Ag. Campus
to be Scene of
Revue April 15
The Home, as visualized by Miss
Dana Gatchell, head of the food and
nutrition department of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic )_ Institute, will
be portrayed in a revue presented
on the agricultural campus here,

which will be used by the 130
people taking part therein.
The setting will be the terraced
hill-side on the agricultural cam­pus
where, in the words of the au­thor,
"surrounded by Nature's own
wonderful beauty is enthroned the
spirit of the home, typifying all
that is beautiful in the home. Here
is gathered all the factors that en­ter
into this spirit, woven into a
complete oneness by health and
happiness."
In the revue will be the leading
women of Auburn, young ladies in
college, high school girls, grammar
school children, and mere tots,
each being in appropriate costume
for her part
__ Jt jwill begjin_at 5:00 P. M., _an
hour when all nature combines in
the most impressive beauty on the
agricultural campus.
As a finale, all will bind them­selves
to the home and with rain-bow-
hued ribbons they will pledge
in song their loyalty.
Miss Jennie Mcintosh, head of the
home economics department of the
Lee County High School will repre­sent
the spirit of the home. Miss
Eleanor Buckalew, of Montgomery,

CHAPTER RHO CHI
HONOR SOCIETY IS
INSTALLED HERE
New Fraternity Initiates
Eight Members of
Pharmacy School
DR. L.S. BLAKE IN CHARGE
OF INAUGURATION
A new honor society was install­ed
on the Auburn campus Monday
night, April 6th, in the form of
Rho Chi, a national honor society
for pharmeceutical students. Eight
students were chosen to be mem­bers
of the Auburn chapter, which
was installed by Dr. L. S. Blake,
of Auburn, a member of the Alpha
Chapter of Rho Chi at the Univer­sity
of Michigan.
The purpose of Rho Chi is to pro­mote
the pharmaceutical sciences
and to foster and promote good
fellowship among the students.
Chapters may be installed only at
schools where the pharmacy de­partment
is a member of the Ameri­can
conference of Phamaceutical
Faculties.
Rho Chi was founded at the Uni­versity
of Michigan in 1922 and
since then has granted chapters in
various parts of the country. The
Auburn chapter is the sixth, or Ze-ta,
chapter.
In order for a student to become
eligible for membership in Rho Chi
he must pass sixty semester credit
hours of scholastic work in phar­macy,
show proficiency in phar­macy
and the allied sciences, be of
good character, and be recommend­ed
by the head or dean of the de­partment
of pharmacy. An average
of eighty is also necessary for mem­bership
in the Auburn chapter.
The initation of the eight mem­bers
took place on Friday night,
but the installation of the chapter
was not given until Monday night,
when it was held in connection
with the fifth annual banquet of the
Pharmaceutical Society. There were
sixty students and visitors present
at this banquet, which was held at
the DowellTea Room.
The initiates of Rho Chi were
distinguished from the rest of the
guests by the* white carnations
which they wore, as the flower of
the order. These eight initiates
were: L. T. Agee, of Lamison, Ala;
O. V. Smith, Dawson, Ala.; I. S.
Y.M.C.A. OFFICERS
FOR YEAR 1925-26

Election to be Held Tuesday
and Thursday of
Next Week
The senior members of the
Friendship Council at a recent
meeting nominated the following
candidates for officers of the Young
Men's Christian Association for the
scholastic year 1925-26. It was
only after careful consideration
that the names were placed on the
ballot, many others being consid­ered.
The election will be held
next Tuesday and Thursday, the
freshmen voting on Tuesday and
the upper classmen on Thursday at
the regular convocation periods.
The nominations are as follows:
President—F. S. Arant, C. B. Bur­goyne.
Vice-President—L. L. Aldridge,
J. B. Carter.
Secretary—O. T. Ivey, P. T. Ray.

Brent, Ala.; L. E. Myers, Jr., Mo­bile,
Ala.; H. G. McArthur, Slo-comb,
Ala.; C. T. Burkart, Hance-ville,
Ala.; and Miriam Curtis, Au­burn,
Ala.
Several distinguished guests were
present at the banquet on Monday
night. Dr. W. E. Bingham, secre­tary-
treasurer of the State. Board of
Pharmacy, responded to the Ad­dress
of Welcome, which was given
by the president of the Auburn
Pharmaceutical Society, C. T. Bur­kart.
Dr. L. C. Lewis, president of
the State Board of Pharmacy, gave
a talk telling of the work of the
State Board. Gerald Fowler, who
is a graduate of Auburn and is the
president of the Alabama Pharma­ceutical
Association gave an inter­esting
address.
Dr. L. S. Blake, who installed
the chapter of Rho Chi, served as
toastmaster and introduced the
Rev. Mr. N. B. McLeod, who gave
the invocation. Dr. B. B. Ross gave
a talk on The Pharmacists in Com­munity
Life. Following these talks
came the installation of Rho Chi
Honor Society. After it installation
Dr. Spright Dowell addressed the
group on "The Place of the Honor
Society in College Life."
No. 28
Prominent Auburn Benefactor
Makes Address at Upper
Classmen Convocation
Destinies of a nation are guided
by its teachers, Donald Comer of
Birmingham, declared April 2nd at
convocation for upper classmen in
Langdon Hall.
"Christian teachers in our
schools and colleges are needed
today as never before," Mr. Comer
sud. "Every individual':! influen­ce
counts for something, a- .1 we
can not always say how fsi reach­ing
it may be; but it is the teach
ers of a nation that guide its des­tiny.
If they be good, all is well.
If they be bad, all is not well. We,
therefore, want teachers in our
land with scientific tiaimi.g and
a knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is
possible to hava them because
science does not destroy Christian­ity.
On the contrary a man should [

