boy
and desires not to picture him all wrong
even if he turns out to be. These words
should act as a consolation and sympathy
for the father that thinks his boy is work­ing
his hard earned money.
THE LAUNDRY FEES
The Ideal Laundry (named by a man
with a sense of humor) initiated a new
fee for the students to pay this year which
was entirely optional; this fee of three
dollars was perfectly all right if any stu­dents
felt inclined to pay it. Needless to
say several took advantage of it with the
remark that they would try it out for a
semester. Other men knowing the tactics
of the laundry remarked that it would not
be long before they would try to force
this fee upon all the student body. In less
than three months time this fee which was
supposed to be optional was going to be
forced in the form of a motion upon all
whether they liked it or not. This motion
was brought before the Senior class for a
vote and it was voted down by an over­whelming
majority, of course the Seniors
knocked it in the hole as it would be neces­sary
to get their vote before it could be­come
law. The general concensus of opin­ion
favors the attitude the Seniors assum­ed
and it was considered entirely out of
place to force this upon the students who
did not desire same. There are several
men at Auburn who desire getting their
laundry done outside of the laundry but
the college rule forces them to have it
done at the laundry. This is certainly bad
enough in its self but when the laundry
tries to force the Auburn men to pay an
extra fee they are carrying it entirely be­yond
their jurisdiction. If the motion is
presented next year to the senior class it
is hoped that they will act exactly as the
class of this year and vote it down without
any hesitancy as it does not conform to
democratic standards which Auburn stands
for.
t WITH OTHER COLLEGES $
To induce students to forget the" Latin
Quarter of Paris, and to give them the
advantage of a collegiate life and the op­portunity
to work in a collegiate atmos­phere,
commodious residence quarters -have
been opened at the University of Paris.
This is but a step toward a "university
city" which the school officials hope to
build. This group of buildings is inter­spersed
with grass plots suggesting English
surburban villas. They provide quarters
for 375 students, an assembly room, libra­ry,
restaurant and athletic field.
The University has acquired a plot of

KING FOOTBALL
Football is first in the hearts of college
men in the estimation of Professor W. J.
Newlin of Amherst, according to his speech
before the American Association of College
Professors, meeting at Chicago. Mathe­matics
is a poor second.
"Football builds stadiums—mathematics
can't even build a residence hall," he said.
"Colleges have taken on all the appurten­ances
of country clubs in full blast, where
students may expect to find social recogni­tion
and build future fortunes. Alumni
should be kept away from the student body
because they emphasize too much the world
of money. The students have lost their
respect for learning. Even the public looks
askance at the man teacher. No self-respecting
man with ability would be
caught teaching school. That is a refuge
for the incompetent. The he-man goes out
making money."
A bill has been introduced into Congress

Do You Know
Christmas is coming. Yes, and so are
the dances. Can you do the Charleston?
Now we have no idea of prying into your
private affairs but it seems that since so
many dance halls have collapsed, it has
become a national issue. We were told
during the holidays, by a very enticing
young female that if the Charleston were
properly dpne no damage would be done.
So with the heroic notion of saving our
Gym ever in the back of our minds let
us give you a little advice. Go to your
land-lady and ask her to lay in a supply
of rice, and when she gets it, eat long
and fully. For you see, they raise rice
in South Carolina and partake of a goodly
quantity in the fair city of Charleston.
Then by association of ideas you can read­ily
see that as all people can do the
Charleston in Charleston because they eat
rice, you will be able to do the Charlston
in Auburn if you eat rice.
We have just been politely told that this
was terrible rot to put in the paper. We
agree with the criticiser, but then what
are we to do. That is the best way that
we can think of to learn the darn thing.

