Comes the news that our little
friends up at -Alabama College
are planning their annual frenzy,
College Night.
The fairest of Alabama's bux­om
maids take a day off each
year to give expression to all the
foolishness that abounds in their
chubby systems.
The Plainsman feels it a
solemn duty to warn all Auburn
freshmen to stay out of the
danger zone on February 24, 25.
Persons yenturing within twenty
miles of Montevallo on these
dates do so at the risk of their
very souls.
However, a member of our
staff has volunteered to cover the
affair, and a seat has_been ar­ranged
for Him in the tallest
tree onJ the Alabama College
campus. Last year our reporter
came back limping, with one
ear half torn off, his hair pulled
out, and his teeth chattering.
But we feel sure that our super-sleuth,
John Byron Moffett, who
has earned an enviable reputa­tion
in the field of autographs,
will bring back the goods.

Harry L. Hooper, of Selma, was
tfie freshmen's choice for the under­classmen's
seat in the Executive Cabi­net
when the polls closed yesterday
afternoon.
Contrary to first reports, little in­terest
was manifested in the elec­tion,
only about seventy-five votes
having been cast.
Considerable difficulty was experi­enced
by the_ Elections Committee
when they found quite a number of
illegal ballots, used to "pad" the .box.
Scott Turk, chairman of the Elec­tions
Committee, declared that the
Committee will be diligent in its ef­forts
to seek out unqualified votes
in all future elections this year, and
that several of the freshmen's votes
had to be ruled out because of il­legal
practices.
Hooper comes from Selma and is

Prof. C. E. Seitz and P. B.
Potter of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, and E. J. Hergenroether
of the development research depart­ment,
International Nickel Co., Inc.,
of Detroit.
Tuesday night, January 31, the
Education Club met and" elected of­ficers
for the new year, it was an­nounced
yesterday by C. T. Warren,
reporter for the club. Those who
were elected are: President, E. E.
Nelson; vice-president, George Con­ner;
secretary-treasurer, Rosamund
Callan; sargent-at-arms, Louie A.
Ingram; and reporter, Clide Warren.
The purpose of the club, it was
stated, is to discuss matters of edu­cational
interest relative to the pro­fessional
field. -
Due to the fact that through par
ticipating in organization of one's
profession, one becomes more effici­ent
in his field of work, education
students are especially urged to at­tend
the club. With the election of
new officers the members expect new
spirit to be added to the organization;
and with that in mind, they antici­pate
having some very good pro­grams,
according to a statement from
George Conner, chairman of the Pro­gram
Committee.
"The proposed plan of reorganiza­tion,"
stated Conner, "includes a stu­dent-
faculty committee, which will
plan a number of professional topics
for open-forum discussion and de­bate."
The club meets every Tuesday
night at 8 o'clock hr 314 Samford

Professors Dixon, Barrett Display Heroism As Flyers
When Airplane Makes Headlong Dive Into Mother Earth
Lazily, with the hesitant warmth of the mid-winter afternoon sun
glowing on the. wings, the airplane wheeled and dipped, cavorting
gently far over the heads of the onlookers on the field below. The
"drone of the motor was pleasantly smooth, with the changes in ac­celeration,
keeping its voice from becoming hypnotically monotonous.
Two fearless souls, men of daring whose risk of life and limb ad­vance
the cause of aviation, guided the clumsy man-made bird in its
path through the skies. Gather closer for these two paragons of cour­age
linger in our midst. 'Twas Profs. Dixon and Barrett of the aero-nautics
department, interpid to an extreme.
The might "Soxs" held the controls and, satisfied as to perform­ance,
eased into the descentfrom the sky. Those on the ground watch­ed
the steady flight and envied those within the plane the joys of flight.
Nearer the ground came and the sensitive fingers of the master
pilot tensed to ease the quivering controls. Jo-Jo looked over the side
and settled back into his place with only;an expression of satisfaction.
Now the wheels skimmed the grass tops and suddenly settled the
remaining distance and bounced. Up two or three feet it lurched;
Jo-Jo grabbed the sides; "Soxs" wrestled with the sluggish controls.
Again it struck and bounced, higher this time in its staggering flight.
Down the plane shot, tilted slightly to one side.
With a sickening crunch the undercarriage gave way and the plane
erratically swerved to that side. The spectators gasped with horror at
the prospect of seeing the daring aviators crushed and burned in the
flaming wreck of the plane. Would it go over and pin these two great
birdmen beneath a flaming pyre?
The wing tip struck the ground and the plane jerked to a stop,
poised and then settled back. Hurriedly the flyers flung themselves
over the side, white of facej but unafraid in their harrowing escape
from an awful death. Sadly they gazed on the wreckage of the once
proud machine, glory of Technocracy.
Whe approached for a statement, Prof. Dixon said, "There has
been foul play somewhere". Barrett replied, "The mail must go
through!" The crowd shouted, "Nertz!"

