The three forty-seven thundered
around the bend and stopped to take
on orders. Sixteen Auburn students
who wore their tickets (their rat
caps)-elimbed on. Toot-todt and the

Deluxe Manifest, Extra-fare Train
was on its way. The students as soon
as the train was in motion collected
on one of the open air-pulknans and
began to make themselves at home.
The -travelers engaged in conversa­tion
and singing as the manifest
pounded the rails. Dark overtook
them- still on their way and constant­ly
clinging on to their seats while
the train went on thru town and city,
never stopping. Just as the trav­elers
were in the highest of spirits the
big Malay compound entered a tun­nel
carrying with it its long line of
open-air pullmans for white people
only. It emerged with colored pe^le

due in Birmingham at nine fifteen.
Nine fifteen found it in JVoodlawn
where its occupants dismounted ever
grateful to the Central of Georgia
which had taken them to another

On Monday, Oct. 31, from 7:00 to 8:30 P. M., the Plainsman staff met
with the Athletic Council in the gym, in order to bring about a thorough
understanding between the two as .regards the recent "Morey question."
The meeting came as a direct result of the publishing in the Plainsman of an
article which seemed to cast reflection on the Athletic Council. This article,
which was freely quoted by the Boston Transcript in an article sympathiz­ing
with Morey, expressed the wish that Morey might receive better coop­eration
in the future than he had received^ at Auburn during his years here.
At this recent meeting, the Athletic Council presented facts which showed
that Morey had received as much cooperation as possible while here.
First, Max Kahn, Sports Editor of*
The Plainsman, was questioned as to
his reasons for publishing the above
mentioned article. Kahn answered
that he had interviewed Morey, and
had received the impression that
Morey had not received full coopera
tion during his regime at Auburn.
While under this impression he had
written said article. When asked if
Morey had given any specific ex
amples of this lact of cooperation,
Kahn replied that Morey had mention
ed the Tuxworth case, saying that )ie
had expected Tuxworth to have been
the main support of the 1927 football
team. A member of the council said
that Morey had formerly stated to
Dr. Dowell that he doubted whether
he would use Tusworth should he re­turn.
The Athletic Council tb*en pointed
out instances in which Morey had re­ceived
splendid cooperation. Morey
had asked for assistant coaches; the
council had granted them. He had
asked for a raise in his and the as­sistant
coaches' salaries; he had got­ten
them. However, in one instance,
the council had disagreed with Morey.
Doubting the advisability of Morey's
proposed tour of the North with the
baseball team of Auburn, they reject­ed
this proposition. But they point­ed,
this could hardly be called lack of
cooperation, but rather merely dif­ferences
of opinions.. __
"I pledged my entire assistance to
Morey when I received my present
position," declared J. V. Brown. "I
said that I would go so far as to black

Dr. Ralph Douglas Doner was born
and reared in. South Dakota, where,
his parents were pioneers in the early
eighties. South Dakota, at this time
was sparsely populated and practic­ally
the only industry was that of
farming. At the age of eight Ralph
started to work herding cattle. When
eleven or twelve he was driving eight
horses abreast, the horses pulling a
gang plow. This was quite a remark­able
accomplishment for a youngster,
and a feat this is rarely seen in this
section of the country.
Dr. Doner received his early educa­tion
under severe handicaps as he
was able to attend school only part
time. In spite of this he managed to
get a fair secondary schooling and
later attended the University of Chi­cago
where he made an excellent re­cord,
and from which school he receiv­ed
his B. S. degree in 1917.
At the outbreak of the recent war
Dr. Doner went into the service as a
radio cadet, he-being much interested
in that sort of thing. At the close
of the war he was employed by an in­ventor
for several months, and while
with him acquired a liking for me­chanics
and inventions. It is interest-continued

" Major Kennedy, head of the R. O

that in the future each Saturday drill
period, if the band is available that
day, will be featured by a review of
some type. These reviews will con­sist
either of drill work, mass calis­thenics
or some other form of military
display. It is hoped that through
these reviews the R..O. T. C. depart­ment
acting as one body each Satur­day
will become a smooth operating
unit. ^
Although not very many Auburn
students were able to attend the Au­burn-
Howard gridiron tilt staged at
Rickwood Park in Birmingham last
week, those who were present were
pleasantly surprised to see a large
number of the show windows of the
leading merchants displaying huge
sections in Auburn and Howards
colors. A contest was on folks. A
prize was offered by The Birming­ham
Junior Chamber of Commerce
for the most popular decorations.
The Nunnally Candy Co. took the
first prize. Their window contained
eleven Auburn men and eleven
Howard men ready for action. Odum
Bowers and White won second prize,
with the Martha Washington Candy
Co. placing thrid. Wilson Clark Shoe
store, Loveman Joseph & Loez, Klotz-mans
Klothes Shoppe and Louis Saks,
clothiers each received Honorable
mention.
The competing firms along with
some of the other merchants'in Bir­mingham
were very nice to the Au­burn
students there. They made
quite a bit of preparation in order to
make us feel at home in their city.

M a k e T a l ks
The Birmingham chapter of the
Auburn alumni association held a
"smoker" on Friday night October
the twenty-eighth at the Southern
club. With an attendance of about
one hundred they discussed with much
interest the problems of Auburn at
present. The alumni decided that the
thing to do was to forget the past and
look forward to a bright future. In
reference to the street gossip they de­cided
that it tended to injure the
school and therefore''resolved to try
in the future to bring'about construc­tive
things rather than destructive
The football results were said to be
disappointing but conditions were, as
seen by them, such that no one could
control them.- In closing they deter­mined
to better conditions athleticly
in the future and to go forward with
a renewed purpose.
T. B. Dreyer, president of the Bir­mingham
chapter presided. Thomas
Bragg, John-Davis, Niel Johnson of
Birmingham, J. V. Brown and Coach
Pitts of Auburn made talks.

The Alabama Polytechnic Library
has received a new book, written by
a prominent Alabamian. The book,
"History 6t the Seventh Division
(regular) A. E. F., was written by
Mr. M. H. Sterne of 260415th Avenue,
South, Birmingham, Alabama.
This book treats in an interesting
way, the deeds of this unit of the'
United States Army in France dur­ing
the World war, and is well worth
reading. Mr. Sterne gave this copy
of his book to the Library, an act
for which we are very appreciative.

On Wednesday evening October 19,
Beta Kappa freshman entertained
freshmen from other fraternities on
the eampus. The reception hall and
sitting room were decorated with
palms and cut flowers, purple and
gold dahlias being used to bring the
fraternity colors into the scheme of
decoration.
After some time spent in "getting

Zebulon Judd, Dean of the School
of Education and of the Summer ses­sion
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
has recently received honor-ablemention
in the press of the State.
Some weeks ago the Birmingham Age-
Herald printed his picture and car­ried
an item concerning Dean Judd
as an Alabama Educator who has
been chosen a member of Who's Who
in America. More recently the same
paper published a -news item (with
ct*) in connection with Dean Judd's
reappointment as a member of the Na­tional
Legislative Commission. Ap­pointed
by the president of the Na­tional
Educational Commission. The
Commission has for its immediate
task the familiarization of the voters
of the nation with the provisions of
the Curtis-Reed bill now pending in
Congress.
Curtis-Reed Bill
The Curtis-Reed Bill provides for
the establishment of a Department
of Education to be administered by a
Secretary of Education with a status
similar to that of other secretaries
in the Presidents Cabinet. The De­partment
of Education wil collect sta­tistics
and facts to show the condition
and progress of Education in the sev­eral
States and in foreign countries.
It will conduct research in order to
aid the several states in establishing
and maintaining more efficient school
systems. Provision is made for an
annual appropriation of $1,500,000
to enable the Department to carry
out the provisions of the Curtis-Reed
Bill.
Why New Education Bills Should Be
Passed
The establishment of a Department
of Education is in line with the his­torical
development of the American
system of government. It leaves the
control of education to the states. It
continues a policy accepted from the'
beginning and continued throughout
the nation's history—that the Nation­al
government should not control edu­cation,
but should assist the states
in its promotion. The establishment
of a Department of Education would
offer to education a needed service
similar to that already provided to
other major national interests by the
Departments of Agriculture, Com­merce,
and Labor.

