/uBose Mouzon conducting the ser-

among the students and townspeo­ple
and at each service a capacity
congregation is in attendance. At
the first sermon of the services
Bishop Mouzon urged his hearers
to "get down to business" during
the week. He declared that he was
a preacher and not a Bishop, who
had come to Auburn to cooperate
with the people in a real religioua
revival. He said that "there was
o place for formality and if any­one
wore a stiff shirt to put it In
soak this week."
"Love of pleasure and love of
lower characterize the world to-
. ay and unless Christians unite to
•ave it through the gospel the world
jrould go to the Devil," Bishop
Mouzon declared, in his initial ser­mon.
He took for his text the 14th
Verse of the first chapter of the
Epistle of Paul to the Romans. "I
am. debtor both to the Greeks and
Barbarians, both to the wise and
unwise."

day through next Sunday at 10 A.M.
and 7 P.M. Bishop Mouzon is a
brilliant scholar and Auburn is ex­ceedingly
fortunate to have him
conduct the revival. He was or­dained
Bishop at the age of forty-one,
which position he has held
for the past fifteen years. Students
who wish to attend the revival
have permission from the college
to do so and not be credited with
an absence if a class conflicts at
the same period with the service
and all who can possibly do so
should^avail themselves of the op­portunity
of hearing Bishop Mou-

Benefit Dance
On Friday night a benefit dance
was given by the Chi Omega Sor­ority
in order to raise funds for
educational research work and to
build chapter houses. The dance
lasted from nine until twelve. Good
music was furnished by Bilbe's
orchestra. Captain and Mrs. Comp-ton
and Captain and Mrs. Althaus
were chaperons. In spite of the
fact that it was Friday the thir­teenth,
everybody had a most de­lightful
evening.
Hombre: "May I have the next
v dance?"
Fair One: "If you can find • a
y partner."—The Southern.
Dr. A. E. Winship, Editor of the
Journal of Education, and noted
lecturer, of Boston, brought a most
interesting lecture to the students
at Convocation Thursday, March
12. Dr. Winship spends a greater
portion of his time in traveling
throughout the United States. He
is very much interested in the ad­vancement
of Education and
speaks to most of the Civic Or­ganizations
in the towns he passes
through. -
In his talk, Dr. Winship made
the following statements: "The
world is moving so fast today that
one has to go like sin to stand
still. The college student is not
in college today to learn what
the professor knows, for if he is
satisfied with just the knowledge
of the teacher, he is out of the
game. Formerly seventy percent
of the knowledge of the teacher
caused one to be classed as a schol­ar.
Now one must surpass his
teacher in knowledge, while the
teacher should be constantly reach­ing
out for further knowledge.
"Eduction has no definite defi­nition.
Educatioir flr-tearain* &•
learn. The sole mission of the
teacher today is to challenge you
to learn. Scholarship and Educa­tion
are not the same. Scholarship
is the lumber from which the
foundation is made. Education is
the building placed upon the foun­dation.
A building is not valuable
unless it has a firm foundation,
thus education without a
foundation is like a house on
stilts."
. In speaking of the South, Dr.
Winship said: "I always boast
Montgomery County, Alabama, as
the leading county in the United
States in education work. Jeffer­son
County leads the United States
in the number of first class rural
school buildings erected in the
last seven years. It has gained over
eight hundred percent in rural at­tendance
in the last few years."
In speaking of an address given
in California, Dr. Winship told
how the Californians looked dazed
when he told them of a Southern
state which has no seaports, no
railroad terminals, no orchards or
vineyards, no gold, oil or gas, has
fifty percent less population than
California, yet pays more federal
tax than California. "North Caro­lina
pays thirty-five percent more
federal taxes than twenty other
states of the Union. They have
spent over $125,000,000 for good
roads the past year. They receive
more money for the schools from

beauty.
The new building consists of
both church and parish house un­der
one roof, the entire exterior
being completed while the interior
of the church is incomplete pend­ing
the collection of additional
funds. The entire interior of the
parish house, consisting of large
Sunday school auditorium with
divisional classrooms, guild room,
vestry room, choir room, and kit­chen,
as well as a club room for
students upstairs, is completed.
The church when completed will
seat more than 300. Algernon
Blair of Montgomery, was the con­tractor
and Frank Lockwood, an
Auburn Alumnus, also of Montgom­ery,
was the architect.
The Rev. George Ossman, rector,
is active here, carrying on, not on­ly
the work at Auburn, but also the
work at Opelika, Tuskegee and
Tuskegee Institute. During the
World War Mr. Ossman served as
divisional Chaplain of the 9th div-ison
stationed at Camp Sheridan,
Montgomery, where he made- num­erous
friends among Montgomery
citizens. Following the war he
went to Texas where he was rec­tor
of St. Andrews church, Hous­ton.
Mr. Ossman, was born in
Cleveland Ohio, and received his
college and theological education
at Sewanee, graduating with high
honors. He is a member of the

