Horse Show Here Sunday
13 EVENTS ARE GIVEN
Many E n t e r e d Show F r om Out­s
i d e Auburn; Loudspeakers
Used To Announce Results
The largest crowd to ever witness
Auburn's annual horse show packed
the Military Department's horse show
ring Sunday for the 14th renewal. The
stands were full long before the show
got underway at 2 o'clock and others
used all available space around the
outside of the ring.
Thirteen events were dispensed with
during the afternoon, and the per­formances
in each drew equal ap­plause.
Through the use of a loud
speaker system with Captain Harry
Watts doing the announcing, the de
tails and results of each class were
announced to the crowd. This enabled
all to better enjoy the show.
Entries outside of Auburn came
from Albertville, Montgomery, La
Fayette, Opelika and Selma. These
riders entered their horses in the three
and five gaited classes.
W. S. Hewitt, of Albertville, gave
an interesting exhibition in the fine
harness class with Denmark King.
Private Theodore Lingefelt on Mae
West and Private Roe Faust on Boots
gave an exhibition of jumping with­out
saddle or bridle. Both of these
riders were winners in the Pinehurst
Horse Show which was held last week.
Twenty-four Field Artillery sopho­mores
tried for honors in the first
class of the afternoon, and after
showing their horses at a walk, trot,
gallop, turns and backing, the judges
awarded first place to David Cox. J.

Burial Services For
Mrs. Swope Are Held
Funeral for Mrs. Addie Swope, 57,
whose death occurred early Friday
evening in an automobile accident,
was held here Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock from the home of her sister,
Miss Annie Heard. Interment was
made at the Auburn Cemetery.
The accident, which resulted in her
almost instant death, occurred on the
outskirts of Auburn on the Auburn-
Opelika highway.
Officiating at the funeral was Dr.
James R. Edwards, Baptist Minister,
with C. R. Summers, of Opelika, in
charge.
Mrs. Swope was killed almost in­stantly
about 6 o'clock last Friday
afternoon on the Auburn-Opelika
highway. Her son, Arthur, who was
driving the car and two daughters,
Miss Frances and Louise Swope, and
Bob Lanier, an Auburn student of
Langdale, and a companion who were
in the other car suffered minor in­juries.
State Highway Patrolmen Bob Slay
and Clanton Chandler investigated
the accident. They reported that the
accident occurred about one-half mile
from Auburn on the Opelika highway.
Arthur Swope was driving behind a
truck which suddenly slowed down;
as he swerved to pass the truck so
as to avoid striking it, the Swope
car ran ahead on into the car driven
by Lanier, who was coming from the
opposite direction.
An investigation showed that Mrs.
Swope evidently tried to leap from
the car as it swirled. She suffered
a broken neck and a fractured skull.
The deceased is survived by three
sons, John, Arthur and Robert, of
Auburn; two daughters, Frances and
Louise; two brothers, Fletcher Heard,
Atlanta, and Arthur Heard, Birming­ham;
and three sisters, Miss Annie
Heard, Mrs. E. P. McDonald, Au­burn,
and Mrs. C. M. Floyd, Birming­ham.
Pallbearers were C. A. Jones, W.
V. Jones, John Williamson, J. C.
Grimes, B. G. Avery, and W. D.
Martin.
AUBURN OBSERVES MEMORIAL
DAY AT EXERCISES TUESDAY
Fourteen hundred Auburn cadets
stood in long straight lines on Bul-lard
Field Tuesday morning to honor
the South's heroic dead as Mrs. L.
M. Bashinsky, of Troy, delivered the
annual Memorial Day address.
They then marched in review as
the speaker, college officials, and
prominent members of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy looked
on.
In final tribute to the 600,000 south­erners
who took part in the War Be­tween
the States, Mrs. Bashinsky said
that their lives and example should
be "an ever silent challenge to bring
to the service of our country and gen­eration
a higher measure of respon­sibility
and a deeper, truer concep­tion
of duty."
In sketching the objectives of the
UDC the speaker stated that they
were memorial, benevolent, historical,
educational, and social. "Our monu­ments
may be found in practically
every city and village, on the national
battlefields, and in the national cem­etery
For 37 years we have
striven to secure unbiased histories of
the War Between the States
We have given thousands of boys and
girls the opportunity of higher edu­cation.
This year alone we are aid­ing
141 boys and girls to obtain an
education, including three at Auburn.
. . . During the World War we main­tained
42 beds in an American hos­pital
at a cost of $70,000," she added.
Master of ceremonies for the occa­sion
was Mrs. B. B. Ross, prominent
UDC leader. Mrs. Herman D. Jones,
president of the Alabama UDC di­vision,
introduced Mrs. Bashinsky, and
Judge F. C. Dillard, distinguished
Auburn alumnus with the Class of
1875 and resident of Sherman, Tex.,
was presented to the Corps of cadets
by Mrs. Ross.
Memorial Day has been observed in
Auburn since 1866.
ACCIDCNT
Drives Car Smack Into A
S w a rm Of Bees; Escapes
With Nary A Sting
Something unusual in highway col
lisions!
E. G. Fitzgerald, popular represen­tative
of the Alabama Engraving Co.,
Birmingham, drove his car smack into
a swarm of bees early Tuesday after­noon
a few miles out from Tuskegee
while enroute to Auburn.
Some two dozen of the insects flew
inside his car and some six or seven
of the treacherous insects found cover
in his sleeve. "You bet I stopped,"
said Mr. Fitzgerald. "Who wouldn't?"
And believe it or not, Mr. Fitz­gerald
says that he received not a
single sting but that his windshield
was veritably covered with honey as
a result of the impact with the swirl­ing
ribbon of insects.

