Education Bears The Burden
TOTAL STATE DEFICIT $4,732,955.56
The estimated state deficit for the fiscal year 1935-36 is $4,732,-
955.56. Of this deficit, education bears $4,344,463.66, or 91.6 per
cent. Health and T. B. Hospitals share $226,522, or 4.8 per cent,
and all other services only $171,969.90, or 3.6 per cent.
To date schools have closed in forty counties. College teachers
are being paid only part salary. All executive and. judicial depart­ments
are paid 100 per cent and salaries of their employees are paid
in full.
Like discrimination against education appropriations has con­tinued
since 1929-30. FiVe legislative sessions, two regular and three
special, have failed to remedy the situation. Will the present session
pass remedial measures?
Student Declaration Presented
Reviewing what we have done to date for the financial relief of edu­cation
in Alabama, we, the students of Auburn make the following
declarations:
(1) Our work has been, is now, and will continue to be purely edu­cational.
We are trying to inform the people of Alabama of the financial
status of their schools. We are absolutely opposed to any system which
balances the State's budget at the expense of education which means at
the expense of the future citizens of the State. We can see, for example,
no fairness or justice in court officials being paid their full salaries to
try criminals while teachers who are teaching wholesome boys and girls
to be better and more useful citizens, instead of criminals, are being paid
only sixty per cent or even none of their small salaries. But we are
not for pulling courts down; instead we are for raising schools up.
(2) We have taken no stand either for or against any revenue or
tax measure. We are students in an outstanding institution of higher
learning and we realize that it is not our business to intrude into the
perogatives of our legislature whose duty it is to attend to revenue
affairs.
(3) Contrary to certain charges which have been made in the press
and over the radio, our work ts not political and it is purely voluntary
on our part. We are not babies. We modestly admit that we are old
enough and intelligent enough to act for ourselves. Many of us al­ready
vote and all others will be in a very few years. We are vitally
concerned because any good educational institution is run primarily
for its students and unless that institution is financed adequately it can­not
serve efficiently and effectively those who attend its classes.
(4) When education is paid state appropriations in full rather
than 26.43 per cent as at present there will be no need for the work
which we are doing, and, hence, it will end. If this had been done all
the while there would have been no occasion for our action.
(5) We realize that certain enemies to education and other social
services are saying that we are being misused. Our reply to these
charges is that those who make them should confine their statements
to the facts. Anyone who does not do this is not entitled to a hearing.
Any intelligent man who has read our statements has not misunder­stood
them. They know that our only aim is financial justice for educ-cation.
(6) We repledge ourselves, individually and collectively, to continue
our work without criticism or attack until public education in Alabama
receives financial justice. When this is attained and, as long as it is
maintained, nothing will be heard from us. In fairness to all we ask
nothing more and we shall be satisfied with nothing less.
Contrary to the statement of Dr. L. N. Duncan, the suspension of
classes this week is not "due as a regular Easter recess." Mo such re­cess
is provided in the college calendar; therefore it is not "regular."
The recess was asked for by students for the purpose stated above.
STUDENTS WILL
CANVASS STATE
FOR EDUCATION
Another Resolution Presented
To Student Body At Mass
Meeting Here Last Night
STUDENTS LEAVE TODAY
Auburn Student Group Meets
With Considerable Success
On Road Jaunt Last Week
A final last-minute summarization
in the form of another resolution was
presented to the student body last
night as practically one-third of those
present were planning to leave today
in a state-wide plea for financial aid
for education.
A large number have already left,
and a still larger number are expected
to leave today as student interest in
the question has reached unexpected
heights. The resolution or declaration
presented last night was to the effect
that the Auburn student movement
has no connection with various pro­posed
revenue raising measures, but
is only to inform the people of the
financial status of the State's educa­tion
system.
Last Wednesday a committee of
four students left Auburn on a 1000-
mile jaunt through North Alabama
on which they contacted five state
supported institutions for assistance
in a general student movement for
education. They were Montevallo,
Livingston, University of Alabama,
Florence and Jacksonville.