Dr. Suhrie Tells Of Schools Conducted By Students
In Talk To Education Students At Banquet Wednesday
Instances where schools have been
successfully conducted by students
for certain periods in the absence of
all teachers were recounted here
Wednesday evening by Dr. A. L.
Suhrie, of New York University, at
a banquet given in his honor by the
Auburn school of education and Kap­pa
Delta Pi, honorary education fra­ternity.
Drawing from his long experience
as a school administrator, Dr. Suhrie
emphasized that the management of
schools by the students on special oc­casions
was an excellent phase of edu­cation
for them. He added that he
had seen them do a good job of it and
he believed that it resulted in a
wholesome democratic attitude on
their part toward the school and fac­ulty.
Teachers and school administrators
from many points in this section of
the State, Auburn faculty members,
students and visitors attending the
banquet numbered 160. This, the
first home-coming banquet of Kappa
Delta Pi was hailed as a distinct suc­cess
and it was decided to stage the
affair annually in the future.
Dean Zebulon Judd served as
toastmaster and the speaker was in­troduced
by Dr. Paul Irvine of the
education faculty, a former student
of Dr. Suhrie at New York Univer­sity.
Dr. N. F. Greenhill and Miss
Nora Smith of the State department
of education in Montgomery were

MRS. JOHN J. WILMORE
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Mrs. John J. Wilmore underwent
a major operation, at noon today, at
the Opelika Hospital. Latest reports
are that the operation was a success.
Prof. P. P. Powell of the school of
chemistry and pharmacy has been
asked to edit the section on Physical
Constants of Inorganic Compounds to
be published in the next edition of
the Handbook of Chemistry and
Physics.
The handbook, published by the
Chemical Rubber Publishing Co. of
Cleveland, Ohio., is widely used by
chemists, physicists, and students.
At their annual early spring elec­tion,
which was held last Monday
night, Khufu Temple, of Scarab elec­ted
the following - men: James G.
Phillips, Linton Smith, Robert Miller,
Don Pierce, Elwyn Richey and Rob­ert
Rutland.
In making the selection of new
members, only those men who have
attained a high degree of efficiency
in Architecture, .Architectural Engi­neering
and Landscape Architecture
courses are considered. All of the
new pledges of the local Temple are
outstanding in the Architectural
School.
Khufu Tempje, which operated as
the local Botegha, for thirteen years,
was installed into the national or­ganization
January 23, 1931. The
acceptance of the Botegha petition
was the third to be accepted below
the Mason and Dixon line and the
first south of Virginia.
Scarab embraces thirteen Temples,
which are located in colleges general­ly
recognized as having the best
schools of architecture. The fra­ternity
was founded at the University
of .Illinois in 1909.
That the Military Ball will be held
on Friday, March 3 has been an­nounced

Auburn Post Of American Legion Holds First Banquet
Of Year On Thursday Night With Auxiliary As Guests
• The Auburn Post of the American
Legion held its initial banquet at
seven-thirty Thursday evening, Feb­ruary
2nd, at the Episcopal Church
of Auburn. Dr. J. T. Oliver, presi­dent
of the Auburn post, presiding.
Mr. Herbert E. Woodruff, of Ope-,
lika, speaker of the evening, addres­sed
the members of the post and their
guests, the members of the Woman's
Legion Auxiliary of Auburn. He
stressed the importance and honor
of being a member of the Legion,
giving reasons for his statements,
(the most important being that of
comradeship.)
The Legion knows no class, and
requires only that one shall have ser­ved
his country to become a mem­ber.
Mr. Woodruff also stated that it
is. generally the supposition that the
American Legion has caused an in­crease
of federal taxes, but he pre­sented
statistics that showed a de­crease
of more than thirty* per cent
during the past few years. The ma­jority
of the money that is being
spent on veterans is expended on
those who are disabled, and can not
support themselves, and not on the
more fortunate ones.
Attention was also called to the
importance of maintaining the Navy
and Reserved Officers-Training Corps,
not for the purpose of agitating war,
but to be prepared to stand as a
world power in case of necessity.
Mr. Woodruff stated no one is any

Sahag's new invention, recent­ly
adopted by one of the leading ko­dak
manufacturers of the country,
and an address by him on the sub­ject,
"Membrane Analogy by Soap
Film." This program will be of par­ticular
interest to all students in elec­trical
engineering and they are cor­dially
invited to attend the meeting.

