STAGE SET FOR GRADUATION 200 SENIORS
DANCE TONIGHT WILL CLOSE
ANNUAL SENIOR CLASS PROM
Mayifard Baird's Orchestra
Commended for Music furn­ished
Dancers
OVER 100 GIRLS ATTEND
DANCE HELD LAST NIGHT
Bringing to a close the social ac­tivities
of this year, the last of the
Senior Dances will be held in the Col-
'ege Gym tonight.
The dances were formally opened
last night when Miss Majorie Moody
and Henry Reeves, Jr., led the Grand
March in which almost a hundred
couples participated. The couples
marched down the dance floor while
Maynard Baird's Southland Serenad­e
s were playing the Maine "Stein
Song."
Dance enthusiasts report that this
was the best first-night dance to be
held here in several years. There
were praises for the decorations, for
the orchestra and its music, and for
the general manner in. which the So­cial
•^oiSmittee arranged the dance.
Almost one hundred fifty girls were
in attendance at the dance last night;
they represented almost every state
in the South.
The Gym was attractively decorat­ed
as a Japanese Tea Garden. The
color scheme of pink and green was
carried out effectively. Streamers of
these colorsVere strung from all parts
of the dance floor to a lattice canopy
which was placed high above the mid­dle
of the floor.
. Scores of brightly, vari-colored Jap­anese
lanterns were hung about the
hall, making a striking effectiveness
with the pink and green streamers.
At each entrance of the Gym floor
were lattice gates, which were cov­ered
with vines and blooming flowers.
Placed about the walls were small
trellises decorated in the same manner.
Cedar trees were placed about the
hall.
Hanging from the lattice canopy
was a large chandelier, from which
were hanging streamers which ser­ved
further to carry out the colors.
The orchestra was situated on a
platform which was decorated with
the colors.
Maynard Baird's Southland Seren-aders,
which scored a tremendous hit
at the Sophomore Dances this year,
-was again acclaimed by the dancers.
The Brunswick recording orchestra,
hich has been playing and broad-asting
from the Hotel Andrew John-on,
Knoxville, Tennessee, was com­mended
for its originality in acts and
skits and the music which was played.
One act, the "School Day" skit, re­ceived
particularly favorable com­ment.
It was originated and written
by the director of the ten-piece orches­tra.
Baird, when he leaves Auburn, will
go to Fort Benning, Georgia, to play
for dances there, and from Columbus
he will go to Bay City, Michigan,
where he opens a large dance pavilion.
The Serenaders recently signed with
the Music Corporation of America for

Students Starting Monday, May 19
Glomeratas will be ready to be dis­tributed
among the seniors Monday,
May 19, and members of the other
'classes will be able to secure copies of
;the annual by Thursday. Student's
jire urged by the staff to call for
jthem promptly.
Through the constant efforts of the
[staff the desire for a larger, more
[voluminous, more colorful and humor­ous
annual has been realized. The
. new book will be decorated with a blue
and gold cover. The unique design
trill show a golden tiger crouching as
Ihe crawls over rocks strewn over the
Surface of the wild area represented
an the cover. A harmonious blue
(background and the well-defined feat­ures
of the tiger are only an example
of the artistic work exhibited through­out
the 'volume.
Other features of the 360-page an­nual
are the numerous snapshots and
characteristic humor throughout; the
forty-page athletic section showing
individual pictures and action snap­shots
of the athletes; the ten-page
beauty section of unusual charm; the
improved fraternity panels, in which
the individual pictures of the members
are shown more distinctly than in
previous issues; the free use of color­ful
and humorous cartoons; the en­larged
size to 9x12 inches; and hum­orous
other special attractions with
which the staff hopes to make it one
ofe the biggest and best Glomeratas
ever published.
That in the future, fifth year men
will not be recognized as members of
the Senior Class, was decided by the
Executive Cabinet at the last meet­ing
of the Cabinet, held Thursday. It
was reported that there was much
debating on the question, but the de­cision
was finally reached.
Seven men were elected to member­ship
on the Social Committee to serve
next year. Sabel Shanks, chairman,
and T. G. Amason, treasurer, who re­cently
elected; Rex Sikes, and Earnest
Bell will be senior members; Render
Cross, J. D. Bush, and Harry Culver
are the junior members; and Frank
Smith and John May are the new
sophomore members.
A petition for the formation of a
biological club was unanimously ap­proved.
The Cabinet will resume activities
at the opening of the fall term.
Senior Class Play
Given by Auburn Hi
"The First Year" Ii Presented Fri-day
Night at Langdon Hall
The Auburn High School presented
its Senior Class play last night, en­titled
"The First Year," by Frank
Cravens, at Langdon Hall.
It was a three act comedy farce of
first year married life.
The cast was composed of the fol­lowing:
Margaret Kennedy, Robert
Rutland, Mary Emma Jones, William
Craft, Wayne Powell, Collins Came­ron,
Robert Slocumb, Nell Isbell, and
Kathryn Ward. The play was direct­ed
by Wyoline Hestor.
After five years of service with the
R. O. T. C. unit, Capt. B. C. Ander­son
will leave Auburn at the end of
the present session of college. He has
been transferred by the United States
War Department at Fortj Sill, Okla­homa,
and will report there during the
summer.
Coming to Auburn as> a stranger
five years ago, Capt. Aiderson soon
identified himself with the affairs of
the town as well as the college. Since
that time he has been active in civic
and educational affairs, and is recog­nized
as an outstanding leader.
He served one year as president of
the Auburn Kiwanis Club and has
served also the same organization in
other capacities.
Because of his popularity at Au­burn
and a special request of Presi­dent
Bradford Knapp his period of
service here was extended a year ago
from the original period of four
years to five.
Three New Courses Be
Given In Architecture
Landscape Architecture, Interior
Decorating, Commercial Arts
Courses Will be Offered
Three new four-year degree courses
in the School of Architecture and
Allied Arts will be available to stu­dents
at Auburn next fall. The
courses are as follows: landscape ar­chitecture;
interior decoration; and
commercial and graphic arts. Stu­dents
who desire to change their pres­ent
courses to any of these may see
Dean Biggin, head of the Architectur­al
School.
The landscape architecture course
given in cooperation with the School
of Agriculture, will be for the bene
fit of students who desire to become
practicing landscape architects, or to
serve as landscape specialists in ar
chitects' offices, or to act as designing
members of nursery corporations.
The course in interior decoration is
intended for those who expect to be­come
practicing interior decorators,
department designers of furniture and
hangings, or purchasing agents or
salesmen for house furnishing estab­lishments.
The course in commercial and
graphic arts will be offered to students
who wish to prepare for professional
work in commercial advertising.
Tapping fifteen men who had been
chosen for membership, the Blue Key
Honor Society, at its reserve dance
held this morning, notified members
of the class of 1931 that they had
been elected to the society. The new

