Before 12,000 fans, including
Governor B. M. Miller, Auburn's sen­sational
Tigers met their first real
test of the 1932 season Saturday in
Birmingham and turned back Duke
University 18 to 7 in the feature
game of the South last week-end.
The Plainsmen played alert foot­ball,
seizing two Duke fumbles in the
first quarter and converting them in­to
touchdowns. The Blue Devils
came back in the second half to make
their only score as a result of a series
of long passes. Auburn cinched the
game by a sustained 65-yard drive in
the last quarter with Kimbrell tak­ing
the ball across the goal line be­hind
perfect interference.
Led by Captain Jimmie Hitchcock,
Firpo Phipps, Casey Kimbrell, and
Marion Talley, the Tigers gained 233
yards from scrimmage against 142
for Duke. The Tigers made 12 first
downs to Duke's 7. Auburn tried 8
passes and completed 4 for a total
of 58 yards. Duke attempted 12 and
completed 3 for-a gain of 56 yards.
Captain Hitchcock gained 96 yards
in 18 trips. Cox of Duke was next

Health Services to
Phenix City Stopped
Due to recent changes in the boun­dary
line of Lee County, the Health
Department discontinued Tuesday
services to Phenix City and vicinity.
Citizens in the new territory ac­quired
by Lee County will soon re­ceive
full time health service, includ­ing
thorough physical examinations
for school children.
Of all the colleges in the United
States maintaining field artillery
units, the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute ranks second in the number
of graduates to receive commissions
in the Field Artillery Reserves, ac­cording
to information released by
the office of Chief of Field Artillery
in Washington.
Among the 7,351 field artillery re­serve
officers 750, or more than 10
per cent, are Auburn graduates. The
only institution exceeding Auburn is
Purdue University with 941 officers.
Purdue's student enrollment is more
than three times that of Auburn.
For the school year ending in
1932, two institutions slightly ex­ceeded
Auburn in field artillery com­missions—
Purdue with 119 and Okla­homa
University^with 115, whereas
Auburn's number was 113.
With the enrollment this year in
the second year advanced class of
field artillery at Auburn, the prob­ability
is that this institution will
lead all others in the number com­missioned
in the Field Artillery re­serves
for 1932-33 school year, said
lajor G. H. Franke, Auburn com­mandant.

