P. T. A. TO GIVE
BENEFIT DANCE
AUBURN LOSES
TO DEBATERS
ROM FLORIDA
Auburn debaters locked horns with
the debaters representing the Uni­versity
of Florida here last night.
The verdict was rendered in favor
of the Florida debaters, who repres­ented
the negative side of the ques­tion,
.which was, Resolved: "That
Congress Should Adopt a System of
Uniform Marriage and Divorce
Laws."
The judges were: Judge Walter
B. Jones, Honorable John K. Wat-kins
and Honorable Clarance M.
Dannelly.
The Auburn debaters were: M. D.
Johnson, of Bessemer, member- of
the senior class in secondary educa­tion
; J. M. Earnest, of Auburn, mem­ber
of the junior class in mechanical
engineering.
The Florida debaters were: Silas
M. Creech, secretary of the debating
council, and leader in many other
student activities; Claude Sparkman,
major in R.O.T.C, and a member of
the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.
Several hundred students were at
Langdon Hall to hear the modern
Demosthenes' orate and keen interest
was manifested throughout the de­bate.
The. speeches were featured
by streams of oratory and flowery
expressions. This debate was the
second annual encounter between the
University of Florida and Auburn,
each time the University of Florida
emerging victors.
In addition to the students hearing
the debaters, it was broadcasted by
the local radio station WAPI. Not
one minute did interest in the de­bate
wane, although each man was
allowed 25 minutes for his construc­tive
speech and rebuttal.

Dr. Charles M. Strong, head of
tire Economics Department, will con­duct
a Dixie Tourist Trip in the
principal countries of Europe and
England this summer. The object
of the tour is to accommodate south­ern
students and teachers and to ac­quaint
them with the many things
of educational value in the countries
visited.
The tourist ship will sail from New
York, J line 5 and return to New
York two months later. The itiner­ary
will cover approximately ten
thousand miles of travel and sight
seeing.
Seven countries will be visited,
beginning with France and including
Italy, Switzerland, Garmany, Hol­land,
Belgium, and England. The
principal cities and points of interest
in each country will be visited.
The minimum cost for the entire
trip will be about $630. This in­cludes
boat and railroad transporta­tion,
entrances to museums, tips, mo­tor
bus rides to places visited and
hotel bill.
The ocean voyage will be made on
the Steamship Lancastra, of the Cu-nard
Line. This ship is one of the
new English steamers.
Dr. Strong has had considerable
experience as tourist and conductor
of tours in Europe. He has engaged
in newspaper and publicity work in
Cuba and Mexico, and was exchange
professor to Chile from the Univer­sity
of Washington 1917-18, and was
for a number of years a member of
the faculty of Boston University both
in Havana and in the home of the

NSPECTORS OF
R. 0 . T. C. UNIT
HERE NEXT WEEK
United States officers from Wash­ington,
D. C, of the war inspection
board, who are inspecting selected
colleges throughout the United States
will be in Auburn Thursday and
Friday, March 25 and 26 for the
purpose of inspecting the R. O. T.
C. unit here. The result of this in­spection
will determine whether or
not Auburn will make Distinguished
College again this year.^.
Auburn has been rated in the dis­tinguished
college class for the past
five years. The Citadel college, of
jouth Carolina ,is the only college
in the South leading Auburn in the
number of successive distinctions.
Auburn is the leading non-military
college in the South.
Judging from the fine showing
made by the R. O. T. C. unit as a
whole, the present year, it is be­lieved
that. Auburn will make distin­guished
college for the sixth suc­cessive
time.
ENGINEERS TO
HAVE ANNUAL
HIKE IN APRIL
Event To Be Sponsored
Local Chapter of
S. A. M. E.
By
Soon the merry tramp, tramp,
tramp of many feet will be heard
ringing through the streets of The
Village. An investigation will dis­close
a long column of cadets march­ing
briskly away from *the old Main
Building and winding its way out
into the great open spaces. A close
observer will readily descern that
the lads in olive drab with packs on
their backs and rifles on their should­ers
are none other than the members
of the Engineer R. O. T. C. Unit
gaily bound on their annual Engineer
Hike.
The Hike, which proved so remark­ably
successful! last spring, was as­sured
for this year when the local
chapter of the Society of American
Military Engineers decided to spon­sor
.the affair. For the last few
weeks the meetings of the S. A. M. El"
have in part been devoted to discuss­ing
and formulating plans for the
Hike. While all details have not yet
been arranged, April 17 has been set
as a tentative date and Mitchell's
Mill, last year's camp site, has been
chosen as tenting ground. A com­mittee
consisting of Alston, Craw-

Auburn alumni ana faculty mem­bers
of the college are pleased with
the appointment of Cyrus W. Ash-craft,
of Florence, Alabama, as a
member of the board of trustees of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Mr. Ashcraft succeeds the late Char­les
M. Sherrod, whose death occured
last Friday at St. Vincent's Hospi­tal
in Birmingham.
The appointment of Mr. Ash­craft
was announced last Sunday af­ternoon
by G6vemor Brandon. It
seems to be the concensus of opin­ion
of the alumni, faculty members,
and friends of Auburn that 'a better
man could not have been selected for
the place. The opinion has been ex­pressed
that this appointment is one
of the most acceptable of the gov­ernor's
entire administration.
Charles M. Sherrod, whose 'place
Mr. Ashcraft takes, was a man of
wide information as well as good
common sense, and he has been a
faithful man irTthe discharge of his
duties as trustee of the college for
the last fifteen years. Judge Sher­rod
was a member of the class of
1881. He was appointed as member
of the board of trustees of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute by Gov­ernor
O'Neal in February 1911, and
has served in this position since un­til
his death last Friday following a
minor operation. <
Mr. Ashcraft is a very influential
man of wide and varied experiendfe
who ranks high in the estimation of
the people of Alabama and friends
of the college. " He has been a suc­cessful
business man, journalist, and
legislator since his graduation from
Auburn with the class of 1888.

200 Colleges Have Journalism Courses
Schools and courses of journalism are now established in more
than 200 colleges and universities in the United States. A large
number of the leading institutions of the country such as Columbia
and the University of Missouri, maintain regular journalism schools,
granting degrees in the profession of journalism.
On report of a committee composed of E. S. Beck, of the Chicago
Tribune, and James T. Williams, Jr., of the Boston Transcript, re­solution
was adopted last year by the American Society of News­paper
Editors advocating a complete course at a university school
of journalism leading to a degree, or a summer school of journalism
maintained by recognized institution of learning and supplementing
the regular college course, the ultimate goal being the development
of schools of journalism into graduate schools.