Davis, R. F. Ham, Hugh Ellis, How­ard
Gray, Dunham Harkins, W. S.
Myrick, Rex Sikes, R. L. Lovvorn,
Sabel Shanks, W. C. Jones, A. C.
Taylor, and Kelley Sullivan.
The society performed a unique
ceremony at its morning dance, tap­ping
their selected men and con­ferring
upon them pledge ribbons
after the first Blue Key lead-out
had been announced. The old mem­bers
and the pledges then took part
in a reserve dance. One more lead-out
was given the members of the
society during the early hop.
Immediately following the dance
the society held an initiation ban­quet
in the Baptist Church.
The newly initiated members of
Blue Key constitute one of the most
representative groups on the campus,
almost every phase of campus activi­ties
being represented on the roster.
The members who have not been dis­cussed
following former honor society
elections are: Sable Shanks, Phi Kap­pa
Delta social fraternity, president
of Beta Alpha Sigma, Spiked Shoe,
and chairman-elect of the Social Com­mittee;

social fraternity, past manager of the
basketball team; A. C. Taylor, sports

Roger J. Kiley, all-American end at
Notre Dame in 1921 and head coach
at Loyala University, Chicago, for
five years after graduating from the
University of Notre Dame, has been
selected as assistant coach here by
Head Coach Chester A. "Chet" Wynne
Kiley has been practicing law in
Chicago since 1922 and is only sus­pending
his law practice in the Windy
City for three months to aid Coach
Wynne because he is a close personal
friend of Auburn's new grid master.
Kiley has agreed to come to Auburn
for only three months next season as
he cannot leave his law practice for a
longer period of time.
Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame
highly recommends Kiley as he did
Coach Wynne. Wynne and Kiley
played together at Notre Dame, both
being chosen by the late Walter Camp
on one of his Ail-American elevens.
The post of head coach, vacated at
Creighton University by Coach Wynne
was offered to Kiley, but he declined,
because of business reasons.

THE PLAINSMAN
—welcomes the many beautiful visitors in
Auburn for the dances and Commence­ment
exercises, also that vast group of
Alumni who have returned to Auburn after
a half century lapse to have their class re­union.
Of course, reunions have been'
held before of these same classes, but it
is significant to have some of Auburn's
oldest classes meeting here again.
—bids a fond farewell to the student body
for this year. The hope has been expressed
that next year a more coordinated effort
by the students will bring about greater
things for the institution.
—editorial staff takes this last opportunity
to express its appreciation to members of
the news staff, of the business staff, and
of the student body, who have worked so
diligently this past year that this paper.
could serve Auburn in a greater capacity
than ever before. The cooperation of the
staff proves more than any other one thing
the presence of a loyalty that is not found
in Auburn in another activity. This desire
to see that the Plainsman would get the
best in them has caused some to drop all
other work for the sake of getting a story.
The Plainsman appreciates this, for only
through the sacrifices of some is it able to
survive in a fitting manner.
Mention can also be made here of the
loving cup given to the best freshman re­porter
by the Kiwanis. Club of Auburn.
This year Lewis Bischoff and Claude Cur­rey
were adjudged to be on a par, as to
newspaper attitude, excellence, and ability.
These two were called on to decide the
winner, and Bischoff was lucky enough to
win, but this does not make Bischoff supe-rior.
They are both excellent newspaper­men.
Commencement Program
To Be Broadcast This Year
Following the example, begun* last year,
of broadcasting the commencement, exer­cises,
it has been announced that again this
year the exercises will be broadcast over
the State, with more time being devoted to
the activities that are at their height at
this time of the year.
We have long felt that all programs
broadcast from Auburn are appreciated to
' a very great extent by the people,of Ala­bama
and friends of the Institution, and
we lately have proof that such is the case.
Certainly, now that the Commencement ex­ercises,
the senior dances, and the vesper
services are to be broadcast, there will be
more appreciation and meaning in the
broadcasts for those who are friends and
relatives of the graduation students, and
for those who are more or less familiar with
Auburn. Because many parent's will be
unable to attend the graduation exercises,
there should be many "listening in" to the
addresses of prominent speakers and to the
reading of the names of those, who by hard
work and application to their studies, are
now prepared to enter a field from which
graduation will be dependent upon the abil­ity
of the individual.
We are proud of every graduate that has
ever left Auburn, and we are proud of this
opportunity that gives the people of Ala­bama,
and surrounding states, the privilege
of hearing of these graduates and the hon­ors
that have been made by the more dili­gent
among them.
Interesting Alumni Day
Planned For Monday
Alumni Day, which is to be held this year
on Monday, May 19, has a particularly in­teresting
program arranged and if indica­tions
are true, will be well attended by the
old graduates of the institution.
The competitive drill of the R. O. T. C.
unit has been set at 7:20 a. m. to make way
for a review to be held at 9:00 and at 11
there is to be a meeting of the Alumni as­sociation.
In the afternoon at 1:00 comes
the Alumni Barbecue followed by a baseball
game. The dedication of the Ross Chemical
Laboratory and the Memorial exercises for
Dr. Ross is to be held at 5:00 p. m. The
last event of the day is the Festival of
Lights and the general reception on the
campus in front of Langdon Hall at 8:00.
Dr. Bradford Knapp's statement concern­ing
the dedication and memorial exercises
is as follows: "I am particularly anxious
that the dedication of this wonderful new
chemical laboratory named in honor of Dr.
Ross will be well attended and that the
proper tribute be paid him by the alumni
and I hope that alumni will make their
plans to be present during the entire day
and participate in the services."
This Alumni Day has a particular lure
for the old graduates in that it will enable
them to meet once again their old friends
and former classmates on a common ground,
their Alma Mater, and discuss old times
among themselves. Memories dear to the
hearts of all alumni will be brought forth
upon their return and in addition they will
be afforded the opportunity to see the vast
number of improvements made in the school
since their last visit. There is every reason
to look forward to a most successful day
both for the alumni and for the students
and The Plainsman cannot but urge that
as large a number as possible attend.
The Textile Building
Now Under Construction
Ground was broken a week ago for the
new textile building representing an in­vestment
of around $185,000, and from the
amount of work completed the building will
be finished well under the contract limit set
for September 1.
The edifice is to be of the most modern
mill type and is to contain all the depart­ments
that the most up-to-date commercial
mills contain. During the first semester of
next year the equipment will be installed
by the textile students under the direction
of Professor E. W. Camp, head of the .tex­tile
school. The installation of this eauip-ment
by these students Will be of distinct
advantage in that it will carry a pecuniary
reward and will thoroughly acquaint them
with the different machinery used and the
problems connected with the installation.
The beginning of this year saw the in­stallation
of a textile engineering course
under the head of one of the most capable
textile educators procurable, Dr. Camp. Al­though
there .was no equipment, no build­ing,
in fact nothing except an organized
course offered, between thirty and forty
students registered in this subject during
the first semester. The completion of this
building will mark the end of this period of
annoyance and inconvenience for the textile
students and the enrollment in this course
will increase from four to five times the
present number.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH
The outside world is taking notice of the
remarkable growth in population of some of
the cities in the South, as revealed by ad­vance
census reports. An analysis made
by The Watertown Times, up in New York,
brings out the point that in 1920 there were
12 cities with a population of over 100,000
in 13 Southern States. The five largest
cities in the South in the order of their
size, were New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas,
Birmingham and Memphis. New Orleans,,
it is indicated, will retain its position as the
largest city in the South, but there may be
changes in the other five. Houston and
Louisville, for example, may win places
there.
Among the Southern cities which have
had a large growth during the past decade
are Tampa, Jacksonville and Miami in Flor­ida,
Savannah in Georgia, Oklahoma City
and Tulsa in Oklahoma, and Nashville and
Knoxville in Tennessee. This has been due
largely to the great development of indus­try
in the.South within the past 10 years.
North Carolina and Alabama have especially
profited as a result.
The concluding observation by The Times
is that "the movement from the farm to
the city was later in getting under way in
the South than it was in the North, but
now it is in full swing. Florida and Geor­gia
have profited greatly from the tourist
trade. Florida, particularly, will show a
great increase in population as a result of
this influx from the North. The South,
long the section of farm and plantation, is
rapidly becoming a country of great cities."
And honestly, The Observer doubts if it
should be happy over prospect of that kind.
It has been long content with its equipment
of cities of moderate size, backed, as in
North Carolina, by large, groups of towns
of the highest quality.
And there comes possibility that the re­cent
impetus to Southern population may
give this section a newv distinction, now, or
by the next census, at least. It will be
that of "the center of population," held by
Indiana for the past 40 years. Chief Geog­rapher
of the Census Batschlet, gives his
opinion, from "observation and experience,"
that the West will continue the center of
population, but that the theoretical point
will shift from Whitehead, Ind. He is cer­tain
that* it will continue its journey of 140
years westward and may probably reach
the State of Illinois. Historically, the first
announced center of population of this
.country was in 1790, when the location was
23 miles east of Baltimore. The center of
population is based upon the balancing of
hypothetical weightless United States, and
the population, when closer to the center,
does not have as much weight as when fur­ther
from the point of balance. It is be­cause
of this that the gains by California
have so much weights in bringing the cent­er
westward.
It cannot be predicted at this time-, Mr.
Batschlet says, whether the center will move
North or South, as many incidents of the
last 10 years, he significantly says, will af­fect
the trend. The rush to Florida some
years ago, the automobile industry around
Michigan, the oil boom in Oklahoma, all
have some effect upon the shifting of the
center.
ENGINEERS IN AMERICAN LIFE
Men of science are assuming a dominant
position in American life, Lawrence W. Wal­lace,
executive secretary of the American
Engineering Council, declared in an address
at a recent meeting of the American So­ciety
of Mechanical Engineers.
By supplementing with broad humanistic
and scholarly interests the technical genius
responsible for the machine age, they are
Becoming a controlling force in culture and
politics, no less than in commerce and in­dustry,
in finance, in education and in na­tional
defense according to Mr. Wallace.
Of the 28,805 notable living men and
women of the United States named in "Who
is Who in America," men of science com­prise
30.4 per cent, lawyers 15.2 per cent
and physicians and surgeons 7.3 per cent.
"The hope and promise once pictured for
the engineering profession are being ful­filled,"
said Mr. Wallace. "For the indica­tions
are that men of science are becoming
the organizers and directors of the civilizing
energies of the world in the interest of all
mankind."
In the Federal Government, the President,
the secretary of the interior, the secretary
of commerce and the director of the budget
are among the men of science holding im­portant
positions. Engineers hold a large
number of responsible offices in the various
branches of the Government.
If "Who's Who" be taken as the
standard for measurement, South Carolina
needs more engineers and men of science
in prominent positions. Onty o n e resident
of this State is listed as an engineer in that
volume. About 10 others could be listed as
men of science, although some of them may
also be classified as educators. The scien­tific
group is small in comparison with oth­ers
: public office, 29; education 51; law 22;
business 34; clergy 28; Journalism, with 12
representatives and authorship with 7, are,
respectively just above and just below the
men of science. However, there is much
overlapping invocations. For instance,
many of those, in the public office classifi­cation
are also lawyers. Only one man is
set down as a cotton planter.-—Columbia
State.
"RED" CAGLE
"Red" Cagle, West Point football hero,
is in a bog of his own making. First he
violated the spirit of his agreement with
the government that had borne the ex­pense
of his university education by an­nouncing,
before his graduation, that he
would not give his country four years of
military service but instead would resign
to be a high-priced football coach or bond
salesman. This irritated the War Depart­ment
which promptly rebuked him in a
puhjic statement.
Thereupon it was discovered that Cagle
had been secretly married for two years.
Here he had not only violated the spirit of
an obligation but the letter of the law. A
cadet may not marry. He did marry, and
a few days before his graduation his resig­nation
is requested and accepted. Now he
will be denied the honor and satisfaction of
graduating with his class. He may go im­mediately
to his bride, and he must go to
work—either as football coach or as bond
salesman.
The War Department had to take a
stand in these circumstances. It had to
act with vigor and directness or see its
military academy discredited. No educa­tional
institution can hesitate to enforce
discipline agains* its most popular athlete
and retain its prestige, least of all an in­stitution
maintained by the United States
Government.—Montgomery Advertiser.
The Gecko
I'm the Gecko who thinks the library is
a boiler factory. I always make plenty of
noise. Of course, I know that some people
do not like to be disturbed, but I do not
let this deter me from making plenty of
noise. When I can't yell across the room
at some student, I can at least jabber in­coherently
at someone else, thus having to
repeat things at least twice. Why should
I be quiet? I am paid to keep others quiet
—not to be quite myself.