the Union. There are no county
taxes in this state. They encour­age
young people to marry and re­ceive
more income from marriage
licenses than from dog licenses.
In closing Dr. Winship told
of Prof. Chapley, who discovered
a new universe, yet did not seem
over-awed with the discovery. He
(hen said, "You are here to learn
about another universe and to
know things no profession knows
now."
Miss Lumpkin
Visits Y.W.C. A.
Some students remember, in our
Freshman and Sophomore years,
the lady who came to Auburn with
so much enthusiasm and helped us
so much as we were launching our
"TT*Wr-& ~ATrThtU same person,
Miss Katherine D. Lumpkin, who is
National Y. W. C, At Secretary,
visited Auburn again this past week
end.
Sunday evening, a large number
assembled at the Y. W. Hut to hear
Miss Lumpkin. One could almost
see the beautiful things of Blue
Ridge as she told about them and
all felt a strong desire to go.
After the open Y. W. meeting the
cabinet members were invited to
the home of Miss Susan Lipscomb
to have the cabinet meeting. The
cheery fire and singing of some of
those old spiritual hymns seemed to
give us inspiration and interest. We
had a splendid round table discus­sion
of what we thought Y. W. C.
A. means on a campus and what we
would like to see it mean to every
one at Auburn. Miss Lumpkin then
gave some splendid suggestions for
carrying out our ideas and for bet­terment
of the whole Y. W. C. A.
Another feature of Sunday's pro­gram
was a Vesper Song Service
held on the steps of Smith Hall at
six o'clock.
Ag.Freshmen Preparing for
Livestock Judging Contest
Members of the freshman class
in agriculture are warming up for
an annual livestock judging con­test,
the fourth of fts kind to be
staged in Auburn.
Under the direction of Prof. F.
W. Burns the boys are taking in­tensive
training in the fundamen­tals
of livestock judging and prizes
are being obtained for the winners.
Last year the members of the fresh­man
class "chipped in" and bought
a handsome watch which was
awarded to the best all-round judge
of livestock and other prizes, which
were given by breeders and others
interested* were won by other stu­dents.
Seventy-five boys are taking part
in the contest this year; and Prof.
Burns reports that interest is as
good or better than in former years.
The work will continue until short­ly
before commencement in May
when the final contest will be stag­ed,
at which the winners will be
determined.
Livestock judging is requited of
all students in animal husbandry,
and judging contests of the fresh­men
have been very helpful in
making the work more effective.
BE HONEST: Did you ever suc­cessfully
get away with anything?
Why not quit trying?
PROPOSED HONOR
SYSTEM CONSTITUTION
SENIOR CLASS HEADS MOVEMENT
Below is given the new proposed
constitution for the Honor System.
At a recent Senior class meeting it
was decided that a new constitu­tion
for the Honor System was
needed and a committee was ap­pointed
to draw it up. The com­mittee
had a meeting with the Hon­or
Committee, the presidents of the
classes and the president of the
Student Council for the purpose
of discussing the various points to
be included in the new constitu­tion.
After the discussion the com­mittee
met and drew up the pres­ent
proposed constitution which
was read and corrected at a sec­ond
meeting of the above mention­ed
students. At the Senior class
meeting of last week, after discus-ion,
it was proposed that the class
recommend the new constitution to
the student body.
The constitution, as it stands, is
subject to correction before the
vote is taken. There are many
points that are debatable and sev­eral
points, perhaps, omitted that
are necessary and ofher things that
should be corrected. It is the earn­est
desire of the Senior class that
Auburn have the best constitution,
for their. Honor System, possible
and to do this they must have the
help of the student body and fac-

GLEE CLUB
MAKES BIG HIT
Said to be the Best Ever
Presented by Local
Club
Before a capacity audience the
Auburn Glee Club gave its annual
home concert Saturday night. Their
appearance in Langdon Hall
brought to a close a successful
week's tour in the state. In addi­tion
to the vocal entertainment, the
instrumental selections by the Man­dolin
Club and the jazz music by
the orchestra made the perform­ance
one of the most enjoyable wit­nessed
on the campus in a number
of years. Each number was loudly
applauded and encores given were
of a quality equal to the listed
numbers.
The program was initiated by
three selections sung by the chorus,
"Soldiers of Freedom" by Petrie;
"The Song the Anvil Sings"; and
"When Roses Bloom." They were
excellently rendered and the ap­preciation
of the audience was ex­emplified
by numerous applauses.
"Rock All Our Babies to Sleep," yo­delled
by W. H. Francis was well
received and not until two encores
were given was he permitted to
leave the stage.
"Bits of Harmony" by the Mando­lin
Club registered a hit and string­ed-
instrument performers ^icquittedT"
themselves in fine style. -JThe pro/
gram included several popular col­lege
songs, the last of which "Glory,
Glory to old Auburn," brought forth"
a long round of applause from the
house. Following the Mandolin
Club, MacDowell's "Hungarian" was
exceptionally well done by Frank
Boyd, local "King of the Ivories."
Three selections were given by
the quartette composed of Tyler,
Cathcart, Strong, and Johnson. This
quartette of songsters proved them­selves
to be well versed in the art
of music and each executed his
part faultlessly. The three selec­tions,
in addition to the encores,
were: "My Love is as Fair as the
Blossom," "Who Knows," and "The
Bells of Shandon."
"Bells of the Sea" by Solman was
rendered in a vocal solo by M. G.
Smith, who received a long ap-i
plause. His caricature encore song
was equally well received.
Three selections were again ren­dered
by the chorus and were just
as enthusiastically applauded- as
their first appearance. The three
selections were: "Watchman! What
of the Night?", by Sargent; "Songs
My Mother Taught Me," by Dvorak;
and "Life is But a Song," by Win-gate.
To say that the best was saved
for the last is only doing justice to
the concluding number, or numbers,
rendered by "Tommy Jones and
his Orchestra." The organization
of six pieces, under the director­ship
of Tommie Jones, rent the air
with volumnious wails and moans
second to none heard since the
Junior Prom. These jazz artists
were repeatedly called back for en­cores,
and with each, they won
more than a Lion's share of the
applause. The program was con­cluded
by the A. P. I. Loyalty Song
and the Alma Mater song, sung by
the chorus.
The difference between sight
and vision—you can flatter a girl
by calling her a vision, but never
call her a sight.—The Reflctor.