If there are six boys that have to leave
college through lack of funds, we wonder
how many think that they will have to
leave. And in the future it is going to
be even worse. Formally there used to
be great rejoicing when a check came from
nome. But what a different picture these
days. Many are the woes that a bank
can heap upon the unlucky creditor, but
what could be worse than having to give
some of your unexpected wealth to the
bank when you want to cash a check. Un-doubtably
it comes from the fact that
there are still people in the world who
will run a good thing into the ground with­out
the slightest sign of an excuse. Many
people make it a practice to pay for every
five cent article with a check and that
makes work for the bank that is entirely
out of proportion to the benefit that they
derive. So we have to pay for the prive-lege
of cashing checks. True this puts
most of the hardship on outsiders who
bank their money in another bank, but
somebody has to pay and that seems to
be the best way. Go ahead and collect
the fee. We still will be the winners if
a check conies our way.
Auburn Foot Prints
The main issue of the day is whether
or not the "Charleston" will be allowed
on the dance floor during the dances that
come next week. The objection seems to
be that the authorities predict that in case
it is allowed there will be danger of our
future basket-ball games being played
elsewhere because of the possibilities of
the "gym" giving way. You can hear
arguments both "pro" and "con" but none
final. It would be best to find out some
time before hand in case they are to be
banned because in that case several would
be out of luck.
You hear of these inspirations that live
back home and in near by towns and i t is
only by thinking of them that you are
able to say in Auburn. Or I should have
said it is only by forgetting them that
you stay in Auburn. Two of the members
in school have a n w kind of inspiration
whereby they are enabled to forget the
every day affairs of life. Kenneth Wil-kins
and "Doc" Heinz both declare that
they really and truly have "dream girls"
and believe in them to the fullest extent.-
How far they are correct I cannot say
because I have never been so fortunate
as to meet them. v
Our first four basket-ball games have
indeed been in our favor and we are glad
to see the boys hit the "old stride" but
there were several that hated to see us
make the last five points Monday night
in our game with Howard. Up to that
time "32" seemed to be a good omen for
us and although we are not superstitious
it would have at least look unique for
that score to have been 32 to 21 instead of
37 to 21. Any way we won.

Glancing Lniough 1J*e crack into ffile"
mail receptacle in the post-office, the other
day we noticed that there was a great
increase in the volumn of outgoing mail.
Also there was a strong smell of perfume
when the incoming mail was opened. What
can the meaning of this. It looks as though
many of the Auburn rats have been trad­ing
on their reputation during the holidays.
Of course we would* not suspect an upper-classman
of boasting to the fairer sex that
he was from Auburn, but must put the
jlame on the rats.
Nevertheless, if all the feminine hand­writing
that has come into this town within
the last week were placed end on end it
would reach goodness knows where and
nobody knows to what. The Xmas holidays
are a good time to give presents but they
also provide a fertile field for the would
be jelly-bean. We wonder how many
aghs were softly drawn when the young
man gently whispered that he was from
the fairest village of the plains. From the
latest reports of cupid we believe that
those fair words have once again done their
worst.
To take one example. A friend of ours
came back with eight framed pictures,
and they were not landscape pictures
either. There they sit upon his mantle
and so sudden was their acquisition that
the friend in question has to tabulate each
one with a name to keep things straight.
It seems as though such barbarious prac­tices
as these approach almost unto the
edge of the law. Yet will he ask one
of them to the dances. Of course not, he
says, for then he might have to give her
picture back. Well, boys will be boys,
but \fte wish that we had the pictures just
the' same.
We have a class at eight and we wake
about fifteen minutes till the hour. Of
course we turn over for just a wink and
the consequence is that we barely have
time to make the roll call. We have heard
of those kinds and see them every day
but we rarely see anyone that does not
have time to take off his pajamas before
rushing to class. I think we can hand
the cake to Freret because that was his
case Monday morning when he walked in­to
his eight o'clock class with his night
and day uniforrii both on.
We walk in to get a cup of coffee and
when we present ourselves before the cash
register we find it costs us fifteen cents.
How come, we ask, when we hand up our
check for one dollar and only get back
eighty-five cents? Pardon us we forgot
we were back in Auburn where they assess
us ten cents just on general principles.
Who will be the next mighty one to
fall?? Murvin Earnest is the latest victim
that we have any track of. Ever.since
the holidays you can get nothing what
so ever out of Earnest except something
about dreamy eyes, teeth like pearls, and
the usual string of explectives that go with
the general topics when one has the sym­ptoms.
Too bad that these stalwort men
should fall. Two in one week, first Swede
Mathison and then Earnest, are too many.
These Rats still have the upper hand
over some of the upper classmen. For
instance one Rat really made Sonny
Thorpe the other night,—he might not
want it to get put through.