In all instances, it was reported,
the Auburn^ group met with a decid­edly
favorable reception, and assist­ance
in one form or another was prom­ised
by each school. The stay at each
place was too short to allow for the
making of any definite plans, how­ever.
Along the way the group also visited
numerous county and city papers in
an effort to gain their support in the
general student movement. In many
cases it was necessary to convince the
editors that students were not cam­paigning
for a sales tax which is the
general opinion throughout the state.
In many instances the paper was won
over to the side of the students.
Those in this group last week were
Hardie Deer, Joe Sarver, C. W. Wal­ter,
and B. H. Johnson. They re­turned
to Auburn Saturday.
Monday night in Broun Auditorium,
37 students from six different south
eastern counties met with their re­spective
county leaders to discuss
plans of action this week.
It was especially urged that each
student fully acquaint himself with
the facts concerning the problem in
order that he can inform all the
people in his county. It was further
suggested that each student wherever
possible present the facts in talks' at
school meetings, before local civic
clubs, and in individual contacts. An
attempt will be made to obtain some
time over the Dothan radio station.
Five Are Selected
By Electrical
Society
At a regular meeting Monday night,
Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, national
electrical engineering honor society,
elected five Juniors to be eligible for
membership in the society.
The men elected are: Herman J.
Gauggel, Fairfield; Richard H. Wood,
Abbeville; Robert G. Johnson, Selma;
J. A. Zwinakis, New Britain, Conn.;
G. H. (Pat) Plumlee, Birmingham.
These new men are to be formally rec­ognized
in the near future, and the in­itiation
ceremony will follow in a few
weeks.
The Auburn chapter of Eta Kappa
Nu has been active in promoting bet­ter
scholarship among Electrical En­gineering
students, and gives a cup
each fall to the Sophomore who made
the best record during his Freshman
year.
New officers of Xi Chapter for the
next school year were also elected at
the recent meeting. They are: Presi­dent,
H. H. Calien; Vice-president, L.
C. Balch; Secretary, H. H. Davis;
Treasurer, A. Baker Dean.

Auburn will continue its "Education
Through Travel" by offering a tour to
Washington and New York for the
summer of 1936. This course will be
given as. an approximately 3000 mile
motor bus tour of the East touching
eleven states and the District of Co­lumbia.
The class will leave Auburn Sun­day,
June 7 and will tour for fifteen
days. After the tour the class will re­turn
to Auburn to complete the course.
While the tour gives special atten­tion
to the cities of Washington and
New York, it does not overlook the
many points of natural interest along
the route. Visits will be made to the
University of Virginia and Edgar Al­len
Poe's room, and to the homes of
Jefferson, Lee, and Washington. Many
of the battlefields of the War Between
the States in Northern Virginia will
be visited. The tour will cover the
complete length of the Shenandoah
Valley.
In New York, visits will be made to
the new Radio Gfity, Empire State
Building, water front, Chinatown,
Wall Street, Metropolitan Museum of
Art, American Museum of Natural
History, and many other places of in­terest.
Those completing the course satis­factorily
will be given three semester
hours of credit. While this course is
not listed as a graduate course, it can
be used toward the master's degree
as part of the six hours allowed off
the campus.
Registration for the course should
be made in advance with the director
of the tour, Walter M. Jackson, Sel­ma,
Alabama. Since the class is lim­ited
to bus capacity, students will be
accepted in order of their registration
only as long as there is transportation
space available.
By two o'clock this afternoon Bobby Chesnutt with 175 votes to his
credit was way out in front in the race for editor of the Plainsman. Alvin
Morland was second with 91, and Kay Sibert third with 2. This is the
complete count of all voting up to 2 o'clock this afternoon, with 268
ballots being cast.
By a slim margin of less than a score of votes M. C. Shannon was
leading V. B. Rhodes for business manager of the Plainsman. Shannon
had garnered 142 votes to 126 for Rhodes.
