FAMOUS AUBURN BAND TAKES
HEW ORLEANS IN FINE STYLE
v
Crescent City Greets
'Touchdown Auburn*
With Applause
Disembarking in New Orleans last
Saturday morning after an all night
ride, The Famous Auburn Band capes
thrown bock, bodies erect, and pieces
shinning in the morning sun, march­ed
on New Orleans with a pep which
won the admiration and respect of
the most casual spectator.
Bide's boys after separating met
in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel
from which they marched to the Lee
.'Circle. At the Lee Circle three bands
assembled. The New4 Orleans Police
Band, followed by the Auburn Band
and The Band of Tulane University,
made a circle of about two miles
down Canal street and back to the
monument, playing in unison. Crowds
along the way kept up a continuous
cheering as the bands passed. Upon
return to Lee Circle the bands dis­banded.
At 1:40 p. m. The Auburn band
participated^in the dedication" of Tu-.
lane's new Stadium. The three bands
of the morning marched up and down
-the field playing, "The Star Spang­led
Banner," before about 15,000 on­lookers.
Between halves of the game
The Auburn Band marched on the
field and before the cheering section
of Tulane playing The Loyalty Song,
of Tulane. They then played, "Touch­down
Auburn," and marched off the
field playing "Alma Mater." Tu-lane's
band then came on the field,
but not in front of the Auburn cheer­ing
section, and rendered a selection.
Throughout the performance of The
Auburn Band there was continuous
cheering from both sides of the field.

In a meeting of the Lic.ia Club of
Auburn Tuesday a proposal was
adopted to look into the fire situation
and to try to secure a better fire
fighting equipment than that Au­burn
now has.
Vice-President of the Club, J. O.
Parrish opened the meeting with an
introduction of the guests. Among
the visitors of the week were Rev.
S. B. Haye of Auburn, and Presi­dent
Hodges of The Hodges Grain
Co., of Birmingham.
Dean Judd gave an interesting
talk on the problems of the course in
Secondary Education. In his talk
it was shown that the course at Au­burn
is becoming more of a technical
one than it has ever been.
Mrs. Leslie Wright and Miss Mart-lyne
Cauthen entertained the club
with a number of very attractive mu­sical
selections.

Ten Seniors have been elected as
pledges to the Taw Beta Pi honorary
fraternity. Nine of the men that
are pledged come from Alabama.
These men were pledged primarily
because of their high grade of schol­arship-
However, personality and
and participation in student activi­ties
functioned largely in their being
selected. The purpose of the Tan
Pi is, "To mark in a fitting manner
those who have conferred honor uptri
their Alam Mater by a.high grade
jf scholarship as undergraduates, o>-
by thisr attainments as alumni; and
to foster a spirit of liberal culture ir;
the engineering schools of America."
It may be interesting to note here
that Erskine Ramsey was taken in
as an honorary member to this "fra­ternity
last year.

UNIQUE PARADE
IS ENJOYED BY
LOCAL CITIZENS
Scantily Clad Initiates Guard
Main Entrance to College
Grounds
Villagers of the Plains, officially
known as Auburn, the. seat of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, were
startled beyond measure at the ap­pearance
Saturday of a group of
men in khaki or better in half khaki.
It was a strange looking group in­deed
each man wore the regulation
cap and coat and each one was lav­ishly
decorated with serivce stripes
and military metals. That was all,
caps and coats, except shoes. A
part of the uniform was missing for
the boys were in bathing suits and
minus trousers.
Headed by "General" Seyburn H.
Lynne of Decatur, who rode a mon­ster
white horse the squad went up
and down the main streets of Au­burn.
A pup tent on the campus
-was head-quarters.
It was revealed later in the af­ternoon
that this was the annual in­itiation
into Scabbard and Blade, na­tional
honorary society of the Re­serve
Officers Training Corps, J. C.
Mathison is the captain this year.
The following students were in­itiated:
J. E. Barnes; D. P. Grant;
F. G. Hendrick; W. G. Pruitt; J. N.
Nelms; J. J. Odum; J. R. Gilette; L.
A. McGraw; J. C. Street; G. C. El­lis;
J. C. Lovelace; R. Wiliams; L.
F. Driver; J. D. Stewart; T. Adams;
J. T. Russell and S. H. Lynne.
A. H. Tucker, proprieter of the
Auburn Printing Company, enter­tained
the members of the class in
Journalism with a lecture on the ope­ration
of the modern linotype ma­chine
on Tuesday morning at the re­gular
class hour. Professor Hugh
G. Grant, head of the publicity de­partment,
is conducting this course
in which about twenty students are
enrolled.
Explaining the intricate details of
this wonderful machine, the popular
printer gave several demonstrations
of its actual operation. Several lines
were run off and the various kinds
of type used in the make up of a
newspaper were shown to the stu­dents.
Coming, as it did, after several
lessons had been devoted to a study
of the place of .this machine in thi
composition of the large daily papers
df the country, the practical appli­cation
of this knowledge was really
appreciated by the group.
Professor Grant expressed himself
as highly pleased with the results
of Mr. Tuckerr's talk and declared
himself to be very grateful for the
courtesy extended himself and his
pupils.
The Journalism class is planning
to make several trips to our largest
southern papers in order to get an
idea of the work and effort which
is put into the nswspapers of today.

OPEN IN0PELIK A
The Electric Light, an Electri­cal
and Radio Store, Marks
First Expansion
On Monday, November first, the
Student Shops Inc., plan to open
their first branch store outside of
Auburn. This store is to be in J. T.
Fredericks furniture store in Ope-lika.
It is essentially an electrical
and Radio store, going under the
name of The Electric Light. All
manner of electrical contracting and
repair work will be handled as well
as the Raido business.
It has been a well known fact that
the Student Shops Inc., planned to
expand to other towns as soon as
they became established, and we are
glad to note that our sister city is
the scene of the first expansion. For
a long time Opelika has been expand­ing
to Auburn, while this move is
one of the few that are going the
other way. It is hoped that the
Shops will make a success in their
new field. .
NOTICE!
Edison and Effect on Mankind
is Topic of Dr. Petrie's Lecture
Discussion of the question: "How
Great is Edison" was the subject of
the weekly lectm-e by Dr. George Pet-rie,
dean of graduate studies, Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. Dr. Pet-rie
discussed Edison's famous inven­tions,
the effect of the inventions on
us, as well as the greatness of Edison
from the standpoint of his contribu­tion
in making life happier lor man­kind.
Dr. Petrie's lecture follows:
"Raido fans noticed a curious thing
last Thursday night. Many of the
big stations gave an hour to broad­casting
talks about an invention that
was made 47 years ago. This was
not an advertising scheme. There
was no politics in it. It was purely
a tribute to Mr. Edison, who 47 years
ago invented the incandescent light.
"This well deserved recognition, be­lated
though it was, struck a sym­pathetic
chord in the American heart.
Mr. Edison is one of our popular he­roes.
We take pride in him as the
world's greatest inventor, just as we
Within the next few days the Lee
County Health Department aided by
three doctors from the International
Health Board will begin a Sanitary
survey of Auburn.
It will be necessary to m-'-e a
house to house canvasof the town in
order to gain the required informa­tion,
and it is hoped that all will
cooperate with the workers in order
that this piece of work may be as
near complete as possible. This un­dertaking,
which will furnish a great
deal of systematic and valuable in­formation
from a health standpoint
has been approved by Dr. C. S. Yar-brough,
Mayor of Auburn.