By Many-
Mr. A. J. Elliot, of Chicago, a sup
porter of student Y. M. C. A. work
throughout nine of the middle west­ern
states and who is now making a
tour of the south visiting colleges, is
a firm believer in a moral victory
rather than a materialistic reward.
"The victory does not result from
the score made in a footbaA game,
but victory is obtained morally," de­clared
Mr. Elliot, commonly known
as "Dad" Elliott. He continued, "A
team may leave the field in defeat
of scoring but if the players have
played the game fairly and put into
it what they are capable of doing they
have won a moral victory. That is
what counts in life, the moral vic­tory?"
-
"We can meet any situation in life
if we look to the right as our goal.
There ere these qualities- existing,
ever at war with each other: purity-impurity,
love-hate, honesty-dishon-estyr
tolerance-intolerance, doubt-faith,
fear-courage. If we cling to
the call of the right, that is, purity,
love, honesty, tolerance, faith and
courage, the others will inevitably
fall.. The victory may seem evident
but a moral accomplishment has been
attained. This is what counts. Jesus
never reaped any material rewards.
His -victories were spiritual and
glorious."
"The belief that meeting an every
day problem requires human rigid
steps rather than dealing with it as
Jesus would, is a falsity. If a man
meets a problem with love, purity,
tolerance, honesty and courage he does
not lack personality. Sometimes this
human phrase called "standing up for
one's rights" is not a righteous in-

FACULTY MEMBERS
DEAN GEORGE PETRIE
For Auburn's 1928 football coach, we \ nominate Dean George
Petrie. Dean Petrie has the unique distinction of being Auburn's
first football coach. Not only that, but his team went through a
very successful season, due to the star playing of none other than
our own Bennet Battle Ross. Petrie's most successful plays were the
ones that he took from history. A duplicate of Robert E. Lee's
formation at the Battle of Chancellorsville proved very effective,
while a trick play taken from Washington's capture of Yorktpwn
baffled the best of opponents.
Dean Petrie also has the distinction of being Auburn's most faithful
son, having spent two-thirds of his life at this institution. Another
Auburn record that is hard to beat. Petrie has been teaching history
for such a long time that he admits himself that he thinks in terms
of history. While trying his hand at writing, he once attempted the
composition of a romance but, alas, it turned out to be an historical
novel.
Dean Petrie is t h e Freshman's first love. , The humorous remarks
that he has given them in history class and convocation have reserved;
him a place in the heart of every rat. The co-eds are also one of
bis big weaknesses. In speaking of his regard for them he once said,
"I don't know why, I'm just built that way."
Petrie is one of the main exhibits in Who's Zoo in America. It
has never been determined how he got in although several people
have been blamed with leaving the gate open.
» In all his lectures, Petrie has been an ardent supporter of the fallen
Confederacy. To such an extent that in his latest history book pub­lished,
the South won the Civil War.
Due to his lack of hair, he is a shining light among our faculty.
The first of the union meetings of
the Young Peoples religious organiza­tions,
for the 1927-28 college year,
was held in the main auditorium of
the Methodist church, Sunday even
ing, at six-thirty.
The religious meetings committee
of the student Y. M. C. A. sponsors
and arranges for these meetings.
There will be three such meetings
this year, with one coming on each
of the fifth Sundays during that time.
The McLeod Epworth League had
charge of the program that was. pre-presented,
with F. S. Arant leading.
Miss Margaret McNeal explained
"How to Know the Will .of God." F.
E. Bertram discussed "Winning
Others to Christ." Sam Mosley gave
many interesting points about "Dad"
Elliot, the nationally known Y. M.
C. A. speaker who was on the campus
with us for three days this week.
The B. Y. P. U. was responsible

"Let's Go" Is Topic of Much Campus
Conversation
The Auburn band is not only gain­ing
popularity for it's fine music; but
also for the show that it is now get­ting

near future. The most outstanding
thing about this show, which has the
title "Let's Go," i s that all the humor,
sets, and acts are new and original.
The dances, which will be directed
by Miss Lilian Gist, local dancing in­structor
and recently from New York,
wil be only one of the main attrac­tions.
A special act by Louis M.
Bayne and Co. with a new terpsi-chorean
interpretation of the tap
dance will be among the main attrac­tions.
The show is the topic of much
campus conversation and all are look­ing
forward to it's completion. .,