COMMANDER OF
LEVIATHAN IS
C0NV0 SPEAKER
Herbert Hartley, captain- .of the
great American liner, Leviathian,
narrated a graphic story of the op­eration
of his great liner to the stu­dent
body and faculty members at
convocation recently.
Captain Hartley is visiting in the
home of his wife's relatives in Ope­lika.
He was introduced to the Au­burn
students by Dr. George Petrie,
dean of the graduate schcool.
Captain Hartley outlined in detail
many interesting facts concerning
the size of the Leviathian. He also
described in the "language of the
sea" a great storm on the Atlantic,
pointing out the %!act that even the
great Leviathian would break in two
parts if she were not handled pro­perly.
The speaker touched on his ex­periences
during the war. He com­manded
the first ship, the St. Louise,
to carry guns across the water. The
trip was made in absolute safety.
Captain Hartley is, in point of
service, .one of the oldest sea cap­tains
sailing the Atlantic. He has
crossed the Atlantic ocean 800 times
and has been a sailor for a period
of 30 years.
In order to keep pace with the
increasing number of football can­didates
in the Fairest Village there
has been a re-organization of the
Tiger, coaching staff with the addi­tion
of two new coaches, Leslie
"Buck" Spinks and Edward Russell
"Slick" Moulton. Both of these men
have been attached to the regular
varsity coaching staff in the capa­city
of assistant coaches. The new
mentors will assume their duties next
September.
Both of these men are former Au­burn
football players, Moulton hav­ing,
performed on the Tiger squad
several years ago and Spinks hold­ing
forth at the right flank on last
fall's aggregation.
Moulton, who has had the most
experience of the two, came to Au­burn
in the fall of '20 and made the
»
varsity squad in his freshman year.
Following this year, the new tutor,
spent the two following seasons with
the Tigers at one of the flanks be­fore
giving up the pigskin sport for
the more lucrative one of profession­al
baseball. Signing with Hatties-burg
in the Cotton States League,
Moulton has enjoyed two quite suc­cessful
seasons with the latter club,
both on the hill and in the outfield.

GEN. M'DONALD
PASSES AWAY
Displaying true Southern
League style, the Birmingham
Barons were able to mingle op­portune
hits with Tiger errors and
emerge victorious in their game
with Auburn here yesterday. The
score, 13 to 7, is no exact indica­tion
of the brand of baseball dis­played
The game was featured
by three home runs, one each from
the bats of Sankey and Hitchcock,
Auburn Bengals, and the third
clouted by Yaryan, Baron catcher.
The game marked the opening
of the Tiger diamond seas'on.
Four more games are to follow in
the next five days.
Several thousand staunch heart­ed
fans sat through a slow drizzle
during the first half of the game.
Funeral services were held last
Wednesday afternoon in Arlington
National cemetery for Brig. Gen.
John B. McDonald, U. S. A., twice
cited for bravery in the World War,
who died Monday in Walter Reed
Hospital.
Gen. McDonald, native of Athens,
Ala., and former professor military
science at Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
was born Feb. 8, 1859, the
son of Joseph B. McDonald, and en­tered
the United States Military Ac­ademy
from Alabama. He gradua­ted
in 1881 and was assigned to the
infantry.
During the Spanish-American War
he served as lieutenant colonel of
the first Alabama Infantry and in
the World War commanded the One
Hundred and Eighty-First Brigade,
Ninety-First Division, in the St. Mi-heil,
Meuse-Argonne and Ypress-
Lys offensives, winning French, Bel­gian,
and Italian honors, the Distin­guished
Service Cross for heroism at
Epinville and the Distinguished Ser­vice
Medal for meritorious service
at Forret de Hesse.
"A" Day, an occasion, fostered by
the wearers of the "A", was inaug­urated
here yesterday. Featured by
the Tiger-Baron game the first "A"
Day was such a sweeping success
that it likely to be set aside as an
annual occasion.
Tickets to the Tiger-Baron game
were- sold by members of the "A"
Club, and the net receipts of the day
will be used toward a scholarship
fund for worthy athletes. •
Dr. Spright Dowell, president of
the college, threw the first ball which
put the teams into action and also
started the Auburn Tigers toward a
prospective championship. Play by
play details of the game were broad­casted
over Station WAPI.
"Red" Griffin, former Tiger cap­tain,
was seen in action against his
alma mater. Grant Gillis, ex-Ala­bama
star, was introduced by "Red"\
Roberts as holder of the world's,
championship in forward passing.
The Auburn students cheered Gillis
and his alma mater after he was
introduced by the Auburn cheer­leader.
With the exception of the Baron
players every person who attended
the game bought tickets. Even the
"A" Club men did not hesitate to'
buy tickets, so zealous were they to
make the day a success.
A revival of the famous Auburn
spirit was noted on every hand, and
compared favorably with the Tigers
on the gridiron. The best of sports­manship
was displayed throughout
the game. •
College students were excused from
classes at 2 o'clock in order that'they
might witness the game. Not only
the students were seen on the bleach­ers,
but the officials of the college
as well as several hundred out of
town people were present. Numer­ous
out-of-town visitors were among
the spectators.