Somewhat encouraged by the drub­bing
they administered the Tulane
Greenies and fired on by the loyal
support of' the local student body,
the Auburn Tigers, thirty strong, ac­companied
by the general mentor of
the plains, "King" David Morey, en-tained
last night for their second in­vasion
of the capitol city. With the
squad were also Bunk Vaughan, man­ager
of the team, "Goat" Smith and
Selwyn Turner, faithful trainer.
Coach Papke will be on hand to as­sist
in the duties of directing the
team. The Plainsmen go to renew
hostilities with the Sewanee Tigers
after a period of fifteen years dur­ing
which time the two teams have
not met on the gridiron. The scene
of the big battle is to be laid in
Cramton Bowl.
Sewanee is much to be feared by
the Orange and Blue eleven since the
Purple Tigers descended from their
mountain lair list Saturday and
threw a genuine scare into the vic­torious
Crimson Tide. The normal
victory which they secured by virtue
of their valliant fight has set them
on edge for the contest and specta
tors can be assured of a titanic strug­gle.
The mountaineers have one of the
best combinations to face the locals
that they have turned out since those
days when the Auburn-Sewanee
game was the classic of southern
gridiron encounters. The Moreymen
are not underesting the strength of
the Tennesseeans and the local ball
toters are expecting much fur to fry
when Tiger meets Tiger. No doubt,
the two bengal beasts will catch up
on their clawing and gnashing of
teeth before the closing whistle of
the frag.
For the second time this season
the Auburn evelen meets a "Mike
coached" team. This team it is Mike
Bennett who is bringing his charges
to Montgomery for a crack at the
Plainsmen. Bennett's boys are
alarmingly proficient at straight
football and fans will be treated to
a rare exhibition of the old line play
unless the Purple Tiger changes his
jrait. The opponents have resorted
to the ariel route on several occasions
with alarming success this season
and it may be over this route they
expect to gain most of their ground

HOW ABOUT AN UP-TO-DATE GOLF
COURSE?
In a bulletin issued by the local chamber
of commerce one of Auburn's most attrac­tive
features was a nine hole golf course.
It is well that those to whom these circu­lars
found their way did not choose to in­vestigate
all of our advertised attractions,
for the would necessarily have been dis­appointed.
Instead of a beautiful course
with smooth.velvety green fairways, well
constructed tees, and neatly kept greens
they would have been forced to play in a
cow pasture. . We will give this course
credit for two excellent characteristics,
however. It has a very expansive rough
and its hazards are most plentiful. One
does not have to play 18 or 36 holes to
loose his bails. It is very easily and ef­fectively
accomplished in 9 holes.
There is no reason why Auburn could
not suport a modern golf course over which
it would be a pleasure to play and which
would be a valuable addition to the possi­bilities
to the town in the future. It is now
leased out to one man, but no single per­son
is capable of attending to such an en­terprise,
especially when his hands are tied
with college duties. He has done the best
he could with the time and funds available.
What is needed, as we see it, is an organi­zation
or a golf club with a membership
composed of both students and members
of the faculty and a sufficient sum in the
treasury to warrant its upkeep.
We should suggest that a committee meet
by mutual consent to formulate plans for
the formulation of such a club and take
definite steps toward immediate improve­ment.
On this committee we should place
the most inthusiastic golfers in their re­spective
lines of endeavor. Dr. Petrie could
ably represent the faculty in these dis­cussion
while Homer Wright could protect
the interests of the citizens of Auburn. As
the military department boasts of more en­thusiasts
along this line we believe they
should have a voice in the~Ttew organiza­tion
and think that Captain Althaus would
be the logical man on the committee from
this department. Naturally the students
must have their say so in the new move
and we put up the name of Ben Sankey as
their mouthpiece. We urge that this com­mittee,
or one similar in composition, meet
at once and discuss the proposition and
decide what course to pursue.
The location of the present course will
not present any insurmountable obstacles
as it is possible to eliminate the trouble­some
seventh and nineth holes. With a
little expert planning and a little more hard
work it can be transformed into a course
worthy of the institution.
Several things must be done however to
put it into first class condition. • The tees
must be reconstructed so that one will have
a plenty of room to obtain a snvooth swing.
The grass on the fairway must be mowed
and kept cut closely. New tee boxes with
compartments for water and sand must be
built and kept looking nicely. The fences
must be repaired to keep the stock from
trampling en the greens and from roaming
over the course. New fence posts must be
put up and painted in order to aid the ap­pearance
of the links.
Thq increased number of players would
amply justify all these repairs and more.
THAT TORCH LIGHT PARADE
Last Thursday night when the Auburn
Tigers entrained for New Orleans they were
escorted to the station by fifteen hundred
students who marched down the streets
of the villiage by the glare of blazing
torches. Never in the glorious history of
the great Auburn Spirit has such a splen­did
manifestation been given it. It was a
sight that is given few to behold in this
life and one which might well have inspired
a great spic. Wanton abandonment joined
hands with pensive melancholy to celebrate
the departure of her sons to uphold Au­burn's
fair reputation on foreign fields.
When the train rolled out of the station
bearing its burden of human freight, a
great cheer of confidence and a silent pray­er
of success ascended to the skies. Tears
stood in the eyes of several seniors who
realized ihat the flight of time would all
too soon close this happy chapter in their
life, while the light of anticipation shone in
the eyes of the loyal herd of freshmen.
Like a great fircy serpent, the parade
wound its way through the streets of the
village, stretching out for hundreds of
yards. The Auburn student body -had
found itself for the first time this year
and they were anxious to proclaim to the
world that the old spirit had not died, but
was merely lacking a crisis to call it forth.
The old war eagle has not weakened but
soars now, king of the air, as it did in the
days when an Auburn defeat was unheard
of. The tiger still reigns supreme.
We must duplicate last week's perform­ance
each of the remaining games on the
schedule. We can't loose when inspired by
the confidence of ever individual on the
campus. We are not out of the running
this season and the wearers of the Orange
and Blue may yet fasten the dear old colors
on the pinacle of Southern Conference foot­ball
before finis is written to the present
season.
AG HILL
The Agricultural department of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute has many
things of interest to the students of the
college. It would take too long a space to
list all the activities carried on by the de­partment
but a few of the outstanding
ones might be described.
Upon reaching Comer hall the first thing
to attract the attention is the beautiful
campus. This is kept in an attractive or­der
by a constant effort on the part ofthe
faculty and students. The Ag Club coope­rating
with the faculty has added a great
deal to the beauty of the campus during the
last few years. They have changed the
parking place for cars to the west end of
Comer hall; built a dirt walk from the
street to the hall; set shrubbery around
the building; and beautified the lawn.
In this connection it would not be doing
the officials in charge of the campus
around the main building right if the fact
was not menioned that great improvements
have been made on the tnain campus dur­ing
the last few months. The panel fence
along the street in front of "Main" has
been replaced by wire on green posts which
are about 18 inches high. The lawn is
being beautified as much as possible un­der
the approach of fall and winter months.
"The second thing to come to the atten­tion
of an observer of Ag. hill would be
Comer hall with all of its attractiveness.
On first floor would be found several of­fices,
lecture rooms and the Ag, library.
Second floor would reveal the botany a.d
zoology departments.
The botany department is located in the
west end and the zoology and entomology
department goes to the museum which con­tains
many things of .interest.
On third floor is found the Extension
service. The studio of the radio station
WAPI is located here as well as the bulle­tin
room. From the studio goes wires to
the towers of the station which is one-Half
mile from the studio. The station is a suc­cess.
From Comer Hall an observer would pass
to the Agricultural Engineering building
which contains all kind of farm machinery.
This machinery is being explained and
demonstrated to the students of agriculture.
All kind of experimental work is in pro­gress
on Ag. hill. This work includes ex­periments
with rats, potatoes,»rattlesnakes,
bees, cabbage, corn, cotton, watermelons,
boll weevil, fruit growing and various oth­er
things too numberous to be listed here.
The Ag Club stages the only fair to be
found in Auburn. The fair this year has
just passed and everyone who attended re­ported
a pleasant time.
Last, but not least, comes the faculty.
Those men, and women too, believe in co­operating
with the students in doing their
work. If you meet a man on Ag. hill who
does not readily speak, he is not a mem­ber
of the Ag. faculty. The professors are
loved by the students just because they
show their appreciation of having the stu­dents
at Auburn.
The students have a wonderful time pull­ing
jokes but. they will not let each other
wear sport knickers when attending classes.
WHO IS THE THIEF?
No sooner had the Y. M. C. A. provided
records for its new victrola and the enter­tainment
of hundreds of students than
they began to melt away like the dew on
a hot summer day. Several were injured
in the rush for the most popular numbers
which were soon but pleasant memories.
We can hardly fail to admire the daring
exploits of these bold thiefs in robing the
victrola, but at the same time, we feel that
is our duty to condem such nefarious prac­tices.
If the budget were larger the Y. M. C.
A. would gladly furnish each student, free
of charge, one record, to be played on a vic­trola.
As this would be impossible, they
have provided a means by ^which all stu­dents
may hear the latest musical comedy
numbers at their convenience. They have
purchased an instrument together-with a
large supply of records which is accessible
at all hours of the day and most of the
night.
It seems as though some students are al­ways
willing to indulge their selfish desires
at the expense of the majority. Under no
circumstances would this attitude be com­mendable
and certainly not when a large
number suffer because of his cupidity.
This is not a matter of life and death nor
is the welfare of Auburn jeopardized by
these trivial thefts, but the fact that a
member of the Y. M. C. A. purloined these
records is an insult to the organization and
the college which it represents.
While we are writing in terms musical
instruments we should like to suggest a
plan by which the number of records could
be augmented without entailing an aded
expense to the association. Many fraterni­ties
on the campus are so anxious to get
the latest hits that constant duplication in
these purchases. Individual take it upon
thehiselves to procure them without con­sulting
their brothers. What we would
propose is the gift of these extras to the
local Y. M. C. A. to be placed in the reading

