Following the football game of the

SPEAKS AT CONVOCATION
Alpha Iota of the Pi Kappa Phi,
national Greek letter fraternity, was
installed in Auburn, Saturday, Oc­tober
2, according to reports received
from the local fraternity, Tau Kappa
Phi, which was made a chapter of
the Pi Kappa Phi.
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity was found­ed
at the College of Charleston in
1904 and has chapters in the leading
institutions of the country including
University of Alabama, Howard Col­lege,
Georgia Tech, Florida, Tulane,
Georgia and Oglethorpe. The local
Tau Kappa Phi was founded in Au­burn
in 1920 and has made a good
record. For the past six years it has
held either first or second of the high­est
scholastic averages of any frater­nal
organization at Auburn, officials
say. Many prominent athletes at
Auburn have been affiliated with this
fraternity, Bobby Locke, "Pea"
Green, "Duke" Marquis, Coach "Red"
Brown, and "Doug" Thomason.
Installation ceremonies of Pi Kap­pa
Phi began Saturday afternoon and
terminated with a banquet and dance
at the Clement hotel in Opelika, Sat­urday

with the paper as proof-reader. Head,
a senior in the general course, is a
member of Alpha Mu Rho, and of the
Phi Delta Gamma and Alpha Phi

All through the early evening^ the
hospitality of the chapter was shower­ed
upon young men and girls of Au­burn,
Montgomery, and other parts

U. S. Senator and Alum­nus
of Auburn Makes
Plea for our Entrance
Into World Court
The greatest problem that con­fronts
the world today is finding a
way to prevent war, United States
Senator J. Thomas Heflin declared
in a ringing appeal for united sup­port
of the movement to have the
United States join the World Court.
Senator Heflin, the first convoca­tion
speaker at Auburn, was intro­duced
by President Spright Dowell
as a platform speaker without a peer
and a loyal son of Auburn. Follow­ing
the introduction the Auburn stu­dent
body stood and wildly cheered
the Alabama Senator. The Senator's
address on the World Court was punc­tuated
with applause indicating the
sentiment of the student body for
world peace.
Following the address, Senator
Heflin was the honor guest of the
Villagers club where he also spoke.
In the evening the senator was the
honor guest of' the Chattahoochie
Valley Bankers Association, which
was in session in Auburn Thursday.
While the senator's address was on
the World Court, he referred to the
present cotton situation in the South.
He vigorously condemned the system
of handling cotton through specula­tion
which he judged is responsible
for the low price of the staple at the
present time. He declared that the.
speculators in cotton are selling some­thing
which they do not own, which is
wrong. The South he declared can
dictate the price of cotton to the
world and can bring in $250,000,000

FIRE AT WAREHOUSE
The Auburn Fire Department was
called at a late hour last Monday
night. The warehouse of the Auburn
Warehouse Co.,Inc., located on the
Opelika road caught fire about 11:00
o'clock Monday night. The sprink­ler
which held the fire in check until
the truck arrived turned in the alarm.
It was necessary for three hundred
feet of hose to be laid for the fife
was difficult to reach.
Conflagration by spontaneous com­bustion
in the rear of the warehouse.
The source of the fire was such that
it was necessary to move forty or
fifty bales of cotton.
Only a few boys were down at the
blaze to fight it. Charles Apps was
was slightly yet not seriously injured
when several bales of cotton from the
top of which he was handling a noz­zle,
collapsed.
In view of the fact that the present

"As this is Fire prevention week,
the people are urged to make pre­parations
to have their flues and

It is obvious that the United States is
being viisted with a crime wave. Consid­ering
the fundamentals upon which our
civilization and country were founded this
is a very saddening condition. Some good
people think that the world is growing
worse day by day and that the United
States is the worst part of it. When we
start thinking that our troubles are break­ing
us down it is time to look around and
see how our friends are prospering. Eng­land
is gradually recovering from a crime
wave against which she has been fighting
for over fifty years. France is in the throes
of a more intense crime wave than ours.
The American criminals after the war
taught the Apache American methods. For­merly
the Apache stayed in the underworld
seldom bothering outsiders. ' Now this .type
of criminal does much of his crime away
from home and uses the Apache dives for
hiding.
Countless articles have been published
thru newspapers and magazines on our
present crime wave. It is interesting to
note the experiment being tried by some'
newspapers. They believe that the publish­ing
of crime news on the front sheet of a
newspaper cultivates adesire in its readers
for such sensational news. The continued
reading of crime news every day keeps
crime before one's mind until it becomes
commonplace. Young people are some­times
impressed with the criminal methods
used and familiarity with such methods be­comes
Manger with some types of people.
Consequently some papers are publishing
their crime news on the inside of the pa­per.
It will be a difficult problem to solve
for the direct effect this experiment will
have upon the present situation and the
conclusions that t he various papers will
reach is something to look forward to with
much interest.
hold the world's dislike.
Some Americans agree with the allies
that the debts are not true debts but are
our part of the great war bill and that our
self-respect and conscience should urge the
United States to cancel them. However,
others believe that since it is mechanically
impossible to collect the debts from these
war-bled nations no matter how much good
faith they carried with them, the sooner
the debts are cancelled the better off this
country will be.
The general mass of people demand that
the debts be paid in full because they think
they are just debts. The United States
must collect these debts in equity to the
taxpayer who will have to pay them if the
allies do not. It does not'seem that Europe
deserves a cancellation of the debts at this
time. To deserve such beenvolence from
us Europ*e should show some signs of good
will among nations. It would be a waste
lion dollars of obligations when they are
of wealth to relieve Europe of eleven bil-supporting
vast armaments and some parts
of it are supporting costly wars.
As for the sentimental effect of the can­cellation
we would have gained little in­ternational
good will by the cancellation
of these debts just after the war and we
would gain nothing in' that line by cancel­lation
now. Our world-wide unpopularity
has its roots deeper* than the debts. It
lies in the human dislike of the prosperous
by the unprosperous.
Our debtors cannot get gold with which
to pay these debts. If they could, the in:
flux of gold into this country with the al­ready
large accumulations would tend to
make our price levels higher and thus be
a great handicap in our foreign trade.
The existence of these debts is opposed
to our own interest. They are a pall over
Europe. The improvement of Europe
is not to our selfish interest. Taking the
world as an economic wohle, we must suf­fer
to some extent when Europe suffers.
However, if this country cancelled the
war debts, nations making war loans in the
future would feel that international loans
could be lightly repudiated.
From the above pro and con points on
the international war loans this situation
looms up as a mighty issue of the world
today. As the loans were hard-earned
American money it seems unfair to the
American taxpayer to cancel them. Also,
since the allies cannot pay the debts as they
agreed and since the debts are a pall over
all concerned it would seem best to cancel
them. This question is still in the balance
and it is requiring the best of the nations
leaders to solve it in a satisfactory man­ner.
'
WAR DEBTS
The United States is now holding 22 bil­lion
dollars worth of bonds from thirteen
sovereign nations made in the last 62 years
in adjustment of their war loans. Lately
there has been a growing amount of dis-.
cussion as to the cancellation of the debts
of our allies, all of our .debtors hope for
cancellation, and most of them regard
them as technical debts rather than moral
obligations. Reflection ocncerning these
debts has gradually grown into bitter emo­tional
outbursts against the United States.
Especially is this so in France. We hold
the world's bonds but at the same time we