Final exam time is here again, and with
it comes the joy of study guessing. That
is a very- old game that is played between
t . e student and the professor without eith-r'
ride admitting to the other that they
are in the game. To-wit: a crowd of boys
gather around the fire and one of them
lays a book on the table behind him. Then
the bull session begins and all try to guess
what the professor will ask on the exam.
After certain definite points have been
decided upon the book is taken up and
those points 'discussed. Truly tis a great
game and the only one that loses is the
student. But then students are like that
and as Barnum said there is another one
every minute.
L. H. McLendon claims that he had the
only kind of "date", of that kind, on re­cord
during the holidays. It seemed that
he had to go to *a near by town for the
date on Monday night and naturally made
a date for the following Friday night.
In the meantime the girl marries but does
not let Mac know. He arrives Friday
night, finds her husband there and as no
one enlightened him he sat through the
whole time griped because the other fel­low
refused to leave. At last 'he left
fully griped but the next day upon learning
the truth he was indeed thankful that
he was still alive.
Many and varied are the diversifications
of the college students, but we think that
Most things go to the right in the Uni­ted
States but there is one thing that turns
to the left. We are all familiar with
"Paramount Motion Pictures" but did we
ever take any note of the way their trade
mark, which is the world, turns when put
on the serene? One wide awake student
wrote to the exchange wanting to know
why it turned to the left instead of to
the right. Did he ever get the answer?
we have found a new one. Two students
climbed the new two hundred foot radio
towers the other- night at eleven thirty
to see how many towns they could see.
Ye Gods, they will be climbing the tank
to see if there are fish in it pretty soon.

would I say a few kind words about

ine society gave a vote of thanks
to the retiring officers who have
served in such a splendid and co­operative
manner, and judging by the
enthusiasm manifested during the
election the various members are go­ing
to render their fullest coopera­tion
to the new staff of officers.
G. B. Phillips the retiring presi­dent
gave a few words of apprecia­tion
to the society for the coopera­tion
shown. Phillips whose all around
interest in Literary Society has been
a large factor in keeping the ball
rolling this year.
Judging frsm the comment of vis-tors
the society has featured some
very unusual programs this year .ac­counting
for the fact that the Wil­sonian
Literary Society is the biggest
and best.
After the elections were held some
impromptu speeches were rendered
by the members so inclined. F. E.
Burtram recited a very snappy and
interesting piece of poetry which was
received with hearty applause. Miss
Susan Lipscomb delivered a very en­joyable
talk on "War" getting her
topic from the recent Methodist
Convention held at Memphis, Tenn.
The most outstanding statement was
that we shall destroy war and not let
it destroy us. W. C. Hurt also de­livered
a short discussion on the cur­rent
events of the day.

Ellis Stars as Tigers Cop First Cam­pus
Game
Mr. William McKinney and Co.
otherwise known as the Tiger bas­ketball
squad chunked more through
the hoops than did their Tech ad­versaries,
Saturday evening, and
thereby grabbed the most inviting
portion of the final result, the Pap-keities
triumphing to the tune of
32 to 28. Incidently the Bengals
won their third straight game, which
is the exact number that they have
engaged in this season, by making a
total of 32 points. The rats also
stacked up that many against the
small variety of Tornado, making a
unanimous 32 for Auburn.
The game was a typical Auburn-
Tech sport event and had all of the
elements present on such an occa­sion
There was plenty of fight, pep,
and excitement, with both teams on
their toes throughout and work hard.
As the game progressed it appear­ed
quite evident that Mr. "Buck" El­lis,
who was playing his first varsi­ty
game with the Tigers on the local
court, was bent on making the inau­gural
as auspicious as possible.
"Buck" was sidestepping all over the
court and tossing the enlarged pill
around with ease. Bill McKinney,
who has a habit of ringing a majority
of pointers for the Bengals, was in
total eclipse for the entire evening,
the said Mr. Ellis, formerly of Simp­son
High, doing practically all of the
offensive work which is McKinney's
want to handle.
Ellis Leads Scorers
Ellis led the scorers by heaving
half dozen field goals for 12 points.
Most of the activity of the Birm-inghamer,
however, was ocnfined to
the second half. His nearest com­petitor
was Moreland, of Tech who
slung a trio through the loop from
the boards and added one foul point.
MciKnney couldn't get started dur­ing
the first half and the usual high
point man for the iTgers failed to
chunk a single goal or register a
tingle point in this time. However,
the Mobiler got more opportunity to
display his wares in the second half
and sunk two field goals and a foul
shot.
Tech Uses Two Teams
The Techsters continued their ha­bit
of using two different teams dur­ing
the game and a squad which was
supposed to be of second string
variety opened against the Tigers.
By chunking a duo of field goals the
Tornado started out by blowing a
little ahead of the Tigers. In the
first couple of minutes, however ,the
Papke five tied up the proceedings
and then set sail for the front. Only
once were they overhauled and nev­er
were they headed. Ellis, Hall, and
Akin, were responsible for puting
the Tigers out in front in the first
half, while "Red" Barron and Wilder
were those responsible for keeping
the Tornadoists slightly in arrears
all of the time. Barron placed three
in the coveted spot during the first
half which was as long as the pig­skin
star was allowed to roam on the
court. The score at end of the first
stanza was Auburn 16, Tech 12.
The second half started as the
preceeding one had ended with plen­ty
of activity. Tech started a new
line-u which was called the first
string squad, though there appeared
to b- little difference in the calibre
of the two.
The Tiger lead hardly varied over