Auburn has been the subject of much
comemnt recently because of the resigna­tion
of David B. Morey as head coach and
director of athletics. Many untrue stater
ments have been issued to the press by the
former coach which have been a grave in­justice
to the athletic committee and others,
The athletic committe is J. V. Brown,
chairman, Dean Funchess, Dr. McAdory,
Dr. Thomas, M. T. Fullan and Professor
Hare. Meetings of the council are open.
Anyone desiring further information may
inquire of the above.
In the issue of October 22 the Boston
Transcript, the most conservative paper in
New England published an interview with
Mr. Morey. The article follows^
MOREY, BACK FROM '
SOUTH, TELLS WHY
HE LEFT AUBURN
Former Middlebury Coach, Worn to
a Frazzle, Glad to Escape
Alabama Bickerings
HIS POSITION UNDERMINED
Students Astonished at His Act—A
"Damn Yankee," but Not a
"Yes Man"
By George C. Carens
Simultaneously with the arrival of the
Dartmouth football team from Hanover
yesterday came David B. Morey, former
star athlete of Dartmouth, but he came
from a different point of the compass. The
former Middelbury College coach, whose
little Vermont team tied Harvard a few
years ago, landed here after a motor trip
from Auburn, Ala., following some harrow­ing
experiences at Alabama Polytech, better
known as "Auburn."
Recent press dispatches from the South
stated that Morey had resigned as athletic
director and head coach of football and
baseball, because he considered himself a
"hindrance" to his boys. So when the
writer learned that Auburn's ^King David"
had come to town, he eagerly sought an ex­planation
of the incidents that led to
Morey's surprising act.
Morey went to Auburn in the fall of
1925. During his regime there his football
teams won eleven of iheir seventeen games,
tieing Georgia Tech and beating such worth­while
opponents as Vanderbilt, Tulane and
Sewanee. His baseball teams were also
successful, falling one game short of the
Southern Conference title in 1926 and win^.
ning that honor the past spring, with
twenty-four victories, four defeats and one
tie. What could have happened to cause
Morey to give up a post where he seemed
to be doing so well?
Lost 22 Pounds
Morey's 'physical 'appearance gave no
inkling of his harrowing experiences, bu
the truth of the matter was that he had
dropped from 171 to 149 pounds during the
early weeks of the present football season.
But the northern atmosphere already is
proving beneficial.
"The difficulties traced to the president
of the college, Dr. Spright Dowell," Morey
remarked, launching into the subject. "The
truth of the matter is that politics plays too
big a part in the academic situation down
there.
"I have spent more time during my
years at Auburn in striving to quell
uprisings of the student's against the
powers-that-be than I have in coach-ing.
And the situation became so tense
this year that it was absolutely nerve-wracking.
"I was called into, conference by Dr.
Dowell. I refused to be browbeaten. I
fought for certain principles and I re­fused
to became a 'yes man' for- the Au­burn
president. -
"There was insubordination and double-crossing
among my assistant coaches—two
graduates of the college. There was evi­dent
dissatisfaction that a 'damn Yankee'
had been brought- in to coach at Auburn.
Some of the townspeople there don't know
the Civil War is over. ' And there was
jealously that I was receiving a salary of
$7000 a year.
"Team Sorrow-Stricken"—Plainsman
"But I'll never forget the loyalty ana
fine spirit of the Auburn boys whom I
coached. Look at this copy of 'The Plains­man.'
This is the college paper."
The writer took the paper and read the
headlines. In 60-point type I read: "Coach
David Morey Tenders Resignation Effec­tive
Today." It was a seven-column head,
and the banks were as follows: Announce­ment-
comes like bomb-shell at mass meet­ing.
. . . Students, team dumfounded at
his action. . . . Team sorrow-stricken."
The story about Morey's "bombshell"
stated that "this stunning news left the
students with little enthusiasm for the mass
meeting."
Morey declined to discuss the situa­tion
while still in the South, for fear
that his words might be garbled. But
back home, where "Damn Yankees"
are more than tolerated, the old Maid­en
High and Dartmouth star, all-Amer­ica
halfback, star pitcher and for five
years Middelbury's one-man coach, was
willing to unburden himself.
He has spent fourteen years as a coach
and probably will get back into the profes­sion
in the North. There will be many
openings for him before the fall, but he will
avoid places where politics enter. Morey
does not regret his decision to go to the
South, because the years there were of
great assistance in enabling Mrs. Morey to
regain her health.
Students Pay Homage
One of the prized possessions of Morey,
who was known throughout the South as
Auburn's "King David," is an editorial,
signed by "The Students," which appeared
under his picture in "The Plainsman." It
is such an unusual bit of college news­paper
work, so clearly from the heart, that
it is reproduced, in full, as follows:
Three years ago a man, unknown
except as a football coach, came to
Auburn from the Northeast. After
the first few years' experience and
companionship with the man, we have
learned that coaching is only one of
his many fine trades. Without a doubt
"King David" Morey is one of the
whitest, cleanest and loyal of men!
Under the impression that he was
hindering the progress of Auburn, he
resigned his post for the good of dear
old Auburn. Morey was then giving
up his bread and butter; he was being
paid on a par with out president.
Fellows, we have lost our best
friend! Despite the fact that he has
resigned, he has offered his services
until someone is procured to assume his
former position. That is only a small
part of the sacrifice. There are many
of our present football players remain­ing
only because he asked them not to
follow him; and to cap the climax two
other coaches remained only because
he told them they owed their services
to Auburn.
That gentlemen, is the breed of the
man about to bid us adieu! Can we
easily lose such a man? Can we find
another like him, to take his place?
Coach Morey, on behalf of the entire
student body, we wish you the best of
luckTn future years. May you always
obtain better co-operation in future
years than you have in the past! Try
to remember us as friends only; as we
do you and your dear wife. Our last
wish is a simple one—that everyone in
this college were as true as you and
had the guts you do! THE STUDENTS
The athletic committee are desirous of
clearing themselves with reference to the
charges made by former coach Morey. In
personal conferences and joint meetings
with the Plainsman representatives the
committee explained the situation and
charged members of the staff with giving
expression to sentiments through the pages
of this paper which were unfair. Since
these charges were made a Searching
investigation has been conducted of
the minutes of the athletic council meet­ings
for a considerable period. These have
proven vastly inadequate because of the
fact that important details of phases of
the questions were not to be found in the
records. A letter from the former direc­tor
of athletics was found which was writ­ten
during his tour of the east. In this
it was stated that arrangements had been
made with many of the leading easern in­stitutions
for games during the summer
with the Auburn baseball team. He asked
the approval of the committee on the ques­tion
and asked permission to take the team
east during the summer. The reply had
been attached to this but was gone. In the
minutes for the council meeting for Sept.
22, 1926 we read: "Coach Moreyvinquired
why the' council refused to send baseball
team on trip after college closed last year."
There is no record in the minutes as to an­swer
he was given, however, members ex­plained
to the staff that refusal was be­cause
of lack of funds owing to the fact
that during the previous season about six
thousand dollars was lost on athletics.
The article published in the Plainsman
expressed the opinion of a large number of
students at the time it was written and
still expresses the views of a large number
according to an investigation conducted by
the staff of a number of representative
persons who have had close contact with
the former Tiger coach SHit who are thus
in a {position to know some facts. They
deny full cooperation on the part of the
committee. The athletic committee stated
that Morey was inclined to interpret a
disagreement as lack of cooperation. They
further stated that "we stuck by him until
we could stand no longer" and "we gave
him so much rope that he hung himself."
Only in those instances other than the re­quest
to tour with the baseball team were
requests refused because they did not con­form
to conference rulings.
We were told that the head coach asked
for an assistant which was granted. He
requested that his salary and that of his as­sistants
be raised. This was passed and
approved by the council. The things re­fused
were: request to handle athletic
funds and a request that he as head coach
and .director of athletics be made chairman
of the athletic committee. This is in op­position
to conference rules which specific­ally
state that such must be in faculty con­trol.
Dr. Dowell stated that their relations were
few but always cordial. The president de­clared
that the statement made by Morey
as to being brow beaten and an attempt
to have him as a "yes man" were untrue.
He told of a straight talk thatne had had
with "King David" several months ago
when he spoke regarding antagonizing con­ference
officials and coaches. This latter
point is probably the one that the former
grid coach referred to when he declared
that he would not be dictated to.
There are three viewpoints: that of the
former coach, that of the committee, and
those statements made by representative
persons. The statements and names of the
latter have been withheld by request. We
have spoken as authoratively as possible
and have endeavored to find the truth. We
have included no personal views but rather
leave the reader to weight the facts and
form his own conclusions.
USE OF THE LIBRARY
Why is it that there are a number of
Auburn students who do not ever go into
the library and use it? This may seem like
a foolish question, but it is one that should
be answered in such a way as would ex­plain
-this weakness in our college work.
One might say that it is not a weakness,
but as this writer sees it, it constitutes one
'of the greatest inconsistences in this col­lege's
work.
Every year, a number of seniors go out
from this institution without ever having
taken a book from the library for so much
as a day. This statement can be proven by
the records in the library. There are
juniors and seniors here now, who have
never visited the library to see what it
had in it. Almost every day some upper-classman
comes and wants a book which
he doesn't even know how to look up in the
catalogue.
We often wonder why some people ever
come to college. It sems that the primary
purpose in coming to colege would be to
broaden one's outlook upon life, by wider
iearning. There is iiosbetter place in this
institution to spend hours of leisure time
in a profitable manner than by learning
something about our library. In looking
over the shelves of books one finds many
interesting volumes which oije had never
though of before. Naturally one's curio­sity
is aroused, and the first thing one
knows he is reading for the pleasure, in it.
In this way he is almost unconsciously
broadening his education.
There are over forty thousand volumes
in the library, many of which are very valu­able
in content as well as monetary worth.
It seems that all students who graduate
from this institution, should at least know
the main principles in the organization of
the library, and how to use it when neces­sary.
Let's all use the library more. It
is entertaining, as well as educational, and
could efficiently replace many True Story
Magazines and "Bull Sessions."