New Record
be a better Christian by having
had scientific training.
"People attend colleges to secure
this training by learning how to
learn. Whether or not they accom­plish
what they should, depends
upon how much effort they put in­to
the work. You can't get love in­to
your lives if you don't give
some in return. Neither can you j
do great things without having in j
mind a definite purpose, and the ,
ability to. stick to it. If you would
succeed, stand for what you know
is right, 'keep on keeping on,' and
don't make excuses."
After the address, Dr. Spright
Dowell, having introduced the
speaker, escorted him to the drill
field, where, being joined by Maj­or
J. E. Hatch, they watched the
cadet etorps pass in review.
While we sit in the shade and
cuss classes in general and drill in
particular, little do we dream that
records are being made, for the
very thing that we despise to do,
right in our front yard. One of the
greatest pieces of long distance
walking that the South has ever
seen is being done right on our
own campus. (We hie ourselves
to Montgomery, Columbus and oth­er
distant places to see some world
famous player in action, yet we
pass blindly by the spot where one
of the South's greatest distance
teams are in action. Is it quite right
that we so disregard our home at­tractions?
See Auburn first! Let's
make that our slogan.
This team that is doing so well
in the village has escaped attention
mayhap because publicity is very
hard on their nerves. It ruins the
morale of the team. For this rea­son
the members do not brag of
their berth on the team. They do
not walk for personal glory, neither
for gain. They do it because in
their hearts they know that they
should. These men do not walk
around the campus with a large
"A" exposed to the whole world.
Their insignia is very small and
unobstructive. They are so unas-iiming
that a large number of them
do not wear any insignia at all.
The men on this team work all
the time. If you know what you
are looking for, you may see them
at work at all hours of the day and
night. Sunday is just the same as
any other day of the week to them;
they must keep digging«away. Some
of the men quit during the dances
and other exciting occasions but
the more faithful keep walking
away.
In one year or nine months this
team walked all the way around
the earth and 2,900 miles on the
next lap. You who have gotten
stuck in Opelika and have had to
walk the seven miles back to the
village may have some conception
of the distance covered by these
men. It is equal to 4,000 trips to
Opelika. This done in nine months
is equivalent to fifteen trips to Ope-like
each day. How much would
you like such a job? These men do
it every day right on our own cam­pus.
4
This is a highly technical subject
so I will give you some inside dope
on it. This team is composed of all
the Freshmen in school. Every
Freshman is eligible for the team,
in fact he is very forcefully urged
to go out for it. The team is com­posed
of 600 Freshmen. On an av­erage,
each Rat makes eight trips
to the college every day. Each
time that he walks around through
the Rat gate he travels 133 and
five eighths feet further than if
he went through the main gate. At
the end of the day his speedometer
registers 1069 feet extra. There
are 260 days in our school year.
Thirty of these days are holidays.
This leaves 230 actual school days
in which the Rat is forced to walk
around to his private entrance. At
the end of the year the sum total
of his additional walking has
reached 46.5 miles. There are 600
Freshman in school. If all their
unnecessary walking was placed
end to end, as the advertisements
Alabama Power Company
Entertains With
Boat Ride
During the week of March 29 to
April 4, seventy-five seniors from
the Engineering, Chemical and
General Courses, and six profes­sors
invaded the cities of Mont­gomery.
Birmingham and Sheffield
on their Annual Inspection Trip.
The purpose of the trip is to ac­quaint
the students with industrial
Alabama, to give them some con­ception
of the large industries of
the state and an idea of the re­sources
it has.
The group left Montgomery at
seven o'clock on Monday morning
for Verbena. At this point they
were met by Alabama Power Com­pany
officials and conducted in
trucks and cars to Mitchell Dam.
Several hours were spent inspect-in
the dam and power house. Near
noon the gang boarded a barge
propelled by a motor boat for a
trip up the river to Lock 12. The
trip was enjoyed very much and a
very appetizing dinner was served
by the A. P. Company on the boat.
At Lock 12, both the dam and
power house were inspected, after
which the party was taken to Clan-ton
on trucks to catch the L. & N.
train to Birmingham.
Tuesday was spent at the Tenn­essee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Com­pany's
plant at Ensley. Here the
process of making iron and steel
was seen as well as that of making
steel rails. The plant is equipped
with shops of all descriptions for
the maintenance of its working
parts.
The next day the T. C. I. Plant
at Westfield was inspected. This
differs from the Ensley plant in
that steel and iron are not made
here but are supplied from the Ens­ley
plant. This plant makes steel
sheets, girders, tie plates, railroad
cars, etc. The largest foundry in
the south is located here.
The American Steel and Wire Co.
was also visited on the same day.
The process of making wire and
weaving fencing was very interest­ing.
The plant also makes all types
of nails. A large nail was given
each person making the trip as a
souvenir. Secret processes are used
in this plant so one is very lucky
in getting permission to go through
it.
In the afternoon the group visit­ed
Moore-Handley Hardware Co.,
one of the largest wholesale Hard­ware
dealers in the South. They
have a five story building as well
as two warehouses for storing their
stock. The greatest part of the
ground floor is consumed flfc the
different department officials and
their helpers. All the buying is
done from this point and all orders
recorded. An idea of the office
force of a large company was ob­tained
here. Several Auburn men
are employed by the Moore-Hand­ley
Co. The Company gave each

