WELCOME MOTHERS THE PLAINSMAN T O F O S T E R T H E A U B U R N S P I R IT WELCOME DADS VOLUME LIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1929. NUMBER 14 AUBURN DOWNS HOWARD 6 TO 0 "Mother and Dad" Day Finds Many Visitors in Auburn SPECIAL EXERCISES ARE HELD IN HONOR OF GUESTS TODAY Parents See Football Game Here This Afternoon TO BE A N ANNUAL AFFAIR "A" Club Dance Tonight To T e r m i n a t e Exercises A large number of students' parents registered today for Auburn's first Mothers' and Dads' Day exercises. The program, which has been under the direction of the Executive Cabinet, featured the game this afternoon between Auburn and Howard and a reception at seven at Smith Hall, tonight with the "A" Club Dance. Upon their arrival at Auburn, the mothers and dads registered at Lang-don Hall, and were given which ribbons which has served as a means of recognition during the day. Dr. Knapp personally greeted all arrivals. This morning the R. O. T. C. unit gave its first campus military review of the year. The unit formed in front of the Main Building, and preceded by the band, marched to the drill field. The review was held before a large assemblage of spectators. This afternoon the visitors were guests at the football game, and were given a manifestation of the Auburn Spirit. The rest of the day has been spent in touring the campus and inspecting the buildings. Fraternity houses have been thrown open all during the day and welcoming receptions reported given everywhere. At seven o'clock tonight, the parents will be guests at a reception at Smith Hall, the girls' dormitory. The affair will end at nine o'clock giving the mothers and dads plenty of time in which to make the dance. The exercises will end tonight with the "A" Club dance at the Gymnasium. The Nomads, an orchestra from Montgomery, will furnish the dance music. This marks the inauguration of the setting aside of a day to honor the fathers and mothers of Auburn students, with the idea of planning a program to give them an inside view of college life. Dr. Knapp stated that this will be an annual affair. Credit for the success of the day is largely due to the cooperation of Dr.-Knapp with the committee of the Executive Cabinet of which Streeter Wiatt is chairman. Robert Sansing, president of the Auburn Y. M. C. A., has also assisted considerably in carrying out the program. PROGRESS MADE IN ENGINEERRESEARCH Twelve Projects Started Since Organization Within six months after it was created, the engineering experiment station of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute succeeded* in starting 12 research projects, each of distinct economic value to the people of the State. Dean John J. Wilmore of the school of engineering is acting director of the station and two full-time and eight part-time workers are now engaged in engineering research. . At a meeting last February the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute created the engineering experiment station upon recommendation of President Bradford Knapp, who is a strong advocate and supporter of all lines of research work pertaining to the welfare and advancement of Alabama. Provision was made by him for four research fellowships with a view to training students for research and directing their attention to its opportunities. Project number one on the research list of the new engineering experiment station is a study of the corrosion of metals due to electrolytic action induced by moving water. This is being done by Professors C. R: Hixon and O. G. Quenelle. The purpose is to investigate the relation of electrolytic currents to the corro- (Continued on page 6) B. S. U. Convention To Be Held November 1 Visitors From Several Colleges To Be Present Auburn Spirit High Before Howard Tilt Great Interest Shown By Students As Game Drew Near The Auburn Spirit reigned at a mass meeting held last night, when a number of students, led by the Auburn Band, which always supports the mass meetings, paraded enthusiastically through the streets of Auburn. After the parade the students gathered at Langdon Hall amid much cheering. After a few yells, short talks were made by Dr. Knapp, Captain "Shorty" Long, and "Red" Roberts, cheerleader several y'ears ago. "Prexy" urged the students to cooperate with the cheerleaders in supporting the team at the game. "Shorty" told that the team was all primed and ready to go into the game. "Red" told of the Auburn Spirit, and was rewarded by loud and unified yells. The meeting ended after a few more yells were given. All students who expect to attend the Alabama Baptist Student Union Convention which will be held at the First Baptist Church of Auburn November first through the third are requested by the Auburn officials to register at the Baptist church on Sunday, October 27. Delegates are expected from all the chapters throughout the state. Special provision for rooms for the visiting delegates are being made through the cooperation of the Interfraternity Council at Auburn. To !da(te the Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi fraternities have agreed to keep the representatives of the various out of town chapters. This convention promises to be of special interest to Baptist students, and the committee in charge is urging all who can to attend. Faculty Dance Club Holds First Affair Prof. M. L. Nichols Elected President of Faculty Club Faculty members and their ladies who attended the first faculty dance of the year in the Alumni Gymnasium Friday evening were delighted with music played by Bob Butler and his "Auburn Collegians," orchestra according to expressions made by the dancers on the floor. During intermission Prof. M. L. Nichols was elected pre 'dent of the Faculty Dance Club, and Npf. F. E. Guyton, secretary-treasurer. Prof. Nichols succeeds Prof. L. S. Blake and Prof. Guyton succeeds Charles W. Edwards. The new administration is planning several other dances which are expected to add much to the faculty social calendar during the year, Prof. Nichols said. Grant and McCoy Are to Speak Here on Armistice Day Auburn Freshmen To Play Tech Frosh In Afternoon LEGION TO COOPERATE Military Review Is Also Scheduled For Celebration With Hon. George Grant, Troy, State commander of the American Legion, and Major General Frank R. McCoy, Atlanta, commander of the Fourth Corps Area, booked as the principal speakers, the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is anticipating a big celebration Armistice Day, November 11. This is an annual affair at Auburn in which the American Legion always plays a conspicuous part. The John H. Wills Post of the Legion, with members in Auburn and Opelika, is helping with arrangements. C. S. Whittlesey, of Opelika, post commander, President Bradford Knapp, and Major John T. Kennedy, Auburn commandant, announce that (Continued on page 6) DR. KNAPP COMMENTS ONCOLLEGEPAPERAT PLAINSMAN BANQUET Staff Holds First Banquet • Friday Night Dr. Knapp commented favorably on the policies of the Plainsman at the first banquet of the staff which was held last night in the Eastern Star rooms. Besides the staff members and Dr. Knapp, there were several visitors present. The college president, himself a member of the Plainsman staff, mentioned the possibilities of someday expanding the school paper into a daily, both for the college and the town. P. O. Davis, director of public information, called attention to the fact that the Plainsman has steadily gone forward since his undergraduate days in 1914. He said that the Auburn Spirit was just the same now as it has always been. Walter L. Randolph, of the Publicity Department; Professors Cecil Shuford and Harold Hutchins, both of the English department, also gave short talks. Several members of the Plainsman staff were called upon to speak. Dick Jones, sports editor, presented his associate editors tokens of appreciation of their work on the sports staff. Editor-in-chief A. V. Blankenship acted as toastmaster. A five course dinner was served during the banquet. Indian Dance Features Auburn-Howard Game Spectators at the Auburn- Howard game had the, pleasure of witnesing a most gracefully executed Indian War Dance done by "Chief Bull Sessions" Nethery, Chief "Shooting Bull" Drey, "Chief Bull Durham" Quinlivan, and Chief Bull Ony" Headley. As the Band marched off the field at the half, the four notorious Indian Chiefs in full native costume entered from the four conrers of the field, and danced out to the center of the grid to the weird dismal music of "Chief Shooting Bull's tomtom. On reaching the destined spot, a loud "Wa-Hoo, (the Indian's War Eagle) was emitted simultaneously from the four Redskins, and they broke into the ancient War Dance of the tribe of Hawk Mogul. At the conclusion of this solemn ceremony, the four chiefs triumphantly marched from the battle field. Gabie Drey, A. W. Headley, S. C. Nethery, and J. R. Quinlivan, were the participants in the episode, which constituted the annual Kappa Kappa Psi initiation. Alumni Discuss Plans for Future Growth of Auburn Cooperation and Support Are Promised By The Alumni THIRTY ALUMNI PRESENT Vice-Presidents Alumni Association Enthusiastic Plans For Election Are Made At Rat Meeting Will Be Held As Prodived For Undergraduate Constitution Blue Key To Present Flag To Institution College Colors Will Appear On New Banner The Blue Key Honor Society announces that it will present a large college flag to the institute in the near future. The banner will be made of wool bunting; the school colors will be carried out, and it will be blue, with the college seal in burnt orange in the middle. The size will be five feet by nine and one-half feet; the flag will be flown on special occasions below the American flag. A Blue Key official said that it will be similar to the standard now in the military offices. Blue Key is a national organization, with chapters in almost all of the larger colleges in the United States; the Auburn chapter was established in the early part of 1926. Preliminary preparations for the election of class officers were made at a meeting of the freshman class held in Broun Hall auditorium last Thursday morning. This is the first business meeting of the class of 1933. Carmon E. Teague, president of the Executive Cabinet, stated that the election will be held as provided for in Article III, of the Regulations of Permanent Committees of the Cabinet, of the student constitution. Candidates for offices must be nominated by a signed nomination blank signed by twenty-five members of the class (Art. Ill, Sec. 4), and the blank must be submitted in the following form: We, the undersigned members of the Class of do hereby nominate (Nominee) for (Office). (Sponsors' signatures—twenty-five or more). I hereby accept the nomination. (Signature of Nominee). These nominations must be turned in at the Y. M. C. A. office by next Wednesday at twelve o'clock. The election will be held Thursday, November 7, and ballotting will be the preferential system. (Article III, Section 11.) Phi's Have Reception For Mothers and Dads The new home of Phi Delta Theta fraternity was the scene of a combination housewarming and homecoming this afternoon. Many alumni and fathers and mothers of the members visited the house during the day. A reception, which was held at 5:30, was attended by a large number of students, both fraternity and non-fraternity men. A cordial welcome was tendered all who visited the Phi Delta Theta house during the day, it was said. NOTICE! PLAINSMAN STAFF There will be a meeting of the Editorial Staff of the Plainsman tomorow (Sunday) evening at 7 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. Plans for continuing the building program now under way at Auburn were explained by President Knapp to a group of alumni who gathered here Saturday to talk with him about the development of the college along all lines. Thirty alumni from all parts of Alabama and fron Georgia were in session with Dr. Knapp for more than two hours during the forenoon. Dr. Knapp told them that buildings as now proposed call for a cash outlay of more than $1,400,000 which is more than the money now in sight. Alumni were asked to cooperate and their cooperation was asured. The plans proposed by him call for the erection of a stadium in the valley immediately west of the gymna- (Continued on page 6) AUBURN OFFICIALS TO ATTEND MEETING OF LAND-GRANTSCHOOLS Five Representatives To Attend Chicago Convention Five Auburn officials will attend the 43rd meeting of ihe Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities at Chicago November 12, 13, and 14.

Cabinet Discussion Groups Are In Midst of Close Contest AUBURN TO BE IN STATE AIR TOUR Greetings to Auburn and to President Bradford Knapp were extended from the Pathfinder of the Alabama State Air Tour which circled low over Auburn, Saturday morning. The message was signed by Ralph Hurst and John Donalson and was dropped in front of the President's home. It is understood that Auburn will be included in the tour. Seven new captains were elected to serve in the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet at its meeting last Friday night. These new members and the other captains will appoint lieutenants who will, in turn, select members to form small discussion groups. The new members of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are Eu gene Grey, David Mosley, A. F. Baas, O. S. Adams, John Parks, T. F Camps, and W. C. Kelly. Discussion groups organized by the various lieutenants will discuss topics that will be elected for discussion and will turn in a report each week. The reports will determine the standing of the groups in a contest for free tickets to the closing banquet. The lieutenants or a representative of each group must attend the Normal Discussion Meetings in the Y. M. C. A. Assembly room each Monday evening at 6:30. Mr. J. Ward Nelson, state Y. M. C. A. secretary, will speak at the Normal Discussion Meeting Monday night. A very interesting program and helpful advice is promised to all who attend the meeting. Rules for the contest between the various groups are posted on the Y. M. C. A. bulletin board. Injured Students Are Rapidly Recovering Dr. Thomas reported today that W. T. Spivey, injured in the wreck which last Saturday claimed the life of W. T. Shepard, was now resting easily at the East Alabama Hospital in Opelika. Spivey is suffering from a fractured skull, but the wound is healing so rapidly that it is no longer necessary to keep a special nurse with him. Raymond Ranson, and V. H. Hjell-man, two Auburn students suffering from ruptured appendix were also reported rapidly recovering from operations. They too are in the hospital at Opelika. Hjellman is quite a distance from his home. He came to Auburn from New York. Spicer made one yard on a line play. Burns went off right tackle for two yards. Levvy made six yards around right end.

