The auditorium has a seating capacity of 1500, and the annual church budget is more than $80,000. During the past fifteen years 2,000 new members have been received in the church. Dr. Vance is said to be more than a minister of the gospel. He is a powerful preacher, a forceful man, and a keen observer of human nature. He is said to believe in taking the church to the people, rather than attempting to bring the people to the church. SENIORS OFF ON INSPECTION TRIP JUDGE BLACK CHIEF SPEAKER AT AG BANQUET Judge Hugo Black, "of Birmingham, candidate for the United States senate from Alabama, will be the chief speaker at the annual banquet of the Auburn Agricultural Club, Friday night, April 9. Judge Black will speak on "Law Enforcement." In addition to Judge Black's speech, an elaborate program of music and stunts will be given by the students. President Spright Dowell will present diplomas to the eligible seniors of the Ag Club. A silver trophy cup will be presented to the best all around junior in agriculture by Professor J. G.- Grimes, in behalf of the Gamma Sigma Delta, honorary agricultural fraternity. Professor John E. Ivey will act as toastmaster. Music is to be furnished by the Auburn Mandolin club. The agricultural club is the largest departmental organization on the campus, with a membership of over 100 students. The annual banquet is one of the outstanding yearly events, which is looked forward to with much interest by the agricultural students. One hundred and ten seniors of Auburn left town vlast Sunday on their annual inspection trip of engineering operations of the state. These students, under the leadership of Dean Rupert Taylor, of the academic department; Prof. W. W. Hill, department of electrical engineering; C. R. Hixon, mechanical engineering department; C. A. Basore, of the chemical engineering division; and J. A. C. Callan, professor of civil engineering. The party left Montgomery Monday morning for Verbena, where they intend to view Mitchell dam. On Tuesday they will inspect the steel plants of Birmingham. While here they will be entertained by the Birmingham News, viewing the Tutwiler hotel and the new Alabama Power company building. After a complete visit of the many plants and workings about the "magic city" the party will embark for Muscle Shoals, where the gigantic Wilson dam will be inspected. The party will separate after this final inspection, some going to their respective homes while others will return to Auburn. The experience gained by this trip each year has proved of very valuable assistance to the boys who go out the next year to enter life's work in engineering. It is hoped this one will prove as successful as the preceeding ones have. EGG HUNT FOR FRESHMEN IS GALA EVENT Prizes Awarded for the Best Costume; Spectator is Vict im of War MISS JOHNSON VISITS AUBURN GLEE CLUB TRIP SET BACK WEEK Miss Madge Joi: nson from the state experiment static I of Arkansas was in Auburn Mondsy, April 5, making a study of the, research work being done in Auburn by Doctor Burton. Miss Johnson is just beginning research work in Home Management, The Glee Club trip which was planned for next week, has been called off, according to Professor Bidez, leader of the club. The trip was planned to take in the northern part of the state, but due to the cancellation of an engagement it had to be postponed. Mr. Bidez said that a southern tour had been arranged and the club will probobly leave here on Sunday, April 18, on the trip. The itinerary will include Greenville, Brewton, Dothan, Troy, Montgomery and probably Hartford, and will cover one week. (Continued on Page 6) I The Easter egg hunt of last Sunday afternoon which was sponsored by the Inter-Fraternity Council proved to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Sixty or more "rats" of the different fraternities on the cam pus were dressed in very contrasting colors and forms for the event bringing forth the saying, "Summer has came." At two o'clock, Auburn standard time, the rats gathered at the Kappa Sigma house where they entertained before they were carried to the hunting grounds. During this stay at the Kappa Sigma house, ice cream cones were served to the rats taking part in the melee. After which they were marched to Ag bottom where the egg hunt took place. The judges picked Rat Vincent Arnold, Kappa Sigma "girl", as the most cleverly dressed and a prize was awarded "her". The prize was a small bottle of Colgate perfume. Then came the egg" hunt which proved to be a great laugh for all the spectators. After all the eggs had been found, war was declared using the eggs for amunition. For an hour or more eggs were bursting here and there cracking and splashing all over the rats. One spectator was injured during the battle but it was not a serious injury, only ruining his nice new spring suit. Peace having been declared the rats were lined up in a circle and a scramble for the gilded football was next on the program, and after a very lively and heated scramble, it was declared a tie. The tie going to H. F.,Rodgers and Rat Hartselle. The pirze awarded for this was a large red stick of candy, and it was divided between the winners. at Arkansas on the Purnell fund, a fund established by the United States government for research work in agriculture and home economics in each state. Auburn has six workers in the Purnell fund.

WE THANK the regular Plainsman staff, most heartily, for resigning in our favor for a week in order that the class in Journalism might have a chance to put the knowledge we have gathered in the past year into practical work. While one week can only give a faint idea of "how it is done" we will go back to the classroom with a better idea of the game of journalism. Plainsman, we thank you. NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS ORGANIZED i Board of Directors are Elected at Meeting Held on Friday Night WILS0NIAN WINS CUP AT CONTEST Earnest Receives Judges Decision in Close Contest The, second annual contest between the literary societies on the campus took place in Langdon Hall at the regular convocation period of the freshman class when the representatives of these societies presented their orations. The program was well received by the rats and kindest attention was given to the four speakers representing the four societies, Wilsonian, Websterian, Wirt, and Evans. The speakers were introduced by S. R. Gibbons, president of the Wilsonian Literary Society, after Prof. Kirkley had outlined the purpose of these annual contests, and had urged the freshmen to take a more active part in forensic activities on the campus. The winning oration was: "Know the Truth," presented by Mervin Earnest of the Wilsonian Literary Society. D. R. Stretch, who represented the Evans society spoke on, "The Monroe Doctrine." The subject of S. H. Lynne'f, pddress was "4 «"••*- ica and the War." Lynne was the choice of the Websterians. R. E. Smith offered "A Toast to America" in behalf of the Wirts. This contest was sponsored and directed by Phi Delta Gamma, honorary forensic fraternity. YOUNG AUBURN GRADUATE NOW CLEMS0N PROF. L. E. Meyers of the class of '25 was a recent visitor to the village of the plains. Mr. Meyers since his graduation has engaged in the teaching profession, being professor of chemistry at Clemson College. He is one of the youngest men in this field of work in the south, but his brilliant scholastic record made during his four years at Auburn entitle him to the position. While at Auburn he was the representative for Blach's of Birmingham, this work greatly aiding him in defraying his college expenses. Meyers has not definitely decided whether he will remain at Clemson for another year, although he has been offered an increase in salary. He is well liked by the student body of this sister institution, and he says that the greatest bonds of friendship bind Auburn and Clemson. Meyers is a graduate in the school of pharmacy, and made Rho Chi, besides many other honors. The town of Auburn is to have a chamber of commerce. At a mass meeting of the citizens of the town Friday night, the proposition was discussed thoroughly and a unanimous vote cast in favor of organizing. A board of twelve members was elected with Dr./ Spright Dowell, president of the college, and Dr. C. S. Yarbrou-gh, mayor of Auburn, as ex-officio members, making a total of fourteen. Other members of the board elected are: P. O. Davis, John E. Ivy, R. S. Sugg, S. L. Toomer, W. W. Moss, A. L. Thomas, C. A. Jones, A. Meadows, J. W. Wright, Jr., W. A. Garrett, Rufus Jenkins, and F. L. Mon-teith. Prof. John E. Ivy presided at the meeting and short talks were made by Dr. Spright Dowell, Prof. L. N. Duncan, Prof B. L. Shi, Prof. J. A. Parrish, Prof. A. L. Thomas, Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, Dr. R. S. Sugg; W. A. Garrett, S. L. Toomer, and Isham J. Dorsey, of Opelika. Mr. Dorsey is president of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, and spoke at length on what a chamber of commerce can and should do for Auburn. He endorsed the idea heartily and became a charter member of the new organization. He also suggested a chamber of commerce for Lee county, but no definite action was taken on the suggestion. The question of a chamber of commerce for Auburn has' been under consideration by the luncheon clubs ?.r-\ ',)-? P->iiil Crr.dit W,en's association for some time. The meeting Friday night was called by a committee representing each of these clubs with three additional members representing the town at large. The board will meet on Friday night of next week and elect a president and other officers. The plan is not to employ an all-time secretary. It was agreed at the organization meeting that the membership dues will be 50 cents per month, or $6.00 per year N Y. M. C. A. ADDS GENERAL SECRETARY TO NEW STAFF The Student Body Elects 'Y' Officers For Coming Year J. M. Edwards of Tuskegee was e-lected president of the Y. M. C. A. for next year, at the general elections held at convocation periods, Thursday of last week and Tuesday of this week. The other officers chosen were; G. B. Phillips, Headland, vice-president; S. H. Lynne, Decatur, secretary; J. B. Leslie, Troy, treasurer. All of these men have taken an active interest in the work of the Y.M.C.A. for the past three years. The nominations were made by the senior members of the Friendship Council, from the men who have taken part in the work of the "Y" on the campus and elsewhere. The new officers will assume their duties along with the new general secretary, Royce Crawford, at the last Friendship Council banquet, which will be held during the latter part of the month. Crawford to Fill Position as Head of "Y" Next Year JUNIORS WILL HOLD BANQUET SATURDAY NITE DR. H. B.CARSON IS SPEAKER AT CONVOCATION JUNIORS NOTICE! All juniors are requested to take notice that there will be a ballot box placed in the Y. M. C. A. office on Saturday, April 10. This ballot box will be open on Saturday from 8 to 11 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 6:30 in the afternoon. All track and baseball men may vote Friday before leaving on the trip. There is to be NO VOTING at the banquet as this will enable the nominating committee to start counting the votes when the banquet begins and give each new officer a chance to make a speech. All juniors take notice and be governed accordingly. Elaborating on the text, "Happy are the poor spirited," Dr. H. B. Carson, President of the Kiwanis club and of the Minister's union of Montgomery, differentiated between the real humility and mock pusilance, in his address to the upperclassmen at convocation Thursday. He said that the real meaning of the text was "Blessed are those, who are willing to be taught." The suggestions that he offered to the young man going out into the world as being surest guides to success were to keep ever in touch with the sources of wisdom, such as the publications relating to his profession, the conventions at which the men of his calling get together and decide matters of importance, as well as with the religious influences that are around him. The other suggestions were that he cultivate friendships, for he said that success is a balance of knowledge and friendship, and that he keep a mind that is open to all learning at all times. RHO CHI TAKES IN TWO JUNIORS i Two juniors were initiated into Rho Chi, the national pharmaceutical honor fraternity, on Monday night. Election to membership in the society is based on high scholarship as well as an interest in pharmacy and the allied sciences, and other outside activities. Those initiated were Leon B. Martin, Enterprise, and Joseph R. Roche, Tuskegee. Saturday night at the Co-op dining hall the Class of 1927 will get together for the last time this year at its annual banquet. Abe Robinson, the president, says a sumptious feast has been prepared and good music and short speeches arranged to help liven things up, if the election leaves anything to be livened. Class officers for next year will be elected at the banquet but for the benefit of those who cannot attend, a ballot box will be placed in the Y. M. C. A. office before the banquet. To refresh your minds, the nominees are given below: For President: J. E. (Abe) Robinson, J. T. (Red) Russell; W. P. (Pat) Moulton. .. For Vice-President: E. A. (Diz) Pruitt; C. W. (Red) Roberts; S.