All contributions to THE PLAINSMAN must be mailed or handed
in to the Plainsman office by not later than Tuesday night of each
week. Articles must be double spaced typewritten. Clubs and socie­ties
that meet on Tuesday night may make special arrangements for
their articles. The office is in room 4 under Langdon Hall.
All mid-semester grades must be in by April the first according
to reports received from the Registrar's office. Professors are re­quested
to bear this in mind and act accordingly. This information
should also warn students to avoid the wrath to come by taking a
peep at the book before all quizzes are over.
THE PLAXNMIAJI
A few students seem to persist in disfiguring college property.
New seats were put in a class room recently and in only a few days
a few should-be grammar school boys had cut their initials and
other non-intellectual inscriptions on the desks. Such things give a
bad appearance to the class rooms, make a bad surface to write upon
and is a direct reflection upon the thoughtfulness of the student
body. Let's give such things a little thought and try to leave Auburn
better than we found it rather than a battle scarred institution.
TJtf pledges of Tau Beta Pi recently constructed their Greek let­ters
on the lawn in front of Langdon Hall. These letters were con­structed
with great ascuracy andgave a beautiful appearance. Their
construction is symbolic of the things that Tau Beta Pi encourages.
They were a good example of design, neatness, and accuracy, all of
which are of very great importance to engineers. Auburn is very for­tunate
in having a chapter of this prominent Honor Fraternity on
the campus.
WHAT THE AGS AHE DOING
Hail the plow boys! With bare
feet and sunkissed cheeks, they
have appeared prominently in
their simplicity on the pages of lit­erature;
but in recent years they
have stepped from the pages of
poetry and leaving simplicity and
bare feet behind have made their
appearance in practically every in­stitution
and organization in Amer­ica.
At Auburn they are repre­sented
in all phases of college life.
"Fatty" Lawrence, "Hardboy"
Pruitt, "Noisy" Grisham, "Square-
Jaw" Salter, and "Shorty" Long
of,the past season foot ball squad,,
are the men the Ags. can justly feel
proud to claim as members of the
Big Ag. family. White, Young, and
Martin are the agricultural repres­entatives
of the cinder path;
while L. L. Aldridge, captain of
the championship class foot ball
team, together with Carroll, Mims,
Trammell, and Reeder, make up
the agricultural part of the Junior
Class team which has just finished
doing its stuff.
Some of the Ags. are musicians.
A reliable student claims that one
Ag. man made quite a hit last
summer up North with his singing.
His success (according to the re­port)
was due to the possession
of a rare combination, namely, the
face of a monkey and the voice of
a jackass. This talented young
man can not be induced to per­form
for his fellow students, how­ever,
and the musical part must
be taken care of by those who are
not so fortunate as to possess such
outstanding natural abilities.
The Ags. are well represented
in the band by W. A. Young, L. F.
McConnell, and J. A. Naftell. In
the Glee Club, Sparks,-Pruitt, Pon­der,
Tylor, Killough, and Wise up­hold
the standards of the farmers.
Agricultural students take an ac­tive
part in the Y. M. C.
A. and literary society work.
One third of the friendship
council, and (exclusive of the
"Rat" society) half the literary
society members are Ag. men.
Over half of the students ejected
to the new national forensic fra­ternity
are taking the agricultural
courses.
The Students Agricultural Club
is probably the most wide awake*
organization on the campus. It is,
composed of 125 active members
and several honorary members.
The club fosters an agricultural
fair, publishes The Alabama Farm­er,
and, holds an annual banquet,
in addition to giving training in
public speaking and presenting
interesting agricultural subjects to
its members. "Bill" Weidenbach
is president of the club at present.
The "Farmer," which is recog­nized
as one of the best college
agricultural magazines in U. S.,
is published without the aid of re­quired
subscriptions or salaried
editors. The editor-in-chief is J.
W." Fant; the managing ed­itor,
W. L. Randolph; the ad­vertising
manager, W. H. Weid­enbach;
and the circulation man­ager,
F. Mullins. Another man
connected with the Alabama
Farmer is also connected with the
weekly college paper. This man
is W. A. Young, advertising man­ager
of The Plainsman.
In this year's Phi Kappa Phi in­itiations,
seven of the twenty-three
students taken in were Ag. men.

Gamma Sigma Epsilon
Holds Initiation
**Last Monday night the Gamma
Sigma Epsilon Chemical Honor
Fraternity, held their annual spring
initiation. The ceremony began at
7:00 in the Chemical building,
three initiates being admitted at
this time. At 8:30 the meeting ad­journed
to the College Cafe where
a sumptuous banquet lay waiting.
Professor Hare officiated as toast-master.
Speeches Were made by
Dr. Ross, Professors Martin and
Marsh and Messrs. Saunders and
Scalco, besides short talks by the
other members present and the
three new members.
Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock a crowd of Y. W. C. A. girls
enjoyed the most unique hike of
the season, in honor of Miss Kath
erine Lumpkin, National Y. W. C
A. Secretary. The weather condi­tions
were not all that could be de­sired
but the rain waited to fall un­til
they had time to reach their des
tination and build a fire. Then it
came down in torrents, diluting the
ice tea and steaming,the hot dogs.
The hardy hikers stuck to their
business of cooking in spite of such
minor difficulties. After the food
had been consumed the. rain paus
ed for an interval. A track meet
was immediately staged to warm
up the chilled girls. The broad
jump proved the most popular
event but the shot put and the hun­dred
foot dash also proved inter­esting.
Miss Lumpkin won most of
the events.
Just as the interest in the track
meet mounted . to top pitch, the
rain began again so the next event
was announced as a "swim for
home." Wet and col<L but happy,
the participants in the Y. W. hike
pronounced it an unusual success.
Out-Door Breakfast
They are Hale, Smith and Reeder.
Hodges, Young, Smith and Reeder.
The Ags. are well represented in
Spades, Alpha Phi Epsilon, Scar­abs,
and other honor societies.
The out-door breakfast given by
the girls of Sigma Rho Sorority on
Saturday morning was most enjoy­able.
At six o'clock the girls were
beginning to congregate on the
front steps of Smith Hall and were
soon on their way.
After several minutes of in­vigorating
hiking, a camp fire
was spied in the big woods on the
edge of town. As they neared the
fire the usual spring morning odors
of pine needles and freshly plowed
earth were blended with the aroma
of boiling coffee. The guests were
first served oranges and apples
and soon a very jolly crowd was
seated around the fire busily roast­ing
bacon and cheese balls and
toasting bread, on long sticks, and
scrambling eggs in a big frying
pan.
This was an all-sorority affair,
the guests including all the soror­ity
members here. The only out­sider
was Miss Lumpkin of the Y.
W. C. A., who, through her delight­ful
personality, lent much pleasure
to the occasion.
Anti-Kampus Kickoff
Governor Bradley was heard to
remark that if Doug McLaren was