Cotton Be Used For
Collateral On Loans
The U. S. Department of Agricul­ture
announced a plan for liberaliz­ing
crop production loans in cotton
states by accepting • cotton as collat­eral
on loans of this year. The De­partment
will allow nine cents per
pound on middling seven-eighths
inch.
The purpose of the plan is to en­courage
the storing of cotton, reliev­ing
the pressure on the market, and
assisting the farmers to care for
their families during the coming
winter.
GARMANY URGES STUDENTS TO
HAVE PICTURES MADE A T ONCE
Students who have not received
cards from the Glomerata staff indi­cating
when their pictures are to be
taken for this year's book are asked
to report at once to the office in the
basement of Alumni Hall without
further delay. Staff members ex­plained
that lists from which cards
were sent were not complete and as
a result a few students have not re­ceived
notices.
The Glomerata photographer will
remain in Auburn a few days more
and all students, whether they have
received a card or not, are urged to
report for their pictures to be taken
at the earliest possible time. Pic­tures
are being made daily 9:00 to
11:30 a. m. and 1:30 to 5:30 p. m.
at the Glomerata office.
Editor Garmany says that photo­graphs
for the military section will be
taken after those for the class sec­tions
and fraternity panels have been
completed. More than 600 students
have had their potographs made to
date, he said, and the staff hopes this
year to carry the pictures of at least
1,000 of the student body.
In order that fraternity panels will
adequately represent the various or­ganizations,
it is urged that all Greeks
have their pictures made just as soon
as possible.
Freshmen are leading the other
classes in the number of photographs
taken and the staff says that very few
members of the Senior class have yet
arranged for the pictures to go in this
year's book.
All individual pictures for the book
must be made within the next few
days since the staff has set Novem­ber
15 as the time for all material
on the class sections to reach the en­graver.
Auburn Parent-Teachers' Associ­ation
will meet at the Lee County
High School on Friday, October 14,
at three o'clock. The meeting will
be held informally in the cafeteria
room. Teachers will be present and
accessible to parents for discussion
of their children's individual prob­lems.
Health, the subject of the after­noon's
program will be ably present­ed
by Miss Jessie Garrison, director
of Physical and Health Education of
the State Department of Education'.
Miss Garrison, will discuss Alabama's
health program and its adaptation to
local needs.
Mrs. G. H. Carlovitz, chairman of
the Summer Round-up Committee will
give a report of the year's work.
Boxing Card Be Held
In Opelika On Friday
A boxing/card will be held under
the auspices of the American Legion
Auxiliary Welfare Fund in Opelika
on Friday night, October 14, at 8:15
in the evening.
The main bout will be between
Bobby Wilcox, of Atlanta, and Bunk­er
Hill, of Fort Benning. Prelimi­nary
bouts will be fought by Jackie
Willis and James Lassiter, Charlie
Campbell and Bud Lassiter, and a
colored bout by C. P. Bailey and the
LaFayette Knockout King.
The matches will be held at the'
American Legion Arena on North
Railroad Avenue. Admission for Au­burn
students will be twenty-five
cents.
Dr. R. L. Johns, of the State De­partment
of Education, rendered an
interesting, lecture before the local
Lions Club at its meeting October 6,
at 7 p. m. Dr. Johns took for his
subject, "Education", and gave a
clear and engaging discussion.
In addition to the lecture given by
Dr. Johns, Mrs. Grimes addressed the
club on The Needs of the P. T. A.
She stressed the necessity of coopera­tion
between the parent and teacher
in realizing the ends of the organiza­tion.
Mr. Collins Cameron delivered a
delightful program of vocal selec
tions.
The Auburn Knights orchestra will
make its first appearance in Atlanta
at a dance to be given Saturday eve­ning
at College Hall, located next to
the Georgian Terrace Hotel. The
affair will begin at 8 p. m. and end
at midnight; the last half hour will be
broadcast over Station WGST.
Two vocalists, Conrad Stayton and
Paul Smith, have been added to the
membership of the orchestra for the
Opening Dances. The former is well
known on the campus, having been a
featured member of the Auburn Glee
Club for several seasons, as well as
a member of the Auburn male quar­tet.
His singing will be a distinct at­traction
on the musical program for
the Sophomore Hop. Stayton, a
member of the Senior class, studied
voice in Chicago during; the past
summer. . •
Smith, who is a new student at
Auburn, has also had extensive ex­perience
in vocal work. He spent
several months of last fall singing
at the Browning Lane Inn in West
Collinswood, N. J., in addition to fil­ling
a number of engagements in
night clubs elsewhere.
At present, the orchestra is at
work on its repertoire for the dances,
and a program of the best music is
being promised attendants.