EXTRAORDINARY SESSION
Once again the Alabama Legislature has
been summoned to an extraordinary session
by Governor Miller. The task of the solons
appears to be a hopeless one. Beset on
every hand by political organizations, our
legislators have little chance to please even
a small minority of the people.
The people are laboring under an un­usual
burden of taxation. The passage of
additional fiscal measures will meet with
sharp opposition from a majority of the
taxpayers.
Rigid economies in all departments of
the State government will have to be put
into practice to secure the revenue neces­sary
to liquidate the State's outsanding
debts Until the State government reduces
its expenses to a minimum, the voters will
object to any further taxation.
It is to be hoped that the legislators will
realize the magnitude of their task. To
bring the State out of its present financial
troubles, new policies will have to be adopt­ed;
widespread reforms in all governmental
departments will have to be effected; and
every interest, treated with equal imparti­ality.
WHY THE FARMERS PROTEST
Historians one day may find difficulty
trying to account for the conduct of farm­ers
in several of the states ordinarily rated
as among the most prosperous agricultural
regions in the world. They have Called
themselves pickets, and have blockaded the
roads to prevent their neighbors from mar­keting
produce at prices the picketeers con­sider
starvation figures. They are even
using violence to prevent this produce from
going through to the city markets.
But if those same historians make use
of available Government documents, they
will find some statistics that will help to
interpret the meaning of the strange be­havior
of the farmers.
Back in 1920 the farmers were getting
dollars that came pretty close to being dol­lars
whether they received them or spent
them. The scale, based on average pre­war
prices, stood at 205 for what the farm­er
had to sell and at 206 for what he had
to buy. He was the loser in every transac­tion
of taking money for his stuff and giv­ing
it out again for his necessities, but the
difference was so little as not to discourage
him.
But from that time, although the index
figure declined in both columns, that repre­senting
prices of farm produce fell off at
a much faster rate. By the present year,
the index for what the farmer ha.s to sell
stands at 59 while that for what he has to
buy stands at 108. The meaning is that, as
compared with the pre-war conditions, the
farmer is getting a 54 cent dollar and with
this he has to pay debts secured by mort­gages
issued in terms of the 1920 dollar.
Just why the outbreak of protest occur­red
where it did is explained in another of­ficial
document of the United €tates.
"The number of farms with high debt
rates", says a report of the Bureau of Agri­cultural
Economic Survey, "reached the
largest proportion in the West North Cen­tral
group of states where 7.6 per cent of
the mortgaged farms reported debt in ex­cess
of the farm value; 21.8 per cent in ex­cess
of 75 per cent of the value, and 45.3
per cent in excess' of half the value."
The most discouraging feature of this is
that the peak of farm real estate values
was reached in that same year, 1920, .and
that was when most of the mortgages were
placed. While these mortgages have stayed
in terms of their original money values,
taxes on the mortgaged property have been
steadily increasing, and price's received by
the farmers for farm produce have decreas­ed,
just as steadily. In Iowa, one of the
"Revolution states", taxes per acre in 1913
were 56 cents; in 1930 they had increased
to $1.24, 3p index rate of 222 per cent.
North Dakota, another of the uprising
states, has a tax rate index that stands at
248, and South Dakota's stands at 288 per
cent.
These are the factors that induced the
farmers of these states to depart from their
time-honored docility and to take extreme
measures to solve their difficulties.
DISSERTATION ON BOBBY PINS
In considering the most important con­tribution
of science to the welfare of young
womanhood of today, it is difficult to as­certain
what invention of recent years is
the most useful as well as most beneficial.
Let it be known that only instruments -oi
beauty are under' discussion.
Lipstick, eye shadow and mascara, the
highly developed manicure are all colorful
additions to aids to feminine intrigue. Yet
these are obviously cancelled as to their
utility as they can only be used to one ad­vantage.
Next are considered the scienti­fic
contributions to woman's crowning
glory, the permanent wave and its ante­cedent,
the finger wave. Here an import­ant
question must be decided. Where
would the permanent or any other wave
be without the bobby pin?;Naturally, neith­er
would be lasting or constructive without
that most important aid to woman's peace
of mind, the versatile bobby pin.
Perhaps because it is directly descended
from that tool of womanhood, the hairpin,
is the bobby pin considered the most useful
as well as most beneficial contribution to
young womanhood of today. During the
realm of the hairpin it was said that given
such an instrument woman could solve a
Chinese puzzle. Give an intelligent woman
a bobby pin and she can understand Ein­stein's
theory of Relativity or even the rav­ings
of the Technocrats. Not only for hold­ing
the wave in place is this miracle of
the twentieth-century highly recommended
for, but with the advent of the ringlet end
the bobby pin really came into its own. It
is indispensible in setting wayward and
straggly locks and holding stubborn wisps
of hair into place. Its uses do not end with
the crown of the head. In embarrassing
moments woman thanks the gods for this
versatile instrument which can be pressed
into use for safety, or any kind of pin. For
brushing up on the manicure in hasty mom­ents
the bobby pin can be used and as an
extreme measure can be used for tweezers.
The co-ed finds it indispensible for paper
clips and for an amusing toy during idle
hours in a classroom. It is seen that it
surpasses the uses of its worthy parent, the
hairpin. Womanhood will be grateful
through the coming generations for -the
invention of this instrument—its uses will
increase through the years and its popu­larity
will be undying.
SYNTHETIC SOUND
Comes the news that an ingenious in­ventor,
Rudolf Pfenninger, of Munich, has
discovered a process of producing music for
sound films, not by playing and recording it,
but by drawing it on paper with a pen and
brush and then transferring it photograp-ically
to the film. This may well be called
the nearest approach to synthetic music—
notes and sounds that were never made by
an instrument.
Sounds consist of fundamentals mixed
with harmonics or overtones; different in­struments
vary because their overtones are
not alike. By use of a highly complicated
instrument called the "oscillograph the char­acteristic
tones produced by various instru­ments
can be visualized and photographed.
Herr Pfenninger has, by the use of the
oscillograph, become familiar with the dif­ferent
sounds produced by different instru­ments.
He can draw the curves of differ­ent
sounds even as the oscillograph records
them; he • can go a step further and make
new sounds of his own by varying the
curves. His greatest achievement so far
is the production of Handel's "Largo",
which was well received in a demonstration
by the Bayerische Filmeesellschaft. The
editor of the Filmtechnik has expressed the
opinion that the process can»*be useful in
the production of weird and grotesque
sounds for use in films; but it is hardly pos-.
sible that the drawings can ever be so fine­ly
constructed-to reproduce, the more com­plicated
works of Beethoven or Mendel­sohn.
German scientists accept the underlying
principles used by Herr Pfenninger, but
realize the difficulty of ever perfecting the
process to such a degree that more compli­cated
selections can be thus reproduced.
Undoubtedly Herr Pfenninger has ac­complished
a signal feat in the production
.of synthetic sound; the next step in this
particular field of the physical sciences will
be the extension of the synthesis to the
most minute of sounds and the production
of new sounds and combinations thereof.