TWILIGHT SLEEP
By Edith Wharton
D. Appleton and Company
Mrs. Wharton, nee Edith Newbold Jones,
was born in New York in 1862. i She has
traveled widely and has written a great
deal of fiction and a little poetry. In style
she seems to be a disciple of Henry James.
Her works always show a clear cut chisel­ing
and an excellent finish . Most of her
best novels deal with the exclusive circles
of society, and her characters are aristo­crats
of ohe type or another. Indeed, her
chief contribution thus far to fiction seems
to be a new presentation of the fashionable
world of New York to the American
masses. Many of her best books feature
this world. Among these is her most popu­lar
work, The House of Mirth, written in
1906. Others from the same group are The
Custom of the Country and The Age of In­nocence.
She has, however, featured other
communities and social groups: provincial
New England in Ethan Frome and The
Fruit of the Trees; eighteenth century
Italy in The Valley of Decision; modern
France in Madama de Treymes and The
Reef. Most critics consider Ethan Frame
her masterjjiece. Mrs. Wharton's stories
always have merit, and her literary prestige
is now- so considerable that all well inform­ed
readers of fiction display immediate in­terest
when they see notices that she has
a new book.
In Twilight Sleep our authoress has re- -
sumed her New York studies. The title
was, no doubt to intrigue the curiosity of
the public, but, nevertheless, it is quite in­dicative.
The book is a study of ennui; the
ennui which is a product of life as it is
lived in our age of jazz when those who live
it have received their early training under
a system whose conventions instilled into
them a very contrary code of ethics from
that advocated b*y the ultra-moderns. The
closing lines of the book find Nona, the
heroine, saying that she wishes she could
go into a convent and have done with it.
In response to the exclamations of horror
that break from her Protestant mother she
says, "Oh, but I mean a convent where no­body
believes in anything." (
The chief chaacters are Mrs. Manford;
Mr. Manford, Nona, Mrs. Manford's daugh­ter
by her second marriage; Wyant, Mrs.
Manford's first husband; Jim, Mrs. Man-ford's
son by her first husband; Liia; Jim's
wife. Mrs. Manford, although not the
heroine, is the most outstanding character
of the book. In delineating her Mrs.
Wharton has exhibited a little of that sa­tire
which has been creeping into her work
of late years. Mrs. Manford is an aristo­crat
by virtue of blood. Her progenitors
had mined in Pennsylvania and made bicy­cles
at Exploit, and their name is given to
one of the most popular automobiles in the
United States. When exhorting her son
Jim, who in his early years was a trifle
lazy, she never failed to remark that her
father's father came over from Scotland
with two sixpences in his pocket. She is
busy, "efficient, Protestant, gulible, and in­consistent.
Her motto is: "There's a time
for everything." She does not see her
children before lunch. Her time and work
for a morning might be scheduled in this
fashion: "7:30 Mental uplift. 7:45 Break­fast.
8:00 Psycho-analysis. 8^:15. See
cook. 8:30 Silent meditation. 8:45 Facial
massage'. 9:00 Man with Persian minia­tures.
9:1.5 Correspondence. 9:30 Mani­cure.
9:45 Eurythmic exercises. 10:00
Hairwave. 10:15 Sit for bust. 10:30 Re­ceive
Mothers' Day deputation. 11:00
Dancing lessons. 11:30 Birth Control com­mittee
at Mrs. " A thorough Protes­tant,
she gives receptions to Roman Catho­lic
cardinals; she is a devotee to all sorts
of mental healers; she is chairman of the
Mothers' Day Association and a speaker at
the Birth C<~ vol banquet. She neves
senses her own inconsistency.
Mr. Manford is a typical American law­yer
of the ablest type. Nona, who is the
heroine of the story, is a pathetic victim
of ifie society to which she belongs and the
conventions in which she has been trained.
Wyant is a .thorough product of the latter
part of the Victorian age. He cannot
understand the jazz age, and, in despair,
he drinks his life away. Jim, his easy-going
son, marries andL tries to do his duty by
society and the woman he married but fails
because he has not chosen wisely in picking
a wife. Lita, Jim's wife, is a thorough in­dividualist
and a perfect product of the
jazz age. She is selfishness distilled into
its quintessence. She cannot, however, be
anything else. She is merely a product of
her training.
This is a book of victims. A social study
is very frequently a book of victims.
Whether or not the victims in this work are
going to prove palatable to the reading
public is a matter for the future to decide.
I fear that those who read the novel ten
years from now are going to do so only be­cause
it happens to be one of Mrs. Whar­ton's
novels. It wil be remembered in con­sequence
of the fact that she is its author.
Don't you know me father? I'm_ Reuben
whom you sent away to college.

FARM SURVEY REVEALS BASIS
OF MASTER FARMER'S SUCCESS
A survey of the 10 farms owned
and operated by Alabama's 10 "mas­ter
farmers" made by the extension
service at Auburn, reveals that each
has practiced the type of farming
best suited to his conditions.
For example, Emil Graf, Mobile
County's master farmer, is a dairy­man
and a trucker, these two types
of farming having natural advantages
in his section.
John R. Witt, of Belle Mina, Lime-tone
County, which borders the state
of Tennessee, is a cotton and live­stock
farmer. Cotton is his principal
cash crop, and he balances his opera­tions
with livestock, for which he has
pasturage and raises feed.
The same is true of B. H. Lightfoot
who lives near Troy, in Southeastern
Alabama. Cotton is his chief crop.
In Western Alabama, R. E. Lam­bert,
of Darlington, Wilcox County,
resorts to cover crops and livestock.
Legumes have been his hobby and he
has experienced success in this line.
Six of the master farmers own nine
farm trucks and the 10 have 13 auto­mobiles.
Mr. Graf owns three auto­mobiles
and three tractors. Twelve
tractors are owned by nine Of those
selected.
Seven silos are owned by four of
the farmers and L. C. Young, master
farmer of Montgomery County, is said
to have the tallest silo in the South.
Hydroelectric power furnishes cur­rent
for three farms and six others
have light plants. Four have radio
receiving sets; seven have sewerage
disposal-plants; two have electric re­frigerators;
five have electric irons,
and three have electric ranges.
The average livestock on the farms
as follows: Thirty-three dairy cows,
14 mules and horses, two purebred
sows, six brood sows, six sheep and
30 head of cattle.
The average size of the farms is
782 acres with the average acreage of
507 acres under cultivation with an
average value of $77.80 per acre.
Average total value per farm is $6,-
228, with the homes valued at $6,-
$2,948 on each and~th§ average value
of all livestock is $6,060, and poultry,
$2,232.
From an annual gross income of
$23,635, the farmers average a net
income of $7,159.
NEW FRATERNITY
INSTALLED HERE
A new fraternity was added to the
list of the fraternities at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute Monday night,
when the Delta chapter of the Alpha
Phi Omega fraternity was installed
with fitting ceremonies. These in­stallation
ceremonies were conducted
by Col. Millard,Wescott, scout exe­cutive
of Montgomery, representing
the national supreme council of the
fraternity.
The Alpha Phi Omega fratenity is
a national organization both honorary
and professional in its scope. While
it is a secret honorary Greek letter
fraternity, its chief purposes are to
assemble those who have had experi­ence
and training under the scout
oajh and law of the Boy Scouts of
America. Also to revive again the
spirit of these two and to develop
friendships, to encourage service and
to better enable its members to be­come
leaders of America's youth
through character building, citizen
ship, college spirit and manly
strength.
The supreme council of the frater­nity
says Colonel Wescott plans to
install 'only four chapters a year
throughout the country, and the new
Delta chapter at Auburn is much
gratified on having been accepted.
It is the aim of the national organi­zation
to keep the fraternity up to
a high standard and to -seek quality
rather than puantity.
At the final meeting of the Delta
chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega
fratenity the following were installed
as charter members: H. L. Brown
Lee, Jr., Paul Brake, W. Clayton Wel-den,
T. E. Kipp, Frank Lull, M. D.
Student Secretary of
Y.W.C.A. Pays Visit
to Auburn Campus
Miss Katherine Butler, national Y.
W. C. A. student secretary has been
making a visit to the Auburn campus
the last few days. Miss Butler came
as representative of the * national
council, and has spent most' of the
time here in meeting with the mem­bers
of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and
other members of the association.
An opening meeting of the Y. W. C
A. was held Wednesday afternoon in
which Miss Butler made a talk "show­ing
the relation between the national
organization and the local branch.
She gave an account of the--primary
functions of the World Student Chris­tian
Federation, the International
Student Service and other student
movement. This type of under­standing
hasn't been very much on the
Auburn campus, as there -are only a
few students realizing their connecr
tion with the other student bodies
over the world.. .
Miss Butler discussed • many other
important phases of Y. W. C. A. with
the workers here. Her visit was of
much value to the students: / and
great deal was accomplished.