1872 Penny Is Sent
To Administrators
A penny coined in 1872—the date
of the founding of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute—has been sent to
Dean John J. Wilmore by Mr. A. N.
Breneman, Battles Wharf, Alabama.
It will be kept as a memento. It
has never been in circulation.
Mr. Breneman received it from the
mint in Philadelphia. He explained
that -he is not a "coin collector" but
that he has a few coins. The one
sent to Auburn looks as though it
was coined very recently.
A prize of ten dollars will be
awarded to the winning freshman
team in a series of debates to be
sponsored by forensic society.
Freshmen may register in teams of
two with Prof. Eugene D. Hess, and
a list of debate subjects may be ob­tained
from either Prof. Hess or R.
W. Wages, president of local chapter
of Phi Delta Gamma.
The first of. these elimination de­bates
will be announced as soon as all
freshmen have had time to register.
From those competing will be chosen
candidates for the freshman debating
team.
Twenty Opelikans
Attend Duke Game
Twenty Opelika football fans at­tended
the Auburn-Duke game in
Birmingham last Saturday, according
to the Opelika Daily News. This
was helpful in swelling the ranks of
the Auburn supporters.
SECRETARY OF S. V. M. TO BE
IN AUBURN ON OCTOBER 1 3 - 14
NOTICE!
Students are asked to stay off the
baseball field while it is being work­ed
on for the coming season. Con­siderable
improvements are under
way on the field, and managers re­quest
that students cooperate.
Miss Elizabeth Manget, traveling
secretary of the Student Volunteer
Movement for the South Atlantic
Region will be in Auburn Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning, Oc­tober
13th and 14th.
Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock
she will meet.with the Y. M. C. A.
Cabinet for the purpose of helping in
their program and giving information
concerning the S. V. M. Thursday
evening at 6:45 o'clock she will speak
at the Methodist Church and all stu­dents
and faculty members are urged
to come out and hear her at this time.
Her talk will not be entirely for the
welfare of the S. V. M., but will be
of interest to' all students, faculty
members, and towns people.
Thursday night she will meet with
the local Student Volunteer Group to
discuss their problems and local in­terests.
There is a very active group
on the Auburn campus which was or­ganized
last Spring. It is hoped that
a much wider interest will be de­veloped
by having such a person as
Miss Manget on the campus.
She will be open for personal inter­view's
Friday morning and it is hoped
that a large number of students will
make use of this opportunity to be­come
better acquainted with Miss
Manget as well as a chance to per­haps
solve some problems of their
own.
Miss Manget lived in China during
her childhood days having been the
daughter of a medical missionary to
that country. She has received her
college training in this country and is
a graduate of Duke University of
last year.
There can be no let-up in the lair
of the Tiger this week. On Satur­day
comes the renewal of one of the
oldest football feuds in southern foot­ball,
in the annual battle with Geor­gia
Tech's Yellow Jackets.
Members of the Auburn coaching
staff, who have scouted the Tornado,
bring back word that the Jackets
have at least a fifty percent improved
team over that of last year. Prac­tically
every Tech regular has seen
either two or three years of service,
playing against some of the strong­est
teams in the country. An experi­enced
team of this type is always
hard to cope with and the fact that
Coach Alexander's men fought the
powerful Kentucky team to a stand­still
last Saturday indicates that the
Tigers will have their hands full this
week-end.
Fortunately the • Auburn team
came out of the Duke battle with no
injuries of consequence and will be
in fine physical shape for Tech. The
varsity players who saw service
against Duke were given a rest Monr
day afternoon, but hard scrimmages
are in order for the remainder of the
week.
The offense was a bit ragged in the
Duke game and the backs are spend­ing
lots of time this week in perfect­ing
the timing of the plays. The
guards have been practicing pulling
out of the line while the remainder
of the linemen are seeking to improve
their speed in charging.
Tiny Holmes splendid showing in
the Duke game apparently makes him
a fixture at the right tackle position,
although "Red" Prim is capable of
playing jam-up football and should
make a bid to regain a starting berth
in the scrimmages this week.
NOTICE!
Tickets for the Georgia Tech- game
will be on sale from one till five on
Wednesday and Thursday, and from
ten till twelve on Friday. Seventy
cents will be charged on student's
tickets for this particular game.

SOPHOMORE HOP
At four o'clock on the afternoon of Oc­tober
21 the Auburn Knights will strike the
first chord of music that will proclaim to
the Auburn world that the Sophomore Hop
has become an actuality. Many bid cards
have been sent out. Elaborate prepara­tions
are being made. And the Knights
are practicing with unhead-of industry.
In short, the opening dances promise to be
one of the major social events of the Fall
season.
The Social Committee has reduced the
admission price within reach of every stu­dent,
thus insuring a worth while crowd.
We rarely stop to think how much the ma­jor
dances add to the social life here. We
go to classes, write up reports, read count­less
books, and listen to the sonorous voices
of rather • bored professors until we are
somewhat bleary-eyed and sick of it all. All
this routine places us under a nervous
strain which the dances usually break.
It would be needless for us to reiterate
that society is a necessary part in any in­dividual's
life. We do not and cannot live
to ourselves. And to neglect the social side
of one's life is to warp one's outlook on
things. The attractions offered by the
Sophomore Hop are multitudinous. Those
who fail to attend the dances do not know
what they are missing.
A CORRECTION
We wish to correct here a mis-statement
made by one of our staff writers in the
last editorial on intra-mural athletics. Ma­jor
Franke calls our attention to the fact
that intra-mural athletics have never been
promoted here under the leadership of the
Military Department, but that this depart­ment
has aided the Athletic Department in
the work.
Major Franke further states that "should
the college authorities find it advisable and
practicable to reinstitute this activity, the
Military Department will be found eager
to assist in any possible way." From this
we infer that in order to revive intra­mural
athletics here we need only the sup­port
of the college authorities.
EQUITATION FOR WOMEN
Nearing the end of its second week's
work, the Ladies' Riding Class is steadily
improving. Enrollment for this ^semester
is considerably larger than that of last year
and shows that equitation for women is be­coming
one of the outstanding activities of
the school. Although not in the college
curricula this class has aroused much in­terest
among the women of the faculty
families and the co-eds.
It is an unusual thing that a school is
able to offer the advantage of a riding class
such as Auburn does. Few schools of the
same caliber as A. P. t. offer instruction
in equitation under U.^S. military officers.
The nominal sum required for a semester's
attendance can _ in no way compare with
the usually prohibitative prices for riding
classes. The class is well worth time and
money spent, not only for the pleasure de­rived
from it but because of the horse-womanship
each member achieves. Several
members of the class of last year have
even put thek ability to good use, having
secured positions in summer camps as in­structors
in equitation. This is a field
which is open to anyone having had suffi­cient
instruction and experience as many
girls' camps over the country welcome any­one
capable of teaching horse back riding.
Northern camps seem to give southern girls
a slight preference so that a girl capable
of .teaching equitation and assisting in
minor sports has a good chance to get a
place in one of these camps.
This activity was revived in the spring
of 1931 after a lapse of a number of years.
The military department was instrumental
in securing this riding privilege for the
co-eds and women of the faculty. A Gymk­hana
was held last April for the benefit of
the Polo Club and in the events of the show
could be seen the progress the class had
made. This year promises to be very suc­cessful
as a larger number has come out
and there are two divisions in the course.
Every woman who possibly can should take
advantage of the equitation class at Au­burn.