COME THINK with me. You don't
mind the rain do you? You may sit
over there. That is where I sleep.
That is where I dream of nice and really
lovely things. You don't mind do you? I
cannot offer you my chair. I must write.
I think I must always write. I like it.
Please don't think it silly. It's not really
jargon. It must not be.
There is rain. Move the curtains. See?
But, you know, you mustn't be depressed
by rain at night. It can be made beautiful.
You understand don't you? Everything can
be nice. You may sometimes think dark
thoughts, and hate life, but that is only a
state of mind, you know, and you must real­ize
that. You must not be depressed. Now
there is darkness, but there will be sun­shine.
You will like the sunshine. You
know how nice the sunshine will be, and
how pretty the trees will be. And there
will be clouds, >and flowers, and perhaps, a
slight come-stealing breeze* which will blow
curls in your hair. You must wait for the
sunshine, and not hate the rain.
Don't you sometimes like to walk in the
rain? Notice how a drop falls; another
drop falls, each one a caress. They join
other rain-drops and gather into a small
whispering trickle. Don't you understand
the music in the trickle? A strange music
perhaps, a music not easily understood by
the mind, a music which cannot be written,'
and played on instruments, but a music to
be felt in the soul. You understand don't
you?
The trickle grows, and there are ripples
as a leaf is carried along. Remember how
you ljsed to make boats to sail,- and how
nice they looked floating along? And, you
know, you are floating in much the same
way. Don't you sometimes think you are
living a dream? A play? Isn't it queer!
You wonder, and are thrilled. You see you
musn't hate the rain. You musn't hate the
rainy parts of your life. Most of your
worries are a bad dream which you make
for yourself out of nothing. And just as
easily you may make a beautiful dream.
I assume you are depressed. Perhaps it
is I. I am afraid you don't understand my
way of thinking. But, you see, I have de­veloped
my thoughts, and they all trend to­ward
the beauty I see in life about me.
When I have dark thoughts I know they
won't last. I sometimes laugh at them. I
am interested, occasionally, in seeing just
how dark my thoughts can become. But
they are like clouds. I know it. I can al­ways
see the sun of happiness through
them.
I pften think of people. Some people find
beauty nV painting . . . in pictures. Other
people seek beauty in music. Others don't
seek, beauty comes to them. They are the
people you delight in meeting. They are
always sunny. People interest me. They
are never the same. Always they change.
You like some people; you dislike others,
but they all interest you. You know they
have thoughts like yours. They are happy
and despondent just like you. And then they
are different. All of their thoughts are not
like yours, and you wonder about it; you
cannot see why they don't like some things
you like. - That is why I like people. You
would hate anyone who always agreed with
you. Everyone is a distinct personality,
each has his dreams, and his thoughts.
Every person has his dreams and his am­bitions.
Don't you ever wonder about the
dreams of other people? You will hardly
ever find time to think you are despondent
if you think about other people and wonder
about them.

