School Will Give Up Business
Enterprise For Expansion
Program
A report that the board of trust­ees,
in order that the extensive build­ing
program of the institute may be
completed, in now considering a pro­posal
to sell a part of the power plant
properties owned by the college, and
used in furnishing Auburn with water
and electricity, has been confirmed
by President Knapp.
One of the two bids submitted is
from the Alabama Power Company,
which would acquire only the equip­ment
used in producing electricity
The water works would be taken over
by an unnamed organization.
Upon authorization of the state
legislature, the school has undertaken
a broad building program and it is
the wish of Dr. Knapp to relieve the
school of the business enterprise and
convert these properties into new
buildings. The plant equipment on
the campus would not be affected by
the deal, and this would continue to
be used in providing current for the
school.
Electricity is now furnished the
school by the Alabama Power Com­pany
and under the proposed plan to
transfer the company would purchase
chiefly poles, wires and other equip
ment used in distributing power to
the town. The sum involved would
practically double the school's invest­ment
in the properties.
Some definite decision is expected
to be reached in the matter at a meet­ing
of the board to be held in the of­fices
of Governor Graves next Sat­urday.
This conference will follow
one held last Friday, which was at­tended
by Thomas W. Martin, presi­dent
of the power company. The plan
is said to have been first placed be-for
the board at its semi-annual meet­ing
at Auburn on Washington's Birth­day.
In speaking of the . matter,. Dr.
Knapp said, "The school either must
invest more money in extending and
revamping this outside service or dis
pose of it altogether and the board
now has under consideration which is
the wisest course to pursue. With the
growth of the town, the present equip
ment shortly will be inadequate and
it would cost in the neighborhood of
$25,000 to make the necessary exten
sions.
"It is my belief that the school
should not be forced to carry on an
outside business enterprise. We have
but twenty-three first-class class
rooms in use at present and if we
could convert this property into new
buildings and complete our building
program, I think it would be the
wisest thing to do. It is my earnest
desire to safeguard every interest of
the state and I have no preference
whatsoever in the disposal of the
properties. The funds are what we
need. I have just refused a flatter­ing
offer from a fertilizer organiza­tion
to make an extensive trip as its
representative, to see this program
through."
The state legislature authorized an
appropriati .n of $750,000 for the
building program at the school which
has been partly finished. Four build­ings
are yet to be erected.
'A' Club Dance Be
Had Saturday Night
Another dance of a series of "A"
Club dances is to be given Saturday
evening at 9:30 with Abie Hardin
and his Auburn Collegians furnishing
music.
Plans have been made to make this
one of the best of the year, accord­ing
to information given by members
of the "A" Club.

Covering a space of over eleven
thousand miles, radio messages were
exchanged between amateur station
W4AQ, operating on a frequency of
14000 kilocycles or a wavelength of
20 meters, and six New Zealand sta­tions
Saturday night by members of
the Auburn Radio Club. The New
Zealand stations reported the signals
of the Auburn station as being loud,
and easily copied.
The twenty meter transmitter has
only been in operation since Febru
ary 1st, but since that time much
long distance communicating has
been carried on. The station has been
heard in England, Germany, Sweden,
and other European countries.
The forty meter unit is still in
operation, and is daily in use in re­laying
traffic free of charge for stu-dents
of the college and the general
public. By a quick change switch it
is possible to switch from one trans
mitter to the other in less than twen

Dr. Pammel Talks On
Relations U.S. to Cuba
Noted Iowa State College Professor
Speaks to Lions Club At Their
Weekly Meeting
A talk on the relations of the
United States to Cuba was delivered
by Dr. L. H. Pammel, of the Iowa
State College to the Lion's Club of
Auburn at its weekly meeting Tues­day
noon at the Thomas Hotel.
' Dr. Pammel told how the Cubans
were tending to trade with Europe
more than America. Since the Amer­ican
import tariff on sugar was re­cently
raised, it was shown that Eu­ropean
nations were offering better
markets for the Cuban products.
"Sweet Adeline" was the selection
rendered by all of the visiting mini­sters.
Besides Dr. Pammel, the following
visitors to the club:
Rev. S. B. Hay, Rev. Donald C.
McGuire, Rev. W. B. Lee, Dr. J. B.
Edwards, Rev. John W. Inzer, Dr.
John W. Frazier, Dr. W. F. Fuller,
A. S. Nickel, Milligan Earnest, L. D.
Baver, and W. D. Jennings.
Dr. Pammel is professor of botany
at Iowa State. He is an ex-chairman
of the Iowa State Board of Conser­vation
and an ex-president of the
Iowa Academy of Science.

ON FRIDAY TO OPEN

Saturday
STUDENT BODY
NOTICE
Any student wishing to make alter­ations
or suggestions concerning the
Point System will send such in writ­ing
to Streeter Wiatt, chairman of
the committee, before March 24, as
the Executive Cabinet will adopt the
system at that time.
When the curtain is raised on Au­burn's
1930 baseball schedule Fri­day
afternoon on Drake Field, with
the Fort. Benning Musketeers furn­ishing
the opposition, the Sheridan
tossers probably will be facing the
first team to record a no-hit, no-run
game this season.
The Musketeers opened their sched­ule
last Saturday against the Hub­bard
Hardware nine with a 17-0 vic­tory.
Three hurlers shared the mound
duty in holding the Hubmen in check
without a measley single. They
claim in Columbus that it is the first
perfect performance on record where
a trio of pitchers were used by the
winners. Lefty Carnes, Stevens and
Perkins worked on the hill for the
Benningnites.
In addition to their star mound
corps, the Army nine is boasting of
other star diamond performers. They
have always pushed the Plainsmen
hard in every sport and will be out
to continue their winning streak Fri­day
and Saturday afternoons. The
two teams will play a return tilt at
Fort Benning Saturday after the cur­tain
raiser at the Cornerstone.
Practice contests are being staged
regularly by the Orange and Blue
horsehide pasters with the pitchers
carrying off the honors in the major­ity
of the battles. Prim, West, Smith,
Harkins, Carter and Hall have been
showing up well for this time of the
season, as they have held the heavy
hitters fairly well in check.
Buck Carter, the ace of the pitch­ing
corps last season, is suffering
with pink eyes whieh will keep him
out of uniform for a few days. Carter
is the second member of the team to
have eye trouble, as Newton is just
getting over the same ailment.
Coach Sheridan has intimated that
he will use Carter in the opening
game if his eyes are all right. Lefty
Prim probably will receive the as­signment
to pitch in the second fray
at Benning.