Our Village is once again host to more

Time, when it might be said, with an ele­ment
of truth, that no student here would
dare ask his sister or best girl down to the
dances, has passed. We pride ourselves
upon the morale of the body of which we
are integral parts and hesitate to think
tha£ the Auburn Spirit, carrying with the
suggestion of unimpeachable integrity, is
merely a convenient working hypothesis.
Actions calculated to blemish the purity of
her fair name should be scorned and sup­pressed
by all high minded students.
Naturally the first infraction of the rules
of society which occurs to us is the drink­ing
of copious amounts of intoxicating
liquors. The reason for one's doing such
a foolish thing has as yet to be discovered.
It seems to us that the percentage is de­cidedly
against one who indulges so freely.
In the first place it so dulls his wits that
he is rendered unable to appreciate the
finer sensibilities of his nature. His power
of intelligent conversation is noticeably
diminished and the mpression which he
registers upon his guest or even his friends
is rather uncomplimentary, to say the least.
Most of the vices attendant upon the
modern dance may be laid to the door of
excessive drink. One who is in a state of
extreme intoxication is more unable to dis­tinguish
between right and wrong than one
who has full control over his powers of
reason. If the present were not sufficient
warning against imbibing too often, the
future or rather aftermath, should serve
as a very forceful warning. The odds are
overwhelmingly against the heavy drinker
for the hang over is inevitable.
Psychologists will probably say that this
undue indulgence is the result of an infer­iority
complex. Perhaps it is, but, in plain
English, it is a"n act of supreme cowardice.
Two explanations may be given this state­ment.
Either the subject fears the con­tempt
of certain of his friends upon 'his
refusal to drink with them, or he wishes
to overcome natural deformities of face,
form, ability or what not by robbing'him­self
of sensitiveness by rendering his senses
entirely immune to all outside impressions.
It lies within the power of Auburn stu­dents,
individually and collectively to make
or mar the success of these dances. Graci­ous
conduct on their part will assure the
continuance of these annual affairs, but
rough and uncouth deportment will lower
the moral tone of the institution and re­flect
on their social environment.
These dances are, in many cases, initiat­ing
the freshmen into organized society
and will possibly be the first functions of
this nature they have attended. < They
should be taught not to gurgle Alabama
corn without batting an eye, but the cour­tesy
and deference due our sisters and
sweethearts, the heritage of the women of
the south.
ALL HONOR TO THE FINE YOUNG
CHAPS WHO SHOW WILLINGNESS
TO SERVE!
"While advocates of a smaller army and
navy and a gradual abandonment of all
forms of military preparedness continue
their propaganda, it is interesting to note
that the Reserve Officers Training Corps
is proving a source of new material for the
Officers Reserve Corps of the United
States Army. The many graduates from
the R. O. T. C. in the schools and colleges
are taking their place in the regular line
organization, thus assuring increasing
strength to our country in times of sharp
emergencies when strong trainad me% may
be needed to uphold the honor of America.
"To date 4,842 graduates of the 1926
school year from institutions having re­serve
officers' training corps units^ have
been appointed in the officers' reserve
corps. By branches these appointments
are as follows: Infantry, 2,105; cavalry,
197; field artillery, 570; coast artillery,
corps, 366; air corps, 80; corps of engin­eers,
400; signal corps, 115; quartermaster
corps, 2; ordnance department, 144; chemi­cal
warfare service, 15; medical corps, 601;
dental corps, '217; and veterinary corps, 30.
Graduates of schools located in the
seventh corps area, comprising the states
of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Ne­braska,
Minnesota, North and South Da­kota,
head the list of appointments by
corps areas with 857. The fourth cotps
area of North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida,, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Louisiana is second with 831. The
third corps area of Pennsylvania, Mary­land,
Virginia and the District of Colum­bia
is third with 694. The other corps
areas have approximately the same num­ber
from each. Even from Hawaii 15
graduates have been appointed, all in the
infantry—even our brown brothers from
the islands want to do their bit in the
event of trouble, whilst our neighbor paci­fists
are doing all they humanly can to stop
this sensible training altogether.
"The News is glad to note that the
fourth corps area, in which Alabama is in­cluded,
has made an excellent showing in
this patriotic and sound development of the
citizen army. It is to the citizen reserves
we must look for the' armies of the future
when and if they are needed. All honor
to these fine young chaps who have shown
their willingness to serve!"—Birmingham