We have been rather authoritatively in­formed

Thunderations
By Gum
Some smart aleck remarked the other
day that Insull power companies' drama

The honor societies ponder gravely ovei
Fall elections; the pledges smile broadly;
ribbons flutter in the wind; and the whole
asinine business of collegiate education
wobbles on with faltering pace.
Coach Wynne's boys are anticipating a
full two weeks with one yellow jacket to

Letters to the Editor
* October 10, 1932.
Editor of The Plainsman,
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Sir:
In your issue of last Friday, October 7th,
there appeared an editorial under the title
"Intra-Mural Athletics". The motive of
the article seems excellent but a statement
contained in the first paragraph might well
be misleading to many. It is not substanti­ated
by facfy and in view of the high na­tional
rating attained by the Plainsman
last year it is assumed that you seek and
strive for accuracy and correction of errors.
You state that up to 1929 a system of
intra-mural sports was conducted under
the leadership of the War Department and
that there seems to be little reason for a
discontinuance of this program other than
a lack of leadership. Thus, the writer
seems to place, very definitely, the respon­sibility
for discontinuance of this activity
and its non-existence now, upon lack of
leadership in the Military Department of
the college.
It may be of interest to you and the writ­er
of the article to know that, so far as can
be determined, intra-mural athletics at Au­burn
has never been under the leadership
of the Military Department. Over a period,
in years past, this department aided the
Athletic Department in the conduct of such
sports but never carried the first respon­sibility
for the same.
Instructiops from, the War Department
in Washington do not comtemplate the as­sumption
of such a responsibility by the
Military Department but seems rather to
discourage the same as evidenced by the
following quotation "It is assumed that
students enrolled in the ROTC will partici­pate
in such mass athletics, group games,
and other forms of physical training and
athletics as may be prescribed by the in­stitution
for the students of each college
year."
The institution of and the maintenance
of intra-mural sports is of course a matter
for the college authorities to decide. No
effort has been made by the undersigned to
determine why they were discontinued or
why they do not exist today. It is known
that considerable funds for coaches, equip­ment,
fields and other facilities^ are re­quired
for their proper conduct, involving
maximum benefit'-to the maximum number.
This fact alone may offer sufficient reason
for their non-existence at Auburn today.
It would seem foolish to venture on such
an activity unless it could be effectively
executed. There are many reasons pro and
con on this subject. The undersigned
strongly favors intra-mural sports, even to
the point of requiring indulgence by every
physically able student in some sport for
a minimum number of hours each week of
each college year. It seems entirely fitting
that a healthy mind should be associated
with the healthiest ^possible physique and
habits formed through required and prop­erly
conducted intra-mural athletics would
perhaps best assure this for the greatest
possible number.
Should the college authorities find it
advisable and practicable to reinstitute this
activity, the Military Department will be
found eager to assist in any possible way.
Yours very truly,