Prep Cage Tourney
Meets Next Month
Lovers of the cage game in prep
circles are beginning to look forward
to the coming basketball tournament
which is to be held here February
18, 19, and 20. This, the Cotton
State tournament, is the fifth to take
place since Coach Wilber Hutsell
started the annual event in 1922.
Hutsell will be master of ceremonies
for the coming affair.
This prep tourney, which is one of
the bigest of its kind to be held tn
the Southland is always looked for­ward
to with great gusto by the lead­ing
prep organizations in this and
surrounding states, and some mighty
desperate battles are waged when
competition gets underway.
Inquiries have been pouring in to
Hutsell for the past couple of weeks,
and it is expected that aggregations
coming from out 5 or 6 states will
journey to the Plains and enter the
scramble. Athletic authorities are
bending every effort to get the best
quints in this section, but this is not
always possible as many of the lead­ing
fives will be represented in other
tournaments.

laurels of victory into Georgia.
The first winner was Tech High,
of Atlanta, the Techsters copping
thn honors in 1922. The following
year G. M. A. came here with one
of the best teams seen in the Village
in some time and wound up at the
top of the heap.
In 1924 both Simpson High and
G. M. A. had good outfits and easily
brushed aside their opposition until
the finals when Simpson emerged
winner after a desperate struggle.

scintillating performer with the frosh
squad. Both of these boys were
chosen on the all-Cotton States five

half as many and so on. The finals
will be held, as usual, on the night
on the last day. "Season" tickets at
reduced prices will be sold which will
admit the bearer to any or all of the
games. The prices of admission to
witness these games have hot yet
been announced.
At this early date there is little
dope that will enable one to deter­mine
just who the leading squads will
be. However, it is known that Coach
Emerson's Montgomery Bell outfit
of Nashville, will return with the
same bunch that was eliminated in
the finals last year. The Bell boys
ought to do some cutting up with
that same roster and at present they
may be considered as the most likely

One Man's Summer Vacation
H' AVE you ever
seen a man dash
out from a crowd along
a busy street, stop a
runaway team, and save
many from danger?
That wins newspaper
if. c. Gmdwin headlines.
But it is only two horses—and it hap-pcnsonce
in ablue moon. Every hour in in­dustry
horsepower up into the millions is
tamed to man's control. Runaway apparatus
is instantly checked. Electric controllers
protect operators and the public. They
safeguard motor and machine.
Thereby hangs a story of control devel­opment,
involving W. C. Goodwin, Peun
State 1915. Goodwin spent his summer
vacations tinkering with rotating apparatus
—testing motors and the like. He came
to Westinghouse. Control Engineering
was a magnet for Goodwin, even during
his training period. When the separate
Control Engineering Department was
formed in 1917 Goodwin was in it. Next
he was made engineer in charge of the
section to design and develop new con­trol
equipment. Now he has nine
assistants.
The Control Engineer may be called
upon, as Goodwin was, to meet such an
emergency as tliis: The war was on.
Battleships were to be propelled by
electricity. Upon the starting, reversing
or stopping of the main propulsion motors
without the loss of a second, the fate of
the ship might depend. Goodwin designed
control to do that.
Or in industrial application, the Con-
' trol Engineer may add to human safety,
as Goodwin did. In rubber mills, hands
of operators sometimes are caught between
powerful rollers. A fraction of a second
may mean an arm—or a life. Goodwin's
new combination control apparatus has
greatly reduced the time in stopping the
motor.
. Control Engineers must know the in­dustry
with which they are dealing—steel,
rubber, textile; railroad—and then literally
"fit the control to each order. " I n seeing the
job through the customer's eyes—Control