Wilsonian Literary Society
The Wilsonians met at their usu­al
place on Tuesday night at 7
o'clock. The roll call was omitted
in order not to count anyone ab­sent
who had gone to the revival
services that are being held at the
Methodist Church. The attendance
was good and a number of visitors
were present. During the business
session B. W. Creel and O. J. Manci
were appointed to meet with the
representatives of the other socie­ties
and make plans for the inter-society
basketball tournament. The
President urged that all who wish­ed
to get pins of the society turn
their names in to Miss Nale.
Miss Lambert gave the Bible read­ing.
Mr. L. M. Trawick gave a very
interesting talk on H. G. Wells. A
very interesting talk was made by
Mr. J. N. Nelms on "Briefly Told."
The many things that Mr. Nelms
told in his talk were things of real
interest and seldom heard. A most
enjoyable reading was rendered by
Miss Emily Hare. The outstanding
part of the program came at the
last. The now famous Mr. B. E.
Meadows was present and pulled
some of the best slight of hand
tricks ever witnessed before the
Wilsonian. His part was well en­joyed
by all present.
. On next Tuesday night there will
be a treat for all who enjoy good
debating. All who wish to hear the
debate please be out at 7 o'clock.
For further information see the
bulletin board.
Christian Endeavor Report
Last Sunday the young people of
the Presbyterian Church in Ope-lika
were interviewed regarding
the proposition of establishing a
Christian Endeavor Society there
Those consulted were enthusiastic
over the idea, but could offer no
definite answer until the others had
been approached. They intend to
call a meeting Wednesday to_de_;
tide the question.
There are so few of them, only
numbering in the neighborhood of
nine or ten, that there is a possi­bility
of their deciding the plan use­less,
but our society holds that with
even ten, if they be in earnest and
work faithfully, a very interesting
little circle could be formed, which
could by its very enthusiasm bring
in others. If they decide to let us
help them organize a society the
Auburn society will go down in a
body next Sunday evening, March
22, meeting at the Presbyterian
Church here at 6:00 P. M.
As there is to be no service in
the Presbyterian Church here next
Sunday night, Mr. Miles will preach
in the Presbyterian Church in Ope-lika
immediately following the
Christian Endeavor, which will
serve to bring out a full attendance
and swell the enthusiasm. Our dear
"Bobbie" is always ready with
plans of assistance, and we shall
most certainly find his' abundant
spirit and contagious enthusiasm
of wonderful benefit in our organi­zation
meeting next Sunday night.
Every one on the roll will be
notified in time to be on hand if
they should decide to want us.
Sunday after next* if ,we go to
Opelika next Sunday, and next Sun­day,
if we dont, the meeting will
be led by W. H. H. Putnam, and
the subject for discussion will be
the last of the soul winning trio,
"What we can do to win others to
Christ."

HONOR SYSTEM
100 PROOF
Opponents of Prohibition con­cede
it to be a failure, reasoning
that the law is so bad that nobody
will obey it, and that since nogody
will obey it the law must be bad.
WORDS TO THE WISE
A Leeds relieving officer states
that 90 percent of runaway hus­bands
haVe blue eyes. Single lad­ies
seeking eligible swains are
warned to bolt from the blue-eyed
ones.—The Blue and Gray.
After cussing and discussing the!
inefficiency of the present honor
system it seems that the Senior
class has at last taken action on the
matter, and appointed a committee
which has devised a new honor
system. At a class meeting Tues­day
the Senior class voted to rec­ommend
the proposed system to
the student body.
While we heartily approve of the
proposed system as a whole, we
feel that certain points should
clarified, and in order to do this
these points should be brought to
the attention of the students, who
may make any changes they deem.
necessary before voting on it.
In the section of the constitution
providing for the infliction of pen­alties
there is no fixed punishment
provided for the different offenses.
It gives the honor committee sole
power to inflict whatever punish­ment
they see fit. Every uppe
classman in Auburn knowt
from observation that occas­ionally
the wrong kind of:
man is elected to the honor com­mittee.
A man of this type is likely
to show partiality to his special
friends. Also some very prominent
students have more "pull" than
others. It is human nature for a
person to be more lenient with a
person he is especially interested
in; therefore without fixed penal­ties
it will be impossible for everyi
one to obtain the same treatment.'
Is this fair?
"In-order to minimize thi
tiality it has been proposed that
any member of the honor commit­tee
who for any reason is person­ally
interested in the accused, by
reason of being a relative, room­mate,
fraternity brother, or a very
close personal friend should be in­eligible
to sit with the committee
on this particular case. Each mem­ber
of the honor committee should
be honor bound to withdraw if any
of the above conditions apply to
him. This would tend to guaran­tee
to all students a trial upon an;
equal basis.
Another point which is ope a fox-debate
is the question whether or
not, since the women have at sep­arate
student government they
should also have a separate honor
committee. It is doubtful whether
a man's honor committee would
judge a woman on the same basis
as they would a man.
Next we come to the relation of
the faculty to the honor system.
We are all familiar with the type
of professor who boasts that he;
will receive his pay chesk regular­ly
although every member of his:
class may fail. He also boasts that
he passed .his chemistry in 1907
and that it is no concern, of his
who passes now. Do you think that
it is proper for professor^ of this,
type to be in Auburn? In Our opin­ion
this type of professor has done-more
to kill the present honor sys­tem
than any other one factor. It-is
certainly an incentive to crib
when a professor of this type con­tinually
tells about how many of
his class are going to four out, and
records back him up. When over
ten to fifteen per cent of the stu­dents
in a class fail, it ceases>~to be ••
a reflection upon the students, and!
becomes a direct reflection upom
the ability of the professor as a
teacher. It is only logical to sup­pose
that the honor system will be
a great success with the coopera-i
tion of the faculty and a colossal
failure without faculty cooperation.
Our hope is that the above sug­gestions
will set the faculty as well
as the student body to thinking,.
and will help to make the propos- -
ed Honor System.—A Student.