For Vigilance Commitee: "Shorty" Long; "Paul" Turner; "Cannon ball" Purser; "Square Jaw" Salter; "Wee- Royce C. Crawford, a junior in the electrical engineering department has been selected as the general secretary of the Auburn Y. M. C. A. for next year, according to information given out by the "Y" office Thursday. Departing form the custom of the past three years, the authorities decided that the jobs as president and general secretary were too big for one man to try to handle alone. During the scholastic year 1922-23 a regular, paid, full-time secretary was on the job, but in the fall of 1923 L. H. Tapscott, a senior, assumed the double office of president and acting general secretary, and ever since then the same custom has been followed. However, as the office is of such geat importance and requires so much of the student's time, the college heads thought it best to have a student general secretary to be responsible for shaping the policies and programs of the Y. M. C. A. and a president to supervise the "Y" programs and assist the general secretary in promoting all of the work of the "Y". The selection of Mr. Crawford comes as the culmination of three years of Y. M. C. A. work on the Auburn campus. In his freshman year he was sent as a delegate to the World Student Volunteer Conference held at Indianapolis, In addition to this he has attended various other conferences over the state and South, including those held at Blue Ridge. He has served as a lieutenant, in the Friendship Council during his first year, being promoted to captain, in which capacity he has served the last two years. Among his duties for this year has been the preparation of the discussions for the weekly discussion groups of the Friendship Council. FR0SH CLASS IN SURVEYING HAS EASTER HUNT "Pop" Hulse's class in rat surveying experienced a very enjoyable Easter Egg hunt Monday afternoon. The class was engaged in measuring angles of polygons in the field back of the president's mansion when one of the boys accidently kicked over an egg in the grass. Immediately transits were forsaken while all engaged in the sport of "huntem, find-em, and eatem." The hunt soon ended, because before many minutes some ladies rushed upon the scene very dismayed \ n d angry. The hunt had been prepared for some little children, but the collegians by mistake thought that the season was too late for a hunt and that they were consuming the remnants of something that previously had taken place. Many eggs were eaten before the freshies realized their grave mistake. "Poor rats. OFFICERS FETED BY HONOR FRAT. One feature of the R. O. T. C. inspection held here on March thirtieth and thirty-first was the entertainment of the inspecting officers at a luncheon on Monday by the Scabbard and Blade military society. The officers spoke of the necessity of military training and complimented the. R. O. T. C. unit here at Auburn. Besides the inspecting officers the new pledges to the Scabbard and Blade were guests at the luncheon. mie" Baskin; 'Wap" Carter; Higgins; "Ounce" Lovelace; "Pat" Moulton; "Diz" Pruitt; "Pistol" Sitz,; "Bud" Slaughter; "Chap" Smith; '^Joe Wallis.

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W AN APPRECIATION The journalism class wishes to thank those members of the Plainsman staff who have helped us with this issue, _in the way of suggestions and actual work. Their aid has been indispensible to us. The democratic attitude taken by the junior class at its last meeting was indeed commendable. After having denied the privilege of voting to those who did not attend the banquet, the class saw the grossly unfair and undemocratic spirit it had acted in and promptly rescinded its previous action. , • When at the class meeting, the members decided that only those going to the banquet could vote for the officers who would lead them next year, the evident object was to sell more tickets. But as the subject was viewed in the proper light, it was seen that such a step would do many times more harm than good, since there will be many men who for various reasons cannot attend the banquet, but who have. paid their class dues, and who, being in good standing, are entitled to a vote. Men enough to admit their mistake, these meD filled with the spirit of democracy—the old spirit of Auburn, the Class of 1927 did the only right thing that was fair and right—extended the right to vote to any member of the class. Any other course, if pursued, would have resulted unfavorably for the best interests of the class and the college. Fairly done, Juniors. HOW HONEST SHALL WE BE? Practically every one knows that nothing is higher than a man's honor and that it is the base and cornerstone upon which character is built. It is also charged that the student that only tries while in college is fundamentally dishonest. We have a good honor system at Auburn, and as a whole it works rather effectively, but there is still room for vast improvement. The honor system is not in its infancy at Auburn, being aged by fifteen hard years. The honor board as a whole performed nobly this year, and if more fair judgements could have been rendered, it fails to catch this author's notice. This band of men have done their work at a sacrifice to their work and their friendship, but disregarding all the hardships and burdens entrusted upon their young shoulders, they have weathered the stprm. This article was intended to discuss the difficulties that confront the honor system, and how it meets the needs of our college, but it would be next to impossible to write of this field • without mentioning the ones upon whose shoulders falls the task of enforcing, and punishing its offenders. The question naturally arises as to what are the difficulties in making an honor system function properly? Said difficulties are so numerous that the greater portion of them will not be enumerated. The biggest of all is the attitude of the student body, as they are the ones who are primarily interested, and the ones that it has jurisdiction over. There are so many different standards of honor maintained by the various students on the campus, that it falls the hugh task of the honor board to perfect a fair system that will apply to all, literally they have to^peet all standards, and render their unbiased judgment to all creeds. Honor in the strict sense applies to all, and nearly all colleges are confronted with the problem of student honesty. It seems a shame that the higher institutions of learning are confronted with this problem, but it seems that the bad ones slip through, as happens in all organizations whether large or small. Honor is built long before a man reaches college, and for the colleges to have a well perfected system, it must be rigidly enforced in the high schools of our state. Judging from articles and cartoons of various and sundry descriptions pro and con, in other college periodicals it seems that the honor system question is not merely of local concern. One of the largest colleges in the country recently came out in their college paper with a very suggestive cartoon, and judging from its interpretation they are thinking seriously of abolishing their honor system. Has the matter reached this status at Auburn? No, not by a large shot, BUT A BETTER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS IS VERY ESSENTIAL TO PASS OVER THE IMPENDING CRISIS. A GRIM REALITY NO FIRE EQUIPMENT Since the several recent disastrous fires, much favorable comment has ensued in regard to the efficiency of the city's fire fighting apparatus. At present all the equipment in town, besides an antique fire truck that cost $100.00 (F.O.B. the junk pile), is about a thousand feet of hose, and a $75:00 ladder. The above mentioned truck was purchased by the government at the beginning of the World War, and served its days of usefullness at Camp Sheridan. It was discarded seven years before being purchased by local authorities, and is a, 1916 model Ford. Auburn's property owners are now forced to pay an exhorbitant price for fire insurance, which would not exist if ample protection were available. It is now possible to have that protection at a price the town can afford to pay. A standard fire truck that is capable of serving the needs of the city for years to come can be purchased for a price as low as $6500.00. The city officials realize that the members of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department (who receive no compensation for their work) are not to blame for the inefficiency of the fire department. Their willingness to respond to alarms, false and otherwise, at all hours of the night is quite' commendable, and their interest taken ii( the protection of property should be brought to mind when a new truck is purchased, and a new department drgan-ized. It is a known fact that the city officials have labored to the best of their ability for the past few years to procure efficient fire fighting apparatus. Today the importance of effectively safeguarding life and property from destruction by' fire is more fully' realized than ever before. The fact is reflected in the desire of the municipal authorities to constantly increase the means of fire protection and thereby lessen the possibility of destructive conflagrations. It is sincerely hoped that the citizens of Auburn will exert their aid and influence in order that adequate apparatus may be procured., CAN SUCH THINGS BE? Alas, that there should exist on the face of this benign earth a person so devoid of those tender feelings and soft emotions that he should basely cry out against his Alma Mater when he has left her hallowed halls! Yet there seems to be an ingrate residing in this fair land that seems to be a bit cool toward his old school. We sincerely hope and believe that this anonymous individual is mistaken, for if he were correct, his institution would be sunk to a depth almost equal to the Institute at the "Village of the Plains" which was so delightfully described in this month's edition of the Rammer-Jammer, the humorous publication of our sister school. The alumnus whom we are quoting wrote the following in the March issue of the "American Mercury" in reply to a gentleman who was seeking an appropriate hall of learning for his son, who happened to be just a bit under the weather mentally. The letter is as follows: "I would suggest to 'Manufacturer' that he send his imbecile boy to the University of Alabama, located at Tuscaloosa. Having been forced by circumstances to attend that institution, I feel qualified to say that the predominance of the Alabama backwoods yokel in the student body would probably place the manufacturer's son far above the average. A Graduate of the U. of A. New York." BE A SPORT During the game with Michigan Monday afternoon one of Auburn's players made an error. At this two or three students were soon heard to shout with a few oaths, "Take him out." To say the least, this is very disconcerting to those men who are playing the game as well as to those who are loyal supporters of their team. No gentleman would make such remarks and those students who did make them and are continuing the practice are not thought of as gentlemen. The concensus of opinion is that they are making themselves obnoxious and should be barred from attendance at future games. Though this last is not likely to happen it would be well for those of you who find yourselves mirrored in this article, to sit down and think it over, from the standpoint of a gentleman at least. WHY OPELIKA'S ATTITUDE TOWARD AUBURN It is hard to understand the attitude that our neighboring city of Opelika has seeminly adopted in regard to our baseball team this spring. At every game which has been played on the campus this season there have been several denizens of that would-be; metropolis who have rendered themselves ridicuously conspicuously by their obnoxious remarks concerning the various members of our great team. They have seen fit to carry their prejudice still father by venting their spleen on the management of the team as well as its conduct on the field. This antipathy for the Auburn aggregation seems to antedate the present season and may be traced back last summer when practically the same nine wore the Opelika uniform. The fact that they won eighteen games while only six were chalked up against them seems to have added to their jealousy, for therein lies the only explanation of their attitude. We have appreciated the patronage extended us in times past by our neighboring citizens, and deem it necessary to state that it is our belief that most of these objectionable remarks come from the ignorant and irresponsible minority. We shall continue to welcome the fair minded fans from Opelika, but as for the others, the unsportsmanlike rabble, we not only request their absence, but advise it. We would not attempt to interfere with freedom of speech—in Opelika. JUNIORS USE JUDGEMENT Saturday, the junior class will vote on the officers that will serve them for the next year, and it is hoped that they will use their best judgement and elect good capable men that are worthy of the job. Each year men run for office that have no ability whatsoever along the lines which they intend to be elected, but they have a good political pull, run with the gang, and get elected over the man that justly deserves the job. When a man works hard all the year as assistant (receiving no compensation), hoping to elected the next year, his class should see to it that he gets his just reward by electing him. A wise class will vote according to the man that justly deserves the job, not letting an upstart that has done no work all the year win the final verdict of victory. As has been stated Saturday is a very eventful day in the lives of the juniors. They are about to emerge into their senior year, and the election of the class officers is at hand. The destiny and honor of the class is at stake, and if you as juniors vote wisely, giving your vote to the man who justly deserves it, then you fulfill your obligation to your class. If on the other hand you cast your vote to your buddy who has done no work, but belongs to the same social group as yourself, then you are guilty of one of the worst crimes that a college student can commit. Be wise in the selection of your class officers, as they can make or mar the honor of your class. Study the qualifications of each individual candidate and see whether he deserves the honor that he expects to get. Don't act rashly or hasty, afterwards regretting your action, but give this matter your close consideration and attention. JUNIORS USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT, AND GIVE YOUR VOTE TO THE MAN THAT JUSTLY DESERVES IT. You may fool co-education, but you can not fool education. CQ3 WITH OTHER COLLEGES % Our old friend, Bob Miles, a graduate of Davidson in the class of 1909, is evidently quite 'a favorite on the Davidson campus, judging from the style in which an announcement that fee. wouM prsach there was written in. It sounded as though he has the love of the entire student body there as well as the one here. By the 'way, he will preach at the Presbyterian church Sunday. * * * * At Mercer, each of the four classes publish one issue of the "Cluster" the college, weekly, during the year. The class adjudged to have put out the best edition is presented with a loving cup.

A new dean of freshmen will take charge of the new students, and will entertain them in a series of banquets and other entertainments in order to get the freshman in love with college life. We will await'the outcome. of this new experiment with a great deal of interest to see how they come out with it. % BULLETIN BOARD % Friday, April 9 7:00 P.M. Ag Club banquet at Smith Hall.

Auburn Foot Prints If we hear of the awnings being singed within the next few days we need not be surprised because we will know where to look for the one responsible for the damage. Lawrence Judkins says that he went to Montgomery the other week and hearing that he was coming they called out the fire department and had all the streets thoroughly sprinkled so that they would not burn up. Even at that all the awnings were ruined as he walked past. We will all have to be on the lookout for this because we do not want all this new pave-men to be ruined in this manner and if we do see it is going to happen we can roll it up every night. * * * * As we all know names mean nothing in Auburn and during the four years spent under the shadows of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute one is liable to have any number of nick names picked up in the spare moments.