read, it would reach all the way
around the world and back to the
village; not content,with this it
would start on another lap and get
2,900 miles before it finally gave
out. This may sound like a fish
tale but the cold hard figures are
in the Plainsman office if anyone
doubts them. BELIEVE IT OR
NOT.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL
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 ma y make special arrangements for
their articles. The office is in ro0m 4 under Langdon Hall.
«A" CLUB SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The "A" club is making an effort this year to raise a scholar­ship
fund for worthy athletes who could not come to Auburn other­wise.
A fund of this kind is a fine thing for any institution. The
"A" club is composed of men that have fought for Auburn and want
to see her continue to have the hardest, cleanest bunch of athletes
possible. In many cases good athletes may feel the pull of the old
Auburn spirit but this does not pay board and other expenses. If
there was a scholarship fund for such men, no doubt Auburn would
soon have a lot of good material that she would not have otherwise.
Auburn sticks, one hundred per cent, behind the rule of unpaid
players and intends to do so as long as the rule is in effect but they
need some means of inducement to good athletes with small finances.
The fund is needed and needed bad. It is up to the student body to
cooperate with the "A" club in putting it over. Be ready to do your
bit when the time comes. The minstrel and the drive will come on
lay the twenty-eighth.
The Plainsman wishes to take
this opportunity to express its ap­preciation
of the fine work done
by the Student Council this year.
We feel that this year has been the
critical one for Student Govern­ment
and that the present council
has conducted its affairs in such
a way as to make Student Govern­ment
a great factor for the good of
Auburn. It has in all cases shown
that it was true to the constitution
and the members, did their duty
without fear or favor.
The council, this year, is headed
by C. H. Turk of Greensboro, Ala.
Turk is one of the best known men
on the campus as evidenced by the
fact that he is President, of the Y.
M. C. A., letter man, and holds sev­eral
other distinctions. We feel
that a great deal of the success of
the council is due to his strong
leadership. He has discharged his
duties as a true Auburn gentleman.
The other members of the coun­cil
have acted together as a unit
and at all times realized the seri­ousness
of their position and acted
for the good of Auburn. These
men, who are more than worthy of
our praise, are: Senior Members:
A. L. Scott, Longview, Ala. W. T.
Savage, Montgomery, Ala., J. A.
Stripling, Montgomery, Ala. Jun­ior
Members: J. B. Carter, Athens
Ala., T. E. Phillips, Hogansville,
Ga., R. H. Elder, Buffalo, Ala.
Vox Populi
Sophomore Members: A. C. Carter,
Birmingham, Ala., J. A. English, Jr.,
Ensley, Ala. Freshman Member:
Burns, Dothan, Ala. Gregg and Hass-ler,
members during the first of
the term, also deserve the credit of
a true council member.
At the first of the term the Stu­dent
ouncil appointed a Social
Committee to have charge of the
dances. The committee, under the
leadership of L. CC-Pattlllo, has dis­charged
its duty in a most com­mendable
manner.
The president of the Council re­ports
that they have had one hun­dred
per. cent cooperation of this
committee in their efforts to make
the dances a success. We feel that
this cooperation is responsible for
the great improvement in the con­duct
at the dances this year. Their
task has been a huge one and they
have put it across in fine shape.
The other members are: C/ A.
Pruitt, C. D. Ebersole, J. C. Clem,
I Frank Russey, Simp Foy, C. B. Bur­goyne,
Booth, Welch and Pearson.
1 This is the second year of Stu­dent
Government. We believe that
it is a success. We hope that the
class of next year will elect men
that will do even greater things
than have been done this year but
no council will stand truer by
their convictions than the present
one. Auburn is truly proud of
them and their deeds.
Annual Ag. Banquet
to be April 17
THE RAILROAD SITUATION
Notice has been received from railroad authorities that Auburn
students have been destroying property and hampering trains. This
sounds like a mistake but nevertheless it is true. It is a most la­mentable
fact that^some Auburn students are really crooks or have
so little sense that they will not refrain from doing so dangerous a
thing. In one instant the light was taken off a switch. When the
engineer rounded the curve on one of the fast trains and found the
light gone from the switch, he naturally thought the switch was
open and it is a wonder that he did not jump from the train to avoid
being in a crash that would follow running into cars on a side
track. Other things of just as great seriousness have been reported by
the authorities. j
We don't feel that it will do any good, to appeal to the offenders
for we believe that if common sense hasn't told them to stop that
our telling will not do any good. If any of the sane students know
of any of these ignorant brutes it will be a fine thing for Auburn
(and for the thoughtless creatures), to warn them of the danger to
lives and property that they are causing. It must be stopped.
THE CAMPUS
In the springtime a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love. Seems that the writer of the above lines must have been med­itating
on our campus or on a similar one. It is really an inspira­tion
to walk across the campus now. It fills true Auburn men with
deeper thoughts of love for their Alma Mater as they see her so gaily
dressed. We are proud of our campus.
r VOX POPULI
The Plainsman has published several letters in the Vox Populi
(voice of the people) section for several weeks. We would like to
get more. If you have an idea that you would like to get over to the
student body and think it will help Auburn, send it in. We as per
agreement, will publish any letter on any subject (must be of pub-lishable
nature) if the writer will sign his name. The name will be
held if the writer requests it. The views expressed in this corner
are of course the views of the writer and not necessarily the views
of The Plainsman. All letters should be in by Tuesday night.
The editor resolves never to get off the job again as it seems rath­er
expensive to him in makes.
We have received several requests to run a picture taken on the
inspection trip.
It is with pleasure that I review
my experience with the class of '25
and with Auburn as a whole dur­ing
the year as editor of The Plains­man.
Nojhing has afforded me a
greater source of pleasure than this
opportunity to endeavor to serve
my Alma Mater and my class. It
has been my one endeavor-to make
The Plainsman the cleanest, livest,
and newsiest publication possible
and at all times to keep its policies
in harmony with the policies of
our great institution.
The success of the Plainsman for
this term I attribute to the coop­eration
of the staff, the class, and
the college. Not once has the staff
failed to make their contribution
with a good margin. The class has
in every way given help and en­couragement
to the staff. Coopera­tion
to the fullest extent has been
received from the College. Taking
things as a whole one could not
ask for better cooperation than I
have received this year.
I take this opportunity to express
my thanks to the class for their
confidence in me by allowing me
to serve it in this capacity and
for their unfailing cooperation.
Through my connection I have re­ceived
a truer vision of The Auburn
Spirit and a keener sense of loy­alty
to great old class of '25.
Loyally yours,
W. E. GLENN.