Sammy Gibbons, with 143 votes in his favor by 2 o'clock, has practically
cinched the race for editor of the Glomerata. Frank McCall was second
with a 67 vote count and Helen Tig­ner
third with 64.
Pat Plumlee was unopposed for
business manager of the Glomerata.
By a comfortable margin Charlie
Lawrence led his two competitors in
the race for president of the senior
class. His count was 131. Dick
Charleton had 81 votes, Charles An­derson
65.
Bobby Johnson had a slight lead
for vice president of the senior class,
with 116. Billy Wallace was second
with 107, and C. N. Wood third with
40.
Byron Co wart was way out in
front for secretary of the class. He
had garnered 159 votes to 99 for
Edwin Briggs.
Weatherby, with 227 votes, had
almost a 200-point lead late this af­ternoon
for treasurer of the class.
Joseph Swinakis was given 40 votes.
Ben Vail was unopposed for class
historian.
Without opposition in the election
today Joe Sarver will be president of
the Executive Cabinet .next year;
Herman Laatsch, secretary.
Although not all votes had been
counted at press time, J. M. Dennis
appeared to be leading the race for
president of the Y. M. C. A. The
other candidate for this position is
J. T. Miller.
By a close margin C. M. Pruet
was leading for vice president of the
organization against J. D. Turner.
Vote counting was complete up to
2 o'clock only for the senior class
officers and publication heads.
According to a hasty survey, Red
Duncan seemed to be ahead for presi­dent
of the junior class, however he
was closely tallied by Jarvis Brown
and Jack Adams.
Vote count on other officers had
not progressed far enough to ven­ture
any guess as to the outcome.
Complete results for all offices will
be announced in the Plainsman next
Wednsday.
Every druggist in Alabama is in­vited
to attend the first annual Re­tail
Druggists' Business Conference to
be held at Auburn on Wednesday,
April 15.
Problems of vital importance to
druggists will be discussed at the one-day
session which begins at 8 o'clock
in Ross Chemical Laboratory and
comes to a climax that evening with
an elaborate banquet and address by
Dr. Towns R. Leigh, dean at the Uni­versity
of Florida. Dr. L. S. Blake,
head of Auburn's department of phar­macy,
also announced that a full pro­gram
of addresses by the South's most
prominent pharmacists and round-table
discussions of practical and pro­fessional
problems had been arranged.
Among the speakers will be Dr.
Douglas L. Cannon of the State de­partment
of health; N. G. Hubbard,
Birmingham, president of the Ala­bama
Pharmaceutical Association;
and Sinclair Jacobs, Atlanta, presi­dent
of Jacobs Pharmacies, Inc.
Following the afternoon session, all
of which will be held in Ross Lab­oratory,
the visitors will probably at­tend
the varsity baseball game, Au­burn
vs. the University of Florida.
Dr. Blake expects at least 150 or
200 of Alabama's retail druggists to
attend the conference which is to be
an annual meeting at Auburn. There
are some 850 druggists in Alabama;
all are invited to send representatives,
he said. Assisting Dr. Blake and his
staff with arrangements for the meet­ing
are members of Rho Chi, Auburn's
pharmaceutical society. Prof. George
Hargreaves will preside at one of the
sessions.
Bill Lee Is Chosen
Head Cheerleader
Bill Lee was chosen as head cheer­leader
for the 1936 football season by
members of the "A" Club at a meet­ing
Monday night.
Lee will succeed Bill McTyeire in
this capacity. The other three cheer­leaders
will be chosen at a mass meet­ing
during the early part of next fall.
One will be selected from each class.
Tigers Win Two Games
Over Oglethorpe Here
The Auburn Tigers came through to
win both of their games with Ogle­thorpe
on Friday and Saturday of last
week by the scores of 7-6 and 8-4.
In the first game on Friday, a three
run rally by the Petrels fell one run
short of tying the score. Alternate-
Captain Morris, who only allowed five
hits in the entire game, put on the
steam and prevented the Oglethorpe
batsmen from bringing any more run­ners
across the plate.