ON WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING
Last Wednesday evening at 6:07 o'clock
Central time, 6:03 o'clock Main Building
time and 6:10 o'clock Engineering Build­ing
time, Miss Eula Hester, esteemed presi­dent
of the Women's Student Government,
made an announcement. This announce­ment
was made -during the evening meal at
Smith Hall, and was received by such a
sharp intake of breath on the 'part of the
Freshman Zoo-eds that a vacuum was creat­ed
which almost suffocated several inno­cent
onlookers and which caused such a
draught that Prof. Humphrey's whiskers
were blown into the gravy. The announce­ment^
made in severe and awe inspiring
tones, ran thus:
"There will be a Rat inspection at ten
o'clock tonight in the lobby of this build­ing,
All Freshmen Co-eds are expected to
be present, including those who stay at
Mrs. Stodghills'. No excuses for absence
will be accepted."
During the remainder of the meal Fresh­men
choked at regular intervals, so great
was their anxiety and distress.
What horrible orgy, what soul-rending
torture, what blood-curdling agony, oh
gentle reader, does your wildest flights of
imagination picture as awaiting these poor,
defenseless, innocent creatures? We shud­dered
as we visioned them being dragged
forth by the hair of the head and beaten
like the proverbial rug.
Toward ten, the trembling frosh arrived
at the appointed place of torture, but in­stead
of the expected array of battle axes,
torture racks, and what not, what do you
suppose awaited them? Why, the upper
classmen had prepared the darlingest lit­tle
surprise party ever. A little informal
reception as it were, where they all hugged
one another and drank lemonade. An "uh-doorable"
time was had by all in spite of
the row kicked up by two little freshmen,
Anne Lichty and Francis Hickman by
name, who wept bitterly because the lemon­ade
wasn't pink.
The above is, a certified statement pf
fact. In other words, this actually happen­ed
in our beloved Village. Such an "in­spection"
is not surprising among our Co­eds,
but has our own Vigilance Committee
degenerated to this extent? Probably not
as yet, but just give them time—they are
making progress.
(Moral: Vigilance Committees should al­ways
serve pink lemoade.)'
"IS JESUS A MYTH?"
Last week there appeared in the Plains­man
an editorial, which was a, copy of a
recent article that appeared in "The Na­tion"
entitled: "Is Jesus a myth?" The
attitude of the man that put this article
in the Plainsman is very evident. He is
content to let someone else do his think­ing.
From all appearances he did not stop
to question the article, but assumed it as
true, because it had gotten into print.
On the other hand this article is to be
questioned very seriously. The author of
this article mentions that none of the an­cient
historians mention Jesus. Have we
not as much authority to believe the au­thenticity
of the Gospels and Epistles as
we have to believe any of the Roman,
Greek or Jewish historians? The majority
of the writers of the New Testament died
for their faith. Would they have sacrificed
their lives for what they knew to be only
a creation of their own minds?
Jesus (assuming that he was a real per­son)
at any rate had the broadest concep­tion
of life that has eved been known to
man. Aristotle's science and philosophy
has been discarded, to a large extent, in
the light of modern discoveries.; but, the
principles that Jesus taught can be ap­plied
to our complex way of living as well
as to the simple mode of life of the Gali­lean
fishermen.
, If Jesus is a myth, the New Testament
is a man-made affair. So is the Old Testa­ment,
for it prophesies the coming of the
Christ, with the mention of many events
that are recorded in the New. If our Bible
be only a pretty fairy tale, to what have
we to pin our faith?
Christianity is not a fake, as it would
be, were there no Christ. No other thing
has ever been attacked as Christianity has.
If it were not founded on something more
than a man's imagination, the fraud would
have been exposed and forgotten long ago.
But, despite the attacks made on it by the
most brilliant men of the past, and the pres­ent;
desipte the Roman persecution, the
inquisition, religious intolerance of all
kinds, logic, wars, and scientific discover­ies,
it stands firmer today than it ever has.
The writer of this article would tear
down our faith in God; but he offers us
nothing to take its place. If his ideas were
put into practice what would guarantee
our complicated financial system, built on
faith? What would uphold the sacredness
of our homes, the honor of our sisters,
sweeihearts and mothers? Yes, what would
guarantee even our lives? Our entire codes
of law and ethics are based on the prin­ciples
laid down by Jesus. What would re­place
them?
t AUBURN FOOTPRINTS «
Last Tuesday night the co-eds held an
"inspection." The main feature of this in­spection
was the dispensing of pink lemon­ade
to the sundry rats by the more digni­fied
upperclassmen—(I mean upperclass-women—
if I may coin such a word). A
near riot followed when some of the said
lemonade leaked out into the Alumni Dor­mitory.
We would suggest that after the
deadlier sex has set the example that the
vigilance committee end their period of in­activity
by summoning the freshman class
to the drill field to partake of some of the
more heavier forms of refreshments, such
as bull and grits, etc.
* * :fi *
Coach Morey is worried about the wel­fare
"of the team since "Seacow" Turner
has "rode" to popularity as the aftermath
of an injured ankle. /
* * * *
We are pleased to announce the admis­sion
of "Willie" Frank to the society known
as the "Auburn Sheiks" Willie has proved
his proficiency in that line in the last month
by his activities around Smtih Hall. It is
generally understood that he has establish­ed
a school for Poker players, crap shoot­ers,
and tobacco chewers. The above men­tioned
indoor sports being accepted by the
co-eds with great enthusiasm. We are will­ing
to believe Ithat "Willie" can just about
work anything there that he wants to try.
:!-. * # *
From the latest reports from the "Ag"
Building "Red" Arant is becoming alarmed
at the rapid increase of popularity of the
above-mentioned senior "elec" (or Alex.)
"Red" has been ceded the title of "custo­dian
of the zoo" by the "Ags" but with the
rise of "Willie" Frank the elecs are not
willing to recognize "Red's" title. It is
generally thought that this "flaming youth"
is contemplating some drastic action to
reagin his waning popularity.
"What good does it do?" Of course it
does make a noise, but a "War Eagle" or
"Eat 'em up Tiger—r—r-r-r-r" is easier
to yell, and the sound carries better. We
are not so pessimistic to think that what
we have mentioned means nothing to an
Auburn man. We are of the opinion that
that men that have indulged in such yells
thought nothing of it; but let us stop and
think.
We regret to say that we have noticed
at the various mass meetings and at the
games such expressions as "To Hell with
Chattanooga," "To Hell with Clemson" etc.
This is the first year that we have noticed
such expressions, and we hope that they
will be discontinued. They are inconsist­ent,
with the Auburn Spirit, good sports­manship,
refined and gentle manners, and
good morals. This is not profanity, as
many may suppose, as it does not take the
name, of God in vain,.but it is opposed to
good morals, since we assume the authority
of God, in our judgment on others. We
would condemn them—for no reason at all.
We want to develop a spirit of clean and
friendly rivalry with other institutions. By
assuming such an attitude we are assum­ing
a position that is deliberately unfriend­ly,
if not hostile to our opponents.
Furthermore, by assuming such an atti­tude
of "Win, at the price of morality and
sportsmanship." If we are superior, where
is the glory, of winning? But, still far­ther:
Our team may be superior to others
that we play, but the personnel of our
team, is not superior to that of other teams
before the law, before society, or before
God. And if we wish to'win at any cost
we are going against the traditions of Au­burn.
Auburn has not won every game,
but we have a reputation of clean, hard
olaying that has made Auburn famous.
This is the main reason that we have what
is called the "Auburn Spirit." No team
(ft
could fight against odds as we- did against
Vandy and Tech last year were it not for
this "Auburn Spirit." When we lose our
ideals of clean sportsmanship, and good­will
to our opponents, our Alma aMter will
lose its sacredness, and the Auburn Spirit,
as it now is will die, and one of a courser,
and uglier nature will take its place, which
will not spur its athletics, nor anyone else,
to victory over odds.
But, if all the above reasons mean noth­ing
to you, allow us to ask this question,
Instructions to Freshmen who will make
the L. S. U. Game in Montgomery:
Stand by, all ye dumb rodents and bear
with me patiently as I attempt to impart
some wisdom into your hopelessly empty
craniums. As has been the custom of all
Auburn men since time immemorial, you
will sojourn in the metropolis of Montgom­ery,
for a sufficient season to witness the
Aub»*H- Tiger register another triumph.
You will board the special that leaves
Auburn ort the morning of the game, or if
you are a ladies' man and are fortunate
enough to know one of the same in the
capital city you may go down the previous
evening. You will ride the coaches, but
care must be taken that you do not exit
at Chehaw, Baldwin Farms or some other
intermediate point. The conductor will an-j
nounce the arrival of the .train in Montgom­ery.
Should you have a date there on Fri­day
night as I have suggested you may
learn the latest conventions of how to fill
the same by sending a stamped, self-ad­dressed
envelope to Sam Mosley. Sam has
a wide and varied knowledge of the femi­nine
part of the species, as they appear in
Montgomery.
On entering the city you will find your­self
in the Union Station. It is called the
"Union Station" because they kept Union
prisoners there during the Civil War. And
you will spend some time gazing at this
masterpiece of architecture, and interesting
historical edifice. On the way from the
station to the central portion of the town
you will pass some of the most elaborate
warehouse, livery stables, and local yards
in the South. You will suddenly find your­self
in a large open space, which is the
intersection of five streets, and which con­tains
a statsie plus a fountain, and is
known as "Capitol Square." The puzzle
is to find the square.
After enjoying Capitol Square and tak­ing
a shower in the fountain therein, you
may proceed to the capitol. You may get
to the capitol by starting out on Dexter
Avenue and following your nose. But be
careful that you don't fall into some of the
pitfalls in the pavement that Spang, the
cartoonist for the Montgomery Advertiser,
has made famous. These are occasioned
by the cobblestone pavement, which ap­pears
to be another relic of the Civil War.
You will run into a building that looks
like a gigantic soap box, with a derby hat
on top of it, surmounted by a tin can. This
is the capitol. This building was also the
capitol of the Confederacy at one time.
After you have thoroughly sampled the
capitol and have acquired a little nourish­ment
you may go to Crampton Bowl, where
the Tiger of the plains will m * t the less
fierce tiger from the lagoons of Louisiana.
Why it is called a bowl no one knows, but
we think it is called such, because the
Architect that designed it got his inspira­tion
from a fish bowl. There is enough
concrete in the bleachers to pave College
Street from Alumni Hall to the zoo. Should
there be a rain Crampton Bowl will be
recognized by its mud.
After the game you may des:?« to see
Kilby prison. To do that you may commit
a robbery, murder a man, forge a check,
or a number of other sundry crimes. But
we cannot guarantee your safe return to
Auburn. The best policy, is to leave the
game, go to the Depot, and board the
"O^OS" and get back in Auburn in time
for the second show.
WITH OTHER COLLEGES
The Unversity of North Carolina is con­templating
a big building campaign. The
officials of the institution are going to
ask the state legislature for an appropria­tion
of the huge sum of $4,640,000. Of
this sum, $2,383,000 will go for the pur­pose
of building new buildings, and other
permanent improvements. Then $2,257,000
will be used for maintenance. This attests
We can not help but believe in the exist­ence
of a real, living and personal Christ.
We have higher motives for this belief, but
if there were nothing else in its favor,
Christianity would be good policy. We all
prefer our civilization to savagery, which
must needs come, should Christianity fail.
We do not mean savagery in the sense that
it occurs in Africa; but without Christian­ity
we would have an even more brutal
regime than what is there, in spite of our
arts, and sciences.

upon at the regular meeting Tuesday
night.
After Scripture" reading by Miss
Hooper, Arley Bass gave a very in-teres'ting
talk -on the cotton situa­tion.
Cotton has decreased in price,
and the farmers have become disap­pointed
and discouraged. Cotton is
rushed in on the market, and this
has lowered the price. Mr. Bass said
that a cooperative plan of market­ing
must be organized. F. L. Tucker
spoke ""on "National Defense." He
said that the United States must
at all times be prepared for war. He
also gave the present status of the
Army, and emphasized the fact that
although war is not in sight, we must
have a strong army and organized
reserves.
Mr. D. C. Nation had as his sub-ject,
"The United States and The

The World Court objects to the

whether or not the United States will
enter. Edgar Jones gave several cur­rent

SMOKER FOR
M.E. FRESHMEN
The A. S. M. E. held its regular
meeting Wednesday night. Instead
of the usual technical program a
Smoker was given which was en­joyed
by all. About forty-five stu­dents
were present, the baldness of
the rats being quite conspicuous.
Cigars and cigarettes were passed
around and the Smoker soon devel­oped
into a Talker. The meeting
was called to order and Mr. Gillette
read the Constitution and By-laws.
The main feature of the program
was a talk by Prof. Gorman on Hon­orary,
active and associate members
and various phases of the work of the
A. S. M. E. Society. The national
phases of the work^of the A. S. M. E.
Society, The national membership
of the Society is well over sixteen
thousand memebrs.
The program was completed by
music from the Francis Brothers.
This part of the program received
too many encores for the meeting to
adjourn promptly at eight o'clock.
Participation in engineering soci-ties
for engineering students is a very
desirable and beneficial campus ac­tivity.
We herein urge all Mechan­icals
to attend the A. S. M. E. The
Smoker was the first on the A.S.M.E.
program this fall but its success war­rants
that it shall not be the last.