Statistics show that women spend more

SERENADING LICENSES
Licenses must now be obtained by Wis­consin

harmlessly singing td them. Last Friday
seven ambitious students rented a truck,
collected all available horns and filled the
air with music. Their romance died, how­ever,
when the law approached and escort­ed
them to the local jail to pay a fine of $5

he protested too vigorously. Hares-foot,

they intend to apply for one at a later date.

Now this is a very striking,
drastic method of going about securing
recognition from the officials of the col­lege,
but after all college students are, and
should be practically capable of some gov­erning
ability. They are practically grown
and if it is ever intended that they have
any sense it will be beginning to show up
some—so when a student body, or any
part of the mass which is vitally concerned
with a problem asks the administration
for aid or protection it should at least be
given a consideration and not an emphat­ic
"No", or at least enough notice to show
a little respect.

IN A few days Auburn will graduate over
two hundred seniors. This group will
enter a competitive world, possibly well-equipped
in the mere technicalities of their
profession, men able to carry on the ma­terial
progress of the world, yet lacking
woefully in the cultural aspects. I do not
mean to single out this particular group,
but my implication is that Auburn gradu­ates
and Auburn men are not educated
enough in the liberal arts to broaden their
views in order to create an intelligent in­terest
in the best of modern civilization.
We are mechanical. The innate desire to
gratify both the nobler and finer part's of
our nature is suppressed before the dulling
mechanisms of ritual and form. All spec­ulative
thought is branded as radicalism,
and any variance from Auburn conventions
is considered the unpardonable sin. The
said conventions seem to be a hopeless mix­ture
of barbarisms, eighteenth century
ideas, and a kind of native pride in vulgari­ty.
4fl
The greater part of these graduates will
be absorbed in the machinery of economic
strife. Men who just live. One without
any initiative or visions can not advance
from the mediocre. The thing encouraged
in the formative period is crushed by the
steam roller of facts and formulae.
A college education, limited by narrow
texts,- for they are man's work, can not
broaden the individual enough to be classed
as an educated man. The creative power is
nil in our present system. We have no ap­preciation
for beauty, for art, in fact, for
nothing hut materialism. Rather than be­ing
educated to live we are instructed to
make money.
Unfortunately this seems to be the trend
of all American instructions, but .Auburn
has carried the idea to the extreme. It
has been my observation and personal em-barassment
to note that Auburn men are
hopelessly lost in conversation with other
college men, when the topic approaches the
realm of aspiration. Any mention of phil­osophical
thought to Auburn men is con-native
of the effeminate. We enjoy the
reputation of brutes, and pride ourselves in
our primative characteristics.
I am not writing from the view point of
the philosopher or social reformer, but as
a helpless victim who realizes his fate, and
the deplorable lack of culture and refine­ment
in the student body.
I do not doubt that many of the more
technically-minded will thoroughly disagree
with me, giving the proverbial answer that
Auburn is primarily an engineering school.
Yet every man, regardless of his trade, is
entitled to live the fullest life.
Although the matter has been mentioned
before, no action has been taken towards
the establishment of a course in philosophy.
It is my opinion that the establishment of
such a study is essential to the Greater Au­burn
movement, and it would be very grat­ifying
to me to see the inauguration of such
a course with the beginning of next year.

