was selected to make the dedicatory
address at the dedication ceremonies
of the home economics building at the
"university. The affair was notable
through the appearance on the pro­gram
of leading educators of the
south.
"Tennessee," Miss Harris declared,
"in erecting this building, has added
prestige to home making as a profes­sion
in the south.
"Southern people," Miss Harris ad­ded
"have not yet realized the place
of home economics education in an
educational program for girls and

IN EXPLANATION
' • . •-
Due to the many requests pouring
into this office for a reprint of the
first cartoon ever to be published by
The Plainsman, we have resurected
the one shown above for the benefit
of those who did not receive the third
issue of the paper which was publish­ed
on Friday, September 24, 1926.
The appearance is quite appropriate
for since its initial printing the Au­burn
Spirit has certainly undergone
a remarkable regeneration and a
:nore dynamic football player has
arisen from the firee of discontent­ment
which burned so fiercely here
for a while, but which has completely
died out. The player seen rising from
the flames above is symbolic of ^the
expurgated Tiger team.

Rosser Alston of Stevenson is the
artist who is responsible for the in­troduction
of this pleasing novelty on
the front page of The Plainsman.

If someone gave you the dried-up
paw of a monkey and told you that
any wish you might make would be
granted, but chat you would be sorry
it had been, would you make the wish
or tell the fellow to go to someone
more superstitious? That is what
happened to a man in a play which'
the Auburn Players will soon pres­ent.
In this case, the man made a
wish. . . . for money, of course, and
got it.. He got the money and much
more. The play is called "The Monk­ey's
Paw" and, it is one of the most
stirring one act plays ever written.
In addition to this play, the enthus­iastic
members of the dramatic organ­ization
will present two comedies,
"Owin' to Maggie" and "Cokey." The

Petrie Draws Week's Lesson
From Navy Day Celebration
Dr. George Petrie, dean of gradu­ate
studies, Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
discussed the subject "What
did We Learn on Navy Day?" at his
weekly lecture on Current Events at
Aubui-n.
Doctor Petrie'? lecture follows:
"Last Wednesday there was much
speaking about our navy. At night
we heard it over the radio. The next
morning we read it in the papers.
Much of it was interesting and in­structive.
Yet there were things of
importance about which we heard very
little.
1. What Grover Cleveland Did
"We heard a great deal about
Roosevelt. This was natural as hi.*
birthday has been taken for Nivy
Day. It was also right, because he
did much for the navy. The cruise
around the world was thoroughly
Rooseveltian. It was spetacular but
(Continued on page 6)
When the students were endeavor­ing
to raise the money to send their
band to New Orleans, they were not
entirely without potside assistance
and when the drive fell short the
citizens of Auburn came to the rescue
and subscribed the remainder of the
necessary amount. Approximately
seventy dollars was collected on short
notice and contributed to the sum
which had been raised previously.
Such loyalty is always appreciated
by the student body and this mani­festation
of the spirit of cooperation
will bear its fruits in the trade giv-an
to these supporters.

trip of the band to New Or­leans

Memorial Stadium To
Be Scene of Terrific
Scrap Between Tiger
and Bulldog
Feeling slightly more sure of them­selves
as a result of their past two
victories over strong conference foes,
find inspired by the tremendous ac­claim
they received from the student
body at the largest mass meeting of
the year on Thursday night, the Au­burn.
Tigers, about forty in number,
will entrain SaU.rday for the short
but momentous jaunt over to Colum­bus.
The object of the visit is to
avenge themselves on the Bulldogs for
the ignominous defeat they dealt out
to the Bengal tribe last year in the
Georgia city.
Coach Morey, beloved of the stu­dents
as "King" David, has. been busy
making preparations for one of the
hardest games on the local schedule.
Uniforms have been repaired and the
entire equipment generally overhaul­ed.
Assisting him in these tasks were
Bunk Vaughan, smiling manager of
the team, and the two faithful train­ers,
"Goat" Smith and Selwyn Turn*
er. The ancient grudge between the
feline and canine tribes will be re­newed
in earnest Saturday and a right
royal trusle is expected. The two*
teams have met for many years and
these meetings have been productive
of the south's most coldrful gridiron
contests. The game this year is not
likely to prove an exception.
Georgia Strong
Georgia is much to -fce feared *by
the Orange and Blue Eleven as the
Red and Black eleven took the strong,
Florida Gators into camp last week
rather handily. Then, too, Georgia
is always keyed to top notch form
for the battle. Although*they have
suffered several reverses they were
to some of the strongest foes through­out
the country and they have • but
served to put them on, edge for the
Auburn game. Spectators can be on
the lookout for a Titanic struggle
when these two threat Dixie elevens
face each other on the beautiful field
in the Memorial Stadium.
The Georgians have practically the
same team intact which they used to
defeat the local eleven so decisively
last November together with a wealth
of reserve strength. It is said that
the game this year will develop into.
a battle of reserves. Both teams have
two or more players to fit into each
position. There will probably be a
?reat many substitutions on both
sides

OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
Each year there are approximately one
j hundred and fifty seniors to complete the
advanced course offered by the local R. 0.
T. C. department. Many of these embryo
officers retain their commissions in The
Reserve Officers Corps by attending a two
week's summer camp once every three
years. It has been found advisable for the
government to encourage an association
for the primary purpose of persuading
more of the young men of the country to
enroll in such courses while in college. The
Reserve Officers Association was born of
this need. It has been so often confused