PRESENED AT AG
CLUB MEETING
The Ag club held its regular meet­ing
Wednesday night in Comer Hall.
"What other Ags are doing" was
ably discussed by C. T. Thompson.
He brought out .the fact that many
of the clubs are putting out very
creditable agricultural papers which
are a great help to the farmer. How­ever
none of the Ag. Clubs of the
U.S. are getting out a better paper
than our own Alabama Farmer.
Harry Wise talked very interest­ingly
of the "Value of Travel as an
Educational Asset." Mr. Wise stat­ed
that travel enabled one to-see
more than one side of a question,
and to learn many things from other
people. The large trees of Califor­nia
and Oregon, some of which are
more than thirty-six feet in diameter;
the fancy products grown there; the
cooperation of the people; and many
other things were discussed.
L. N. (Napoleon Bonapart) Perry
kept the crowd entertained with his
experiences at Fort Bragg the past
summer. Mr. Perry advised all
freshmen to make the trip to Fort
Bragg when' their time came, for
pleasure and profit, he thinks, will
be derived from such a trip.
I is playing a great part in the- con-j
f erence. Some of the questions that
1 are to be discussed at this conference
are those suggested by the Auburn
Y. W. At this conference all of the
Alabama colleges that have Y. W.
C. A. work will be represented, some
of them are, Judson, Howard, Birm­ingham-
Southern, Alabama, Monte-vallo,
Auburn, and some of the Nor­mal
Schools.
Auburn is not only playing a great
part on the program of the confer­ence,
but they are sending a large
representation. Six girls are leaving
Auburn Thursday morning. They
will make the trip in a car (Ford)
through the country. The girls mak­ing
the trip are: Allie Hughes, Beth
Siebold, Eunice Stinnitt, Dorothy
Taylor, Mildred Cheshire, and Cather­ine
Hare. We are expecting great
things from these girls who are rep­resenting
Auburn. We hope thaT
they will maintain all the standards
of character and scholarship that are
held by Auburn women. Lets co­operate
and work with the cabinet
and make this the greatest conference
ever held and next fall have the
"Y. W. C. A. Conference of Alaba­ma
at Auburn."

WILSONIANHAS
GOOD NUMBER
IN ATTENDANCE
Some seventy-five young people
attended the Wilsonian Literary So­ciety
meeting Tuesday night. A de­lightful
evening it was to those who
had come for fun and interesting
lectures, as well as a goodly taste of
music.
R. Alston gave an entirely new
lecture on the Mexican Indian ques­tion
showing that we know very little
of the situation as it is and that
an external or internal force must
come about to bring relief and pre­vention
from disaster to the Mexican
Indian.
With our dear friends, A. P. and
W. P. Francis present, the next
twenty minutes was spent in a musi­cal
entertainment. The room seemed
filled with mirth and joy as the
brothers sent musical chords through
the audience.
"Rat" Corbet Bishop seemed well
informed on Wilson Dam; enough so
that he gave practically a complete
account of the great project at Mus­cle
Shoals. He even mentioned the
large quantity of fish found there.
"Rat" John O'Rouke gave a short
analysis of the trade between Great
Brittain and South America, showing
that the mother country had lost
much ground in her trade develop­ment
among the South American
countries.
Miss Martha Haupt showed the
way for overcoming scant expression
in her outlay of the life and works
of Vachael Lindsay, one of our great
poets. Her reading from one of his
well-written poems was enjoyed by
all.
G. A. Parker gave his experiences
at Fort Bragg during the past sum­mer.
His outline showed the com­plete
doings of the boys during their
stay at this camp of Uncle Sam's up
in the Carolina foothills.
The President's seat was held by
F. E. Bertram, vice-president of the
society. Many new faces were pres­ent
and from the way things are go­ing
the society seems due for a great
year; even one of her greatest.
CUT
He saw her slowly and inevitably
turn her footsteps toward the edge
of the cliff. She was sobbing great
heartrending, choking sobs. She paus­ed
at the brink and stared down as
though fascinated at the thought of
destruction. Finally she shrugged
her little shoulders and prepared to
leap. Here Hairbreadth Harry leap­ed
with long masculine strides toward
her, and caught her around the waist
just as she was about to topple over.
"What!" he cried. "Is this a maid
in distress?" ...
"Well, you prune," she said scorn­fully,
"you wouldn't expect to find
a man wearing one, would you?"
They both fell over.—Maniac.

The latest development in the Maz
da electric lamp is the inside frosted
and pear shaped bulb invented by
Mr. Marvin Pipkin, a graduate of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute. This
new lamp embodies several new and
excellent features that have been
needed in what was already consid­ered
a perfect lamp just a year ago.
This new lamp gives a perfect dif­fusion
of light which eliminates the
objectionable glare of the old clear
lamp and aslo - the unsightly shad­ows
cast by the direct glare. The
light is very soft and causes no un­necessary
strain on the eyes. It is
especially good for reading and for
children to study by because it does
not overtax the eyesight. At lot of
bad eyes in schools are due to poor
lighting. This has been a hindrance
to school children as their eyes are
in the formative period and are nat­urally
very sensitive.
The new lamp was selected by arch-itects,
artists, decorators and design­ers
as the most beautiful for all pur­poses.
The shape and color harmo­nize
beautifully with all surroundings.
The lamp is already so popular and
in ' such demand that all Alabama
Power company employees have been
given special instruction which ena­bles
them to explain its merits to
everyone. The lamps are also known
at the display room of the Alabama
Power company and at various stores
and electric shops that handle the
standard line of General Electric
and Westinghouse Mazda lamps.
THE RAILY ROUND
Each day has big adventures
For those with minds alert;
The morning ride by garden-side,
And down through smoke and dirt;
The talkative conductor
Who always has his quip,
The swings and swerves around the
curves,
The car a tossing ship.
At every crowed crosing
Fate stands prepared to strike; "
The young, the old, the meek, the
bold,
Must play with chance, alike.
The hurry and confusion,
Return with every day,
And Fear and Pride walk side by side
Along the noisy way.
The tons of red steel swinging
Two hundred feet in air,
The heedless throng that moves along,
Forever going—where?
The tearing down, and building
Each morning something new,
And, now and then, a clash of men
Whose mental gifts are few.
Each day has big adventures
For those who learn to think;
The quickened stride to pass beside
A girl whose cheeks are pink;
The chance for splendid effort,
The call to be alert,
And, here and there, a maiden fair
who might be coaxed to flirt.