STUDENTS RIOT
IN PROTESTING
'DRY SNOOPING'
Police, Firemen Called to Break
Up Demonstration at Uni­versity
of Chicago
Chicago, May 14.—A riotous dem­onstration
staged by nearly 500 Uni­versity
of Chicago students as a pro­test
against the campus activities of
"Dry snoopers," caused police to pa­trol
the university's grounds today as
a safeguard against further out­breaks.
The students, who gathered on the
campus late Tuesday night and start­ed
a huge bonfire, engaged police and
firemen in a strenuous battle and were
not dispersed until they had been
thoroughly drenched by a high-pres­sure
fire hose.
Immediate investigation of the mob
demonstration was ordered by univer­sity
deans and four students were ar­rested
as ringleaders in the riot.
Resentment arising from reports
last week that undercover operatives

were to be present at all future re­hearsals
of a play soon to be given by
the Black Friars Dramatic club, was
said to have prompted the demonstra­tion.
Watchmen who were believed to
have told of secret back-stage drink­ing
at the rehearsals, disappeared
when the students threatened to toss
them into the botany pond.
As co-eds cheered from the windows
of their dormitories, the demonstra­tors
paraded to the campus circle and
there tore timbers .fromtennis stands

was soaked with gasoline and set on

"Bring out the snoopers," yelled the
students, as they did a snake dance

Squads of police arrived shortly af­terward,
firing a volley of revolver
shots into the air in an effort to quell
the disturbance. The students booed.

made liberal but ineffectual use
of their clubs, fire fighting crews
were summoned. The firemen, after
Predicts End Of
Political Groups
Oberlin, O.—(IP)—A possible
end to the period when membership
in a political party is a matter of
"biology" rather than intelligence,
and the probable increase of the im­portance
of non-political groups in
forcing political action were seen by
Dr. J. W. Gardner, professor of po­litical
science at the University of
Illinois, who spoke before the two-day
Causey conference at v;berlin
College here.
The general subject of the confer­ence
was "The Future of Political
Parties."
The two-party system of democrat­ic
government is peculiarly Anglo-
Saxon, Dr. Gardner said, and appears
to be much more practical if not
more logical than the many party
system of the continent.
He predicted that America never
will have an effective third party
but that the Republicans and the
Democrats will be forced to take
up new issues and different, ones by
an elightened electorate which no
longer fears to shift its vote from
one party to the other.
He was challenged in this, how­ever,
by Dr. John Dewey, professor
of philosophy at Columbia Univer­sity,
dean of American philosophers,
and Norman Thomas, socialist lead­er,
both of whom declared the only
salvation of the American political
system is the formation of another
party to break up the similarity be­tween
the two major parties.
Both Dr. Dewey and Thomas de­clared
the two parties are now like
two automobiles.. If one breaks
down, the other can be used to get
us to the same place in the same
way.

Crater Lake, Ore. —(IP)—Captain
A. W. Stevens, photographic expert of
the Army Air Corps, recently set a
new record for long distance photog­raphy
when, from an airplane flying
20.000 feet above Crater Lake, Ore.,
he took a picture covering a distance
of 270 miles in a single exposure.
This was fifty miles farther than
ever had been included in one picture
before, the longest distance ever hav­ing
been photographed before being
227 miles by Captain Stevens last
year. r_
The record photograph gives a re­markably
clear picture of several
mountain ranges stretching northward
to the high peak of Mount Ranier,
14,000 feet above sea level, which was
270 miles distant.
Crescent Lake and Diamond Peak
appear in the foreground, then follow
the Three Sisters, 125 miles away,
next Mount Jefferson, 175 miles away,
next Mount Hood, 200 miles away, and
finally, in lone majesty on the hori­zon,
Mount Ranier.
The lens was perfected by Captain
Stevens and is so deep red that it ap­pears
black to the eye. This unusual
shade is actually a light filter, which
enables the camera to venture into
distance which no ordinary camera
could register. In addition, a highly
sensitive film was used.
Captain Stevens took the picture
from an airplane piloted by Lieuten­ant
John Corkille. They took off from
Mather field, near Sacramento, Cali.,
at 6:30 a. m. and climbed steadily for
an hour as they sped northward.
When the plane reached the upper air­lines
near Crater Lake, the altimeter
registered 20,000 feet and the ther­mometer
20 degrees below zero.
"We did not mind the low tempera­ture,"
said Captain Stevens, "as much
as the lack of oxygen in the air. We
got the oxygen we needed from a
liquid oxygen supply, but finally had
to come down after four hours when
our supply was exhausted.
"Shooting at Mt. Rainier from a
distance greater than between New
York City and Washington is much
like shooting at the moon, with the dif­ference
that you can see the moon.
The principle task is to aim the cam­era
in the general direction that you
believe your object to be, snap the
trigger and hope for luck.
"While I am very well satisfied
with the results obtained on this par
ticular mission, I am inclined to be­lieve
that it will only be a matter of
time before we can develop a camera
that will record even greater dis­tances.
"Before we can use it, however, we
must have a photographic plane that
will take us up considerably higher
than 20,000 feet, because from that al­titude
even an object as tall as Mount
Rainier will sink below the horizon at
300 miles."
Harvard Students
Have Bottle Fight
Cambridge, Mass. —(IP)—A water
bottle fight between dormitory stu­dents
at Harvard University is be
lieved to have started a riot at the
University which resulted in 1500 pa
jamas clad undergraduates clashing
with 40 policemen and injuring sev
eral of their number.
Two freshmen, one from Missouri
and one from Boston, were taken to
the college infirmary at the height of
the battle after they were the targets
for bottles hurled during the melee.
Carrol H. Parker, secretary of the
Phillips Brooks Association and one
of the most prominent students on the
Harvard campus, was arrested during
the riot and later booked on a charge
of disturbing the peace. He was clad
in pajamas.

Santa Cruz, Cal.—(IP)—"You can
not arrest me," declared the young
trout fisherman, "my father is a state
senator."
"I can't, eh?" the deputy game
warden is quoted as saying, "well, my
brother is president of the United

And sure enough he was, for the
deputy game warden was Prof. Theo­dore
Hoover, brother of the president,
dean of the school of engineering at
Sanford University, who gets $1 a
year for his deputy job.
He was walking through his estate
in the Santa Cruz mountains when he
saw Roy Fellom, Jr., 19, whose father
is a state senator, and two other
youths, fishing for trout.
Prof. Hoover followed the boys, and
after finding that they had taken
more trout than the law allows, ap­prehended
them.
Then he pleaded with officials for
leniency, and the case was postponed
until Aug. 15.