an action would be highly meritous and the
burden would be hard on no one.
With Other Colleges
It seems that there is still a lot of in­clination
on the part of some people to
change the regulations oY~football.
One college in Iowa has recently left the
the Thanksgiving game of her schedule,
because she does not think it proper that
it be played on that date.: Then, too, the
Ohio College Association has recommend ; \
that Seniors be barred from participation
in athletics. They argue that this would
lead to the better development of intranv-ral
sports. It seems that their recommen­dation
has met with a decided defeat in the
eye of the public.
It is to be noted with pleasure that the
world renowed critic o fthe South, Mr. H.
L. Mencken, editor of the American Mer­cury
Magazine has been visiting some, of'
our Southern institutions of learning. He
was very much impressed with the Uu •
versity of North Carolina. We dare say
that if.he would visit more of our institu­tions,
he would learn that the South is not
the bad place he thought it wa3, by a.iv
means.
Tulane .reports an enrollment of over
5,000 students this fall. This is the largest
enrollment of any southern college east of
the University of Texas. Some of these
students, that is some of the Sophie-New-comb
girls were ducked in the lake for
"jay-walking" last week.- A new way to
treat new co-eds.
Oxford University, England, is planning
a trip through the South this winter. They
are going to debate several of the leading
college debating teams, on the leading is­sues
of the times. They are to visit the
University of N. C, Mercer, Furman, and
others. This should serve to advertise the
Southern institutions more.
The Clemsori students went to the S. C.
State fair on a special train las? week, and
encamped on the fair grounds for two
days. This is a rather unique thing to do,
.and. we see no reason why other R. O. T. C.
units shouldn't do the same thing at' least
'one time each year.
Social life at Ottawa University, Kansas,
moves along without the aid of Greek Let­ter
fraternities. The substitute is "Social

into groups according to the existing con­geniality,
and friendship.
The University of Cincinnati has
brought up a $985,000 bond issue to be
voted on soon. This money is to be used by
the university for expansion etc.
We received papers from the high schools
at Brewton, Ala., and Florence, Ala. Both
of these papers were well printed, edited,

It is a generally known fact that fire-chief
Simms attended the Fire-Chiefs Con­vention
at New Orleans, and took in the
game on the side. He tells us many wierd
stories about what happened in the Cres­cent
City, but the most noticeable is his
inquiries as to the meaning of several
french words.
We also understand that "Brother" John
Garret went to the game too. We have
heard various stories about his betting on
the game, but he is non-committal.
We wonder what's become of the old

The biggest upset of the week /was that
fact that "Skick" Kaley and Jimmie Davis

Dearest Bib: :.
No doubt you are wondering—who you
are hearing from and why you are hearing
from me. Well I'm a girl. I am a bru­nette,
eighteen years of age, five feet two,
eyes of blue, and weight one hunderd and
ten pounds. My hair is curely and hangs
in ringlets 'round my face. This descript­ion
isn't near like me, for I'm real beauti­ful.
Now as to why you are hearing from
me, I will try to explain. There is a girl
down here that has met you and fallen
desparately in love with you. She is al­ways
raving about your looks, and your
ways. She says you are the most hand­some
man she has ever seen,—and affec
tionate?—Oh, she says you are so loving
that you make the other boys feel like a
dime with a hole in it.
The only objection she has to you is sim­ply
this: she says you won't love any wo
man until you meet the one God made for
you. Well, I claim the honor of being the
one God made for you. I have heard thi:
g'.rl rave so much about you that I can
ardiy study for thinking of you. I kno-v.
now that I could love, honor and obey you
forever. If I only knew that you could
care for me evsn half as much as I do foi
you,—"Then I'd be happy." I'm going tc
write one of my special boy-friends that
I would only be deceiving him if I went on
telling him I love him, while my thoughts
arc ever of you. God above only knows
how much I do adore you. If I can't have
you (and please don't say I can't, "cause
it would kill me) I'll be an old maid for
ever. You know how bad youswould hat.
for me to be an old maid when you know
that there is such a beautiful creature a"s
I in the world, and also when you will be
convinced that I'm head over heels in love
with you. Everytime I think of the song
"Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love
with you," it drives me into wild fits
Words can't express just exactly how 1
do feel toward you. I hope you can read
between the lines how much I really do care
for you.
If you don't want me to fail in all my
studies you had better return only a small
part of-my affection. As long as I can't
see you please let me know that you love
me like I do you. Darling, please write
me a letter. Only four words would give
me a thrill that would last a life time.
Those four words would be, "I love you,—
Bob." Please don't disappoint me by not
answering. The shock would be too great.

DEFINITION OF A KISS
A kiss is a pronoun, because it always
stands for something. It is masculine and
feminine gender, therefore it is common.
It is a conjunction because it connects. It
is a verb because it signfies an act. It is
plural in number because it calls for an­other.
It is usually in apposition with a
hug^or at least it is sure to follow. A kiss
may be conjugated, but never declined.—

to the-sponsors without Holmes being in­formed
of the fact. Sometime during the
wee hours of the morning George came

BOOK REVIEW CONDUCTED BY
MEMBERS OF FACULTY 'I
Edited by John B. Clark, A. M., P. H. D.
Professor of Economics
The Editor of The Plainsman has graci­ously
"donated" a column of his space each
week to a Book Review Section. In assum­ing
responsibility for the collection of this
material,. it must be understood that it is
to be a cooperative faculty enterprise. It
is believed that no little good can be ren­dered
both to students and faculty by the
presentation of a sane, pointed opinion on
some of the most recent books in the sever­al
fields of endeavor.
It is hoped that all faculty members may
be induced to cooperate in this novel un­dertaking.
Indeed, it is also an opportuni­ty
for students to contribute forthwhile
material in the form of book reviews. These
might come through the heads of the re­spective
departments. No article should
contain more than three hundred words.
It is no part of my purpose to accept
personal responsibility for the particular
views presented by any other member of
the faculty. Nor it is expected that the
Plainsman Staff should shoulder any res­ponsibility
of the individual faculty mem­bers.

FIRST ECONOMICS
By J. E. Le Rossingnol
A. W. Shaw Company, 1926
This is a simple name for a text in econ­omics,
but the content of the book lives up
to the laconie title. Dean LeRossignol,
In the sixty brief chapters averaging about
;wo and a half pages in length, gives a
bird's-eye view of the principal economic
•juestions.
Not only are the chapters very short—
'.ndeed, at times almost too short for the
usual introduction to a discussion of the
topic under consideration—but the sent-ances
are also short, clear and to the point.
On first observation one is likely to say
"Just another book on economics; there's
no necessity for such a book." But after
a close reading followed by considerable re­flection,
the reader will change his mind
and realize the compactness, lucidity and
necessity for a text of this kind. It is
truly a first economics but the topics are
presented with such ease and yet so com­prehensively
that the reader will profit
far more than from reading many of the
larger texts.
In the five dozen chapters, no economics
question of vital concern to the beginner
is omitted. The book should prove popular
not only with the lay reader who is often
mystified by economic discussions, but it
should be an excellent prime, a delightful
appetizer and first course in the menu of
any economics class. More books possess­ing
the facts and clarity of this text would
greatly popularize what is too often and
arronerously regarded as a "dust-dry sub­ject.