Since the author of the article in
last week's Vox Populi column of
the Plainsman makes the state­ment
that the article he is discuss­ing
is in no way "noteworthy as
an essay," it seems rather peculiar
that he should take enough of his
valuable time to write a column
and a half in criticism of one short
paragraph of the article. We must
admit that his article is an elo­quent
"line of bull," but it is made
up largely of false statement and
misquotations.
We must apologize to the readers
for the necessity of washing dirty
linen in public, but since the au­thor
of last week's article saw fit
to make a personal attack upon the
writers of the original article and
almost completely ignored the sub­ject
under consideration, we are
forced to lower ourselves to his
contemptible level by replying
likewise.
Our noble "editor of sorts" (as
he sees fit to call himself) makes
this statement: "the gentleman
signs himself a student—then pro­ceeds
to give himself the lie by
evincing in his illiterate remarks
a complete failure of study in the
matter." We leave it to the read­er
to judge as to the ilL"*«racy of
our remarks, lor that is Sot the
question; but he hands himself
the lie when he says we signed
ourselves "A Student." It is true
that we are registered in this in­stitution
as students; but we sent
our article to the Plainsman above
our own "John Hancocks," and the
editor of this paper saw fit to pub­lish
it «vith the signature "A Stu­dent"
under it.
The worthy gentleman accuses
us of making "a slanderous attack"
upon one of our "most popular
professors" (as he calls him), but
he seems to readily recognize, with­out
any names being called, a mod­el
to suit our descriptions. As to
the "slanderous attack," we made
no statement that cculd iiot be
proved as the truth. Perhaps his
"zeal in the defence of someone—
we know not who—Can be explain­ed
by the fact that he is closely
associated with the one in whom
he recognizes as the model of our
description. Nuf sed.
Another quotation from last
week's learned essayist: "The
writer frankly admits that the hon­or
system is dead since this pro­fessor
has killed it." Another false
statement, dear reader. Our arti­cle
merely stated that this type of
professor—speaking of professors
in general—had been one of the
many factors in the death of the
honor system. The carelessness of
the writer in drawing the wrong
inference in this instance, appears
monumental—or deliberate—in
view of the fact that he corectly
quotes our statement twice in his
article.
In closing, we regret that we can­not
refer to our article as "art,"
as our friend, the author, speaks
of his worthy effort. But, in or­der
to relieve the readers of this
paper of any further articles of
"art", or otherwise, we wish to
ask our worthy friend that any
further discussion of this subject
which he may wish to lliuuige in
with us, be in private and not in
the public press.

The Annual Agricultural Club
Banquet, the super festival for the
college year on the Auburn Cam­pus,
will be held in Smith Dining
Hall on April 17th, beginning at
7:30 o'clock and closing promptly
at 10:00.
Preparations are being made to
entertain 150 guests, consisting of
members of the club, other stu­dents,
the faculty and towns­people.
Congressman W. D. Boil­ing,
of LaFayette, representative
of the fifth Alabama Congres­sional
District in Washington,
has been secured as the principal
speaker. The Hon. W. D. Boiling
is considered as one of the strong
supporters of education in Alaba­ma,
and has always been a staunch
friend of Auburn. His stand for
Auburn in congress has won a place
of highest respect for him in the
hearts of many Auburn men.
According to official Toastmas-ter
W. H. Eaton, the entertainment
phase of the program will be the
feature of the evening. Though def­inite
plans have not been given
out by Professor Eaton and his en­tertainment
committee as yet, it is
rumored that they have several
hair raising numbers up their
sleeves. Professor Eaton says that
he expects numbers of the guests
will voluntarily pay the Ticket
Selling Committee an extra dollar
and fifty cents (the regular price
of a ticket) after the banquet is
over in appreciation of the unus­ually
good time enjoyed.
Dr. Dowell will be present and
will say a word of welcome to the
guests as President of the Institute.
Dr. Dowell is one of the Ag. Club's
strongest backers, and is always
ready to help.
Tom Jones orchestra, which is
fastly winning a lasting reputation
over Alabama, will furnish the mu­sic
for the occasion. Also ,t!j^ &$.-%
mous "Scrap Iron" quartette, com­posed
of members of the club, will
favor the guests with a selection.
Other musical numbers have not
been made public, but all who ex­pect
to be present are posted now
not to be surprised at anything
from a plantation negro with a
Jew's harp to close* Grand Opera
class.
L. M. Ware, president of Gamma
Sigma Delta, will award the Gam­ma
Sigma Delta Loving Cup to the
Best All-Round Junior in Agricul­ture
toward the end of the pro- -
gram. This has become an annual
number of the Ag. Club banquet,
and everyone looked on with much
suspense by the Junior class, since
the fortunate one to receive it does
not know it until his name is call­ed
at the banquet.
Dean M. J. Funchess will award
Ag. Club diplomas to those seniors
who have been especially profi­cient
in Ag. Club work. It is ru­mored
that fourteen men will be
honored with this diploma this
year, but as yet their names have
not been made public.
Representative of Edison
Company Visits Auburn
The engineering department was
favored this week with a visit by
Mr. Rickcord of the Brooklyn Ed­ison
Company, of New York.* Mr.
Rickcord is a member of the per­sonnel
department of the company.
While in Auburn he gave a very
interesting illustrated lecture and
interviewed a number of Seniors
with the intention of employment
for favorable applicants. Auburn is
aiways glad to have such men visit
the village.
Wilsonians Carry On
Forty-nine of the loyal Wilson-^
ian Literary Society members were '
present Tuesday evening to hear
a debate. The question was: Re­solved
: that congress should adopt
the twentieth amendment. The af­firmative
speakers were: J. B.
Stewart, and R. J. Perkle; .the neg­ative
J. E. Hydrick and"T.*t>. Kim-brough.
After retiring front the
room, the judges returned saying
that the ayes had it. i
Professor J. A. Kirkley gave a
short talk stressing the tryouts for
the future debating contest. In or­der
to get into the debating spirit
the society will have another one
next Tuesday evening.
Some very witty and entertain­ing
impromptu speeches were giv­en
by "Doc" Glenn, Fannie Igou,
and W. S .Heron.

AHUNDRED years before Napoleon was

Pipe was laid, in the reign of Louis XIV, to
supply water to the fountains of Versailles.
A report from the Director of the Water Serv­ice
says: "From their actual state of preserva­tion,
which is excellent, excepting the assembly
iron bolts* these eondtut»seem to be able to fur­nish
service for a very considerable time longer."
The high resistance, of this Cast Iron Pipe to
corrosion may be judged from the clearness of
the fine "parting line" produced by the old
horizontal method of casting.