his shoes if that would make for a

Other council members said that
Brown's predecessor had pursued a
like policy..
Ludwig Smith, News Editor of The
Plainsman, asked if Morey's resigna­tion
had been wanted by the council.
Without hesitation the council ans­wered^
"Yes!" Rosser Alston, Edi­tor
of the Plainsman asked why, if
such was the feeling, did the coun­cil
"not ask Dr. Dowell to demand
Morey's resignation. The reply was
that Morey had a contract which Dr.
Dowell was reluctant to break, even
though the council desired it. It was
said that Dr. Dowell implied that
there was not enough evidence to an­nul
Morey's contract.
Members of the Athletic Council
said that, whenever the council disa­greed
with Morey, he declared that
they were failing to cooperate. Morey
at one time demanded that he be made
executive of the Athletic Council.
This was in direct violation of the
code of the Southern Conference,
and, of course, the council could not
grant it. Morey, it was said, called
this lack of cooperation.
J. B. McMillan, Managing Editor,
then asked J. V. Brown if he thought
the sports editor was wrong in pub­lishing
in The Plainsman the article
previously mentioned. ] Mr. Brqwn,
instead of answering directly, asked
Max Kahn if he did not think that
he should "have interviewed Hhe Ath­letic
Council before writing such an
article. Kahn said that, on later
consideration, he realized that such
would have been the proper course to
pursue; but at the time, he had not
thought that he had the privilage of
consulting the council.
Another instance of Morey's un­usual
demands was given by the mem­bers
of the council. ", Morey asked
that, during the first semester, % of
the Rats should be compelled to eat
in the school mes»-hall, and in the
second semester the remaining half
of the Freshman Class should be
forced to do likewise. He gave as his
reason for this the fact that he wished
his football boys to be allowed to serve
the tables thus supplied in-order that
they might work their way through'
college. In the first place, the coun­cil
feared that the Southern Confer­ence
might object to this plan; and in
the second, the council thought that
this plan would be very inconvenient
to the Rats living far away from the
mess-hall. As a result, this wish of
Morey's was not granted. The mem­bers
of the council emphasized the
fact that they did not think that such
an incident as the above showed lack
of cooperation on the part of the
Athletic Council.
It was decided that, in order to
avoid misunderstandings in the fu­ture,
the Athletic Council would hold
an open meeting monthly. Any stu­dent
may at this time appear before
the council, and present any plans,
which he thinks will improve condi­tions
at Auburn.
At the suggestion of Rosser Alston
the meeting then adjourned.
Every county in Alabama will re­ceive
$200,000 for school buildings and
the County and City Boards of Edu­cation
will determine how the fund
shall be distributed. This assurance
has been given by the State Board
of Education in formal resolutions
adopted here.
Opponents of the bond issue had
made the charge that there was no
assurance that the money would go
to the counties for \use in construct­ing
public school buildings, and that
if the money should be made avail­able,
the counties affected would have
no right to say how .it should be
distributed. The State Board of Edu­cation
then adopted the following
resolution:
"Be it resolved that it is the sense
of the State Board of Education and
will be its policy to see .that of the
proposed $2,000,000 bond issue that
i
each county receive $200,000 and that
the hoards of education of said coun­ties
and cities shall determine the dis­tribution
of said funds as is provid­ed
by law."-
The board decided that the annual
salary of teachers in„. elementary
schools for seven month's service
shall be $600, and that the annual
salary of teachers in high .schools for
nine months service shall be $1,125.
The board reached these figures by
determining the average salary which
has been paid in the state in the past.
Many schools have paid less than the
salary fixed by the board, but in the
future no school salary will be less
than the amount designated as the
minimum by the State Board of Edu­cation.
Any school district has the
right, however, to supplement this
salary with local funds.
Apportionment of the equalization
fund of $1,000,000 provided by the
Legislature wil be made by the De­partment
of Education when reports
are received from the counties. The
law making the appropriation pre-scibes
the methods to be used in the
apportionment. The Legislaturejast
Summer made an equalization appro­priation
of $100,000, which has been
known as the revolving fund.
The attendance fund of $850,000
provided by the educational appropria­tion
bill wil be disbursed in accord­ance
with the aggregate attendance
in the public schools of the. various
counties' and cities. Each school par-gram
and health service.
Journalistic Work
Takes High Rank as
Educational Subject
That high school newspapers are
coming to be regarded as an import­ant'
educational activity for students
is shown by the fact that a high
school newspaper committee has been
appointed by the Alabama Associa-ticipating
in the attendance fund will
be'required to have an attendance pro-4-pointed to effect the organization and
tion of English Teachers for the pur­pose
of encouraging journalisitc
writing among high school students,
it was announced Tuesday by Prof
J. R. Rutland, of Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, president of the associa­tion.
Miss Lucile Rhodes, of LaFay-ette
High School, and formerly of
Dothan High School, is chairman of
the press committee''.
School authorities recognize that
the school paper is an active agent for
wholesome publicity as well. as for
stimulation of interest in writing
among students. It is to this end that
the press committee, composed prin­cipally
of faculty advisers for school

act as a clearing house for plans and
suggestions. Prizes will probably be
awarded the best school papers pub­lished
during the present year. The
competing papers will be judged in
all desirable points of high school
publications. In addition to this con­test
there will be individual contests
in writing of news items, advertise­ments
and editorials.
For the sake of fairness in this first
contest, all monthly papers will be
classed separately as will those of
large city schools and papers from
schools in small towsn and rural dis­tricts.
At the next meeting of the
Alabama Educational Association, an
exhibit of journalistic work done in
high schools in the state will be ar­ranged.