PARENTS COMMITS SUICIDE
New York—(IP)—In a mood of de­pression

junior, and son of a wealthy
New York man, leaped to his death
from a sixth floor of his parent's ap-partment
here.
New York —(IP)— The sight of
American youth necking, dancing to
jazz and drinking doesn't shock Dr.
Gustav A. Jaederholm, professor of
philosophy at the University of Got-tenburg,
Sweden, in the least. In fact
he thinks it is a healthy sign.
Moralists can rave all they please,
he said here, but the "whoopee mak­ing"
of American youth is a sign to
him that they are less suppressed.
"In Europe," he said, "parents keep
their children under restraint until
they are 20 or 21 years of age. Then,
when they reach that age, the youths
revolt with many unhappy results. But
in America the parents make compan­ions
of their children, allowing them
to express themselves and to follow

violent reaction with the passing of
adolescence as there is in Europe."
Fowls Are Next
To Be Educated
Ottawa, Ont. — ( I P )— In a world
where everyone seems to be special­izing
in one particular thing, it is not
surprising- to find that the latest
thing in training schools is one for
chickens.
Prize birds will be instructed in
the nicities of restrained crowing
and general decorum adapted to ex­hibition
at the World Poultry Con­gress
to be held in London in July.
About 60 Canadian fowls, all of
which have achieved a certain amount
of success in the prize exhibition
line, will be put through an intensive
training course of three months by
a Canadian poultry expert, who has
operated what is essentially a poul­try
training school for the past 25
years.
The graduates of the course, ac­companied
by about 400 poultrymen,
will sail for England from Quebec
on July 12, and will be exhibited at
the Crystal Palace, London.
p i n CO-EDS IN
REBELLION ON
SMOKING RULE
Women Students to Bring Mat*
ter to Head by Violation
of Rules
Pittsburgh, Pa.—(IP)—Opposition
to the ban on women smoking in the
University of Pittsburgh campus has
reached the point of open rebellion,
co-eds declare.
Although many schools tolerate
smoking among women students and
some even provide smoking rooms for
girls, Pitt has a ruling against women
smoking.
Pitt girls, some of the co-eds say,
have decided to bring the matter to a
head by violating the rule.
One girl, daughter of a university
official, is reported as being ready to
lead a crusade against the no-smoking
rule.None of the girls have been re­ported
reprimanded.
Ban On Books Causes
Split In New York
School Authorities Divided Into Two
Factions
New York —(IP)— To debunk or
not to debunk—that is the question
that has split New York school author­ities
into two warring factions.
Did George Washington chop down
the cherry tree?
Who issued the invitations to the
Boston Tea Party, and who brewed
the tea in Teapot Dome?
Withdrawal from local schools of
the text-book "Modern History," writ­ten
by two Columbia University pro­fessors
and used for the last seven
years, has precipitated an open rift
among the city's educational powers.
Some say the action of the board in
banning the books is un-American and
unwarranted.
A minister started the affair by
charging that passages in the book
w e r e un-patriotic, anti-protestant
and against Democracy.

Athens, O.—(IP)—A number of
Ohio University students were injur­ed

New Castle, Pa.—(IP)—Students
of Westminister College at New Wil­mington,

the student form of government on
the grounds that it was merely a
"hollow shell."
The meeting at which the action
was taken had been called for the
purpose of electing officers of the
Student Council for the coming year.
Dr. W. Charles Wallace, president
of the college, has indicated that no
action will be taken by the college
authorities.

Fathers of Lafayette
Students Form Society
Easton, Pa. —(IP)— Two hund­red
fathers of Lafayette college stu­dents
joined recently in forming an
organisation to be known as the
"Associates of Lafayette."
The movement came as the result
of an address by President William
Mather Lewis at the third annual
Dad's Day luncheon, in which he de­scribed
the three units of education
as the college, the student and the
home. Dr. Lewis stated that with­out
these three working together
progress was impossible, and he ad­vocated
the new organization of
fathers as a means of creating a
stronger union.
From now on the fathers will be
kept officially in touch with all
phases of Lafayette life.
Socialists Hope For

Cleveland, Ohio —(IP)— Norman
Thomas, leader of the Socialist party
and its candidate for numerous of­fices,
including that of president is
greatly encouraged over the future of
the party by showings made in recent
state and municipal elections in all

He said in an interview here that
within a few years socialism will play
a major instead of a minor role in
the political life of the nation.

Auburn Athletic Teams Bring To
Close 1929-30 Season This Weeh
Elmer G. Salter
Athletic teams at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute entered their
final week of competition for the
1930 season Monday as the varsity
and freshman baseball teams and
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Orange and
Blue tracksters bring a successful
season to a close Saturday.
The track team will bring their
season to an end in the annual South­ern
Conference track and field meet
which will be held in Birmingham.
The Plainsmen harriers have a few
outstanding performers who are ex­pected
to annex points in Birming­ham,
but are not expected to place
among the leaders because the team
is inexperienced and is one of the
most balanced ever to represent Au­burn.
No Baskin's, Beard's, Snid-er's,
Carter's and Virgin's, who were
generally good for' ten or more points
in major meets, are wearing the
Tiger colors this season, but some
that rank with the best in dual com­petition.
Coach Fred Sheridan's tossers will
enter their final conference series
with a record of 7 wins and 6 losses
among conference teams. They have
lost to Georgia, Georgia Tech and
won from Tulane, Georgia, Georgia
Mercer U. Defeats
Auburn Club, 7-5
Outhit by a narrow margin, the
Mercer Bears turned tables on Auburn
here Saturday afternoon to take the
second game of their series and split
it as a result of the 7-5 decision. Au­burn
won Friday's fray, 15-5.
Duck Riley, Tiger second baseman,
led his team's attack of 11 hits by
collecting three of them and he star­red
afield again. He handled 11
changes perfectly Saturday. He al­so
accepted 11 opportunities Friday.
Mallard collected a trio of Mercer's
10 safeties/ Frock Pate hit a home
run and Marion got a triple. Fred
Sheridan's team made a desperate ral­ly
for victory in the eighth and ninth,
pushing over three runs, but they
were insufficient to overcome Mercer's
early lead.