Dormitories Hear
Campaign Speeches
Last Friday the two dormitories
had a treat in the form of two cam­paign
speeches from two of the
leading candidates for May Queen,
Messrs. (Mesdames) "Sox" Dixon
and "Katy" Elliott. The first of the
speeches was made in front of the
Boys' Dormitory. The candidates
and the enthusiastic crowd of sup­porters
adjourned to Smith Hall
where each of the candidates in
turn appealed to the vote of the
fairer sex. There was great en­thusiasm
shown on the part of all
that heard these two worthies.
The inhabitants of the boys' dor­mitory
were seated on the steps of
the dormitory discussing the can­didacy
of "Sox" and the newly an­nounced
candidacy of Shorty Gar-man.
Sox and Katy appeared on
the scene simultaneously. Both were
asked to speak. Katy spoke very
eloquently, but Sox was somewhat
bashful. Someone then suggested
that they speak to the accumulating
crowd on Smith Hall steps. Again
Katy spoke with as much force as
before and received much applause.
Sox then obtained the floor. At
first he showed the same symptoms
of timidity that had marked him
before; but suddenly he stood
straighter, and after looking over
the audience, he forgot nls fears
spoke with the tongue of a Demos-thenese.
When he had finished the
applause was prolonged. Long after
the speeches had closed the chorus
still rang: Sox, Sox, —Sox—Sox,
Sox, Sox Sox DIXON! ! !
Mr. Esslinger, S. P. Harrell, and
"Katy" himself. The club consid­ered
it a very unusual event to
have the beautiful "Katy" present
under such embarrassing circum­stances.
Chief among the many visitors
were Dean Funchess and Mr.
Brown, both of whom were called
upon for brief talks.

Lecture by Big Engineer
Noah Caton Bible
Class Program
This month is to be the "Come
To Sunday School" month and in
order to secure a better attendance
the Ca*on Bible Class is putting on
a series of special programs. These
were begun several weeks ago and
are giving satisfactory results. Last
Sunday, Prof. Garman gave a very
interesting talk on the relation of
engineering to religion and vice-versa.
Two weeks ago, Prof. Pow­ell
talked on "The Bible and
Science"; the preceding Sunday
Dean Petrie lectured on "Funda­mentalism
and Modernism." These
talks have been very instructive
and interesting and have attracted
large crowds. If you have not
heard these talks, you have been
the loser. We need you. You need
these messages. Why not come out
and get them?
On Easter Sunday, Prof. Robin­son
will speak on a very interesting
topic. Do not iniss it. All Presby­terians
and any others are cordially
invited.
Ag. Club News
The club turned out in "full
force" to enjoy the splendid pro­gram
of "April Fool" night.
L. L. ("Percy") Alldrich, the
first speaker of the evening, gave
some interesting points about the
potato farm of Mr. Rindge in Cali­fornia.
From the statistics fur­nished
by "Percy," one could read­ily
see that Mr. Rindge has quite
an immense "tater patch."
The largest and principal speak­er
on the program, Prof. J. M. Rob­inson,
gave a talk on the subject of
"Growth" in which he traced the
development of an individual dur­ing
a lifetime.
"The History of A. P. I." was
presented by Mr. B. E. Phillips.
The speaker compared the institu­tion
as it was in 1872 with its pres­ent
condition.
"Rat" Gregory sprung the joke
of the evening with his speech on
"Why is April Fool?"
"Rat" Gowder expressed his
opinion as to the proposed bare­foot
movement.
A few minutes of the meeting
were turned over to "Bulletin"
Pritchett for political purposes.

The Mechanical, Civil and Elec
trical Engineering Students enjoy­ed
a very interesting illustrated
lecture given by Mr. Orrok, Con­sulting
Engineer of the New York
Edison Company and author of
the Power Plants book used at Au­burn.
Mr. Orrok stated that the in­crease
of power used was due
chiefly to the development of cen­tral
station. At the present time
one eight horse power power-pro­ducing
device is used for each per­son
in the United States, in Eng­land
four and a half is used, in Ger­many
three and a half is used, and
on d.own to Russia, where one
tenth of a horse power is used for
each person. The first central sta­tion
to be built was the Pearl
street station in New York in 1881.
The Water side station of the New
York Edison Company, built in
1900 is one of the largest in the
country. At present it has four
35,000 kilowatt units and three
20,000 kilowatt units. The plant
uses six times the water supply
of New York city and burns
1,800,000 tons of coal per year.
The power plants in New York
have furnished power and current
since 1893 without interruption.
The slides showed the different
types of power plant construction
used in America and Europe. Mr.
Orrok stated that Edison's inven­tion
of the incandescent lamp was
one of the greatst inventions of the
world, as it gave the power engi­neers
a chance to do the world
a great service.

'T'HE co-ordination of commercial strength, arch- x itectural vision and engineering skill which
created this titanic quadruple office building repre­sents
the motive and creative force which has turned
the eyes of the world toward this type of American
architecture.
This, the largest office building in the wdrld, pos­sesses
fundamentally magnificent largeness in its
conception, and a clean-cut directness in its execu­tion
which place it among the most significant ot
American buildings.
With such existing structural achievements no arch­itectural
future is impossible, no project too vast
or too complex to come readily to our imagination.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering
skill and organization, will prove more than equal
to the demands of the architecture of the future.

CRANETILT THREE-VALVE. LIFTING-TYPE STEAM TRAP
WHAT IS A STEAM TRAP?
A successful steam trap should be a pas­sageway
for water and a barrier to steam. It
prevents the loss of any steam while it dis­poses
ofthe accumulated condensation from
pipe-lines and headers. Or drains receiv­ers,
drip pockets or steam using appliances.
It is automatic, performing its important
function without attention.
Steam traps ofthe right type, properly ar­ranged,
will return hot condensation directly
to the boilers as pure feed water. Conserv­ing
the "heat ofthe liquid" of this conden­sate,
they effect large fuel economies.They
are the most economical devices on the
market for boiler feeding. Steam traps can
also be used to draw condensation from
low pressures or vacuums, discharging
directly into a higher pressure, and meter­ing
the discharge if desired.
Cranetilt tramps perform these and similar
functions in many important power plants,
in chemical plants, paper mills and oil re­fineries.
Theiroperationis fully described
in a Crane publication entitled "Condensa­tion."
We will be glad to send a copy to
any engineering student who writes for it.