This aim is very successfully accomplished. Every student in Agricultural courses, Home Economics, and Veterinary Medicine is expected to do his or her bit toward the success of the paper by subscribing. The ultimate success of the publication rests upon its circulation, and this matter is being stressed by the circulation staff. Being of such outstanding value in its line, the Farmer should claim the attention and support of almost every student in the above mentioned schools, as well as those on other campuses.

Overton _.._ Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis _. Circulation Mgr. THE PLAINSMAN commends the fraternities for the way the majority of the freshmen are being treated. The days of barbarism have passed, even in college circles. Mothers a n d Dads Welcome To A u b u rn The interest shown in Mothers' and Dads' Day is very encouraging. Many parents from various parts of. the state are here for the first-time to see Auburn. They have seen where their sons and daughters are instructed for the greater battle to be fought later on; they have seen for themselves the Auburn that they have heard So much about. Many of the parents have been here before; they are merely renewing friendships formed years ago; they are gratified to see the growth shown by the institution whose welfare they have followed for many years. Auburn welcomes them. It is her desire that they will spend a very happy day here; that they go away feeling that the hospitality accorded them by students and townspeople is of the sincerest nature. She wants them to be so favorably impressed that in the future trips to this college will be anticipated with pleasure. Auburn is fortunate in having so many visitors today. It proves that the people of the state are interested in her growth, her educational advantages, and her future pos- . sibilities. We are sure that this marks a great day in putting Auburn before those people who need most to know about her—those whose sons are attending. This is something that will grow in importance and magnitude in the future if it is properly carried out. It is very necessary, therefore, that the students and friends of the college extend a most cordial welcome to the visitors. B u i l d i n g P r o g r am A n n o u n c e d Recently A few days ago the executive committee of the board of trustees approved the plans and specifications for four new buildings to be constructed within the year at an approximate cost of §600,000. This action taken by the executive committee is typical of the progressive program that has been outlined, and carried out in part, for Auburn during the past years. Auburn, despite the efforts of a few, is steadily progressing and leaying behind the characteristic traits of the typical small town college. No longer do we turn the entire freshman class, as far as looks are concerned, into a group of convicts, by shaving their heads, no longer is a man looked upon as a curiosity if he comes to class dressed in a suit instead of a pair of dirty overalls; no longer do we literally tear the town wide open after a mass meeting. Some few seem to have the idea that these signs of progress are only an indication of the decline of the famous Auburn spirit. Every once in a while these rash ideas get the better of their common sense and the result is a disgraceful display of bad' taste. The paint job of a week or so ago is a shining example of this. All that can be said on this subject is that a few misguided souls have an entirely mistaken conception of what the true Auburn spirit really is. This spirit, among other things, is a courage which comes to the front in times of adversity, a generosity which shows itself when victory is ours, a willingness to see both sides of the question, a desire to be a good sport and determination to see a thing, once started, through to a finish. Auburn is rapidly coming to the front under the able leadership of Dr. Knapp who, although having been here only a year, has in his possession a full portion of the real Aubur_n spirit. It is up to the student body to advance at least as fast as the school does and to show Dr. Knapp that we too have our share of the spirit and are willing to do our part in this progressive program. F a r m e r Improved In O p e n i n g Issue The Plainsman adopts this means of congratulating the staff of its sister publication, The Alabama Farmer, upon its opening, depicting a lively and wide-awake studeilt departmental magazine. Each member of the Staff is to be commended for the phenomenal success of the paper, and the brilliancy of this opening issue. The Alabama Farmer is published solely by and under student supervision, being the official organ of the Student's Agricultural Club—reputed as being the liveliest student organization on the campus. It. carries feature articles constituting scientific reports on the farming industry and its problems, written by students and instructors; news relating the findings of various research and extension problems relative to farm operations; personal notes on Agricultural graduates; a page of campus news; and various other items of general interest to those connected with agriculture in any way. The Farmer was founded ten years ago by agricultural students here, and has shown remarkable advancement since that time. At present it holds the distinction of membership in the Association of American Agricultural College Magazines, which marks it among the best of its kind in the country. We feel certain it justly merits this outstanding distinction. With a circulation" of more than one -thousand copies, it is being read quite extensively. It goes to every county in Alabama, almost all adjoining states, many distant states, and some foreign countries. The Farmer is designed primarily for Alabama interests, but holds quite a bit of interest in many other sections. Its princi- Letters to the Editor Dear Editor— While I was in Birmingham last weekend, I tried to obtain a room at the Birmingham Y. M. C. A. only to be told that Auburn Y. M. C. A. membership cards were not recognized there. The clerk told me that in the past Auburn students had stolen blankets and towels from them, and that they would not allow them to stay there now. This is certainly a slam on both the student body and the Y. M. C. A. of Auburn. I do not believe the accusation true. Possibly sometime in the past a student thoughtlessly appropriated for his own use one of the Birmingham Y. M. C. A.'s blankets, but is this a • current practice among Auburn students? I hope not. It seems to me that the local Y. M. C. A. should immediately take action to have our membership cards recognized anywhere in the United States. What is the benefit of belonging to the Y. M. C. A. here if we are not recognized elsewhere? This information proves one of two things. Either the students at Auburn abuse their privileges as members of the Y. M. C. A. when away from here, or the Y. M. C. A. is becoming defunct in its actions. In either case there should be an immediate remedy. Certainly the student body is not deserving of being called a bunch of theives, and I think that the Y. M. C. A. should at once take steps to remedy this situation. Yours for a better Y. M. C. A., ALOYIOUS ASPHALT. The Gecko I'm the Gecko who goes out for football. When I get a scratched leg, I limp to let everybody know that I am a big "Cave man" football player. I know the game well and if anyone asks me about it, I can tell him the way it should be played although I cannot do it very well. I try to let the coach know how to pull certain plays, but he can't appreciate good suggestions. If anyone wants to know the results of the games to b,e played in the future, just ask me; I am the prophet of today concerning results of future games. P. S. I am not even out for Varsity, but think I am a bis noise in intramural. IH .Klii^r ^& ^ • H s K K ^ H ^ • • L ^ ' " M ^ ^ ^ ^ K * ' ^ | n i f I had a mighty good letter from Ope-lika which reads in part as follows: "I feel quite sure you will be glad to hear of thev many, many favorable comments about 'our' Auburn students who were here at the Fair. One of the officials told me the Auburn boys' general behavior was the BEST he had seen since the Fair was organized nine years ago. This made we proud too as an old Auburn man." Another quotation from the same letter is: "Let me congratulate the boys on their parade at Montgomery. I reached there just as the parade started and it gave me a thrill to see the fine dignity and soldierly appearance of that fine, clean-cut bunch of gentlemen of Auburn." These words ought to be very gratifying to the student body. I had rather have that kind of reputation than have had a great many other things in the world. * * * * * A number of the members of our "executive family" including the registrar's office, the deans and the President are studying the matter of absences from classes. These appear to me to be much greater than they ought to be and yet this institution has one of the most severe rules regarding the effect of absences which I have ever seen. It seems to me that essentially it is necessary that a student attend classes, lectures, and laboratory work with sufficient regularity to get the work and that in case they make up the work missed by absences and are able to demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of subject, they ought to receive a passing grade or a higher grade in case they show a higher proficiency. I have been wondering what we might do to change the attitude of mind of the student body on this subject. I think we ought to call in certain student groups and discuss it with them. It alarms me that 322 students during the last year lost at least one credit hour at college because of excessive absences. This does not represent the total number pf students who had absences from classes, but only those whose absences were excessive. We are collecting the evidence and endeavoring to look into the situation with as great care as possible. Some members of the staff have (suggested thaf if we had a set of signal bells in each of the buildings, it would help in class attendance because it would insure prompt dismissal and prompt convening in each instance—particularly would.this be true regarding buildings somewhat distant from the central part of the campus. * * * * * The last of next, week we are to entertain the Baptist Student Conference at Auburn. I hope we shall be able to demonstrate, to them the hospitality, the character, and the worth of this institution. It makes us all realize how greatly we need a hotel and additional dormitories for entertaining people who come in. « AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « "Little Things" By Tom Bigbee Are we becoming shiftless, lazy, indifferent snobbish, hard hearted, or what? Is it possible that we are just too busy to look out for these other things which seem quite little, yet in the long run total up to mean so much to the institution? No doubt we fail to recognize the importance of doing little things well, and at the right time. We need to pick up some dropped stitches. Speaking of things out of time, we wish to refer you to the Letter to the Editor in a recent issue of the Plainsman. What occasion Chris had for such criticism, we cannot fathom. We do conclude, however, that he is a Frosh—even too fresh to be witty—seeking publicity at any possible point other than that of paddles swung by members of the Vigilance Committee. We heartily agree with the thoughts presented in the recent editorial pertaining to decreasing interest in campus activities. There is such a thing as going in too heavy on activities; yet we might remember that they, in moderation, may afford benefits approaching the value of classes themselves. Three streamer headlines in one issue— that's displaying news! it occurred in last week's Plainsman. Auburn is to be displayed before the eyes of the entire State in exhibits at the fair in Montgomery this week. This will be a bigger advertisement for the college than one might imagine. , "All things come to the other fellow if you will only sit down and wait." The only people who really enjoy hearing your troubles are lawyers; they get paid for it. You are waiting for your ships to come in—have you sent one out?

WAR IMPOSSIBLE NOW Science has made war impossible, according to Francis P. Garvan, of New York, who told the American Chemical Society at Minneapolis so. He said, "I believe that modern chemistry plus aviation has made Avar impossible. In case of a modern war between great powers it would be foolish and useless for a battleship or cruiser to leave its dock or an army to take the field." He seems to have forgotten that the day before the ship, battles were all fought on land. And now that we have the airship, can they not carry destruction even farther than an army or a battleship? $ * si' # * NO ONE SHALL KNOW THE HOUR At Emory the studiously inclined group are having quite a time with the freshman aspirants to the band. Folks hesitate to come to the assembly hall day or night because of the conglomeration of agonizing wails, moans, and other noises which are blown from the horns issued to those in the band. One night about one o'clock many who had retired in neighboring dormitories were awakened by a horrible shriek. Turning out in full force to seize the supposed murderer they found that it was only a too ambitious rat. He had decided that he wanted to practice for the band. It is rumored, that if those who are unable to sleep in the lecture room and are forced to sleep at night, are bothered much more with the nerve-raeking blasts, that those guilty freshmen shrieks on the little horns will turn to human agony. We, hear not even a "War Eagle". Why fifty years ago we were not even born; and fifty years from now most of us will be dead. So why not raise a little uncondensed h if you have the moral courage to break the silence? * * * * * 'AGE OF REASON,* CAUSES TURMOIL Upsala college a Lutheran institution, was thrown into turmoil recently when each of the 403 students received by mail an abridged copy of Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason," the gift of the Free Thinkers of America, There immediately followed caucuses, councils, debates and a large amount of excitement, while ways and means of rebuttal were projected by the co-educational student body. At the Free Thinkers' headquarters in New York. Joseph Lewis, the president of the organization, chuckled when reports of the excitement which had followed his little gift reached him. "It is simply a port of a propaganda program by which we hope to stimulate the students of America into thinking for themselves," he said. But at Upsala there were other and different views. A body of perturbed students called on the Rev. Dr. Carl G. Erickson, president of the college, for advice. "I would advise you," he told them, "to make no attacks on the book as such. But I should also suggest that you strongly condemn any and all efforts to dereligionize the colleges of America." KING HAS CO-EDS Beside the femininity of the freshman class, co-eds have appeared on the campus in person, at King College. This not only broke an age-old tradition but has caused quite a change in the student body. The expressions on the boys faces and their willingness to do errands for the beautiful co-eds, is taken as a sure sign that coeducation will go over big in the future at King College. All this upheavel is caused by the presence of only two co-eds; we wonder what would happen if they had one hundred and fifty. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. IT HAS been the custom at Auburn for a great many years to consider anyone who adversly criticized any custom or condition prevailing here as an opinionated ass suffering from a severe case of hypochondria. This very touchingly illustrates the perfervid loyalty of all good Auburn students but has resulted in a deplorable state of affairs. Frankly I believe that Auburn is in worse shape culturally and educationally than she has been in a good many years. Perhaps this intellectual decline is associated with our decline in athletics; perhaps it is due to the state of smug self-satisfaction existing here which in turn results from the comparative immunity from adverse criticism which we have enjoyed. There is entirely too much inclination to ignore the darker side of the picture. We have grown so accustomed to assuring ourselves and being assured by others that Auburn turns out the best engineers, the best teachers, the best farmers of any school in the South that we fail to realize that this is a rating which is subject to change and depends entirely on the character of Auburn graduates. We ignore the inability of so many seniors to speak or write correct English, the roughneck appearance of two-thirds of our students two-thirds of the time and their complete lack of ordinary manners at any social function. I realize, of course, that such conditions as these may seem desirable and amusing and very collegiate to many freshmen but surely our criterions of good behavior should not be those of freshmen. At the Engineering Smoker the other night, as the cigars were being passed around, about one-half of the students who were there rose from their seats, snatched the box of cigars from the hands of the man who was distributing them and fought over it. There were enough cigars to go around but each man apparently had only one idea—to get more than one cigar. Yes, it was funny, funny as hell, as all good Auburn students would say. Perhaps, though, a better word would be peculiar—a peculiar state of affairs to exist at any institution which terms itself a college. Surely, surely, in these days when late-dating is a crime and drinking a terrible offense some attention could be given to remedying this deplorable state of affairs. Perhaps the difficulty is that we have too many ill-mannered boors who are too virturous to enjoy a few words with a girl after a dance and too pure to take a drink of liquor but who feel no compunction about misbehaving at any social gathering. THE morning papers on Thursday came out with two inch head-line announcing that a survey made by the Carnegie Foundation showed that practically all colleges were paying their atheletes. Although many people had known this all the time it proved a great shock to them to see it in print. The news-papers should really be more tactful. Auburn, however, was not mentioned either as one that did or one that did not. Perhaps the inference is that it doesn't matter a great deal what we do with our team. But, seriously everyone here knows that our athletes are being helped to a considerable extent and there is a pretty general approval of it. Those who don't approve just don't care very much one way or the other. I have always suffered from a sneaking opinion that if we can't get good teams out of the men who come here primarily for the purpose of an education we had better not have any. However, a great many of these men would be worthy of help regardless of their athlelic ability. There's where the rub comes in—they aren't being helped because they deserve it but because they play football or some other sport. It will be an interesting commentary on the colleges of the country to see how they react to this charge. Perhaps it is too much to hope that one of them will have the courage to boldly admit the truth of the charges and justify or attempt to justify their position. Already our sister institution, the University of Alabama, has indignantly denied the imputation. Not that any-one ever thought that it was true of her in the first place Oh dear me, no, not that! THE. VILLIAN While joy gave clouds the light of stars, That beamed where'er they looked; And calves and lambs had tottering knees, Excited, while they sucked; While every bird enjoyed his song, Without one thought of harm or wrong— I turned my head and saw the wind, Not far from where I stood, Dragging the corn by her golden hair, Into a dark and lonely wood. —William H. Davies. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1929.