NEWS FROM MARQUETTE |
The following dope "was received
from Ted Carpenter, of Marquette
University:
Milwaukee, Wis.—Marquette Uni­versity
professors report that a grade
of 100 in an examination is possible,
but extremely rare, whereas a mark
of 104 is absolutely unique.
And yet Donald Craine, captain
and center on the Marquette Golden
avalanche football squad for 1926,
created consternation in Hilltop ath­letic
circles by making a grade of
"104 out of a possible 100" in an
examination on football rules and
their interpretation conducted by
Coach Frank Murray.
It all happened when Line Coach
Freeman Fitzgerald graded the pa­pers.
Seven lengthy questions had
been asked, and Fitzgerald decided
to mark 15 points for each answer,
instead of troubling himself with 14
and a fraction. Seven times 15
makes 105, and Craine's paper was
so nearly perfect that it totaleld a
grade of 104.
Coach Murray is jubilant that his
captain knows so much football.
Cities wanting a baseball world se­ries
played within their metropolis
will please consult Marquette Univer­sity
athletic authorities.
For the third consecutive year, the
Marquette Golden Avalanche foot­ball
team is invading a world series
city, playing St. Louis University at
St. Louis, October 15, probably just
a few days after the close of this
year's contests.
In both 1924 and 1925, the Mar­quette
eleven played the Navy at An­napolis,
while the Washington Am­ericans
were battling for the world's
baseball championship.
>
Prominent Milwaukeeans and Mar­quette
university alumni are in the
midst of an intensive ticket sales
campaign for the home games of the
Marquette Golden Avananche foot­ball
team, and hopes are high that
the campaigners' slogan, "Fill the
Stadium," will be realized.
Results at the end of the first
five days of the drive show that
the almuni teams are well on the
road to success, and the efforts will
be intensified this week that the cam­paign
may go over the top before
the first home game with Grinnell
here next Saturday, October 9.
Marquette has five home games this
fall, and they should be thrillers.
Following the Grinnell battle and a
game with St. Louis University in St.
Louis, October 16, the Blue and Gold
eleven takes on St. Mary's, of Min­nesota
here, October 23. The Ava­lanche
meets Creighton at Omaha, on
October 30, and returns for the local
home-coming, November 6, when the
Kansas Aggies appear here. Auburn
at Birmingham, Ala., November 13,
will be the last out-of-town game, and
then the Hilltoppers meet North Da­kota,
November 20, and the Oregon
Aggies, November 25, both on the
local stadium field.
Alumni are offering season tickets
for the home games for ?7, plus 25
cents for postage. No official drive
is being conducted out in the state,
even in alumni centers, but old grads
know of the campaign and many .of
them are mailing in orders to the
gymnasium. Mayors Daniel Hoan,
of Milwaukee, Del Miller, of West
Allis and A. C. Hanson, of Wanwa-town,
head the citizens' committee in
charge of the drive.
game at Appleton. The collegians
consider the Marquette game the key­stone
of their schedule and they have
concentrated on it throughout their
training period. Coach Murray has
tried to impress his bridders with
the fact that Lawrences veteran team
will be primed to turn back the green­er
Marquette crew, and a close scrap
is predicted.
Marquette's eleven will include a
backfield that should be better and
faster than last year's; material is
abundant, and it is not known who
will get the call for positions. Cen­ter
and guard positions on the line
will be well taken care of, and the
coaches' chief worries are to find an
outstanding pair of tackles and an­other
end. They have combed over
the material on hand time and again,
have shifted men from'the backfield
to the forward wall and have taken
other measures. A dozen youngsters
have been inserted at the tackle posts
and so far no hinf has been given as
to the successful candidates.
Among those from whom Coach
Murray will choose his fullback
against Lawrence are Dick Bader
and Joe Leary, veterans, and Jack
Garrity, a flashy sophomore. Leary
might be started at halfback, while
other halves include Harry Clancy,
Wallie Gebert, Harry Reichert and
Tony Urban, sophomores and Jim
Goggins, Joe Vallier, Tim Moran and
Johnny Kub, from the 1925 squad.
Two sophomores, Bob Crowley and
Rupert O'Keefe, are competing for
the quarterback's job, while Connie
Dunn, a reserve of last year and a
splendid punter, also looks good for
that position.
On the line, Capt. Don Craine un­doubtedly
will get the call at center,
with Eddie O'Neill, Tom O'Malley
and Arch Hamilton also ready to go
in. The Kampine brothers, Cliff and
Len, are lettermen back for the two
guard positions, with George Reich-er's
Clarence Possely, Bill Van Horn,
and George Phillips also rarin' to go.
Jerry Kelly and Clarence Muhlick, a
pair of heavyweights, have been work­ing
over time to get the assignments
at tackle, while Dan Smith and Char-^
lie Klaus are other outstanding can­didates.
Les Gerlach is the only vet­eran
end. Ed Caspati, Frank Novak,
Dave Ronzani, Russ Smith, Wallie
Waschick and Warren Kirkham, all
newcomers, all have a chance for the
wing positions.
A crowd of about 200 Marquette
students, probably including the var­sity
band, will make the trip to Ap­pleton
on a special train. The squad
returns to the Marquette stadium on
Monday to concentrate on the Oct.
9 game with Grinnell here. Other
games are as follows: Oct. 16, St.
Louis University at St. -Louis; Oct.
23, St. Marys College (Minn.) in
Milwaukee; Oct. 30, Creighton Uni­versity
in Omaha; Nov. 6, Kansas
Aggies in Milwaukee; Nov. 13, Au­burn
in Birmingham, Ala.; Nov. 20,
North Dakota in Milwaukee, and Nov.
25, Oregon Aggies in Milwaukee.

Real Rats all Primed
for game with
Marion Saturday
Much hurrying and scurrying was
in evidence in the alumni gymnasium
at Auburn on Thursday night as the
Tiger varsity left their dressing room,
bound for the training tables for the
evening repast. The usual activity
in the Plainsman athletic plant was
"Bunk" Vaughn, efficient student
manager of the Orange and Blue
Tiger, and his three or four agile
student assistants, making ready to
check out for Birmingham where
the Tiger will meet the Howard Bull­dog
in the annual combat of the two
elevens. Twenty-three complete out-
Thc opening game'of Rat football
season will be played on the campus
Saturday with the Marion Cadets as
the guest of the baby tigers. The
Rats have been working hard getting
in shape for this game and we are
sure to see an honest effort put forth
by this scrappy band of cugs that
are on the Plains this fall. They have
fight, the real Auburn spirit, they
are a fine lot of fellows and we will
surely be proud of them when the
game is over regardless of the score.

All these happenings took place
immediately following a brisk work­out
on Drake field of the entire var­sity
squad which will be their last
appearance in uniform until the ref­eree's
whistle starts the fireworks
at Rickwood field Saturday afternoon.
The feature of Thursday's activi­ties
on Drake field was a 20 minute
scrimmage near the close of the day's
work. All the cripples, with the ex­ception
of Scarbrough, guard, and
Densmore, fullback, were shot in the
scrimmage session and positive evi­dence
of every member of the squad
being in the game Saturday was at
every move. Captain Paul Turner,
giant fullback tore into the scrub and
freshman lines like old times, for
good gains, through huge holes made
by Joe Market, "Square Jaw" Salter
and "Bull" Andress who have been
with Captain Turner on the disabled
list.
It is now practically assured that
those fans who give up possession of
the cardboard admittance credentials
at Rickwood field Saturday afternoon
will see this quartet of veterans in

With the opening with Lawrence-college
at Appleton, Wis., now but a
day or two away, the startling line­up
of the Marquette University Gold­en
Avalanche is still problematical,
and Coach Frank J. Murray will not
give out his initial array until just
before the game.
Marquette will have as many as
seven sophomores or 1925 reserves
playing on the varsity team this fall,
and while the two weeks of prelim­inary
training on the island at Lake
Beulah, Wis., and this week's drill in
the stadium brought out much fine
material, some positions are uncer­tain.
The Hilltop team expects a terrific