The nickers were either too small or the .hose too short, or—they might not have belonged to him at all, only borrowed ones, who knows. *F -r* T» v Andy Stone is on the war path again. We hear of him this time at the large city named Alexander City. Oh, just some Woman's College girl that lives up there and has a date or two with him, but isn't that enough. St- *P *r *l* Did some one say that they played baseball at Auburn? * * * * Throughout the course of our long, industrious and slightly mismanaged life we have been observant enough to note the fact that Opportunity isn't accustomed to separating the door from the hinges but when she brings herself to our attention by a discreet tapping, Old Dame Opp is as satisfied as if she had loosened the panels in the aforesaid door. This week she dusted her knuckles lightly against our door and we arose and said, "Welcome," and invited her in for a little chat. She refused the invitation but sweetly whispered a secret into our shell-like, cauliflower-ed ear. To this effect: Our dear editor has been most industrious with the editorial typewriter throughout the more or less scholastic year. He has edited on the faculty, on the executive council, the Honor System, the picture show and the picture show orchestra, on any and everything that came under the scrutiny of his eaglelike, editorial optics. Some of the children of his brain have been astonishing and marvelous to' behold, wondrous in their fantasy, mighty in their scope—yet ever have they been creditable to his genius,- always being a distinct resemblance to his mighty, if compact frame. Wherefore, whispered Dame Opp, why not, now that he has relinquished his darling into other hands for the space of one short week, why not take this opportunity of circumventing his overwhelming modesty and edit the editor. Whence this. Long hours we debated amongst ourselves as to the best method of bringing his sterling, 24-carat qualities before the public, and finally decided that one thing of which more anon, would be likely to prevent the Crown of the Queen of May from resting on a Ball. He is blessed with abilities and capabilities. His courageous and straightforward method of attacking the evils of the campus, somewhat after the manner of Saint George and the Dragon, has endeared him to many a champion who is always striving to improve and reform. Too, he is that unique combination, a man's man and a ladies' man (observe the use of the plural). Of small statue we must, perforce, liken him to Napoleon, for who can deny that he has a Napoleonic brain in a Napoleonic figure. That, with his charming smile, ready wit, and warm ready handclasp has made him the bosom friend of the men. To the sweeter, if perfumed sex, he appeals as does an Adonais—and truly he is handsome, and the hand that is so ready on the typewriter is connocted with a silvered tongue that weaves soft speeches on lang-orous nights and has caused many a maiden's .heart to thrill passionately and-long to leave its native* heath and accompany this young Launcelot out into the adventurous world. We all know that he is well known to the Damozels of the Zoo— rumor has it that many a fair one is accustomed to having him darken her doors on an evening, when doubtless, (this is only surmised—but how could she refrain?) she rushes forward to greet' him with outstretched arms.* W Exchanges. « CHOKED She was reading palms at the masquerade dance.

He designed a system that operates on a new and different principle, and that has met with* general acceptance in the Central Station field. He also was active in the recent re-designing of the entire Westinghouse instrument line. It was only a few months after Pierce had completed the graduate student course at Westinghouse that he was given an assignment in the instrument section of the engineering department. He took it merely as a "fill-in" job. Soon he saw that instruments play a vital part in every electrical operation. As an instrument engineer, Pierce spent several weeks on the U. S. S. Tennessee and the Colorado during their trial runs. He has ridden in the cabs of electric locomotives. He is in closer touch with radio than anyone not a radio engineer. A design engineer comes continuously in contact with sales negotiations, and Pierce's contact with them proved so beneficial that he was lately made head of the Instrument Section of the Sales Department, which means that he really has charge of the sale of all instruments to Westinghouse customers. Westinghouse MEMBER SENIOR CLASS SPONSOR IN MONTGOMERY Miss Clara Ellen Yarbrough, of Auburn, a member of the senior class, will represent Auburn at the Governor's mansion prior to the reception to be given at Stone Mountain at which President and Mrs. Coolidge will be present.

It is especially urged that all engineers coming under the above classifications be there, as in addition to the election, a set of articles governing the selection and actions of the staff are to be passed on. FARMERS ENTER TON - TO - LITTER HOG CONTEST At least one hundred farmers in the state are preparing to take part in the ton-to-litter hog demonstration this year, according to F. W. Burns, extension service specialist. Each farmer who takes part in this contest will endeavor to produce a ton of pork from one litter of pigs in 180 days. Mr. Burns says hat three hundred farmers are scattered over eighteen counties and that Coffee county will have ten and Oale will have seven. Other counties taking part will have from five to seven hogs. This is the first time the idea has been tried in Alabama. BEQUEST ADDS TO LIBRARY OF ARCHITECTURE A portion of the architectural library of the late J.

The game was one that furnished few thrills, other than the daring base running by members of the Auburn team. A total of nine bases were stolen by the Tigers, including a double steal in the eighth inning. The Clemson players were weak at •the plate, and failed to score when they got in position to do so. "Cush" Wood, another of those sophomores of Morey's, was in the box for Auburn, this being his first game to start for the varsity. He had the Clemsonites eating out his hand all the way, and struck out five batters in the seventh inning that he worked on the slab. This was the second victory for Wood in the last three days, as he was credited with the win oyer Michigan State here Monday. Wood has a good curve, and a very deceptive delivery, which is very hard for opposing batters to solve. He is sure to get the call for further service before the season is over, and great things are expected of him. ' Bryan started the game on the slab for Clemson, but fared little better than his team mates had fared Tuesday. His offerings were easy for the Auburn men to solve, and he was batted to all corners of the lot, before he was relieved by Long in the seventy. Auburn amassed a total of 12 hits during the afternoon, Hitchcock got a three bagger in the sixth inning for the longest drive of the afternoon. Auburn scored two runs in the -second, when E. James was walked and stole second. He scored on Ellis' long double to the right. Ellis scored on Captain Stewart's single to center field. They scored one in the third, when Akin doubled, stole third and scored on F. James single to the left. In the fifth, Stewart walked, was safe on second on Hudgeon's error, on Hitchcock's grounder and he "and Hitchcock scored on a double \ \ scored in the sixth, when E. James walked, stole second, and scored on Ellis' single. Ellis was caught trying to pilfer second base. Stewart walked, stole second, and scored- on' Hitchcock's triple to deep left. Self rolled-to end the scoring. For the Tigers, Ellis got three hits out of three tries, Hitchcock got two out of five tries, Stewart got three out of four tries, and Akin got two out of three. For Clemson, Milling, Martin, and Moore got one each. WOOD AGAIN! Box score and summary: Auburn A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

Tech Rats on Hand This Week End for Two Game Series Coach Brown's Men Will Attempt to Revenge Marion Beating Coach "Red" Brown will send his Freshman balltossers into action this week-end when they meet the strong Tech Rat nine on the campus Friday and Saturday. The Frosh were beaten twice by Marion in the opening games of the season, but are expected to come back strong against -the Junior Jackets. Addison McGhee, who thus far looks to be the ace of the Freshman , staff, will probably work one of the ifes, while Strong is listed as the ter in the other. McGhee was beaten in Marion in his first start, but most of the enemy runs came in as a result of miscues by the Freshmen. Strong was nicked for fourteen safeties in the second contest, but has worked well in practice week and will get the call in one of the contests. The initial sack will be taken care of by Jones, Lefty Watwood having "been shifted to the gardens. Jones has shown plenty of form at first, as a result, Watwood, who formerly "held that position, is being used to bolster the outfield, which has not ^shown up any too well to date. The Alex City slugger proved to be a terror to Marion twirlers in the series, two homers being included in his collection. Whitey Smith, who has been making such a good showing at second, will be out of the game on account of illness, his place being taken by Dick Logan, star center on the gridiron team. The shortstop position will be filled by McCrory, another football star, while Appleton, who is one of the best infield prospects, will hold down the hot corner. Lefty Watwood will be aided in the outer gardens by Simpkins and Cannon, both of whom can field well, although their hitting has not been any too impressive of late. Behind the bat will be Claud Wright, assisted by Lawley and Hartselle. Wright, although not any top large, is a good receiver and can handle his pitchers well. Besides McGhee and Strong, Coach Brown's best bets are Beard, Lee, and Ingram. The latter, who played end on the football outfit, came out originally for the backstop position, but the Frosh mentor has spent some time converting him into a hurler. The Wetumpka lad is well built for a twirler, being well over six feet in height and having plenty of strength and endurance. After the series with the Tech Frosh the Rats will rest for a few days and then go down to Troy, to engage the Normal team in a two game series, April 16 and 17. On the following Monday and Tuesday they will come home and entertain the Howard Freshmen, and will go to Atlanta that week-end for a return engegement with the Junior Jackets. "BULLY" HITCHCOCK "PAT" MOULTON ; « HIT AND RUN % It is not hard to see why the Tigers have clawed the Bulldogs, made the Soldiers do an about face, breezed through the Green Wave, and, getting more and more vicious, have driven the Tigers of Clemson back to their South Carolina lair and are now preparing to give the Yellow Jackets a pair of beatings to compensate for the tie game in football last fall. The reason for their strng of victories is that the Plainsmen possess a ten-man team. Of course there are only nine men cavorting on the diamond, as per the .rules, but there sits on the bench a man who plays harder than any of the players, and is in every play heart and soul. That person is "King Dave" the greatest coach in the sunny South. After having two rather mediocre seasons the Tigers are running wild this year. The first game of the season was lost, but the Birmingham Barons were the victors, and the game really ought not to count. Then came a string of seven straight, halted by Tulane in a 4-2. After that the Moreymen have opened the throttle again, and up to the present have not been headed for. four" straight games. And don't forget that four of these eleven victories have been from Conference foes. Auburn athletes will enjoy quite a busy week-end, the tracksters and baseballers all . have . plenty to do.\ The varsity diamonds artists will be away, but the campus will not be entirely devoid of baseball, as the Rats will meet the Tech Rats here. The Rats dropped the first game to Marion, and in dropping the game did everything that should not be done in baseball. However they are expected to do better this time. The trackmen and varsity ballplayers will go to Atlanta for the week-end. The baseball men are going with the fell purpose of disposing of the Tech team in a pair of games, while the cinderpathers will meet the cream of the South in the Tech relays. To get back to the baseball team, we take pleasure in quoting one Mr. Waller, of Georgia, who pitched one whale of a game against the Tigers recently, only to lose on' a combination of Georgia errors and timely Tiger hitting. Brother Waller said that Auburn was the hardest hitting team that he had ever faced and that he failed to find a single weak batter on the entire lineup. In other words the "heavy end" of the line-up extended throughout the entire nine positions. Incidentally, Waller has recently turned in victories over Alabama and Notre Dame, and seems to know his stuff in the pitching line. A new star was uncovered during the" gamqs this week and a strong addition to the Tiger pitching staff was received into the fold.The newest stellar luminary is none other than Col. Cush Wood, the pride of Jasper, who made his collegiate debut last Monday. Although Wood has but recently risen from a bed of sickness he looked like anything, allowing but two hits, and keeping the visitors entirely away frtom the platter. After a day of rest he only allowed four hits in the seven frames that he worked. Needless to say, the Mountain Tigers were not on speaking terms with the plate during this time. This was one of the most impressive debuts ever made by a Tiger twirler. After getting off to a rather slow start in batting the Tigers have begun to swat the pill with a vengeance and the team mark now hovers a-round .300, just missing the charmed circle by a few points. Eight Tigers are in the select •class, six of the eight being regulars. The leading regulars are Seoh Stewart and Ebb James, each of whom pack an average or.395. Next comes Akin with .375, Wallis with .341, Ellis with .339 and Hitchcock with .326. The two pitchers who can also wield a wicked buldgeon are Hughes, with .400 and Potter, wth .333. The leading twirler so far this season is Dog Face Sheridan, the Auburn edition of Walter Johnson. The big boy has taken part in five games, has hurled four complete sets with four victories and no defeats, his last two efforts resulting in shutouts. The second twirler is Cush Wood, who has two victories and no defeats, and has not given up a run in ten innings. Hardwick has turned in two games and Potter has one win to his credit, neither man having lost a game. Moulton and Hughes have each won a game and lost one. If one invites a guest to one's house it is generally expected that said guest will receive fairly courteous treatment. The same rule should apply to visiting ball teams although we are sorry to see that it does not in some cases. In one of the morning practices this week several students with a diseased sense of humor made some remarks to the visiting players that were fondly expected to be witty but succeeded only in making the speakers appear more asinine than they were, if such a thing be possible, and to give the visitors a bad impression of Auburn. Of course, the majority of the stu- Tigers Down Mich. State in the Game Played Here Mon. Morey's Wrecking Crew Gets Into Action in the Sixth; Stewart and Ellis Get Homers The Tigers of the plains downed the Michigan State baseball team here Monday afternoon, in a battle that was replete with thrills and loose fielding on both sides. When the game was called in the 7th, the score stood at 8-5, with the Tigers riding on the long end of the score, way in the first three or four innings, After trying to toss the game a-the Plainsmen got down to real baseball, and looked like they had been looking heretofore. The Moreymen were not alone in the error making, as the Wolverines made a total of four errors, while the Tigers made four. The Staters were out in order in the first inning. Ellis, who lead off for the Tigers got a scratch hit, stole second, and scored on Hitchcock's single to left. Hitchcock stole second and scored "on an error by Michigan's centerfielder. This ended the Tiger's scoring 'til the third inning, when Captain Stewart lifted a line drive over Haskin, in center field for a home run. The Plainsmen did not score again until the sixth inning. The Staters got three runs in the third, when Hood singled to right, went to second on a single off Kuhn's bat, and scored on Haskin's one-bagger to center. Tolles went safe on an error by Stewart, and Kuhn scored. Haskin scored on Fremont's single to left, and Tolles was. thrown out at the plate, retiring the side. Michigan scored two in the 4th, when Baynes went the routs on errors* by Ellis, Maury and Hitchcock. Speiker-man walked, and went to third on Kuhn's single to right. Reinhart flied out to Hitchcock, after Potter had relieved Hardwick, and E. James went in for Maury. Haskin obtained free pass to first, and Tolles singled, scoring Speikerman. Fremont ended the Michigan scoring for the game by forcing Haskin at second. The Tigers started their heavy artillery in the 6th, when Ellis led off with a double to right, and scored on Stewart's double to the same place. Hitchcock fouled out to the catcher, and Wallis was out, second to first. Akin was hit by a pitched ball, and stole second. Stewart and Akin scored when F. James hit a clean singled to right, going to third on an error by Kiebler* Sankey singled to right, scoring James. Sankey stole second, and was thrown out at third trying to steal. This ended the scoring until the seventh, when Ellis, the first up, slapped one down the third base line for a homer. This was the (end of all scoring for the game. For Auburn, Ellis and Stewart led with the stick, Ellis getting a homer a double, and a single out of four trips to the plate. Stewart got a homer and a double out of four tries. Hitchcock, F. James, Wallis, and Sankey got a single each. For Michigan, Knhn was the star with the stick, getting three singles out of three tries. Fremont got two out of four. The score should have been much closer had it not been for loose fielding by both teams. Wood, another Tiger sophomore, pitched in his first game fpr the varsity, and was credited with the victory. He relieved Potter in the fifth inning, and made a very good show*- ing, as he held the Michigan men to two hits over the rest of the route. AUBURN WINS FIRST TILT FROM CLEMSON TIGERS 10-0 Heavy Hitting By Moreymen Is Feature of the Day; "Dawg" In Fine Shape dents are good sports and treat the visiting players with courtesy and consideration and they should make it their business to see that the pea-brained minority do likewise or keep away from the games. The time-honored enemy of the "Tiger of the Plains", the Clemson Tigers, came, saw, and lost, bowing to the heavy onslaughts of the sophomores from Auburn. A total of fifteen hits were gleaned off the delivery of three Clemson hurlers, in the course of the nine innings. The team that took the field for Auburn looked entirely different from the one that played Michigan State;here Monday. They went the entire game without making a single miscue, and only four men were allowed to arrive safely at first base during the game. The infield looked like a major league combination, and only a very few balls were allowed to reach the outer defense. The Clemsonites were unable to hit "Dawg" Sheridan's curves and fast balls. He allowed Milling, Clemson second sacker to get a double off his delivery in the first of the inning, and that was the only hit obtained off him during the six frames he worked on the hill. Not a man was safe at first during the next five inning!. In the fourth inning, "Dawg" retired the Clemsonites on four pitched balls. He had them whiffing the ozone, and biting the dust at every turn striking out seven men in six innings. This is the third conference victory for "Dawg" this year, and if he keeps up his present pace, there will likely' be a place on the Al-Southern nine this year for him. "Lefty" Hughes, who relieved Sheridan in the seventh, did some nice hurling. He allowed the opposition two hits during his three inning stay on the mound, striking out three men in the meantime. Hughes also contributed a double in the eighth, to the list of hits and scored on Ellis' single. Nothing of importance happened in the first inning, for either team. In the last half of the second, the Auburnites batted all the way around and started over again. A total of six hits and six runs were garnered off Long and Hayne. Akin, F. James, and Sankey singled in succession and Akin and James scored on an error by McGill. Sheridan drove a long one down the $hird base line for a home run, scoring Sankey ahead of him. Ellis singled, stole second, and scored on Stewart's singled Stewart went to second on an error by Hudgens, stole third, and home. Wallis flied out to end the inning. Auburn came back in the third, and scored when Sankey hit the pill over Moore's head, for a homer They counted again in the sixth when sin-gles by E. James, Sheridan, and Hitchcock, and* a base on balls sent two runs across the plate. Hughes scor-ed in the eighth, when he doubled, and came home on Each team its credit. had a Ellis' singl e. double play to Sankey lead the attack with three hits out of the three trips up, one being a homer.