THE PLAINSMAN PAGE FIVE TWO SETS BROTHERS MEMBERS 1929 AUBURN FOOTBALL SQUAD Two sets of brothers are members of the 1929 Plainsmen football squad. Capt. Howell "Shorty" Long and Grady Long lead the brother combination as both are veterans and have played together at guard for several games. The Long family is making quite a reputation on the gridiron at Auburn as the brothers on the Bohler machine had a brother, Spurgeon Long, who starred at guard also at the Plains, graduating in 1926. The athletic Long family receive their mail at Falkville, Ala. Louis "Tubby" Jacobs, tackle, and Horace "Bud" Jacobs, halfback, are the other brothers that are strong contenders for regular posts on Coach Bohler's eleven. "Tubby" is the heaviest man out for the team, tipping the scales at 232 lbs. He has not seen Apparatus Invented To Detect Ant Sounds Pittsburg, Pa.—IP—Two scientists of the University of Pittsburg recently perfected an apparatus for detecting the sounds of ants in underground communication. A block of wood was placed upon a diaphram of an ordina|y telephone transmitter, which in turn was connected through batteries and ampliphiers to a pair of earphones. When the termites crawled over the block of wood the transmitter was agitated, resulting in sound vibrations which were clearly heard by the listener at the headset. When the ants became excited over something or other, their soldiers were found to pound their heads vigorously on the wood. This action could be clearly seen and heard at the same time. The investigators found that the ants could hear sound vibrations in the air very poorly or not at all, but were extremely sensitive to vibrations underground. For this reason it was thought that the head hammering was a method of communication. Because of this sensitivity to substratum vibrations, ants seldom are found to infest the ties of railroads carrying heavy traffice, or buildings containing machinery. The vibrations mean danger to them just as if one of their own number were giving the alarm by banging his head on the ground. service in any games this season because of a badly wrenched knee which has responded very slowly to treatment. The Jacobs boys starred at Bessemer High School before matriculating at Auburn. Several members of the varsity squad have had brothers that made gridiron history on Drake Field. Willie Roe Tamplin, the lightest man out for the team, had a brother to finish at Auburn in 1928 who was a very capable halfback; Willie Granger stepped in and filled his brother's shoes as the other member of the family was also a line-plunger and deadly tackier. Melford Snider, fullback, is the brother of Auburn's famous speed merchant and Olympic star—Euil "Snitz" Enider. Erquiet Taylor, tackle, and Dunham Harkins, center, are brothers of two of the Tigers most famous football players. Taylor is the brother of Babe Taylor, who was placed on the mythical All-Southern eleven in 1914 and 1915, and Harkins' brother was captain of the 1926 Orange and Blue gridiron team. The brother relations even extends to the managerial reins as Louis "Little Goat" Smith, assistant manager, is a brother of Hadden "Goat" Smith, who was manager of the 1927 machine. Professor Secures Forbidden Picture Of Gate in Kremlin State Laboratory Analyzes Samples During the spring, summer, and « early fall of 1929 the state chemical laboratory, in connection with the Alabama Polytechinc Institute, analyzed 250 samples of insecticides and fungicides to determine whether or not they were up to standard or guarantee. The samples were collected by representatives of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries at Montgomery and sent to Dr. B. B. Ross, State chemist. Samples of insecticides and fungicides are analyzed along with samples of fertilizers, feeds, and other commercial products. During the last six months the state chemical laboratory here has analyzed 2,500 samples of fertilizer. Seven chemists take part in the analytical work. They are Dr. Ross, Prof. C. L. Hare, J. M. Jackson, P. R. Bidez, H. W. Nixon, T. H. Burton, and George Keller. Service is our motto J.T.HUDSON High Quality Groceries • TIGER SANDWICH SHOP TRY OUR PLATE LUNCH SANDWICHES A SPECIALTY Next Door to Theatre New Brunswick, N. J.—(IP)—Dr. Harold A. Van Dorn, professor of political science at New Jersey State College for Women, was arrested temporarily this summer for defying the laws of Russia by taking photographs of a gate in the Kremlin at Moscow. When he crossed the border into Russia, Dr. Van Dorn was permitted to take his camera with him. Arriving in Moscow he intended to take pictures of various points of interest, particularly of the Kremlin, an ancient walled fortress, guarded by many a tall, burly Russian soldier. Accompanied by a Russian girl, who acted as his interpreter, Dr, Van Dorn arrived before the gates of the Kremlin, camera in hand. The soldiers seemed preoccupied. Dr. Van Dorn took out his camera unseen; but as he was setting the focus, the guards noticed him and, to a man, came upon him. Before they could reach him, however, he clicked the shutter, and became the possessor of a forbidden photograph of the gate to the fortress. The soldiers immediately demanded that he give them the plate. Dr. Van Dorn explained, with the aid of his interpreter, that the film was oh a roll and that to give them the one negative would ruin the entire outfit. As the group was discussing the matter, and officer appeared, and in no uncertain terms, ordered the professor to produce the picture. It was then that the idea occured to the professor that he could fool the government of Russia. He was using a roll of eight films, and the disputed picture was the fifth exposure' on the roll. Therefore, he could tear off the last film, which was a blank, hand it to the unsuspecting guards— who would not find out it was blank until they developed it— and retain the prized photograph. At this point Dr. Van Dorn's interpreter stepped up and demanded less harshness toward her employer. "How can you expect recognition from America when you do not treat its citizens civilly?" she queried. That official was sufficentily calmed by this to permit Dr. Van Dorn to go to a dark passage and remove the negative. He gave the soldiers the blank film, and they were perfectly satisfied. Dr. Van Dorn has had the negative developed and a print made, and finds that he has an excellent picture of the gates of the Kremlin. Amusements for Week Good Pictures at the Theatre and Plays Presented by Dramatic Club Features of the Week T. R. Gray PICTURE REVIEWS Monday and Tuesday—"Why Bring That Up." You've heard the four Marx brothers in "Cocoanuts," but wait until you've heard Moran and Mack in, "Why Bring That Up." After wisecracking over vaudeville circuits, phonograph records and microphones, these two master comedians turn to the "talkies" to do their stuff. "Why Bring That Up," is a study in black and white of the world's most famous brunettes—Moran and Mack. Octavus Roy Cohn, Alabaman—and incidentally, the best writer of negro stories in America, has written the skit, and went out to Holloywood to assist in the directing of it. You see plenty of white flesh along with the darkened stars also. A bevy of the best looking chorus girls seen in the pictures yet assists in the laugh feast. Wednesday—"Marianne." Probably there is a limit to the versalitity and cleverness of Marian Davis, but not so in, "Marianne." Marian carries a difficult French accent through ten reels without a relapse, sings, gives imitations, dances, glides smoothly from delicious comedy to superb pathos, and for good measure registers one of the most poignantly beautiful parting scenes ever filmed. Lawrence Gray, as the doughboy sweetheart, knocks the audience for a row of sound sequences by his acting and singing. Ukulele Ike, record art-ist, goes into a frenzy of songs and dances to entertain you. "Fame and the Poet," by Lord Dun-sany, is directed by Dryden Baugh-man. It is a stinging satire on fame, developed with the most interesting situations, which involve a poet, army officer, and Fame. Robert Brown is cast as the poet, Betty Anderson, Fame, and the George Sanford as the major. Major Dick returns from India, he ridicules his friends who is a poet, as a result Harry De Reeves, who is the poet, is ready to give up writing, when he composes a sonnet that makes him famous. He is ensnared by Fame tbut —well you'd better see for yourself. Mr. Baughman has designed and painted the sets, which are modern Vinnette sets. Professor J. D. Shaver, director of dramatics, has prepared, "Dregs," for your approval. It is a fast moving tragedy of the underworld acted in the most realistic manner.. Walter Crowe and Mildred Hood do the heavy leads. Both plays have good charaterizations and are well coached. Such a variety of entertainment will be enjoyed by those attending.