PLANS ARE GIVEN
FOR ANNUAL CAMP
AT FORT BENNING
Four Army Officers From H e re
Will Be On Duty At Camp
Which Opens On June 7th
Many Students Hear
Talk By Contractor
Speaking before a representative
group of Auburn engineers Monday
night in Broun Auditorium, Mr. Al­gernon
Blair, nationally known con­tractor
of Montgomery, frankly dis­cussed
the problems that the young
graduate may expect to face in the
present civilization.
"We can't .live to ourselves," Mr.
Blair stated; "we've got to be inter­ested
in our fellow-man. Achievement
can be realized however, only after a
period of original work. The founda­tion
of happiness lies in one's chosen
life work. Without success in this,
achievement in other phases of life can
not come. Success in our chosen life
work is the prerequisite to all."
Mr. Blair further stated that the
tragedies of everyday life, caused by
overlooking these facts, are compar­able
to the tragedies of war.
This meeting was the last that the
F. E. S. will sponsor this year; how­ever,
the A. I. E. S. will sponsor a
demonstration of the new General
Electric Vapor Lamps next Monday
night in Broun Auditorium. Every­one
is invited to attend.
The date for the beginning of the
annual R. O. T. C. camp for junior
cadets has been officially set for June
7 to continue for a period of six weeks
at Ft. Benning, Ga.
Four army officers from Auburn
will be in charge. They are Captains
T. L. Futch, J. L. McKinnon, W. J.
Klepinger, and K. L. Johnson.
According to Capt. Johnson, the stu­dents
will take a three-day march
sometime during the latter part of
the camp period. This march will
be conducted exactly as is done in
the regular army with all units par­ticipating.
Two-thirds of the cadets in camp
will be from Auburn with the re­mainder
from Florida, Alabama, and
Tennessee. Students will arrive in
camp not later than 10 o'clock on
the morning of the 7th. The remain­der
of the day will be taken up in
registration, physical examinations,
and the issuance of all necessary
equipment.
As was the case last year, the first
week of the camp period will prob­ably
include mostly demonstrations
by the several branches of the army
at the Fort. After this the cadets
will spend the major part of a week
on the firing range, followed by sev­eral
weeks of mounted drill for the
artillery and range practice for the
engineers. The three-day hike usu­ally
comes toward the latter part of
the period.
Various means of entertainment
will be provided the campers during
their six-weeks training. The camp
offers ample facilities for such sports
as baseball, boxing, swimming, and
many others. The afternoons are usu­ally
set aside for recreation.
TIGER POLOISTS
LEAVE HERE ON
NORTHERN TRIP
Mallet Swingers Leave This
Morning For Tour To Last
About Two Weeks In North
MEET STRONG OPPOSITION
Trip Marks Second Time Team
Has Invaded North For Tilts
With Three College Teams
Capt. W. J. Klepinger and eight of
his mallet swingers left early this
morning for their intersectional polo
contests in the northland with Mis­souri,
Illinois and Ohio State. The
Tigers have won four intersectional
combats at Auburn in as many college
matches this season.
Auburn will meet Missouri in Co­lumbia
on May 2 and 4, Illinois on
May 5, and Ohio State in Columbus
on May 7. The Tigers defeated Illi­nois
twice at Auburn this year, 13-5
and 12-6, and also trimmed Missouri
twice on the local field, 13-5 and 10-1.
A two-game series with Ohio State
was rained out.
Capt. Klepinger, coach of Auburn's
riders, took the following men on the
trip: Capt. Boardman Ivey, Tom Ba­con,
Bob Chandler, Bill Dexter, Paul
Hicks, Marshall Brawner, Robert Bur­ton,
and George Hardie.
This is the second successive year
that Auburn has invaded the north for
a series of polo games. Capt. Tom
Gunby, last year's coach who is now
stationed at Ft. Reilly, Kansas, made
the first trip up north last year with
his poloists, meeting Missouri and
Illinois.
A two-goal lead obtained in the
fourth chukker enabled Auburn's polo­ists
to defeat the Governor's Horse
Guards from Atlanta here last Satur­day,
9-7. The teams were tied 4-4 at
intermission and every period was
closely contested.
Tom Bacon, Auburn's offensive ace,
led his team to victory with five goals.
However, Bill Dexter, who plays back,
was the scintillarit for. the Tigers and
played exceptionally well against the
Horse Guards. Capt. Boardman Ivey
and Bob Chandler also turned in fine
performances for the Tigers. Bill
Smith was the leading factor for the
Horse Guards scoring four goals.
Eleven Are Chosen
By Textile
Group
Eleven sophomores were tapped to
Phi Psi, national honorary textile fra­ternity,
last Monday night. The new­ly
elected pledges are Jimmy Dough-tie,
Carl Whitman, Lewis Thomas,
Hugh Owen, George McClutcheon,
Red Hines, W. O. Bozeman, E. G.
Jones, Charlie Schaeffer, William
Langley, and A. R. Sylvester.
Formal initiation of these new men
will take place Saturday night, May
9. Also at this time Prof. E. W. Camp,
head professor of the School of Tex­tile
Engineering, will be inducted into
the fraternity as an honorary member.
The new officers of Phi Psi, also
selected last Monday, are Jim Mann,
president; Joe Bohannon, vice-presi­dent;
Shorty Williams, secretary; Bill
Bradford, treasurer; and Bill Cand­ler,
senior warden.
Last Of Glomeratas
Will Be Distributed
Glomeratas will be given out to stu­dents
for one more week ending Wed­nesday,
May 6. Distribution of the
yearbooks will be made from the
Glomerata office during the follow­ing
hours:
Wednesday—8 to 11 and 1 to 5;
Thursday—8 to 11; Friday—1 to 3;
Monday—1 to 3; and Tuesday—8 to
11 and 1 to 3.
Sharpshooters Plan
Free-For-All Match
All members of the ROTC rifle
team are requested to report to the
range tomorrow (Thursday) at 7 p.
m. There will be a free-for-all rifle
competition, 20 shots standing and 20
shots prone at 95 yards. Entrance
fee, 25 cents. Officers for next year
will be elected at this time, and all
members of the team are urged to
turn out.
Debaters Will Bring
To Close Successful
Year Thursday Night
By LEWIS THOMAS
Last night the Auburn varsity de­baters
met a team from Sewanee in
a non-decision debate. With the ex­ception
of freshman and varsity con­tests
w i t h Birmingham - Southern
Thursday afternoon and night, the de­bating
season is officially ended here
Evidence that Auburn is departing
from the technical school type in favor
of that of the university is clearly
shown in the increased activities of
the local debate group. A larger ap­propriation
has made it possible for
the scheduling of many debates here­tofore
impossible. This year the Au­burn
debaters have engaged in intra­mural,
inter-collegiate, and interna­tional
competition all with an amaz­ing
degree of success considering the
small part that public speech has
held in campus activities in past years.
In the intra-mural debates, two
tournaments were held, one for fresh­men
and one for varsity men, with a
total of 24 students participating.
Cup winners in the varsity tourna­ment
were George Hairston and David
Cox; for the freshmen Edwin God-bold
and Billy McGehee.
In the intercollegiate contests three
major questions of national policy
were debated. The Auburn debaters
made creditable showings in each of
the three tournaments which, together
with the individual contests, included
over 40 different debates. The Auburn
team during the course of the year
won over 50 per cent of all decision
debates.
Commenting on the past season,
Prof. E. D. Hess, debate coach, said:
"This year has been very successful
in debating from an educational stand­point
and we have been most success­ful
in all contests participated in
Next year we should be even better."