MARKETING METHODS AND POLICIES
By Paul D. Converse, Ph.D. •
A Prentice-Hall Publication
Are you interested in "reducing market­ing
costs?" So are we all, for their is
-carcely a man, woman or child who is
neither a producer nor a consumer of raw
materials and manufactured products. Dr.
Paul D. Converse has written "Marketing
Methods and Policies" to set forth the ser­ious
and difficult problems we must face
in the marketing of our commodities. But
more than this,—he gives us many valuable
and practical suggestions for the solutions
of these problems.
This book splendidly surveys the entire
field of marketing, and, in so doing, un­earths
much to help us answer those ques­tions
on all our lips, "How can we get the
best prices for the things we sell?" and
"How can we buy more cheaply the things
we consume?"
Did you know that in 1818 there were
17,700,000 persons, or 47.3% of all the
people in-the United States, whose annual
in comes were between only $1000 and
$2000? Did you know that "approximate­ly
$90,000,000,000 of comerce passed
through our rail and marine terminals dur­ing
1919 and that about one third of the
cost of this commerce, or $25,000,000,000,
was due to inefficiency and preventable
wastes in handling between producers and
consumers?" It is plain to see why we all
want to reduce marketing costs.
Those who wish useful knowledge of the
problems of the retailers, the chain store,
cooperative marketing, trade associations,
methods of distribution, price policies and
market activity will find this book both
readable and helpful. It is a pleasure to
recommend it to the business man, the
farmers, the house-wife, and the progres­sive
who desire to cooperate in the solution
of our marketing problems.

BAPTIST MEET
IS BEING HELD
A south-wide Baptist student con­ference
is to be held in Birmingham
October 28-31. Representatives from
over two hundred and fifty colleges
of the south will be represented -at
this conference. Auburn has quota
of fifty delegates and it is hoped
that more than fifty will volunteer
to go as there are a number of prom­inent
speakers on the program.
This student conference at Bir­mingham
offers an opportunity of
a lifetime to the present student gen­eration.
There are not only some of
the most outstanding speakers and
preachers of the country but a chance
to meet students from other campuses
of the South. This conference is the
first of its kind in the South as sev­eral
state conferences have been held.
There will be a number of stu­dents
from all over the South to take
part on this programT Since Auburn
is about the third closest college to
this conference there is no reason
why she can't send at least fifty del­egates.
Don't miss an opportunity
of a student generation by missing
this conference One of the largest
crowds in the history of colleges and
conferences is expected to attend this
conference. A crowd of something
over fifteen hundred will be assembl­ed

This girl was only sweet fifteen,
With dancing eyes of grey;
But she made my heart drop ten de­grees
On the hottest night in May.
She was dealing the round with speed
-and grace, -i
Those eyes like shooting darts,
When I cried, "fair woman just take
them all
But give me - the queen of
Hearts."
"That Queen of Hearts like a Valen­tine
Would answer my burning soul
It is dearer to me, by far you see
Than treasure of silver and gold.
One grey eye closed, as she winked
at me
And I cried, "Oh lady forbear.
You can kill me first but pull me not
In the clutch of a woman's snare.
Then she slyly pulled out that Queen
of Hearts
And put it on top of the pile;
She dealt around 'til she came to me,
And gave me again that smile.
I could have swam that the lovely
card
Which meant so much to me
Was coming to rest -in my eager

And I scooped it up to me.
But alas for all of my self-conceit
And castles of thinnest air.
Instead of the fairest Queen of

The Deuce of Spades was there.

So far as love can be .

Is deadly poison to me.

THIRD CONTEST
STARTS_N0V. 1
With applications already on hand
for 93 out of a total of 100 pens the
national egg laying contest at Au­burn
is assured. In a statement to
day, Prof. John E. Ivey, head of the
poultry department, said that the
third contest will begin November
1, and that it will continue one year.
The birds will arrive Auburn Oc­tober
28-29, and will be assigned to
houses before November 1, when the
contest will begin. For most of these
birds it will be a new experience in
that they will be housed in concrete
and hollow-tile houses, with running
water and electric lights which will
be turned on'each night beginning
soon after the contest starts in order
to increase egg production.
The applications on hand come
from a dozen states and from a
large number of counties of Ala­bama.
About the regular number
of breeds are represented, the white
leghorn being decidedly in the lead.
Nearly all of the birds in the sec­ond
contest will leave Auburn Oc­tober
25. Onljr the pens containing
one or more individuals with pros­pects
of making a record of at least
290 eggs for the year will be kept
until October 31. This means that
five or six pens will stay at Auburn
the full twelve months.

EXTENSION WILL
SUPPORT PLAN
OF FARM RELIEF
The movement now in progress in
Alabama and the South, for the re­lief
of cotton growers through co­operative
marketing and acreage re­duction
ne*t year will have the hearty
support of the county agents and
other agricultural extension workers.
In a general letter which went into
the mails today, Prof. L. N. Duncan,
director, called their attention to the
movement and asked their coopera­tion
immediately, realizing that ac­tion
at once is necessary.
The work of the county agents and
extension service specialists will be
done in cooperation with farmers,
bankers and business men who have
perfected a state-wide organization to
carry the movement to every cotton
grower during the week beginning
October 25. Prof. Duncan is a mem­ber
of the state committee and the
oounty agents wi!l serve on the coun­ties.
The district demonstration
agents and specialists will help in or-ganizating
the work by districts and
also in planning and conducting coun­ty
campaigns.
Pro/. Duncan pointed "out in his
letter that this movement is now
South-wide and that each state is
working on a plan very similar ~""~to
that in practice in Alabama. He said
that there are two objects in view—
one to get farmers to deliver at once
a maximum amount of their cotton
to cooperative marketing association;
and the other is to get pledges by
cotton growers that they will re­duce
their cotton acreage next year
by 25 per cent. Bankers' and credit
merchants will be pledged to encour­age
and support both the cooperative
marketing plan and acreage reduc­tion.
Referring to the part which bank­ers
and merchants are playing in this
movement, Prof. Duncan expressed
himself as being highly gratified. "It
has been," said he, "a major wish of
mine to see bankers and business men
cooperate with farmers for the bet­terment
of agriculture and rural
life and now we see that this is be­ing
done. The banker is the key-man
to the situation. He controls
the finances and in this way he de­termines

THE TIGER SPIRIT
Just watch that Tiger team trot
across the field;
It's a team from Auburn that before
an enemy has never kneeled.
In time of long ago and- in times yet
to be
The Tiger team has won and will
win many a game
Which rightly speaks of fame.
The Tiger team has gone down in
defeat,
But has come up declaring victory
to repeat.
It's that Auburn Spirit that makes
the throug pause in its glee
To pay sweet homage to those who
work to make old Auburn free.
As that team lines up for the fray,
the sparkle of admiration in in
the old grads' eyes;
It's that unstinted loyalty that makes
them Auburn's noble prize.
Musingly and mentally they hear that
Tiger roar;
They see that Tiger plunge;
They see that Tiger mount a swelling
score
By his ever mighty lunge.
They see the team take a stand
That makes them known throughout
the land.
Then they think of the time when
they for old Auburn were on the
field to do • • „
And let the Tiger be known every­where
By his angdy roar from his Dixie
for many of them actual losses."
Prof. Duncan has assured Edward
A. O'Neal, chairman of the Alabama
committee in charge of this work,
that he and all members of his staff
will do all they can for the success
of the intensive drive during the
week of October 25 and also in get­ting
pledges on November 1, which
will be "pledge day."
It is understood here"" that the
schools, churches, luncheon clubs,
newspapers and all other groups will
take part in carrying this movement
to every person concerned and espe­cially
to cotton growers and bank­ers-lair.
Then they think, again of the ensu­ing
years through which to old
Auburn they have been true.
Until now they see new men and new
faces at the front;
They see new hands grasp the helm.
They rnuse thus until the whistle
blows and then the punt
Brings them from that distant realm.
The Tiger roars; the Tiger leaps,
And then from the dust the teams
emerge from human heaps.
Again one team and then the other
tries to pass, the end, and last
the line.
This youthful struggle makes a thrill
creep up the old grads spines.
As the game goes on, they go wild.
It's hard to refrain from acting a
child.
Why not act as one. Isn't Auburn
their Auburn coming through in
the pinch?
Isn't their Tiger team in there fight-in,
grudgingly conceding a sin­gle
inch?
Now the game comes to a close;
Every man is alert, every man is on
his toes,
For the scores are not so far apart
That they cannot be changed by one
mighty dart.
Then again they know that should"
their Auburn lose, ;.. .
Never another team would they call -
their own to choose. . ,.- .;,- -
For Auburn had proved to them since,
dawn
That she still posessed. that Auburn
SPIRIT
That makes the old men cherish and
makes the young men carry Au­burn
on.