This gave the Tigers a record of three victories and one defeat for the Gulf Coast trip. • Sheridan was in perfect form, having all his old time stuff, and as a result the Greenies had to be content with two hits, while the Plainsmen were making six. The first and deciding run was pushed over when Captain Stewart pasted a mighty triple far out into centerfield. x The first game was lost in the first inning, when a combination of hits and Auburn errors netted four Tulane runs.

The present claimants for the different weights are as follows: Middleweight class-"Rat" DeVaughn Heavyweight class—"Dizzy," Pruitt Welterweight class"-Dots Honeycutt Lightweight—W. D.

Every member of the society is urged to take part in this debate and make it one- of the best ever held between the societies. WIRT SOCIETY HAS IMPROMPTU PROGRAM TUES. The Wirt Literary Society held its regular meeting in Wirt hall, Tuesday night. Due to a misunderstanding concerning the program an impromptu program was given under the dicection of the president. The first speaker on the program was F. L. Brown, who spoke on "The Double Standard." The speaker pointed out that we have one standard for men and another for women. L. J. Maxwell chose as his subject "Resolved, That Billboards Should Not Be Allowed in the United States." His reasons .for not having billboards were: first, many are made of wood which is badly needed for other purposes; second, since many are made of wood they should not be allowed in cities because of danger of fire; third, they endanger the health of the people by hiding garbage. Earle Cason told us about what four years in literary society had meant to him. True to the traditions of Dutch hospitality, the University of Leyden, Holland's oldest institution of learning, founded by William the Silent in 1574 and located in the historic city of Leyden, extends an invitation to the students of this and other American colleges to spend one week within its halls during the coming summer. This announcement has just been made by the Netherland American Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street., New York. A sei'ies of special lectures, social events and sight seeing expeditions July 5 to 10 has been arranged by the University for the purpose of familiarizing American students with Dutch ilfe and learning, after the manner of the "Netherlands Week for American Students" which was observed at Leyden in 1924. Free board and room are offered to a limited number of American students by the Netherland American Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street, New York. The lectures are offered free of charge by the University to all who may wish to attend. The University of Leyden, like the city of Leyden, abounds in historic interest. It was here that 'S Gravesande first introduced demonstration apparatus into the teaching of physics, some two hundred years ago. The first set of apparatus made by 'S Gravesande and his friend Jan van Musschenbroek is" still on exhibition at the University. It was here that Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, two hundred and fifty years ago, performed the experiments that earned for him the title of the Father of Bacteriology and Zoology. As recently as 1908, at the University of The speaker pointed out the many benefits to be derived thru conscientious effort in literary work. To show appreciation for their,high standards and efforts in behalf of literary society work the following were elected to honorary membership in the Wirt: Prof. Harry L. Hamilton, and W. A. Garrett. The program committee then discussed future plane for programs and hinted that a surprise would be pulled in the near future. i L e y d e n , Professor Kammerlingh Ornes first discovered how to liquefy helium. Lectures in English, directly bearing on these discoveries and the later developments of Dutch scientists, will comprise the curriculum of the 1926 "Netherlands Week for American Students." Dr. W. H. Keesom will perform experiments in the liquefaction of helium: Dr. H. A. Lorenz will lecture on "Physics in the New and Old World:" Dr. W. Einthoven on "Thin Threads and the String Galvanometer;" Dr. P. Ehrenfest on "The Theoretical Background of Modern Experimental Research in Holland; Dr. J. .van der Hoeve on "Functions of the Eye;" Dr. W. J. deHaas on "Molecular and Electronic Physics;" Dr. C. A. Crommlein on "Instrument Making" and Dr. W. H. van Seters on "The Work of Anthony van Leeuwenhoek." Apart from these lectures, the week will include sight seeing around Leyden where the Pilgrim Fathers lived before coming to America in 1620, evening trips to Dutch seaside resorts, an inspection of the Peace Palace and the World Court at The Hague; the Royal Art Galleries where the paintings of Rembrandt and other Dutch masters are exhibited; tea with the American Minister at The Hague; a visit to Haarlem and the Frans Hals Museum; excursions to Amsterdlam, Marken and Volendam, if desired. Students wishing a more extensive tour of Holland than will be possible during the Netherlands Week for American Students" are invited to communicate with the Netherland America Foundation regarding a preliminary tour which will be.arranged by the Official Tourist Office of the Dutch government for the three days preceding July 5. This tour will include Amsterdam and the Rijks Museum, the "Dam" and the diamond cutting factories; Colendam and Mar-ken, Alkmaarm, Aalsmeer and Utrecht. Holland, with its tulip gardens, its canals and its windmille is the most picturesque of countries. The city of Leyden is beautifully situated among lakes, dunes and pastoral scenes. It is twenty minutes by train from The Hague, but a short distance from Delft, where Hugo Grotius was born, and from Rotterdam, Holland's principal seaport. Haarlem is less than fifty minutes away. • Leyden itself is the seat of many museums w * * hen the runners are bunched on the track—and suddenly Chuck, your own superman half-miler, spurts ahead on the finish and wins —have a Camel!

AUBURN WOMAN OF YESTERDAY IS TOPIC FOR TALK Address on "The Auburn Woman of My Day" by Miss Mary Robinson of Birmingham was one of the outstanding features of the annual banquet of Auburn graduates held in the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel during the meeting of the Alabama Educational Association. Miss Robinson received the B.S. degree "at Auburn in 1899. She has been connected with the high schools in Birmingham for several years. Miss Robinson told Auburn men that the Auburn woman of her day did not paint except with the blushing modesty of making an error in class, nor did she drink from the fountain of knowledge. "Not wanted by the male contingent, the Auburn woman of my day," the speaker continued,' "was compelled to make herself liked and useful. She did this by coaching the boys in some of the more difficult branches and at the same time have the-boys feel that they were taking the lead. "The boys had a choice of curriculum, being required to take only one foreign language while the girls were required to take Latin, French, and German, the faculty believing apparently that one tongue was not enough for a woman. "The,, habits of the Auburn girl of my day were simple, being hedged about by the conventions of the day. The girl was never invited nor expected to attend class meetings when election of officers took place. Nor ware they invited to membership in any of the literary societies. If the girls attended they went under escort simply to furnish dignity and atmosphere to the occasion, and while the girls easily led their classes in scholarship they were far too keen to refer to it? .- , iLEE CLUB TRIP SET .

PI K A CHAPTER CELEBRATES ITS 31 ANNIVERSARY The banquet of the Upsilon chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha national Greek letter fraternity, was one of the outstanding features of campus activities last week. The banquet marked the thirty-first anniversary of the Auburn chapter, a charter having been granted to the Upsilon chapter in March 1895. The feature of the banquet was the presence and address of one of the charter members, P. T. Mclntyre, of LeGrand, Alabama. Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity was established at- the University of Virginia in 1868 and has seventy-one active chapters throughout the United States. There are four chapters in Alabama, Upsilon at Auburn, Delta at Birmingham-Southern, Alpha Pi at Howard; and Gamma at the University of Alabama. Jach Chambers of the class of 1919 was toastmaster. Among those responding to toast were: M. J. Bariss, C. A. Allgood, W. 0. Baskin, J. F. Busey, S H Lynne,.Rev. A. B. Davidson, and Professor H. G. Grant. ENGLISH PROF. MAKES ADDRESS AT WEBSTERIAN TAU BETA PI'S ONSTRUCTING JEW EMBLEM Preliminary to their formal initiation, the pledges of Tau Beta Pi, national engineering honor fraternity, are constructing the emblem of the society, in concrete, on the terrace in front of Ramsay Hall. The custom in the past has been for the pledges to build the emblem on the campus in front of Langdon- Hall, using wooden strips and covering it with cloth, but with the erection of the new Ramsay Hall, it was thought better to let the present class of initiates make something permanent. The men expect to complete their work by the latter part of the week. r BURNS & STACY Licensed Student Electrician Anything Electrical " Contract and Repair Work Phone 155-W r - -\ / The regular business for the Webs-terian Literary society in the beginning of the hour was short. Those matters taken up were the hike and weiner roast which is to be held soon. Another item was the announcement of the subject for the inter-society debate which was: "Resolved, That the Phohibition Amendment Should Be Repealed." There being no other business the president introduced the speaker for the evening, Professor Daugherity of the English department. Professor Daugherity announced his subject as "What Does It Take to' Be Successful." The address was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire number present as shown by their undivided attention. Calling to mind such men as Rupert Hughes, John Erskine, Conrad Nagel, and several successful women who were acquaintances of his, Professor'Daugherity outlined their program of work whereby they achieved so-called success by the general public.