AS AUBURN ROUTS
PANTHER RUNNERS
HutselPs Track Team Rings Up
Twelve First P l a c e s Out Of
F o u r t e e n To Beat Southern
Auburn Baseballers To Play Troy
Teachers In Two Games This Week
Auburn's baseball team defeated the
Lanier nine yesterday afternoon 6 to
2 on the loser's diamond. John Paul
Tipper hurled five innings of the game
and allowed only one hit. Mutt Mor­ris
traveled the remaining four in­nings.
Joe Stewart hit a home run, Mal­colm
McDonald drove in two runs
with a triple and a double, and Mon­roe
Hayes hit a triple to account for
Auburn's heavy hitting. Bruce Tay­lor
secured the most hits of the after­noon
by getting three singles in five
trips to the plate. Billy Hitchcock's
fielding was a feature of the game.
Coach Morgan takes his charges to
the campus of the Troy Teachers Col­lege
tomorrow for a return series
with the teachers on Thursday and
Friday afternoons. Auburn defeated
Troy here early in the season in a
two-game series.
Poor handling of the willow caused
the Auburn Tigers to bow down before
the Birmingham-Southern baseballers
3-0 last Saturday after having defeat­ed
the Panthers 11-4 on the previous
day.
Southern got its first tally early in
the first inning when McKay got to
first on balls and was driven home as
Lowery laced out a clean single.
Buddy Braly, Southern hurler, turn­ed
in a fine performance on Saturday
as he yielded but four hits, fanned
six, and walked two. The Tigers could
do little against him except in the
seventh frame when they started a
slight rally which died as Captain Gil­bert
McMillan f lied out to center with
the bases loaded.
Opportunity again knocked for the
Plainsmen in the eighth when Collins
Fenton bingled and Cy Lowery,
Panther shortstop, erred, but no hits
materialized so the side was retired
still scoreless.
Tipper, Bengal moundsman, was re­lieved
in the sixth canto by Alternate-
Captain Mutt Morris after he had
fanned six, walked two, and yielded
five hits. Morris pitched one-hit ball
for the remainder of the contest and
whiffed four.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's track and
field team rang up twelve first places
out of a possible fourteen last Satur­day
to swamp the Birmingham-South­ern
tracksters, 87-25.
Joe Bob Mitchell, who is just start­ing
on his track career, was high
scorer for the day as he registered 11
points. He was closely trailed by
Sanford Enslen, Panther, ace, who
garnered ten points after changing
his baseball uniform for track togs.
Enslen just nosed out Mitchell in the
100 and 220 yard dashes to capture
the only firsts for Southern. Mitchell
retaliated, however, as he emerged
victorious in the broad jump with a
leap of 20 feet, 6 1-2 inches.
Wilton Kilgore showed excellent
form as he won first honors in the
880-yard run—his initial try in the
event. Previous to this, Kilgore has
been a consistent winner in the 440
yard dash, but judging from the form
he exhibited Saturday it would not
be surprising if he were to continue
to pace the furlong.
The feature of the afternoon was
Bobbie Blake's 188 feet, two inch toss
with the javelin. This is Blake's third
season with the Tiger track squad
and he has shown great improvement
each year.
Hugh Rodgers, burly tackle on the
football team, made the best showing
of his track career as he put the shot
42 feet, 6 1-4 inches. Bill Ellis, Bill
Emrey, and Ed Powers turned in out­standing
performances as they won
the 440, mile, and two mile, respec-
(Continued on page 4)
The question of whether or not caps
and gowns will be worn for the grad­uation
parade this year will be defin­itely
settled by the senior class some­time
next week when a vote by ballot
will be taken at the Student Center.
Feeling that the decision at the sen­ior
convocation last week was not rep­resentative
of the class as a whole, a
petition was circulated yesterday in
which it was asked that another vote
be taken. This petition will be given
to the president of the Executive Cabi­net
today, and that body will deter­mine
the exact date for the vote which
will be announced in the Friday issue
of the Plainsman.
Of the 300 or more members of the
senior class, barely one third were
present at the convocation last week.
It is felt by those backing the move
for caps and gowns that this number
is not representative of the class as
a whole and that there might be some
difference in the outcome if another
vote is taken at which the entire class
participates.
In the balloting next week only sen­iors
who will graduate this spring will
be allowed to vote.
In the near future Burton's Book­store
will feature in one of their win­dows
a display of white caps and
gowns. It is planned that black col­lars
will be worn by boys and white
collars by co-eds. The remainder of
the outfit will be white for both mem­bers
of the class.
It was learned yesterday that the
graduation exercises will be extended
over Sunday and Monday, May 24 and
25, as was previously announced.
Members of the senior class voted in
favor of having the graduation com­pleted
by Sunday evening. But as all
arrangements had been made and the
speaker selected, it was held by the
college authorities that this change
could not be made on so short a notice.
Dr. Guy E. Snavely, president of
Birmingham-Southern College will de­liver
the baccalaureate address Mon­day
morning at 10 o'clock. Degrees
will be awarded by Dr. L. N. Duncan.
The question of caps and gowns is
being debated with heated student fer­vor
this week on the streets of Au­burn,
on the campus, and in fraternity
houses. The group favoring the
change is led by the senior class presi­dent,
John O. Bush, of Mobile; while
the opposition is headed by Philip P.