SPORTS i Tigers Off to Tulane for Annual Fray
Auburn and Howard Tie 9-9 in
Grimly Fought Gridiron Battle
Tigers Tally First on Forward Pass and Howard
Even Count Same Way
Auburn and Howard battled away
last Saturday afternoon, but neither
Tiger nor Bulldog could emerge vic­torious.
Howard all but won, but a
bold chance taken by Auburn turned
impending defeat for the Plainsman
into a tie, 9 to 9, just a few seconds
before the final whistle.
Time was flying by and Howard
was apparently a winner by the scant
margin of nine points to six when
the events hinted at above came to
pass. Auburn, failing to make head­way,
kicked from within her own
territory. Crawford put his toe
healthily under the ball and it sailed
some 40-odd yards before being
caught by Bancroft. The Howard
leader fumbled, but recovered on his
own 15-yard line. Haris chimed in
with the same stunt on the succeed­ing
play and recovered for a 10-yard
The ball was still in Howard's pos­session,
but the Bulldogs were back­ed
up to their own wall. With the
end of the game only a matter of
seconds away, Bancroft dropped back
to punt. His effort was pretty much
of a fizzle, and the ball went hurtl­ing
upward and, veering to the right,
fel out of bounds as it crossed the
Howard 9-yard line. The ball was
brought in bounds fifteen yards, and
the Tigers took it. With less than a
minute to play, Crawford dropped
back to try for a goal from place­ment.
With Luke Ward holding the
oval, Crawford sent it soaring clean­ly
between the uprights from the dif­ficult
angle at which the ball lay. The
teams lined up and Auburn kicked off
to the Bulldogs, but the game had
virtually been over at the time of the
Auburn score. Two seconds, as a
matter of fact, was the time left.
Auburn caught Howard off their
guard in the first five minutes of
play and scored on a cleverly executed
forward pass from Hodges to Craw­ford.
Nappie Hodges was running
the Auburn team as the game started
and he got busy in double quick time
to direct one of Auburn's most re­lentless
offensive drives of the sea­son.
Carrying the ball often himself,
Hodges brought the ball to the
Hpward 23-yard line with two first
downs in a row, these coming after
the initial kickoff. Then, from the
23 yard-stripe, the southpaw shot the
ball unerringly into the arms of Craw
- ford, who ran 15 yards for a touch
down. Ingram failed at the try for
the extra point, Suddeth blocking the
effort.
Auburn's next assault on the
Howard goal was halted by a 15 yard
penalty for holding. The Tigers had
put the ball well past midfield into
enemy territory by a first down.
Bancroft received Crawford's kick
and ran it back to the Howard 32-
yard line. At this point Harris threw
a scare into Auburn, when he took
the ball and tracked it down the field
for .43 yards. Sellers tackeld him
after Crawford had slowed him up.
The ball was on Auburn's 35-yard
linei but the threat died when; Sellers
intercepted a pass from Bancroft
after Howard had lost ten yards in
two tries.
Shortly after the beginning of the
second quarter Hodges was the ring­leader
in a drive that netted three"
first downs and put thp ball within
the Howard 10-yard line, where it
was lost to the Bulldogs when Sellers
fumbled and Suddeth recovered on his
own 5-yard line. In the march,
Hodges took a pass from Crawford
and gained 19 yards, another for 6,
and also plunged through the line and
on through the secondary defense for
16 yards before going down. H ehad
just hit the line twice in a row for 6
yards when the fumble occurred and
nipped a budding touchdown just as
it was about to bloom.
Howard, aided by an offside pen­alty,
made one first down and then
kicked. The Tigers took the oval on
their own 25-yard stripe and clicked
TRUE, BROTHER,
BUNK
TRUE! NOT
off four more first downs before the
half caught them with the ball on the
Howard 24-yard marker. Hodges
reeled through for 12 yards to make
the first~one; he stepped off the last
7 yards of the second one in slices
of three and four; and he also made
ten yards in the fourth one.
After the second half started there
ensued an exchange of punts. One
of these by Bancroft travelled 53
yards, across the goal line. Hodges
got going again after this magnifi­cent
boot. He first lost 3 yards, but
on the next attempt slipped through
for 23 yards, putting the ball,on his
own 4Q=yard stripe. It was a clever
bit of ball carrying, Hodges literally
worming his way through after ap­parently
being downed a short dist­ance
beyond the line of scrimmage.
In midfield however the Tigers lost
the ball on downs with a yard to make
on the fourth effort.
Howard failed to gain, and Ban­croft
kicked. Auburn lost four on
a lateral jpass and a triple pass was
intercepted by. Van Buskirk, who was
downed on Auburn's 40-yard line.
A pass from a trick Howard spread
formation fell dead. On the next
play Van Buskirk got loose and ran
21 yards down the field before
Hodges nailed him on the 17 yard
line. Then Haris hit the line for no
gain, and Van Buskirk got two from
the famous spread formation. With
it third down and eight to go, Spicer
missed a pass from Bancroft, after
having the ball right in his hands.
The next play was exactly the same
formation, but "Spicer held the ball
this time, catching it behind the goal
for> a touchdown. On the try for
extra point, Howell Long broke
through and smeared Bancroft's try,
and the score was tided, 6 to 6.
Not long after that, Howard kick­ed"
after making one first down. Au­burn
countered with an offensive
that netted two first down and put the
ball on the 37 yard line, but lost it
there when Howard covered a fumble.
The ball went back to Auburn on
downs when a Howard pass on the
fourth down was knocked down. One
play failed to gain and on the next
Auburn fumbled again, Spicer recov­ering
for Howard. Here Auburn
drew a fifteen yard penalty, giving
Howard the ball on the seven-yard
line. Three line bucks only gained a
yard, and then on fourth down Ban­croft
kicked a field goal to put
Howard in the lead, 9 to 6.
Snitz Snider, Crippled Tiger speed
artist, was shot into action and chalk­ed
up two fair sized gains, but Au­burn
was forced to kick, and Ban­croft
fumbled only to recover and
bring the game to the point at which
this story started.
Howard was unable to make an
impression on the Auburn line in the
first half, nor did they have any re­markable
success at any time. The
Howard line was rather loose when
the Auburn backs drove through it,
particularly Hodges, whose low
charging rushestrff the tackles were
pretty to watch. He was easily the
star of the Auburn offense. Capt.
Pop Paterson was the outstanding
figure in the Auburn line. He was
literally everywhere when Howard
drove at the line, and his superbN de­fensive
play, especially at directing it, k i m o u t a n d j e t s n i s .mates do the
is worthy of special mention.
Certain well known instructors at
George Washington University are
preparing several tests by which to
weed out the unfit instructors in
school life. Perhaps they have come
to the conclusion that it is not the
students fault for knowing little of a
subject. It is a problem that is just
as important as keeping undesirable
students out of a college's life.
Concerning a~ Certain "A.M." from
Dogville
There are some editorial writers
in Dixie that thrive on ripping others
up the back. A very prominent Au­burn
Tiger was a very recent victim
of such tactics in an Alabama paper.
The promising author of said edito­rial
never considered the fact that
the very "statements he referred to as
alibis were proved not to be lies last
Saturday evening. Some people would
let such things drop, others would
endeavor to apologize in some man­ner,
either publicly or personally."
Did Sherman March Through Georgia
Yea! Brother! Sherman marched
through Georgia, but it looks as if
Georgia's day has arrived. Georgia
has repeatedly run through more sec­tions
of the country than Sherman
ever thought of. And if a strong tide
doesn't blow her off her course and
she lives through one tornado, she'll
have a right to win the race. But, if
that happens, where will Georgia play
Notre Dame, that is the question. It'll
be the first time that a Bulldog ever
won a race in over a score of years.
Flesh, Wind or Water
Commodores! If they can't steer
through Tornados and Tides, then
why the name? Say, this stuff is
serious. But there's one notch that
a Commodore has no knowledge of
and has to master. When a Commo­dore
meets a Volunteer. But, gee,
why bother about that! A few hours
will easily tell the victim and the
winner will be as happy, no matter
which side wins.
Just a Tolerable Tornado
Georgia Tech! Never heard of
Tech! Then go back to. the swamps!
Georgia Bulldogs and Vanderbilt's
Comomdores may meet the same fate
that 'Bama's Crimson Tide encounter­ed.
'Tis a certainty, a strong Tor­nado
may throw a spasm into a dog
or a strong sailor, even though a
plucky Irisher did stand the gaff and
walk through the thick of it all. Let
nature take its course. Tech has a
much feared Tiger to trounce before
she can lay any claims.
A. & M. Proves Strong
Wallace Wade's invincible Crimson
Tide very nearly receded into a
dreadful calm last week-end before the
onrush of a terible Aggie attack.
Lady Luck came to the aid of the
fair Bama lads when the visitors had