"Spare yourself the trouble, dear Madam.
I shall need your help in finding my

to explain to me a hundred intricacies
of your American life, from the best

European cities do not have the high buildings that are constructed in this

the seed
Se acre-value of the 1925 cotton
crop was $2.38 above that of the
previous year., This was due to much
larger yields. The purchasing pow­er
per acre of cotton in Alabama in
1926 was 109, which was the highest
since 1913 when it was 112. In 1910
it was 109, the same as for last year.
A statement regarding livestock
says: "The upward trend in prices
of cattle and hogs during 1925 has
beep important since together they
constitute. on the average probably
16 per cent of Alabama's cash farm
income. Hogs averaged for 1925
approximately $10 per hundred
weight as compared with $7.50 in
1924 and $7.20 in 1923. Beef cat­tle
averaged $3.50 per hundred
weight as compared with $8.26 in
1924 and $3.33 in 1923. Unfor­tunately,
however, a good many less
cattle and hogs were available for
market during 1926 than during the
years immediately preceding. The
past year has found the price sit­uation
in hogs and cattle the best
since 1920 although beef cattle prices
are still below the general price level
and sufficient recovery has not yet
been made to impress growers for­cibly."
On business conditions as related
to agriculture in Alabama, Mr. Gist
and Mr. Pope say: "Bank debits in
Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery,
and Dothan. were approximately 10
per cent higher in 1926 than in 1924.
The steel and iron industry has been
active in the Birmingham district.
Building construction has exceeded
that of 1924."
For the United States the state-car
loadings, and new building con-ment
reads: 'iBank debits, freight
car loadings, and new building con­struction
and stock market prices
reached during 1925 the highest fig­ures
ever known. The large volume
of building and automobile manufac­ture
and an abundance of money for
credit have been basic factors in the
prosperity of 1925. Such conditions
may not be expected to last indefi­nitely.
The past year has witnessed
a substantial rise in money rates
in financial centers from- the low
levels of 1924."
The summary for foreign coun­tries
is: "The past year brought
substantial improvement in business
conditions in England and Germany.
Cotton imports to both countries
since August 1, 1925, have been
heavier than at any period since the
beginning of the World War. On
the other hand, cotton exports to
France since August 1, 1925, have
been slightly below those in the same
period of 1924.

cial problems and price inflation con­tinues.
"For the first tijr.e - in history,
Japan has moved into third place,
next to Great Britain and Germany,
displacing France, in volume of cot­ton
imported from the United States."
Analyzing production during last
year, Mr. Gist and Mr. Pope say that
hay was very short and that other
feed crops were not sufficient to
meet farm needs. Although the corn
crop was greater than in 1924 it was
still inadequate and a larger acreage
in corn this year is advised. On
recommendations for 1926 one para­graph
reads: "Alabama farmers may
reasonably count on two things for
1926. It is hardly possible that they
can repeat the acre-yield of cotton
which they realized last year, nor
may they expect the price per pound
to be as good as it was at the begin­ning
of the last season. The boll
weevil has already experienced soma
killing weather, but they have a
fashion of coming back when rains
come in the spring and summer. No
farmer can reasonably afford to in­crease
his cotton acreage this com­ing
season, while most of them will
be better off with less acres to cot­ton
and more to hog and hominy.
Some farmers have made good cot­ton
plus food and feed the past year,
but most of them have to write a
minus sign in front of the eatables.
Just now the latter are cheaper than
formerly, but another season may
bring higher prices to the food and
feed grower, while the clothes wear­ers
may have their innings with
cheaper cotton. Safety first would
be a good slogan for the 1926 crop
year."