TIGERS TRIUMPH OVER GREEN
WAVE BY SCORE OF 2 TO 0
Auburn's Tiger showed real fight
last Saturday in the encounter with
the Tulane eleven. Not only did they
show fight but they proved to the
sporting world that they knew how
to jttay the popular college sport of
football. It was truly a big day for
Morey's crew of "pigskin toters" as
they were picked by practically every
sport critic in the south to be on the
small end of the score. The Green
Wave was all keyed up to surge over
the Tiger especially as it was the day
of dedication of their new athletic
stadium.
The referee signaled for the game
to start promptly at two-thirty o'clock
and the Tiger showed that it had
blood in its eyes from the start of the
game. Auburn received the initial
kick off and it was, no other than
our stalwart Captain Paul Turner
« who caught the ball and returned it
twenty-five yards. He ran behind
beautiful interference; Auburn dis­played
a perfect system of blocking
on this play. The Tulane line ap­peared
over anxious on the early
plays and five of the first seven
plays had to be called back for off­sides;
frequently it was both sides
disobeying the rule however. Tux-worth
was forced to kick after three
tries at the Waves line and it was a
beautiful punt going out of bounds
on Tulane ten yard line. The first
half was given up largely to kicking.
Moulton soon went in for Tuxworth
and gave a brilliant exhibition of
punting. Tulane missed three
mighty good chances to score but the
Auburn line seemed capable of hold­ing
at the opportune time and the
Greenies let each opportunity slip
much to the dismay of all Tulane
:-*sooters for they realized that the
way the Tiger was fighting the wave
did not have any time to let oppor­tunity
silp. Tulane's first chance
came as a result of a completed pass
followed by a fifteen yard penalty
against Auburn. Morey's line stiffen­ed
at this point of the game and held
the surge of the Green Wave, the ball
going over on the Tigers, fifteen yard
line. Moulton immediately kicked
the oval out of the danger territory.
Tulane lost her best chance to score
when Day dropped a pass on Au­burn's
ten yard line. This play cer­tainly
threw a scare in the heart of
every Auburn man as nothing could
have prevented this ' Greenie from
making a touchdown had he held the
ball.
The Auburn Bengals made their
score in the trird quarter on a hoick­ed
kick.' The Tigers started a drive
that carried the ball well into the
enemy's territory only to have one
-v of their passes intercepted by a Tu­lane
back; he was nailed in his track
however and the spectator saw the
Grewt wave preparing to kick from
the shadow of its own goat post. The
stands were tense as Tulane started
calling signals. Auburns band was
softly playing "Block That Kick."
The second the ball was passed from
center it seemed that the whole Au­burn
line broke through with the
sole intent of blocking the ball.
Pearce, playing guard for the Tiger
met, the ball squarely and gave it a
complete reversal of direction. This
same Tiger pounced on the pigskin
like a real Tiger pouncing on its
prey making a safety and two points
for the Bengals. This small margin
proving large enough to put Auburn
on the big end of the score of this
hectic encounter.

the Sew a nee gridders have one of the
greatest backfield men in the South­ern
Conference, while the line aver­ages
over 200 lbs. In fact they pos­sess
all the qualities which goes for
the making of a strong outfit, speed,
brains and brawn. The line, a veri
table stone wall on the defense and
an avalanche on the offense, is ex­pected
to be a thorn in Auburn's side
throughout the conflict. Those whose
fancy turn to the overhead game will
be treated to a rare exhibition of
skill when Tuworth, Moultor nnd
Fisher send long spirals down the
field.
Snider and Fisher
In Snider Auburn possesses the
faste.t back in the Southern Con­ference,
capable of running the ends
and of l-tackle with disastrous res J It?
to his opponent's morale. This track
star has been one of the big guns in
the local's offense in every game this
season while his defensive work has
been of the highest calibre. His re­cent
performances stamp him as one
of the greatest of Auburn's brilliant
backs which' include such names as
Ed Bugitfey, "Rabbit" Harris, Kirk
Newell, Ed Shirling, John Shirey and
-cores of others who have enriched
southern gridiron history.
Mike Fisher, running mate to Sni­der,
is another fleet footed back who
is a constant thread to the enemy.
The La Grange lad is an accurate
passer, a hard hitting and hard run­ning
back. He is one of the best
broken field runners to ever dig his
cleats in the soil of Drake Field. In
addition to these backs the Plains
Tigers has man yother stars to boast
of. In the line "Square Jaw" Salter
always turns in a sterling perform­ance
at tackle while Baskin, Wat-wood,
Burns, Patterson, Cunningham,
Howard, Long and Market take care
of their respective positions in a
manner calculated to draw cheers
from the student body on many oc-cassions.
Captain Turner has prov­ed
himself to be owe of the most out­standing
fullbacks in the south and
Montgomerians *nli be treated to a
battle between giants when "Sea
Cow'' Turner and "Mount" Helvy
clash out at Crampton Bowl.
Torch Light Parade
The Tigers were given a great sen-off
when the entire student body en­gaged
in a torch light parade. It was
a manificant and awe inspring spec­tacle,
a, howling, whooping line of
young men over six hundred yards
in length. Each mar. brandished a
stick, around the top of which a rag
had been wrapped, soaked in oil and
ignited. This manifestation of the'
Auburn Spirit was enough to inspire
any team to a glorious victory.

"SHORTY" LONG
The above gridiron artist pictured
above is known around the campus as
"Shorty" Long. This premier lines­man
is playing his last year on the
Auburn varsity and his services are
going to be sorely missed when coach
Morey issues his call for candidates
next fall. Long has been a member
of the Auburn eleven for the past
three years and in every game he has
participated in he has given an excel­lent
account of himself. •
"Shorty has all the qualities that
go to make up a good linesman; he
measures over six feet in heifew-ftnd
tips the scales around one hundred
and ninety pounds. With this avoir­dupois
"Shorty is exceptionally shif­ty
on his feet; his large hands are
also quite an asset to his high class
line work.
Long hails from the northern part
of the state, Danville, Ala.
He received his previous football
training playing with Cullman High.
While playing in prep school circles
Long made a rather enviable record
receiving several mentions for the
All-State prep school team.
Long is a very active student
among campus activities; he is a
member of Alpha GammaRho Fra­ternity
and was elected Vice-Presi­dent
of the Senior Class for the year
26-27. "Shorty" has also other ath­letic
abilities being a member of the
Bastketball team and a candidate for
the baseball squad. It is indeed sad
for Auburn that they are to loose
this fighter after the present season
as it is men with a spirit such as
the above student has that keeps the
traditions of the Institution up to
their present high standard.