Capt. Jim Crawford & Co. will be
doubly anxious to annex the games
with Vanderbilt in Nashville, Friday
and Saturday, because they will be
able to finish the season with a rec­ord
of .600 by annexing both tilts.
The yearling diamondneers have
three games facing them, all with
Southern Military Academy. The
first tilt will be played in Greens­boro,
Thursday with the two teams
locking horns here Friday and Satur­day.
Coach McFaden's nine has im­proved
as the season progressed and
will finish the season with a good
record, regardless of the outcome of
the final battles. They have only
been defeated by close scores by Fort
Benning and Georgia Tech Baby
Jackets, but will have a hard time
winning from the Cadets as they
have been footballing for a week un­der
Coach Chet Wynne which is ex­pected
to weaken them as they were
idle from the diamond for eight days.
Freshmen athletics at the Corner­stone
this year have advanced sev­eral
notches under the first coach
appointed at Auburn by President
Bradford Knapp, Earl "Bull" Mc-
Faden. Winning teams have been
produced in football, basket ball and
baseball and several members of the
frosh teams are expected to consid­erably
strengthen the varsity teams
during the 1930-31 term.
HOWARD SUFFERS
10 - 6 DEFEAT BY
AUBURN MONDAY
Loss of Sprint Star Will
Hurt Auburn In Meet
Loss of Lawrence Chamblee from
the squad probably will keep the Au­burn
harriers from placing in the
century in the Southern Conference
track meet at Birmingham Friday
and Saturday. The speedster pulled
a thigh muscle in a recent meet with
Georgia Tech and will be out for the
rest of the year.
Chamblee is one of the few speed­sters
in the conference that has run
the 100 in 10 minutes flat this season
and had been conceded points in the
coming tournament at Birmingham.
Until he was injured he had captured
first place in the 100 in every meet
in which he had participated, with the
exception of the Southern relays. This
included the Southeastern A. A. U.
meet and dual meets with Tulane and
Georgia.
The Plainsmen harriers have few
outstanding performers who might be
expected to annex events in the con­ference
meet. There are no Baskins,
Beards, Sniders, Carters and Virgins
to carry the Tiger colors this season.
However, there are a few who should
place in some of the events.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell has a well
balanced track squad, mostly young­sters,
and believes that in another
year the Plainsmen will assume some­thing
of their former place in confer­ence
track ranks.
Anti-Wine Data Banned
In French School Books
Paris— (IP) —"Slanderous state­ments"
about the French wine in­dustry
no longer can be included in
French school books, intent on in­ducing
the young of that nation to
touch not the wine when it is more
than one half of one per cent.
The minister of education has
promised that henceforth the phrases
which disparage wine drinking will
be eliminated.

Time of game, 1:57.
.Auburn and Howard alternated in
taking the lead for seven innings in
the first of the series here Monday
afternoon, but the Plainsmen final­ly
managed to knock Lefty McLen-don
out of the box and hit his suc­cessor,
Hinson, rather freely, to hand
the Bulldogs a 10 to 6 defeat.
Howard scored three runs in the
first on errors by Riley and Crawford
and a home run by Joe Pettison. They
would have annexed two more in the
eighth if Tom Bondurant had touch­ed
second when circling the bases
after connecting with one of Prim's
offerings for a sure homer. Bon­durant
scored Kent, but was called
out at second by Umpire Seay when
Kaley threw to Riley, who touched
the keystone for the final out. The
other big stanza for Doc Newton's
nine was the seventh when they scor­ed
their final counters. Singles by
Kent, Hinson and McLendon and a
sacrifice by Bondurant accounted for
Howard's final tallies.
Auburn was never in the lead until
the eighth. Ben Newton caught one
of McLendon's pitches on the nose in
the first and trotted in home behind
Capt. Crawford, who had singled,
when the ball went over the dump in
left field. Again in the fifth, it was
Newton. Pate was safe at second on
an error by Goodwin and scored on
Newton's single. The fourth run for
the Plainsmen came in the sixth when
Chas. Kaley, who played a good game
behind the plate, led off with a single
and reached third on some fast base
running when Goodwin erred on
Hodge's attempted sacrifice. Newton
came to the bat again in the seventh
and for the third time and connected
with his second Babe Ruthian swat
which also scored Frock Pate, who
had singled. Two hits, Newton's sac­rifice
fly, a wild pitch and a fielder's
choice gave Auburn her final runs.
Ray Prim was on the mound for
the Tigers, but was not pitching at
his best during the early innings. He
failed to walk any, but the Howard
hitters connected with the horsehide
with men on bases up to the seventh.
Prim got better as the game grew
older, three of the last eight batters
whiffing, and others rolling out to
the inner works.
Ben Newton and Joe Burt account­ed
for eight of Auburn's runs, while
the other two were gifts. Bettison
and Bondurant were the big guns
for the losers. Howard was stronger
at bat than in the field as they com-mitteed
four costly bobbles.

Spring Training to
Close This Week
With Conferences
Elmer G. Salter
Individual conferences with the
centers, guards, tackles, ends, quar­terbacks
and halfbacks and fullbacks
will bring to a close Auburn's second
Spring training of the year. The
conferences will be held indoors un­der
Coach Wynne and will only last
about thirty minutes daily. The
initial week of practice under Coacii
Wynne was conducted on Drake
Field, but examinations are facing
the Plainsmen now, so too much of
their time could not be devoted to
football at present.
Offensive work occupied the main
part of the program given the Plains­men
last week. The ball carriers
spent most of their time perfecting
a forward passing attack, which was
progressing very well for only a few
days of practice when the moleskin
wearers concluded six afternoons of
strenuous mental practice. A de­fensive
attack against an overhead
game was also given the Tiger backs.
Capt. Dunham Harkins and the
other candidates for forward wall
berths conducted most of their sec­ond
Spring training under Coach
Earl McFaden. The woi-k given the
linesmen consisted of charging, shift­ing
and other fundamental work. The
drills were concluded with three
teams running signals up and down
Drake Field with each showing plen­ty
of pep.
Close harmony prevails here in
every branch of the athletic depart­ment.
Each is anxious to produce a
winning gridiron team at the Corn­erstone
next year and have already
started by giving Coach Wynne per­fect
cooperation. The players have
already learned to like their new
mentor in the week that they have
worked under him and are going to
return to college next September
with nothing on their minds but to
work hard and aid in making Coach
Wynne a Moses at the Plains.

Artificial Clouds
May Reduce Fires
Amherst, Mass. —(IP)—It is now
possible that artificial clouds will be
used to reduce forest fire hazards.
It has been found by experts of the
Northeastern Forest Experiment Sta­tion
at Massachusetts Agricultural
College here that any reduction in sun
shine intensity reduces the fire hazard
and by using cloth screens of various
thicknesses artificial degrees of cloud­iness
may be obtained.
Tests made in white pine duff—the
needles and litter on the ground in a
white pine forest, showed that the rate
at which the duff dried out was de­pendent
on sunshine intensity.
For predicting fire hazards, by
summarizing the average cloudiness
since the last rainfall a better determ­ination
can be made of its effect on
the reduction of the fire hazard.
Auburn defeated Georgia Tech in a
track meet in Atlanta Saturday p. m.