ALUMNI NEWS
Mrs. Claire Weaver Livingston.
Auburn's noble sons have gone
forth to all parts of the world and
won fame. The fair daughters of
Auburn can and are making them­selves
a credit to their Alma Mater.
Mrs. Clare Weaver Livingston is
taking the lead. Mrs. Livingston
is an alumnus of 1923. She won
highest distinction. For her grad­uate
work she registered in chem­istry
and research. The research
was carried on under Professor
Salmon of the department of ani­mal
husbandry in advanced nutri­tion.
The March number of the Jour­nal
of Home Economics carries a
writeup of the research done by
Mrs. Livingston. Before an article
is published in the Journal of Home
Economics it is passed on* by lead­ing
research people. This is the
first'article of research on foods
or any other phase written by an
Alabama woman from an Alabama
institution and published in a
national journal.
The research work done by Mrs.
Livingston and Professor Salmon
determined the vitamin A and B
content of the pecan nut. No re­search
on Vitamin A in pecans had
been published before and very lit­tle
on Vitamin B.
For Vitamin A white rats four
weeks old were caged individually
and fed once a day.
The basal ration consisted of
starch, casein, agar, salts, and
dried yeast. After feeding this
diet six weeks, the rats lost weight.
Macerated pecan kernel was sub­stituted
for an equal amount of
starch. There was an immediate
response to the addition of twenty
to forty percent of pecan kernels
to the basal ration. After four or
five weeks of rapid growth on the
pecan ration, some of the rats fail­ed
to gain but maintained their
weight. The addition of butter or
codliver oil did not show any
marked change which indicated
that the failure to gain weight was
not due to lack of fat-soluble vi­tamins.
The tests for Vitamin B were
carried out on rats and pigeons.
This test showed that the minimum
daily dose of pecan needed to pre­vent
pigeons against the onset of
polyneuritis is seventeen to twenty
percent of the weight of the bird.
Rats fed on the basal ration were
able to to maintain their, weight.
An addition of sixty percent pecan
did not maintain normal growth.
The field of research in Home
Economics is most limited. The
Purnell Bill, which was recently
passed, will provide funds for re­search
work in home management,
feeding children, care of children,
home equipment, human nutrition
and food preservation.

Bobby i Locke led- his array of
cinder path artists in a decisive
defeat of the Hilltoppers of Bir­mingham
Southern when the team
from the Plains scored 106 points
while the Birmingham lads were
gathering 20. In no event was a
wearer of the "A" outstepped,
which is a very gratifying fact
when one thinks of the second
place entries which must be in­cluded
in this statement.
The individual scoring honors
go to the "old faithful" of the
squad, Duke Marquis, who has nev­er
yet failed to place in a meet for
the Orange and Blue. He was
closely pushed for this honor how­ever
by Weems Baskin, his brother
hurdler. Baskin barely nosed Mar­quis
out in the 220 low hurdles,
while Baskin was right on Duke's
heels when he won the 120 highs.
Marquis, Beeves, and Greene each
took two first places. Duke placed
first in both the high hurddles and
the high jump, while Jerry Beeves,
Auburn's great miler, took first
place in both the one mile and the
half mile and Greene captured
firsts in the 100 yard dash and the
broad jump*
"Bobby" Locke, captain of the
team and great pole vaulter who
holds the Southern Collegiate rec­ord,
cleared the bar at the dizzy
height of 12 feet. Bobby tried to
better his record by doing twelve
feet nine inches, but barely scrap­ed
the horizontal bar. His nearest
competitor was eliminated when he
failed" to negotiate the nine foot
mark.

Speaking Of Sports
j A very busy week is in store for
Tiger athletes,^ both Varsity and
Freshmen. Of course the games
that are attracting the most atten­tion
are the pair of contests be-
- tween the Varsity and Illinois at
Montgomery this week end.
It is expected that the Capitol
City will experience a slight in­crease
in population over the week­end.
For those who are unable to
make the Illini games, for financial
and other reasons, there will be
two corking games right in our
own Bowl. We refer to the tilts
between the Tech and Tiger Bats.
The Frosh seem to have a great
iteam this year, but their first test
will come this week end. It is to
be hoped that the fans will turn
out en masse for this event for

to hearten up the Freshmen
and put the old Tiger pep into
them.
And while the baseballers, Var­sity
and Frosh, are cavorting
around in Cramton Bowl and Au­burn
Stadium, the tracksters will
slip quietly up to Atlanta and
take on Georgia Tech in what
promises to be their hardest meet
of the season.

TIGERS DROP TWO TO BULLDOGS
Failure to Hit in Pinch Costs Plainsmen a Pair.
Georgians Present Strong Aggregation
The Georgia Bulldog drew first
blod8 in the local series by cap­turing
the initial tilt with the Tig­er,
five to two. Austin on the hill
for the locals allowed only five hits,
but these were all bunched when
hits meant runs. The Tigers also
connected five times, but their wal­lops
were not so well concentrat­ed.
The Georgians^won the game in
the first round, when three men
found their way around the circuit.
Middlebrook, the first to face Aus­tin,
was pinked in the slats. Sat-lof
grounded out but Richardson
rapped out a single to left. Jelly
Self fumbled the sphere long enough
for Middlebrook to cross the plate
and Satlof to gain second. Thomp­son
then sent one into deep left for
the circuit, Satlof preceding him
across the plate. Moore rolled out
and Frain whiffed.
The Tigers came back in their
half of the first and put over two.
Tulley threw over four wild ones
and Stewart? ambled to first. Allen
came up with orders to sacrifice.
JThe speedy Tiger shortstop hit a
teasing one between the Georgia
batterymen and beat the throw to
first: Wallis singled to center and
Stewart tallied. Griffin sent up a
sacrifice fly to Frain and Allen
scored after the catch. Market
forced Wallis at second and Steen
in turn forced Market, ending fur­ther
Tiger scoring.
The Bulldogs scored again in
the third/when Middlebrook re-"
cetved a walk, went to second on
Satlof's sacrifice and scored on
Richardson's single to center. A
double killing, Austin to Allen to
Wallis, then emptied the sacks and
ended the inning.
The final Georgia counter went
over in the fifth stanza. Tulley
reached first on Stewart's error.
Middlebrook sent him on to second
with a sacrifice. The Georgia box-man
then rode home on Bichard-son's
third hit of the day, a dou­ble
over the dump in right field
After the first inning Tulley and
Austin each permitted but three
hits. Fast fielding robbed both
sides of extra base wallops when
several long drives-were gathered
in by opposing gardeners. Richard­son,
the scintillating Georgia short-smith,
turned in a good perform­ance,
bagging three hits out of four
trips to the plate and driving in
three Bulldog tallies besides field­ing
faultlessly. "Rough Ed" Allen
also gave a good account of him­self
by Bis stickwork and fielding.

some consistent hitting the tables
might have been turned.
However the Tigers should not
be held strictly to account for lack
of hitting power as the Bulldog
fielders surely committed some
barefaced robberies. Several times
the Plainsmen would clout <4ut hef­ty
ones that nobody had.a right to
catch, and then some Georgian
would stick up his glove and the
ball would land there—and stay.