Stetson, director of the observatory. Dr. Stetson, who recently came to Ohio Wesleyan from Harvard University, has made a Specialty of investigating solar phenomena and, in cooperation with Greenleaf Pickard, engineer of the wireless Specialty Company of Boston, has found that the solar storms have remarkable effect upon radio reception and are doubtless responsible for many ter-restial disturbances not yet understood. The storm center just announced covers an area of more than 450,- 000,000 square miles and is in reality a terrific cyclone of gases caught in a whirl which would make a Florida hurrican appear infinitesimal in comparison, Dr. Stetson asserts. "This particular storm was discovered several days ago on the edge of the sun and the rotation of the latter is being brought nearer the line joining the earth and the sun," said Dr. Stetson. "What may happen when the spot crosses the center of the sun's disc cannot be safely predicted, but disturbances of the earth's magnetism, displays of the aurora borealis and marked changes in radio reception are known frequently to accompany such solar disturbances. "Further outbursts are likely to occur in the solar atmosphere as we are still near the period of sun spot maximum." Dr. Stetson said that although it is not generally known, radio reception is influenced by sun spots or storms, and not by seasons of the year. Winter reception in 1926-27 was many times poorer than in the summers preceding and following, Dr. Stetson said, although folks usually thing winter reception is better. Thursday—"The Delightful Rogue," featuring Monte Blue. "The Thirteenth Chair," Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's mystery thriller, plays Friday. It is- a mystery story that absorbs one to the ninth degree. The Play, Written by Bayard Veiller, is brought to the screen. Conrad Nagel, Leila Hyams and Margaret Wycherley impersonate, the lover, innocent girl, and the fake medium, respectfully. If it fails to thrill you, try reading "Dracula," in a graveyard at midnight. AUBURN PLAYERS Two one-act plays, "Fame and the Poet," and "Dregs," will be given by the dramatic department Monday night at the Little Theatre. This is the second public performance of the Players this season. Engineering Frats To Improve Grounds The pathway leading from the steps of Ramsey Hall across the grass to the sidewalk will soon be a thing of the past. Both Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering societies are fostering a movement to improve the grounds about the Engineering Buildings, and their first act will be to stop the practice of cutting across the grass in front of Ramsey Hall. Signs will be placed in plain view of all trespassers, and students will be requested to take heed, this path has long been an eye-sore, and it is hoped that the students will cooperate with these societies in improving the appearance of the campus. Salem, Mass.—(IP)—The "Salem Trade School" will never lose another football game, nor will it ever win one again. As a matter of fact it never has won a game, for there isn't any such school. But here's the low-down: Six year ago Ritchie Ray King, itching to take unto himself some of that which is called filthy lucre, organized a football team, created the mythical "Salem Trade School" for the team to play for, and proceeded to sign up high school games all over New England. "For the sake of dear old Siwash" quothe Ritchie Ray King, "faculty manager", "don't you boys dare win a football game. If you do you're fired." The plan was a success. High school coaches throughout this part of the country were overjoyed every time their boys played the "Salem Trade School." The Trade School line had holes in it a mile wide, and if the opposing team couldn't make such a hole, the Trade School boys made it for them. High School fans always turned out to see the games, because they knew the home town boys would win. This brought gate receipts, and Salem's Trade School received its share thereof. In the joy of victory, no high school official thought to investigate the gridders from Salem. Then some school principle wanted to play the Salem team on its home field, and the result was an exposure. Now several New England High Schools are looking for games to fill open dates on their 1929 schedules. Meanwhile, the eleven youths on the Trade School team have pocketed considerable money on the gridiron. Enemies Once Are Now Room Mates Raleigh Drennon, of Georgia Tech, and Johnnie Niemeic, of Notre Dame, deadly enemies for three years, are now rooming together in Ashland, Ky. They are employed by the Amco Steel Company and play on the company's football team. The blond demon, Drennon, is well known throughout the South for his superior play a guard position on Tech's team for the past three years. Drennon was selected in the composite all-Southern in 1928, finishing up his college footbaH- career by playing a splendid game in the Pasadena Rose Bowl against the University of California. Johnnie Niemeic was a fast-stepping halfback on Knute Rockne's far-famed Irish team. This boy is plenty good and was a threat to any opponent for the sixty minutes he usually played. During the Tech-Notre Dame game of 1928, Drennon was breaking through and nailing him for losses time after time. Niemeic bawled his line out for letting Raleigh through, but it was not the weakness of the Notre Dame line, as the line was not made that Drennon couldn't penetrate. Last year Raleigh was a "thorn in Johnnie's side," but this year they are sleeping side-by-side. The lion lies down with the lamb. Bryan, Texas—(IP)—Allen P. Powell, junior at Texas A. & M. College, was killed recently when the airplane in which he was riding crashed near his home at Centerville,' Texas. The accident happened on Powell's twenty-first birthday. At the end of the month the mere job of writing the checks takes so long that a man often wonders how his family found time to do all the shopping. W. R. KITTRIDGE INTERVIEWS SENIORS G. W. Kittridge, of the White Motor Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, visited the engineering school yesterday for the purpose of interviewing seniors in the department. He is the first representative to come to Auburn this year for that purpose. He interviewed a number of mechanical and electrical engineering students.

The new code also allows a husband to kill his wife's consort in a marital offense, and the same holds t r u e for the wife as against the husband. The code makes it certain, however, that no killer shall go unpunished if it is not the first time he has killed for the same reason, and then, only if the victims are caught in the act or about to commit the act.

Knopf, Price $4.00 "Queen Elizabeth" by Katharine Anthony is the most recent biography of Queen Elizabeth published. The author takes her material from the existing biographies and weaves together the facts obtained into her own impression of Queen Elizabeth's character. Since there are no set rules for writing a biography, this story may easily be t r e a t e d as a novel, of which Queen Elizabeth is the heroine, here is nui-ty of action and plenty of plot. The story concerns the life of one of the most interesting persons who lived during the sixteenth century and, being told in Katherine. Anthony's simple straighforward style, makes a most interesting book. It is certainly well worth the time consumed in reading it. Considering the book from a more substantial point of view) it becomes r a t h e r doubtful at times as to whether the author in her book gives the t r u e impression of Queen Elizabeth. Too much of Katherine Anthony's own handiwork is present. She appears as the dissecting artist who t e a r s down the already existing biographies and from the fragments fashions Elizabeth's character much as a novelist would develop on the characters in his novel. There are no facts given that are hard to believe. Nothing stated is left unexplained, and all the facts are from reliable sources. The book is instructive, but the extent of its instructiveness is somewhat curtailed by certain evident omissions. Several passages in Elizabeth's life are passed over rather hurriedly, and no mention whatever is made of literature during her time. Literature flourished under the English Renaissance during Elizabeth's reign and formed an important part in her life, yet Anthony makes no mention of it. Shakespeare is >not even mentioned, and Bacon is brought in most casually. Apparent amissions such as these seem to indicate that there are other omissions. In-addition to this there may be added the argument that only the interesting facts of Elizabeth's life are given. Were there no dull intervals? It hardly seems possible. Of course, the omission of dull facts makes the book more readable, but it detracts from the real value of the work. However, it is possible that the omitted passages were trival, and not worth writing about. It is yet too soon to determine. A.I.E.E. Appeals For A Larger Membership Thome S. Winter, Chairman of the A. I. E. E. made an appeal to all members present at the meeting Thursday night to help boost the attendance at the meetings of the society. The fact that the freshmen this year are taking practically no interest in the society was pointed out. Winter stated that the old members should be more active in getting the freshmen to the meetings. The program rendered was as follows, R. F. Hamm made a talk on the "Failure of Bearings at Bartlett's Ferry Power Station". In the talk he discussed in detail the trouble experienced there with the bearings in the generator units. W. R. Coleman spoke on "Steroscopic Motion Pict u r e s " . J. A. Willman gave a talk on "The Development of Electrical Engineering in Japan". Sigma Pi Is Visited By National Secretary Harold Jacobson, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Executive Secretary of Sigma Pi Fraternity, visited the Auburn Chapter Tuesday and Wednesday. He is traveling around the country visiting the various chapters in an effort to show them how to improve themselves by establishing a firmer financial basis. Mr. Jackson spent some time in explaining the budget system and how it can be successfully operated by the Chapter. The advantages, he pointed out are well worth the trouble it takes in putting in a new system. Not only will it help at the present time, but in the future. Mr. Jackson arrived from Tulane on Tuesday, where he visited the Tulane Chapter; he had come from California to Tulane. He left Thursday morning for Atlanta where he will visit Emory, and then will go to Mercer. Annual Ag Fair Will Take Place on Nov. 1 To Be Held Under Auspices of Ags, Home Ecs and Vets Definite announcements were received from the Ag club today concerning the Ag Fair to be held Friday, November 1st. The fair this year will not be sponsored by the school of agriculture alone, but will be under the joint auspices of the Ags, the Home Ecs, and the Vets. The fair will be formerly opened by a mammoth parade through town, led by the Auburn band. The parade will consist of floats representing the school of agriculture, the school of home economics, and the school of veterinary medicine. The fair exhibits will be on display on the first floor of Comer Hall, from 6 p. m. till 9 p. m. Another feature of the fair will be a program held on Ag hill at 7 p. m. Several numbers on the program will be: a boxing match with comic preliminaries, and a square dance, the participants of which will wear novel costumes, musical numbers, and several side-shows operated by freshmen members of the Ag club. The program will be terminated by the annual wheelbarrow polo-match between the freshmen and the sophomores" of the Ag club. Newnan Merriweather, senior manager and Howard Grey, junior manager, will be in charge of the fair. Auburn Stages Two Games at Ft. Benning Two Auburn football teams went to Fort Benning yesterday afternoon, engaging in games with two teams composed of soldiers. The Varsity scrubs played the Tank Corps, losing by the score 7-6. Coach McFad-en's freshman team, however, defeated the First Battalion 34-0. The scrubs made their points on a 90-yard drive down the field, a twelve yard pass from Tamplin to Kirkwood being good for a touchdown. The failure to kick the ext r a point lost 'the game. Sp^ann, Tamplin, Manley, and Weible composed the backfield which advanced the ball across the field. Spectators said that the entire freshman team worked in unison to overwhelm their opponents. All of the men on the rat team played in the game at different times. The passing combination of Phipps to Bas-sett was said to be largely responsible for the success of the rats. ALUMNI DISCUSSES PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH OF AUBURN (Continued from page 1) sium. He told them that the initial unit will cost $100,000. Alumni present endorsed the idea and pledged cooperation. Dr. Knapp explained that his plans were only tentative. He declared that a stadium is essential to the advancement of athletics at Auburn. He said that Auburn is now the only Southern conference college without a stadium large enough to accommodate important games on the campus. The meeting was called by Dr. Knapp and Dr. J. V. Brown, alumni secretary. General Robert E. Noble, president of the Association was present. He called the meeting to order and presented Dr. Knapp who proced-ed with the unfolding of his plans. Alumni present were General Robert E. Noble, Anniston; Judge William H. Samford, Montgomery; Mrs. Ira-lee Whittaker Benns, West Point, Ga.; J. W. Peabody, Atlanta; Forney Yarbrough, Atlanta; S. L. Toomer, Auburn; John Davis, Birmingham; J. M. Moore, Montgomery; J. V. Brown, Auburn; Dr. John Rush, Mobile; Prof. C. L. Hare, Auburn; J. P. Creel, Birmingham ; Josiah Flournoy, Columbus, Ga.; M. J.

PROGRESS MADE IN ENGINEER RESEARCH GRANT AND McCOY ARE TO SPEAK HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY (Continued from page 1) legionnaires and other world war veterans of the State are invited to attend and take part in the exercises. Tentative plans call for a military review by the 1,100 cadets of the R. O. T. C. unit at 10:15. Addresses by General McCoy and Commander Grant will follow the review. President Knapp has declared the afternoon a holiday and students and visitors will attend a football game on Drake Field between Georgia Tech and Auburn freshmen. This game is expected to be the first-year classic of Dixie, since both teams are boasting of players having outstanding prep-school records behind them. Major Kennedy said the complete program would include other attractive entertainment features, which as yet have not been scheduled. NOTICE!

This study is of much concern to the hydro-electric indust ry of Alabama. Prof. Arthur St. C. Dunstan, head of the department of electric engineering, is investigating the pitting effect of moving water on metals. He is endeavoring to find a fundamental basis or theory to explain some of the peculiar pitting effects which have been observed. Stresses in a reinforced concrete building are being investigated by Prof. John A. C. Callan and Prof. C. M. Suffish of the department of civil engineering. They are checking the relation between the calculated stresses and the actual stresses and deflections in the Ross Chemical Laboratory while it is under construction. In cooperation with the United States Bureau of Standards, the Federal Phosphate Company of Anniston, and the University of Alabama, the possibile manufacture of xylose, a form of sugar, from cotton seed hulls, peanut hulls and other waste products is being studied at Anniston. The aim is to point the way to the economic and profitable production of one or more products from these low grade materials. Max Bradshaw and Fred Acree are employed by the Alabama Polytechnic I n s t i t u t e and are devoting their ent i r e time to this work at Anniston. Considerable progress has been made. Dr. C. A. Basore, Auburn chemist, is making a study of the utilization of the residue after the extraction of xylose from cotton seed hulls, the purpose being to convert waste materials into useful products. Substantial progress has been made in this work. In connection with this Dr. Basore is studying the possible utilization of residue for feed and for fertilizer. The value of the residue depends not alone upon analysis but digestability as a food and value as a fertilizer. Dr. Basore is also making a study with a view to reducing the cost of the manufacture of xylose. He is endeavoring to find uses for by-products as a means of lowering costs. A study of the economic factors of the manufacture of xylose from agricultural waste is being made by Prof. J. E. Conn of the department of economics. This study includes a survey of costs of manufacture, cost of raw materials and other economic factors concerned. Along with other research studies Dr. Basore is studying possible and probable utilization of agricultural wastes for fuel and other chemical purposes. Briquetting, pulverizing, converting, and other chemical and mechanical processes are being tried. In conjunction with this Dr. Basore is studying proboble utilization of xylose. He is endeavoring to discover commercial uses for the product and to develop methods of manufacture of these derivitives. The dietary effect of xylose as a food is being given some study by Dr. Salmon of the Department of Animal Husbandry in his studies of nutrition. In cooperation with the industrial arts department of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute a study is being made by Dr. Basore of the composition and use of certain plastic materials and the best methods of working them. Prof. C. A. Baughman and H. H. Coleman of the department of highway engineering are studying highway traffic by making traffic counts, timing speeds, measuring distance between cars, and making special prearranged tests with automobiles to determine if possible the most efficient speed under average conditions. As soon as the new Ross Chemical Laboratory and the Textile Engineering buildings are finished the research work in textile chemistry will be started. New York—(IP)—Phillip A. Ed-, wards, Negro Olympic star and capt a in of the New York University t r a c k squad, has married Miss Edith Margaret Oedelschoff, 19, a white girl. Edwards will graduate from New York university next June, and then the couple will go to England where Edwards intends to study at Oxford University.