Auburn Cubs Defeat
Lanier Poets Friday
Auburn's freshman baseball club de­feated
the Sidney Lanier Poets, 3-1,
last Friday afternoon in Cramton
Bowl. The game was featured by
the hurling of Swindle for the Tiger
Cubs and Kilgrow for the Poets.
Coach Ralph Jordan's proteges scor­ed
all of. their runs early in the game,
two in the second inning and one in
the third, while Lanier scored their
lone tally in the seventh on Massey's
double.
The batteries for Auburn were
Swindle and Thomas; for Lanier, Kil­grow
and Brown.
Engineering Students
To Hear Cruse Friday
Mr. Andrew W. Cruse, chief of the
Electrical Division of the United
States Department of Commerce, will
be in Auburn May 1 and will speak
to all engineering students at 11
o'clock that morning in Broun Hall
Auditorium.
Mr. Cruse attended Carnegie Insti­tute
of Technology for two years, re­ceived
appointment to the U. S. Naval
Academy, and was graduated in 1922.
Later he did post graduate work in
the Torpedo School, Chemical War­fare,
Submarine School, and Optical
School.
From 1924 to 1927 he was connected
with the Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania, and in 1927 he was as­sociated
with the International Tele­phone
and Telegraph Corporation of
New York in charge of arrangements
of the inauguration of telephone ser­vice
between Cuba and Mexico and
between Mexico and Canada. Today
Mr. Cruse is regarded as an authority
on the subject of television.
All engineering students are in­vited
to hear his talk next Friday.