' TELEPHONE NUMBER 233—W
What about Auburn's athletics? Are
we going to back the present Director in
his program to foster as near as possible
collective athletics on the Auburn campus.
Considering not only the major sports but
other sports as well including boxing,
swimming, tennis and many more intra­mural
athletics. A majority of the East­ern
institutions believe that systematic
physical education is 'a necessity instead
of a luxury. The proof to this fact may be
had by studying the physical education sys-
-L— 1tenis~~6Y" such universities as Yale, Penn­sylvania,
Harvard, and Princton.
How shall we support the aforesaid pro­gram
which seems to be gradually mani­festing
itself into prominence at Auburn?
From statistics given out by Forrest Cris-sey
in the Saturday Evening Post, we see
that old "father football" is the support­er
of the entire Sports family. Even in
the smaller institutions it is a recognized
fact that football helps to put the lesser
important sports out of debt. In support­ing
the football teams at Auburn you will
eventually aid in putting the other smaller
ones on an operating basis as well as help­ing
collective physical education. This
helps to answer the much routed question
of, "where does all the gate receipts from
football games go?"
It is true that much favorable as well
as unfavorable comment is given out that
• athletics are taking the reins in most of
the colleges and universities. Many stu­dents
are overardent in their support of
teams and especially football teams. The
percentage is very small, but we must
think of the fraternal side of the question
which enters after the game is over.
Hereby comes the collective fun idea. "Did
you see that pass?" and so on into numer­ous
other angles of the game.
Sine-, the World war parents have come
to the conclusion that the idea of a 99
percent scholarship and a one percent re­creational
system of education is a fake.
They agree that amateur athletics is a
part of college life. They agree that men­tal
ability depends upon a good physical
body Well trained and developed.
/ The football question will at least give
us something to think about. The upkeep
of railroads are not based on the freight
rates of the small commodities, but on
those of larger volume. Operation is back­ed
by rates on the larger articles, yet a
railroad does not refuse to carry the small­er
ones. Football gives us the biggest
kick of all sports as well as the largest
revenue. The American people are will­ing
with a ready purse to pay the price
for this entertainment.
Therefore as a loyal Auburn student it
is our duty to give such a proposition its
due recognition and help with our utmost
efforts to promote a Greater Auburn and
a. Greater Alabama.
SENIORS versus MODERATION
At the last senior class meeting it was
decided to have the annual banquet after
the class members have received their de­grees.
A committee was appointed by
the class president, at a former date to
confer with Dr. Dowell in regard to setting
the time for holding the banquet. The
report from this committee was made, and
it was learned that Dr. Dowell desired the
banquet being held before the degrees are
conferred upon the various members, the
reason for this being that it would be
conducted in an orderly manner if it were
under the faculty jurisdiction. The senior
class unanimously voted against having the
feed until after the degrees are conferred,
thereby removing all supervisions from
outsiders, and all limits as to the amount
of festivities engaged in.
If the senior class saw that it was the
best thing to hold their banquet after com­mencement,
then they probably know their
business by assuming all responsibility.
But the question, naturally arises, does a
senior class have responsibility immediate­ly
after they have received their diplomas?
Inasmuch as the seniors will have their
banquet after graduating (so as to take
care of those that don't conform to stand­ards
of a sober person) then the least that
can be asked of the seniors is, for .them
to have moderation in their affair. A
class of intelligent men such as the seniors
are reputed to be, should know when to
stop their actions before the ci'isis is reach­ed.
If the seniors insist upon having their
way in regard to the date set for the fes­tivities,
then let not some few reflect stain
and disrepute upon the entire class of '26,
because of excessive drinking. Can the
senior class afford to pay the price of
having a banquet where a bunch of irre­sponsible
drunkards are present? If the
seniors insist in drinking at the banquet,
and some insist that they can't get by
without a drink, then they at least owe
it to their class and alma mater to be
moderate.
A SENIOR.
JUSTLY DUE
Dr. Dowell in his recent report to the
board of trustees complimented the Au­burn
student body' in their development,
of and maintenance of high standards of
character and of work. He further em­phasized
the moral tone of the campus be­ing
higher than at any other time during
the three preceding years.
When the public learns these facts
about Auburn, they can't help but think
that the Auburn students are getting bet­ter
and better as time goes on. In many
respects this is true, as many people have
praised the moral aspect of the Auburn
students. There are many causes that
are responsible for this change in the
students. It could be caused by better
training at home by the parents, yet it
also could be caused by the executive of
the college leading such a splendid life,
that it is a model for the students. Dr.
Dowell in his vast religious work, has won
a host of friends, as he is setting a wond­erful
example for the Auburn student
body to profit by and model their lives
after.
The primary purpose of this article is
to give a little praise to the ones that do
not receive as much as is justly due them.
The instructors in religious education have
contributed greatly to the relgious aspect
of the college, but in giving justly due
credit it seems that this source is some­times
forgotten. Auburn has had courses
in religious education for three years which
exactly corresponds to the number of years
Dr. Dowell emphasized in his report. These
courses have been offered as electives for
juniors and seniors, and college credit has
been actually given to get a man or wo­man
to better their soul by learning more
about the teachings of God and His works.
These courses are largely attended, and
as a result the moral tone of the campus
is making vast improvement. The first
year these courses were taught by Profes­sor
A. H. Barnett, of Nashville, Tenn, the
last two years these courses have been
taught by Rev. A. B. Davidson, of Auburn.
These men have done a fine piece of
work by their splendid teachings, of the
one that we love and accept as our Saviour.
We have been steered in the straight and
narrow path on many occasions and the
.smallest little difficulty that confronts us
is made clear by their sympathetic na­tures
and clear visions.
May these courses remain at Auburn
always, as their past good work has more
than justified their continuance. When
we praise ourselves for being cleaner in
the sight of God by living better lives,
don't forget that a Lions share is due to
the ones that have taught us. the direct
teachings of Jesus Christ in their religious
education courses.

WHAT ABOUT THE SOCIAL
COMMITTEE
Everybody knows we have a social com­mittee
at Auburn. It has been the cus­tom
as far back as we can remember for
the different classes to elect men to re­present
them on this committee. It is the
duty of this committee to be responsible
for the social functions of the college, es­pecially
the dances.
The Tumor has begun to spread that
the social committee clears quite a sum
of money each year on the dances. One
man is reputed to have left here with a
new Ford car and a nice balance of mon­ey,
as a result of having been chairman
of the social committee. Another former
member is reported to have said that he
received $500 as his share, apd would
have gotten more if he had not been a
rat.
Every true Auburn student realizes that
if Auburn is to regain her prestige in
athletics she must work out some plan to
make it possible for worthy athletes to
come into our fold. Other colleges offer
opportunities and inducements. Why not
Auburn?
Wouldn't it be a good plan to turn
over the dances to the "A" Club? If
the "A" Club was given charge of the
dances two or three scholar-ships, for
athletes, might | be the result. The "A"
Club would gladly give this time for their
Alma Mater, and would be happy to know
that they were instrumental in bringing
someone to Auburn to step into their shoes
and carry their college colors to further
victories.
Is the honor of being a member of the
social committee enough or should there
be a monetary reward in addition? If
being a member of the social committee
is not honorable one should not be willing
to serve on it. If it is honorable, and un­questionably
it is, one should be willing
to serve for the honor, and be big enough
to turn over the net receipts, to the proper
organization or authority, for a revolving
scholarship fund.
The above is not a mere myth, and it
deserves the serious thought and consi­deration
of every true Auburn man.
THE EDUCATION OF TODAY
Recently we saw a news item that
stated that an even dozen Auburn
students had made an average of over
90 in their grades. Now, we admit ig­norance
as to just how many students
are expected to malce 90 or over in
their grades, but we were surprised to
read that so few had made this grade.
Out of 1,200 or 1,500 students at Au­burn
we did think that more than 12
should have made 90 or above. This
is no criticism of Auburn. We sus­pect
that this great school is just
about on "an equal with other schools
throughout the country along this
line. We do want to say, however,
that the educational system of today
seems to have changed from what it
was 20 or more years ago. Scholar­ship
does not now seem to be the chief
concern of college students. Fraterni­ties,
athletics, social activities—these
seem largely* to have taken the fornt
seats of our educational institutions.
This is the easiest way, the way of
least resistance, the way that costs
the least effort and the least energy,
but surely, it is not the best way. It
will result in a brood of mental ane-mics,
and any mental disease is dan­gerously
near to moral and spiritual
disease.—Alabama Christian Advo­cate.
The writer of the above evidently mis­understood
the news item or else there was
an error in it. The even dozen he refers
to are those who made above 90 in all
their studies. There were many who
made an average of above 90 but as there
were so many less who had all 90s or
above that it was as a recognition of their
accomplishment that their names were
printed. In college work many subjects
are very hard to make high grades in
and the student who can make very high
grades in all is as much an exception in
school as the biggest men in after life. I
have in mind at present one student who
averaged 93 with one grade an 80, which
goes to show that even the best students
do make slips.
Taken as a whole, Auburn students
take |;reat interest in scholarship, and the
man who makes any honor society based
on it has the esteem of the student body
Many boys come here and will do almost
any kind of work at low wages to stay
in school. These students must have ,a
i-eal interest in school or they would take
the line of least resistance and go to work
to avoid the sacrifice and hard work of
college. Grades alone are not all stu­dents
here strive for; they also try to
get what practical experience, and con­tact
with other students they can. That
they are not essentially lazy is shown by
the things they do with no college credit,
but for the additional knowledge they de­rive.
The students publish a weekly news­paper,
two magazines and a year book.
This is just one of the many things that
the students undertake here for the ex­perience
which will help them when they
meet the problems of the world. The pre­sent
day college student tries to make a
satisfactory grade and at the same time
make friends and take an interest in the
various problems confronting students.
However, a large part of them do both
to a great extent. Many of our leaders
in student activities are good scholars,
and vice versa. I don't think the writer
above meant to accuse the students of
being right down lazy, but he does seem
to think that not many of them are in­terested
in the serious side of college life.
The majority are here for a purpose, and
the prediction at the close of the above
article is certainly groundless.
AN AUBURNITE.
AUBURN, A PROGRESSIVE
COMMUNITY
The progressive town officials of Au­burn
are to be commended for their re­cent
decision to pave the principal streets
of Auburn.
For three score years Auburn students
have inhaled dust and waded mud at the
intersection of Magnolia and College
streets, during their stay in Auburn.
In the fall, during football season when
the town is crowded, there is always a
large amount of dust in the atmosphere. It
will be a great treat for the under-gradu-ates
to return to Auburn next fall and
find the streets free from mud and dust.
Auburn is following in a typical way the
trend of a modern city.
Some of the Auburn citizens who have
eaten dust during their so-journ in Au­burn
have realized that it would be com­mendable
to spend a little of the money
they have accumulated from the students,
and otherwise, to beautify the town and
make it a.more desirable college communi­ty.
Every true Auburn man has always
thought Auburn was the best college in
the world. This spirit will doubtless be
augmented by the coming of paved streets.
Other colleges located in places of
greater population will have no great ad­vantage
over Auburn in the near future.
For when a town becomes able to have
a fire department and paved streets it
has at least reached the point of recogni­tion.