Students And Politics
As we expected several months ago when
plans were in a formative stage, whatever
Auburn students decided to do about edu­cation
would be dragged into state politics.
The political angle is brought in by those
totally ignorant of the facts.
In connection with the two mass meet­ings
held here last week two points must
be brought to a clear focus. First it must
be understood that the college had nothing
whatsoever to do with the. affair. The in­itiative
was taken entirely by students.
Planning started several months ago and
came to a head last week. Several men
connected with the college were called upon
as a source of information concerning the
problem, but other wise they were out of
the picture and had nothing to do with the
promotion of the student movement.
The second point to be made absolutely
clear is that the students are not in any
form or fashion advocating a revenue rais­ing
measure. At neither of the two meet­ings
last week was there any mention made
of taxation. Students will go home this
week with one definite purpose in mind:
they will be well fortified with authentic
facts to show beyond a doubt that something
must be done for education. That is all
they can do.
Just how to go about remedying the sit­uation
is up to the legislature. That is
their problem. All the students will do is
show in as forceful a manner as possible
the great need for immediate action. Then
it is up to the legislature. It is up to Gov.
Graves to fulfill his promise made last
year. He said the little red school house
would remain open. It hasn't. Graves and
the legislators appear to be oblivious to
this fact, and this week the students of
Auburn will do what they can to open their
eyes.
Man And Education
Historians and archeologists tell us that
50,000 years ago mankind lived in caves and
trees, had no clothes except such as could
be made from skins of animals which they
had learned to kill, and that their only food
consisted of nature's products as they found
them. They knew not how to build homes
or clothe themselves; and the science of
food preparation was unknown to them.
They were untrained humans surrounded
by nature in the raw.
This picture may appear extreme, but the
fact remains that life 50,000 years ago—
or even 500 years ago—was crude and cruel
compared with life in civilized countries in
1936. .
Retrospection reveals that human beings
have learned to build comfortable homes, to
make and wear beautiful clothes, and to
prepare food properly for nourishing the
body in accordance with the wise laws of
nature.
. All this has been a process of education.
Without education mankind would still be
in caves and in trees and living as ancient
men lived. Where there is now civiliza­tion
and culture there would be savagery
and chaos.
It is true, also that mankind has made
greater progress within the last half cen­tury
than during any entire previous cen­tury
known to history. This "half cen­tury"
probably can be limited to a quarter
of a century.
And a striking fact about it is that pub­lic
education has reached its greatest peak
within the last quarter of a century—the
period when progress grew most and served
best to date. Enrollment in public schools,
high schools, colleges, and universities
doubled and trebled; and these institutions
of learning sought—and are seeking—dili-.
gently to adjust themselves for the most
efficient service to mankind in all his prob­lems.
Without education of the right kind there
is no progress. In fact, progress is meas­ured
by education. Where illiteracy and
ignorance predominate human beings either
stand still or decay.
It is wise and proper, therefore, that each
state make adequate provision for the edu­cation
of its boys and girls to equip them
to live better, to serve better, and to be
better citizens. In the light of history we
can't afford to do otherwise. This is, in
our judgment, the paramount problem be­fore
the Alabama Legislature. We hope
that it will be solved in such a way as
to enable Alabama to go forward and hold
her place with the advancing steps of civi­lization.
The legislature is being told, of course,
that education is expensive. If so, illiteracy
and ignorance are much more expensive};
and so the question arises: Shall we edu­cate
at a reasonable expense or have illiter­acy
and ignorance at a very high expense?
If you vote for illiteracy and ignorance
you vote also for economic distress, mental
chaos, and moral decay; if you vote for
education you vote for the reverse of these.
Will College Men Ever Grow Up?
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series
of articles on random subjects as were de­livered
by newly elected members to Phi
Kappa Phi at their annual initiation ban­quet
held recently.
"Hell Week Bust Go" was the declaration
of fraternity leaders and deans of men at
a interfraternity conference in New York
last Thanksgiving. A resolution calling up­on
student organization and faculty com­mittees
to cooperate in eradicating all prac­tices
resembling Hell Week antics. Albert
K. Heckel, dean of men at the Unievrsity
said:
"Are we afraid to grow up? Are we
going to continue with a lot of adult in­fantilism
and worse? I believe that Mr.