Clean-Up Week
According to numerous signs distributed
throughout town, this week has been set
aside as Clean-up Week. Judging by the
way trash and rubbish has been collecting
in the town during the past year or so, it
is no wonder that somebody long before
this has not thought of a Clean-up Week.
We are heartily in favor of the movement
and have only one suggestion to make. At
the rate some of the merchants are carry­ing
out the agreements of the week, it will
be at least a month or more before any­thing
much will be accomplished. So we
suggest that the Girl Scouts, or whoever
it is, change the week to a month.
It has been such a long time since any­thing
like this has been carried out in Au­burn,
it will take the citizens some time to
catch on. But just mention the subject
and then give them a little time to look
around. A month should be sufficient. The
sloppy condition of the business section has
been that way for such a long time that
most everybody has come to take it for
granted.
We have long aimed to bring this mat­ter
before the attention of the townspeople
of Auburn, but have put it aside from time
to time hoping that something would be
done.
The town of Auburn is just as much of
Auburn as the college. At numerous times
during the year the college is host to dif­ferent
groups such as the glee clubs and
high school dramatic teams. Many have
long heard of Auburn and have often want­ed
to come here. First impressions are
those most lasting. Sometimes we are in­clined
to wonder what first-impressions
some of those have in their minds who have
come to Auburn for the first time. In fact,
it is sometimes quite embarrassing to show
a first visitor the town proper of Auburn.
It looks very much like a windstorm had
blown all the trash for miles around into
the city and left it there. And there it
remains until another wind kindly blows it
away again. ,
Future War Vets
Some may laugh and some may turn up
their snouts, but personally we are glad to
see such an organization formed as the
Veterans of Future Wars. Our only re­gret
is that something like this wasn't
started several years ago when it might
have accomplished more good. At last col­lege
students have aroused themselves
enough to take an active interest in a mat­ter
that directly concerns them, probably
not today but simetime—that of war.
Since its beginning several months ago
the organization has grown into one of
monsterous proportions. It has probably
aroused more interest and more comment
than its founders ever realized. The Vet­erans
of Future WaTs has ceased to be
merely an idea and is now a reality.
The bare facts that the American Legion
scoffs at the idea is proof enough that the
organization is doing some good. Not long
ago the Veteran's lobby very neatly suc­ceeded
in jamming through Congress the
necessary legislation to release approximate­ly
two billion dollars in negotiable currency.
A large number now receiving aid from
the soldier's bonus don't know whether
France is to the East or West and care
less, never left American soil, and further­more
they are holding down good positions.
At the same time they suck the government
for all they can get.
There are those, of course, who really
fought and risked their lives, and they are
due whatever consideration the government
might have to offer. But we know too
many cases of those who did nothing, never
will do anything, yet who are receiving aid
from the already overtaxed citizens.
Ridicule, if properly handled, is the most
effective weapon that can possibly be used
to combat such groups as the organized
Veterans in Washington. The future war
vets have as much to stand upon as the
others in demanding what they ask. Let
the future war vets continue as far as they
will. It may well serve to dampen those
groups, veterans and otherwise^ who think
they can get what they ask for simply for
the asking plus a little pressure and soft
soap.
Many of the older folks can't seem to
get the notion out of their heads that the
college student is nothing more than a
babe in swaddling clothes, somebody who
thinks of nothing but " hat cha" and "Rah
Rah." It is good that college students are
beginning to show that they, as future citi­zens,
will from now on take more interest
in affairs that concern them. Politicians
are afraid of this. Henceforth the politi­cian
will have to deal with another ele­ment—
the college student, he who will not
be set aside with hairbrained schemes and
promises but who will demand that the
government govern for the people rather
than for organized lobbyists with plenty
of money to spend.
On Cutting Classes
Much has been written from time to time
by both students and educators on the sub­ject
of cutting classes. Any many more will
continue to write about the same thing in
the future. Much of that which has been
said on the question is in condemnation of
the student who exercises his privilege to
attend or fail to attend classes, at his own
discretion.
Since The Plainsman is primarly a ve­hicle
of expression of student opinion, we
are inclined to take the undergraduate's
viewpoint on this matter. As it has often
been said, the law is best which governs
least, and in like manner if education must
be forced, it can not be the best education.
If a professor can really put his subject
before the student in an interesting man­ner,
if his personality is such that the stu­dent
will not go to sleep in his class, then
the class will not be cut to any great ex­tent.
On the other hand, if the instructor
is pedantic, over-scholarly sort of 'a person,
if he teaches by precept rather than by ex­perience,
if he insists on dry facts pre­sented
in a dry manner, then who can ex­pect
the poor student to sit still for an
hour and.listen to him?

Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
Being a freshman (beg pardon—"rat"),
it will occur to some of you seniors that I
am jumping the gun. Races have been won
by high tensioned men; even records have
been broken. Old established customs could
be dispensed with by this same type of per­son;
particularly customs that appear to
be a drawback.
Why is it that some of you seniors are
so blamed set against wearing caps and
gowns for what should be the most impor­tant
occasion in your lives? At least it
will be for a majority of you. Some of
you will see greater and more important
moments in your lives, but I hardly believe
it will be the type of person who has been
using such impertinent and unfounded re­marks
in opposition to the proposed change
in graduation apparel.
This happens to be a higher institute of
learning, although it is only informal Au­burn,
which should mean something to you.
Think of the years you had to spend in
school before being presented with this
privilege. It is a privilege even though
some Of you are giving the impression that
you think otherwise. Of course you paid
for your education, but who doesn't pay
for the best in life?
It isn't every member of the senior class
who can buy a new suit or dress for the
occasion, hence why not make the exercises
uniform? Nothing can accomplish this bet­ter
than caps and gowns. As to the color,
that doesn't make a great deal of difference.
To me, grey would be more indicative of
the prestige this institution has acquired.
You are not the only ones involved in
an occasion of this type. The entire state
of Alabama has its eyes focused upon this
annual event. If a scene is to be made, why
not make an impressive one? Most of you
graduated from high school in caps and
gowns; surely Auburn has not instilled in
you the abominable principle of retrogres­sion.
More than likely the method will be
changed before the class of '39 graduates;
if not, we are going to prove to you that
former "rats" have acquired a little initia­tive
and a few ideals in their four years
of fellowship spent in study and play at
Auburn.