NUMBER 14 AUBURN DOWNS HOWARD 6 TO 0 "Mother and Dad" Day Finds Many Visitors in Auburn SPECIAL EXERCISES ARE HELD IN HONOR OF GUESTS TODAY Parents See Football Game Here This Afternoon TO BE A N ANNUAL AFFAIR "A" Club Dance Tonight To T e r m i n a t e Exercises A large number of students' parents registered today for Auburn's first Mothers' and Dads' Day exercises. The program, which has been under the direction of the Executive Cabinet, featured the game this afternoon between Auburn and Howard and a reception at seven at Smith Hall, tonight with the "A" Club Dance. Upon their arrival at Auburn, the mothers and dads registered at Lang-don Hall, and were given which ribbons which has served as a means of recognition during the day. Dr. Knapp personally greeted all arrivals. This morning the R. O. T. C. unit gave its first campus military review of the year. The unit formed in front of the Main Building, and preceded by the band, marched to the drill field. The review was held before a large assemblage of spectators. This afternoon the visitors were guests at the football game, and were given a manifestation of the Auburn Spirit. The rest of the day has been spent in touring the campus and inspecting the buildings. Fraternity houses have been thrown open all during the day and welcoming receptions reported given everywhere. At seven o'clock tonight, the parents will be guests at a reception at Smith Hall, the girls' dormitory. The affair will end at nine o'clock giving the mothers and dads plenty of time in which to make the dance. The exercises will end tonight with the "A" Club dance at the Gymnasium. The Nomads, an orchestra from Montgomery, will furnish the dance music. This marks the inauguration of the setting aside of a day to honor the fathers and mothers of Auburn students, with the idea of planning a program to give them an inside view of college life. Dr. Knapp stated that this will be an annual affair. Credit for the success of the day is largely due to the cooperation of Dr.-Knapp with the committee of the Executive Cabinet of which Streeter Wiatt is chairman. Robert Sansing, president of the Auburn Y. M. C. A., has also assisted considerably in carrying out the program. PROGRESS MADE IN ENGINEERRESEARCH Twelve Projects Started Since Organization Within six months after it was created, the engineering experiment station of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute succeeded* in starting 12 research projects, each of distinct economic value to the people of the State. Dean John J. Wilmore of the school of engineering is acting director of the station and two full-time and eight part-time workers are now engaged in engineering research. . At a meeting last February the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute created the engineering experiment station upon recommendation of President Bradford Knapp, who is a strong advocate and supporter of all lines of research work pertaining to the welfare and advancement of Alabama. Provision was made by him for four research fellowships with a view to training students for research and directing their attention to its opportunities. Project number one on the research list of the new engineering experiment station is a study of the corrosion of metals due to electrolytic action induced by moving water. This is being done by Professors C. R: Hixon and O. G. Quenelle. The purpose is to investigate the relation of electrolytic currents to the corro- (Continued on page 6) B. S. U. Convention To Be Held November 1 Visitors From Several Colleges To Be Present Auburn Spirit High Before Howard Tilt Great Interest Shown By Students As Game Drew Near The Auburn Spirit reigned at a mass meeting held last night, when a number of students, led by the Auburn Band, which always supports the mass meetings, paraded enthusiastically through the streets of Auburn. After the parade the students gathered at Langdon Hall amid much cheering. After a few yells, short talks were made by Dr. Knapp, Captain "Shorty" Long, and "Red" Roberts, cheerleader several y'ears ago. "Prexy" urged the students to cooperate with the cheerleaders in supporting the team at the game. "Shorty" told that the team was all primed and ready to go into the game. "Red" told of the Auburn Spirit, and was rewarded by loud and unified yells. The meeting ended after a few more yells were given. All students who expect to attend the Alabama Baptist Student Union Convention which will be held at the First Baptist Church of Auburn November first through the third are requested by the Auburn officials to register at the Baptist church on Sunday, October 27. Delegates are expected from all the chapters throughout the state. Special provision for rooms for the visiting delegates are being made through the cooperation of the Interfraternity Council at Auburn. To !da(te the Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi fraternities have agreed to keep the representatives of the various out of town chapters. This convention promises to be of special interest to Baptist students, and the committee in charge is urging all who can to attend. Faculty Dance Club Holds First Affair Prof. M. L. Nichols Elected President of Faculty Club Faculty members and their ladies who attended the first faculty dance of the year in the Alumni Gymnasium Friday evening were delighted with music played by Bob Butler and his "Auburn Collegians," orchestra according to expressions made by the dancers on the floor. During intermission Prof. M. L. Nichols was elected pre 'dent of the Faculty Dance Club, and Npf. F. E. Guyton, secretary-treasurer. Prof. Nichols succeeds Prof. L. S. Blake and Prof. Guyton succeeds Charles W. Edwards. The new administration is planning several other dances which are expected to add much to the faculty social calendar during the year, Prof. Nichols said. Grant and McCoy Are to Speak Here on Armistice Day Auburn Freshmen To Play Tech Frosh In Afternoon LEGION TO COOPERATE Military Review Is Also Scheduled For Celebration With Hon. George Grant, Troy, State commander of the American Legion, and Major General Frank R. McCoy, Atlanta, commander of the Fourth Corps Area, booked as the principal speakers, the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is anticipating a big celebration Armistice Day, November 11. This is an annual affair at Auburn in which the American Legion always plays a conspicuous part. The John H. Wills Post of the Legion, with members in Auburn and Opelika, is helping with arrangements. C. S. Whittlesey, of Opelika, post commander, President Bradford Knapp, and Major John T. Kennedy, Auburn commandant, announce that (Continued on page 6) DR. KNAPP COMMENTS ONCOLLEGEPAPERAT PLAINSMAN BANQUET Staff Holds First Banquet • Friday Night Dr. Knapp commented favorably on the policies of the Plainsman at the first banquet of the staff which was held last night in the Eastern Star rooms. Besides the staff members and Dr. Knapp, there were several visitors present. The college president, himself a member of the Plainsman staff, mentioned the possibilities of someday expanding the school paper into a daily, both for the college and the town. P. O. Davis, director of public information, called attention to the fact that the Plainsman has steadily gone forward since his undergraduate days in 1914. He said that the Auburn Spirit was just the same now as it has always been. Walter L. Randolph, of the Publicity Department; Professors Cecil Shuford and Harold Hutchins, both of the English department, also gave short talks. Several members of the Plainsman staff were called upon to speak. Dick Jones, sports editor, presented his associate editors tokens of appreciation of their work on the sports staff. Editor-in-chief A. V. Blankenship acted as toastmaster. A five course dinner was served during the banquet. Indian Dance Features Auburn-Howard Game Spectators at the Auburn- Howard game had the, pleasure of witnesing a most gracefully executed Indian War Dance done by "Chief Bull Sessions" Nethery, Chief "Shooting Bull" Drey, "Chief Bull Durham" Quinlivan, and Chief Bull Ony" Headley. As the Band marched off the field at the half, the four notorious Indian Chiefs in full native costume entered from the four conrers of the field, and danced out to the center of the grid to the weird dismal music of "Chief Shooting Bull's tomtom. On reaching the destined spot, a loud "Wa-Hoo, (the Indian's War Eagle) was emitted simultaneously from the four Redskins, and they broke into the ancient War Dance of the tribe of Hawk Mogul. At the conclusion of this solemn ceremony, the four chiefs triumphantly marched from the battle field. Gabie Drey, A. W. Headley, S. C. Nethery, and J. R. Quinlivan, were the participants in the episode, which constituted the annual Kappa Kappa Psi initiation. Alumni Discuss Plans for Future Growth of Auburn Cooperation and Support Are Promised By The Alumni THIRTY ALUMNI PRESENT Vice-Presidents Alumni Association Enthusiastic Plans For Election Are Made At Rat Meeting Will Be Held As Prodived For Undergraduate Constitution Blue Key To Present Flag To Institution College Colors Will Appear On New Banner The Blue Key Honor Society announces that it will present a large college flag to the institute in the near future. The banner will be made of wool bunting; the school colors will be carried out, and it will be blue, with the college seal in burnt orange in the middle. The size will be five feet by nine and one-half feet; the flag will be flown on special occasions below the American flag. A Blue Key official said that it will be similar to the standard now in the military offices. Blue Key is a national organization, with chapters in almost all of the larger colleges in the United States; the Auburn chapter was established in the early part of 1926. Preliminary preparations for the election of class officers were made at a meeting of the freshman class held in Broun Hall auditorium last Thursday morning. This is the first business meeting of the class of 1933. Carmon E. Teague, president of the Executive Cabinet, stated that the election will be held as provided for in Article III, of the Regulations of Permanent Committees of the Cabinet, of the student constitution. Candidates for offices must be nominated by a signed nomination blank signed by twenty-five members of the class (Art. Ill, Sec. 4), and the blank must be submitted in the following form: We, the undersigned members of the Class of do hereby nominate (Nominee) for (Office). (Sponsors' signatures—twenty-five or more). I hereby accept the nomination. (Signature of Nominee). These nominations must be turned in at the Y. M. C. A. office by next Wednesday at twelve o'clock. The election will be held Thursday, November 7, and ballotting will be the preferential system. (Article III, Section 11.) Phi's Have Reception For Mothers and Dads The new home of Phi Delta Theta fraternity was the scene of a combination housewarming and homecoming this afternoon. Many alumni and fathers and mothers of the members visited the house during the day. A reception, which was held at 5:30, was attended by a large number of students, both fraternity and non-fraternity men. A cordial welcome was tendered all who visited the Phi Delta Theta house during the day, it was said. NOTICE! PLAINSMAN STAFF There will be a meeting of the Editorial Staff of the Plainsman tomorow (Sunday) evening at 7 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. Plans for continuing the building program now under way at Auburn were explained by President Knapp to a group of alumni who gathered here Saturday to talk with him about the development of the college along all lines. Thirty alumni from all parts of Alabama and fron Georgia were in session with Dr. Knapp for more than two hours during the forenoon. Dr. Knapp told them that buildings as now proposed call for a cash outlay of more than $1,400,000 which is more than the money now in sight. Alumni were asked to cooperate and their cooperation was asured. The plans proposed by him call for the erection of a stadium in the valley immediately west of the gymna- (Continued on page 6) AUBURN OFFICIALS TO ATTEND MEETING OF LAND-GRANTSCHOOLS Five Representatives To Attend Chicago Convention Five Auburn officials will attend the 43rd meeting of ihe Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities at Chicago November 12, 13, and 14.

Cabinet Discussion Groups Are In Midst of Close Contest AUBURN TO BE IN STATE AIR TOUR Greetings to Auburn and to President Bradford Knapp were extended from the Pathfinder of the Alabama State Air Tour which circled low over Auburn, Saturday morning. The message was signed by Ralph Hurst and John Donalson and was dropped in front of the President's home. It is understood that Auburn will be included in the tour. Seven new captains were elected to serve in the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet at its meeting last Friday night. These new members and the other captains will appoint lieutenants who will, in turn, select members to form small discussion groups. The new members of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are Eu gene Grey, David Mosley, A. F. Baas, O. S. Adams, John Parks, T. F Camps, and W. C. Kelly. Discussion groups organized by the various lieutenants will discuss topics that will be elected for discussion and will turn in a report each week. The reports will determine the standing of the groups in a contest for free tickets to the closing banquet. The lieutenants or a representative of each group must attend the Normal Discussion Meetings in the Y. M. C. A. Assembly room each Monday evening at 6:30. Mr. J. Ward Nelson, state Y. M. C. A. secretary, will speak at the Normal Discussion Meeting Monday night. A very interesting program and helpful advice is promised to all who attend the meeting. Rules for the contest between the various groups are posted on the Y. M. C. A. bulletin board. Injured Students Are Rapidly Recovering Dr. Thomas reported today that W. T. Spivey, injured in the wreck which last Saturday claimed the life of W. T. Shepard, was now resting easily at the East Alabama Hospital in Opelika. Spivey is suffering from a fractured skull, but the wound is healing so rapidly that it is no longer necessary to keep a special nurse with him. Raymond Ranson, and V. H. Hjell-man, two Auburn students suffering from ruptured appendix were also reported rapidly recovering from operations. They too are in the hospital at Opelika. Hjellman is quite a distance from his home. He came to Auburn from New York. Spicer made one yard on a line play. Burns went off right tackle for two yards. Levvy made six yards around right end.