farm.
Arrangements for the inspection
trip were made by J. L. Siles, county
farm demonstration agent, and Miss
Gladys McCain, county home agent.
The group was greeted by G. A. Trol-lope,
head of the college poultry de­partment,
who led the visitors about
the farm and explained the methods

"Expansion" Keynote
Of Glomerata Dedication
It is indeed fitting that the 1930 Glomera­ta,
which is to portray the spirit of ex­pansion
that has been so evident in all
the actions of the recent administration is
to be dedicated to Dr. Bradford Knapp who
as president of Auburn has done so much
to create and foster this spirit.
The 1929 Glomerata was dedicated to the
Alumni because of their unquestionable loy­alty
to their Alma Mater. This spirit
has weathered many successive storms dur­ing
the past few years but in spite of all at­tempts
to beat it down it has come through
unblemished, undimmed and victorious. In
a like manner Dr. Knapp, with his spirit
of advancement and expansion, has not trod
the proverbial path of roses since his in­auguration
as president here. Incidences
too numerous to mention have arisen to in­terfere
with his outlined program, petty dif­ferences
which had to be settled, a diffi­cult
athletic situation; all combined in what
has seemed like a series of diabolical in­cidents
to crush this spirit. Yet in spite
of all these things Dr. Knapp's program
has gone on, delayed at times, yet never en­tirely
coming to a halt, but rather showing
a steady progress toward bigger and bet­ter
Auburn. Dr. Knapp's handling of these
situations which have arisen, combined with
a wonderful personality and a thorough un­derstanding
of the psychology of leadership
have gained for him the admiration of the
entire Auburn student body.
In keeping with this spirit of expansion
the Glomerata staff has demed it wise to
make a few worthwhile changes in the
1930 year book. The new volume is to be
increased in size, the quality of the ma-terialyis
to be raised and a general effort
made to keep up with the pace set by Dr.
Knapp in his program. It is again only
fitting that a book which is to be dedicated
to a man whose key-note of office is "ex­pansion"
should attempt to portray this
spirit.
The Plainsman congratulates the-Glom­erata
staff upon its excellent decision to
dedicate the Thirty-third volume of the
Glomerata to Dr. Knapp and further com­mends
the staff upon the spirit which is
to be portrayed among the leaves of their
book, the spirit of expansion.
New Radio Programs Bring
Auburn Nearer The People
The Radio programs that are being spon­sored
by Omicron Delta Kappa are bring­ing
the interest of the public to Auburn in
no mean degree. These programs are side­lights
of student life and real, and we feel
that the Omega circle of O. D. K. are car­rying
them out in a unique and impressing
manner—something that is sure tobring ap­plause-
from outsiders.
The'first program, rendered a few days
ago, was something the radio enthusiasts
throughout the state had not expected. And
when it came over the waves, they were
pleasantly surprised. The parents of the
high school students in the state had an
agreeable insight into a usual Fall scene
in Auburn.
It is. naturally expected that when people
become more acquainted with a situation,
they are more interested. So it is reason­ably
certain that if the people of the state,
supporters and prospective students, can
be introduced to actual life here, they will
become more acclimated and favorably im­pressed
with Auburn.
In that the theme of their presentations
is woven about actual facts of Auburn we
should realize the possibilities that are be­ing
opened by these programs. Every ad­vantage
is carefully imposed upon to the
fullest extent, and a maximum of good re­sults
can easily be expected.. Those of O.
D. K. who have shown the initiative and
skill for putting over such conspicuous pro­grams
should be warmly congratulated by
all.
Glee Club Recognizes
Members By Worthy Award
The new plan recently adopted which
gives keys to those of the Auburn Glee Club
who have served for three or more years
on the Glee Club seems to us only a just
recognition for the work and interest that
has geen given by these particular men.
The Auburn Glee Club has done very note­worthy
work this year, as is in evidence
by the popular manner they have been re­ceived
while touring the larger cities of
north Alabama. They have ben rewarded
by having themselves proved efficient be­fore
the public eye, but they cannot share
a reward in the good publicity that they
have given Auburn. Such benefit's will be
reaped in later years, and will help estab­lish
the goal that Auburn has set out to
attain. <
Again, in the past the Glee Club work­ers
have received litle recognition for their
earnest efforts as entertainers, while under
the present plan those who have distin­guished
themselves in the club enough to re­main
members of it for several years will
be recognized. One of the best features of
the eligibility of one to receive a key is
that it is bestowed only on those who have
proved their ability. This makes the) key
a worthy possession.
The Plainsman wishes to congratulate
those whose services have ben so well merit­ed,
and who are to be rewarded with keys
presented by Dr. Knapp. We hope that
their success will continue, and that the
Glee Glub will soon be booked for a second
state tour.

demand consessions which the Reds claim
as their rights, and would draw the great
mass of working people to its colors, was
no different from any other day. Except­ing
for the streamer space given it by the
newspapers of America and the rest of the
world, many people hould not have known
about it, and the Observer in commenting
on it says—
"Red Thursday" will go down in Amer­ican
history as an opera boufe, with more
comedy than drama in its undeveloped riots
and radical utterances. All that was gain­ed
was some sore heads from night sticks
and jail terms for disorders. Men out of
employment and with nothing to do joined
the paraders, but nobody "laid down their
tools" to join the ranks of the Reds. Jobs
in America are too scarce for that.
It was considerable of a "show," and
that was all. Americans will jam traffic
any day in the week to watch a mountebank
on a corner. The crowds that assembled
in the great cities were mostly onlookers.
It was a nice role of clowns, and everybody
enjoyed themselves—except those who made
contact with hard-hearted policemen and
were sent to hospitals as a consequence . . .
It is not announced that there were any
accretions to the ranks of the Communists
anywhere. It was an abortive effort. So
far as the South is concerned any Commu­nist
demonstration was doomed to failure
before it was started. Their program of
social equality is sufficient for the workers
as well as the manufacturers and owners
to turn thumbs down on them. Their pow­er
in the South was broken when the Gasto-nia
strike failed.
Which does not mean that Communism
is no menace to American institutions. The
very doctrine they preach is antagonistic to
all that Americans hold dear. The laboring
man in America knows that he has the same
rights under the Constitution as any other
men. He will hesitate to join any associa­tion
of men who would abrogate that docu­ment.
The bulk of theCommunists are for­eigners,
who have little love for Americans
or their institutions.
The American working man can best help
himself by upholding the constituted author­ities
of the best land on earth. They will
be found on the side of law and order if a
final test should come. But the Commu­nists
and their propaganda are nevertheless
an underlying cause of the unrest that is
apparent in many sections. They are dan­gerous
because they will not hesitate at
violence.
Not even age frees us from the tempta­tion
to make a fool of ourself.