If you are one of those who has per­fected
the trick of lying, sluggard-like,
abed until only a mad gulp and a gallop
will bring you to your first hour class on
time—take refuge in history.
The inclination to wait for "one more
minute" and to arrive in class in a frawsy
state, is very old among students, declare
historians of Princeton University. They
have found an old diary of a junior of
1786, who had to rise at five instead of
seven or eight.
And so that proctors need not credit the
claim that "I didn't hear the alarm clock"
the "college servant" always knocked on
the door in addition. Typical entry by
the junior: "Hear the knocking and fall
asleep again. Don't wake till second bell
done, get up in great hurry—go into Hall
unbuttoned, not time to light candle nor
unrake fire, near being tardy."

While on this subject, may we introduce
Dr. A. J. Williams, professor of geology

classes every day. He likes it. The reason
he gives is even more degrading and dan­gerous
than the practice—he does it because
he wants to get in an extra hour's work
each day!

Guinea Pigs And Counterfeits
By C. W. BELL
Before discussing rouge and related pro­ducts,
which is the class of cosmetics now
up for discussion, I would like to reply to
an anonymous letter received by me with
the signature of "A Friend." The writer
of this letter does not agree with me that
the low-priced face powders are as good as
the higher-priced ones; my friend says, "The
better grade powders do contain poisons,
chemicals, and disagreeable ingredients
harmful to the face, but THEY ARE PRE­PARED
MORE CLEANLY AND PURE."
In answer to this I might say that if they
are prepared more cleanly and pure how can
they contain poisons, chemicals and other
harmful ingredients which are certainly im­purities?
My friend made mention of the
fact that she (or he) knew of a man in a
neighboring town who made face powder in
his garage, selling it even wholesale, and
that it certainly couldn't possibly be as
clean as that made at the factories. I do
not doubt this case but there are exceptions
to all rules. Why go to a neighboring town?
I know of a man in this town that makes
face powder for sale, but it is of the highest
grade of purity and made under very asep­tic
conditions; it is of a much purer form
than some of your high-priced powders and
most important of all, the ingredients in it
are known. We do agree on one thing, "It's
all a farce, but there are few things now­adays
that aren't."
Quoting another paragraph of this same
letter, "I imagine if the male used cosmetics
he would discontinue their use after learn­ing
these facts. But! next time you start
to shave, wash your hands, or tonic your
hair; put these products in the place of cos­metics
and find yourself doing what you
warned others against." In the first place
I haven't advised anyone or warned anyone
against shaving, or washing hands, or ton-icing
hair. In the second place, I haven't
advised against the use of all cosmetics,
but only those of a detrimental nature.
The woman today who refrains from
using cosmetics is conspicuous, and there is
no doubt that the modern business woman
to maintain her place in the business and
social world has need of certain cosmetics.
In this series of articles I have attempted
to stress this fact and point out certain
harmful products that should not be used
under any circumstances. The hazard to
health in the use of certain types of cos­metics
is a real and practical one and. must
be taken into consideration by every per­son
(male or female) who uses them, un­less,
of course, he or she wishes to spend the
balance of (his or) her life in paying doc­tors'
and hospital bills. Cosmetics were
overlooked in the first Food and Drug Act,
passed in 1906, therefore, besides the health
regulations of a few cities and states in
the matter of certain minor products, the
cosmetic consumer has no protection what­soever.
The need for being cautious in the
use of cosmetics does not obligate one to
give up the use of ALL cosmetics.
I again repeat that too often, pretty bot­tles
and boxes are what the woman pays
for when she buys expensive cosmetics. The
next time you are tempted by a gorgeous
blue and silver box of face powder at $3.00,
remember that it is much easier on the
pocket book and just as safe to visit the
glassware department and buy the container
separately, and purchase the less expensive
brand of powder.
In reply to my friend, I will again say
that I am not leveling any wholesale in­dictment
against cosmetics. I uphold the
right of every woman to make herself up
as attractive as possible and there can be
no denying that cosmetics may help ma­terially—
when properly applied and used.
Although cosmetics generally contain some
harmful, poisonous or undesirable sub­stances,
nobody should lie down under such
a blow. My friend, raise the family chin,
take out your flat red compact, powder
your nose with your favorite gypsy tan and
I am sure you will feel much better. Thanks
for the criticism.
Now for lipsticks: regardless of how men
feel about it, this class of cosmetics is one
of the most widely used in our modern
world. Principally lipsticks are a com­bination
of waxes and fats. They are of
some value in lubricating the lips and in
the prevention of chapping. Aniline dyes
are used in most shades and it is by this
ingredient that the majority of harmful ef­fects
are produced. Serious conditions may
be produced by the absorption of the ani­line
dye, but little is really known about
the action of this dye on the body other
than that the serious effects may be pro­duced.
The "kiss-proof" or indelible lip-sticks
are usually the most dangerous for
bromo acid dye is used in making the color
for this particular type. Besides the lead
or other undesirable metals that may be
used in this type of lipstick, it has a ten­dency
to dry the skin.
Quoting from Skin Deep", "The brands
which were tested for Consumers' Research
in 1934 and found to be free of metals and,
it is believed, of other undesirable sub­stances
with the exception of aniline dye,
are Tangee, Phantom Red, Outdoor Girl,
Angelus Rouge Incarnat, Ybry, and Tattoo
Natural. Kissproof was found to contain
barium in comparatively large amounts.
Tattoo Coral and Max Factor's lipstick
showed the presence of some barium, but
in small quantities."
Rouge also contains aniline dyes and is
very similar to lipstick in every way, par­ticularly
the paste rouges. The usual for­mulae
of dry cake rouge include talc, zinc
oxide, precipitated chalk, starch, color and
some adhesive agent. The process for mak­ing
is so messy that most cosmetic houses
obtain it from private label houses and sell
it under their own brand names. Women
of today are much better off with rouge
containing coal-tar products than the women
of former ages when the coloring matter
was chiefly red oxide of iron or red lead,
both of which are very poisonous.
"Consumers' Research had a number of
popular brands examined for orris root,
rice powder, and dangerous metals such as
barium and lead. The rouges tested, Car­rot,
Coty's, Houbigant's, Kissproof, Max
Factor's, Outdoor Girl, Pompeian Bloom,
Princess Pat, Three Flowers, Ybry, were
entirely free from any and all of these un­desirable
ingredients and are believed to
be entirely safe to use. All with the ex­ception
of Houbigant, however, were found
to contain coal-tar dyes." (From page 52-
53 of Phillip's Skin Deep.).