This aim is very successfully accomplished. Every student in Agricultural courses, Home Economics, and Veterinary Medicine is expected to do his or her bit toward the success of the paper by subscribing. The ultimate success of the publication rests upon its circulation, and this matter is being stressed by the circulation staff. Being of such outstanding value in its line, the Farmer should claim the attention and support of almost every student in the above mentioned schools, as well as those on other campuses.

Overton _.._ Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis _. Circulation Mgr. THE PLAINSMAN commends the fraternities for the way the majority of the freshmen are being treated. The days of barbarism have passed, even in college circles. Mothers a n d Dads Welcome To A u b u rn The interest shown in Mothers' and Dads' Day is very encouraging. Many parents from various parts of. the state are here for the first-time to see Auburn. They have seen where their sons and daughters are instructed for the greater battle to be fought later on; they have seen for themselves the Auburn that they have heard So much about. Many of the parents have been here before; they are merely renewing friendships formed years ago; they are gratified to see the growth shown by the institution whose welfare they have followed for many years. Auburn welcomes them. It is her desire that they will spend a very happy day here; that they go away feeling that the hospitality accorded them by students and townspeople is of the sincerest nature. She wants them to be so favorably impressed that in the future trips to this college will be anticipated with pleasure. Auburn is fortunate in having so many visitors today. It proves that the people of the state are interested in her growth, her educational advantages, and her future pos- . sibilities. We are sure that this marks a great day in putting Auburn before those people who need most to know about her—those whose sons are attending. This is something that will grow in importance and magnitude in the future if it is properly carried out. It is very necessary, therefore, that the students and friends of the college extend a most cordial welcome to the visitors. B u i l d i n g P r o g r am A n n o u n c e d Recently A few days ago the executive committee of the board of trustees approved the plans and specifications for four new buildings to be constructed within the year at an approximate cost of §600,000. This action taken by the executive committee is typical of the progressive program that has been outlined, and carried out in part, for Auburn during the past years. Auburn, despite the efforts of a few, is steadily progressing and leaying behind the characteristic traits of the typical small town college. No longer do we turn the entire freshman class, as far as looks are concerned, into a group of convicts, by shaving their heads, no longer is a man looked upon as a curiosity if he comes to class dressed in a suit instead of a pair of dirty overalls; no longer do we literally tear the town wide open after a mass meeting. Some few seem to have the idea that these signs of progress are only an indication of the decline of the famous Auburn spirit. Every once in a while these rash ideas get the better of their common sense and the result is a disgraceful display of bad' taste. The paint job of a week or so ago is a shining example of this. All that can be said on this subject is that a few misguided souls have an entirely mistaken conception of what the true Auburn spirit really is. This spirit, among other things, is a courage which comes to the front in times of adversity, a generosity which shows itself when victory is ours, a willingness to see both sides of the question, a desire to be a good sport and determination to see a thing, once started, through to a finish. Auburn is rapidly coming to the front under the able leadership of Dr. Knapp who, although having been here only a year, has in his possession a full portion of the real Aubur_n spirit. It is up to the student body to advance at least as fast as the school does and to show Dr. Knapp that we too have our share of the spirit and are willing to do our part in this progressive program. F a r m e r Improved In O p e n i n g Issue The Plainsman adopts this means of congratulating the staff of its sister publication, The Alabama Farmer, upon its opening, depicting a lively and wide-awake studeilt departmental magazine. Each member of the Staff is to be commended for the phenomenal success of the paper, and the brilliancy of this opening issue. The Alabama Farmer is published solely by and under student supervision, being the official organ of the Student's Agricultural Club—reputed as being the liveliest student organization on the campus. It. carries feature articles constituting scientific reports on the farming industry and its problems, written by students and instructors; news relating the findings of various research and extension problems relative to farm operations; personal notes on Agricultural graduates; a page of campus news; and various other items of general interest to those connected with agriculture in any way. The Farmer was founded ten years ago by agricultural students here, and has shown remarkable advancement since that time. At present it holds the distinction of membership in the Association of American Agricultural College Magazines, which marks it among the best of its kind in the country. We feel certain it justly merits this outstanding distinction. With a circulation" of more than one -thousand copies, it is being read quite extensively. It goes to every county in Alabama, almost all adjoining states, many distant states, and some foreign countries. The Farmer is designed primarily for Alabama interests, but holds quite a bit of interest in many other sections. Its princi- Letters to the Editor Dear Editor— While I was in Birmingham last weekend, I tried to obtain a room at the Birmingham Y. M. C. A. only to be told that Auburn Y. M. C. A. membership cards were not recognized there. The clerk told me that in the past Auburn students had stolen blankets and towels from them, and that they would not allow them to stay there now. This is certainly a slam on both the student body and the Y. M. C. A. of Auburn. I do not believe the accusation true. Possibly sometime in the past a student thoughtlessly appropriated for his own use one of the Birmingham Y. M. C. A.'s blankets, but is this a • current practice among Auburn students? I hope not. It seems to me that the local Y. M. C. A. should immediately take action to have our membership cards recognized anywhere in the United States. What is the benefit of belonging to the Y. M. C. A. here if we are not recognized elsewhere? This information proves one of two things. Either the students at Auburn abuse their privileges as members of the Y. M. C. A. when away from here, or the Y. M. C. A. is becoming defunct in its actions. In either case there should be an immediate remedy. Certainly the student body is not deserving of being called a bunch of theives, and I think that the Y. M. C. A. should at once take steps to remedy this situation. Yours for a better Y. M. C. A., ALOYIOUS ASPHALT. The Gecko I'm the Gecko who goes out for football. When I get a scratched leg, I limp to let everybody know that I am a big "Cave man" football player. I know the game well and if anyone asks me about it, I can tell him the way it should be played although I cannot do it very well. I try to let the coach know how to pull certain plays, but he can't appreciate good suggestions. If anyone wants to know the results of the games to b,e played in the future, just ask me; I am the prophet of today concerning results of future games. P. S. I am not even out for Varsity, but think I am a bis noise in intramural. IH .Klii^r ^& ^ • H s K K ^ H ^ • • L ^ ' " M ^ ^ ^ ^ K * ' ^ | n i f I had a mighty good letter from Ope-lika which reads in part as follows: "I feel quite sure you will be glad to hear of thev many, many favorable comments about 'our' Auburn students who were here at the Fair. One of the officials told me the Auburn boys' general behavior was the BEST he had seen since the Fair was organized nine years ago. This made we proud too as an old Auburn man." Another quotation from the same letter is: "Let me congratulate the boys on their parade at Montgomery. I reached there just as the parade started and it gave me a thrill to see the fine dignity and soldierly appearance of that fine, clean-cut bunch of gentlemen of Auburn." These words ought to be very gratifying to the student body. I had rather have that kind of reputation than have had a great many other things in the world. * * * * * A number of the members of our "executive family" including the registrar's office, the deans and the President are studying the matter of absences from classes. These appear to me to be much greater than they ought to be and yet this institution has one of the most severe rules regarding the effect of absences which I have ever seen. It seems to me that essentially it is necessary that a student attend classes, lectures, and laboratory work with sufficient regularity to get the work and that in case they make up the work missed by absences and are able to demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of subject, they ought to receive a passing grade or a higher grade in case they show a higher proficiency. I have been wondering what we might do to change the attitude of mind of the student body on this subject. I think we ought to call in certain student groups and discuss it with them. It alarms me that 322 students during the last year lost at least one credit hour at college because of excessive absences. This does not represent the total number pf students who had absences from classes, but only those whose absences were excessive. We are collecting the evidence and endeavoring to look into the situation with as great care as possible. Some members of the staff have (suggested thaf if we had a set of signal bells in each of the buildings, it would help in class attendance because it would insure prompt dismissal and prompt convening in each instance—particularly would.this be true regarding buildings somewhat distant from the central part of the campus. * * * * * The last of next, week we are to entertain the Baptist Student Conference at Auburn. I hope we shall be able to demonstrate, to them the hospitality, the character, and the worth of this institution. It makes us all realize how greatly we need a hotel and additional dormitories for entertaining people who come in. « AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « "Little Things" By Tom Bigbee Are we becoming shiftless, lazy, indifferent snobbish, hard hearted, or what? Is it possible that we are just too busy to look out for these other things which seem quite little, yet in the long run total up to mean so much to the institution? No doubt we fail to recognize the importance of doing little things well, and at the right time. We need to pick up some dropped stitches. Speaking of things out of time, we wish to refer you to the Letter to the Editor in a recent issue of the Plainsman. What occasion Chris had for such criticism, we cannot fathom. We do conclude, however, that he is a Frosh—even too fresh to be witty—seeking publicity at any possible point other than that of paddles swung by members of the Vigilance Committee. We heartily agree with the thoughts presented in the recent editorial pertaining to decreasing interest in campus activities. There is such a thing as going in too heavy on activities; yet we might remember that they, in moderation, may afford benefits approaching the value of classes themselves. Three streamer headlines in one issue— that's displaying news! it occurred in last week's Plainsman. Auburn is to be displayed before the eyes of the entire State in exhibits at the fair in Montgomery this week. This will be a bigger advertisement for the college than one might imagine. , "All things come to the other fellow if you will only sit down and wait." The only people who really enjoy hearing your troubles are lawyers; they get paid for it. You are waiting for your ships to come in—have you sent one out?

His artistic efforts are almost wasted in Auburn. * * * * * * * * Say, this guy Lovelace must be a fast worker; he hadn't been in the Cotton Mill town five minutes before he had a girl listening to every word he uttered and crying for more. That's what we call speed. * * * * * * * * She must have been a sign painters's daughter—she surely was familiar with exterior decorations. * * » . * * * * * Over at one of the neighboring schools a former students, who was an aviator during the war but who had studied Ag in college, was visiting at his old college.