SECOND GAME
The Athenian Bulldog continued
his Alabama invasion with a good­ly
portion of the bacon, having
bumped his Tiger rival for the
second consecutive time when Sat­urday's
tilt went his way by a lone
tally, three to two.
The affair developed into one of
the prettiest pitcher's duels seen on
the plains for many a moon. The
Tigers outhit their rivals but Mun­day,
the Georgia moundsman, kept
the blows pretty well distributed
except in the fourth when a quar­tet
of smacks netted two Tiger tal­lies.
Dogface Sheridan twirled his
first full game on the home lot
since the '23 season and turned in
a good enough performance to win
an ordinary ball game. Eight Ti­ger
runners were left stranded on
the sacks, their mates being unable
to produce the necessary bingles to
send them on their way. Great
fielding on the part of the Athen­ians
robbed the Plainsmen of sev­eral
sure wallops.
The start of the contest was dfi-

Tiger Football Star Drops
In for Brief Visit
Mr. John Barleycorn Shirey, one
of the greatest backfield men ever
to don a Tiger uniform, stopped
over in the Village last week end
long enough to see the Tigers and
Bulldogs hook up in baseball. John,
being a teacher, went to the A. E.
A. meeting in Mobile last week, and,
as Auburn is in line with Cullman
and Mobile, it is. not hard to guess
the rest.
Fdr the past year Shirey has
been teaching and coaching at
Cullman, but for the coming sea­son
he has accepted an attractive
offer from Howard Payne College,
of Brownwood, Texas. An acquaint­anceship
made on the field of battle
will be renewed when Shirey goes
to Howard Payne,, for he is going
to help out "Dad" Amis, old Tech
star. With a pair of mentors like
this, the Texans should be due for
a successful season.
ILLINI INVAUES
THE SOUTHLAND
— Y
Meets Auburn Friday and
y Saturday
(Special to the Plainsman)
Urbana, Illinois, April 16, 1925.—
Coach Carl Lundgren is making
ready to select the Illinois baseball
squad which will leave April 3 for
the annual Southern tour through
Mississippi and Alabama.
"Lundy" has only five veterans
and has lost his captain by scho­lastic
difficulties, but, nevertheless,
it is believed the team shapes up
now to do better than the 1924 out­fit
which placed fourth in the con­ference.
Captain Simonich, first base and
catcher; Kinderman, pitcher and
outfield; Margolis and Paxton, out­field;
and Jestes, second and short,
are the old men. Kinderman is
the most reliable box man right
now, although he is being pressed
by Hoffman and O'Shaughnessey,
sophomore twirlers, and Barta. The
catching job is being cared for by
Godeke and Erickson, but Simonich
can take this post if needed. Worth
looks best at third, and Jerry Jor­dan
at short. Jestes or Foulk
should take care of second in fine
shape. Burnet is understudying
them at present, but may prove a
dangerous rival.
There seems to be plenty of out­fielders,
but they can't hit. Mar­golis
and Paxton are the standbys,
and Kinderman or Olson may work
when not in the box. Woodson,
Majors and Stahl also look good.
The best fielders are poor hitters,
but the second string men can wal­lop
the pill. Illinois' all-around
defense will be strong, and if "Lun­dy"
can develop an offense, the Il­lini
should stir things up.
Illinois meets Mississippi April
4; then Mississippi A. and M., Ala­bama,
Alabama Polytechnic and
Cincinnati are met in order in the
ten-day trip. Iowa opens the Big
Ten season at Illinois on April 10.
RODENTS CAPTURE
PAIR
Sidney Lanier and Marion
Victims in Opening Games
Last Thursday the Auburn Fresh­man
Nine journeyed over to Mont­gomery
where they met the Sidney
Lanier Poets in a rather one sided
contest the rats romping to the tune
of fourteen to seven. While this
was the first game of the season
for the locals they displayed pleas­ing
tendency to Bwat the well
known pill hard and often, al­though
there are still a few rough
edges to be smoothed off the field­ing
department. The pitching staff
seems to be exceptionally strong
with Woods, a former Jasper hur-ler,
its ace. The infield, though
allowing a few bounders to es­cape
them, appears to be well
rounded in both hitting and field­ing
ability. In the outer gardens
lies most of the uncertainity and it
is probable that several shifts will
have to be made before the hard­er
games.
The Poets hopped away to an
early lead when the Montgomery
lads touched McLeod's offerings in
a lively fashion. Owing to the Um­pire's
inability to see the corners
of the pologon-shaped base it was
necessary to put them straight
down the groove. As a result of
this blindness on the part of the
worthy arbitrator six runs were
registered in the initial frame be­fore
the side could be retired. Pot­ter
was sent in in the second frame
to stem the tide and nobly accomp­lished
his mission, holding the high
school swatters to four hits and
one run throughout the remaining
innings.
Marion Institute next fell vic­tim
to the savage attack of the Ben­gal
Babes. Led by "Cush" Wood,
the Walker County Chunker, who
had the Cadets at his mercy
throughout the entire contest, the
Rodents gave an exhibition of ball
playing that would bring forth
praise from the most exacting crit­ic.
The hitting of Hitchcock and
Sankey was also a feature of the
one sided affray. Hitchcock, the
slugging third sacker who perform- -
ed so well with Troy Normal in the
past, socked out four hits in his
five trips to the plate while the lat­ter,
who has cavorted around the
shortfield in a Walker County uni­form,
drove out two hits and a
long sacrifice in his four chances.
These two swatsmiths will make it
i
hard going for any pitcher the ene­my
happens to send in against
them.
The student body will be given
an opportunity to see the conquer-ers
in action when they lock in
mortal combat with the Junior Jac­kets
from Tech. The cry of the
Freshman lass is "Venegeance is
ours." In Edwards, a pitcher and
"Red" Hamilton, a shortstop, the
Tech Rats have two dangerous men.
Little is known of the enemy's
strength except that they split two
games with the Petrel Rats of Ogle­thorpe.
Be sure to get your rain
checks when you buy your tickets.