"Daddy" Kearns of both newspaper and greenhouse fame, as chairman of the program committee, is giving the club a real treat in the variety of programs which he is putting on thjs semester. His latest number was put on by the co-eds Wednesday night at the regular meeting hour in Comer Hall. The program opened with several ukelele selections by Minette Thomas and Lucile Totty, which made many of the Ag boys, including "Doc" Small, yearn for the wide Qpen spaces where the moon shines brightly and the frogs hold forth in their nightly setto. In a short snappy talk on the essentials of success for the college man or woman, Alma Bentley brought out that among other things, pep, push, an personality are necessary pre-requisites for making good. Mildred Locke in her usual entertaining way gave a reading, "The Abondoned Elopement," which was well received by the club. "Boys" of today and fifty years ago was abjy discussed by Hazel Arant, in which she declared that the boys of today are better than the boys of half a century ago, which is primarily due to the better influence of the homes, schools and churches.

Vance, pastor of First Presbyterian church of Nashville, Tenn., will conduct the annual religious meeting at Auburn during the week of April 26. ' The meeting will be held in Langdon Hall, the college chapel, all the protestant churches at Auburn meeting and cooperating. The meeting last year was led by Bishop Mouzon of the Methodist Episcopal church South. Dr. Vance's church in Nashville has a membership of 2300, some of Tennessee's greatest statesmen and scholars being .listed on the church roll. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 1500, and the annual church budget is more than $80,000. During the past fifteen years 2,000 new members have been received in the church. Dr. Vance is said to be more than a minister of the gospel. He is a powerful preacher, a forceful man, and a keen observer of human nature. He is said to believe in taking the church to the people, rather than attempting to bring the people to the church. SENIORS OFF ON INSPECTION TRIP JUDGE BLACK CHIEF SPEAKER AT AG BANQUET Judge Hugo Black, "of Birmingham, candidate for the United States senate from Alabama, will be the chief speaker at the annual banquet of the Auburn Agricultural Club, Friday night, April 9. Judge Black will speak on "Law Enforcement." In addition to Judge Black's speech, an elaborate program of music and stunts will be given by the students. President Spright Dowell will present diplomas to the eligible seniors of the Ag Club. A silver trophy cup will be presented to the best all around junior in agriculture by Professor J. G.- Grimes, in behalf of the Gamma Sigma Delta, honorary agricultural fraternity. Professor John E. Ivey will act as toastmaster. Music is to be furnished by the Auburn Mandolin club. The agricultural club is the largest departmental organization on the campus, with a membership of over 100 students. The annual banquet is one of the outstanding yearly events, which is looked forward to with much interest by the agricultural students. One hundred and ten seniors of Auburn left town vlast Sunday on their annual inspection trip of engineering operations of the state. These students, under the leadership of Dean Rupert Taylor, of the academic department; Prof. W. W. Hill, department of electrical engineering; C. R. Hixon, mechanical engineering department; C. A. Basore, of the chemical engineering division; and J. A. C. Callan, professor of civil engineering. The party left Montgomery Monday morning for Verbena, where they intend to view Mitchell dam. On Tuesday they will inspect the steel plants of Birmingham. While here they will be entertained by the Birmingham News, viewing the Tutwiler hotel and the new Alabama Power company building. After a complete visit of the many plants and workings about the "magic city" the party will embark for Muscle Shoals, where the gigantic Wilson dam will be inspected. The party will separate after this final inspection, some going to their respective homes while others will return to Auburn. The experience gained by this trip each year has proved of very valuable assistance to the boys who go out the next year to enter life's work in engineering. It is hoped this one will prove as successful as the preceeding ones have. EGG HUNT FOR FRESHMEN IS GALA EVENT Prizes Awarded for the Best Costume; Spectator is Vict im of War MISS JOHNSON VISITS AUBURN GLEE CLUB TRIP SET BACK WEEK Miss Madge Joi: nson from the state experiment static I of Arkansas was in Auburn Mondsy, April 5, making a study of the, research work being done in Auburn by Doctor Burton. Miss Johnson is just beginning research work in Home Management, The Glee Club trip which was planned for next week, has been called off, according to Professor Bidez, leader of the club. The trip was planned to take in the northern part of the state, but due to the cancellation of an engagement it had to be postponed. Mr. Bidez said that a southern tour had been arranged and the club will probobly leave here on Sunday, April 18, on the trip. The itinerary will include Greenville, Brewton, Dothan, Troy, Montgomery and probably Hartford, and will cover one week. (Continued on Page 6) I The Easter egg hunt of last Sunday afternoon which was sponsored by the Inter-Fraternity Council proved to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Sixty or more "rats" of the different fraternities on the cam pus were dressed in very contrasting colors and forms for the event bringing forth the saying, "Summer has came." At two o'clock, Auburn standard time, the rats gathered at the Kappa Sigma house where they entertained before they were carried to the hunting grounds. During this stay at the Kappa Sigma house, ice cream cones were served to the rats taking part in the melee. After which they were marched to Ag bottom where the egg hunt took place. The judges picked Rat Vincent Arnold, Kappa Sigma "girl", as the most cleverly dressed and a prize was awarded "her". The prize was a small bottle of Colgate perfume. Then came the egg" hunt which proved to be a great laugh for all the spectators. After all the eggs had been found, war was declared using the eggs for amunition. For an hour or more eggs were bursting here and there cracking and splashing all over the rats. One spectator was injured during the battle but it was not a serious injury, only ruining his nice new spring suit. Peace having been declared the rats were lined up in a circle and a scramble for the gilded football was next on the program, and after a very lively and heated scramble, it was declared a tie. The tie going to H. F.,Rodgers and Rat Hartselle. The pirze awarded for this was a large red stick of candy, and it was divided between the winners. at Arkansas on the Purnell fund, a fund established by the United States government for research work in agriculture and home economics in each state. Auburn has six workers in the Purnell fund.

WE THANK the regular Plainsman staff, most heartily, for resigning in our favor for a week in order that the class in Journalism might have a chance to put the knowledge we have gathered in the past year into practical work. While one week can only give a faint idea of "how it is done" we will go back to the classroom with a better idea of the game of journalism. Plainsman, we thank you. NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS ORGANIZED i Board of Directors are Elected at Meeting Held on Friday Night WILS0NIAN WINS CUP AT CONTEST Earnest Receives Judges Decision in Close Contest The, second annual contest between the literary societies on the campus took place in Langdon Hall at the regular convocation period of the freshman class when the representatives of these societies presented their orations. The program was well received by the rats and kindest attention was given to the four speakers representing the four societies, Wilsonian, Websterian, Wirt, and Evans. The speakers were introduced by S. R. Gibbons, president of the Wilsonian Literary Society, after Prof. Kirkley had outlined the purpose of these annual contests, and had urged the freshmen to take a more active part in forensic activities on the campus. The winning oration was: "Know the Truth," presented by Mervin Earnest of the Wilsonian Literary Society. D. R. Stretch, who represented the Evans society spoke on, "The Monroe Doctrine." The subject of S. H. Lynne'f, pddress was "4 «"••*- ica and the War." Lynne was the choice of the Websterians. R. E. Smith offered "A Toast to America" in behalf of the Wirts. This contest was sponsored and directed by Phi Delta Gamma, honorary forensic fraternity. YOUNG AUBURN GRADUATE NOW CLEMS0N PROF. L. E. Meyers of the class of '25 was a recent visitor to the village of the plains. Mr. Meyers since his graduation has engaged in the teaching profession, being professor of chemistry at Clemson College. He is one of the youngest men in this field of work in the south, but his brilliant scholastic record made during his four years at Auburn entitle him to the position. While at Auburn he was the representative for Blach's of Birmingham, this work greatly aiding him in defraying his college expenses. Meyers has not definitely decided whether he will remain at Clemson for another year, although he has been offered an increase in salary. He is well liked by the student body of this sister institution, and he says that the greatest bonds of friendship bind Auburn and Clemson. Meyers is a graduate in the school of pharmacy, and made Rho Chi, besides many other honors. The town of Auburn is to have a chamber of commerce. At a mass meeting of the citizens of the town Friday night, the proposition was discussed thoroughly and a unanimous vote cast in favor of organizing. A board of twelve members was elected with Dr./ Spright Dowell, president of the college, and Dr. C. S. Yarbrou-gh, mayor of Auburn, as ex-officio members, making a total of fourteen. Other members of the board elected are: P. O. Davis, John E. Ivy, R. S. Sugg, S. L. Toomer, W. W. Moss, A. L. Thomas, C. A. Jones, A. Meadows, J. W. Wright, Jr., W. A. Garrett, Rufus Jenkins, and F. L. Mon-teith. Prof. John E. Ivy presided at the meeting and short talks were made by Dr. Spright Dowell, Prof. L. N. Duncan, Prof B. L. Shi, Prof. J. A. Parrish, Prof. A. L. Thomas, Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, Dr. R. S. Sugg; W. A. Garrett, S. L. Toomer, and Isham J. Dorsey, of Opelika. Mr. Dorsey is president of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, and spoke at length on what a chamber of commerce can and should do for Auburn. He endorsed the idea heartily and became a charter member of the new organization. He also suggested a chamber of commerce for Lee county, but no definite action was taken on the suggestion. The question of a chamber of commerce for Auburn has' been under consideration by the luncheon clubs ?.r-\ ',)-? P->iiil Crr.dit W,en's association for some time. The meeting Friday night was called by a committee representing each of these clubs with three additional members representing the town at large. The board will meet on Friday night of next week and elect a president and other officers. The plan is not to employ an all-time secretary. It was agreed at the organization meeting that the membership dues will be 50 cents per month, or $6.00 per year N Y. M. C. A. ADDS GENERAL SECRETARY TO NEW STAFF The Student Body Elects 'Y' Officers For Coming Year J. M. Edwards of Tuskegee was e-lected president of the Y. M. C. A. for next year, at the general elections held at convocation periods, Thursday of last week and Tuesday of this week. The other officers chosen were; G. B. Phillips, Headland, vice-president; S. H. Lynne, Decatur, secretary; J. B. Leslie, Troy, treasurer. All of these men have taken an active interest in the work of the Y.M.C.A. for the past three years. The nominations were made by the senior members of the Friendship Council, from the men who have taken part in the work of the "Y" on the campus and elsewhere. The new officers will assume their duties along with the new general secretary, Royce Crawford, at the last Friendship Council banquet, which will be held during the latter part of the month. Crawford to Fill Position as Head of "Y" Next Year JUNIORS WILL HOLD BANQUET SATURDAY NITE DR. H. B.CARSON IS SPEAKER AT CONVOCATION JUNIORS NOTICE! All juniors are requested to take notice that there will be a ballot box placed in the Y. M. C. A. office on Saturday, April 10. This ballot box will be open on Saturday from 8 to 11 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 6:30 in the afternoon. All track and baseball men may vote Friday before leaving on the trip. There is to be NO VOTING at the banquet as this will enable the nominating committee to start counting the votes when the banquet begins and give each new officer a chance to make a speech. All juniors take notice and be governed accordingly. Elaborating on the text, "Happy are the poor spirited," Dr. H. B. Carson, President of the Kiwanis club and of the Minister's union of Montgomery, differentiated between the real humility and mock pusilance, in his address to the upperclassmen at convocation Thursday. He said that the real meaning of the text was "Blessed are those, who are willing to be taught." The suggestions that he offered to the young man going out into the world as being surest guides to success were to keep ever in touch with the sources of wisdom, such as the publications relating to his profession, the conventions at which the men of his calling get together and decide matters of importance, as well as with the religious influences that are around him. The other suggestions were that he cultivate friendships, for he said that success is a balance of knowledge and friendship, and that he keep a mind that is open to all learning at all times. RHO CHI TAKES IN TWO JUNIORS i Two juniors were initiated into Rho Chi, the national pharmaceutical honor fraternity, on Monday night. Election to membership in the society is based on high scholarship as well as an interest in pharmacy and the allied sciences, and other outside activities. Those initiated were Leon B. Martin, Enterprise, and Joseph R. Roche, Tuskegee. Saturday night at the Co-op dining hall the Class of 1927 will get together for the last time this year at its annual banquet. Abe Robinson, the president, says a sumptious feast has been prepared and good music and short speeches arranged to help liven things up, if the election leaves anything to be livened. Class officers for next year will be elected at the banquet but for the benefit of those who cannot attend, a ballot box will be placed in the Y. M. C. A. office before the banquet.