CELLARS HAVE FRECKLES
HE THOUGHT he would step up to
her room and ask her to marry him,
and so he did.
At her "Come In" he found her playing
solitaire, and dressed in what most any
woman would dress in at 1:00 a. m.
"It's You." without dropping the king.
"So it is. I have come to ask you to
marry me. You know how it is: One gets
tired of restaurant cooking; one sees one
with nice shape, sensible eyes, and red
hair; one gets an idea, and one asks some­one
to marry him."
"Have a cigarette?"
"You smoke atrocious cigarettes. Fur­thermore
I detest seeing a woman smoke.
You will have to stop if you think you are
going to marry me."
"I don't like you; that is the main rea­son
I forgot being high school sweethearts
with you and went to Hollywood."
"Because you disliked me you went to
Hollywood; lost yourself in your work, and
became one of the best known actresses in
pictures."
"The best known."
"I hate boasting women. I don't think
I will want to marry you after all."
"Nice. Do you see just where in hell I
can play this diamond jack?"
"No you don't. If I come over there you
will want to hold my hand, and we aren't
married yet."
"One doesn't marry pigs and scenario
writers."
"I hate myself for the thought. But you
know how it is. It seems to be an old
American custom for American men to
want to get tied down to some foolish wo­man;
get drunk on Saturday night, and
fight with her and the kids in a greasy
kitchen."
"Let's fight in the cellar, then I can
play like you're an umpire at a baseball
game and bean you with a wine bottle."
"Oh, so you're going to marry me?"
"Well, it's something to do."
"Can you cook? or does one, when mak­ing
three hundred thousand a year, forget
how to cook?"
"I used to cook fudge for you when you
were making fifteen a week in a grocery
store, didn't I?"
"You were a freckled face brat."
"Do dogs still bark at you?"
"Play the queen there; you like to gab
too much just like all women."
"If I hadn't just washed my hands I'd
pop you for that crack."
"Quiet. Listen, my little buttercup, I
have one of those things here, a marriage
license, you know, 'tis very pretty; want
to see it?"
"So you thought I'd be silly enough to
marry you?"
"You are silly."
"What made you think I love you?"
"Oh, so you've got to love someone to
marry them? Love me?"
"I simply adore you!"
"I have indigestion, too."
"It's 1:00 a. m.; you're not a minister
and I'm not a minister, and it's raining.
"Well, all right then, what say we call
it off?"
"Fine, what happened to that queen of
clubs? However, on second thought I'm
kind of cold all by myself."
"Well, all right, if you insist. I sup­pose
I could dash down and buy a hot
water bottle for you, but I do need some­one
to cook for me. Put your coat on."
They were in'his roadster, he two feet to
the left of the gear shift and she two feet
to the right .On the way to the minister's
address they turned a corner and found
two men holding up a third man at the
point of a cannon. They stopped.
Hanging out, she called: "Get in, or I'll
take that gun and beat the eyes out of
both of you. Witnesses," she said to him.
"Cheeze," rang out in the rain, "it's that
Myrna Cordonado, the acting dame; take
your ten back buddy and let's go; I'd go to
San Quienten with that moll, any day."
At the address he went around to open
her door for her. She stood on the run­ning
board just a minute looking in his
eyes. He took a step forward, and she
was in his arms.
"Johnny, Dearest, Dearest," she sniffed
in his coat collar, "I love you so very ter­ribly
much."
"I'd dig ditches for you darling," he
choked, trying to kiss each and every
freckle.
"Say what is dis?" the gunman asked.
"Shut up," they'both yelled.
"Johnny, Dearest, you do love me, don't
you?"
"Quiet woman and get up those steps;
you always did want to talk too much."
"Pig!"