"David Garrick" to
be Taken on Road
The Auburn Players are making
great strides in the awakening of a
greater interest in dramatics and in
the advertising of the organization.
Plans have been completed for
the road trip with "David Garrick."
The Players leave the "fairest vil­lage"
Monday, April 13, for Mont­gomery,
Selma, Montevallo, Ensley
and Sylacauga. They are taking
their scenery with them. The trip
will be watched with much inter­est
by all those who saw the pro­duction
last fall. Everyone wishes
them much success. Members of
the cast making the trip are: Da­vid
Wright, Sudie Dowdell, Robert
Learly, Red Roberts, BUI Wall, Ag­nes
Ingram, Alma Bentley, Phil
Tippin, and F. E. Bertram. Others
making the trip are: Prof. R. J.
Jones, the director, and L. P. White,
the stage manager.
The *<Lute of Jade" which was
presented in the Attic Theatre last
Monday night week, will go to Sel­ma
just as soon as "David Garrick"
returns. It is to go to Selma at the
request of the author, Mrs. Rob-bins,
who is a resident of Selma,
and who saw the production in
the Attic Theatre.
On Tuesday, April 7, the Auburn
Players will present "The Bears,"
a one act play by Tchekoff before
the Auburn chapter of the D. A.
R. Emily Hare and Alberta Proc­tor
will take part in this produc­tion.
Websterian Literary
Contest Big Success
Tuesday night, March, 31 the
Websterians featured one of its
best programs. Miss Cary, Miss
Hughes, and Mr. Ivey must be
commended for putting this pro­gram
over in such great style.
After winning this program con­test,
these along with the. other
members of their side will have the
pleasure of sitting back enjoying
the program to be put on by the los­ers
at the Banquet.
Tuesday night, April 7, the so­ciety
met at its usual meeting hall.
Mr. Clyde Hendrix acted as Pres.
Miss Crawley gave the Bible read­ing.
Mr. George Kernodle gave a
brief sketch of Kipling's writings.
He also gave two interesting read­ings,
"The Vampire," and the poem
"Mandalay." Miss Mary Stodghill
read some of Kipling's best poems
which were enjoyed by all.
Business was then taken up. Pro­fessor
Kirkley made a talk to the
society on the debating contest. A
brief discussion of the Banquet, was
brought to a close by setting the
date of the banquet for April 28.
The results of the basketball game
between the literary societies were
given. Mr. Slaughter must be com­mended
for piloting the Webster­ians
to victory over the Wilsonians.
The line-up was: Slaughter and
Martin, forwards; Cook, center; Al-stin
and Stevens, guards. Substi­tutes:
Small for Martin. All are
looking for a hot contest between
the fast Websterians and the flashy
Freshmen, which will decide the
literary champions.
Wirt Literary Society
The Wirt held, its regular meet­ing
in the usual place last Tues­day
evening. After roll call and the
minutes of the previous meeting, a
very stormy and more or less hu­morous
business session followed.
Prof. Kirkley then told us of the
method of procedure for the Inter-
Society Debate which will occur
in a few weeks.
The program for the evening was
a debate: Resolved, that the Japan­ese
should be excluded. The affir­mative
was upheld by Messrs.
Hooper and Whitfield. The nega­tive*
was defended by Messrs. Mc-
Lendon and Davis. Due to Davis'
absence, Smith debated for the neg­ative.
All four speakers were ex­cellent.
After much deliberation
and discussion the judges decided
in favor of the affirmative.
"A" Club Minstrel
The big event is coming soon.
Watch for details. Be saving the
change for a good show and to help
Auburn. Talent is wanted for the
minstrel. Anyone having experi­ence
in blackface acts or familiar
with specialty acts meet in Lang-don
Hall after the first show Mon­day
night.
Epworth League Social
On next Friday night a real
springtime social will be held by
the Epworth League on the Ag.
Campus. Everybody is promised a
good time upon attendance. Lea­guers
are urged to stroll to the so­cial
about seven-thirty.

into a two-ply killing, Munday to
Richardson to Thompson. Strong
connected with one, a single over
third, but Dogface fanned.
The Georgians got Sheridan into
hot water in the eighth, three hits,
a miscue by Rough Ed Allen, and
a fielder's choice enabled five men
to gain life on the paths. Two of
these met death at the plate but a
third succeeded in getting over
safely with a run that put the Bull­dogs
out in front and eventually
won the battle for them.
"Seoh" Stewart, the Sylacauga
baby, emerged from his batting
slump when he connected safely
with the pill on two occasions. A
beautiful catch of his liner by
Richardson robbed him of a blow
in the sixth, while Satlof made a
more brilliant stop at second and
again the Tiger third sacker was
deprived of a hit.
Arnowitz, the diminutive right
gardner from the Cracker State,
/tore across the turf on numerous
occasions to pull the agate from
the sky and robbed the Tiger bats­men
of an addition to the swatting
column.

for- several years.
Thursday was spent in visiting
the Birmingham Electric Company
and Acipco. The Birmingham Elec­tric
Company supplies heat to a
large portion of the business sec­tion
of the city as well as power
for the street railways and energy
for lighting purposes. Acipco is
The American Cast Iron Pipe Co.
as its name indicates. They make
cast iron pipes of all sizes and
shapes. An unusual feature of this
company is that it is owned by the
employees. They select their own
directors and secure all profits.
Many things have been done for the
comfort of the workmen. Reading
rooms, cafes and a hospital are
maintained for them. The com­pany
were hosts at dinner for the
the inspectors. A talk by the pres­ident
of the company was enjoyed.
Thursday evening the gang sep­arated,
some of them remaining in
Birmingham and others going to
Sheffield. Those remaining in Bir-minham
visited several other plants,
of interest on Friday. The others
inspected Wilson Dam, U. S. Ni­trate
Plant No. 2 and U. S. Steam
Plant at Muscle Shoals on Friday.
The entire trip proved interest­ing
as well as very instructive to
all and in spite of the vast amount
of walking required in covering so
much ground everyone enjoyed it
very much.
The officials of each company
were very kind to us furnishing
guides who explained to us the va­rious
steps of the plants.
The inspection trip will be used
as a basis for a report for the Sen­ior
Thesis.