The really f i ne
thing about convoca­tion
Monday when we
inaugurated Religious
Week was that we
found at least two
preachers who a re full
of the very joy of liv­ing.
I wish everybody
could have been there.
Those who were there
thoroughly enjoyed it. After all it is a
great pleasure to have such keen mental
enjoyment as these two clever men brought
to us. One of my favorite thoughts is that
you never do reach the time in your life
when you can thoroughly enjoy everything
you are doing until you can get out of your­self
and begin to have these two great
relationships straightened out—one of which
is your relationship with your fellow being
and the other your relationship to God. I
sincerely hope the meetings will be frankly
and earnestly advantageous to all of you.

A few words over the radio the other
night brought me more and more messages
by letter, many of them comforting and
some of them giving me new problems and
new duties to individual students. I have
been very much impressed with the sincere
desire of many people ni Alabama to help
the work done at Auburn be worthwhile.
The task of reaching individual students
and correcting their errors of judgment and
putting them on the right way is a difficult
task. So far as the education part of this
institution is concerned it is one of the most
important jobs we have. Sometimes I wish
I knew more intimately some of the troubles
into which students fall. They are so easily
corrected at times and it is such a great
satisfaction to be able to help when help
is needed. This is a good week for you to
go and talk some of these things over with
these fine local preachers or with some of
the visitors who are here helping us this
week. If you do not feel like approaching
them, I want you to feel at all times that
you can come to the president's office with
your various troubles and difficulties.
There are some people who cannot be-liefe
that we need new buildings and yet
in the last few years we have cut four
rooms in the main building in two with
partitions in order to make additional small,
cramped classrooms. We have cut four
other original rooms in Broun Hall in two
in the same manner. We have had to take
classroom space for offices. We have at
least seven or eight classrooms in base­ments
where the light is poor unless elec­tric
current is used and where the seats and
othe requipment is of the very poorest. We
have had many fine teachers in this insti­tution
who have labored for years in build­ings
where they did not have adequate
modern equipment and facilities for doing
their work. The new buildings proposed
will not only add the entire Textile building
which we are so badly in need of with 49
students in college taking Textile Engin­eering
but will actually add in the neighbor­hood
of twenty classrooms by the vacating
of rooms now used as offices but which were
designed originally as classrooms, when new
office facilities are ready in the Adminis­tration
building, and will house some of the
departments under safe conditions and make
property which the institution holds much
safer and place the valuable records at the
institution which involve the life and edu­cational
efforts of many people in a safe
place instead of in the exceedingly unsafe
place where they are now kept. Nobody
knows quite as well as I do what a great
handicap it is for an institution to have its
records destroyed by fire. I am sincerely
hoping that I shall be able to present a suf­ficient
amount of data to the board of
trustees and to the people at large to con­vince
them that we are in sore need of all
these new buildings.

"Little Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Apparently Auburn has set a worthy
precendent in the matter of offering her
Architectural students a five-year course.
The major portion of the credit for this
act is due to the notable Dean Biggin.
. And you haveVt read the novel "Cotton,"
by Jack Bethea? Neither have we; but
it is to be our next selection after "Compan­ionate
Marriage." Your interest in the
book might be increased to note that Jack
is an old Auburn student.
Co-eds at State are not altogether unde­sirable.
In fact, in some respects they are
an asset to the institution. This all de­pends
upon the girl . . .
"The opposite sex is one of the reasons
men dress as elaborately as some do, and
although a book is not judged by it's covers,
sometimes the covers are all that a person
has a chance to see." (Editorial)."
And it is very interesting to note that
matters in other institutions run quite simi­lar
to our own; for instance—fraternity
pledging, laundryman differences, co-ed
concussion's, and the like.
These Spring days now being enjoyed in Auburn are certainly producive of
sleep. No less than one hundred first hour classes were slept through last week.
We contributed four of these.

PAL O' MY HEART
I like to think of you, my own;
The dearest pal I've ever known.
A jolly pal when all is gay,
/ A tender pal when things are gray,
A patient pal when things go wrong,
A pal who'll help his pal along,
A winsome pal, so sweet and kind.
Each day new charms in you I find
And day by day you grow more near,
, For you're the pal o' my heart, my dear.

"To be rich enough to be able to afford to be shabby is to be deprived of the

MORRIS CHAIRS FOR STUDENTS
A slogan "If we must have education,

of Northwestern university after Pro­fessor
Baker Brownell of the department
of sociology and literature said he favored
Morris chairs for class rooms.
Professor Brownell told a class in modern
life a ndletters that he wanted to take the
backache out of education. He would have
home-like surroundings, a few Morris chairs,
upholstered window seats, and plenty of
cushions, he said.
His reform idea met with such lusty ap­proval
he was considering presentation of
the matter to the university authorities.