DUNCAN'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
Prof. L. N. Duncan's ten command­ments
for farmers' success:
1. "In each country there should be
a real upstanding, highly trained, coura­geous,
county man or woman agent to
lead the movement, supported by an ade­quate
staff of supervisors and specialists.
2. "There must be a real constructive,
.business-like, non-partisan, non-political
organization of the farm folks themselves,
under their own leaders.
3. "Such a distribution of crop acreage
on each farm as will result in:
"(a) The production of sufficient feed
to supply all livestock kept on the farm.
"(b) The production of such amounts
and kind of food as may be economically
grown.
"(c) The production of such amounts
and kinds of food and feed commodities
for sale as may be economically grown
and marketed.
"(d) The growth of only as many acres
in cotton as may be fertilized and handled
properly under existing boll weevil con­ditions
and scarcity of labor.
"(e) The development and mainten­ance
of soil fertility to such a degree as
will .result in profitable acre yields.
" ( f ) ' The elimination of costly labor
peaks and an economic distribution of
labor over the entire season.
4. "Such increased use of machinery
and workstock as will enable available
farm labor to compete with other sections
in the production of crops and to meet
varying prices in relation to demand.
5. "The growth on the farm of all
livestock needed for farm use.and such
surplus of livestock and livestock products
for sale as may be economically grown
and marketed.
6. "The recognition and practice of
the principle of quality production in order
to find the most profitable consumption.
7. "The recognition and practice of
the principles of cooperative buying and
selling of purely farm commodities and
of orderly marketing.
8. "The use of the least expensive
systems of farm credit available that agri­culture
may enjoy equal benefits with
industry and commerce in economic cre­dits.
9. "Hearty cooperation with all offi­cial
agencies in the dissemination of de­pendable
information concerning' farm
practices and production.
10. "A farm home built for convenience
and comfort and a standard of living for
the farm family in keeping with the
American life."

ELECS DISCUSS
RAILWAY WORK
The important part that electricity
is playing in the railways of Mexico,
was the keynote of C. W. Haynie's
"talk before the meeting of the A. I.
E. E. held in Ramsay Hall Wednes­day
night. The various phases of the
work as experienced in our sister
republic came ' under consideration,
along with the early trials and tri­bulations.
The necessity of steep
grades and sharp curves proved to
be great handicaps in the pioneer
work of that county, Mr. Haynie said
adding that since the electric locomo­tive
has come into use, the running
time has been reduced by about one
third. V
An innovation appeared on the
program, as a discussion of the cur­rent
issue of the A. I. E. E. journal,
which the society hopes to make a
feature of the program once a
month. Mr. Douglas dwelt on the
new orthophonic reproducer that is
receiving such widespread comment
over the country today. He started
with the earliest telephone and work­ed
up to the present day methods
of speech reproduction, as the long
distance telephone and the orthoph­onic
reproducer, explaining each
step and process thoroughly.

All the Baptist boys are invited to

of young ladies in the village
no condition is made and they have
an invitation "en toto." In other
words if "he" is a close communion-ist
and "she" is something else, so
far as the social is concerned, it
makes no difference.
A program of. music and stunts
will feature the entertainment of the
evening.
In the past these events have been
very enjoyable (and nourishing)
but this one promises to be the best
yet. The social committee is prepar­ing
for a larger crowd than has ever
turned out before and they are ex­pecting
to see you there.
If you have ever been to one of
these socials you will no doubt be
present and if you haven't be sure
you don't miss this one. Remember
a welcome, as well as ice cream and
puneh, awaits you.
The largest group of scientific
instruments ever seen in Auburn was
displayed and their uses explained
by D. J. McQuaid of the Taylor In­strument
Company of Rochester, N.
Y. The Educational Exhibit, as it
is called is valued at over $3,000.00;
the Values of single instruments
ranging from fifty cents to $350.00.
This display has travelled over 2000
miles thru 26 different states and has
been viewed by over 10,000 en­gineering
students in the various
technical schools in the country. The
purpose of this display is not an ad­vertisement,
but simply to familiar­ize
the students with the various
types of instruments, and it can be
readily seen that the manufactures
are going to a great expense to do
so.
Mr. McQuaid was in Auburn three
days and delivered lectures, not on­ly
concerning the uses of the instru­ments,
but their process of manufac­ture
as well. The construction of
the common theremometer was es­pecially
interesting, as €he speaker
told in detail each step, from making
the glass to drawing a hole in it so
small that a hair would not go in
] it. It would be impossible to de­scribe
the many instruments that
were on display, but we wish to ex­press
the thanks of the five hundred
students who saw the instruments
to the Taylor Instrument Company
for their courtesy in sending the ex­hibit
to Auburn. The exhibition
goes from Auburn to Northwestern
University, Notre Dame, and other
eastern colleges.