Crawford, a junior in the electrical engineering department has been selected as the general secretary of the Auburn Y. M. C. A. for next year, according to information given out by the "Y" office Thursday. Departing form the custom of the past three years, the authorities decided that the jobs as president and general secretary were too big for one man to try to handle alone. During the scholastic year 1922-23 a regular, paid, full-time secretary was on the job, but in the fall of 1923 L. H. Tapscott, a senior, assumed the double office of president and acting general secretary, and ever since then the same custom has been followed. However, as the office is of such geat importance and requires so much of the student's time, the college heads thought it best to have a student general secretary to be responsible for shaping the policies and programs of the Y. M. C. A. and a president to supervise the "Y" programs and assist the general secretary in promoting all of the work of the "Y". The selection of Mr. Crawford comes as the culmination of three years of Y. M. C. A. work on the Auburn campus. In his freshman year he was sent as a delegate to the World Student Volunteer Conference held at Indianapolis, In addition to this he has attended various other conferences over the state and South, including those held at Blue Ridge. He has served as a lieutenant, in the Friendship Council during his first year, being promoted to captain, in which capacity he has served the last two years. Among his duties for this year has been the preparation of the discussions for the weekly discussion groups of the Friendship Council. FR0SH CLASS IN SURVEYING HAS EASTER HUNT "Pop" Hulse's class in rat surveying experienced a very enjoyable Easter Egg hunt Monday afternoon. The class was engaged in measuring angles of polygons in the field back of the president's mansion when one of the boys accidently kicked over an egg in the grass. Immediately transits were forsaken while all engaged in the sport of "huntem, find-em, and eatem." The hunt soon ended, because before many minutes some ladies rushed upon the scene very dismayed \ n d angry. The hunt had been prepared for some little children, but the collegians by mistake thought that the season was too late for a hunt and that they were consuming the remnants of something that previously had taken place. Many eggs were eaten before the freshies realized their grave mistake. "Poor rats. OFFICERS FETED BY HONOR FRAT. One feature of the R. O. T. C. inspection held here on March thirtieth and thirty-first was the entertainment of the inspecting officers at a luncheon on Monday by the Scabbard and Blade military society. The officers spoke of the necessity of military training and complimented the. R. O. T. C. unit here at Auburn. Besides the inspecting officers the new pledges to the Scabbard and Blade were guests at the luncheon. mie" Baskin; 'Wap" Carter; Higgins; "Ounce" Lovelace; "Pat" Moulton; "Diz" Pruitt; "Pistol" Sitz,; "Bud" Slaughter; "Chap" Smith; '^Joe Wallis.

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W AN APPRECIATION The journalism class wishes to thank those members of the Plainsman staff who have helped us with this issue, _in the way of suggestions and actual work. Their aid has been indispensible to us. The democratic attitude taken by the junior class at its last meeting was indeed commendable. After having denied the privilege of voting to those who did not attend the banquet, the class saw the grossly unfair and undemocratic spirit it had acted in and promptly rescinded its previous action. , • When at the class meeting, the members decided that only those going to the banquet could vote for the officers who would lead them next year, the evident object was to sell more tickets. But as the subject was viewed in the proper light, it was seen that such a step would do many times more harm than good, since there will be many men who for various reasons cannot attend the banquet, but who have. paid their class dues, and who, being in good standing, are entitled to a vote. Men enough to admit their mistake, these meD filled with the spirit of democracy—the old spirit of Auburn, the Class of 1927 did the only right thing that was fair and right—extended the right to vote to any member of the class. Any other course, if pursued, would have resulted unfavorably for the best interests of the class and the college. Fairly done, Juniors. HOW HONEST SHALL WE BE? Practically every one knows that nothing is higher than a man's honor and that it is the base and cornerstone upon which character is built. It is also charged that the student that only tries while in college is fundamentally dishonest. We have a good honor system at Auburn, and as a whole it works rather effectively, but there is still room for vast improvement. The honor system is not in its infancy at Auburn, being aged by fifteen hard years. The honor board as a whole performed nobly this year, and if more fair judgements could have been rendered, it fails to catch this author's notice. This band of men have done their work at a sacrifice to their work and their friendship, but disregarding all the hardships and burdens entrusted upon their young shoulders, they have weathered the stprm. This article was intended to discuss the difficulties that confront the honor system, and how it meets the needs of our college, but it would be next to impossible to write of this field • without mentioning the ones upon whose shoulders falls the task of enforcing, and punishing its offenders. The question naturally arises as to what are the difficulties in making an honor system function properly? Said difficulties are so numerous that the greater portion of them will not be enumerated. The biggest of all is the attitude of the student body, as they are the ones who are primarily interested, and the ones that it has jurisdiction over. There are so many different standards of honor maintained by the various students on the campus, that it falls the hugh task of the honor board to perfect a fair system that will apply to all, literally they have to^peet all standards, and render their unbiased judgment to all creeds. Honor in the strict sense applies to all, and nearly all colleges are confronted with the problem of student honesty. It seems a shame that the higher institutions of learning are confronted with this problem, but it seems that the bad ones slip through, as happens in all organizations whether large or small. Honor is built long before a man reaches college, and for the colleges to have a well perfected system, it must be rigidly enforced in the high schools of our state. Judging from articles and cartoons of various and sundry descriptions pro and con, in other college periodicals it seems that the honor system question is not merely of local concern. One of the largest colleges in the country recently came out in their college paper with a very suggestive cartoon, and judging from its interpretation they are thinking seriously of abolishing their honor system. Has the matter reached this status at Auburn? No, not by a large shot, BUT A BETTER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS IS VERY ESSENTIAL TO PASS OVER THE IMPENDING CRISIS. A GRIM REALITY NO FIRE EQUIPMENT Since the several recent disastrous fires, much favorable comment has ensued in regard to the efficiency of the city's fire fighting apparatus. At present all the equipment in town, besides an antique fire truck that cost $100.00 (F.O.B. the junk pile), is about a thousand feet of hose, and a $75:00 ladder. The above mentioned truck was purchased by the government at the beginning of the World War, and served its days of usefullness at Camp Sheridan. It was discarded seven years before being purchased by local authorities, and is a, 1916 model Ford. Auburn's property owners are now forced to pay an exhorbitant price for fire insurance, which would not exist if ample protection were available. It is now possible to have that protection at a price the town can afford to pay. A standard fire truck that is capable of serving the needs of the city for years to come can be purchased for a price as low as $6500.00. The city officials realize that the members of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department (who receive no compensation for their work) are not to blame for the inefficiency of the fire department. Their willingness to respond to alarms, false and otherwise, at all hours of the night is quite' commendable, and their interest taken ii( the protection of property should be brought to mind when a new truck is purchased, and a new department drgan-ized. It is a known fact that the city officials have labored to the best of their ability for the past few years to procure efficient fire fighting apparatus. Today the importance of effectively safeguarding life and property from destruction by' fire is more fully' realized than ever before. The fact is reflected in the desire of the municipal authorities to constantly increase the means of fire protection and thereby lessen the possibility of destructive conflagrations. It is sincerely hoped that the citizens of Auburn will exert their aid and influence in order that adequate apparatus may be procured., CAN SUCH THINGS BE? Alas, that there should exist on the face of this benign earth a person so devoid of those tender feelings and soft emotions that he should basely cry out against his Alma Mater when he has left her hallowed halls! Yet there seems to be an ingrate residing in this fair land that seems to be a bit cool toward his old school. We sincerely hope and believe that this anonymous individual is mistaken, for if he were correct, his institution would be sunk to a depth almost equal to the Institute at the "Village of the Plains" which was so delightfully described in this month's edition of the Rammer-Jammer, the humorous publication of our sister school. The alumnus whom we are quoting wrote the following in the March issue of the "American Mercury" in reply to a gentleman who was seeking an appropriate hall of learning for his son, who happened to be just a bit under the weather mentally. The letter is as follows: "I would suggest to 'Manufacturer' that he send his imbecile boy to the University of Alabama, located at Tuscaloosa. Having been forced by circumstances to attend that institution, I feel qualified to say that the predominance of the Alabama backwoods yokel in the student body would probably place the manufacturer's son far above the average. A Graduate of the U. of A. New York." BE A SPORT During the game with Michigan Monday afternoon one of Auburn's players made an error. At this two or three students were soon heard to shout with a few oaths, "Take him out." To say the least, this is very disconcerting to those men who are playing the game as well as to those who are loyal supporters of their team. No gentleman would make such remarks and those students who did make them and are continuing the practice are not thought of as gentlemen. The concensus of opinion is that they are making themselves obnoxious and should be barred from attendance at future games. Though this last is not likely to happen it would be well for those of you who find yourselves mirrored in this article, to sit down and think it over, from the standpoint of a gentleman at least. WHY OPELIKA'S ATTITUDE TOWARD AUBURN It is hard to understand the attitude that our neighboring city of Opelika has seeminly adopted in regard to our baseball team this spring. At every game which has been played on the campus this season there have been several denizens of that would-be; metropolis who have rendered themselves ridicuously conspicuously by their obnoxious remarks concerning the various members of our great team. They have seen fit to carry their prejudice still father by venting their spleen on the management of the team as well as its conduct on the field. This antipathy for the Auburn aggregation seems to antedate the present season and may be traced back last summer when practically the same nine wore the Opelika uniform. The fact that they won eighteen games while only six were chalked up against them seems to have added to their jealousy, for therein lies the only explanation of their attitude. We have appreciated the patronage extended us in times past by our neighboring citizens, and deem it necessary to state that it is our belief that most of these objectionable remarks come from the ignorant and irresponsible minority. We shall continue to welcome the fair minded fans from Opelika, but as for the others, the unsportsmanlike rabble, we not only request their absence, but advise it. We would not attempt to interfere with freedom of speech—in Opelika. JUNIORS USE JUDGEMENT Saturday, the junior class will vote on the officers that will serve them for the next year, and it is hoped that they will use their best judgement and elect good capable men that are worthy of the job. Each year men run for office that have no ability whatsoever along the lines which they intend to be elected, but they have a good political pull, run with the gang, and get elected over the man that justly deserves the job. When a man works hard all the year as assistant (receiving no compensation), hoping to elected the next year, his class should see to it that he gets his just reward by electing him. A wise class will vote according to the man that justly deserves the job, not letting an upstart that has done no work all the year win the final verdict of victory. As has been stated Saturday is a very eventful day in the lives of the juniors. They are about to emerge into their senior year, and the election of the class officers is at hand. The destiny and honor of the class is at stake, and if you as juniors vote wisely, giving your vote to the man who justly deserves it, then you fulfill your obligation to your class. If on the other hand you cast your vote to your buddy who has done no work, but belongs to the same social group as yourself, then you are guilty of one of the worst crimes that a college student can commit. Be wise in the selection of your class officers, as they can make or mar the honor of your class. Study the qualifications of each individual candidate and see whether he deserves the honor that he expects to get. Don't act rashly or hasty, afterwards regretting your action, but give this matter your close consideration and attention. JUNIORS USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT, AND GIVE YOUR VOTE TO THE MAN THAT JUSTLY DESERVES IT. You may fool co-education, but you can not fool education. CQ3 WITH OTHER COLLEGES % Our old friend, Bob Miles, a graduate of Davidson in the class of 1909, is evidently quite 'a favorite on the Davidson campus, judging from the style in which an announcement that fee. wouM prsach there was written in.

A new dean of freshmen will take charge of the new students, and will entertain them in a series of banquets and other entertainments in order to get the freshman in love with college life. We will await'the outcome. of this new experiment with a great deal of interest to see how they come out with it. % BULLETIN BOARD % Friday, April 9 7:00 P.M. Ag Club banquet at Smith Hall.

Auburn Foot Prints If we hear of the awnings being singed within the next few days we need not be surprised because we will know where to look for the one responsible for the damage. Lawrence Judkins says that he went to Montgomery the other week and hearing that he was coming they called out the fire department and had all the streets thoroughly sprinkled so that they would not burn up. Even at that all the awnings were ruined as he walked past. We will all have to be on the lookout for this because we do not want all this new pave-men to be ruined in this manner and if we do see it is going to happen we can roll it up every night. * * * * As we all know names mean nothing in Auburn and during the four years spent under the shadows of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute one is liable to have any number of nick names picked up in the spare moments.