CAREFUL NOW
The perennial question of making Se-wanee
a co-educational institution has aris­en.
And it is rumored, many would have
the proposed new unit of the University
of the South a college for women. They
believe that the advantages and disadvan­tages
seem to about balance. Advocates for
the change urge that women on the scene
would make Sewanee completely ideal; that
such a situation would be perfectly normal,
and that where men are isolated from wom­en,
as at present, a grave psychological
defect exists.
"When the men graduate they will be
thrown into a male-female world from which
for four years they have been practically
removed . What right have the men to all
the advantages of one of the South's most
cultural environments? Be more broad-minded
and allow the women to be exposed
to it," say the co-ed agitators."
Conservatives say that already is practi­cally
ideal and that co-eds would only clut­ter
the machine. Tee hee. And also that
the absence of nearby cities would cause
the boys and girls to become too conscious
of each other, to the detriment of studies.
More potent still, back in 1868, the good
Episcopal bishops could foresee no campus
alternately dotted with silk stockings and
corduroy trousers, and that they should ad­here
to the policy of these founders. We
though we do have the little angels with
grant that it is a hard problem, even
us. You just can't live with them of with­out
them. \

HOUSE MOTHER FOR FRATS
Evidence gleaned by Dean of Men, Harry
E. Stone, of West Virginia University from
a study of the house mother system for
fraternity chapter houses indicates that the
idea may or may not be a success according
to the attitude of the group, the capacity
of the women chosen to inspire loyalty and
respect, and the cooperation and guidance
received from university administrative au­thorities.
"A willingness to sacrifice com­fort
that young men away from home may
be more comfortable, a spirit that looks
upon the job as an opportunity to serve and
to be useful, a financial situation .that
makes it possible to work for the love of
the work—these, and these pualities alone
will make a house mother a benediction and
not a bore, an asset and not a liability, ac­cording
to the Dean. The chief difficulty
is the finding of a woman for house mother,
to those chapters that wish to install one,
who is the right type of woman for a salary
the fraternity can afford to pay.
The Dean says, "I favor house mothers
when fraternities voluntary decide to in­stall
them, and when they give power as
well as responsibility. I believe that the
right type of .woman will not become a
'smoke screen' for excessive liberties or a
mere 'figure head'."

ATYPEWRITER forward, Roget's
Thesaurus on the port, Webster's
Academic Dictionary on the star­board
and with a cargo of "The Mind and
Face of Bolshevism" aboard, the devilish
old sea-dog Billowheel stumping about on
the poop and all hands making the pumps;
and again the creaky old ship fels for the
channel. Batten them hatches, for'd thar!
Vast amounts of writing is being done
with- Russia as its material. Every na­tion
the over has an eye cocked Russia
way, and every government is guarding
its frontiers like nervous panthers to pre­vent
the missionary spirit of Russia cross­ing.
Our leers at Bolshevism in the begin­ning
have practically frozen on our faces,
perhaps from horror. Our wonder at Rus­sia
has turned into nausea and we don't
jeer them; we stare and say, "My God!"
It is too much for us. Too vast! Too
overwhelming! Our staid mentalities,
muscle-bound with conventions and rot
learning, can't somersault with the aban­don
of Soviet Russia.
Russia has not only changed its form
of government, its customs and traditions,
but it is making every effort to change
man himself. The individual is no longer
of consequence in that country. It is the
mass that is to be given ear and it is the
mass that rumbles throatily of the day
when the "collective man" shall be su­preme.
All is being subordinated to the
mass in Russia today; art, literature, mu­sic
and philosophy are magnifying its
splendors.
The upheaval in Russia is more than a
mere revolution. Russia would wipe out
the "soul-encumbered individual creature"
and sub for it the " mass man" or as it
believes the "higher type" of man. Rus­sia
is grounding its hopes upon the theory
that the individual acquisitions of man
will be completely obliterated on being ab­sorbed
into the mass, that the person will
be without conscious personality and that
he will become simply "an automatom with
no will of his own."
The "Collective man" that one hears so
s
much about is not one man, but a million
men, living, eating and sleeping as one;
skillfully operating industrial machinery as
one and wifti a minimum of thinking. In
truth thinking will fegress to the point
where instincts and habit will suffice for
his very impersonal personality.
God'does not fit in with Russia's scheme
of procedure, so He is cut adrift. The
"collective man" must not be befuddled with
obligations to a higher Being. Industry
is his god and he worships at a shrine of
machinery, his hymn is the rhymic whirr of
a million wheels.
Illegitimate children in Russia abound
and in the eyes of the government they
are as legitimate as any. Divorce is as
simple as cutting your History class. Eith­er
one of the married couple may speedily
dissolve the union by simply submitting a
petition to the state declaring that the
marriage is not a success or is not pleasant,
and the divorce is forthcoming. There- are
no quibblings in a court, but only the sub­mitted
statement to the magistrate of the
town or village, and there you are, ready
to start over again.
But when the whiskered Soviet bounced
out into the country to inform the liberat­ed
peasant about the glories of the revo­lution,
and also proceeded to prattle about
the wonders of the "collective man" and
collective farming, he bounced back to town
again not quite so lively and stroking his
whiskers. When the downtrodden Russian
peasant learned that the autocracy of the
Tsars was finished, he dreamed of own­ing
his land and eating meat, perhaps he
even smiled a little. But it must have
been a quick smile, for he did not look up
long. Communism tells him that the gov­ernment
owns his land and that farming
must be done collectively and that he can­not
hoard his surplus for soft boots or
warmer clothing. The - ex-peasant is be­wildered;
he is listlessly digging his worn
old boot toe into the ground and wonder­ing.
He has almost decided that he is no
better off than before and the Soviet gov­ernment
is doing its best to convince him
that he is, that he is free and happy. ..But
the peasant doesn't quite see why he should
be so happy; he doesn't have soft boots,
or warm clothing to wear or meat to eat.
The Soviet realizes that it must tickle the
peasant in the ribs and convince him that
he is happy, very happy. Russia is stlil
largely agricultural, and much depends up­on
the farming people.
Although Russia is a step-child among
nations it furnishes probably the most
stimulating and certainly the most ghast­ly
spectacle of our generation.
Is anything so nerve-wracking as a
nervous hostess?
TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
Harvard Award Is Presented
»
To Westinghouse Electric Co*
The Harvard Award, for the "gen­eral
or institutional advertising cam­paign
conspicuous for the excellence
of its planning and execution", es­tablished
by Edward W. Bok, late
philanthropist and publicist of Phila­delphia,
was presented to-the West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company. Today's award was the
first given to a national institutional
advertising campaign in newspapers
since the founding of the event.
The award, consisting of a certi­ficate
and a cash prize of $2,000, was
%made by Dean Wallace B.. Donham of
the Harvard Graduate School of Bus­iness
Administration to J. C. McQuis-otn,
general advertising manager of
the Westinghouse Company and to A.
L. Billingsley, president of Fuller &
Smith, Cleveland, advertising agency
of Westinghouse.
The ward was established in 1923
in the belief that such awards would
stimulate excellence in the planning
and execution of advertising. They
also would afford, the founder stated,
an educational opportunity through
the focusing of public attention upon
advertising of excellence and provide
a means to encourage advertising
workers through public recognition of
their work.
The jury which awarded the cer­tificate
of merit consisted of:
Prank A. Black, vice-president and
publicity manager, William Filene's
Sons Company, Boston; Don Bridge,
advertising director, Indianapolis
News, Indianapolis; Lee H. Bristol,
vice-president, Bristol-Myers Com­pany,
New York; Allan Brown, ad­vertising
manager, Bakelite Corpora­tion,
New York; Ray H. Griswold,
The Griswold-Eshleman Company,
Cleveland; Robert L. Johnson, adver­tising
manager, Time, New York;
William A. Kittredge, The Lakeside
Press, Chicago; Bernard Lichtenberg,
Alexander Hamilton Institute, New
York; Joseph Piatt, art director, De­lineator,
New York; Raymond Rubi-cam,
president, Young & Rubicam,
Inc., New York; .Melvin T. Copeland,
professor of marketing, Harvard Bus­iness
School; Neil H. Borden, asso­ciate
professor of advertising, Har­vard
Business School.
The ' Westinghouse advertisements,
adjudged to be the best of all institut-tional
messages appearing last year,
consisted of a series of 20 advertise­ments,
nearly all of which were full
newspaper page in size. These adver­tisements
appeared in the leading
newspapers of the United States and
for the most part were included in
rotogravure sections. /
The advertisements told, in simple
terms, of the great service electricity
is rendering today's world—in indus
try, intransportation, in home, in of
fice. They stressed the importance
of the electric light and power indus­try
in making, electricity available to
every cmomunity, in any quantity, at
any time. Then these advertisements
were "institutionalized" by citing the
important contributions made by
Westinghouse in expanding the uses
of electricity.
Striking captions focused public at­tention
upon Westinghouse advertise­ments.
Included in the series of titles
were such significan headlines as:
Light for a million Homes: Elec­tricity
Gives a Building Life; Where
Power Flows Business Grows; Elec­tricity
Goes to Sea; Putting Lazy
Rivers to Work for You; and Dead
Metal Leaps to Life—Electrically.