While the pipe shown in the picture is subjected to
unusual corrosive influences, all underground pipe
must be able to withstand corrosion to a greater or
less degree. Cast Iron Pipe has this quality. It does
not depend on its coating to resist rust; the material

WALL TELLS OF

Members of S. A. M. E. held their
regular weekly meeting last Monday
night in the Engineer R. O. T. C.
room of the Main Building. Yancy
Quinn, "big chief" of the society,
presided. After the minutes of the
last meeting were read and adopted,
the program was opened with W.
M. Agee's address "Construction of
a Medical Corps."
T. T. Wall took the floor, and also
the house, with his speech on "The
Low Cost of County Roads." The
speaker indicated that he was famili­ar
with the subject chosen. "A two
cent stamp will transport a bushel
of corn a half mile on a poor country
road while the same stamp will car­ry
that bushel one hundred miles
on a concrete road," Mr. Wall stated.
"Road Problems in Campaign"
was the subject chosen by Alston,
next on the program. He brought
out several statements which might
well classed under the category
df truth, and several statements
which might gain for him a certifi­cate
of membership to the "Ananias
Club."
This concluded the program and
the meeting was then opened for dis­cussions.
Chief among the subjects
discussed were the plans for the
Engineer Unit hike which will be
held in the near future, and the
question of military disipline at Au­burn.
Auburn has the champion radio
announcer according to the reports
coming in from various parts of the
country.
Much favorable comment has been
received at the studio on our pro­gram,
but Bill Wall's announcing
seems to be one of the biggest draw­ing
cards. From way up in Ohio
comes a request for an autograph
of WAPI's announcer de luxe.- This
man says that all of the announcers
of the 281 stations that he has heard
couldn't combine their forces and
reach Wall wtih a 10 foot pole. This
announcer, he says, is worth trudg­ing
10 miles through the snow to
hear. Keep up the good work, Bill,
we «re for you.

The Auburn Tigers opened the .
baseball season on the home lot yes-i
terday afternoon, by dropping the,
initial affair to the Birmingham j
Barons 13 to 7. The game was the j
feature of the first annual "A" Day
celebration. '
The contest at first appeared to j
be a nip and tuck affair and wasj
anybody's game until the Dobbers
began to unload base hits in the lat­ter
stages. Sheridan, who started
off the season gracing the mound
for the Moreymen, breezed along in
excellent fashion for the first five
stanzas, giving up but four blows
during that time. He was relieved
by Hughes after the Barons had
solved his slants for a quartet of
tallies in the sixth. Hughes later re­linquished
the slab in favor of Pat
Moulton who worked the final in­ning.
The Plainsmen started off by
throwing out the first three Barons
in order. -• Kangaroo Ellis then got
the first official hit of the season for
-the Tigers when he smacked the sec­ond
ball chunked, into the left gard­en
for one base. Ellis went to sec­ond
on a fielder's choice and came
the rest of the way around when
Hitchcock lifted one into the far
reaches of deep center.
The Barons got a run in the third
when "Red" Griffin sliced one into
right and rode home when Max
Roser hoisted the sphere over the
dump.
Four more tallies were unloaded
in the sixth. Nietzke drew a pass,
went to third on a double-cushion
smash by Conroy, and tallied on
Roser's sacrifice fly to Ellis. Chap­man
rooled out. Gillis walked, and
•"came around when Yaryan clouted
one for the circuit in center.
Not daunted by the lead just ac­quired
by the Barons, the Tigers
come back in their half of the frame
to go the Dobbers one better, and
brought five men across the plate.
Hitchcock drew a free ticket and
went to second on Chapmante wild
heave to get Wallis at first. Akin
socked one over the dump in right
for a couple of sacks, Hitchcock tal­lying
and Wallis pulling up at third.
James took the horsehide in the ribs
and the bases were loaded. Sankey
rose to the occasion by sending a
fast one over West's head in center,
the ball going over the dump in cen­ter
for a round trip. Wallis, Akin,
and James scored ahead of Sankey,
and the crowd roared its approval.
This, however, was the end of Tiger
scoring. Several good, opportunities
went glimmering by fast fielding on
the part of the Barons.
The Barons scored four in the
seventh on two singles, a double by
Max Roser,-and a couple of bobbles
by "Geechie" Stewart, Tiger second
baseman, critical moments. Five
safe smashes and a free trip, netted
the Barons four more in the ninth.
Stewart dropped a Texas Leaguer in
center, Cooper singled and Akin fum­bled
the sphere, allowing Stewart to
tally. '.West singled, Griffin drew
a pass and Nietzke singled driving in
two more runs. Conroy took one in
the slats, but Roser ended the game
when he was put attempting to
stretch a drive to right field to two
bases.
The Barons used two pitchers,
Lowthian and Stewart, the latter
being greeted with five runs in the
sixth. Sheridan started the contest
for the Moreymen and twirled well,
the Barons finding him for four hits
until the sixth when they got four
runs on a trio of hits. Lefty Hughes
and Pat Moulton worked the remaind-er
of the contest, both of these be­ing
hit rather freely.
Max Roser and Yam Yaryan were

drive to the gym for a home

W. D. "Red" Griffin
W. D. "Red" Griffin, former cap­tain
of the Tiger baseball squad
was seen in action here again today,
but this time he did not wear the
coveted colors, the orange and blue.
He has donned the uniform of the
Birmingham Barons and played a
creditable game against his Alma
Mater and old teammates.
"Red" graduated from Auburn in
Veterinary Medicine with the class
of '24 and received his master's de­gree
the following year. He was
an active man on the campus during
his college career, taking part in
many student activities as well as
athletics. Griffin has the honor of
having made scholastic distinction
while a student at Auburn, which is
an enviable record. But his distinc­tion
is not confined to his studies,
for he attained honors on the Ti­ger
diamond squad. He won the
coveted "A" for four consecutive
years and was captain of the Tiger
team in '24 and '25.
Since leaving college "Red" has
pursued baseball instead of Veter­inary
Medicine as a profession. He
played with Hatiesburg last summer
arid has signed a contratc with the
Birmingham Barons for this season.
His ability as an infielder and at the
bat should make him a valuable man
for the Barons.
CASUAL COMMENT i
Bob Sankey is the first Tiger in
years to clout a homer with the bases
choked. He will henceforth be
known as ;the man who put Nauvoo
on the map.
was successful in making some pret­ty
stops of several foul tips.
Yaryan, whose homer was the
longest nit of the game, was once
on the roster of the Chicago White
Sox. Three years ago he was with
Tulsa of the Western League, piling
up a total of 43 home runs for the
season.
Max Roser, who drove in several
Baronial runs, was a slugger of no
ill repute with Baltimore, last season.
"Slick" Moulton displayed his ver-sitility
by acting as arbiter. He han­dled
the indicator in great style and
"Seoh" Stewart's barehanded stop
of West's drive was indeed scintil­lating.
Taken all in all, the Tiger
inner machine performed like a big
league combination.
"Buck" Ellis is now the Tiger bat­ting
leader, with a percentage of
.600. Sanker is runner-up with .500.