Wilbur W. Walden struck a very fine note
when he said that we must consider not
merely Hell Week, but certain customs in
our chapters. As I see it, these customs
assert themselves throughout the year and
are rolled into one accumulated force in
Hell Week. Those customs destroy the in­itial
loyalty and an initial devotion to his
fraternity thqt a pledge makes for him­self.
He suffers disillusionment when
things which are not fraternal appear in
the routine of his life through the year."
"Hell Week" and other forms of hazing
are out-of-date, brutal, and undemocratic.
Auburn organizations would do well to con­fer
with one another and eliminate prac­tices
which are popular because they are
childish, primitive, sadistic, and essentially
immoral.—James E. Vance.
The Rumor Is Right
There has been some talk circulated
about the campus that assistance was given
one of the candidates in helping him put
out his issue of the Plainsman. This is
absolutely true. But also is it true that
assistance was given the other two candi­dates
as well.
It was not expected that each of the
candidates would put out an issue of the
paper without any assistance whatsoever.
That would be expecting too much. But in
the main each candidate was given the op­portunity
to do as much as he could in
order that his issue was unmistakably the
product of his own hard work and not that
of somebody else's. If he wanted a certain
story to go in number three column on the
front page under a 30-point cap head, that
is exactly where that story went.
Each of the three candidates have a
pretty thorough idea of what it is all about.
When he or she begin work next fall, it
won't be an entirely new experience. They
will have considerable definite knowledge
to fall back upon.
Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
I have noticed that several of your re­porters
have been employing long words of
late. It is my opinion that literary as­pirants
should religiously eschew polysyl­labic
orthography. The philosophical and
phisological substructure of this principle is
ineluctable. Excessively attenuated verbal
sybols inevitably induce unnecessary com­plexity
and consequently exaggerate the ob-fuscation
of the mentality of the peruser.
Conversely, expressions which are reduced
to the furthermost minimum of simplifi­cation
and compactness, besides contribut­ing
realistic verisimilitude, constitute a
much less onerous handicap to the reader's
perspicacity. Observe, for instance, the un­mistakable
and inescapable expressiveness
of onomatopoetic, interjectional, monosyl­labic
utterances, especially when motivated
under strenous emotional circumstances.
How much more appealing is their euph­onious
pulchitrude than the preposterous
and pretentious pomosity of elongated ver­biage.
• Sincerely,
IMA STUDENT.

When Fred Lemmer, student at the Uni­versity
of Minnesota meets his English pro­fessor,
Mr. Weaver, they both blush slightly.
Over a period of many weeks, Mr. Lemmer
has broken all records for arriving late to
Mr. Weaver's first hour class. His alibis
have varied: "My alarm clock is broken"
or "There was a traffic jam" or "My car
busted down."
Finally Mr. Weaver snarled, "Next time
you'll tell me your house burned down."
Last week Mr. Lemmer was late again.
During the night his house had burned
down.

The new movement in American colleges
(first told about in this column some weeks
ago) to organize chapters of the VFW or
"Veterans of Future Wars" is growing
rapidly. Nineteen local cells of the society
are now functioning in 19 different colleges.
Princeton has been the most active and
their work has stirred up a testy reply
from the national head of the real VFW.
Even the coeds have fallen in with the
idea—several chapters of Gold Star Future
Mothers of Veterans having been formed
after the first one started at Vassar.
At the University of Chicago a search
is on for one member of the VFW to be
chosen as Unknown Soldier for the Future
War. The girls there are already choosing
their society emblem. It is to be a blue
eagle on a crossed hammer and sickle and
holding in its beak a swastika and under
its wings a fasces.
* * * *
Chief goal now is a $1,000 bonus for each
future veteran—to be paid ahead of time
of course, in order that the initiation of the
real VFW and American Legion may be as
faithful as possible.