Chased for years by American de­butantes
and feted into boredom by
their millionaire fathers, Vicomte
Alain de Leche, has retaliated with
what purports to be asatire of his
pursuers' foibles in 'Mr. Goldberg's
Party," just published. |
The young nobleman, who describes
himself as an international bachelor,
has taken refuge at the Rit'z while
America's gold coast, particularly the
Chicago sector, learns what he was
really thinking about as he bowed
gallantly in their marble halls and
flirted discreetly in conservatories.
The chief butt of his fun-making
appear as a Chicago millionaire who,
according to the Vicomte, tried to chis­el
his way into the American Ambas­sadorship
to France. The Vicomte
admits with what passes for a well-bred
wink that it isn't so hard- to guess
for those who know their social ps
and qs.
Despite the thrusts at Mr. Goldberg,
the Vicomte does not wish to close
the. doors of American hospitality ir­revocable
for he declares, "No matter
what I write, I think American girls
are charming. They have such poise,
such enthusiasm."
But, lest some optimistic debutante
should become unduly fluttered or per­haps
to provoke just that, the canny
Frenchman adds:
"Of course when I marry my wife
will be French. The French girl has
that quality almost universally lack
ing in American's sublety."

fishermen had observed from Wild-wood
Gables dock fronting Cold
Spring harbor, what appeared to be
a stuffed, long-legged bird, standing
on one leg at the water's edge. The
bird remained motionless so long in
one spot that the fishermen finally
agreed that it was a good example
of taxidermist's art, planted by a prac­tical
joker. Today, the yarn-spinners
said, two clam diggers went out to
the spot and found the bird was a
heron, alive and held captive by a
huge clam firmly imbedded in the
sand.
The heron, they said, had inadvert­ently
annoyed the clam who slept with
his mouth or shell open, by stepping
on the shell and the clam retaliated
by promptly closing his shell on Mr.
Heron's toes. The heron was rescued
and his enemy went into a pot of
chowder, which was offered as proof
of the yearn.
STRANGE MALADY THOUGHT
TO BE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL
A strange malady with paralytic
characteristics, apparently caused
originally by the drinking of poison­ed
liquor, has placed about 40 vic­tims
in Oklahoma City hospitals, with
probably as many more receiving
treatment in their homes. Dr. W. H.
Miles, city physican, was seeking to
determine definitely the cause of the
illness and whether the disease was
communicable.
advertisements lay in the accuracy
of art detail as well as in the struc­ture
and word detail. The artist
who drew the picture accompanying
each advertisement made his sketch­es
for the most part, in great generat­ing
stations, ship yards, and in fac­tories.
Generalization in detail came
only after the actual physical prop­erties
had been visualized.
The men responsible for the writ­ing
of the institutional messages, too,
made exhaustive research into the
varied industries upon which the ad­vertisements
were built. Each adver­tisement,
therefore, was a creative ef­fort
constructed front a fundamental
knowledge of the business structure
and economics involved.
The series was part of a Westing­house
newspaper advertising cam­paign
which first had its inception in
1928. At that time Mr. McQuiston
stated his belief that newspapers af­forded
a splendid means of national­izing
and localizing" advertising,
which meant that he could schedule a
national campaign throughout the
country made up of advertisement's
built to fit the particular require­ments
of individual communities.
In 1929 the institutional strength
of Westinghouse advertising was
gathered in full newspaper pages,
for the most part rotogravure. The
success of the campaign is attested
by the Harvard Award.
Henry Ford's own dancing instruc­tors
are teaching the mountain boys
and girls of Georgia the old fashion­ed
dances of their mothers and fath­ers.
Mr. and Mrs. Ford, Sir Winifred
Grenville, noted scientist, and Lady
Grenville are here inspecting the Ber­ry
schools as the guests of Miss Mar­tha
Berry, director and founder of
the institution exclusively for the sons
and daughters of the hill country.
Several days before the arrival of
the manufacturer and his party, Mr.
and Mrs. G. S. Levet, Mr. Ford's
dancing instructors, came to the
schools to. teach the students the
quaint old quadrille, mazurka and
waltzes, famous among the old gener­ation.
And too, Mr. Ford sent along his
string orchestra with its Hungarian
cymbalon and the dulcimer. The
school musicians joined in and the mu­sicians
of the moderns and those of
"ye olden days," have been playing
together.
"Wednesday night and again last
night, Mr. and Mrs.- Ford personally
demonstrated the steps of the dances
of yesteryear and were applauded sev­eral
minutes by the admiring students.
The ease and grace of the Fords
brought forth praise from the youth­ful
students who stood along the walls
of the huge girls' school gymnasium
to watch the demonstration.
On the night of the arrival of the
party aboard the Ford private car,
the students gave a unique welcome.
Headed by the Fords and Miss Berry,
the stately procession passed through
two lanes formed by the 1,000 stu­dents
of the schols, each holding a
lighted candle.
The procession moved down beauti­ful
Remembrance drive and past the
lake to the girls' school campus. Here
the official reception by the students
ended and the party disbanded, re­tiring
to the log cottages where they
are guest's.
The cottages are built of Georgia
pine logs, furnished with rugs from
the hand looms operated by the girls
at the Sunshine cottage, the chairs
and tables in the rooms were made by
the student's.
The Fords are spending their visit
here in inspecting the 15,000 acres
owned by the schools.
Spring is in evidence about the cam­pus
and it is among the first golden
jonquills, now blooming along the
stepping stones leading to the log cot­tages
that Mr. Ford spends many
hours of his time.