Toggery Shop to
Give Two Hats
To Auburn Rats
An announcement by the Toggery
Shop that a hat would be given to the
rat that shows up best in the line and
one would be given to the outstand­ing
backfield man, has created quite
a bit of interest. It is an assured
fact that it will stimulate our rats
to really put forth their best efforts
in the game with Marion, because
the price of a hat is not to be spurned
by any Auburn student. This act of
kindness on the part of the Toggery
Shop is appreciated by the students
and meets with their hearty approval.
The judges as to who shall receive
the hats will in all prbability be
the referee and the umpire.
by Sam Burbage, an old Auburn man,
who has been very successful in the
friend Sam continued success, but of
course we will be fighting him as hard
as a tiger can next Saturday.
The time of the game is set for one
o'clock. This early time was set to
enable students who do not make the
Howard game and the towns-people
who will care to attend, get to the
matinee at Langdon Hall at three
o'clock. The game will be over in
time for the matinee and it is hoped
that a large crowd will attend. The
regular admission will be 75 cents
and students 50 cents and a coupon.
There was some delay about bring­ing
the game to the campus because
of the attitude of the student body.
It was only decided to bring it here
after some student organizations and
towns-people urged the officials to do
so. There seems to be an idea around
that everybody should see the Rat
games free. What this idea has for
a foundation no one knows. We must
remember that it is very expensive
to equip such a large number of men
and that it can only be done with the
proceeds from the games. Lack of
proper support will stop the Rat games
here as'it is impossible to bring teams
here unless the students show the
proper spirit and pay their way to
these games and thereby support the
teams. The Rats are a part of our
great tiger machine and deserve the
recorded at Drake field to add to the same enthusiastic support that we
varsity's gains. Snider has been an
objective of the entire liniment corps
for some days but appeared Thursday
as sound as a new hundred cent piece.
Cunningham is another linesman that
give the varsity. It is from Ijere
that our team of the coming years
will have to be developed. Now is
the time for the students to start
their part in the development of next
Auburn Makes
good showing in
Conference Tilt
The football team of Auburn that
so completely smothered the Clemson
team last Saturday is quite a contrast
to the team that usually represents
Auburn. Instead of the straight line
bucking that is so characteristic of
the Tigers, there was an accurate and
well-timed aerial attack varied by end
runs made behind perfect interfer­ence.
Such men as Snyder, Nelson,
Fisher, and Ellis go to make up one
of the speediest backfields in the
south. The problem of who was to
punt for the Plainsman seems to have
been solved in the game with Clem­son
when Pat Moulton displayed to
all present that he could boot the
pigskin for an average of around 55
yards when under fire. Another out­standing
feature about Auburn's re­juvenation
is the vast amount of re­serve
strength on hand. Morey has
at his command at least three men
for each position any one of which
might be called the first string man.
One of the most promising finds of
the season appears in the personage
of "Lefty" Wattwood at right end.
This husky sophomore has shown
ability both on the defense and at
receiving passes.
Auburn has five conference games,
an intersectional game with Mar­quette,
and Howard College yet to
play. The Howard game which is us­ually
considered a practice game for
the Tigers looms up as a tough en­counter
this year, especially after
Howard defeated the Oglethorpe
team that had beaten Georgia Tech
the week before. The Howard af­fair
comes off Saturday.

tion and will be ready to go into the
fight with all they have. There are
some minor injuries that may prevent
some from starting, but they will per­haps
see service. Turner and Al­bright
both have bad Knees, but
should get in before the game is over.
It is expected that there will be many
substitutions as every man will be
given a chance to show his stuff at
some time during the game. Due to
the fact that there are so many out
it is hard to tell just who will be the
starters, but a probable line-up will

Auburn High
beats Notasulga
in Bloody Battle
In a game marred by frequent
squabbling and threatening fights,
the Lee County High School eleven
trounced the Notasulga Greenies 16
to 0. Both touchdowns were scored
by the local team on intercepted
passes, McNeal twice racing across
the goal line for the counters. Tam-plin
annexed the extra point follow­ing
the second touchdown. This lad,
brother of our own Louie Tamplin,
also counted the three other points
by a neatly executed dropkick late
in the second quarter. He had just
completed a beautiful 60 yard dash
around his right end, being forced
out of bounds on the five yeard stripe
when the whistle blew ending the
half. j
The visitors outweighed the Au-burnites
at least fifteen pounds to
the man, several of their number
tipping the scales around the two
hundred pound mark. In the open­ing
plays of the second half the
green clad warriors carried the ball
down to the five yeard line of the
blues by a sustained drive and a
score seemed inevitable. The locals
rallied however and the ball went
over on downs.
Let us say here that they playing
of Tamplin for Lee County was of
the highest calibre. The captain of
the team, he is a real triple threat
man, running hard, passing accurate­ly
and sending his spirals high in
the air with good distance. The two
Richardson boys, McNeal, and Witty
all gave a good account of themselves.
The game was especially interest­ing
to college students as both teams
were coached by old Auburn men,
"Hardboy" Pruitt with Notasulga and
"Pea" Greene, mentor of the Lee
Countians.
Bolton Shotts looked like another
"Clabber" Williams the way he was
booting those placement kicks for
the extra points after the touchdown.
He kicked five placement kicks in the
one game.
A vast array of flanking material
was displayed last Saturday in the
personages of Wattwood, Baskin,
Burns, and the James twins all show­ed
marked ability in covering the
flanking territory.
Long, Howard, and Scarbrough all
showed up like veteran linesmen and
Tielp make up one of the most formid­able
lines in the south. Pruitt, pla-ing
for the first time this season was
seen to break through the Clemson
line several times and throw the op­posing
backs for heavy losses.
Auburn is not yet out from under
the throes of injury as they have such
men as Market, Andress, Salter, and
Captain Turner nursing painful hurts.
It is possible that Salter may be able
to get in the fray against the How­ard
Bulldogs Saturday, but it is
feared that Market will be out for
about two weeks yet.
There will be a Matinee of the
Howard-Auburn game in Langdon
Hall Saturday afternoon and it is
expected that the students therein
will test their yelling ability to such
an extent that it can be heard at
Rickwood.
. We noticed that Howard is intend­ing
to spoon out some of their famous
bitters to the Tigers of the Plains.
Now we don't claim to be the best in
the world on predicting the result of
a football team, but we certainly
would hate to wager anything against
this crew of Tigers who so viciously
clawed the Clemson Tiger into hum­bleness.
It is a known fact that the Howard
Bulldogs have a real star in Billy
Bancroft, but we don't see how this
ambitious youth expects to best
Morey's eleven. "The Atlanta papers
were full of praise for the aforemen­tioned
Bancroft and it should be a
treat to the spectators to see him
match his wits against a heavy team.
The world series has been thorough­ly
enjoyed by the Auburn Student
Body as was evidenced by the large
number that have been congregating
in front of the Student Supply Shop
to listen to the matinee each day. It
seems that St. Louis has been the
favorite among the students, although
Babe Ruth Was given plenty of cheers
for knocking three home runs in the
fourth game of the series.
Junior Chamber
Favors Alabama
Auburn Game
The initial lineup as prepared fol­lowing
practice Thursday afternoon
is Market center; Long, left guard; H.
J. Carter, right guard.; Salter, left
tackle; Andress, right tackle; Watt-wood,
left end; Baskin, right end;
Moulton, quarter; Allen, left half;
Ellis, right half; and Captain Turner,
fullback.
It was a good day last Saturday
for our annual rival Tulane, when
they journeyed out to Missouri and
tied that University team on their
own field. It seems they uncovered
another Flourney in a youth by the
name of Johnny Menville.
Our sister institution University of
Alabama was again on the warpath
last Saturday when they gave the
Vandy team a drubbing on their own
field.
In cooperation with the other ju­nior
chanTber of commerce bodies of
the state, the Montgomery organiza­tion
of .young business men will assist
in the work of gathering information
concerning the true feeling of the
alumni of Alabama and Auburn in
regard to the resumption of athletic
relations.
The decision of the junior chamber
to aid in the task was reached at
their regular bi-monthly luncheon at
the Gay-Teague hotel Monday even­ing.
Approximately 20,000 envelopes of
local concerns have been stamped
with the date of the three football
games to be played at Cramton Bowl
this fall in accordance with the a-dopted
policy of the organization in
advertising the games as much as
possible, Roland Camp announced.
Plans were made for the circulation
of petitions among the alumni of
Auburn and Alabama by the state­wide
organization of the junior cham­ber
of commerce advocating that the
schools resume athletic relations.
Two committees composed of Eu­gene
Carter, president; Roland Camp,
Eugene Loe, and John Goodwyn, were
appointed to solicit contracts for
floor space in the automobile build­ing
at the state fair.
John D. Scott, local attorney, was
elected to membership in the organ­ization,