Sky Is Screen For
Novel Ad Projects
Skywriting in which a,n airplane
spells words in smoke, an astonish­ing
development in the advertising
world only a few years ago, already
is considered old-fashioned.
Through a new device, demonstrat­ed
for the first time in Boston re­cently
by its inventor, Gordan C. Ed­wards
of New York, it is now pos­sible
to use the sky as a screen and
project upon it advertisements read­able
for miles around.
The newest system of sky adver­tising
involves a huge projector which
casts a strong beam of light through
a sei-ies of finely-adjusted lenses and
then through a metal stencil on which
the desired words appear.
Wods used in ads appear in sky at
altitude of about 2,000 feet.
Elmer G. Salter
The 1930 freshman football team
will face the same schedule that was
encountered by Coach Earl McFad­en's
successful 1929 eleven. Birm­ingham-
Southern, Florida, Georgia,
Georgia Tech and Tulane will again
be the opponents.
The season will open with the
Orange and Blue yearlings encount­ering
the Birmingham-Southern Baby
Panthers in a morning classic here
on Drake Field, October 4. Florida
will be engaged in the second game
here on October 11 while the varsity
teams are battling in Jacksonville.
The third tilt for the Auburn rodents
will be against Georgia, the Bullpups
and Cubs meeting in Columbus, Ga.
or Auburn, October 25. If they play
in Columbus, it will be a morning
fray as the Tigers and Bulldogs clash
in Memorial Stadium there on the af­ternoon
of October 25.
Kid Clay's Baby Jackets from
Georgia Tech will be played in At­lanta,
November 1, and the season's
finale will be against Tulane. The
Auburn-Tulane frosh game will be
played on the same day that the var­sity
elevens meet, November 8, the
scene of both games being New Or­leans.
The 1930 complete Auburn fresh­man
schedule:
Act. 4—Birmingham-Southern at
Auburn (morning game.)
Oct. 11—Florida at Auburn.
Oct. 25—Georgia at Columbus or
Auburn.
Nov. 1—Georgia Tech at Atlanta.
Elmer G. Salter
The team that finished third in the
Southern Conference track and field
meet last season—Auburn—will be
represented this season by 14 thinly-clad
wearers, only one of this num­ber
annexed points for the Plainsmen
in the conference meet last season.
Capt. Earnest Bell, quarter-miler, is
the only Orange and Blue wearer who
scored points last year in Birming­ham
who is again representing the
Hutsell-coached team. Bell scored 2
points against the cream of Dixie's
quarter milers last season and will
again be a favorite to place, when
the Southern Conference track stars
gather at Birmingham, May 16 and
17, for the annual conference meet.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's 1930 team
is inexperienced, but they have made
as good showing as practically any
team that he has ever coached be­cause
they are well-balanced. That
will represent Auburn in the Magic
City will be composed of 5 soph­omores,
5 juniors and only 4 seniors.
They have a perfect record in dual
meets, won the Southeastern A. A.
U. and annexed several points in the
Southern Relays.
Last year, the Tigers had the best
hurdlers in the South, Percy Beard
and Ira Virgin, so easily annexed
both first and second places in the
high and low timber-topping events,
but this year's fence toppers are both
sophomores and will need experience
before they will be able to rank with
the best in the United States. Gar­land

Cupid's Dart Takes
Howell Long Victim
Elmer G. Salter
Dan Cupid has already started
claiming as his victims members of
Auburn's 1929 football team who will
graduate with the class of 1930.
The first name to be added to
Cupid's large list is the "head" man
of the last's season's Plainsmen grid­iron
team, Howell "Shorty" Long.
Long will marry Miss Sarah Summer-ford,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ar­thur
Coy Summerford, of Falkville,
the latter part of this month.
Long was one of the most versa­tile
athletes ever to wear the Orange
and Blue colors as he played every
position on the team. He was elected
captain of the 1929 eleven because
he was aggressive and fought every
minute that he was in a game.
The wedding, which will take place
after Long receives his diploma from
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
May 20, is the culmination of a
youthful romance started in Falk­ville.
and Jack Stewart will represent Au­burn
in the high and low hurdles in
Birmingham. Beard will also throw
the discus and Stewart will also meet
Sandy Sanford again in the high
jump. Sanford is conference cham­pion
and holds one verdict over
Stewart, while he also has been de­feated
by Stewart.
Auburn's main threat in the Magic
City meet probably will be William
Coleman. Coleman will be entered
in the shot put and discus. He holds
the Auburn record for both as he has
heaved the iron ball 43 feet 6 %
inches and has hurled the plate 137
feet 1 inch. Coleman established
both these records this year and both
were formerly held by Nick Carter.
Sam Robinson, who was the best
sophomore javelin thrower in Dixie
in 1928, is another Plainsmen expect­ed
to win points for Auburn. Robin­son
has scored points in every meet
Auburn has participated in this year
and is anxious to close the season
with additional counters. Robinson
holds the Auburn record for the
javelin, having thrown it 186 feet 10
inches in 1928, but an automobile ac­cident
rendered him hors de combat
last year. This season he has been
gradually improving, but his best
mark has only been 180 feet 9 inches.
Coach Hutsell's entry list for the
Conference meet will be:
Samuel O'Hara and Lawrence
Chamblee, 100 and 220; O'Hara
broad jump; Capt. Earnest Bell and
B. C. Jones, 440; Eugene Gray and
James McLendon, half-mile; Clar­ence
Roberts, two-mile; Joe Hughes
and Thomas Gaillard, pole vault;
Alt. Capt. Elmus Burnett, high and
broad jump; Garland Beard and Jack
Stewart, high and low hurdles;
Stewart, high jump; Beard, discus;
Sam Robinson, javelin and William
Coleman, shot put and discus.

LESS THAN KIN
He was a hill man,
And she watched the spray
Until he came and won her
All in a day.
Sea-folk will talk all day,
But mountain folk are still
And the tide dashes vainly
Against a cliff's will.
He knows not how to answer
Her salt tide talk.
He goes no further from his hills
Than a day's walk!
Though she climb to roof or hill-top
As if her soul to save
All that her Eastward staring sees
Is a hill-wave.
Hill folk cannot easily
Speak what they feel,
But his look follows her
Like a dog at heel.
Far up a hillside
Seas cannot climb . . .
Her tide of talk is going out
Before its time.
Destiny that mated them
Was less kind or human.
All in a day to tether
Hill-man . . . . sea-woman.

Representatives Hold
Debate on Question of
Cheese In Restaurant
Washington—(IP)—The tariff bill,
approaching elections and other topics
of serious moment went into the dis-card
one day recently while the House
of Representatives wrangled over why
the House restaurant has stopped ser­ving
those little pieces of cheese with
pie.
Congressman Charles Underhill, of
Massachusetts, who as chairman of
the committee on accounts is manager
of the House-operated and House-fi
nanced eating emporium in the base
ment of the House wing of the Capi
tol, perspired freely, shook visibly and
retorted heatedly to the persistent
queries of Congressman Frank Mur
phey of Ohio.
"Why, Mr. Speaker, do the club
sandwiches cost 70 cents?" demanded
Murphey. "And why don't they serve
baked beans and boiled dinners? Why
does the restaurant show a deficit
every year, which the treasury has to
make up .although the government
furnishes everything, including the
ice, in the restaurant?"
Underhill sent a page boy down­stairs
for a sample sandwich and a
dietary platter, which he displayed as
he replied to Murphey.
"I'll tell you why these club sand­wiches
cost 70 cents," he said. "It's
because they cost a lot to make."
'"And I'll tell you why we don't
serve free cheese with pie anymore
It's because it makes a difference of
$140 a month in our cheese bill and
because nobody misses those little ra­zor
blade pieces of cheese."
Murphey, as chairman of a sub­committee
of the House Appropria­tions
committee, said the restaurant
would go "in the red" this year per­haps
as much as $30,000, and he de­manded
that Underhill furnish the
House with a daily statement of re­ceipts
and expenditures.
"I should put on a white coat and
act as head waiter, I suppose," re­torted
Underhill.
Some members said the House res­taurant
was a good place to eat and
others agreed with Murphey that they
couldn't afford club sandwiches.
Underhill said "curiosity seekers"
among Congressional constituents car­ry
away large amounts of silver ware
and napkins every day since they are
marked with an "H".
"How can you search every one
leaving the restaurant?" he said.
"Why, sometimes Congressmen give
their lady guests bouquets which we
furnish on the tables in vases, and the
ladies, not wishing to soil their gowns,
There have been conventions re­garding

take a napkin too to wrap up the wet
stems in.
"We've cut out serving sugar tongs
and butter spreaders because they are
so easily concealed about the person."
The House restaurant is open only
when the House is in session, and
serves lunches only. It is a mecca for
tourists.