Fifty Badger Students
Break Up 'Red' Parade
During a demonstration by the un­employed
of Madison, Wis., held
Thursday afternoon, five students of
the University of Wisconsin followed
by a group of fifty classmates charged
the small group of workers, tearing
down the banners of "Work or Wag-ges"
and scattered the communistic
literature over the streets. Accord­ing
to the students own statements
they were "smashing the red hand
of Russia", and "protecting the name
of the University." A search was
made for David Gordon, a student
leader of the demonstration.
E. J. Mittermyer, one of the stu­dent
ringleaders, in a statement to
the Daily Cardinal in defense of their
actions stated: "The United States
at large considers the University of
Wisconsin an I. W. W. radical insti­tution,
and since there is no way of
stopping these half baked undry-be-hind
the ears kids like David Gor­don
from giving us a. bad name, a
group of us decided to take the mat­ter
in hand."
The youth's section of the Trade
Union League of Madison released
the following statement attacking the
students' action: "The organized
hooliganism of a group of university
students, many wearing 'W' sweat­ers,
numeral sweaters, R. O. T. C.
uniforms, and many of them drunk,
at Thursday's demonstration of Madi­son's
jobless workers, is a clear ex­ample
of the re-actionary role in the
class struggle for which bourgeois
educational - institutions train the
American youth."

Germans Will Seek To
Understand America
"I want the young people of Ger­many
to know this great country as
I do," declared Dr. Frederick Schoe-nemann
of the University of Berlin,
a Denver visitor recently, whose mis­sion
in life, he says, is "to aid the
younger generation of my country to
understand America and its people
better."
"I want to do whatever I can, be
it ever so little, to foster a better
feeling between these two great na­tions,"
said Dr. Schoenemann. "We
can learn things from each other.
America is cultured, highly so. It is
a culture that appreciates art, and
appreciates the development of ar­tists.
I would squander all my mon­ey
buying American art if I could
afford it."
Dr. Schoenemann was exchange
professor at Harvard University for
ten years, from 1911 to 1920. He
was the only German citizen in the
American schools to be permitted to
continue teaching during the World
War.
Considered Germany's expert on
America and its life and literature,
Dr. Schoenemann heads the Depart-ment
of America at the University
of Berlin. He is credited with in­troducing
Sinclair Lewis and Martha
Ostenso, among other American au­thors,
to Germany. This is his first
visit to America since he reutrned
to Germany in 1920. He came to
America last October and will return
to his native land in April.

Unrequited affection, spurred by
hatred of the wife of the man she pro­fessed
to love, caused Lillian Jim-merson,
39-year-old Seneca Indian, to
invoke the witchcraft of the Iroquois
to accomplish through an aged Indian
dowan ally the slaying of Mrs. Cloth-ilde
Marchand, according to confes
sions police today said they had ob
tained from two Cattaurayos reserva
tion Indians.
Mrs. Marchand, the 50-year-old wife
of Henri Marchand, distinguished ar­tist-
sculptor of the Buffalo Museum
of Science, was beaten with a hammer
and choked to death with a' chloro­form-
soaked rag, by Mrs. Nancy Bow-en,
66-year-old Seneca Indian, the ac­cused
Indian woman admitted, police
said.
A 12-year-old son of Mrs. Marchand
found his mother's body on the floor
of their home, beneath an overturned
radio console and a heavy lamp. There
was evidence that she struggled hard
against her assailant before repeated
hammer'blows struck her down.
Taken prisoner in her Indian reser­vation
home by police, Miss Jimmer-son
finally revealed the hiding place
of Mrs. Bowen. Both were brought
to this city and after questioning by
Police Commissioner Austin J. Roche,
Miss Jimmerson admitted she had in­stigated
the slaying by playing on the
superstitions of her aged confederate,
police said.
Priceless Bowl Broken
By Careless Laborer
Detroit.—The Rhages bowl, one of
the world's rarest art treasures, val­ued
at $50,000 and own by Edsel Ford,
has been smashed into half a hundred
pieces.
It was wrecked by the carelessness
of a repairman, who dropped the wood­en
cover of the console on the price­less
bit of Persian pottery while he
was repairing the pipe organ in Ford's
home.
The art object is called the king
and queen's bowl by are collectors
the world over. It is said to be one
of the finest bits of polychrome pot­tery
in the whole world and dates
back to the eleventh century.
Since it came, into the possession
of Mr. Ford two years ago, art con­noisseurs
and dealers the world oyer
have visited the mansion for the priv­ilege
of a glance at the lovely thing.