Every engineering student is
prone to neglect his business train­ing.
To help remedy this tendency
a recent program of the local
branch of the A. I. E. E. was de­voted
to a lecture by Prof. Thomas
of the Department of Machine De­sign,
on business. Prof. Thomas is
especially fitted for such a lecture
as he is both a successful engineer
and -business man.
The lecture was mostly on that
phase of business which deals with
investments, especially those by
the* wage earner. To begin, the
speaker said that ninety-five per
cent of all American business was
dione on the credit system and that
ninety per cent was done with the
aid of checks. He advised that one
place himself under obligation to
pay? as an incentive to save, pro­viding
that the obligation is assum­ed
to pay for an investment. The
differences between sound invest­ing
and playing, the market were
explained. Several success tips
given by the speaker were: culti­vate
business men and bankers,
save, as a man who cannot save
cannot be a success, and beware
of mine and oil stock when invest­ing.
his cousin, were characteristic of
the type of friends that an artist
attracts. They got into the parts
very well. The advice of Parks
was particularly amusing.
Ben Robinson as John Potts,
whose canned goods kill the hea­then,
and Clio Hearn as Bella Potts,
his daughter, were good examples
of the "nouveau riche," both of
them interpreting the parts well.
Myrlee Feulner as Mrs. Mumford
Wells, the society matron played
the part of the thirty-five year old
society woman who "knows the
ropes" very attractively.
Grace Gardner as Patsy, whose
Mother washes, was a good collec­tor
of bills and Charline Baughman
as Mary, the maid, played the part
with the characteristic condecen-sion
which all players of maids
parts necessarily have.
The play was thoroughly enjoy­ed
by all who were present, in­cluding
several of the townspeople.

AUBURN, ALABAMA
Monday night was a bad night,
yet a large attendance enjoyed the
program of the Freshman Literary
Society. Mr. Harkins told us quite
conclusively "Why Men Won't
Marry" and we don't blame them.
Mr. Jones gave the latest
reports on the last eclipse, which
were very interesting. It seems
that they can get more out of one
eclipse than we could imagine in
a lifetime. Mr. Phillips spoke on
"Russia and Japan at last agreed,",
and his conclusions were very in­teresting.
Mr. Root explained how
the age of fire was passing and
how the age of steam was taking
its place, not to mention electricity.
All in all it was a very good pro­gram
considering the condition of
the weather. There will be a reg­ular
meeting next week and all
members are urged to be there as
there will be a discussion and vot
ing on the amendment concerning
future members.
WHAT'S IN A LITERARY SOCIETY
This from Roy C. Cargile. "There
is in a Literary Society jp«t what
you put into it. If you nope to
gain anything from belonging to a
society, you must take a front seat
and' enter into the whole spirit of
the meeting. Nothing ventured no­thing
gained; and you will be amp­ly
repaid for your services both in
a Literary Society and throughout
life."
At the last meeting of the Veter­inary
Medical Association much in­terest
was shown. After the usual
business session was disposed with
the following subjects were dis­cussed
by members on the pro­gram.
Dr. Staton made an unusu­ally
good demonstration on per­forming
"Rumenotomy" on the
cow. Mr. McKee made a very in­teresting
talk on Tetanus. He show­ed
great ability as a speaker, and
at no time did he lack words to
express himself very clearly. Mr.
Isbell read a good paper on Azo-turia.
He showed that he was well
informed on the subject as he was
able to answer most all questions
during the general discussion. The
work of the V. M. A. is being push­ed
with much enthusiasm.
Where dependability is vital
IN connection with a new pumping station at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, additional feeder mains were required. It was
necessary that one of these should carry an unusually large
proportion of t h e water supply, and 54-inch pipe was decided
upon.'Although pipe of material other than cast iron had a
lower first cost, Cast Iron Pipe was chosen because t he possibil­ity
of interruption to service had to be reduced to a minimum.
The photograph above shows a section of pipe being lowered
into the ditch in the process of laying it.

"His Model Wife", a play in one
act, was presented in the Attic
Theatre Monday night, March 16.
The play was coached by Dryden
Baughman.
Arthur Evrett, the artist, is giving
a studio tea when his rich aunt,
who is a missionary, turns up un­expectedly.
She thinks him marri­ed;
this being the condition on
which he gets the inheritance. The
"model" poses as his wife for the
time being and complications set
in. Things are finally settled when
the girl Evrett is really in love with
satisfactorily explains things.
David Wright, as Arthur Evrett,
the artist, showed his ability to
play the1 part of the artist quite as
well as that of the actor.
Catherine Hare, as Willy, the
model wife, was also one of the
outstanding characters of the play.
The breaks she made while playing
wife and the way she made them
was highly amusing.
Alma Bentley as Miss Agnes Mc-
Pherson, the old maid aunt, was
peculiarly typical. Her portrayal
of this part was very good indeed.