Track Meet Held
Vote for "Katy" Elliott for May

As has been the custom for the
last few years, there will be an In­ter-
Fraternity track meet will be
held this spring. This meet will be
held at Drake Field, and will begin
about the last of this week, and
continue through the next week.
The purpose of this meet is to try
to discover a few hidden Paavo
Nurmies, Harold Osbornes, and Char­ley
Hoffs, and no telling what else.
There is very often a good athlete
in some Fraternity, who has never
had a chance to show his wares in
any sort of cinder path meet. This
will give these men a chance to de­monstrate
their ability on the cin­ders,
and encourage others to take
part in these meets.
It is to be remembered that only
last year the mighty "Spotlight"
Jackson made the supreme effort of
his college life, when he ran the
quarter-mile race for his beloved fra­ternity,
the Lambda Chi Alpha. He
dropped at the tape, and had to be
taken off the field in a state of ut­ter
exhaustion. He had given his all.
The meet this year will include the

Diamond Session
Opens With Game
With Fort Benning
Baseball season has ceased to be
one of our dreams. The Tigers
schedule remains intact no longer
than Monday March 19 when the
Plainsman meet the soldiers at Ben­ning
to try out their prowess as dia­mond
artists. Following this the
major games come on in rapid suc­cession.
Six of these will be played
on the campus, and the student body
along with the team are keyed up
to a high pitch and ready to go.
Coach Morey has made splendid
progress towards rounding his crew
into form this week. He has been
doing some close calculating on his
major line up, and the contest with
the Barons on Thursday has no doubt
given him further insight into the
situation. A line up of F. James
on first, E. James catcher, Stewart
second, Sankey short, Hitchcock
third, Akin, Self, Ellis, and Wallis
in the outfield seem to still be in
the lead, but they are all being push­ed
hard by the other contenders.
The Tigers will be hosts to the
Infantryment from Benning on Tues­day
following their initial clash at
Camp Benning March 19. Only one
week later the Georgia Bull Dogs
will invade our campus, and so on
it goes until the curtain falls com­mencement.
There's no wavering of
faith in the performance of the Ti­gers
among the populace of the vil­lage
in spite of a few pre-session
weaknesses. Everybody wants the
pill to start to rolling, and they are
willing to leave the rest to Coach
Morey and his charges.

the Jungaleer diamond squad per­forming
in the box and outfield.
Moulton is well equipped for his
new duties by reason of his experi­ence
in the tutoring line and his good
knowledge of the sport. Leaving
school temporarily, he spent the year
'23-'24 as athletic director at the U.
S. Veterans Training Post at Pas-cagoula,
Miss., and also served as
football coach of the Pascagoula
High school. Since returning to Au­burn,
where he will receive his de­gree
in Secondary Education this
year, Moulton has been coaching the
Lee County High School.
Slick received his first athletic
training at Barton Academy at Mo­bile,
where he participated in all
four sports. Following graduation
at Barton, Moulton played one year
under "Moon" Ducote at Spring
Hill, where he earned letters in
baseball, football, basketball, and
track.
"Buck" Spinks, who will devote
part of his time in aiding the fresh­man
mentor, "Red" Brown, in the
instruction of the large crew of
fresbies, Will also assist in coaching
the line forces of the varsity squad.
Spinks hails from Thomasville,
where he received his first prep
training under "Hard Boy" Pruitt.
Coming to the Plains unheralded and
unsung, Buck succeeded in making
the freshman squad in his first year
out in the fall of '22. The follow­ing
three years were spent at the
right flank on the varsity squad. The
Thomasville product, though seldom
tipping the scales in excess of 166
pounds has proved one of the most
reliable performers on the last three
Tiger elevens.
Spinks is in his fourth year in the
Civil Engineering department of the
college. His experience in the coach­ing
game has been confined to in­struction
received while attending
school and by his coaching the var­ious
class football squads during the
last two seasons. The Junior Class
squad of which he was line coach,
won the class honors last month.
The signing of these two men will
remove much of the routine work
of the other coaches and will allow
more time for the instruction of
many potential possibilities who have
dropped by the wayside previously
because of insufficient time on the
part of the mentors to cope with the
situation.
Coach Morey pointed out that it
was a physical imposibility for a sin­gle
freshman coach, for instance, to
handle 150 unknown frosh, and pick
the cream of the lot before the cam­paign
had gotten underway. Under
the new conditions it will be possible
for each man to get the proper
amount of attention in the sport in
which he desires to participate.
The contract by which David Mor­ey
is head coach of football and di­rector
of athletics has two more
years to run. Associated with Mor­ey
in the pigskin game will be
"Boozer" Pitts, who will handle the
line forces, Papke, who will hold
forth in the backfield, and Moulton
and Spinks who will handle the flank
forces. Coach "Red" Brown, as usual,
will boss the first year men, while
"Mike" Papke will handle the bas-keteers
and Wilbur Hutsell will be
dictator of the cinder artists.

TO FRESHMEN TUE
"Ideals not only affect conduct,
but conduct affects ideals," declared
Dr. C. D. Duncan, professor of So­ciology
of Scarritt College, at Fresh­men
convocation Tuesday.
Dr. Dbwell, president of the col­lege,
introduced Clarence M. Dan-nelly,
superintendent of Sunday
school work in conference, who in
turn introduced Professor Barnett,
of Scarritt college, who lead the
morning devotion. After the devo­tion
Professor Danneily introduced
the speaker of the hour.
Dr. Duncan continued, "The two
most striking figures during the his­tory
of the world were two men of
old, Solomon and Paul. Both of these
men were equipped for life during
youth, both became prominent and
each faced a great problem in select­ing
the occupation he would follow
through life.
"The similarity of their lives was
great but the contrast was worth no­tice.
Both of the men selected wise­ly
at first but Solomon was over­come
by so many wives. His wives
finally changed his mind to such an
extent that he became pessimistic.