St- *P *r *l* Did some one say that they played baseball at Auburn? * * * * Throughout the course of our long, industrious and slightly mismanaged life we have been observant enough to note the fact that Opportunity isn't accustomed to separating the door from the hinges but when she brings herself to our attention by a discreet tapping, Old Dame Opp is as satisfied as if she had loosened the panels in the aforesaid door. This week she dusted her knuckles lightly against our door and we arose and said, "Welcome," and invited her in for a little chat. She refused the invitation but sweetly whispered a secret into our shell-like, cauliflower-ed ear. To this effect: Our dear editor has been most industrious with the editorial typewriter throughout the more or less scholastic year. He has edited on the faculty, on the executive council, the Honor System, the picture show and the picture show orchestra, on any and everything that came under the scrutiny of his eaglelike, editorial optics. Some of the children of his brain have been astonishing and marvelous to' behold, wondrous in their fantasy, mighty in their scope—yet ever have they been creditable to his genius,- always being a distinct resemblance to his mighty, if compact frame. Wherefore, whispered Dame Opp, why not, now that he has relinquished his darling into other hands for the space of one short week, why not take this opportunity of circumventing his overwhelming modesty and edit the editor. Whence this. Long hours we debated amongst ourselves as to the best method of bringing his sterling, 24-carat qualities before the public, and finally decided that one thing of which more anon, would be likely to prevent the Crown of the Queen of May from resting on a Ball. He is blessed with abilities and capabilities. His courageous and straightforward method of attacking the evils of the campus, somewhat after the manner of Saint George and the Dragon, has endeared him to many a champion who is always striving to improve and reform. Too, he is that unique combination, a man's man and a ladies' man (observe the use of the plural). Of small statue we must, perforce, liken him to Napoleon, for who can deny that he has a Napoleonic brain in a Napoleonic figure. That, with his charming smile, ready wit, and warm ready handclasp has made him the bosom friend of the men. To the sweeter, if perfumed sex, he appeals as does an Adonais—and truly he is handsome, and the hand that is so ready on the typewriter is connocted with a silvered tongue that weaves soft speeches on lang-orous nights and has caused many a maiden's .heart to thrill passionately and-long to leave its native* heath and accompany this young Launcelot out into the adventurous world. We all know that he is well known to the Damozels of the Zoo— rumor has it that many a fair one is accustomed to having him darken her doors on an evening, when doubtless, (this is only surmised—but how could she refrain?) she rushes forward to greet' him with outstretched arms.* W Exchanges. « CHOKED She was reading palms at the masquerade dance.

He designed a system that operates on a new and different principle, and that has met with* general acceptance in the Central Station field. He also was active in the recent re-designing of the entire Westinghouse instrument line. It was only a few months after Pierce had completed the graduate student course at Westinghouse that he was given an assignment in the instrument section of the engineering department. He took it merely as a "fill-in" job. Soon he saw that instruments play a vital part in every electrical operation. As an instrument engineer, Pierce spent several weeks on the U. S. S. Tennessee and the Colorado during their trial runs. He has ridden in the cabs of electric locomotives. He is in closer touch with radio than anyone not a radio engineer. A design engineer comes continuously in contact with sales negotiations, and Pierce's contact with them proved so beneficial that he was lately made head of the Instrument Section of the Sales Department, which means that he really has charge of the sale of all instruments to Westinghouse customers. Westinghouse MEMBER SENIOR CLASS SPONSOR IN MONTGOMERY Miss Clara Ellen Yarbrough, of Auburn, a member of the senior class, will represent Auburn at the Governor's mansion prior to the reception to be given at Stone Mountain at which President and Mrs. Coolidge will be present. Miss Yarbrough was the nominee receiving the highest number of votes as a result of a very heated and interesting contest. At the reception at the Governor's mansion Miss Yarbrough will be popularly known as "Miss Auburn," the title being hers for the occasion.

It is especially urged that all engineers coming under the above classifications be there, as in addition to the election, a set of articles governing the selection and actions of the staff are to be passed on. FARMERS ENTER TON - TO - LITTER HOG CONTEST At least one hundred farmers in the state are preparing to take part in the ton-to-litter hog demonstration this year, according to F. W. Burns, extension service specialist. Each farmer who takes part in this contest will endeavor to produce a ton of pork from one litter of pigs in 180 days. Mr. Burns says hat three hundred farmers are scattered over eighteen counties and that Coffee county will have ten and Oale will have seven. Other counties taking part will have from five to seven hogs. This is the first time the idea has been tried in Alabama. BEQUEST ADDS TO LIBRARY OF ARCHITECTURE A portion of the architectural library of the late J. Louis Schillinger of Birmingham who was accidently killed several weeks ago has been given to the Auburn architectural department according to information received by Professor Frederick Child Biggin from William T.

The game was one that furnished few thrills, other than the daring base running by members of the Auburn team. A total of nine bases were stolen by the Tigers, including a double steal in the eighth inning. The Clemson players were weak at •the plate, and failed to score when they got in position to do so. "Cush" Wood, another of those sophomores of Morey's, was in the box for Auburn, this being his first game to start for the varsity. He had the Clemsonites eating out his hand all the way, and struck out five batters in the seventh inning that he worked on the slab. This was the second victory for Wood in the last three days, as he was credited with the win oyer Michigan State here Monday. Wood has a good curve, and a very deceptive delivery, which is very hard for opposing batters to solve. He is sure to get the call for further service before the season is over, and great things are expected of him. ' Bryan started the game on the slab for Clemson, but fared little better than his team mates had fared Tuesday. His offerings were easy for the Auburn men to solve, and he was batted to all corners of the lot, before he was relieved by Long in the seventy. Auburn amassed a total of 12 hits during the afternoon, Hitchcock got a three bagger in the sixth inning for the longest drive of the afternoon. Auburn scored two runs in the -second, when E.

Tech Rats on Hand This Week End for Two Game Series Coach Brown's Men Will Attempt to Revenge Marion Beating Coach "Red" Brown will send his Freshman balltossers into action this week-end when they meet the strong Tech Rat nine on the campus Friday and Saturday. The Frosh were beaten twice by Marion in the opening games of the season, but are expected to come back strong against -the Junior Jackets. Addison McGhee, who thus far looks to be the ace of the Freshman , staff, will probably work one of the ifes, while Strong is listed as the ter in the other. McGhee was beaten in Marion in his first start, but most of the enemy runs came in as a result of miscues by the Freshmen. Strong was nicked for fourteen safeties in the second contest, but has worked well in practice week and will get the call in one of the contests. The initial sack will be taken care of by Jones, Lefty Watwood having "been shifted to the gardens. Jones has shown plenty of form at first, as a result, Watwood, who formerly "held that position, is being used to bolster the outfield, which has not ^shown up any too well to date. The Alex City slugger proved to be a terror to Marion twirlers in the series, two homers being included in his collection. Whitey Smith, who has been making such a good showing at second, will be out of the game on account of illness, his place being taken by Dick Logan, star center on the gridiron team. The shortstop position will be filled by McCrory, another football star, while Appleton, who is one of the best infield prospects, will hold down the hot corner. Lefty Watwood will be aided in the outer gardens by Simpkins and Cannon, both of whom can field well, although their hitting has not been any too impressive of late. Behind the bat will be Claud Wright, assisted by Lawley and Hartselle. Wright, although not any top large, is a good receiver and can handle his pitchers well. Besides McGhee and Strong, Coach Brown's best bets are Beard, Lee, and Ingram. The latter, who played end on the football outfit, came out originally for the backstop position, but the Frosh mentor has spent some time converting him into a hurler. The Wetumpka lad is well built for a twirler, being well over six feet in height and having plenty of strength and endurance. After the series with the Tech Frosh the Rats will rest for a few days and then go down to Troy, to engage the Normal team in a two game series, April 16 and 17. On the following Monday and Tuesday they will come home and entertain the Howard Freshmen, and will go to Atlanta that week-end for a return engegement with the Junior Jackets. "BULLY" HITCHCOCK "PAT" MOULTON ; « HIT AND RUN % It is not hard to see why the Tigers have clawed the Bulldogs, made the Soldiers do an about face, breezed through the Green Wave, and, getting more and more vicious, have driven the Tigers of Clemson back to their South Carolina lair and are now preparing to give the Yellow Jackets a pair of beatings to compensate for the tie game in football last fall. The reason for their strng of victories is that the Plainsmen possess a ten-man team. Of course there are only nine men cavorting on the diamond, as per the .rules, but there sits on the bench a man who plays harder than any of the players, and is in every play heart and soul. That person is "King Dave" the greatest coach in the sunny South. After having two rather mediocre seasons the Tigers are running wild this year. The first game of the season was lost, but the Birmingham Barons were the victors, and the game really ought not to count. Then came a string of seven straight, halted by Tulane in a 4-2. After that the Moreymen have opened the throttle again, and up to the present have not been headed for. four" straight games. And don't forget that four of these eleven victories have been from Conference foes. Auburn athletes will enjoy quite a busy week-end, the tracksters and baseballers all . have . plenty to do.\ The varsity diamonds artists will be away, but the campus will not be entirely devoid of baseball, as the Rats will meet the Tech Rats here. The Rats dropped the first game to Marion, and in dropping the game did everything that should not be done in baseball. However they are expected to do better this time. The trackmen and varsity ballplayers will go to Atlanta for the week-end. The baseball men are going with the fell purpose of disposing of the Tech team in a pair of games, while the cinderpathers will meet the cream of the South in the Tech relays. To get back to the baseball team, we take pleasure in quoting one Mr. Waller, of Georgia, who pitched one whale of a game against the Tigers recently, only to lose on' a combination of Georgia errors and timely Tiger hitting. Brother Waller said that Auburn was the hardest hitting team that he had ever faced and that he failed to find a single weak batter on the entire lineup. In other words the "heavy end" of the line-up extended throughout the entire nine positions. Incidentally, Waller has recently turned in victories over Alabama and Notre Dame, and seems to know his stuff in the pitching line. A new star was uncovered during the" gamqs this week and a strong addition to the Tiger pitching staff was received into the fold.The newest stellar luminary is none other than Col. Cush Wood, the pride of Jasper, who made his collegiate debut last Monday. Although Wood has but recently risen from a bed of sickness he looked like anything, allowing but two hits, and keeping the visitors entirely away frtom the platter. After a day of rest he only allowed four hits in the seven frames that he worked. Needless to say, the Mountain Tigers were not on speaking terms with the plate during this time. This was one of the most impressive debuts ever made by a Tiger twirler. After getting off to a rather slow start in batting the Tigers have begun to swat the pill with a vengeance and the team mark now hovers a-round .300, just missing the charmed circle by a few points. Eight Tigers are in the select •class, six of the eight being regulars. The leading regulars are Seoh Stewart and Ebb James, each of whom pack an average or.395. Next comes Akin with .375, Wallis with .341, Ellis with .339 and Hitchcock with .326. The two pitchers who can also wield a wicked buldgeon are Hughes, with .400 and Potter, wth .333. The leading twirler so far this season is Dog Face Sheridan, the Auburn edition of Walter Johnson. The big boy has taken part in five games, has hurled four complete sets with four victories and no defeats, his last two efforts resulting in shutouts. The second twirler is Cush Wood, who has two victories and no defeats, and has not given up a run in ten innings. Hardwick has turned in two games and Potter has one win to his credit, neither man having lost a game. Moulton and Hughes have each won a game and lost one. If one invites a guest to one's house it is generally expected that said guest will receive fairly courteous treatment. The same rule should apply to visiting ball teams although we are sorry to see that it does not in some cases. In one of the morning practices this week several students with a diseased sense of humor made some remarks to the visiting players that were fondly expected to be witty but succeeded only in making the speakers appear more asinine than they were, if such a thing be possible, and to give the visitors a bad impression of Auburn. Of course, the majority of the stu- Tigers Down Mich. State in the Game Played Here Mon. Morey's Wrecking Crew Gets Into Action in the Sixth; Stewart and Ellis Get Homers The Tigers of the plains downed the Michigan State baseball team here Monday afternoon, in a battle that was replete with thrills and loose fielding on both sides. When the game was called in the 7th, the score stood at 8-5, with the Tigers riding on the long end of the score, way in the first three or four innings, After trying to toss the game a-the Plainsmen got down to real baseball, and looked like they had been looking heretofore. The Moreymen were not alone in the error making, as the Wolverines made a total of four errors, while the Tigers made four. The Staters were out in order in the first inning. Ellis, who lead off for the Tigers got a scratch hit, stole second, and scored on Hitchcock's single to left. Hitchcock stole second and scored "on an error by Michigan's centerfielder. This ended the Tiger's scoring 'til the third inning, when Captain Stewart lifted a line drive over Haskin, in center field for a home run. The Plainsmen did not score again until the sixth inning. The Staters got three runs in the third, when Hood singled to right, went to second on a single off Kuhn's bat, and scored on Haskin's one-bagger to center. Tolles went safe on an error by Stewart, and Kuhn scored. Haskin scored on Fremont's single to left, and Tolles was. thrown out at the plate, retiring the side. Michigan scored two in the 4th, when Baynes went the routs on errors* by Ellis, Maury and Hitchcock. Speiker-man walked, and went to third on Kuhn's single to right. Reinhart flied out to Hitchcock, after Potter had relieved Hardwick, and E. James went in for Maury. Haskin obtained free pass to first, and Tolles singled, scoring Speikerman. Fremont ended the Michigan scoring for the game by forcing Haskin at second. The Tigers started their heavy artillery in the 6th, when Ellis led off with a double to right, and scored on Stewart's double to the same place. Hitchcock fouled out to the catcher, and Wallis was out, second to first. Akin was hit by a pitched ball, and stole second. Stewart and Akin scored when F. James hit a clean singled to right, going to third on an error by Kiebler* Sankey singled to right, scoring James. Sankey stole second, and was thrown out at third trying to steal. This ended the scoring until the seventh, when Ellis, the first up, slapped one down the third base line for a homer. This was the (end of all scoring for the game. For Auburn, Ellis and Stewart led with the stick, Ellis getting a homer a double, and a single out of four trips to the plate. Stewart got a homer and a double out of four tries. Hitchcock, F. James, Wallis, and Sankey got a single each. For Michigan, Knhn was the star with the stick, getting three singles out of three tries. Fremont got two out of four. The score should have been much closer had it not been for loose fielding by both teams. Wood, another Tiger sophomore, pitched in his first game fpr the varsity, and was credited with the victory. He relieved Potter in the fifth inning, and made a very good show*- ing, as he held the Michigan men to two hits over the rest of the route. AUBURN WINS FIRST TILT FROM CLEMSON TIGERS 10-0 Heavy Hitting By Moreymen Is Feature of the Day; "Dawg" In Fine Shape dents are good sports and treat the visiting players with courtesy and consideration and they should make it their business to see that the pea-brained minority do likewise or keep away from the games. The time-honored enemy of the "Tiger of the Plains", the Clemson Tigers, came, saw, and lost, bowing to the heavy onslaughts of the sophomores from Auburn. A total of fifteen hits were gleaned off the delivery of three Clemson hurlers, in the course of the nine innings. The team that took the field for Auburn looked entirely different from the one that played Michigan State;here Monday. They went the entire game without making a single miscue, and only four men were allowed to arrive safely at first base during the game. The infield looked like a major league combination, and only a very few balls were allowed to reach the outer defense. The Clemsonites were unable to hit "Dawg" Sheridan's curves and fast balls. He allowed Milling, Clemson second sacker to get a double off his delivery in the first of the inning, and that was the only hit obtained off him during the six frames he worked on the hill. Not a man was safe at first during the next five inning!. In the fourth inning, "Dawg" retired the Clemsonites on four pitched balls. He had them whiffing the ozone, and biting the dust at every turn striking out seven men in six innings. This is the third conference victory for "Dawg" this year, and if he keeps up his present pace, there will likely' be a place on the Al-Southern nine this year for him. "Lefty" Hughes, who relieved Sheridan in the seventh, did some nice hurling. He allowed the opposition two hits during his three inning stay on the mound, striking out three men in the meantime. Hughes also contributed a double in the eighth, to the list of hits and scored on Ellis' single. Nothing of importance happened in the first inning, for either team. In the last half of the second, the Auburnites batted all the way around and started over again. A total of six hits and six runs were garnered off Long and Hayne. Akin, F. James, and Sankey singled in succession and Akin and James scored on an error by McGill. Sheridan drove a long one down the $hird base line for a home run, scoring Sankey ahead of him. Ellis singled, stole second, and scored on Stewart's singled Stewart went to second on an error by Hudgens, stole third, and home. Wallis flied out to end the inning. Auburn came back in the third, and scored when Sankey hit the pill over Moore's head, for a homer They counted again in the sixth when sin-gles by E. James, Sheridan, and Hitchcock, and* a base on balls sent two runs across the plate. Hughes scor-ed in the eighth, when he doubled, and came home on Each team its credit. had a Ellis' singl e. double play to Sankey lead the attack with three hits out of the three trips up, one being a homer. Sheridan, Hitchcock, E. hits each to James Ellis,, contributed two the total For Clemson, Jones, Hudgens got This gives Milling, and one hit each.