THE unceasing growth of
the automobile industry,
the development of long and
short-haul trucking, the
spread of motor-bus routes
and the vital national need
for bringing farm produce
to its markets more speedily
and at less cost—these fac­tors
have put an impetus and
a pressure behind the paving
industry which cannot lessen
until every state is a net­work
of hard-surfaced trunk
highways with myriads ofv
paved "feeders"reaching out
into each smaller center.
The corollary to this is that
the young engineer who
decides to specialize in pav­ing
as a life-work is certain
to find a constantly active
market for his service.

HEFTY PROGRAM
Seven Tilts Scheduled for
Campus
A very attractive, and at the
same time a fairly stiff menu has
been offered the Auburn baseball
team this spring according to the
schedule just released. A score of
games has been arranged for the
Cole-Heavers, and the opposition,
from the Fort Benning Alpha to the
Mercer Omega, is almost uniform­ly
stiff, and of a type that will call
for the best that the tossers pos­sess.
Trips to seven cities are includ­ed
in the Tiger's itinerary, thirteen'
of the games having been schedul­ed
on foreign diamonds. No
lengthy "trips will be negotiated by
the diamond artists, Anderson, S.
C, being the most distant city to
be visited.
The Plainsmen will tee off
against Fort Benning next Friday,
on the Soldiers' home course, and
will follow up with another game
Saturday against the same team.
These games will give the Plains­men
a good line on their prospects,
as the Blue manages to put out a
strong team in every department,
and has always given the Ti!ger the
stiffest kind of opposition.
After having been entertained by
the Infantrymen for two days, the
Auburnites will turn about and act
as hosts to the Soldiers on the fol­lowing
Tuesday and Wednesday.
With these four troublesome games
disposed of, favorably or not, the
Tigers will trek to Birmingham to
engage the Panther of Birmingham-
Southern in a two game series.
This will mark the first, last, and
only visit of the Plainsmen to the
Magic City during the baseball sea­son.
1
fcUrning^£uiMMtf0BhaiJ«'rV to
South Pittsburgh, the Tigers will
rest up for a few days and then
take on Georgia the following
week-end. The Bulldogs and Tig­ers
can usually manage to pull o:ff
some pretty good bouts in almos.t
every sport, and baseball is no ex­ception.
Fans still remember thai
great hurlers' duel last season be­tween
Knight and Sale, in whic!b
the former allowed but two hits,,
both circuit clouts, and thus lost
a 2-1 verdict.
A series that will probably draw
the fanatics in large numbers is the
one between Auburn and Illinois,
the scene of the conflict being
Cramton Bowl. Although some good
baseball can be looked forward to,
the big drawing card, of course,
will be the illustrious "Red" Grange
who ran amuck on the gridiron
last fall. It is expected that a good­ly
number of students will repair
to Montgomery to view the flam­ing-
topped youth in action.
Returning again to their native
heath, the Auburnites will tackle
the Vanderbilt Commodores in a
pair of contests. After this a sort
of split series will be indulged in,
the Tigers going to Atlanta on Fri­day
to take on the Yellow Jackets,
and then returning with the Tech-sters
on the following day for a
game in Auburn, this being inci­dentally,
the last campus game of
the season.
On May Day the first battle of
a four game trip will be fought
out in Athens against the Georgia

arranged for the following day. On
the following Monday and Tuesday
the Plainsmen will hold forth in
Anderson, S. C, with the gallant
Clemson Tiger playing the role of
opponent. Tuesday afternoon will
find the Tigers (Auburn variety)
cavorting on the same diamond,
but with the Purple Hurricane of
Furman opposing their march.
The two final games of the sea­son
will take place in Macon, with
the Mercer Bears furnishing the op­position,

RAT PRACTICE STARTS
Many Candidates Answer
Coach Newell's Summons
When the call for Freshmen can­didates
for the first practice was
issued last Saturday afternoon
about seventy-five ambitious Rats
responded. The new field has
been scraped and put in shape for
practice tilts, while the big team
will play- as usual on the old field.
In spite of the rather cool weath­er
the youthful T>all tossers started
in at once to limber stiff arms and
to stretch still stiffer legs. Kirk
Newel has assumed charge of the
green cohorts of the diamond just-as
everybody had begun to fear
that we would have no Rodent out­fit.
The colors of the uniforms
which could be seen on the field
Saturday afternoon were anything
but uniform. Uniforms represent­ing
all kinds of High Schools, Semi-
Pro, Y. M. C. A., City League, and
Sand Lot teams from all parts .of
the country were very much in ev­idence,
while many of the aspir­ants
were clothed in their regular
"Cits." While one crew was cavort­ing
around the new field another
hastily chosen team was dealing
fits to the Varsity on the regular
field.
The team which met the Griffin
outfit played remarkably well con­sidering
that it was the first time
they had played together. The
fact that they held the regulars to
an 8-6 count seems to indicate that
the Tiger Cubs possess a great
amount of hidden possibilities, but
it is^-far-too early to predict what
will be the~"tlnai~ outcome "of"tfce
season. The litter of Kittens which
sharpened their claws on the old­er
Beasts have by no means cinched
a numeral. They were merely
chosen because they were about the
only ones with uniforms.
As usual many High School and
Prep stars have reported for work.
Some of the most noteworthy of
these are: "Mike" Manley, slug­ging
outfielder from the Birming­ham
City Lague; Hitchcock, flashy
shortstop from Troy State Normal;
Sankey, another snappy short field­er
from Walker Co. High; Buck
Ellis of Simpson High and all
around Freshman Athlete who
holds the keystone sack well under
control; Ebb James, dependable
backstop and Fobb James, initial
sacker, both of whom made their
letters at Lee County High; Tux-worth,
who cavorts around the
"hot corner" and Wood, a chunk-er
of no little renown who hails
from Walker Co. High. Of course
there are other Freshmen who may
beat out these men and there is a
possibility that none of the above
mentioned Rats will win the cov­eted
numeral, but it is hard to see
where a team could be picked
without some of these names in the
box score.
As yet, because of the exceeding­ly
late start, there has been no
schedule arranged for the Rodents,
but it is probable that games will
be played with Troy State Normal,
the Georgia Rats and possibly
with the Tech Rats. There is no
reason why a contests could not
be arranged with the Junior Pan­thers
from the Hilltops of the Mag­ic
City.
There should be a wealth of
material on hand from this year's
team to greet Coach Morey when
he takes over the reins next year.
A great deal of credit should be
given to Kirk Newell who devotes
so much of his time to the First
Year teams in order that Varsity
may be assured of finished players
to step into the vacant places.
ence teams, while in the remain­der
the Plainsmen face some of
the strongest Southern diamond ag­gregations.