Chadwick and Wells, did
the ground gaining for the defeated
and several long dashes were put on
their side of the ledger. The Aggies
far outplayed the Champs and gained
far more ground, but that doesn't
win a game. The Aggies are prep-ping
for the Auburn Tiger this year,
for the simple reason that A. P. I.
has defeated her for the last eleven
times that they have played each
other. This is doubtfully going to be
the twelfth time.

Auburn Loses to
Georgia in Cross
Country Contest
The Auburn cross country team ran
against the harriers from the Univer­sity
of Georgia last Saturday and
were defeated 22 to 33. The race was
over a three mile course and was offi­ciated
by Lieut. Leitch. The winner
was Robert Young, of Georgia, who
went around in the admirable time of
16:38% The first Auburn man to
finish was Captain Duncan, who
placed third. Six representatives
from- each institution were entered,
the places of the first ten men fin­ishing
being the only one counting.
The scoring -was done on a basis of
each team getting points equal to the
placing of the members of that team,
the lower score counting. The final
results showed Georgia with only 22
points compared with Auburn's 33.
It is significant to note that Geor­gia
captured four of the first five
places, and that every one of these
Georgia men thus finishing is only a
sophomore this year. With this ma­terial,
Georgia should certainly have
one of the foremost cross country
teams in the conference next year, if
not this year.

Dormitory Beats
West End in Hard
Fought Grid Scrap
Drake Field was the center of a
great deal of attraction last Satur­day
afternoon, when the Dormitory
Wildcats beat the West End aggre­gation,
19 to 6. Both teams display­ed
some good exhibitions of football,
and showed that they had had some
very efficient coaching.
In the second quarter the Dormi­tory
made their first score. It came
when Kipp, ex-Leeds flash, intercept­ed
a pass and ran 20 yards before
being pulled down on the 5 yard line.
Jones went over on the next play, but
failed to kick goal.
Then a barefoot boy gained fame.
"Hurricane" Baggett, barefoot boy
from Baldwin County, came to the
front and made the next two scores
for the Wildcats. The first one was
made when the ball was on the 30
yard line. Bagett ran over the goal
line and waited until Jones threw the
oval to him. Jones kicked goal. Later
on in the game, Baggett grabbed a
pass and ran 20 yards only to be
tackled on the 2 yard line but he
struggled to his feet and leaped across
the line. Jones failed to kick goal.
Baggett had removed his shoes, for
the soles had become slippery after
running on the grass.
West End made its only touch­down
on a beautiful ^un by Winter.

defeat, although the Cloverdaliaris
were tied by Dothan High. Bull will

team boasts of one of the best lines
of any High School in Dixie and has
worked wonders in previous tilts.

Georgia Scores Two of Their Touchdowns on
Intercepted Passes
The Auburn Rats were beaten by
Georgia at Crampton Bowl last week,
the final result being 25 to 0. There
were several breaks in the game that
helped; the Georgia crew win the
game. Three of the touchdowns were
made like this. The closest that Au­burn
came to scoring was when they
had the ball on the twenty-five, yard
line.
Both of the teams had good de­fense,
while their offense was not as
smooth as it could have been. The
Bullpups scored three of their touch­downs
on breaks, without which the
score would have been 7 to 0. The
other scores were made on a fumble,
and 50 and 70 yard runs after in­tercepted
passes.. However Georgia
had a good team and partly forced
their breaks against Auburn.
On the kick-off the Dorm received and
could not gain, so they punted. Win­ter
caught the pig-skin and brought
it back 55 yards for the counter. He
broke away from six would-be tack-lers.
The Alumni Hall boys outcharged
and outplayed the line from the West
side of town. The West siders made
holes in the line, but the backs were
unable to get through.

Notes of the Societies
A. S. M. E.
The A. S. M. E. held its regular
meeting Monday night, Oct. 31st. in
Ramsay Hall at 7:00i P. M. The
meeting was called to order by the
president of the society, Mr. A. P.
Francis. After reading the minutes
of the previous meeting the following
program was rendered.
Mr. G. B. Ashcraft made a very
interesting talk about the Holland
Vehicular tunnel which is under the
Hudson river. He pointed out sev­eral
of the difficulties the engineers
had to face before the project was
completed. This tunnel saves much
time for the people that have to cross
the Hudson river.
The next speaker of the evening
was Mr. E. F. Shackleford. Mr.
Shackleford gave the society an ex­cellent
talk on steel fabrication. His

talk was exceedingly good as he had
several samples of steel to show the
members of the society in order to
make his subject more interesting.
Mr. C. A. Sturtevant, the last
speaker on the program told of the
efficiency of the human body. He
very cleverly compared the efficiency
of' the Human body with that of the
gas and steam engines.
After the program was completed
a general discussion followed as to the
membership in the society, the dues,
etc. The society then adjourned to
meet next regular meeting night,

all mechanical engineers, freshmen,
sophomores, and all. Let's get behind
the A. S. M. E. and make it the lead­ing
society on the campus.
A. I. E. E. HAS SMOKER
The last meeting of the local chap­ter
of A. I. E. E. was an event in the
history of the society. ' It' was not
just another smoker, but a real "get-together"
which every Elec <and some
Chemicals) enjoyed. The noise
started when the non-smokers were
given chewing gum with which to
amuse themselves, and continued
through the spontaneous and humor­ous
talks which several of the Mark
Twains in the society made when
called on by the President.
Gene Austin has a rival in the per­son
of W. Riyes Hebblewhite who sang
several popular song hits accom­panied
by himself on his banjo-uke
Rat Goodgame next rendered several
popular selections on the saxophone.
The society was glad to have Dean
Wilmore present. He gave us some
useful thoughts on making friends and
keeping them. Professor Hixon was
on hand with his "bag-full oi tricks"
which everybody knows are always
good. Last but not least came the
eats which even Max Kahnxenjoyed.