This gave the Tigers a record of three victories and one defeat for the Gulf Coast trip. • Sheridan was in perfect form, having all his old time stuff, and as a result the Greenies had to be content with two hits, while the Plainsmen were making six. The first and deciding run was pushed over when Captain Stewart pasted a mighty triple far out into centerfield. x The first game was lost in the first inning, when a combination of hits and Auburn errors netted four Tulane runs.

Every member of the society is urged to take part in this debate and make it one- of the best ever held between the societies. WIRT SOCIETY HAS IMPROMPTU PROGRAM TUES. The Wirt Literary Society held its regular meeting in Wirt hall, Tuesday night. Due to a misunderstanding concerning the program an impromptu program was given under the dicection of the president. The first speaker on the program was F. L. Brown, who spoke on "The Double Standard." The speaker pointed out that we have one standard for men and another for women. L. J. Maxwell chose as his subject "Resolved, That Billboards Should Not Be Allowed in the United States." His reasons .for not having billboards were: first, many are made of wood which is badly needed for other purposes; second, since many are made of wood they should not be allowed in cities because of danger of fire; third, they endanger the health of the people by hiding garbage. Earle Cason told us about what four years in literary society had meant to him. True to the traditions of Dutch hospitality, the University of Leyden, Holland's oldest institution of learning, founded by William the Silent in 1574 and located in the historic city of Leyden, extends an invitation to the students of this and other American colleges to spend one week within its halls during the coming summer. This announcement has just been made by the Netherland American Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street., New York. A sei'ies of special lectures, social events and sight seeing expeditions July 5 to 10 has been arranged by the University for the purpose of familiarizing American students with Dutch ilfe and learning, after the manner of the "Netherlands Week for American Students" which was observed at Leyden in 1924. Free board and room are offered to a limited number of American students by the Netherland American Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street, New York. The lectures are offered free of charge by the University to all who may wish to attend. The University of Leyden, like the city of Leyden, abounds in historic interest. It was here that 'S Gravesande first introduced demonstration apparatus into the teaching of physics, some two hundred years ago. The first set of apparatus made by 'S Gravesande and his friend Jan van Musschenbroek is" still on exhibition at the University. It was here that Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, two hundred and fifty years ago, performed the experiments that earned for him the title of the Father of Bacteriology and Zoology. As recently as 1908, at the University of The speaker pointed out the many benefits to be derived thru conscientious effort in literary work. To show appreciation for their,high standards and efforts in behalf of literary society work the following were elected to honorary membership in the Wirt: Prof. Harry L. Hamilton, and W. A. Garrett. The program committee then discussed future plane for programs and hinted that a surprise would be pulled in the near future. i L e y d e n , Professor Kammerlingh Ornes first discovered how to liquefy helium. Lectures in English, directly bearing on these discoveries and the later developments of Dutch scientists, will comprise the curriculum of the 1926 "Netherlands Week for American Students." Dr. W. H. Keesom will perform experiments in the liquefaction of helium: Dr. H. A. Lorenz will lecture on "Physics in the New and Old World:" Dr. W. Einthoven on "Thin Threads and the String Galvanometer;" Dr. P. Ehrenfest on "The Theoretical Background of Modern Experimental Research in Holland; Dr. J. .van der Hoeve on "Functions of the Eye;" Dr. W. J. deHaas on "Molecular and Electronic Physics;" Dr. C. A. Crommlein on "Instrument Making" and Dr. W. H. van Seters on "The Work of Anthony van Leeuwenhoek." Apart from these lectures, the week will include sight seeing around Leyden where the Pilgrim Fathers lived before coming to America in 1620, evening trips to Dutch seaside resorts, an inspection of the Peace Palace and the World Court at The Hague; the Royal Art Galleries where the paintings of Rembrandt and other Dutch masters are exhibited; tea with the American Minister at The Hague; a visit to Haarlem and the Frans Hals Museum; excursions to Amsterdlam, Marken and Volendam, if desired. Students wishing a more extensive tour of Holland than will be possible during the Netherlands Week for American Students" are invited to communicate with the Netherland America Foundation regarding a preliminary tour which will be.arranged by the Official Tourist Office of the Dutch government for the three days preceding July 5. This tour will include Amsterdam and the Rijks Museum, the "Dam" and the diamond cutting factories; Colendam and Mar-ken, Alkmaarm, Aalsmeer and Utrecht. Holland, with its tulip gardens, its canals and its windmille is the most picturesque of countries. The city of Leyden is beautifully situated among lakes, dunes and pastoral scenes. It is twenty minutes by train from The Hague, but a short distance from Delft, where Hugo Grotius was born, and from Rotterdam, Holland's principal seaport. Haarlem is less than fifty minutes away. • Leyden itself is the seat of many museums w * * hen the runners are bunched on the track—and suddenly Chuck, your own superman half-miler, spurts ahead on the finish and wins —have a Camel!

AUBURN WOMAN OF YESTERDAY IS TOPIC FOR TALK Address on "The Auburn Woman of My Day" by Miss Mary Robinson of Birmingham was one of the outstanding features of the annual banquet of Auburn graduates held in the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel during the meeting of the Alabama Educational Association. Miss Robinson received the B.S. degree "at Auburn in 1899. She has been connected with the high schools in Birmingham for several years. Miss Robinson told Auburn men that the Auburn woman of her day did not paint except with the blushing modesty of making an error in class, nor did she drink from the fountain of knowledge. "Not wanted by the male contingent, the Auburn woman of my day," the speaker continued,' "was compelled to make herself liked and useful. She did this by coaching the boys in some of the more difficult branches and at the same time have the-boys feel that they were taking the lead. "The boys had a choice of curriculum, being required to take only one foreign language while the girls were required to take Latin, French, and German, the faculty believing apparently that one tongue was not enough for a woman. "The,, habits of the Auburn girl of my day were simple, being hedged about by the conventions of the day. The girl was never invited nor expected to attend class meetings when election of officers took place. Nor ware they invited to membership in any of the literary societies. If the girls attended they went under escort simply to furnish dignity and atmosphere to the occasion, and while the girls easily led their classes in scholarship they were far too keen to refer to it? .- , iLEE CLUB TRIP SET .

MAKES ADDRESS AT WEBSTERIAN TAU BETA PI'S ONSTRUCTING JEW EMBLEM Preliminary to their formal initiation, the pledges of Tau Beta Pi, national engineering honor fraternity, are constructing the emblem of the society, in concrete, on the terrace in front of Ramsay Hall. The custom in the past has been for the pledges to build the emblem on the campus in front of Langdon- Hall, using wooden strips and covering it with cloth, but with the erection of the new Ramsay Hall, it was thought better to let the present class of initiates make something permanent. The men expect to complete their work by the latter part of the week. r BURNS & STACY Licensed Student Electrician Anything Electrical " Contract and Repair Work Phone 155-W r - -\ / The regular business for the Webs-terian Literary society in the beginning of the hour was short.

There being no other business the president introduced the speaker for the evening, Professor Daugherity of the English department. Professor Daugherity announced his subject as "What Does It Take to' Be Successful." The address was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire number present as shown by their undivided attention. Calling to mind such men as Rupert Hughes, John Erskine, Conrad Nagel, and several successful women who were acquaintances of his, Professor'Daugherity outlined their program of work whereby they achieved so-called success by the general public. These men and women worked to get what they Were after. "To attain greatness means hard work," stated Professor Daugherity. "Decide what you want to do and keep ever after it is the requisite for success which when attained will be recognized by the world at large."

The program opened with several ukelele selections by Minette Thomas and Lucile Totty, which made many of the Ag boys, including "Doc" Small, yearn for the wide Qpen spaces where the moon shines brightly and the frogs hold forth in their nightly setto.