SPRING HAS CAME
R. L. LOCKE
The Adonis-like countenance
seen just north belongs to our not­ed
and efficient track captain,
"Bobby" Locke. Mr. Locke has
held forth on the track team for
Quite ma white TttrW aria has always
been a sure point-gainer. In fact
he has risen to the heights, both}
literally and figuratively speakingv
as he is a pole-vaulter and high
jumper by inclination.
While Mr. Locke is very effic­ient
in the high-jump, it is in the
vault that he shines with partic­ular
splendor. His mark consis­tently
hangs around a dozen feet,
and when this mark was changed
it was for the better. The most
radical change took place against
Tulane last year, when the tall
captain climbed twelve feet, five
inches, into the ozone, and gave
Auburn one of the few first places
recorded' in that meet.
Locke expects to make his Swan
Song a very sweet one this year,
and everybody is pulling for him
to leave the ground even further
below while carrying on his favor-
ALL-STAR MINSTRELS
BEING ORGANIZED
Proceeds Will Go for "A"
Club Scholarship
Plans are fast being completed
for the appearance of the Auburn
all-star minstrel, which will make
its appearance at some date in the
near future. This show, which is
fostered by the "A" Club will con­tain
the best talent in "black-face",
dancers, singers and specialty en­tertainers,
to be found on the cam­pus,
and all indications point to
the fact that it will be the best of
its kind seen here in many days.
The proceeds of the show will go
to t h e "A" Club Scholarship Fund,
which will afford several deserv^
ing athletes the privilege of attend­ing
Auburn, that otherwise could
not come here. There is a need
for more athletic stars in our stu­dent
body, and there is no better
way of helping out the athletic sit­uation
here than by supporting this
show and making it possible for
several worthy athletic students to
attend here on regular student
scholarship funds.
Watch the next issue of the
Plainsman for more particulars but
in the meantime let's talk it up and
back this movement to the last
man.
its stunt. Auburn seems due for a
successful season this year, and it
is only fitting that Locke, one of
the most regular five-point gather­ers,
should lead the team in its
victories.
Speaking Of Sports
Old John J. Baseball has his of­ficial
awakening this week-end
when the Tigers take on Fort Ben­ning
in more or less mortal com­bat.
As the first two games will
be played away from home, the
followers of the Striped Cat will
not have a chance to get an early
line on the team in action.
The Big Team will make its cam­pus
debut next Tuesday. Inciden­tally
the Soldiers will again fur­nish
the opposition.
By the time the -Tigers and In­fantrymen
play their four games in
a row they ought to have a pretty
good idea as to their respective
abilities.
That Wallis, Griffin, Allen and
Stewart combination may not be a
Million Dollar infield, but we hope
to see them up in the hundred
thousands this year.
Since Bozo Self hit that triple
last Friday in practice, he has been
contemplating writing a book on
"The Art of Hitting."
Judging by his work last year he
could write an excellent volume on
fielding, for the big boy sure did
haul 'em in.
The tracksters have been doing
their stuff on the rim of Drake
Field, preparing for a hard season.
Bowling and Myers Outfit
Trims Loachapoka
FIRST HOME GAME
NEXT TUESDAY
Fort Benning to Help Usher
in '25 Season
Two things of note happened
last Saturday afternoon. First of
all, the rain fell, it being the first
visit of J. Pluvius in many months.
And secondly, the Bowling and
Myers baseball team won a game.
The local regulators of fashion
gathered about them their "trus­ty
underlings and journeyed to
the barren wastes of Loacha­poka,
where they took on the
nine of the municipality in a
game of baseball, the first rec­orded
tilt of the season. And
their trip was not in vain, for the
clothing boys brought back with
them a big slice of the proverbial
bacon, in the shape of a 9 to 2 vic­tory.
Due to the fact that the afore­mentioned
Mr. Pluvius was staging
his bi-monthly visit, the game was
called in the sixth, with the scare
mounting rapidly in favor of the
visitors. However, the huge and
enthusiastic .crowd seemed to be
satisfied, as not one of them de­manded
their money back.
Rifle Team
Making Success
Under the able coaching of Cap­tain
Groves and Sergeant McFeely
the Auburn Trigger Squeezers have
been climbing rapidly to the top of
things. This is easily proved by a
few scores of this year's shooting.
V. M. I. and A. & M. were defeated
by scores of 219 and 53 points re­spectively.
In the Corps Area
matches the shouting Tigers came
out fourth in the standing position
and sevond in the kneeling posi­tion.
Taken all in all Auburn has a
good chance to win the Hershey's
match. This means a cup to the
team winning and a gold medal to
the man with the highest score
whether his team wins or not. In
this match seven men shoot and the
five highest scores count.
The men on the team are: John­son
(Capt.), Lowe, McPherson, Mor­row,
S. L., Payne, Hollingsworth,
Stephenson, McCarley, Rumph, Ho-bart,
Howe, Reeves, Wood and
Burns.