And now I have kicked over that damn
trash basket of mine. I am out of the mood
I.was in, and now I am in another. You
see, people are funny; they are never the

see how much water could trickle over it.

CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT
NAUGHTY NONSENSE
We take great pleasure in publcily an­nouncing
the fact that we are now permit­ted
to read, outside the secret haunts of our
own rooms, unexpurgated editions of "The
Decameron" without becoming conscience
stricken. The United States has been so
condescending as to admit that this particu­lar
volume is neither obscene nor immoral
and have decreed that it is fit literature for
its citizens.
The institution that our legislators have
maintained for the expulsion of bad books
has often been called farcical. We rather
choose to label it ignorance seasoned with
sense. The motive is worth while, but the
judgment of these literary officials has at
times been appalling.
There is a decided contrast between pub­lications
which are unadulterated filth and
others which are unquestionably fine lit­erature.
The latter, in approaching the
realistic, may seem a bit naughty to our
sanctified officials. However, they have
-been loath to see a difference between these
two areas and ha^e insisted upon the ex­pulsion
of both.
The acceptance of "The Decameron" is
to be commended for its sensibleness and
condemned for its tardy arrival. The lit-eray
horizon of this country might well be
broadened if a little more thoughtful judg­ment
were entertained by the members. of
this governmental group.—Pennsylvanian.

The average man does not think suffici­ently

land. The submarginal land cannot be used
as a source of profit in this way.
A few individuals are beginning to sus­pect
that our days of great prosperity did
not come because we as u class of people
are business and financial wizards, that our
governmental system is the best in the
world, that our extensive use of credit in­struments
gave us great advantage over
more dumb peoples and that our dealing
with other countries has been a source of
much wealth. Indeed, a few persons know
that our business men could not make a
living in any of the older countries if our
methods would be used. Their dependence
on credit and upon extravagancies of the
public would soon make them ready for
charity. /
These1 few persons know of the ineffici­ency
in our government. Our political bally­hoo
is being recognized by them. The pub­lic
has enjoyed for a long time the hysteria
of the elections in which the man who can
appeal to emotions through a smooth line,
a handsome face or a flush pocketbook is
the winner. Both the defeated candidate
and the public are losers. This same pub­lic
sits idly by and allows legislatures to
pass thousands of useless laws, set up
hundreds of useless bureaus and commis­sions
and waste m<?re money in a year than
many other countries are allowed to spend.
This small group, aided by the depres­sion,
.are impressing the general public.
More and more citizens of our country are
beginning to see that this era is not just
another depression which will overcome
itself, but that our great inefficiency must
be recognized and that a new order of
thinking must be established.
And a great factor in this new order
which the depression is teaching us is that
success cannot be measured by money.—