OUR FOOTBALL team can match
touchdowns with any team in the
conference, but no team /is really
great until it can kick the point after touch­down.
Saturday we played Wallace Wade's
team. Everyone agrees that he has pro­duced
some of the greatest teams the coun­try
has known, and he taught those teams
to kick the point after touchdown. Ala­bama
beat Washington 20 to 19 by kicking
more goals than Washington did. They
tied Stanford in the last four minutes of
the game, 7 to 7 by, kicking the point after
touchdown.
Saturday Wade's team made one touch­down,
and they kicked goal. Auburn made
three touchdowns and failed to kick goal
at all. Last year we lost to Florida, 13 to
12; year before last we lost to Tech, 14 to
12, all for the same reason. Alabama still
remembers Wade's teaching^ now being car­ried
on by Thomas; Saturday they made
four .touchdowns and kicked four goals.
Alabama has realized' that a point after
touchdown sometimes means as much as a
touchdown. As soon as Auburn realizes
that, we will be well on the way to a con­ference
championship. As things are,
someone is going to be disappointed when
Tulane or South Carolina beats us by one
or two points.
We have halfbacks who can score on
any team, but they can't kick goal. There's
not a man in the backfield who can be de­pended
on to kick goal. Perhaps an end
or a linesman can kick the goal; I'd like to
see some of them try. Remember Catfish
Smith being called back to kick -all' of
Georgia's points?

Forgive me my dogs. Yesterday I saw
a birddog asleep, aflop on his right ear.
The point hung out in front and would
have tickled his nose had the wind been
blowing. His other ear was over his face,
in his whiskers. He had his front feet
crossed, and his back feet crossed, and all
aspread on iihe ground. His tail •ivas at­tached
on behind.
He looked so peaceful, and so content;
I envied him. Y'know, I wish I were a rich
man's birddog . . . no worry about girls
and Thermo., only other dogs to think about.

Overheard at church: "Going to Sunday

circle, and as I remember, the landlady
didn't like it. I think we have an all-
American coach, and one or two all-Ameri-can
football players.
You think I'm a fool for writing all this

Igotisms: I shall go to Paris sometime

But perhaps I love notoriety. There is a

in a small cedar tree, late at night. Per­haps
I shouldn't say it, but his singing does
me more good than any hymn singing I
ever heard in church.
I wish I had never heard a certain joke
I know; then someone could tell it to me,
and I could laugh some more. That rhymes
doesn't it? I didn't know; I hate poetry, all
except Kipling. I have been hunting for a
complete book of his poems for ever so
long, without success. If some kind person
would loan me the book I will take excel­lent
care of it.

GREAT IN war as in peace is Auburn.
Of this we are reminded by a press
statement concerning General Robert
E. Noble, distinguished alumnus of Auburn
and recent president of the alumni associ­ation."
-
The statement about General Noble ap­peared
in a series of "Alabama Heroes of
the World War." It was taken from the
official records by Sergeant. L. E. Jaeckel,
saying:
"Robert Ernest Noble, Major General, As­sistant
Surgeon General, American Expedi­tionary
Force. A general staff officer pos­sessed
.of unusual ability. He had charge
of the personnel of the hospitals under
command of the Surgeon General, and it
was largely due to his vast professional
knowledge and great resourcefulness that
a high standard of efficiency was maintain­ed
among this personnel at all times. He
has exemplified American skill to the high­est
degree. Residence, Annist'on, Ala."
General Noble graduated at Auburn in
1891. ,
* * * *
Zipp Newman paid in the Birmingham
News of Sunday a mighty tribute to Jimmie
Hitchcock, the reapproachment of perfect
football. He reserved for Jimmie "a noble
place in the hall of brilliant backs." The
sports writer then pictured the Auburn
gridiron star as a remarkable concatenation
of football attainments which he demon­strated
on Legion Field Saturday.
We arise to endorse all that the journalist
has said. And we don't stop here. We be­lieve
that the complete roll should be called
and a crown of glory placed upon the head
of each Tiger who participated in the
Legion Field performance after which the
Blue Devils were much bluer but less devil­ish.

A member of the legislature who has
educated two boys at Auburn said to the
writer: "How can parents finance educa­tion
for their sons and daughters under
these conditions? It would be very difficult
for me to do it now for it was hard enough
when business conditions were much bet­ter."
L
This question is difficult to answer ex­cept
to say that most college educations are
being obtained now by >eal sacrifice on the
part of parents and students. They are
painfully economical; they are denying
themselves of many things which hereto­fore
they considered absolutely essentials.
This experience has advantages although
it may "pinch" for the time being. It will
create and cultivate more economy and
greater efficiency in living. It will cause
serious thinking; and it will establish frug­al
habits and living. If everybody had econo­mized
in everything during the last decade
most of the great depression which has
brought grief and distress during the last
few years would not have occurred.