Rats Prepare for
Oglethorpe Game
While the big gang is using the
"Rats" as an imaginary Sewanee
tiger and treating them accordingly,
the Rats are giving them some idea
about how they expect to treat the
Junior Petrels from Oglothorpe in
the preleminary to the Tiger-Tiger
battle in Montgomery next Satur­day.
The Rats meet the Oglethorpe
Rats at ten a. m. in Crampton bowl
and are just now making plans to
pour enough Tiger oil on the stormy
Petrels to calm them into submission.
Just how stormy the Junior Petrels
are we do not know, but we can be
sure of one fact; it will be a real
demonstration of football. Unless
these Georgia boys present something
like, their big brothers did against
Tech in the seasons greatest upset,
it is our guess that they will be in
for quite a job handling these Tiger
cubs from this Tiger Village.
It is true that the Varsity makes
some mighty big holes in the Rat line
and makes some long runs around
the ends, but they do that against
the best in Dixie so that can not be
pointed as a weakness of the Rat
team. On the other hand when the
Rats are given a trial at ball toting
against the varsity there is also some
yardage gained. • This however, is
just a hint as to show the Rats do
their stuff. It has been some time
since a smoother pair of half backs
than Crawford and Callahan have
graced a Rat uniform in . Auburn
Too, there is Coleman one of the best
defensive backs to b> /iad and Garn-ger
a real driving back of the old
style. He hits 'em hard and lets get
up if they can. When a need for
fancj running and side stepping is
apparent the "Chink" is always ready
to be called and can be depended on
to do just what the opposing man
thinks he isn't. All of us should get
to the Bowl by ten a. m. Saturday
and watch these lads along with their
other team mates speak the words
and perform the Miracles that will
calm the^etrels storm.
JOE MARKET
The Tiger pictured above is known
to every Auburn student as one of
the hardest fighters on the present
Auburn squad. It is none other than
Joe Market who holds down the pivot
position for King David Morey.
Market has played every position in
the line since casting His lot with
the Tiger of the Plains. He played
end under Pitts in 1924 and last year
found him doing service both at tac­kle
and at guard. It is no uncommon
event to see the man pitted against
Market having time called out for
him or even being displaced by a new
player. This is not due to any dirty
playing on the part of Market but is
only an evidence of the fact that
he is in on every play giving forth
his best and it usually takes better
than an average man to stay in the
game if he tries to keep up with the
experienced Market. This is the last
year Auburn wil be blessed by the
services of this big linesman and it
is a sad occasion for all Auburn when
Market puts his uniform away for
the last time after the farcas in At­lanta
on Turkey Day. Market make
his letter on the diamond for two
seasons however he did not give any
time to the national pastime last sea­son.
He has made the coveted A for
three seasons on the gridiron. Mar­ket
is a well known student on the
campus being connected with several
organizations; he is a member-of Sig­ma
Phi Sigma fraternity. Joe is not
an Alabama product hut hails from
the city of La Grange, Ga.
GRIDIRON GAB
"Down Sewanee" this is the cry of
every true Auburn student. Ths Au­burn
Tiger showed everyone that
they could not be discouraged by one
unfortunate break in a football seas-son
by the way they journeyed down
to the Crescent City some five hun­dred
miles from home and defeated
a team doped to be stronger than Au­burn.
\
Many Auburn supporters are look­ing
on the outcome of the Auburn-
Sewanee game with much pessimism
but this column is .assuming the atti­tude
of one from the "Show Me"
state and we say not before Satur­day
is it possible to convince us that
the Auburn Tiger cannot out claw
the Tiger from the hills of Tennessee.
With Our Gridiron Foes
Sewanee's stock for this game did
take on somewhat of a rise after the
way they held the highly touted
team of Wallace Wade's to a 2-0 vict­ory.
Many critics call it a moral
victory for Sewanee. It is a known
fact that the Tennesseans are going
on the field with a line that will have
ths Plainsman line outweighed con­siderable
but if the Auburn linesman
charge as they did against Tulane"
it is hard for us to conceive of the
Sewanee line outplaying the Plains­man
bengals.
It seems as if no one was exactly
sure just who blocked Menville's punt
to give Auburn the only score in the
game but it seems that Pearce was
the brave who actually blocked the
oval as it started on its journey
down the field.
The Southern Conference race i*
narrowing down somewhat as the re­sults
of last weeks play showed only
four undefeated teams in the race.
They were Alabama, Tennessee V. P.
I., and Mississippi. If all these
teams could retain their standing of
1000, the championship would in all
probability fall to the Crimson Tide
as this team has more conference
games on her schedule than any of
the other aforementioned elevens.
Snider and Fisher certainly looked
like All-Southern men in the game
against Tulane last Saturday. These
two speed demons were sliping
through the Greenies line at all
stages of the game and were on a
steady drive for a touchdown when
the referee's whistle sounded the
end of the game.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF ENERGY
It seems to be the purpose of na­ture
here on this earth to return en­ergy
to its source, the Sun^—that is,
as near as we mortals can reason it
out from a material point of view.
Man seems to be the principal me­dium
selected by nature for the re­turn
of this energy.
And individual man is rewarded by
nature according to the degree that
he returns it.
Since the very beginning of time
nature seems to have tried a long
series of experiments in an effort
to get her original force back into
space within the shortest time and
with the greatest ease.
—Imperial Magazine.
The Tiger from the Mountains
came to Birmingham last Saturday
and gave the followers of the Crim­son
Tide the worst scare they have
had this season. A blocked punt in
the final period prevented a tie.
Fumbles kept Alabama from piling
up 25 or 30 points. Many were the
passes which, if completed, would
have meant a long gain and perhaps
a touchdown for the Crimsons. Pen­alties
cost Sewanee a score in the
first few minutes of play. The ball
was carried within the 10-yard line,
but lost on a penalty for holding. In
the last quarter Sewanee stopped a
march by the Tide on the 1-yard line.
Helvey, Tiger fulback, was the big
star of the fray. The score, 2-0, was
an odd coincidence to that of the Au-burn-
Tulane game.
Haynes' failure to kick goal after
touchdown made up the difference
between a tie and defeat for L. S. U.
in the Mississippi A. & M. game. A.
& M. gained through the line and
around the ends, while L. S. U. made
105 of her 150- yards by forward
passes. Mason, quarter, and Connell,
fullback, .made several good gains
and played an excellent defensive
game.

dashed 20 yards for the
second score. He made another nice
run in the final period, this time for
44 yards. Parh.im, playing with a
broken nose, shared the honors with
him. i
Another case of when the .point
after touchdown decided a great
game was at Nashville when Geor­gia
lost to Vanderbilt by 14 to 13. A

against Auburn, made a good show­ing
in this game.
It seems to be quite a fad for the
Auburn Tiger to engage in a duel
with a Tiger from a , neighboring
state in the city of Montgomery. If
is to be remembered that the L. S. U.
boys cavorted under the name of Tig­ers
under the name of Tigers and so
do the Sewanee lads. Here is an
earnest hope that fate will deal the
Plainsman a better hand in this sec­ond
Tiger-Tiger fray.
We noticed a writeup of last week's
game in a Louisiana paper in which
it said that "The best team won the
football game."
Saturday finds Alabama engaging
L. S. U. in battle while Auburn is
taking on the heavy Sewanee grid­ders.
It so happens that each is in­terested
in the showing the other
makes because L. S. U. has beaten
Auburn and Sewanee succeeded in
giving the Crimson Tide a much bet­ter
fight than any of her previous
foes. Auburn Rats are going up a
real foe next Saturday morning at

Coach "Red" Brown has not an­nounced
his line up as yet but it is
a sure bet that such men as Calla­han,

is over.
Salter seemed to be the only Tiger
to receive much more than a scratch
in the game last week and as he
seems to have recovered from a pain­ful
hurt, there is nothing to worry
about as to injuries. It is probable
that More;- will use practically the
same combination against^ Sewanee
as he did against Tulane.
It is gratifying to know that we
made a favorable impression on these
Louisianan people and they were j
willing to concede our victory as a
well earned one.

One of the most noticable changes
in the positions of the players after

It seems that Morey considers Nel­son

He has more chance to carry
the fall in his new position and we
expect to see this speed artist rip
off some neat gains around our op­ponents

WIRT MEETING
IS INTERESTING
The Wirt Literary society had a
very interesting meeting Tuesday
night in Wirt Hall. A large crowd
was present, and an excellent pro­gram
was rendered. Eight new mem­bers
were- taken into the Wirt, and
they made short speeches in which
that said that they were very proud
"to be a member of the society.
Miss Estell Sentell gave a reading
entitled "Getting Insured," and it was
enjoyed very much by everyone pres­ent.
Mr. Peacock spoke on "James
Whitcomb Riley and His Works." He
pointed out that Riley was a good

and always cherished the
ambition to be a great poet. Mr.
Peacock said that the high schools
of the country began the celebration
of Riley's birthday in 1925. and have
continued it until the present. Mr.
Peacock recited the poem, " An Old
Sweetheat of Mine," by Riley, and
it was very beautiful.
Miss Bethune recited a poem en­titled,
"The American Pioneer" which
told of the early life of the Americans
and of the many hardships that they
encountered. They persisted in their
chosen country, however, and the re­sult
is the great America which we
know today.
John Thomas made a speech in
which he emphasized the necessity of
having the declamation contest try-out
soon. It was decided by the-society-
to have this try-out on No­vember
9, and the Wirt urges all of
its members, who think they can
speak, to try out for this declamation.
Miss Katherine Nunn, the critic,
said that the program was very good,
and that she had no criticism to make.
The Wirt is always glad to see both
new and old members, and assures
them that they are welcome, and will
profit by their affiliation with tb*