If the last of the "lame-duck" Congress

was an acute case of indigestion caused by
eating an extra share of the mess serge­ant's

Twenty-five of the forty-three state legis­latures
in session this winter have under­taken
a discussion toward an improvement
of the traffic problems within their respec­tive
states. It is evident that some further
legislation should be added to give support
to the comparative laxity of our own state
laws. While a law requiring examination
of motor operators throughout the state
would be something new, even astute Ala­bama
solons might do well to think it over.
For the majority of the traffic accidents
which mountingly occur each year in this
country are really not accidents in fact.
This state is hardly immune from careless
and oftentimes, reckless driving. There
may be many problems too difficult for our
representatives to solve; but the matter of
public safety through carefully regulated
traffic systems could hardly be listed among
them.

Out of the cross-currents of contemporary
civilization has come a new type of litera­ture,
expressing with each word its re­bellious
attitude against the modern code
of life. Since contemporary writers have
chosen, and quite naturally so, to associate
their work closely to the stream of human­ity
in its undiluted form, they have real­ized
that their creations must have a much
sounder receptacle into which to pour their
thoughts. Some time before the World War
the literary group foresaw the process of
social disintegration that was taking hold
of the world. For that reason contemporary
writers have attempted to express their
opinions in terms which will lead at least
to gradual reform. In many respects con­temporary
literature has succeeded, and in
a far more subtle manner than is realized:
Today, cynicism is dying out along with the
world's recent mania for the debunking of
ideals. Decency is returning hand-in-hand
with a purer conception of moral values.

Sports writers throughout the
South are joining with thousands of
Auburn supporters in a , plea that
Coach Chet Wynne be retained at the
Plains. Stuart X. Stevenson, of the
Montgomery Advertiser, had the fol­lowing
comment to make a few days
ago in his sports column:
"Coach Wynne has brought Au­burn
through a night of terrific
blackness, through uncertainties and
pitfalls. Over at the Plains daylight
on the gridiron dawned as the "mir­acle
man" asked them to do his_bid-ding
and the boys responded with
everything they had. Chet is still a
young man, full of ambition and per­sonality.
Moreover his ranking as
one of the nation's outstanding
coaches will not be lowered for many
years to come.
"There will always be a big place
for a big man like Chet Wynne. Au­burn
needs him and no doubt the
proper authorities at the present time
are making a great fight to keep
Wynne. The calm that has followed
the storm may be a good omen: Jhere
was considerable unrest abroad when
it became known that Wynne was in
East Lansing as the guest of Michi­gan
State authorities.
"Many Auburn men still have faith
in a favorable decision from Wynne."

Auburn Outbidding
Michigan For Wynne
(Montgomery Advertiser)
Indicating Auburn had exceeded by
a country mile the best offer Michi­gan
State could offer, officials of the
East Lansing institution yesterday
gave hopes that the Tigers might be
able to retain their popular and suc­cessful
head coach—Chet Wynne.
Meanwhile Wynne remains silent
on his plans and whatever may be
published apparently is guess-work.
Michigan State, it is understood,
offered Wynne $7,000 for one season
and no contract. Despite this low
figure in comparison to Wynne's orig­inal
salary at Auburn, the Michigan
State offer seems to be attractive in
the sense that-"certain burdens" will
not be imposed upon the head coach
as is the cast at Auburn.
What the "certain burdens" are
have not been made public but it is
a known fact that Coach Wynne has
had more than the average coach's
share of financial responsibilities.
Active campaigns have been
launched by various alumni chapters
of Auburn and it is believed that
these efforts are being directed pri­marily
toward the channels that have
created the "certain burdens" on the
head coach.