WEBSTERIANS HAVE
NOVEL PROGRAM
Following up the interesting pro­gram
of last week the Websterian
Literary society pulled ye old time
"spelling bee" which was the most
interesting program staged in the so­ciety
in several weeks. The respec­tive
sides were led by G. C. Jester
and C. M. Kearns.
Beginning way back in the "pri­mer"
and gradually working up
through the smaller books to the old
"Blue Back Speller" and continuing
on through Websters dictionary and
all available encyclopedia until it
seemed the last two men were a
draw. These men were W. D. Ste­wart
and C. M. Kearns. It was with
much effort that Stewart succeeded
in winning the match over his worthy
opponent.
Coming as a pleasant surprise to
the society the match raised prestige
of • every member of the society as
to their ability to spell but after the
elementary grades were passed up
their confidence began to fall to
meeker heights. The entire enroll­ment
of the society consisting of
some fifty members were engaged.
After everyone had a chance to
spell one word at least fifty percent
of those spelling were counted out
and when three times around came
more than eighty per cent were
seated. Everyone went away modest
even the winner, the exalted Stewart
was too modest to admit that he was
good when the society unanimously
acclaimed him perfect.
Programs of the Websterian are
becoming more helpful to its mem­bers
in that they take care of a com­mon
need, such as spelling and cur­rent
events, in which each member
takes part. Collective programs
cause a better cooperation of the
members and progress of the society.
Visitors and prospective new mem­bers
are given a cordial welcome to
visit the society each Tuesday even­ing
from 7 to 8 o'clock on the third
floor of the main building.
METHODIST HAVE
TRAINING SCHOOL
One of the special events of the
year, especially for the Methodists
of Auburn, is the third annual ses­sion
of the Standard Training School
for religious workers being held here
this week. The school began its first
class work Sunday afternoon and
will close Friday evening at the end
of the regular two fifty-minute per­iods.
For the past two years this
school has held its sessions in Ope-lika,
Auburn and the surrounding
•hurches cooperating in the work. In
iiaving the school in Auburn this
year a great many more of the local
j. eopie and students are enabled to
avail themselves of this opportunity
to equip themselves for more effi­cient
Sunday school and other reli­gious
work. The success of the school
this year is quite evident from the
fact that more than sixty persons
are participating in the school and
from the enthusiastic response of
those attending.
Such a school under the direction
of the Methodist Church is authori­zed
to issue units of credit on the
,-arious courses offered for the
General Sunday School Board of the
church. In the south last year there
were nearly fifty thousand such
units of credits issued. It is safe
to say that as many as fifty credits
will be earned by those taking the
work here this week.
The faculty of the school consists
of Mr. C. M. Danneily, superinten­dent
of Sunday school work in the
Alabama Conference, Montgomery,
Ala. Prof. Albert E. Barnett, profes­sor
of New Testament of Scarritt
College for Christian .Workers, Nash­ville,
Tenn., Dr. C. B. Duncan, pro­fessor
of sociology, also of Scarritt
College, and the educational direc­tor,
Rev. A. B. Davidson, Methodist
student pastor and instructor in re­ligious
education here.
The courses offered deal with the
jrganization and administration of
the Sunday school, a general survey
of the books of the Old Testament,
the religious education of adoles­cents,
and the program of the
Christian religion. More than half
jf those attending the school are
busy students who are eager to util­ize
their time in college to the best
advantage, and thus find it highly

SHOP WORK
DISCUSSED AT
ASME MEETING
The A. S. M. E. met Wednesday
night in the New Engineering Build­ing,
room 109. ' Talks made by stu­dents
and a few remarks on Auburn
of long ago constituted the program.
The first talk was made by J. I.
McConnel on "Magnetic Chucking."
These chucks are of two types: ro­tary
and rectangular. The magnetic
pull on the rotary type chuck as us­ed
on the machine shop lathe is
about 100 pounds per square inch.
These chucks do away with the lathe
face plate and make operation much
easier and faster. C. E. Smith fol­lowed
with a very interesting talk
on the testing of bolt and screw
threads. He used diagrams exten­sively
and the tajk was indeed edu­cational
to the group.
•£ Some of the main points on "The
Foreman's Place in the Shop" were
brought out in a discussion by H.
G. Wilcox. One of the main ob­jectives
of the foreman should be to
instill confidence in the men under
him. After this probably the fore­man
should study his duties. He
should know what the shop with its
men and machinery is capable of do-
PROF. DAVIDSON
IOWA COLLEG
3K PEAKS AG CLUB
The Ag Club held its usual week­ly
meeting Wednesday night at 7
o'clock in Comer Hall.
A special feature of the meeting
was an address by Professor J. B.
Davidson, Head of the Department
of Agricultural Engineering of Ames
College, Iowa. .
The speaker was introduced by
Professor M. L. Nichols, Head of the
Agricultural Engineering department
of Auburn, who explained that Prof.
Davidson was traveling over the
south and visiting southern colleges
in connection with a program of re­search
in agricultural engineering.
Prof. Davidson brought out the
fact that increased capacity of pro­duction
of the individual farmer is
the keynote of the work of the ag­ricultural
engineers, over the county
today. In order to bring this about
better living and working conditions
for those who are in the agricultural
industry must be obtained instead of
the much advocated "more economic
production."
"The production of the principal
crops of the country sometimes re­quire
50 per cent of the value of

Something out of ..the ordinary
was staged at the Wilsonian Literary
society last Tuesday night. The pro­gram
which consisted of several
humorous pieces was presented by
virtue of choice from several of
the members of the society.
F. E. Bartram spoke on the "Pos­sibility
of Hauling Freight with Air­planes."
He brought out the fact
that it seemed to be very spectacular
to think of airplanes taking the
place of the freight cars in carrying
freight. y
"The Completion of Radio Sta­tion
in London makes it possible for
the first time in history for America
to be linked up with England in
the transmission of the human voice.
Miss Elta Majors quizzed the society
with a few witty questions and jud­ging
from the answers that she re­ceived
most all of the members 'four-ad
out."
W. H. Hurt talked on "Bats." He
emphasized the help that bats ren­der
in devouring the malarial mos­quito
as their food and in this way
Lelp to check malaria. One of the
most unusual things presented was
;'the Accurate Means of Weighing in
the Earth" by M. H. Hurt. He ex­plained
a plan how the modern scien­tist
are at work on a plan to weigh
the earth accurately.
"The Old Indian Snake Dance"
which attracts hundreds of people
to the old Indian territory every
year was the subject of W. D. Lu­cas'
talk. S. L. Morrow expounded on
the hazardous task of "The Deaf
Teaching the Deaf." He brought out
the fact that deaf children are taught
sounds by feeling of the vibrations
of the jaws'and then the children try
co duplicate these sounds.
Prof. W. E. Sewell and old mem­ber
of the society was a visitor to
the society. He made a short talk
to the society on the subject "What
.he Literary Society Has Meant to
Do."
The try outs for the oratorical
contest will probably be held at the
next meeting. If you have not
started on your oration, start imme­diately
so as to be ready when the
try cuts come off.

VM A REGULAR
MEETING HELD
The "one hundred per cent soci­ety"
which is the V. M. A. held its
regular meeting Wednesday night,
March 17.
The reason that this society should
be called the "One Hundred Per
Cent" society is that its percentage
of membership according to courses
of study is higher than that of any
other society of like nature on the
Campus, for every veterinary stu­dent
enrolled is a member of this
society. This society is the oldest
professional society on the campus.
H. C. Johnson made a very inter­esting
talk on the causes of "Hairles
Pigs." This freak of nature seems
to be due to certain localities in
which there is a lack of some certain
substance which seem to be iodine.
Jack Scott read and discussed an
excellent paper on "Forage Poison."
The society has only two topics for
discussion at each meeting. After
a subject has been presented all
members of the society are allowed
to ask questions pertaining to the
discussion. To answer these ques­tions
the speakers must have a good
knowledge of their subjects and
know how to distinguish diseases si­milar
to the ones discussed and also
the most suitable methods of hand­ling
the situation. In this manner
many fine points are brought out
that otherwise would remain hidden.