WAR IMPOSSIBLE NOW Science has made war impossible, according to Francis P. Garvan, of New York, who told the American Chemical Society at Minneapolis so. He said, "I believe that modern chemistry plus aviation has made Avar impossible. In case of a modern war between great powers it would be foolish and useless for a battleship or cruiser to leave its dock or an army to take the field." He seems to have forgotten that the day before the ship, battles were all fought on land. And now that we have the airship, can they not carry destruction even farther than an army or a battleship? $ * si' # * NO ONE SHALL KNOW THE HOUR At Emory the studiously inclined group are having quite a time with the freshman aspirants to the band. Folks hesitate to come to the assembly hall day or night because of the conglomeration of agonizing wails, moans, and other noises which are blown from the horns issued to those in the band. One night about one o'clock many who had retired in neighboring dormitories were awakened by a horrible shriek. Turning out in full force to seize the supposed murderer they found that it was only a too ambitious rat. He had decided that he wanted to practice for the band. It is rumored, that if those who are unable to sleep in the lecture room and are forced to sleep at night, are bothered much more with the nerve-raeking blasts, that those guilty freshmen shrieks on the little horns will turn to human agony. We, hear not even a "War Eagle". Why fifty years ago we were not even born; and fifty years from now most of us will be dead. So why not raise a little uncondensed h if you have the moral courage to break the silence? * * * * * 'AGE OF REASON,* CAUSES TURMOIL Upsala college a Lutheran institution, was thrown into turmoil recently when each of the 403 students received by mail an abridged copy of Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason," the gift of the Free Thinkers of America, There immediately followed caucuses, councils, debates and a large amount of excitement, while ways and means of rebuttal were projected by the co-educational student body. At the Free Thinkers' headquarters in New York. Joseph Lewis, the president of the organization, chuckled when reports of the excitement which had followed his little gift reached him. "It is simply a port of a propaganda program by which we hope to stimulate the students of America into thinking for themselves," he said. But at Upsala there were other and different views. A body of perturbed students called on the Rev. Dr. Carl G. Erickson, president of the college, for advice. "I would advise you," he told them, "to make no attacks on the book as such. But I should also suggest that you strongly condemn any and all efforts to dereligionize the colleges of America." KING HAS CO-EDS Beside the femininity of the freshman class, co-eds have appeared on the campus in person, at King College. This not only broke an age-old tradition but has caused quite a change in the student body. The expressions on the boys faces and their willingness to do errands for the beautiful co-eds, is taken as a sure sign that coeducation will go over big in the future at King College. All this upheavel is caused by the presence of only two co-eds; we wonder what would happen if they had one hundred and fifty. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. IT HAS been the custom at Auburn for a great many years to consider anyone who adversly criticized any custom or condition prevailing here as an opinionated ass suffering from a severe case of hypochondria. This very touchingly illustrates the perfervid loyalty of all good Auburn students but has resulted in a deplorable state of affairs. Frankly I believe that Auburn is in worse shape culturally and educationally than she has been in a good many years. Perhaps this intellectual decline is associated with our decline in athletics; perhaps it is due to the state of smug self-satisfaction existing here which in turn results from the comparative immunity from adverse criticism which we have enjoyed. There is entirely too much inclination to ignore the darker side of the picture. We have grown so accustomed to assuring ourselves and being assured by others that Auburn turns out the best engineers, the best teachers, the best farmers of any school in the South that we fail to realize that this is a rating which is subject to change and depends entirely on the character of Auburn graduates. We ignore the inability of so many seniors to speak or write correct English, the roughneck appearance of two-thirds of our students two-thirds of the time and their complete lack of ordinary manners at any social function. I realize, of course, that such conditions as these may seem desirable and amusing and very collegiate to many freshmen but surely our criterions of good behavior should not be those of freshmen. At the Engineering Smoker the other night, as the cigars were being passed around, about one-half of the students who were there rose from their seats, snatched the box of cigars from the hands of the man who was distributing them and fought over it. There were enough cigars to go around but each man apparently had only one idea—to get more than one cigar. Yes, it was funny, funny as hell, as all good Auburn students would say. Perhaps, though, a better word would be peculiar—a peculiar state of affairs to exist at any institution which terms itself a college. Surely, surely, in these days when late-dating is a crime and drinking a terrible offense some attention could be given to remedying this deplorable state of affairs. Perhaps the difficulty is that we have too many ill-mannered boors who are too virturous to enjoy a few words with a girl after a dance and too pure to take a drink of liquor but who feel no compunction about misbehaving at any social gathering. THE morning papers on Thursday came out with two inch head-line announcing that a survey made by the Carnegie Foundation showed that practically all colleges were paying their atheletes. Although many people had known this all the time it proved a great shock to them to see it in print. The news-papers should really be more tactful. Auburn, however, was not mentioned either as one that did or one that did not. Perhaps the inference is that it doesn't matter a great deal what we do with our team. But, seriously everyone here knows that our athletes are being helped to a considerable extent and there is a pretty general approval of it. Those who don't approve just don't care very much one way or the other. I have always suffered from a sneaking opinion that if we can't get good teams out of the men who come here primarily for the purpose of an education we had better not have any. However, a great many of these men would be worthy of help regardless of their athlelic ability. There's where the rub comes in—they aren't being helped because they deserve it but because they play football or some other sport. It will be an interesting commentary on the colleges of the country to see how they react to this charge. Perhaps it is too much to hope that one of them will have the courage to boldly admit the truth of the charges and justify or attempt to justify their position. Already our sister institution, the University of Alabama, has indignantly denied the imputation. Not that any-one ever thought that it was true of her in the first place Oh dear me, no, not that! THE. VILLIAN While joy gave clouds the light of stars, That beamed where'er they looked; And calves and lambs had tottering knees, Excited, while they sucked; While every bird enjoyed his song, Without one thought of harm or wrong— I turned my head and saw the wind, Not far from where I stood, Dragging the corn by her golden hair, Into a dark and lonely wood. —William H. Davies. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1929.

THE PLAINSMAN PAGE FIVE TWO SETS BROTHERS MEMBERS 1929 AUBURN FOOTBALL SQUAD Two sets of brothers are members of the 1929 Plainsmen football squad. Capt. Howell "Shorty" Long and Grady Long lead the brother combination as both are veterans and have played together at guard for several games. The Long family is making quite a reputation on the gridiron at Auburn as the brothers on the Bohler machine had a brother, Spurgeon Long, who starred at guard also at the Plains, graduating in 1926. The athletic Long family receive their mail at Falkville, Ala. Louis "Tubby" Jacobs, tackle, and Horace "Bud" Jacobs, halfback, are the other brothers that are strong contenders for regular posts on Coach Bohler's eleven. "Tubby" is the heaviest man out for the team, tipping the scales at 232 lbs. He has not seen Apparatus Invented To Detect Ant Sounds Pittsburg, Pa.—IP—Two scientists of the University of Pittsburg recently perfected an apparatus for detecting the sounds of ants in underground communication. A block of wood was placed upon a diaphram of an ordina|y telephone transmitter, which in turn was connected through batteries and ampliphiers to a pair of earphones. When the termites crawled over the block of wood the transmitter was agitated, resulting in sound vibrations which were clearly heard by the listener at the headset. When the ants became excited over something or other, their soldiers were found to pound their heads vigorously on the wood. This action could be clearly seen and heard at the same time. The investigators found that the ants could hear sound vibrations in the air very poorly or not at all, but were extremely sensitive to vibrations underground. For this reason it was thought that the head hammering was a method of communication. Because of this sensitivity to substratum vibrations, ants seldom are found to infest the ties of railroads carrying heavy traffice, or buildings containing machinery. The vibrations mean danger to them just as if one of their own number were giving the alarm by banging his head on the ground. service in any games this season because of a badly wrenched knee which has responded very slowly to treatment. The Jacobs boys starred at Bessemer High School before matriculating at Auburn. Several members of the varsity squad have had brothers that made gridiron history on Drake Field. Willie Roe Tamplin, the lightest man out for the team, had a brother to finish at Auburn in 1928 who was a very capable halfback; Willie Granger stepped in and filled his brother's shoes as the other member of the family was also a line-plunger and deadly tackier. Melford Snider, fullback, is the brother of Auburn's famous speed merchant and Olympic star—Euil "Snitz" Enider. Erquiet Taylor, tackle, and Dunham Harkins, center, are brothers of two of the Tigers most famous football players. Taylor is the brother of Babe Taylor, who was placed on the mythical All-Southern eleven in 1914 and 1915, and Harkins' brother was captain of the 1926 Orange and Blue gridiron team. The brother relations even extends to the managerial reins as Louis "Little Goat" Smith, assistant manager, is a brother of Hadden "Goat" Smith, who was manager of the 1927 machine. Professor Secures Forbidden Picture Of Gate in Kremlin State Laboratory Analyzes Samples During the spring, summer, and « early fall of 1929 the state chemical laboratory, in connection with the Alabama Polytechinc Institute, analyzed 250 samples of insecticides and fungicides to determine whether or not they were up to standard or guarantee. The samples were collected by representatives of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries at Montgomery and sent to Dr. B. B. Ross, State chemist. Samples of insecticides and fungicides are analyzed along with samples of fertilizers, feeds, and other commercial products. During the last six months the state chemical laboratory here has analyzed 2,500 samples of fertilizer. Seven chemists take part in the analytical work. They are Dr. Ross, Prof. C. L. Hare, J. M. Jackson, P. R. Bidez, H. W. Nixon, T. H. Burton, and George Keller. Service is our motto J.T.HUDSON High Quality Groceries • TIGER SANDWICH SHOP TRY OUR PLATE LUNCH SANDWICHES A SPECIALTY Next Door to Theatre New Brunswick, N. J.—(IP)—Dr. Harold A. Van Dorn, professor of political science at New Jersey State College for Women, was arrested temporarily this summer for defying the laws of Russia by taking photographs of a gate in the Kremlin at Moscow. When he crossed the border into Russia, Dr. Van Dorn was permitted to take his camera with him. Arriving in Moscow he intended to take pictures of various points of interest, particularly of the Kremlin, an ancient walled fortress, guarded by many a tall, burly Russian soldier. Accompanied by a Russian girl, who acted as his interpreter, Dr, Van Dorn arrived before the gates of the Kremlin, camera in hand. The soldiers seemed preoccupied. Dr. Van Dorn took out his camera unseen; but as he was setting the focus, the guards noticed him and, to a man, came upon him. Before they could reach him, however, he clicked the shutter, and became the possessor of a forbidden photograph of the gate to the fortress. The soldiers immediately demanded that he give them the plate. Dr. Van Dorn explained, with the aid of his interpreter, that the film was oh a roll and that to give them the one negative would ruin the entire outfit. As the group was discussing the matter, and officer appeared, and in no uncertain terms, ordered the professor to produce the picture. It was then that the idea occured to the professor that he could fool the government of Russia. He was using a roll of eight films, and the disputed picture was the fifth exposure' on the roll. Therefore, he could tear off the last film, which was a blank, hand it to the unsuspecting guards— who would not find out it was blank until they developed it— and retain the prized photograph. At this point Dr. Van Dorn's interpreter stepped up and demanded less harshness toward her employer. "How can you expect recognition from America when you do not treat its citizens civilly?" she queried. That official was sufficentily calmed by this to permit Dr. Van Dorn to go to a dark passage and remove the negative. He gave the soldiers the blank film, and they were perfectly satisfied. Dr. Van Dorn has had the negative developed and a print made, and finds that he has an excellent picture of the gates of the Kremlin. Amusements for Week Good Pictures at the Theatre and Plays Presented by Dramatic Club Features of the Week T. R. Gray PICTURE REVIEWS Monday and Tuesday—"Why Bring That Up." You've heard the four Marx brothers in "Cocoanuts," but wait until you've heard Moran and Mack in, "Why Bring That Up." After wisecracking over vaudeville circuits, phonograph records and microphones, these two master comedians turn to the "talkies" to do their stuff. "Why Bring That Up," is a study in black and white of the world's most famous brunettes—Moran and Mack. Octavus Roy Cohn, Alabaman—and incidentally, the best writer of negro stories in America, has written the skit, and went out to Holloywood to assist in the directing of it. You see plenty of white flesh along with the darkened stars also. A bevy of the best looking chorus girls seen in the pictures yet assists in the laugh feast. Wednesday—"Marianne." Probably there is a limit to the versalitity and cleverness of Marian Davis, but not so in, "Marianne." Marian carries a difficult French accent through ten reels without a relapse, sings, gives imitations, dances, glides smoothly from delicious comedy to superb pathos, and for good measure registers one of the most poignantly beautiful parting scenes ever filmed. Lawrence Gray, as the doughboy sweetheart, knocks the audience for a row of sound sequences by his acting and singing. Ukulele Ike, record art-ist, goes into a frenzy of songs and dances to entertain you. "Fame and the Poet," by Lord Dun-sany, is directed by Dryden Baugh-man. It is a stinging satire on fame, developed with the most interesting situations, which involve a poet, army officer, and Fame. Robert Brown is cast as the poet, Betty Anderson, Fame, and the George Sanford as the major. Major Dick returns from India, he ridicules his friends who is a poet, as a result Harry De Reeves, who is the poet, is ready to give up writing, when he composes a sonnet that makes him famous. He is ensnared by Fame tbut —well you'd better see for yourself. Mr. Baughman has designed and painted the sets, which are modern Vinnette sets. Professor J. D. Shaver, director of dramatics, has prepared, "Dregs," for your approval. It is a fast moving tragedy of the underworld acted in the most realistic manner..

Stetson, director of the observatory. Dr. Stetson, who recently came to Ohio Wesleyan from Harvard University, has made a Specialty of investigating solar phenomena and, in cooperation with Greenleaf Pickard, engineer of the wireless Specialty Company of Boston, has found that the solar storms have remarkable effect upon radio reception and are doubtless responsible for many ter-restial disturbances not yet understood. The storm center just announced covers an area of more than 450,- 000,000 square miles and is in reality a terrific cyclone of gases caught in a whirl which would make a Florida hurrican appear infinitesimal in comparison, Dr. Stetson asserts. "This particular storm was discovered several days ago on the edge of the sun and the rotation of the latter is being brought nearer the line joining the earth and the sun," said Dr. Stetson. "What may happen when the spot crosses the center of the sun's disc cannot be safely predicted, but disturbances of the earth's magnetism, displays of the aurora borealis and marked changes in radio reception are known frequently to accompany such solar disturbances. "Further outbursts are likely to occur in the solar atmosphere as we are still near the period of sun spot maximum." Dr. Stetson said that although it is not generally known, radio reception is influenced by sun spots or storms, and not by seasons of the year. Winter reception in 1926-27 was many times poorer than in the summers preceding and following, Dr. Stetson said, although folks usually thing winter reception is better.