Fantasy—A Very Short Story
"Oh, what a day," I thought, "to be out
in the country instead of this noisy old city."
The weather was all one could wish for in a
perfect summer morning. Blue sky, a few
scattered clouds that reminded one of rag­ged
balls of cotton, roughly chewed by some
happy, frolicking puppy, a light warm
breeze, and all of nature's beautiful handi­work
on exhibition. About the only regret
one could have was that not much "of the
handiwork could be seen for this was a sum­mer's
day in a modern city. However the
city did not subtract from the glorious
weather.
I thought of little, striding down the rath­er
crowded sidewalk, indeed I cared not to
think. I was in a happy frame of mind,
and could, I believe, have burst out in a
fit of uncontrollable laughter for the pure
enjoyment of mirth. I fancy there might
have been a faint smile on my lips if any­one
had noticed.
The-crowd, however, did not seem to feel
the exuberence of the day as I did. Most
of the people were hurrying from one store
to another. Some were "window shopping,"
and others striding as though their very life
depended on it. In some places the sidewalk
was crowded, and in others only a few wor­ried
looking persons busied themselves.
While in one of these lesser crowded areas
I noticed a small red and pink handkerchief
on the sidewalk. Naturally enough I stooped
to pick it up and return the whisp of cloth
to the person who dropped it.
The minute I had the handkerchief in my
hand I realized my mistake. I had not seen
anyone drop it! It might have been there
on the cement for only a moment or possibly
an hour. My face colored to the roots of
my hair, and I straightened up with an em­barrassing
jerk. What a fool I was to ever
have stooped to retrieve an insignificant
handkerchief. Every one must think me a
fool indeed. My God! it seems as though
everyone has stopped to peer at me in my
awkward position. They are! Now what
am I to do? Is that laughter I hear? Are
they laughing at me? Why of course they
must be making fun of me. Me! Oh! Lord
what a situation for me to bear the brunt of.
I must get away from here, anywhere just
to escape that mocking crowd. Lord! will
I ever move? Faces, faces, thousands of
them, and smiles and sneering eyes. Every­thing
has gone mad, the whole world is spin­ning!
Faces, feet, sidewalks, scarlet hand­kerchiefs—
all revolving around and aruond
down a crazy vortex of dizziness! At last
a protecting doorway! What a relief to be
out of that street. Better rest, yes, of
course I need some rest! Sit down on these
hallway steps for a moment! Ah, that's
better.
Feel rested now, guess I can move on now.
Thank goodness no one seems to notice me.
Probably been sitting in that hallway for
some time. Not a bad idea, that. Gave the
crowd a chance to move on. Guess I'll go
across the street to that department store
corner, and hail a cab. Don't feel much like
walking.
* * * *
"Hey Joe, listen to this. It says in to­night's
paper that a young man was picked
up in front of Martin's Department Store
this morning after collapsing from a great
shock."
"Yeah! well what's so peculiar about
that? People faint every day."
"Not the way this one did. Here's what a
woman bystander says: 'I was admiring a
display of beautiful red and pink handker­chiefs,
when I happened to glance to one
side. A pale young man walked rather ner­vously
up to the corner, and started to hail
a cab. By chance he glanced at the store
window in front of me, and gave a terrify­ing
scream, falling to the sidewalk in a
faint.' The article goes on to say that on
examination at Bellevue Hospital, the opin­ion
is, 'Hopelessly insane'."
"Gosh, that's too bad, rather odd too."
"Certainly is. Well, can't worry about
other people, too much to take care of one's
own troubles as it is. Shall we take a short
walk?"
"O. K., feel like a bit of exercise after
this perfectly glorious day."—W. C. F.

Old Timer of Auburn And Member of College Faculty For

customs which are outlined by Prof.

X-RAY FOR ART'S SAKE
TS there a portrait of Great Uncle Ezra
T" gathering dust in the attic? It may pay to
x-ray Uncle before handing him over to the
junkman, for behind Ezra's imposing whiskers
may be hiding the sister of the Mona Lisa.