Montgomery Paper's Political
Writer Believes Legislature
Will Not Meet Until Fall
No meeting of the Legislature in
time to provide relief for Auburn be­fore
next year is likely, according to
Atticus Mullin, political writer for
the Montgomery Advertiser.
Rumors have been that several leg-islators
predict that the Government
will call a session in July but noth­ing
they could do then would have any
effect on the school problem.
In Mullin's opinion it would do Gov.
Graves and the schools little good to
call the Legislature together again
this summer. Since the anti-adminis­tration
forces left the last session in
the saddle they will probably remain
there until such necessities arise and
the people will call upon the Legisla­ture
to act. That time will probably
not arise this summer and then taxes
will begin to come in this fall and
relieve the situation until February.
Then the schools will begin closing
again.
Mullins predicts that when Gover-

given the movement for better
homes in America provisions of the
Federal Housing Act. She empha­sized
the fact that better, more "live­able"
homes constitute one of the most
important factors in the improvement

a regular income, and 20 per cent of
the amount he wants to spend can
obtain a loan for the above purpose
through the_FHA, he said.

Visitor Here Sunday
One of the oldest and most dis­tinguished
graduates of Auburn—
Judge F. C. Dillard, of Sherman, Tex­as—
was a visitor in Auburn Sunday.
Judge Dillard, who is 81 years of age,
graduated at Auburn in 1875, three
years after its establishment as a
Land-Grant College.
The mounting years have not caus­ed
Judge Dillard. to abandon his pro­fession
of law; he goes to the office
daily, he says. He and Mrs. Dillard
are on a motor trip to Alabama and
other States and will return to Texas
this week.
The Judge brought news of another
senior alumnus of Auburn, Dr. E. W.
Solomon, of Trinidad, Texas. Dr.
Solomon is now an active Methodist
minister at the age of 85. A check
of alumni records reveals the fact
that Dr. Solomon is Auburn's oldest
living graduate, receiving his degree
in 1872 with the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute's first graduating class.
Dr. Solomon attended the Alumni
Day activities at Auburn four years
ago.
While'in Auburn, Judge Dillard was
a house guest of Mrs. B. B. Ross.

ELEVEN MEMBERS
FROM RIFLE TEAM
AWARDED LETTERS
(Continued from page 1)
to W. W. Brunson, Blakely, Ga. He
was the consistent leader throughout
the entire season.
The retiring officers of this year's
team are N. G. Bradford, captain,
and J. E. Moyer, Jr., executive of­ficer.
Both were leaders in the team's
work this season, and Moyer shot one
of the high scores of the last week
of the season after just returning
from the hospital where he had under­gone
an operation for appendicitis.
The officers for next year's team have
not yet been elected.
The results of the season were 18
postal matches won and 22 lost. Of
the special matches shot, Auburn was
well toward the top. They are the
Southeastern Conference Shoulder-to-
Shoulder Champions as the result of
the five team match held here earlier
in the season.
Third place was rated in the Fourth
Corps Area Match. In the W. R.
Hearst Trophy Match in which R. 0.
T. C. teams over the entire nation
participate, Auburn ranked eighth.
Captain Bradford announced that a
cup given by The Birmingham Post
to the team has been obtained. It
will have the names of the five high
members of each year engraved on it.
Eta Kappa Nil Holds
Tapping Ceremonies
Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu held
its formal tapping ceremonies at the
F. E. S. meeting in Broun Auditorium
last Monday night. The following
juniors were presented by President
Hamilton Callen: Herman Gauggel,
R. H. Wood, Glenn H. Plumlee, H. B.
Eiland, R. G. Johnson, and Joseph
Zwinakis.
In the past it has been the cus­tom
of Eta Kappa Nu to present the
new men at a dance; but it is felt
that' the newly adopted method will
cause them to be recognized by a
closer related group.
Another change brought about is
the presentation of "The Electrical
Engineering Handbook" instead of a
loving cup to the highest ranking
electrical engineering freshman of the
previous yeaT. This award will be
made after the opening of school next
fall.

Gilchrist, Courtland, president of the
Interfraternity Council. There "is a
strong block of antis on Vet Hill.
Those in favor say caps and gowns,
rather than street clothes as worn
in years past, will give added color
to the commencementd exercises an
make a more pleasing spectacle for
parents, alumni, and friends who jour­ney
to Auburn at that time. Such
arguments, however, do not impress
the opposition. They say such a
change is unnecessary, that it is too
expensive to rent the paraphenalia,
that it breaks one of Auburn's oldest
traditions, and that it even borders
on feminity.

• If you want to be sure that
Sanitone cleaning is better clean­ing,
make this simple test:
Send part of one of your suits
to us for Sanitoning and send
the rest to be cleaned by the
ordinary method. When both
have been returned; compare
them. You will find that the
Sanitoned garments are cleaner,
fresher, have brighter color. The
finish of the garment will look
newer and all traces of odor will
have been removed.
Then you will realize, as do
so many others in this city,
that it is real economy to buy