STUDENTS FACE
HAZING COUNTS
RALEIGH—Presentments returned
by a Wake county grand jury against
seven former North Carolina State
college students as a result of a hazing
outbreak at the college last month
were placed upon the criminal docket
of Wake county superior'ieourt.
All of the seven were expelled from
college on the ground of hazing. Five
of the students, R. L. Smith, Greens­boro;
J."A. Ramsey, Salisbury; J. M.
Leroy, Jr., Elizabeth City; H. W.
Clark, Eufola, and W. Jerry Moore,
Harmony, were presented in connec­tion
with the hair cutting and beating
of Charles D. Kellenberger, Jr.,
Greensboro sophomore, on the night of
February 7 and the same five, and A.
T. Campbell and J. E. Lassiter, both
of Greensboro, were presented for cut­ting
the hair of L. A. MassengiH and
R. C. Pleasants, freshmen.
The presentments, signed by Grand
Jury Foreman P. D. Thomas, classify
both offenses as "unlawful hazing."
Solicitor L. S. Brassfield will send
bills of indictment against the stu­dents
to the grand jury when it re­convenes
Wednesday morning. Court
officials said it will be the first hazing
trial here in 10 years.
Kellenberger reported from his
home on February 9 that he had been
beaten in his room by five masked
men. President E. C. Brooks opened
an investigation and Smith, Campbell
and Lassiter were expelled February
""21. Four days later the other four
were dismissed. No intimation had
been made that criminal action would
be instituted.
Hazing is a misdemeanor in North
Carolina. It is punishable by a fine
or prison sentence, not exceeding two
years, or both.
The statute against hazing was
passed by the general assembly of
1913 following the death of Oliver
Rand, a student at the University of
North Carolina, as the result of a
hazing party which aroused great
public sentiment against the practice.
Is anything so nerve-wracking as
a nervous hostess?
Students Held On
Suspicion Of Murder
Pittsburgh—Walter O. Krebs and E
H. Bane, students, were rearrested to­day
after the death of Newell Gibson,
24, instructor of chemistry at Carnegie
Tech, who was shot Saturday'at the
Kreb's home where a party had been
in progress. Krebs and Bane will be
held pending disposition of the case
by the coroner.
Krebs, who is studying at the local
station of the United States Bureau
of Mines, told police after the shoot­ing
that Gibson was wounded while
they were struggling for a pistol,
which he feared might be accidentally
discharged. Gibson, in a statement
from his hospital bed Saturday night,
exonerated the students and they were
released under $250 bond each.
Bane, a University of Pittsburgh
law student of Uniontown, Pa., said
he was asleep at the time of the shoot­ing
which followed a party attended
by the three men and several young
women. Police said they were told
drinks were served.
Krebs and Gibson were classmates
at Yale, according to Krebs, who told
police the chemistry instructor was
one of his best friends.
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Gibson, of Green
Forest, Ark., parent's of the dead man,
arrived today. W. C. Gibson, mid­shipman
at Annapolis, a brother, also
is in the city.

DANCING
Dark Hollow, Va.—President Hoov­er's
mountain school has been closed
for a week on account of the illness
of Christine West, the teacher. She
hopes to be well enough to resume
classes soon.
The Yosemite, Ky., girl who feared
not copper-heads nor loneliness has
capitulated to the "flu." She has been
confined to the school house with only
Pauline Burraker, age 13, for com­pany.
Four and one half days after the
school opened and the eager pupils had
just learned to spell "cat," the teach­er
was forced to go to bed in the
bright, cheery room Mrs. Hoover had
furnished for her in the school house.
Dr. C. P. Ross of Criglersville, eight
miles away, has made almost daily
trips up the winding mountain road
and over the rock-strewn trail to
where the little school house is perch­ed
high on the purple slopes.
The whole mountain side is taking
care of the teacher. Little George
Burraker has struggled up the steep
incline from his home a quarter of
a mile away to carry wood for her.
Mrs. R. W. Clore of Criglersville
who is noted for having the softest
feather beds and the best chocolate
cake in Madison county, sends up milk
and flowers. The marines stationed
near the president's summer camp on
the Rapidaii take up her mail.
DAIRY DEPARTMENT
GETS NEW BUILDING,
MODERN EQUIPMENT
(Continued from page 1)
emphasis will be placed upon produc­tion,
because economic production is
the foundation of successful dairying,
he explained.
Beginning with the 1930-31 session
students at Auburn will have an op­portunity
to specialize in either dairy
production or dairy manufacturing.
Prof. Burke said. Graduate courses
will be offered also.
Short courses will be conducted for
farmers and those engaged in the
manufacturing of dairy products. The
present plan is to offer the first short
course in dairying during the Winter
of 1930-31.
The new animal husbandry and
dairy building will include a. creamery
with the most modern equipment for
manufacturing butter, ice cream,
cheese and producing market milk,
and also for condensed milk. It is
also a classroom, office and labora­tory
building.
This creamery will be operated as
part of the course of instruction. Stu­dents
will participate in the operation
in order to get practical experience.
Plans for enlargement of dairy
work at Auburn were announced by
President Knapp one year ago. The
aim is to develop dairying as a major
part of Alabama agriculture. It will
be done along with cotton, feed crops
and other livestock which means the
addition of another cash crop for
which farmers and business men have
been seeking. It also distributes the
labor load throughout the year, pro­duces
a weekly income and improves
the soil;—three advantages needed by
cotton farmers.
While training men as dairy pro­ducers
Auburn will be training others
to master the intricate problems of
manufacturing, Prof. Burke said. Re­cent
developments in manufacturing
have created a demand for men with
special training, and this demand is
to be met at Auburn.
BLUE KEY EXPRESSES