Dean C. L. Hare reported recently ex­ceptional
progress this year of students in
Chemistry. His report was printed in The
Plainsman.
Now comes a similar report from Major
G. H. Franke. He quotes from Lt. Phelps
saying, "Students seem to be more serious
about their work, pay more attention to
instruction, and consequently are learning
more."
Capt. Ott, Lt. Huggins, and Lt. Watts
concur. Capt. Metts explained that he is
instructing freshmen for the first time this
year. "I am pleased with their attention
and interest in their marks are better than
instructors of last year classes reported,"
he added.
Lt. Gunby reported that freshmen are
making better grades than before and that
the wearing of the uniform is better. Other
classes with him are about the same as last
year but better than year before last. Capt.
Grower and 'Lt. Bowman of the engineering
unit reported that students are ahead of
previous years and "that a marked im­provement
in conscientious effort is very
noticeable." At the time the report was
made Lt. Bowman had had only one class
absence since the first week of college.
From Dean Funchess of the School of
agriculture reports similar to those of Dean
Hare and Major Franke, have arrived. Pro­fessors
George L. Fick and E. V. Smith
"have noted a more aggressive attitude
than usual, which presages a year of good
work." A greater promptness in doing
work and a more evident desire to meet
fully all requirements have been observed
by Prof. Ben F. Alvord. "An attitude of
seriousness^ that is rather unusual," has
been observed by Prof. J. M. Robinson.
Prof. Guyton of the same department com­mented
very favorable upon promptness,
interest, and attitude.
Prof. A. D. Burke, at" the time of the
report, had no tardiness marked against
any of his 67 students. "The group seems
to be very serious-minded and intent upon
acquiring as much information as possible,"
he said. ,
Prof. D. G. Sturkie has observed an im­provement
of attendance and work far
above the average for this time of the se­mester.
Similar facts weer observed by
Prof. L. M. Ware and Prof. J. C. Grimes.
All this sounds mighty good. It lets stu­dents
know how professors are seeing them
this year.

The . news columns and the editorial
columns of The Plainsman have given
splendid recognition to the Auburn Knights
—a group of earnest musicians, who have
distinguished themselves by their achieve­ments.
By hard work they have trained
themselves into a splendid group of artist's.
In doing so they have attained much for
themselves and they have reflected glory
upon Auburn.
It is inspiring to know that their musical
attainments warrant their being employed
for the opening dances. We congratulate
them; and we also congratulate the student
body.

ONE OF the most radical systems of
class distinction in the modern
world is the four caste system ob­served
throughout the larger portion of
India. In dividing the race into these four
classes, the so-called, untouchables, have
been left completely out of the grouping.
This division of the population is barred
from all public places and is forced to live
within itself to an almost unbelieveable
extent. The untouchable must carry a
broom along the highway and brush away
all evidence of his passage; in some sec­tions
he is not allowed the privilege of
building, and must live in the most miser­able
hut. He has no privilege save that of
paying taxes. In all else he is shunned with
a devout religious abhorance by the four
castes.
The world, and particularly, this coun­try,
shudders at the sinister distinction
shown between classes in India, for this
country is a great democracy.
The writer often wonders, if the color
distinction between the brown natives of
India and the predominantly caucasion
populace of the United States was cast
aside for the moment, if the stranger to
either of the two, would not find it a bit
difficult to distinguish between the two
countries in regard to class systems. The
statement seems absurd perhaps, due to
the fact that this country does give its
"untouchables" a few years of education,
the undeniable inheritance of all men and
women born in this country, for the Consti­tution
itself states that all men are born
free and equal. India at least in not so
hypocritical, since they make no gesture
toward educating their lower classes.
A liberal estimation would find this coun­try
divided into at least three classes, or
castes, at least. The wealthy class, judged
by the great democratic gold standard, is
placed at the top of the ladder, with the
middle class and lower class following in
order. —
The monied class might be divided into
two groups, the educated and the unedu­cated,
though a truly fine distinction would
be exceedingly difficult in this country at
the present time.
Perhaps the largest class of the three is
the great middle class of our population,
those who may be either educated or unedu­cated
if they are engaged in a fairly profit­able
vocation. The various divisions in this
caste are principally determined by the local
settlements where this class holds forth.
Poverty incloses the lower class in its
tight grip. To be poor is a much greater
disgrace than violation of the any code of
normal or legal ethics established by the-people.
Like the untouchable in India, they
too are allowed to pay taxes with the ex­clusion
of practically all other rights.
All such statements sound as unreal, un­true,
and without foundation as does the
wildest fairy tale in existence; but they
are as true as the statement that this coun­try
has produced a race with as deeply
imbedded a class and race distinction as
any other country in the world. The so-called
democracy of ours covers so many
misconceptions of equality with the term
"democracy", that it is difficult to realize
that such conditions are true. The single
barrier in this country, without the slight­est
shadow of a doubt, is the gold barrier,
raised between those who exist for gain
and those who live for pleasure of living.
The latter is greatly outnumbered. The
writer is making no attempt to crusade for
the lower classes with idealistic essays, but
is merely puzzled that this country should
be shocked when they discover the race dis­tinction
in other countries is carried out
so rigidly. This rountry is at an disadvant­age,
living under a pseudo-democracy, where
the castes cannot exclude others from their
ranks by birth, but only by monetary pos­session.
It all seems so out-of-line with
everything. Perhaps I was wrong- in ever
bringing it up.
Trying soniething else that failed to pan
out very well . . . someday the writer will
start writing in a less cryptic fashion . . .
perhaps his column won't be read even then
. . . it's all being done for practice though
. . . besides the editor needs the space
filled . . . more elections and more ribbons
. . . if the state makes any money from
the tax on the near-beer, then my faith in