Howard Bulldogs
on Tiger Menu
Today the Auburn Tigers play the
Howard Bulldogs in Rickwood Field,
Birmingham. This game is scheduled
to be a hotly contested battle
throughout all four periods. Auburn
has won both games so far .this sea­son
and so has Howard. Chattanooga
and Clemson were victims of the.
Tiger while "Marion and Oglethorpe
have fallen before the Howard Bull­dog.
Coach Morey has continued secret
practice all the week and the squad
is in prime condition. "Square Jaw"
Salter, who was out of the Clemson
game on account of lime burns, has
been out to practice this week and is
ready to go in the game if he is need­ed.
Lindsey Scarbrough will be out
of the game on account of a sprained
knee received last Saturday.
Howard has a mighty good back in
the person of Billy Bancroft, but a
football team like a chain cannot be
judged by its strongest link.
Coach Morey feels that we will have
a pretty stiff fight but he does not
doubt a victory. No Auburn coach
and team or no Auburn Student
Body ever gives up, we are in the
game to win.
The probable line-up for Auburn
is: Baskin and Wattwood, ends;
Pruett and Spinks, tackles; Lonj
Howard, guards; Patersori, center;
Moulton, quarter; Allen and Ellis,
halves; and Shotts, fullback.
Chinese adjectives have na degree
of comparison.

DEPARTMENT
ARCHITECTURE
HOLDS MEETING
RULES FOR USE
OF LIBRARY
ARE PUBLISHED
During the R. O. T. C. drill period
every Saturday morning from 11 to
12 o'clock all the faculty connected
with the Department of Architecture
meets with the dean to discuss the
problems of the department. The
primary object of the meetings are
to benefit the students. Each mem­ber
of the architectural faculty
brings up a discussion of the stu­dents
under him, and the problems in
the course which seem hardest to the
student. Grades are brought before
the entire faculty of the department
and discussed. Prof. Biggin hopes to
improve his department continually;
and he has decided upon this method
to bring about a more thorough co-operation
of the faculty members.
These meetings are sub-faculty
meetings, only; and entirely aside
from the regular meetings of the Au­burn
faculty. They are departmental
and for the improvement of the
course in architecture only. This sys­tem
was begun last year and has
been found to be of great use in im­proving
the architectural courses.
Another distinctive feature of the
Department of yArchitecture is
"Smock Day" for the freshman stu­dents.
On that day all freshman stu­dents
in architecture are required to
wear the smocks, which they wear in
classes in architecture, to all their
classes on that day. The smocks this
year will be a bright orange, so bright
that thy will catch the eye of every­one.
On that day the campus will
be fairly dotted with freshmen wear­ing
these smocks, as the class in fresh­man
architecture is large.
It has been the custom in the past
to observe this day in the Architec­tural
Department once a year. Dean
Biggin has not decided upon the date
as yet. Upon the arrival of the
slhocks, however, the date will be set.
So the students need not be sur­prised
to see many of the freshmen
adorned in these bright yellow
smocks on one day in the future.
The bark of the average dog is
worse, than his bite; his bark is us­ually
kept up all night.
There is a word in the English
language the first two letters of
which signify a male, the first three
a female, the first four a great man
and the whole a great woman. The
word is "heroine."

AUBURN FURNITURE CO.
Mary E. Martin, college librarian,
is anxious for every student of Au­burn
to take advantage of all idle
hours by spending them in the college
library which is located just south of
the administration building. All
kind of instructive reading can be
obtained by only calling at the place
of research. '
A library is a collection of books
for study or reading. In the case if
the one located at Auburn, it is a col­lection
for the students of the college.
Several instructors of the college re­quire
the students of their classes to
do extra reading found in the library.
This has caused a number of students
to visit the library who would not
have otherwise1 done so. There are
other students who seldom attend;
therefore they are losing not only
their time but one of the best oppor­tunities
of study they will probably
ever have .
Some rules have been made regard­ing
the use of books and the cofiduct
of students while in the library. These
were passed to save the books which
are for the use of the students, and
not to discourage students from using
the library books. The rules are as
follows:
No smoking in library building.
No loud or boisterous behavior that
will interfere with those who wish to
read or study.
Reference books are not to be tak­en
from the library.
Special reference books become so
at the request of the teachers and are
kept in the library or allowed to go
out overnight as the teacher may de­cree.
They do not go out before 5
P. M. and must be in by 9 A. M.
Circulating books are charged for
two weeks and should be renewed at
end of that time if wanted longer.
On account of disobedience to the
above rules, it has become necessary
to ad minister, the folowing fines if a
student volates them.
A fine of two cqnts a day is
charged for every day overtime.
If a book is lost, the student should
report it at once. The fide will be
stopped at twenty-five cents and the
library will wait* for payment for
three months, giving a chance to find
it.
All library notices are official no­tices
and immediate response is ex­pected.
On books reserved for the use of
special classes, such as junior English
books, the fine will be five cents per
day.
The fine on special reference books
is two cents per hour every hour after
9 A. M.
KIWANIS FAVOR
ALABAMA GAME
WITH AUBURN
The Montgomery Kiwanis club,by
unanimous vote of its members have
endorsed the proposaal to reestablish
Athletic relations between the Univ­ersity
of Alabama and the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. The
Kiwanians also urge that the football
games between the two institutions
be played in Montgomery. A reso­lution
including the two proposals
was introduced by Dr. Geo. Wheeler,
an alumnus of Auburn, and former
football player.
Dr. Wheeler said that at one time
he thought it would be unwise for the
two institutions to resume athletic
relations, but that after giving the
matter further thought and observ­ing
how similiar institutions in other
states were having no difficulty over
the question of athletic rivalry, he
had come to the conclusion that the
time for Auburn and Alabama to re­sume
is now.
In the course of his remarks, Dr.
Wheeler quoted Fred Cramton, father
of Cramton Bowl, as saying that oif
football between these two institut­ions
should be resumed and the games
played in Montgomery, the seating
capacity of • Cramton Bowl can and
will be extended to accomodate be­tween
27,000 and 30,000 spectators.
The resolution was adopted unani­mously
without further discussion.
A few weeks' vacation from the gas
range makes all the difference in the
world-both ways.
EXTENSION MEN
MAKEPLANSFOR
THE STATE FAIR
Officials in charge of the Exten­sive
service of this place are prepar­ing
an enormous display of products
to be exhibited at the State Fair in
Birmingham, October 4-9, according
to official announcement today. The
display will be representative of
every department of the extension
service, which includes work among
farmers, farm women, and farm
boys and girls, touching farm and
farm home life in all of its phases.
The exhibit is being prepared by
specialists and the district agents with
a special committee in charge. J. T.
High is general superintendent and
M. A. Barnes is assistant superin­tendent.
Miss May I. Curton is su­perintendent
and- Miss Elizabeth
Mouldin is assistant superintendent
of the women's exhibit. J. C. Lowery
and Miss Elizabeth Mouldin will have
charge of the exhibits of boys and
girls.
The club boys will show cotton and
corn and the club girls will show
clothing, canned products and other
projects conducted by them.
Professor Duncan explained that
the home demonstration display will
include exhibits in clothing, nutrition
and food preservation with charts and
maps illustrating the growth of this
work sine it began in 1911.
In the clothing booth there will be
a poster with a picture of two women
ori' it, one dressed properly and the
clothes of the other showing poor
taste in selection and make-up. The
women are supposed to be in conver­sation,
and posters on which the ques­tions
and answers of these women will
be printed will be rotated Miss Jose­phine
Eddy, clothing specialist, is pre­paring
this exhibit.
The canning budget idea, as worked
out by Miss Pearl Jones, will be pre­sented
by twelve club girls, showing
the amount and variety of canned
products necessary for one person for
one year.
'An exhibit in nutrition work will be
made by Miss Gertie* Reynolds. Two
dolls will be used. One of these dolls
represents a properly-nourished child^
and the other illustrates the effects of
allowing a child to eat anything it
chooses. Proper and improper diets
for growing children will be shown
on posters.
Animal Exhibits
In addition to the fat steers shown
by the department of animal hus­bandry,
a display will be made by F.
W. Burns, of the proper feed for a
dairy cow for one day. He will show
also the feed that the average cow in
Alabama receives.
In the poultry exhibit a contrast
will be made of the methods of raising
chickens properly and improperly. A
miniature house built according to
an Auburn plan with pure bred
chickens in it will be shown on one
side, and an ordinary h%use with mon­grel
chickens will be srcown on the
other side.
The agricultural engineering de­partment
will present a modern wa­ter
plant and the old method of get­ting
water on farms. An illustration
will be given of proper and improper
sewage disposal.
Otto Brown, extension forester,
will show the effects of erosion on
unforested areas and he will also have
in his exhibit a miniature forest prop­erly
thinned.
Different varieties and types of
apples will be one of the main fea­tures
of the horticultural exhibit. S.
H. Gibbons, extension horticultural-ist,
has prepared 36 boxes, all of
which were grqwn in Alabama.
Spraying outfits and materials will
be included.
Plant diseases and their control
measures will be included in an ex­hibit
prepared by Dr. L. E. Miles.
Special attention will be given to dis­eases
attacking cotton and fruits.
The department of entomology will
display bee equipment and will give
demonstrations in bee culture. Draw­ings
of the cotton hopper and other
harmful insects will be shown. This
exhibit is being prepared by W. A.
Rurfin and Professor J. M. Robinson.
F. W. Gist will present charts show­ing
comparison of crop yields for dif­ferent
years, and other phases of agri­cultural
economics.
Radio will be shown in another ex­hibit.
It will feature Station WAPI
at Auburn.