of a loyal and interested student
body."
Commenting on the standing of
athletics at present in the plains the
popular coach said that "altho the
coaching staff was short, the rela­tions
between officials and athletes
was the best that could be expected
and that the work being done was
all that could be desired." Express­ing
the gratitude of the athletic de­partment
for the cooperation of Blue
Key and a considerate student corps,
Coach McFaden said, that "the mak­ing
of strong athletic teams will be
largely determined by the confidence
in the physical education staff of
alumni and students."
"The failure or success of select­ing
a head coach of national reputa­tion
by Dr. Knapp is anxiously await­ed,
but the real work is to take place
here, the coach stated." Being in
close association with the athletic
department the Blue Key Honor So­ciety
pledged their continued coopera­tion
and support.
African Educator
Here To Study Ala.
Methods Of Teaching
The African flapper with rings in
her nose and ears and her brothers
are capable of strong intellectual at­tainments
once the superstitions of
her race are abandoned and the light
of civilization has pierced the veil of
ignorance under which the race has
labored for centuries.
Such is the opinion of Dr. J. D.
Rheinallt Jones, of the South African
Institute of Race Relations and pro­fessor
at the University of Johannes­burg,
South Africa, who was in Mont­gomery
yesterday. Dr. Jones was a
visitor at the State Deaprtment of
Education and discussed with officials
the methods of training the negro in
Alabama, with a view of studying the
Alabama methods and applying them,
insofar as practical to the training
of African natives.
In Africa the people are not known
as negroes, Dr. Jones said, but as na­tives.
They cling to the ago old su­perstitions
and attribute the various
moods of the elements to "spirits."
The rythmic beat of the tom-tom and
the wierd shouts of the natives still
ring through the air, despite the great
advance of civilization into their coun­try
in the past few years. Dr. Jones
estimated that in the South African
country controlled by Great Britian
there are 4,500,000 natives, of which
3,000,000 have yet to avail themselves
of the civilizing influences.
There are two factors, he said, that
promise te bring light into the oblivion
in which Africa has been submerged
for years. There are Christianity and
education. They work hand in hand,
he said, for until the native rejects
the superstitions that characterize the
reeligions of his ancestors, there can
be small hope to educate and enlighten
him. The workers are concentrating
chiefly in teaching the children and
the experience a great handicap
through the different languages of
different tribes. Once the African
grasps the significance of what is
beinge taught him he is capable of
going far into the realm of science
and other fields for his mind is keen,
alert.
Dr. Jones cited as an example an
African couple who discarded their su­perstitions
and accepted Christianity.
They wanted their young son to re­ceive
all education possible. Accord­ingly
he was trained in the Johannes­burg
School and sent from there to
Tuskegee Institute. He was graduat­ed
with a high record from Tuskegee
and entered the University of Minne­sota
where he spent three years. From
Minnesota he went to Northwestern
University for five years. He then
attended a university at Budapest for
six months and a university at Edin­burgh,
Scotland, where he received his
legal training in three months. He
holds several degrees and is now prac­ticing
medicine at Johannesburg. His
name is Dr. Xumas, and great good
has come to his people as a result of
his work, Dr; Jones said.

New Indian Laws
Be Recommended
Washington —(IP)—A number of
changes in the laws bearing on In­dian
affairs are to be recommended
by the U. S. Indian bureau, it has be­come
known here.
President Hoover, who is known to
be behind the proposed changes, said
that they would be for the purpose
of assuring better administration of
large properties owned by the Indians
and to correct many things in the
administration of these properties in
a way to encourage Indian citizenship.
"I have emphasized," the presi­dent
declared, "the necessity for re­organization
and progress in the In­dian
bureau by the appointment of
Commissioner Rhoads as head of the
bureau and James Scattergood as his
assistant.
"We have presented to Congress,"
he added, "a request for an increased
appropriation of some $3,000,000 for
next year's budget and in the mean­time
we have submitted an estimate
in the deficiency bill for some in­crease
for the balance of this year.
The purpose of these increases, the
president said, are mainly to build
up the education and health facili­ties
and to develop industrial im­provement
of the Indians.

For the first time in history an an­nual
loss of less than a million acres
of forest land burned over in Ala­bama
has occurred. This year 1929
witnessed damage by fire to but ap­proximately
two and eight-tenths per
cent of the twenty-three million acres
of woodland in the state, according
to the compilations of the State Com­mission
of Forestry.
The total number of fires amount­ed
to 18,348. The total area burned
over was about 644,411 acres. Light­ning
caused 8 fires, railroads 3577,
lumbering 2,397, brush burning 8,371,
camp fires 379, smokers 3,801, incen­diaries
2,011, while 1,024 were the re­sult
of miscellaneous causes.
Fires burning one-quarter acre or
less numbered 464, those more than
one-quarter acre and less than ten
acres numbered 8,101, while 9,783
fires were ten acres or more in ex­tent.
The proportion of forest land burn­ed
in the organized forestral districts,
comprising the areas of greater haz­ard,
was about two and one-tenth per
cent, while in the unorganized terri­tory,
consisting of the localities of
more scattered tracts of woodland and
lower hazard, it amounted to approxi­mately
three and seven-tenths per
cent.
In terms of one person per fire,
it is estimated that 10,207 persons
engaged in fighting fires without
compensation from the state. Of
these 7,377 were farmers and stock­men,
224 were railroad employees,
1,892 were lumbermen's employees,
while other volunteers numbered 624.
Private equipment was used in fire
suppression to a hire value of $507.89.
The total money value of volunteer
fire fighting efforts on the part of
landowners and others is estimated
at $6,512.88. In addition to these
contributions, the .State and Federal
Governments expended $66,213.03,
while private and other agencies un­der
State supervision contributed
$16,639.05, making a recorded total of
$89,364.96 expended in forest fire pro­tection,
or less than four-tenths of
one cent per acre.
The comparatively low forect fire
damage sustained by the state during
1929 was due very largely to the ex­cessive
rainfall, although increased
alertness on the part of landowners
and wider adoption of forestral prac­tices
were important factors. As us­ual
most of the fire damage was sus­tained
during the winter months when
the periods of rainfall are alternat­ed
with exceedingly dry westerly or
northerly winds.

Colored bindings—red, blues and

Fourteen million bibles and testa

trip. It is necessary that at least
twenty-five students make the trip
to secure the $2.39 rate (one fare
plus twenty-five cents). Tickets will
be good through Sunday night.
The trip will mark the first time

Savannah, Ga.—Henry Ford today
has available 25,000 acres in Georgia
farm land for use in aiding Thomas
A. Edison's rubber making experi­ments
from goldenrod.
The purchase of the famous old
Vallambrosia plantation, 14 miles west
of Savannah with its 4,000 to 5,000
acres was announced today. The sale
price was not made public but J. B.
Budreau, from whom the place was
purchased, recently valued the proper­ty
at $150,000.
The plantation fronts for five miles
along the Ogeechee river, directly op­posite
Mr. Fords vast holdings in
Bryan county, in the goldenrod coun­try,
where Mr. Edison's experiments
are now in progress.
The residence at Valllambrosia is
about 100 years old and one of the
finest plantation homes in Georgia's
coastal region. In addition to the
house, a spacious barn, a large brick
packing house and a private railway
siding adds to its value.

autograph phonograph records sold
afterward, the students staged a riot
so he had to call out the police.