Auburn Rifle Team
Wins, Loses Three
By Ed. Moyer
Auburn's rifle team participated in
six matches last week, winning three
while losing a similar number. The
teams' score was 3,519 points.
The Tigers defeated the New York
Military Academy by 19 points, and
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan­ical
College by 32 points; Auburn's
five-man team scored 1,798 points,
thereby defeating the University of
Wyoming by 32 points. Auburn lost
to North Carolina State College by
14 points. The R. O. T. C. team of
Ohio State University defeated the
Tigers-by 108 points. The team fired
a three position match against Ohio
State's varsity and lost, 1,329 to 1,-
354.
The varsity of this week will fire
six matches. Reynolds, Freret, Cas-son,
Brewer, Zachry, Green, Van
Hoo$e, Dexter, Chandler, McCauley,
Strother, Robertson, Copeland, Brad-~
ford and Scherer compose this week's
team'. .
The University of California at
Berkley, Drexel Institute, West Vir­ginia
University, the University of
Georgia, the University of Delaware,
and the R. O. T. C. team of the Uni­versity
of Iowa will be Auburn's op­ponents
in the near future.
This week, for the first time this
season the varsity will watch the
freshman team perform. The plebes
will shoot against two opponents, the
freshman teams of the University of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
State College.
Bill Dexter, the highest scoring
plebe, will lead the team. Chandler,
Stother, Bradford, MacLaughlin,
Whatley, Wright, Callaway, Mercer,
and Tomlinson complete the squad.

will wonder why freshmen are

BANK OF AUBURN
Bank of Personal Service
teresting plea:
"It is with considerable sinking of
the spirit that we peruse the articles
concerning the grave probability of
Chet Wynne leaving Auburn. We
trust that Chet will pause and con­sider
long before he leaves the sunny
Southland to accept a position in
bleak, cold Michigan. And surely the
Auburn authorities are not going to
let this man get away without putting
up a battle to retain him. The loss
of Chet "Wynne would be a real ca­lamity
to Auburn, a school he carried
from the depths to the peak in foot­ball.
"And somehow or other we don't
believe that Chet would be as happy
at Michigan State. It is not a mem­ber
of the Big Ten, or any other con­ference
at all. It cannot possibly
cope with Michigan, Chicago and
other Big Ten schools in material.
"And Chet, you know you'll freeze
to death up there. Don't tell us
you're not cold-natured, for we know
better. Remember coming back on
the train from the Tulane game, and
how you kidded us about demanding
several blankets on what seemed to
be a fairly warm October night? And
then how later in the night you woke
up with a chill and Grawled in the
berth with Elmer Salter to get warm?
And you know how nervous you get
on the bench. Well, nervousness is
accentuated tenfold in a cold climate
like Michigan. Better stay in the
South, Chet, where hearts are warm
and your friends are legion, and the
climate j s fairly civilized in the Win­ter
time." *
ILLUSION:
One of Napoleon's soldiers rose to fame on the "Burn­ing
Oven" trick. A roaring fire was built in an oven
. . . the temperature rose to 600° F. Into the oven
walked the "fire king," M. Chabert, carrying several
raw steaks. A few minutes later the doors were flung
wide and out he stepped . . . safe and sound... with
the steaks thoroughly cooked.
EXPLANATION:
Heat rises. When Chabert entered the oven he hung
the steaks above the fire, in the center of the oven,
then dropped to the floor at the side, covering his head
with a hood made from his shirt. He breathed through
small air holes in the floor. When the steaks were
cooked he threw back the hood, grabbed the steaks, and
stepped out in triumph.
It's fun to be fooled
...it's more fun to KNOW
"The Burning Oven" is an old illusion
•which has played a leading role in ciga­rette
advertising. Its modern name is
"Heat Treatment."
EXPLANATION: All cigarette manufac­turers
use the heat-treating process.
Cheap, harsh, raw tobaccos require
intensive processing under high tem­peratures.
The more expensive tobac­cos,
which are naturally mild, call for
only a moderate application of heat.
The first Camel cigarette was manu­factured
under the heat-treating process.
Every one' of the billions of Camels
produced since has received the nec-
Copyrlght, 1933. B. J. BeynoldJ Tobacco Company
essary heat treatment. But remember
that heat treatment never makes cheap,
inferior tobacco good. It is not in heat
treatments, but in more costly tobacco
and fine blending, that Camels find
their appealing mildness and flavor.
It is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than
any other popular brand.
You sense this quality in the mildness
. . . the distinctive flavor... of Camels.
More costly tobaccos and a matchless
blend tell the story of Camel leader­ship
in public confidence.
Try Camels. Judge them critically.
Compare them with others for mild­ness,
for throat-ease, for good taste.
Key your taste to quality! Camels come
to you fresh and cool... in the air-tight,
welded Humidor Pack that keeps
dryness outside and freshness inside.