AUBURN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
The Chemical Society met in the
Main Building last Monday night.
President Morris read a letter to the
society from the American Chemical
Society, which stated that there were
no student branches of the .society,
but that a student may become a mem­ber
by getting the. proper nomination
of a member of the American .Chemi­cal
Society and paying the yearly
dues. This society has an Alabama
branch with headquarters in Birming­ham;
if there are any students in
Chemical Engineering that were not
out at the last meeting and would
like to join this branch, President
Morris has several application blanks
that he would be glad to let them
have.
After the business of the society
was finished, Miss Norris gave a
good discussion on the uses of the
Inert Gases. One point of her talk
that was of special interest to us was
the use of Argon in the electric lamp
manufacture. She stated that gas
filled lamps consume three times as-much
current as those without gases
in them, but,that they also give off
four times as much light as those
without gas in them. Miss Norris
also gave a brief discussion on the
advancement of Neon and Xenon and
Krypton in the industrial world.
SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB
The regular meeting of the Social
Science Club was held Monday even­ing
at seven o'clock. E. H. Kilgore
talked on the "Possibilities of the
Next Presidential Election." He
spoke of the possible nomination of
Al Smith, and the results it would
have on The Solid South.
T. O. Drake summarized the con­tinuous
growth of business since the
Civil War in his talk on "Economic
Problems." The general trend of
foreign trade was reviewed.
O. P. Richardson discussed, "U.. S.
and Russia as viewed by an Ameri­can
Business Man." He spoke of. the
things in common between the coun­tries,
and the attitude of Russia
toward the United States.
An advertising committee, Lasse-ter
and Marshall, was appointed.
There being no further discussion the
meeting adjourned.

In a talk to the -ag. club, Newt Nor­ris
said, "mutations have been i in­creased
150 times in, the fruit-fly by
the use of X-ray, more than that-the
X-ray is not limited to the develop­ment
of mutations in the fruit-fly but
a general belief is advanced that it
will serve equally as well in higher
animals." *
New species are brought about due
to mutations but the trouble comes in
that we are not able to predict wheth­er
the progeny wil be progresive or
retrogresive to the progenitorial gen­eration,
according to the speaker.
"The government has set aside a
reservation in Oklahoma for the pre­servation

Absolute knowledge have I none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's son
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week
Hand written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo
Who said that a son in Cuba knew
Of a colored gent in a Texas town,
Who got it right from a circus clown
That a man in the Klondyke got the
news
From a*number of smooth American
Jews
About some fellow in Borneo
Who knew a man who claims tb know
A hermit who lives beside a lake
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove a friend's sister's niece
Has stated in_a nicely written piece
That she has a son who knows about
The date that the new Ford car comes,

fore the season is over. Bolton
Shotts is still out of the fray and
won't get his usual chance to display
his wares.
Among those returning to take their
post will be Snitz Snider, Buck Ellis,
Granger, Peake, Cosper and Spinks.
And with this crew of veterans back,
a much snappier game is anticipated.
Snider only ran in three plays last
. Saturday, but gained 13 yards, in
those. Buck Ellis, who has been out
on account of a death in his family,
is once more^jn uniform and should
rip off quite a bit of yardage, as well
as bring up the defensive strength
considerably. Granger will be in once
more with his snappy defensive work
and hard line plunges. Peake and
Cosper, who were disabled in the
Georgia fray are once more running
true to form and should see a bit of
service Saturday.
The backfield wil be about twice
as strong this Saturday as it was last.
There are four veteran backs back
in the game, and with none of those
that did so well last week, a marked
improvement is expected.
On the line, there will not be so
many changes. Spinks is once more
in fine condition and Cunningham

dignation, but false pride, a root of
much error."
"Sometimes we find ourselves meet­ing
ordinary everyday affairs with the
right spirit, but should a problem
arise that stirs dignity and pride we
forget about God. The situation com­pares
to the one in which a little boy
was once on his knees praying and
his little sister came by and tickled
his feet in the midst of his prayers.
He exclaimed, "Excuse me Lord while
I knock hell out of sister."
"So it is with life. We arc content
to teach and live the gospel of love
until a real trying situation reaches
us. The plea is then, "Excuse me,
Lord, while I deal with this man as
I feel that I should, because he is not
treating me justly," or "because he
has committed a deed not creditable
to me or those around."

ing to note that inventions, and the
building of geometrical figures have
become one of Dr. Doner.'s pet hob­bies,
at which, he spends much of his
spare time.
In the fall of 1918 he resumed his
course of studies, this time attending
the University of Illinois and two
years later received his masters de­gree
from that institution. While
there he also taught physics as a side
line. His next three years were
spent at Huron College, teaching
physics-and mathematics. In 1926
he received his Doctors degree from
the University of 111. The following
year he taught mathematics at Pur­due
University.
This year we are very proud to
have him here at Auburn as Associ­ate
Math. Professor, and sincerely
hope he will remain with us for many
years, as he is an excellent instructor
and well liked by both boys and the
faculty members.

that it will be distributed in such a
way as to be beneficial to every child
of public school age, rural and urban.
By request of the program commit­tee,
of which Prof. J. C. Grimes, was
chairman, Prof. L. N. Duncan, direc­tor
of the Extension Service of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, deliv­ered
a short talk on extension work
in agriculture and home economics in
Alabama. He explained that exten-iion
work is one of the three divisions
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and that the chief object of extension
work is to carry the teachings of the
College to the people of the state and
assist them in putting these college
recommendations into practice. He
said that the ambition of extension
workers in Alabama is to make the
service a model for efficient and
practical service.
Prof. John E. Ivey, president of the
club, presided. Miss Evelyn Smith,
of Camp Hill, sang two solos which
were thoroughly enjoyed by the en­tire
club. Visitors present were
Dean Zebulon Judd, of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, and Dr. W. L.
Chandler, of the Michigan State Col­lege
at East Lansing.
The Lions Club of Auburn is rated
as one of the outstanding luncheon
clubs of the state and its endorsement
of the school bond issue is considered
an important step toward its adop­tion.
DEAN ZEBULON JUDD GIVEN
MENTION IN STATE PRESS
(Continued from page one)
The logic of establishing a Depart­ment
of Education is evident if one
considers the history of the develop­ment
of our national government.
Originally there were only three
executive departments with Secre­taries
in the President's Cabinet;
namely, Departments of State, War,
and Treasury. As our national life
expanded and new interests develop­ed
other departments were establish­ed;
the Navy Department in 1789;
the Post Office Department in 1829;
the Department of the Interior in
1849; and the Department of Justice
in 1870.
New Need* Resulted in the Creation
* of New Federal Department!
So far the Departments had to do
with the administration of federal ac­tivities.
Now a new conception of a
Federal Department is evolved;
namely, to promote certain types of
social and economic welfare. Under
this conception there came into exist­ence
a Department of Agriculture in
1862 (but without a Secretary in the
President's Cabinet until 1889) The
Department of Commerce and Labor
in 1903, which ten years later was di
vided into two departments, one of
Commerce and one of Labor.
Establishment of a Department of
Education Only an Extension
of Previous Policy
The establishment of a Department
of Education with a Secretary in the
President's Cabinet will not consti­tute
a departure from our historical'
line of development. This Depart-