Home Builders Told
To Care For Trees
Expert Says Thousand* of Beautiful
Trees Killed Needlessly Yearly
Kent, O., May 16—Home builders
should take care not to be tree destroy­ers,
warns Martin L. Davey, presi­dent
of the Davey Tree Expert Co.
"Thousands of beautiful trees are
needlessly killed each year during
building and grading operations,"
Davey said. "Whenever the ground
around new homes is graded, the trees
are endangered unless proper precau­tions
are taken.
"If the elevation of the ground is
lowered, the root fibers are exposed to
the sun and frost and may be killed.
If the elevation is raised, the danger
is even greater. The roots must have
air in order to live and when they are
covered with a blanket of heavy earth,
they are smothered. When the roots
die, the tree dies too.
"Many people believe that a well at
the base of the tree will provide suffi­cient
aeration for the roots. Unfort­unately,
that is not true, for the well
cannot help the roots beyond its own
circumference, which means that the
greater part of the root system is
smothered in time."
Messrs. Grady and Howell Long
have returned from Falkville.
G. B. Shaw Helps Show
By Sending Cablegram
Noted Writer Renders Decision on
Number of Policeman's Teeth
Should be Knocked Out
Akron, O. —(IP)—When the Little
Theater section of the Akron Women's
Club doubted if a pretty girl would be
arrested merely for knocking out two
of a policeman's teeth in a street
fight, they cabled George Bernard
Shaw for advice.
The dental incident occurs in a
scene of Shaw's production "Fanny's
First Play," which the women are re­hearsing
here.
"Akron police refuse to consider
knocking out two teeth sufficient jus­tification
for jailing. How can we
attract attention to Fanny's First
Play?" said the cablegram.
"Ascertain how many teeth .will
suffice and alter text accordingly,"
came the prompt reply from Shaw.
The women, showing the cablegram
to the newspaper, got more than
enough desired publicity, and are ex­pecting
a sell-out for the show next
week.
We must always beware of simply
substituting a new and possibly worse
tyranny for an old, as has so often
happened in the sad annals of human
progress.—Howard Madison Parshley

THE PARTY DRESS
By Joseph Hergesheimer
COSMOPOLITAN
Reviewed ^by K. M. McMillan
A romantic story of Long Island
Society life constitutes Joseph Herge-sheimer's
Party Dress.
Nina Henry, wife of Wilson Hen­ry,
falls in love with Calke Ewing,
a Cuban landowner. Ewing, secret­ly
displeased at Nina's preference of
a clandestine love affair to divorce
and remarriage, leaves her, a*nd final­ly
commits suicide.
Nina has a "party dress" which
gives her such charm that she is ir-resistable
to all men. How she
charms with this dress is a story
in itself.
In .this book Hergesheimer does not
confine his splendid powers of char
acterization to the fairer sex, al­though
woman seems to be his theme.
The character of Chalke Ewing is
a masterpiece. A man already past
forty, Ewing has everything needed
to make up a strong personality—
an indomitable will, a vast storehouse
of information, and just enough ego­tism
to have his way at all times.
The family life of Wilson and Nina
is- a great failure. Wilson is in love
with Cora Lisher, attractive society
woman, and Nina is engrossed with
Ewing to such a degree that she neg­lects
both her unfaithful husband and
extravagant children. They both pay
the price of their unfaithfulness;
Nina's lover kills himself, and Wil­son
is left with a love that will nev­er
satisfied.

Colored Leaves Are
Prospect Of Future
Kent, O.—Changing the color of the
leaves on trees on one's private estate
to please milady's fancy, or to match
her favorite gowns, may become a fad
of the future.
- This seemingly fantastic idea is well
within the realm of possibility, accord­ing
to scientists of the Davey Tree
Surgery research laboratories. Some
day, they say, it may be even possible
to have pink leaves on maple trees,
yellow leaves on elms, and Alice blue
leaves on sedate old oaks.
Already they have changed the col­or
of the leaves on many trees from
green to crimson red and violet. This
was done during the course of experi­ments
made to find a way to immunize
trees against insects and disease by
injecting chemicals into" the trunks.
Some of the chemicals made startling
changes in the color of the leaves.
Inasmuch as the research workers
were not trying to outdo Mother Na­ture
in providing a color scheme for
the great outdoors, they did not pro­ceed
farther along this line. But they
have persisted in their efforts to con­trol
pests by the chemical injection
method and hope eventually to succeed.
Until such time they say, insect pests
will be controlled by the spraying
methods perfected in their laboratories
and known to be effective.

Women Students Help
Clear Campus of Brush
Yellow Springs, O. — ( I P )— They
dress like men; they work like men;
they get paid like the men—these
feminine recruits of the Glen Gang.
The gang does not hail from Chica­go.
It is a group of students at Anti-och
college here, who spend half of
their time at study and the other half
planting trees, clearing away under­brush
and generally improving the
800 acres of woodland known as Glen
Helen.
There is nothing strange or unu­sual
about that. Antioch college is
well known as a co-operative college,
where students spend half, of their
time working.
But what is unusual is the presence
of these members of the weaker sex
in the rude surroundings where they
work side by side with their stronger
brothers, doing the same work and re­ceiving
equal pay for the job.
But the girls came out to show them
what they could do. Noses peeled and

school girl complexions grew ruddier
and ruddier.
Flowing locks turned into pig-tails
or close-cut boy-bobs. Backs ached
and blisters flourished. But the num­ber
of trees planted by these brawny
males seemed to differ little from
the number planted by the rosy over­all-
girls.
Finally the men student admitted
that they could not howl any longer
about the co-eds on the Glen Gang.
The girls are enthusiastic about the
plan. Some of them turned down
much easier jobs in near-by cities for
the chance to be out of doors.
Some are definitely interested in
forestry or landscaping and still oth­ers
want just the health building ex­perience
of the out door vrork.
They are guaranteed a minimum
wage, so rainy days in excess do not
augment their unemployment woes.
Apparently there is little distinc­tion
made in assigning work, the girls
taking their share of the disagreeable
jobs along with the men. Sometimes
they work together and sometimes in
separate groups.
One lanky overall lass, who ruth­lessly
discarded her flowing tresses for
a boyish bob as soon as she joined the
squad, relates in high glee the tale
of the passer-by, who stood watching
the all-feminine cohort with which she
was engaged and then wondered art­lessly
why they had one boy working
with all those girls.

So many unhappy things can happen to
increase that old inferiority complex. Deans
and Doctors, Mid-years and Finals, all dedi­cated
to the cause of making life a burden.
Coca-Cola was made for times like these.
Here's a drink that will quickly invest
you with some of its life and sparkle.
Give you exceeding joy in its tingling, deli­cious
taste. And leave you with that cool
after-sense of refreshment in which a right­eous
megalomania may wax fat and prosper.