dealing with the men care should be
taken to distribute the work equally
so as to not create dissention. In ad­dition
to this the foreman should be
ever watchful of possible promotions
and do his utmost to grant those that
may warrant such.
Probably the one great thing in
a good foreman is good character.
Dean Wilmore completed the
evening's program by telling a few
interesting things about "Auburn 38
Years Ago." At that time (Sept. 1,
1888) the foundation' of the Main
Building had just been laid. Lang-don
hall was an old wooden building
far from the equal of the present
structure. The shops and boiler
.house combined were slightly larger
than a class room in Ramsay Hall.
The old part of the Chemistry build­ing
was built at this time. The addi­tion
was made several years later.
The approximate enrollment was
180 students. General Lane was pro­fessor
of Mechanical Arts and Dean
Wilmore was appointed as his assist­ant.
Dean Wilmore had just receiv­ed
his degree at Perdue University
and he must have been very ambiti­ous
to obtain some of the results
he did achieve. The Electrical Course
was included in 1891. The first Elec­trical
Laboratory was built shortly
after installing the course. At first
the laboratory was poorly equipped,
but later the present electrical lab­oratory
was built and more machin­ery
was supplied. At this juncture
Dean Wilmore ended his interesting
narrative so as not to overrun the
hour.
pense and consequently inci'ease his
profits, the agricultural industry will
never become a highly specialized
field," the speaker declared.
Prof. Faris, "shiek" of the Ag
department, introduced a resolution
proposing that the Ags put on a
dance after the Ag club banquet
which, will be staged Friday night,
April 9, which met with the hearty
approval of the club and a commit­tee
was appointed to investigate the
matter, and report next meeting.

Jimmy—Las night I dreamed I

Miriam—Oh, Jimmy! Were we

Fire, originating in the boiler
room and ice factory of the Pied­mont
Lumber Company, endangered
the entire plant Tuesday night at
about 7:30 P. M. Immediate respon­se
by the Auburn Fire Department,
and quick work after they arrived
on the scene made it possible to
confine the blaze to the boiler room
and fuel storage bins. The damage
will not run much over $1,000, while
the value of the adjoining property
which was exposed to the flames is
more than $150,000.
As usual, the department was
greatly handicapped in making the
run by students refusing to stay off
the truck. - It has been requested be­fore
that the boys keep off the
truck, as it is not a free bus. There
is a force of seven men who are
supposed to ride the truck, so if you
are not one of the seven, please keep
off.
The Auburn Fire Department wish­es
to thank Mr. Long and the other
officials of the Piedmont Lumber
Company for the treatment they re­ceived
after the fire.
Whereas, the Faculty of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute has learn­ed
with profound sorrow of the death
of Honorable Charles M. Sherrod, for
fifteen years a member of the Board
of Trustees of the institution.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Faculty—That in the death of Judge
Sherrod, the institution has sustained
the loss of an official who was ever
earnest, faithful and diligent in-safe
guarding it's interests and promoting
it's welfare, being constant in his
attendance upon the sessions of the
board, which body profited greatly
from his wise counsel and his helpful
participation in it's deliberations.
Resolve further—That the Alumni
Association has lost a member who
was loyal and devoted to the institu­tion
of which he was an honored son
and whose loyalty was attested not
only through the efficient service
rendered as a member of it's govern-ing
board, but also through his ac­tive
aid and support, as a member
of the legislative bodies of the state,
in securing the enactment of legisla­tion
providing for the devolpment,
growth and maintenance of the col­lege.
Resolve further—That the legal
profession has lost a member wh*
had attained an eminent and respect­ed
position in that profession and
who enjoyed the confidence and high
regard of his associates and colleagu­es.
Resolved further—That the state
has suffered the loss of a citizen,
who in legislative and judicial posi-ti6ns
had rendered notable service
to his state and section and who
held to the highest ideals of citizen­ship
and of civic- duty.
Resolved further—That a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
the mhiutes of this body and that a
copy be transmitted to the family
of our departed friend with assur­ances
of our deepest sympathy in
this, our common loss.

ford and Earnest is busily working
out the details of the trip.
The general plan of the hike will
follow in a large measure the one
that proved so successful last year—
with a few changes and improve­ments.
The hikers will in all prob­ability
leave the campus shortly after
noon on Saturday, April 17. After
a few hours of pleasant hiking, inter­spersed
with frequent halts, rests and
draining of canteens, the camp site
will be reached with plenty of time
for pitching tents, gathering fire
wood and preparing supper before
dark. Just as the fellows begin to
feel as though they could eat a
mountain, the mess call will sound
and eats galore will be dished out to
a long line of hungry boys. After
supper the entire camp will gather
around a huge bonfire for a regular
old Auburn "bull-session." After a
few hours of this the fellows will
crawl into their tents for some well
deserved sleep. No sooner will they
close their eyes, however, than re­veille
will sound, and the camp will
again be all astir praparing break­fast
and cleaning up. After devour­ing
several helpings of good, hot
food and steaming coffee the boys
will have the morning to themselves.
This will be the first chance to look
the place over and the best oppor­tunity
to, get a few snapshots of
the camp and the boys. Dinner will
bring more good eats and a few
fancy delicicies—such as prunes and
other sweets. Immediately after din­ner
all will kreak camp and begin
the return march home. The trip
back will seem even shorter than
the other, and the cadets will dis­band
after twenty-four of the fullest
hours they have probably ever had.
This hike will be open to all mem­bers
of the Rmiinp'T Unit If you
wish to g'.', turn ir. your nnme at
once with the small sum of one dol­lar
to Lieutenants Bowley or Hig-gins
or to son e mnmber of the com­mittee.
The dollar, which will be
used to purchase the i ats mentioned
above, will bo one of the best dol­lars
you ever spent. If you don't
believe it, ask some of the fellows
that made the hike last year. Be
sure to turn in your name AT ONCE
as the committee must know defini­tely
how many to expect before they
can go ahead with the plans.

mentary education in that county.
For his college education he selected
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and graduated with a B. S. degree
with the class of 1888. After leav­ing
Auburn he taught in the State
Normal at Florence, 1888-1890, and
was a journalist 1890-1898. He
built and operated the Ashcraft Cot­ton
Mills and Ashcraft Oil Mill,
1898-1918; assisted in the organiza­tion
of the Wheeler Rifles and serv­ed
on the staff of Governor Sam-foid.
Being above militia age for
active service in the World War he
served as an ambulance driver in the
Red Cross, and the Y. M. C. A. forces
overseas. He was division secretary
at Chatteau Gontier France, person­al
section at Le Mons, France, was
chief secretary in charge of all work
of the army of occupation at Cob-lenz,
Germany, and chairman of the
Salvage Board of all surplus sup­plies
after the return of combat
troops. He is a Democrat and was
elected to £he legislature from Lau­derdale
county, 1923. He is a Mason
a K. of P., an Elk, and is a member
of the S. A. E. College fraternity.
He is a Baptist.
With this enviable record behind
him it is believed that Auburn has a
real asset in Mr.'Ashcraft as a mem­ber
of her board of trustees. He is
in position to help do some real con­structive
work for his Alma Mater,
and friends of Auburn predict that
he will.