FIRE THREATENS
HOME OF MRS. C.
E.YARBR0UGH
Mrs. Yarbrough's boarding house
at 128 East Magnolia St. was the
scene of a slight blaze Saturday aft­ernoon
while the Clemson-Auburn
game was in. progress. The fire was
extinguished in short order by the
Fire Department. The kitchen roof
was all that was damaged. It is
thought that defective flues were the
cause of the blaze.
The loss to Mrs. Yarbrough is slight
as all the damaged area is covered
by insurance. The kitchen was re­paired
sufficient for use the next
day, so that the boarders were incon­venienced
only by having to eat sup­per
elsewhere the afternoon of the
fire.

HOME EC CLUB
HASJWEETING
The first meeting of the Home
Enomocics Club was held in the "lob­by"
of Smith Hall Friday afternoon
with a majority of the old members
present and anxiously waiting to wel­come
the many new girls who are to
become members this year.
The most interesting numbers of
the program were talks from Misses
Harris and Thompson with Miss
Thompson speaking first as Miss Har­ris
was called to a special meeting.
In her address, Miss Thompson told
the girls of her trip to the National
association which was held in Anna­polis.
It was at this association that
Miss Harris, the Dean of A. P.' I.
women was elected to the honorable
position of Vice-President of the
National Association.
At the conclusion of Miss Thomp­son's
speech, Miss Harris entered with
her usual smiling face and began her
address by welcoming the Home Eco­nomic
Club members. She told of
her travels in the north, and from
her talk it seemed that she made a
study of wives and husbands. Im­pressions
were left on the girls that
northern women know more about
managing their husbands than south­ern
women, because of the various
jobs which the men were performing

more for the crop than is being
brought.
In his World Court speech, the
senator ridiculed two of his oppo­nents
Borah and Reed, for their oppo­sition
to the World Court. He said
they condemned it without offering
a substitute and simply left us stand­ing
in the middle of the road with­out
telling us where to go. He also
declared that the people who make
millions out of war^have been des-tributing
Borah's-speech against the
World Court throughout the country.
The senator compared the move­ment
to bring about world peace
through an assembly of nations ±o
the efforts to stamp out yellow fever
a few years ago. He said war was
a scourge like yjllow fever and ad­ded
that secret diplomacy and intri­gue
is the hot bed of war, and like
the breeding place of the yellow fever
mosquito, must be ditched off and
flooded with kerosene.
" "The United States," Senator Hef-lin
declared, "is the ony nation of
its own importance sulking in its
tent while the movement for world
peace goes on. We should be there
to do our part in the business of
preventing other wars which the sci­entists
tell us will be far deadlier and
more disastrous than even the recent
World War. We fight for our rights
if need be but the nation should be
on the side of world peace. We
allied ourselves with the European
nations to bring an end to the World
War. Is this not logic that we should
ally ourselves today with these na­tions
in- the effort to prevent war?"
The Senator paid a touching tri­bute
to Woodrow Wilson, creator of
the League of Nations and the World
Court, who, he said, lost his health
and gave his life to keep his promise
to the American boys who defended
the nation in the recent World War.

TO BE DISCUSSED
Although the regional agricultural
meeting in Montgomery will be held
October 11 and 12 as originally
planned, the last day will be devoted
largely to a discussion of cotton ac­cording
to Prof. L. N. Duncan who
has accepted an invitation to preside
at the meeting. W. F. Black, secre­tary
of the Montgomery chamber of
Commerce, conferred with Professor
Duncan on it here Saturday.
Prior to this conference, the Uni­ted
States Chamber of Commerce wh*o ! from
called the meeting, had been urged .trip when applying for the student

UN-EXCUSED GAMES
The executive council of the Col­lege
has agreed to permit the sale
of student tickets for un-excused I
games at the regular price, 50 cents, I
with coupon from athletic book. Stu­dents
under 21 years of age will be
required to submit written permission
their parents authorizing the
meeting on cotton, but since the origi­nal
plan was to devote most of the
day to a thorough discussion of cot-ton
and coton marketing it was point­ed
out that no special change in the
original plan is needed.
Representatives of agriculture and
other business of Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana will
attend the meeting. Clarence Ously,
former assistant secretary of agricul­ture
and at present manager of the
Texas Safe Farming Association, will
arrive in Montgomery in time to take
' part in the cotton discussion, Mr.
Black announced here Saturday.

the day by E. L. Deal, county agent
of Florence, that the bankers of the
Tennessee Valley section of Alabama
will meet Monday for the purpose of
taking some action on the present cot­ton
situation.

$548,000,000, and for 1925 the loss
stands at $570,255,921. Alabama's
part being $7,000,000.
"The total number of lives for
1925 was 14,000, and 16,000 were
injured. Altho there were no lives
lost h* Auburn, our loss by fire was
far in excess of any other city the
same size in the state;. Most of
this loss could have been prevented,
if fire prevention had been practiced.
"In 1870 the average fire loss per
minute was $19.00, aid today it
shows 1104.00^ftr every minute. For
1925 carelessness handling
matches and cigarettes shows the larg­est
loss, which was $30,381,850. De­fective
chimneys and flues piled up a
loss of $22,746,308. Spontaneous
combustion caused a loss of $17,037,-
454. Sparks on wood shingle roof
showed a loss of $15,052,140. Care­lessness
in handling electricity and
electrical appliances which includes
defective wiring shows a losls of
$14,579,757. This last item shows
that it is very essential that electrical
wiring should be done be experts in
this business.
"There are but a few of the most
important causes of fires and of
which a large number could have been
prevented if fire prevention had been
practiced. *,
"We earnestly ask the cooperation
of the entire city and county to help
in this work and to reduce the fire
losses as much as possible.
"There are several things which
our people could help us do to help
reduce these losses and if you have
not already started your fall clean­ing,
start it at once and be^ sure
that you burn all your trash and
rubbish before it burns you.
"In case of fire ask Central to
ring the fire department and speak
in the usual tone of voice, giving
the name of street, number of house
and between which streets the fire is.
"We snicerely hope that the Citi:
zens of the city and county will help
"FIRE CHIEF" (SIMS) make every
week a Fire Prevention Week."