their lost laurels will be retrieved
Saturday night.
Not much is known as to the
strength of the Howard team, but the
Co-Eds are taking nothing for grant­ed,
and are working with all their
might and main for the coming con­test.
The Plainswomen are not feel­ing
any too good over the recent de­feat,

actually to know the mind of its Mas­ter
and to do whatsoever He com­mands.
We here have sought the
truth and the inspiration by which
right decisions' might be reached and
a program for peace be adopted which
we may ask the Church to undertake
with a vital faith and a conviction
of victory.
War is the most colossal calamity
and scourge of modern life. War
is not inevitable. It is~the supreme
enemy of mankind. Its futility is be­yond
question. Its continuance is
the suicide of civilization. We are
determined to outlaw the whole war
system. Economics and industry,
social welfare and progressive civili­zation,
morality and religion, all de­mand
a new international order in
which righteousness and justice be­tween
nations shall prevail and in
which nation shall fear nation no
longer, and prepare for war no more.
For the attainment of this high ideal
the life of the nations must be con­trolled
by the spirit of mutual good­will
made effective through appropri­ate
agencies. War must be outlawed
and declared a crime by international
agreement. The war spirit and war
feelings must be banished and war
preparations abandoned. Permanent
peace based on equal justice and
fair dealing for all alike, both great
and small, must be achieved. The
Kingdom of God in the relations of
nations must be established.
This. stupedndous, difficult and
urgent task challenges the Churches
of America and all citizens of good­will.
It is a moral and religious as
well as an economic' and political task.
All the forces of civilization must
therefore unite in this noble adven­ture
of faith and purpose.
This Study Conference, represent-ting
some thirty communions, re­joicing
in the many ringing declara­tions
and constructive proposals by
various religious bodies, in their of­ficial
actions, presents to the Church­es
of the United States of America
the following Affirmations and Rec­ommendations.
IDEALS AND ATTITUDES
1. The teachings and spirit of
Jesus clearly show that the effective
force for the safeguarding of human
rights, the harmonizing of differences

spirit of goodwill.
Throughout His- entire ministry,
in all human relationships He was
consistently animated by this prin­ciples
of active and positive goodwill
in the face- of opposition, govern­mental
oppression and personal vio­lence.
He vindicated the life of love
and service in the face of suffering
and trial. His constant emphasis on
forgiveness, the charge to His dis­ciples
to love their enemies and His
prayer on the cross, "Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they
do" express and illustrate His spirit
and method.
2. The Church, the body of Christ
all-inclusive-transcending race and
national divisions—should henceforth
oppose war, as a method of settling
disputes between nations and groups
as contrary to the spirit and princi­ples
of Jesus Christ, and should de­clare
that it will not as a Church

should give itself to constructive po­licies
and measures for world justice
and peace. It should fearlessly de­clare
its distinctive message of good­will.
It should proclaim this message
regardless of fluctuating opinion and
political exigencies.
4. The Church should teach patrio­tic
support of the State, but should
never become the agent of the Gov­ernment
in any activity alien to the
spirit of Christ. The Church shJTuld
look to the responsible statesmen of
a Christian country to conduct the
public business along those lines of
justice and reason which will not
lead to war.
5. The Church should recognize
the right and the duty of each indivi­dual
to follow the guidance of his
own conscience as to whether or not
he shall participate in war.
We draw a clear distinction be­tween
the use of force in police ser­vice,
domestic and international, on
the one hand and in war on the
other. While force involves coer­cion
or physical control in any case,
the motive and end of police force
is furfold: It is inspired by good­will
for the common welfare; it is
corrective and remedial in its na­ture;
it is exercised by neutral par­ties;
it is strictly limited by law and
has justice as its aim.
War, whether aggressive or de­fensive,
is the use of organized vio­lence
in a dispute between nations or
hostile groups. Even though one of
the parties may be guiltless, it creates
hatred, leads to unlimited loss of life
and property, and always involves
large numbers of innocent victims.
In war the parties directly concerned
seek to settle the issue involved by
superior force regardless of justice.
Usually war involves conscription of
the individual conscience and a na­tion-
wide propaganda of falsehood,
suspicion, fear and hate. This is
modern war in its nature and pro­cesses,
as our generation has seen it,
whether the war be fought for of­fensive
or defensive purposes. War
thus the very antithesis of police
force. Attention is called to the fact
that a punitive expedition undertaken
initiative is essentially a war mea-by
one or more nations on their own
sure, and not an exercise of interna­tional
police force.