else . . . and still no letter . . . winter

PROFESSOR GRIMES DISCOVERS
NEW METHOD OF CURING PORK
New Plan Evolved by Experiment Station Will Permit Farmers
to Kill Hogs During Any Season of Year
The age-old dependence of farm­ers
upon cold weather for killing
hogs and curing pork has been abol­ished.
In the future farmers may
kill hogs whenever they want t o—
be it summer or winter—and cure
the meat perfectly.
This brief announcement was made
by Prof. J. C. Grimes, head of the
animal husbandry division of the
agricultural experiment station of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
at the conclusion of an experiment
conducted by him and his associ­ates.
In this experiment hogs were
killed in hot weather and cold weath­er,
and the meat was cured as easily
in ojie as the other.
Artificial ice was used for refrig­eration;
and the satisfactory use of
ice in this way was the secret to the
success of the experiment which is

expected to result in extensive
changing of habits and practices of
farmers in killing and curing pork.
Prof. Grimes and his associates
conducted this experiment withjcnow-ledge
that satisfactory curing of
meat requires (1) chilling and keep­ing
it cold as long as necessary; and
(2) absorption of the correct amount
of salt and curing mixture. Instead
of waiting for cold weather to do the
chilling they used ice.
Briefly stated, they killed the hogs
and cut the carcasses as desired. Salt
was rubbed over each piece of meat,
after which it was placed in a water­tight
barrel. They found that an
ordinary barrel, such as is used in
shipping cold drinks, was sufficient
for a 300-pound hog.
After the meat was placed in this
barrel cracked ice was placed over
it at the rate of two pounds of ice for
each , pound of meat. It remained
undisturbed 24 hours after which the
meat was taken from the barrel and
rubbed with a curing mixture com­posed
of 12 pounds of salt, three

PERSONAL
MENTION
Victor W. Randecker, '32, was in
Auburn Saturday for the Erskine
game. Randecker is making upper air
observations for the Department of
Commerce Weather Bureau in At­lanta.
Each morning he makes a
flight to 16,500 feet. His plane is
equipped with recording instruments
for temperature, humidity and alti­tude
as well as those instruments
necessary for air navigation. Ran­decker
has two planes for this work.
One is a Curtiss Fledgling powered
with a Challenger engine and the
other is a Curtiss Robin cabin mono­plane.
Last year Randecker was a
student instructor in the Aeronautic-al
Engineering Department.
-The mags were installed in the
Wallace Monday afternoon by a few
members of the Senior aviation lab
class. The Wallace Touroplane, a
three place, externally "braced, high-wing
monoplane, is powered with a
Kinner 90 h.p. air-cooled radial en­gine.
The plane was purchased by
the Aeronautical Engineering De­partment
last January and rebuilt by
the Junior aviation lab section.
Identification for the ship has been
received from the Department of
Commerce and application has been
made for a license.
* * *
The Glider Club spent all day Sun­day
at the airport. The weather was
ideal for glider flying as there was
practically no wind and runs could be
made in any direction on the field.
Those people who visited the field
Sunday saw student glider pilots in
almost every stage of the training.
Herbert Croen made flights to alti­tudes
of two hundred and fifty feet,
sufficient for three hundred and sixty
degree turns. Grigsby Christopher,
Jack Bible and Leslie Woodall made
several low training hops and are
showing rapid progress. Joe Bar­rett,
instructor in Aeronautics, has
several solo hours to his credit and
experienced little trouble in his
initial glider flight.
* * *
A Curtiss D-12 aircraft engine and
pounds of sugar, and three ounces
of saltpeter.
The next step was to repack the
meat in the iced brine in the barrel
after which curing mycture was
poured over it. The curing mixture
was used at the rate of 50 pounds
per 100 'pounds of meat.
The barrel was then covered with
cloth or boards and undisturbed 25
days for hogs weighing 200 poiinds
or less and 30 to 35 days for hogs
weighing more than 300 pounds, de­pending
upon the size. At the end
of this period the meat was removed,
washed with warm water, hung, and
smoked.
The total cost of curing meat was
about one cent a pound. The only
disadvantage which Prof. Grimes sees
in warm weather killing and curing
is the presence of flies which must
be kept away from meat during kil­ling,
cutting, and packing.
County agents have made a special
study of this experiment. They are
recommending it for general prac­tice.
A farmer—by killing hogs
whenever he wants to—can distri­bute
his production and his killing.
The unpleasant duty of killing hogs
on very cold days will be avoided.
Heavy losses by spoiled meat caused
by warm weather will be avoided.
Quality meat will be better.
The experiment is being reported
officially in a bulletin for general
distribution.