If the cinderpath artists come
through this year without losing a
dual meet, they will deserve a lot
of credit, for the schedule is a stiff
one, one of the stiffest in fact that
has ever been attempted by a South­ern
track aggregation.
Track has never received its due
amount of publicity and patronage
in the South, due mainly to the fact
that Southern track was greatly in­ferior
to the Northern and Western
brand.
However, with the Dixie athletes
putting more time on their running,
the class of Southern track is much
higher now, and there are several
Southern schools who can rank
with the best.
As Auburn has one of the fore­most
track teams in the south, it it
only just that they should) receiVe
some encouragement for their ef­forts.
Get behind the tracksters
and whoop 'em up, and when Tech
appears here on the 4th of April,
the student body should turn out
en masse to back up the team.
Since our noble assistant, Mr.
Lynne, has contracted the poetry
disease, it is time for us to retain
our laurels as pote lariat. The fol­lowing
is a touching rhyme (or
is it rime) entitled "The Triumph
of Youth" and is guaranteed to
bring tears from a dinosaur.
It is an ancient shortstop,
And he stoppeth one of three;
Then quoth the irate captain,
"You can't play ball for me!"
And to the bench he waved him,
For age and sport don't mix;
Now in his place holds forth a
youth
Who stoppeth one of six.
Note: Grammar, time, meter, etc.,
not guaranteed.
"The thrill that comes once a
year" will be on deck Tuesday
when His Majesty, the Umpire, calls
"Play Ball" for the first time in
many a month. The long empty
bleachers will no longer be empty,
there will be many an argument
as to whether that last one was a
hit or an error, there will be cheers
for the Tiger, jeers for the other
team, and dire threats for the ar­biter.
In other words, the base­ball
season is about to begin.
While this learned sheet is in
the process of being printed and
delivered to the clamoring multi­tude,
the Tigers will be in that" su­burb
of Columbus which is known
as Fort Benning. And we know
not what material the Soldiers pos­sess
this year, we hesitate to make
any prediction, favorable, or other­wise.
However, we venture to predict ...
one thing. Unless the Soldiers have
an ultra-powerful aggregation, they
will have their trouble downing
the Plainsmen. And, granting that
they have a powerful enough aggre­gation
to tame the Tigers, we be­lieve
that the aforementioned Tig­ers
will limber up enough to give
the Blue quite a surprise when the
invasion of Auburn takes place.
Just who will start the game re­mains
a dark and bloody mystery.
The return of Pete Fancher will
complicate matters somewhat as
last year's first-sacker is bound
to give somebody a heap of trouble. '
However it is believed that he will
try for another place othet *han the
initial sack, as Waiiis seems to
have that position roped, hog-tied
and ready for delivery.
Griffin, Allen, and Stewart are
pretty certain to round out the in­field,
for a few games, at least. The
.outfield remains an uncertai
ty, but SeTfn>te£nraiR5rMarieTlook
to be about as good a bet as any. -
However, with men like Booth,
Moulton, Sitz, and others in the
running, it cannot be said just who
will get the call.
The catcher's job will in all like­lihood
be a tossup. between Maury
and McDonald, although there are
several good applicants for the
position. McDonald has shown the
best form behind the bat, but his
stickwork remains weak.
With a host of hurlers on hand,
the job of selecting the initial toss-er
will be an uncertain one. It is
hard to even venture a guess as. to
which pitcher will be the first one
called on. The good old method
of drawing the name out of the hat
seems to be about as good as any.
In many respects the first game
of the season is always the best.
At the outset one is nearly always
optimistic and has not had his
faith shattered by a bad season.
Hence everybody is in a good frame
of mind and peace reigneth sup­reme.
It is to be hoped that every­body
will have a chance to keep
in a good humor the entire season,
and if everybody gets out and
backs the team to the limit and
lets the players know that every­body
is behind them, who knows
but that the '25 Tiger team will run
wild against everybody? The stage
is set, the curtain is slowly rising,
the pitcher getting ready to throw
the first one—and here's hoping
that it's a strike. ..
A friend of ours came into our
private sanctum (?) where we
were doing our daily dozen on the
trusty Remington. He was breath­ing
rapidly and looked the worse
for wear but he had a smile on his
face.

he grinned, "and you shoulda seen
him run." ,
"That so?"
"Yeh, but he didn't catch me."

EVEN LANGUAGE CHANGED
(Washington Star)
"It's wonderful what changes
the automobile has brought about 1"
"Yes." said Mr. Chuggins. "I can
remember when people got togeth­er
and had a real good time and
called it a 'blowout'."
C90LLEGE athletic teams illustrate
forcibly one truth—men achieve by
inspiration. The bleachers' cry of
"Hold 'em! Hold 'em!" has kept
many a goal line uncrossed. "Touch­down!
Touchdown!" has scored
countless victories.
In an engineering organization
like Westinghouse, this inspiration
comes from engineering executives—
men who correlate, organize, admin­istrate,
and inspire. They are engi­neers
first, but engineers with the
power to enlist the best of other men.
Many derived their owrt first in­spiration
from the Founder, George
Westinghouse himself. He took a
contract for electrifying the New
Haven Railroad, for example, before
the apparatus had even been designed.
"Now I've dropped you into the
middle of the pond," he told his engi­neers.
"It's up to you to swim out."
There was plenty of swimming—
butWestinghouse knewhis swimmers.
As has been true since organiza­tion
began, the demand for men who
can develop into leaders is far, far
short of the supply. Westinghouse
welcomes them. All industry wel­comes
them. Organizations lead be­cause
men, in turn, lead them.
This advertisement is seventh in a vocational series, outlining the
fields for engineering achievement in the Westinghouse organization.
A copy of the entire series will be sent to anyone requesting it.