AUBURN PLAYERS Two one-act plays, "Fame and the Poet," and "Dregs," will be given by the dramatic department Monday night at the Little Theatre. This is the second public performance of the Players this season. Engineering Frats To Improve Grounds The pathway leading from the steps of Ramsey Hall across the grass to the sidewalk will soon be a thing of the past. Both Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering societies are fostering a movement to improve the grounds about the Engineering Buildings, and their first act will be to stop the practice of cutting across the grass in front of Ramsey Hall. Signs will be placed in plain view of all trespassers, and students will be requested to take heed, this path has long been an eye-sore, and it is hoped that the students will cooperate with these societies in improving the appearance of the campus. Salem, Mass.—(IP)—The "Salem Trade School" will never lose another football game, nor will it ever win one again. As a matter of fact it never has won a game, for there isn't any such school. But here's the low-down: Six year ago Ritchie Ray King, itching to take unto himself some of that which is called filthy lucre, organized a football team, created the mythical "Salem Trade School" for the team to play for, and proceeded to sign up high school games all over New England. "For the sake of dear old Siwash" quothe Ritchie Ray King, "faculty manager", "don't you boys dare win a football game. If you do you're fired." The plan was a success. High school coaches throughout this part of the country were overjoyed every time their boys played the "Salem Trade School." The Trade School line had holes in it a mile wide, and if the opposing team couldn't make such a hole, the Trade School boys made it for them. High School fans always turned out to see the games, because they knew the home town boys would win. This brought gate receipts, and Salem's Trade School received its share thereof. In the joy of victory, no high school official thought to investigate the gridders from Salem. Then some school principle wanted to play the Salem team on its home field, and the result was an exposure. Now several New England High Schools are looking for games to fill open dates on their 1929 schedules. Meanwhile, the eleven youths on the Trade School team have pocketed considerable money on the gridiron. Enemies Once Are Now Room Mates Raleigh Drennon, of Georgia Tech, and Johnnie Niemeic, of Notre Dame, deadly enemies for three years, are now rooming together in Ashland, Ky. They are employed by the Amco Steel Company and play on the company's football team. The blond demon, Drennon, is well known throughout the South for his superior play a guard position on Tech's team for the past three years. Drennon was selected in the composite all-Southern in 1928, finishing up his college footbaH- career by playing a splendid game in the Pasadena Rose Bowl against the University of California. Johnnie Niemeic was a fast-stepping halfback on Knute Rockne's far-famed Irish team. This boy is plenty good and was a threat to any opponent for the sixty minutes he usually played. During the Tech-Notre Dame game of 1928, Drennon was breaking through and nailing him for losses time after time. Niemeic bawled his line out for letting Raleigh through, but it was not the weakness of the Notre Dame line, as the line was not made that Drennon couldn't penetrate. Last year Raleigh was a "thorn in Johnnie's side," but this year they are sleeping side-by-side. The lion lies down with the lamb. Bryan, Texas—(IP)—Allen P. Powell, junior at Texas A. & M. College, was killed recently when the airplane in which he was riding crashed near his home at Centerville,' Texas. The accident happened on Powell's twenty-first birthday. At the end of the month the mere job of writing the checks takes so long that a man often wonders how his family found time to do all the shopping. W. R. KITTRIDGE INTERVIEWS SENIORS G. W. Kittridge, of the White Motor Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, visited the engineering school yesterday for the purpose of interviewing seniors in the department. He is the first representative to come to Auburn this year for that purpose. He interviewed a number of mechanical and electrical engineering students.

The new code also allows a husband to kill his wife's consort in a marital offense, and the same holds t r u e for the wife as against the husband. The code makes it certain, however, that no killer shall go unpunished if it is not the first time he has killed for the same reason, and then, only if the victims are caught in the act or about to commit the act.

Knopf, Price $4.00 "Queen Elizabeth" by Katharine Anthony is the most recent biography of Queen Elizabeth published. The author takes her material from the existing biographies and weaves together the facts obtained into her own impression of Queen Elizabeth's character. Since there are no set rules for writing a biography, this story may easily be t r e a t e d as a novel, of which Queen Elizabeth is the heroine, here is nui-ty of action and plenty of plot. The story concerns the life of one of the most interesting persons who lived during the sixteenth century and, being told in Katherine. Anthony's simple straighforward style, makes a most interesting book. It is certainly well worth the time consumed in reading it. Considering the book from a more substantial point of view) it becomes r a t h e r doubtful at times as to whether the author in her book gives the t r u e impression of Queen Elizabeth. Too much of Katherine Anthony's own handiwork is present. She appears as the dissecting artist who t e a r s down the already existing biographies and from the fragments fashions Elizabeth's character much as a novelist would develop on the characters in his novel. There are no facts given that are hard to believe. Nothing stated is left unexplained, and all the facts are from reliable sources. The book is instructive, but the extent of its instructiveness is somewhat curtailed by certain evident omissions. Several passages in Elizabeth's life are passed over rather hurriedly, and no mention whatever is made of literature during her time. Literature flourished under the English Renaissance during Elizabeth's reign and formed an important part in her life, yet Anthony makes no mention of it. Shakespeare is >not even mentioned, and Bacon is brought in most casually. Apparent amissions such as these seem to indicate that there are other omissions. In-addition to this there may be added the argument that only the interesting facts of Elizabeth's life are given. Were there no dull intervals? It hardly seems possible. Of course, the omission of dull facts makes the book more readable, but it detracts from the real value of the work. However, it is possible that the omitted passages were trival, and not worth writing about. It is yet too soon to determine. A.I.E.E. Appeals For A Larger Membership Thome S. Winter, Chairman of the A. I. E. E. made an appeal to all members present at the meeting Thursday night to help boost the attendance at the meetings of the society. The fact that the freshmen this year are taking practically no interest in the society was pointed out. Winter stated that the old members should be more active in getting the freshmen to the meetings. The program rendered was as follows, R. F. Hamm made a talk on the "Failure of Bearings at Bartlett's Ferry Power Station". In the talk he discussed in detail the trouble experienced there with the bearings in the generator units. W. R. Coleman spoke on "Steroscopic Motion Pict u r e s " . J. A. Willman gave a talk on "The Development of Electrical Engineering in Japan". Sigma Pi Is Visited By National Secretary Harold Jacobson, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Executive Secretary of Sigma Pi Fraternity, visited the Auburn Chapter Tuesday and Wednesday. He is traveling around the country visiting the various chapters in an effort to show them how to improve themselves by establishing a firmer financial basis. Mr. Jackson spent some time in explaining the budget system and how it can be successfully operated by the Chapter. The advantages, he pointed out are well worth the trouble it takes in putting in a new system. Not only will it help at the present time, but in the future. Mr. Jackson arrived from Tulane on Tuesday, where he visited the Tulane Chapter; he had come from California to Tulane. He left Thursday morning for Atlanta where he will visit Emory, and then will go to Mercer. Annual Ag Fair Will Take Place on Nov. 1 To Be Held Under Auspices of Ags, Home Ecs and Vets Definite announcements were received from the Ag club today concerning the Ag Fair to be held Friday, November 1st. The fair this year will not be sponsored by the school of agriculture alone, but will be under the joint auspices of the Ags, the Home Ecs, and the Vets. The fair will be formerly opened by a mammoth parade through town, led by the Auburn band. The parade will consist of floats representing the school of agriculture, the school of home economics, and the school of veterinary medicine. The fair exhibits will be on display on the first floor of Comer Hall, from 6 p. m. till 9 p. m. Another feature of the fair will be a program held on Ag hill at 7 p. m. Several numbers on the program will be: a boxing match with comic preliminaries, and a square dance, the participants of which will wear novel costumes, musical numbers, and several side-shows operated by freshmen members of the Ag club. The program will be terminated by the annual wheelbarrow polo-match between the freshmen and the sophomores" of the Ag club. Newnan Merriweather, senior manager and Howard Grey, junior manager, will be in charge of the fair. Auburn Stages Two Games at Ft. Benning Two Auburn football teams went to Fort Benning yesterday afternoon, engaging in games with two teams composed of soldiers. The Varsity scrubs played the Tank Corps, losing by the score 7-6. Coach McFad-en's freshman team, however, defeated the First Battalion 34-0. The scrubs made their points on a 90-yard drive down the field, a twelve yard pass from Tamplin to Kirkwood being good for a touchdown. The failure to kick the ext r a point lost 'the game. Sp^ann, Tamplin, Manley, and Weible composed the backfield which advanced the ball across the field. Spectators said that the entire freshman team worked in unison to overwhelm their opponents. All of the men on the rat team played in the game at different times. The passing combination of Phipps to Bas-sett was said to be largely responsible for the success of the rats. ALUMNI DISCUSSES PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH OF AUBURN (Continued from page 1) sium. He told them that the initial unit will cost $100,000. Alumni present endorsed the idea and pledged cooperation. Dr. Knapp explained that his plans were only tentative. He declared that a stadium is essential to the advancement of athletics at Auburn. He said that Auburn is now the only Southern conference college without a stadium large enough to accommodate important games on the campus. The meeting was called by Dr. Knapp and Dr. J. V. Brown, alumni secretary. General Robert E. Noble, president of the Association was present. He called the meeting to order and presented Dr. Knapp who proced-ed with the unfolding of his plans. Alumni present were General Robert E. Noble, Anniston; Judge William H. Samford, Montgomery; Mrs. Ira-lee Whittaker Benns, West Point, Ga.; J. W. Peabody, Atlanta; Forney Yarbrough, Atlanta; S. L. Toomer, Auburn; John Davis, Birmingham; J. M. Moore, Montgomery; J. V. Brown, Auburn; Dr. John Rush, Mobile; Prof. C. L. Hare, Auburn; J. P. Creel, Birmingham ; Josiah Flournoy, Columbus, Ga.; M. J.

PROGRESS MADE IN ENGINEER RESEARCH GRANT AND McCOY ARE TO SPEAK HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY (Continued from page 1) legionnaires and other world war veterans of the State are invited to attend and take part in the exercises. Tentative plans call for a military review by the 1,100 cadets of the R. O. T. C. unit at 10:15. Addresses by General McCoy and Commander Grant will follow the review. President Knapp has declared the afternoon a holiday and students and visitors will attend a football game on Drake Field between Georgia Tech and Auburn freshmen. This game is expected to be the first-year classic of Dixie, since both teams are boasting of players having outstanding prep-school records behind them. Major Kennedy said the complete program would include other attractive entertainment features, which as yet have not been scheduled. NOTICE!

This study is of much concern to the hydro-electric indust ry of Alabama. Prof. Arthur St. C. Dunstan, head of the department of electric engineering, is investigating the pitting effect of moving water on metals. He is endeavoring to find a fundamental basis or theory to explain some of the peculiar pitting effects which have been observed. Stresses in a reinforced concrete building are being investigated by Prof. John A. C. Callan and Prof. C. M. Suffish of the department of civil engineering. They are checking the relation between the calculated stresses and the actual stresses and deflections in the Ross Chemical Laboratory while it is under construction. In cooperation with the United States Bureau of Standards, the Federal Phosphate Company of Anniston, and the University of Alabama, the possibile manufacture of xylose, a form of sugar, from cotton seed hulls, peanut hulls and other waste products is being studied at Anniston. The aim is to point the way to the economic and profitable production of one or more products from these low grade materials. Max Bradshaw and Fred Acree are employed by the Alabama Polytechnic I n s t i t u t e and are devoting their ent i r e time to this work at Anniston. Considerable progress has been made. Dr. C. A. Basore, Auburn chemist, is making a study of the utilization of the residue after the extraction of xylose from cotton seed hulls, the purpose being to convert waste materials into useful products. Substantial progress has been made in this work. In connection with this Dr. Basore is studying the possible utilization of residue for feed and for fertilizer. The value of the residue depends not alone upon analysis but digestability as a food and value as a fertilizer. Dr. Basore is also making a study with a view to reducing the cost of the manufacture of xylose. He is endeavoring to find uses for by-products as a means of lowering costs. A study of the economic factors of the manufacture of xylose from agricultural waste is being made by Prof. J. E. Conn of the department of economics. This study includes a survey of costs of manufacture, cost of raw materials and other economic factors concerned. Along with other research studies Dr. Basore is studying possible and probable utilization of agricultural wastes for fuel and other chemical purposes. Briquetting, pulverizing, converting, and other chemical and mechanical processes are being tried. In conjunction with this Dr. Basore is studying proboble utilization of xylose. He is endeavoring to discover commercial uses for the product and to develop methods of manufacture of these derivitives. The dietary effect of xylose as a food is being given some study by Dr. Salmon of the Department of Animal Husbandry in his studies of nutrition. In cooperation with the industrial arts department of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute a study is being made by Dr. Basore of the composition and use of certain plastic materials and the best methods of working them. Prof. C. A. Baughman and H. H. Coleman of the department of highway engineering are studying highway traffic by making traffic counts, timing speeds, measuring distance between cars, and making special prearranged tests with automobiles to determine if possible the most efficient speed under average conditions. As soon as the new Ross Chemical Laboratory and the Textile Engineering buildings are finished the research work in textile chemistry will be started. New York—(IP)—Phillip A.