POINTING TO LANGDALE GAME
Tilt t o B e One of Hardest on Cubs' Schedule; Coach DuBose
Shifts Players to Many Positions for Tryouts
Having won their last two en­counters
with Dadeville and Tuske-gee,
respectively, Auburn Hi is prim­ing
to shoot the works as it engages
Langdale High School in its hardest
game of the season, exclusive of the
Columbus game.
In defeating Tuskegee last Friday,
12 to 6, Coach Frank DuBose's eleven
after a slow start, showed a world of
power by overcoming the one touch­down
lead of Rube Alverson's team
in the last quarter. Leland Long,
playing his first year of high school
football, paved the way for both
scores by the local squad. Long, a
lanky end, snagged a long pass which
placed the ball within scoring dis­tance
and blocked out most of the
Tuskegee backfield for an Auburn
back, who scored the second touch­down.
Long, who is just a sophomore
this year, should develop into a star
athlete before he graduates from the
local school.
The Auburn players have been
shifted considerably from one po­sition
to another and Friday's game

Alabama has been definitely stamp­ed
as a great football team by virtue
of their win over George Washing­ton
University. The illustrious
"Hurry" Cain drove through for a
touchdown in each quarter to "set
the game on ice" for the Crimsons.
* * *
Much talk has been heard con­cerning
the bill before the Alabama
legislature to force the broadcasts of
all Auburn and Alabama football
games played on home sod. Profes­sor
Armstrong of Tech, secretary of
the Southern Conference, is threat­ening
the solons with the possibility
of outside teams cancelling combats
with the Plainsmen and Crimsons. It
is rather doubtful that if this bill be­comes
a law such drastic action will
result, but if the law-makers get away
with that the next thing they'll prob­ably
do will -be to fix the schedule by
legislative action. In the future
some gubernatorial candidate will
likely have a plank in his platform
calling for more end runs and for­ward
. passes.

is now one of the leading scorers of
the country.
Auburn scored an impressive vic­tory,
yet was extended to flash indi­vidual
play. The Blue Devils fought
doggedly throughout and in the third
period outplayed the Tigers. Cox,
Mason, and Brownlee formed a pow­erful
and speedy trio of ball carriers
and were dangerous every minute
they were in the game. Dunlap,
James, Rogers, and Crawford stopped
most of the Auburn charges into the
line.

THE

MASSACRE
"Nature in the Raw"—as

heartless treachery of a band

who massacred the settlers

They are not present in Luckies
. . . the mildest cigarette
you ever smoked
WE buy the finest, the very
finest tobaccos in all the
world—but that does not
explain why folks every­where
regard Lucky Strike as
the mildest cigarette. The fact
is, we never overlook the
t r u th that "Nature in the
Raw is Seldom Mild"—so
these fine tobaccos, after
proper aging and mellowing,
are then given the benefit of
that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the
words—"It's toasted". That's
why folks in every city, town
and hamlet say that Luckies
are such mild cigarettes.

build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.' '-RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
Does not this explain the world-wide acceptance and approval of Lucky Strike?