Not long ago, a portable G-E X-Ray Cor­poration
unit disclosed a valuable canvas by
the seventeenth-century artist, Goya, con­cealed
under an apparently worthless picture.
More recently a New Orleans painter and art
expert has used the x-ray to discover a genuine
da Vinci signature beneath layers of paint
applied by a later and less-capable artist. A
sister painting to the newly found da Vinci
recently sold for a quarter of a million dollars.
The x-ray does more than discover lost Old
Masters; it tells how the great artists of the
past worked. A series of radiographs can dis­close
the full story of their brushwork from
the first sketch to the last correction. The
art student of today, by an intelligent use of
the x-ray, is in a position to take lessons from
the geniuses of the past.
MORE BRIGHT SPOTS ON THE GLOBE
' | ' H E mellow, golden-orange glow of sodium
lighting is springing up all across the con­tinent.
The latest installation, the largest in
the United States, is located in the state of
Washington. Here sixty-six 10,000-lumen Gen­eral
Electric units line almost three miles of
the four-lane Pacific highway between Tacoma
and Fort Lewis.
Less than three years ago the sodium lamp
made its first American appearance on a high­way
near Schenectady. Today the largest
installation is on the Pacific coast, and the
second-largest is at Lynn, Mass., on the
Atlantic. In between, highways, bridges,
traffic circles, and underpasses are being
lighted for safety with these new luminaires,
and G-E sodium lighting units have been
installed in Canada, Hawaii, India, Spain,
South Africa, Dutch East Indies, and Brazil.
NO CLICK!
' I'HE life of the party, coming home with the
•*• milkman, need no longer fear the betraying
click of the light switch if his house wiring
includes the latest electric switch developed
in the G-E Research Laboratory.
Two shallow chrome-steel cups, sealed to­gether
with a strip of glass, form the two
contacts. A ceramic disk with a hole in it, and
a few drops of mercury, partly fill the enclosure
between the cups. The device is filled with
hydrogen and sealed by welding. In the
"off' position, the hole in the disk is above the
mercury level. A rotation of twenty degrees
to the "on" position permits the mercury
to flow through the hole and make the electric
connection.
The time-honored click of the switch is abol­ished.
In the laboratory in Schenectady, one
of these mercury switches has turned a 200-
watt lamp on and off some 65 million times
in the last two years, and there are no signs of
wearing out or failure.

told is about the market which was
located at about the same place as
Moore's Market is today. It was only
occasionally that the market had
fresh meat for sale. On the days
that patrons could buy meat the bell
on the top of the store was rung.
Once there were a number of life-size
classic statutes made of plaster
cast ordered for the library. Some
of the women of the town decided
there were not enough drapery on
the statutes, so they started a cru­sade
which ended by their dressing
the statutes in yellow pleated silk
kilts.
Drums beat from 5:30 to 6:00 in
the morning for students to arise. If
the student lived within one mile of
the school, he must go to roll call.
Then he returned and waited for
drums to beat again. At this signal
he went to school, and duties com­menced
at 7:45.
There was another roll call at 1
o'clock, after which classes were ex­cused
for lunch. At 2 o'clock classes
were resumed. From then until 4
o'clock students were not allowed
to be seen on the streets.
A bell rang at 6 o'clock which was
a signal that all students were to go
home. Drums beat at 9:30, and no
student could go to bed until then.
At 10 o'clock drums sounded again,
and that meant all students were to
be in bed.
On Friday nights members of.fra­ternities
were permitted to go to fra­ternity
meetings. In order to visit
another student, one had to write a
special request to officials for appro­val
before he could be seen on the
streets.
A group of Negro boys formed a
military company and drilled on the
vacant lot on which Toomer's Drug
Company is now located. The com­pany
was known as the Auburn Black
Guards.
On Sunday mornings the roll was
called at 10:45. Students gathered
in front of the main building, Sam-ford
Hall, and formed companies.
They then marched to the different
churches with officials whose duty it
was to see that the students behaved.