Some of the most popular ones
are concrete, hot mix limestone at
a cost of $1.45 per Cubic yard, light
mix limestone at $1.10 per cubic yard
and modified pique at $.65'per cubic
yard. Louisiana has just completed
some very successful tests on Black
Tou. Arkansas has some asphalt
pavement that has withstood heavy
traffic for the past ten years. The
biggest object seems to be that of
getting a road bed that will make a
substantial foundation for this heavy
covering* He said that one of the
most beneficial things that he derived
from his.experience, was the associa­tion
with the different men on the
job. There were several A. S. C. E.'s
whom he had the pleasure of meeting.
Mr. G. C. Ellis, Jr., talked on a
new method of reenforcing steel rails
by laying concrete 4 feet by 8 inches
deep.. This covers the tie and comes
almost to the top of the rail, just
leaving a trough on the inside for
the flange of the wheel to run in.
He gave us some pointers on calcu­lating
the cost per cubic yard to lay
this 8 inch concrete on the tracks.
Mr. TJnos, F. Hobart, chairman of
the program committee invites the
juniors to ask for a place on the
program. This is how you become
eligible for quality points.
Professor Baughman was given
credit for his attendance. He is a
regular booster of A. S. ,C. E.
This meeting was closed by the
president, who thanked every body,
for their increased interest. There
was an increase of at least 200 per
cent in the attendance.
Riley and Kintner's bird No. 538
laid her 320th egg on the closing day
of the Second Alabama National Egg
Laying contest which commenced No­vember
1, 1925 and closed Saturday
night, October 23, 1926, according to
reports given by John E. Ivey, super­visor
of the contest. The high indi­vidual
in last year's contest was a
Rhode Island Red, which produced
286 eggs during the fifty-one • week
period. The high bird of this year.
beat the one of last year by 34 eggs.
During the last week of this year's
contest, jthe high individual laid an
egg a day. This remarkable bird has
been going through a gradual molt
during trie last month'and shows no
indication of discontinuing her pres­ent
rate of laying. ' This bird, along
with a small number of high individ­uals
will be retained at the contest
and given an opportunity to complete
a 365 day record before being return­ed
to the owners.
The average production per bird
for the period of the contest, which
was fifty-one weeks, is 180.23 eggs
compared with 153.23, which was the
production per bird during the first
contest as shown by/ the records.
Eggline Farm's bird No. 381 has
laid .298 eggs and the first alternate
in the pen owned by the Lee Poultry ™.
Farm has laid 205 eggs. Both these
birds are White Leghorns. It may
be noted from the list of high indi­viduals
that six birds have equalled
or exceeded the record made by the
high individual during the first year's
contest.
The leading pen of the entire con­test
has finished with an average of
260 eggs per bird. This pen is own­ed
and bred by Riley and Kintner of
LaFayette and'Corydon, Indiana. This
is an excellent record of which the
owners of this pen may be justly
proud.
Robert E. Martin's pan of Brown
Leghorns have attained the splendid
record of'196.2 eggs per bird.
In the Ancona section Dr. and Mrs.
L. B. Wilkerson's pen No. 68 is lead­ing
with a production of 2073 eggs.
F. J. Sauer's pen of Black Minor-cas
outlaid their only competitor by
a production of 1786 eggs.
Dixie Barred Rock Yards of Mont­gomery
led in the Barred Rock sec­tion
with a production of 1920 eggs.
With two pens competing for first
place in the White Rock- section B.
E. Kelley leads with a production
of 1909 eggs.
R. H. Plummer of Grove Hill, Ala­bama,
holds the leading position
among the Rhode Island Reds, with
a production of 1978 eggs.
Among the three competinng en­tries
of Buff Orpingtons Pen 100
owned by Sam High leads with a
production of 1487 eggs.
The members of the A. I. E. E. held
their weekly meeting in Room 200,
Ramsay Engineering Building, at
7:00 o'clock last Wednesday even­ing,
October 27. The large attend­ance
had the pleasure of listening
to four very interesting talks given
by students in the Electrical En­gineering
Department. Mr. J. B.
Davis led the- program with a talk
on some of the work that he had
been doing for the past summer, that
is, cable splicing. This phase of work
is very important in the distribution
of power by the underground method.
Mr. Davis did justice to his subject
by explaining- every operation from
the pulling in of the cables to the
final sealing of the joint. The infor­mation
he gave is that whih is gained
only by a great deal of experience
with this subject.
Following Mr. Davis, was Mr. A.
L. Cameron, who offered an interest­ing
discussion on his last three sum­mer's
work with mechanical refrig-eration^-
the Frigidaire type of ap­paratus
in particular. He covered
the installation, principles of opera­tion,
and servicing, along with the
advantages and disadvantages of all
of this type of apparatus.

COMMISSION OF
FORESTRY SEEKS
NEW TYPE TREE
A tree that will takfe the place of
the vanishing chestnut is being
sought by the Alabama Commission
of Forestry. Experiments are being
initiated with a tree imported from
China and known scientifically by
the impressive name of Castanopsis
delavayi. fhe trees will be furnish­ed
by the "til. S. Bureau of Tlant In­dustry
and will be planted in groups
of from twenty to twenty-five in
different parts of the state.
The chestnut tree which is rapidly
becoming exterminated in this coun­try
through the action of the chest­nut
blight disease is one of the most
valuable of American species. The
growing scarcity of this tree has caus­ed
many speculations as to what will
take its place. Certain foreign spe­cies
of chestnut are regarded as more
resistant to the blight and their in­troduction
to this country on a large
scale is being advocated. Experi­ments
in this connection are being
carried on in various places. It has
also been thought, however that spe­cies
that are not chestnut but which
may possess many of the character­istics
of this tree might be introduced
and prove fully as satisfactory.
Botanically the Castanopsis occu­pies
a place between the oaks and the
chestnuts, and if it can be success­fully
grown on a large scale in this
country it promises to be a fairly
satisfactory substitute for the latter
tree. A considerable quantity of the
Alabama Power Company in Ala­bama
that is under advisory control.
Mr. Kenney explained the plans now
being put into operation to circle
the city of Mobile with a system of
five sub-stations to supply the power
needed in that community. He spoke
of his experiences in connection with
the installing of sub-station equip­ment,
installation of fans* and meter,
and with the testing of direct current
meters.
The final number of the evening
featured a talk by Harry Fulwifer, on
the Electrification of the Virginia
Railway. This is the largest under­taking
of its kind in the world, the
contract calling for the expenditure
of about fifteen million dollars. Mr.
Fulwiler gave several extracts from
the specifications for equipment used,
along with some of the unique fea­tures
of the power house construc­tion.
These points that he brought
out caused many to .realize the gi­gantic
project which the Virginia
Railway Company undertook and suc­cessfully
completed.
The A. I. E. E. will meet again next
Wednesday evening at the usual time
and place. All "elects" are cordially
invited as we liave a fine program
in store for them.
AG CLUB NEWS
Comer hall did not have sufficient
seats Wednesday night for the ever­growing
Ag Club, but more seats will

The progarm opened with an inter­esting
discussion of "Livestock in
Relation to Cotton Farming" by A.
C. Allen. Allen advised the farmers
to grow more livestock and less cot­ton,
but to make a careful study of
the various phases of the livestock
business before investing much money
in stock. It takes more business sense
to grow livestock successfully than
to grow cotton, he said.

S. A. M. E. MEETS
MONDAY NIGHT
The S. A. M. E. held its regular
meeting last Monday night, October
25. Several interesting talks were
made by members of the society.
S. L. Hancock gave a very interest­ing
talk on the "Reservoir Construc­tion
on Oahu, H. T." He told some
very interesting facts about the water
supply and the great quantity stored
there.
T. H. Pearce then told us o

There are also four foreign stu­dents
in Colorado Agricultural Col­lege.
Two of them are Armenians
who attended a school in Armenia
until the Turks captured their town.
They then entered the college at
Smyrna and were forced to leave
there when the great Smyrna disas­ter
came. One of the other foreign­ers
is from Korea, and the other
from Mexico.
Marquette University has started
a drive to raise funds with which to
erect a monument to Father Mar­quette,
the great explorer and pat­ron
of aMrquette University. It has
been recently discovered that the ex­act
spat of his death and burial is
not marked. It only seems fitting
that this spot should be marked.
It was announced in this column
last week ^that King College had
started a drive for 750,000 dollars.
They received a total of 375,000 dol­lars
to date. This speaks well for
them. They received one gift, from

"Farming in Korea" was ably pre­sented
to the club by M. H. Bryant.
He told about the dress, amuse­ments,-
habits, and crops of the Ko­rean
farmers. Some of these are
.very different from ours, for ins­tance
the farmers cook the feed for
their horses which are not much yar-er
than a big dog, and the horses are
swung in their stalls at night to keep
them from lying down. There are
no dogs in Korea, but geese are used
as yard dogs. Bryant closed by ad­vising
Miss Harris to get some geese
to protect the co-eds.
Lloyd Stinnett gave the Club a
vivid picture of the Dairy Show as
he saw it- on his recent visit to. De­troit.
He discussed the Dairy show
by saying that it was a graphic pic­ture
of the dairy business from the
producer to the consumer, that it was
very valuable to all dairymen as^well
as others, and that 100 of the best
dairy cows in the United States and
Canada were there. Stinnett next
told about the beautiful streets, parks,
art museums, and buildings of De­troit.
He also visited the various
automobile factories, finally coming
to the Ford, he said, was the most
interesting of all. Stinnett went
across the river to Canada. He did
not say what he got.
"How It Feels to Be a Football
Player" by "Red" Carter was-enjoy­ed
by the elub. Carter said that he
had rather play than talk to the Ag.
Club, even if it takes lots of time and
energy to get, and keep in tune to
"buck the line."
"The players feel that they are
playing for Auburn and not for them­selves.