Alabama Highways
Employ Many Men
Highway construction under way
throughout the State furnished em,
ployment for approximately 3,000
men in December, and this number
will be increased due to the awarding
of additional contracts during the
month. Work on several govern­ment
structures in various parts of
the State continued to engage many
skilled and unskilled workers. There
was a notable decrease in coal-mine
operations, adding to the number of
unemployed in this industry. The
steel-fabricating plants worked for
below normal. There was a con­tinued
demand for cement due to
orders for highway construction,
which gave work to a large number
of men; however, these plants also
reported far below normal. The cot­ton-
textile mills continued active.and
many of these mills worked over­time.
The construction of the Gen­eral
Joe Wheeler Dam in the Muscle
Shoals district, to cost $1,738,000,
will soon be under way, providing
work to a large number of skilled and
unskilled men. The supply, of all
classes of labor, including clerical
and agricultural help, exceeded re­quirements.
AUBURN OUTBIDDING
MICHIGAN FOR WYNNE
(Continued from pageJJ)
Edmund Leach, president of the
Montgomery chapter of Auburn
Alumni, stated recently that he saw
no reason for an alumni meeting be­cause
"I thought Coach Wynne was
perfectly satisfied at Auburn." Yet,
local alumni have met and the loyal
sons of Auburn are determined to do
everything in their power to further
the interests of their institution in a
football way by keeping Wynne.
Just what course of procedure the
local alumni have taken is problemat­ical
since the meeting was private.
They want Wynne to remain and
they remain hopeful since they have
been reliably informed that Auburn is
prepared to add approximately $5,-
000 a year to the reported salary of
$7,000 offered him by Michigan
State. s
Wynne has made it quite plain
that he is not basing his probable de­cision
on the salary question. Those
close to him appreciate the manifold
duties thrust upon him arid their pro­gram
seems to be to concentrate
their efforts to have some of the bur­dens
lifted from the shoulders of
their coach, enabling him to devote
his undivided time and attention to
the team on the field.

YALE UNIVERSITY
-New Haven, Conn. — The Yale

in a late issue.
IS LIFE VALUABLE
We all realize that life constitutes
that span from birth until death. It
is often aptly pictured as an impos­ing,
beautiful bridge which crosses
the river of death. The floor of the
bridge is dotted with open trap-doors
from one shore to the other. Through
these the unfortunate, the careless
and the reckless ones drop .prema­turely.
There is only one pathway
which may be travelled to avoid all
traps on either side to hope to ap­proach
the far end of the bridge.
The span of average expectancy of
life has increased more than twelve
years due to the saving of lives which
have occurred in infants, children and
young adults. A human life has been
valued at $2,500. Granting that it
is difficult to discuss life and money
in any equivalent terms, would you
sacrifice the pleasure of living for
any sum of money? How careless
are we with our own lives and those
of other persons?
' A series of short articles will fol­low
in the Health Column to indicate
whether the citizens of Lee County
value their health and whether the
Lee County Health Department is
making progress in the conservation
of life and promotion of health.

4-H Club Girls
Aiding On Farms
Rural fathers and mothers in Ala­bama
are receiving more and more
help from their daughters in the im­provement
of farm life.
Last year 2,500 more 4-H Club
girls than in 1931 studied and put in­to
actual practice ways of preparing
and serving better food, making more
attractive and cheaper clothing, beau­tifying
the home, and other import-and
projects. The enrollment of 15,-
746 in 1931 increased to 18,246 in
1932.
"This increase was typical", said
Miss Bess Fleming, Auburn special­ist
in 4-H Clu bwork, "since a steady
growth in numbers has occurred from
year to year." Since Miss Fleming
took over in 1927 the work, the num­ber
of girls in 4-H clubs has increas­ed
more than 100 per cent, the.en­rollment
that year being 8,449; 1928,
10,215; 1929, 12,032; and 1930, 13,-
318.
In 1932 there were 585 clubs of
enterprising 4-H club girls in forty-two
Alabama counties who set their
minds and hands to problems of mak­ing
the farm a better and more en­joyable
place to live.
At regular meetings, last year,
these girls outlined and discussed
their various projects conducted at
home. In foods last year there were
6,534 girls; food preservation, 12,-
744; clothing, 6,029; landscape gar­dening,
4,433; and poultry, 2,319.