Sunday night church attendance was
not compulsory. On that night the
students could take a girl to church.
This was the only night in the week
that students had permission to go
out.

There is no longer any need to send your drycleaning to Atlanta, Montgomery,
or Birmingham to be Sanitoned'-Your Own Hometown Laundry, The Ideal, is
Introdi ucmg • • • SANITONE
The Revolutionary Cleaning Process
that cleans clothes cleaner than they were ever cleaned before by any dry cleaning process.
Preserves the life of garments—refreshes them—brightens and enriches the colors.
FOR THE first time in cleaning history a combined
holvent for dirt and stains has been created. That
solvent and the process of using it are called SANITONE.
"BEAUTY TREATMENT" FOR CLOTHES—In one
single, gentle treatment SANITONE penetrates to the
innermost fibres of fabrics — from silken webs to
thick-woven homespuns — dissolving and repelling the
infinitesimal atoms of grit and grime that grind the life
out of your clothes and rob them of their brightness.
REACHES HIDDEN FIBRES—By this "fibre-clean­ing"
your garments—making each individual fibre as
clean as when the cloth was woven—SANITONING
goes far, far beyond the accepted standards of methods /
hitherto used . . . methods that you have had to accept
because there was nothing better.
COLORS ARE INTENSIFIED—SANITONING brings
out all the beauty, all the finish there is in the cloth.
The colors are more than preserved; they are brightened,
enriched. The texture is made softer and finer. The
nap is revived. Many of the marks of wear disappear.
SANITONE revitalizes as it cleans, refinishing silks, re­storing
woolens, cleaning and glazing furs.
GARMENTS UNBELIEVABLY R E S T O R E D —
Through this amazing new process men's, women's and
children's clothes are not only cleaned in a manner
hitherto thought impossible; they are restored to an
unbelievable degree. After SANITONING, tucks and
\
pleats look like new. Fabrics last much longer when
SANITONED. They are never, subjected to the dead­ening
effect of rough handling.-
NOT A TRACE OF ODOR—A SANITONED gar­ment
is fresh and wholly free from any odor. This
freshness is the result of perfect fibre and surface clean­ness.
The ease with which garments are gently cleaned
by SANITONE, explains why the use of severe or
dangerous cleaning preparations is unnecessary.
COSTS NO MORE—SANITONING costs no more
than cleaning by usual methods in reputable establish­ments.
You save money by having your clothes SANI­TONED
because they last longer, wear better, look
better, require cleaning less often, and they are free
from the grit and dirt that ordinary processes cannot
remove and that wear the fibres out more quickly.
LICENSED ONLY TO LEADERS IN THE CLEAN­ING
INDUSTRY—In order to make sure that the pub­lic
may derive the full benefits of the marvelous new
process of SANITONE, a definite policy has been
adopted to license this patented process only to recog­nized
leaders in cleaning in every community. When­ever
you see the name SANITONE displayed by a cleaner
you may be sure that the establishment has been care­fully
investigated and that the process will be carried
to its full perfection in that place. Cleaners of such
responsibility and calibre have been selected in many
cities of the United States.

Phone 193 GIVE SANITONING A TEST—Compare the results of SANITONING with ordi­nary

Needless to say, SANITONE licensees in any city will refund to you the cost, if
SANITONING does not meet every claim for it. Bring your garments to or
phone any store of the above named cleaner.

Each Puff Less Acid
A LIGHT SMOKE
OF RICH, RIPE-BODIED TOBACCO
Over a period of years, certain
basic advances have been made
in the selection and treatment of
cigarette tobaccos for Lucky
Strike Cigarettes.
They include preliminary analy­ses
of the tobacco selected; use
of center leaves; the higher heat
treatment of tobacco ("Toasting");
consideration of acid-alkaline bal­ance,
with consequent definite
improvement in flavor; and con­trolled
uniformity in the finished
product.
All these combine to produce a
superior cigarette—a modern ciga­rette,
a cigarette made of rich, ripe-bodied
tobaccos—A Light Smoke.