Lifelong Wear Combined
with Writing Excellence
In a Non-Breakable Barrel
Dropped 3000 Feet
PUT the Parker Duofold point under a
magnifying glass and you'll see this.
The two nibs are extra strong because
made of extra thick gold, so skillfully tem­pered
that they do not have to bind to­gether
for support, each is seif-support-ing.
Thus a thin film of ink instantly forms
in the channel between these nibs—ready
to flow the instant the point touches paper.
To write, you do not have to shake a
Parker Duofold or spring the nibs apart.
The Parker writes immediately by its
own weight alone—without pressure,
without effort.
A point tipped with an extra large pel­let
of pure native iridium that defies a

150 Agricultural Students
Stage Frolic On
Campus
More than 150 agricultural stu­dents,
members of Auburn's well
known Ag. club, were hosts .Friday
night at their annual fair and frolic.
J. M. Herren, of Tallassee, president
of the Ag. club, was the sponsor in
charge.
In the parlance of the campus, the
affair was a "knockout." Faculty
members of the agricultural college,
as well as male and female students,
provided the fun. x
Earl Meadows, of Birmingham, the
great magician, created consterna­tion
in the audience with tricks that
could not be diagnosed. Two .well-dressed
women later proved to be
Professors Eaton and Robinson, of
the Ag. faculty.
The co-eds play, presenting a counv
try school, was also a feature. Pro­fessor
L. N. Duncan and home dem­onstration
agents visited the school
and made talks about club work.
In the fashion show the latest
styles were shown, while the danc
ing beauties made quite a hit.
Other features included the annual
wheelbarrow polo game between the
sophomores and freshmen, the sopho­mores
winning by 7-4.
Each department also had attrac­tive
exhibits of the work being done
by the Ag. club.

PETRIE'S LECTURE

NEW COURSE IS
EXPLAINED RAT
CONVOCATION
At rat convocation last Tuesday
Dr. Morfet gave a talk on the new
course "Self Direction and Adjust­ment"
that is being offered for the
benefit of Freshmen. This course
will show the new students how they
can put all their time on a budget
plan. This course will show them
the way to do certain things at cer­tain
times and at a regular time.
The course will be .of untold value to
the Freshmen; for if they can learn
how to use their time correctly the
first year, they will have the key to
college success and the key to success
to almost anything they undertake
to do. The present trouble with a
great many of the new students is
the fact that they foolishly throw
away much valuable time by putting
things off as long as possible. They
then attempt to prepare a lesson in
too short a time; the lesson, inade­quately
prepared, usually proves to
be somewhat of a problem to be over­come
later. This is a good chance
for the J'ats to learn how to do the
right thing at the right time and in
the right manners--.
The course was formally opened
Thursday morning from eleven to
twelve o'clock on the third floor of
the Main Building The course does
not offer any semester hour credit,
but does give the five quality points.
Rev.' Langston led the devotional
exercises. The convocation exercises
were closed with the Alma Mater
song being sung.

FAMOUS AUBURN BAND TAKES
NEW ORLEANS IN FINE STYLE
(Continued from page 1)
One Tulane supporter told Director
Bidez that he had never in his life
been running over the facts in his life
and asking ourselves some questions
about him.
1. His Famous Inventions
"There is a new thrill in the career
of the man. We did not know that a
scientific fellow could lead s© eager
and adventurous a life. We take a
sort of partriotic pleasure in the re­cognition
that he received at home
and abroad. Then we wind up by
saying to ourselves, 'And he invented
the electric light that we use, and
the phonograph that is playing
across the street, and he is the man
who is responsible for the modern
movies.'
"That alone would be enough to
make his name as well known as
Henry Ford's or Will Rogers.' But
some of us know, at least since
Thursday night, that he had almost
as much'to do with the storage bat­tery
and the electric railway. On
top of this they tell us that the tele­graph
and the telephone are "what
they are because of . improvements
that he made in them. And then they
talk of a multitude of minor contri­vances,
like the mimeograph, and of
his plan to make cement houses of a
standard pattern and in quanity pro­duction
like flivvers. Surely there
is no question about his being the
great American inventor.
2. A Persistent Question
"But behind all this there keeps
rising on our minds a pretty big
question: 'Is Mr. Edison really one
of our great men? What effect has
he and his inventions had on us?
"There is no doubt of the commer­cial
value of his inventions. We are
a richer country because of what he
did. Many great businesses today
are based directly or indirectly on
his work. I recently saw what seem­ed
to be a careful estimate of the
total capital invested in these. It
was more than six billion dollars. In
these businesses more than two-thirds
of a million people are employed.
But what has been the effect on our
civilization?
3. Has He Made Life Happier?
"Waalth, even for a whole coun­try,
does not necessarily mean hap­piness.
Has Edison made us a hap­pier
people? He has certainly made
the Usual tasks easier. He has given
us an amazing lot of conveniences,
that enable us to do often in five
minutes what used to take an hour.
He has given new and cheaper forms
of relaxation and amusement. More
than anyone else he has helped tame
nature and put her resources at our
disposal for work and play. That is
a very practical way to improve the
road to a happy life, if an old saying
that 'You can lead a horse to water,
but you can not make him drink.'
Now Mr. Edison has done much even
to create a thrist for a fuller, richer,
happier life. I doubt whether any
other American has given such a
stimulus to eagerness,, activity and
self-reliance. He seems to have
caught the very spirit of youth, and
to have broadcast it through our
country. Hundreds who have come
in contact with him have caught it
and in turn passed it on to others.
"Thus a sort of personal renaiss­ance
has radiated from him. Nothing
does more than a fine spirit. He has
it. A"man who can work with much
untiring industry and do it so.cheer­fully,
who can smile at failure and
turn it into success by keeping ever­lasting
at it, who can brush aside the
alluring distractions in life when
they interfere with the big job on
hand, who keeps in mind the welfare
of his fellows, and who with it all has
a saving sense of humor, is very apt
to be regarded by thoughtful Ameri­cans
as a really great man."
THE GLOMERATA STAFF
GETS OFF TO GOOD START
(Continued irom page 1)
The lvajority of the pictures have
already been taken. Through the
thorough cooperation of the students
in foi'.owing direction this was made
possible; and now a number of the
proofs of the pictures taken have
been returned to the Glomerata of­fice
for the students approval.
To the Alabama Engraving Com­pany,
Birmingham, has been given
the contract for the engraving of the
entire annual. Benson Printing
Company, Nashville, Tenn., is to
print the Glomerata this year. It is
hoped that these concerns will handle
their end of the work successfully in
order to make the Glomerata ah an­nual
that will compare more than
favorable with the preceding ones.

Agriculture students, these
friendly sons and* daughters of Au­burn
gathered and posed for the
camera man, in behalf of the Auburn
annual, The Glomerata, which is now
in preparation. This "beauty gath­ering"
was made Tuesday afternoon
of this week, on the steps of Comer
Agricultural Hall. Quite a number
of enrolled Ag. students were not
present, probably due to a misunder­standing
which led them to believe
that only A. Club members were to
be snapped.
The Agricultural department of A.
P. I. is indeed a live branch, its only
danger of a parallel lying in the En­gineering
department. Auburn is
famous for her Ag. students, both
eds and co-eds, who are characterized
on the campus by their super-friend­liness.

The "up and going" Ag. Club is
the student organization of this de­partment,
having for its president J.
M. Herren, '28. The high lights of
Auburn *s Agricultural movements

the Ag. Club, and edited by G. B.
Phillips, '27. This publication has
the unique distinction of being a
member of the A. C. M. A. It is
edited and managed entirely by col­lege

department. A large number -of
spectators gathered and enjoyed real
entertainment on this occasion; it
was indeed a great success.

and apparently it is for all. Lets
boost 'em; here'3 to the plowboy—
and girls!