WHY NOT AN OUNCE OF
PREVENTION?'
Liberty, weekly publication, is conducting
a nation-wide investigation into college
morals in an attempt to refute |ome 'of
the unjust criticisms appearing in our most
sensatonal dailies. The editor treats an
alleged infraction of our moral code in a
most delicate and, we believe, quite just
way.
It is not often that we are able to find
one who will defend the new generation
and we are gratified when a champion of
our cause appears. The article, in sub­stance
appears below:
"Recently a shocked official of a coedu-"
cational college discovered that boy and girl
students returning home after a victory of
their football team held an impromtu dance
in the sleeping-car aisle attired in their pa­jamas,
"therefore, following the usual logic
of moralists, he jumped to the conclusion
that worse conduct ensued when the porter
and conductor were looking and de­cided
that the evil arose from sleeping-cars,
and forbade the students from riding
to and from football games in those con­veyances.
"We read of petting ;--,--lias in parked
automobiles; therefore many parents and
others forbid boys and girls from going
riding together, on the theory that the
motor car is the cause of the immoral con­duct.
^Others declare that the flask of gin
on the hip is the reason for the alleged in­crease
in set license among the young.
"We are not convinced that George M.
Pullman added anything to sex inclination,
that the automobile increased human de­sire,
or that gin adds any more fuel to
human spontaneous combustion than the
port and sherry of our forbears did—if
as much: Although drinking in any form
weaken? moral stamina.
"Beyond making the maximum of temp­tation
coincident with the maximum of op­portunity,
Pullmans, motor cars, steamships
or coeducation fail to figure in the prob­lem
except in the minds of those who blush
when a bed is mentioned. The attempt to
blame these things for the alleged (and not
entirely conceded) laxity of conduct among
the youth of the world is confusing the
cause with the instrument.
"In other days, buggy rides, picnics, and
even camp meetings were blamed when the
weaker willed or stronger passioned ones
yielded to the commonest and most impell­ing
of human emotions? Prior to that time,
it is probable guardians of the youth look­ed
askance at two-seated chariots. "Youth
will find a way" was acknowleged truth
long before Pullman cars or motors were
thought for. Didn't Leander swim the Hel­lespont,
Romeo climb the balcony, and
Jacob serve twice seven years? The sex
urge impelled them as strongly, perhaps
more so, than it does modern young men
and women, and when they yielded to that
emotion.no barrier stopped them.
"Automoblie petting, close-up dancing,
and such thinks are merely symptoms of the
sex urge—and not the cause of it. Some
even regard them as a kind of moral vac­cination
against more dangerous things.
"The sex impluse is part of normal hu­man
nature, and the only safeguards
against yielding to it wrongfully are self-control
and character, builded upon and
fostered by right home life and proper re­ligious
training. Early marriages may
lessen this peril of society, but in the past
recent issue de­voted
almost a column of its editorial page
to explain the object and mission of this
organization. We pass it on to you in the
belief Aat it will clear up some points of
confusion:
"Lest there may be misunderstanding of
the plans and purposes of the Reserve Of­ficers
Association of the United States, it
is well now and then to remind ourselves
of the work of this going organization, of
its achievements and sacrifices here in the
midst of social and industrial peace, and
of its hopes for the future.
'The association is designed to do those
, things which cannot Be directed or carried
out by military authority. These tasks na­turally
fall to the lot of picked, patriotic
and efficient citizens of the United States.
"The plan for preparedness for national
defense has been well laid out in the Na­tional
Defense Act of 1920. This excellent
legislation prepared the way for the work,
and what remains for Americans to do is to
put the act into operation on as large and
effective a scale as possible.
"In going over the National Defense Act
one observes that its sucessful operation
depends for the most part on the voluntary
cooperation of citizens. No one is drafted
or compelled to join in the military plans
of preparedness, and clearly it recognizes
the principle that national defense depends
upon the citizens themselves and not on a
standing army or" any regularly employed
force. Without this voluntary cooperation
of our citizens in carying out the provisions
of the National Defense Act, our country
would be left, in a military sense, practical­ly
wholly defenseless.
"The regular army has become a force of
experts to instruct and prepare ftie Ameri­can
people to protect themselves. The Na­tional
Guard is encouraged and helped to
build itself up as the greatest force of vol­unteers
in our first line of defense.
"The Officers Reserve Corps is a great
pool of nearly 100,000 of our ablest citizens
picked because of their patriotism and
knowledge of matters of national defense,
and because of their ability to help in this
great plan. They are in the strictest sense
the leaders of the patriotic citizens who
will join, when need comes in our national
defense.
"As such they have classes of obliga­tions
:
1. Military obligations, such as to keep
up and increase their own knowledge and
skill in their particualr lines of military
efficiency; by their fitness to command
troops, or skill in some science as applied
to warfare, or to arange for the prompt
production and furnishing of supplies and
munitions, or to instruct others in these
things, or in other ways.
"Civilian obligations, such as to familiar­ize
the people with the need for prepared­ness
and what it means to them in the sav­ing
of lives and money, and perhaps even
of our independence and institutions; and
to explain the National Defense Act for
them; to support and help the regular army
and the national guard in their essential
duties to carry out this plan of national
defense; to encourage and assist in getting
men to enter the R. O. T. C. and especial­ly
the C. M. T. C, and the formation of
other means of training and instruction for
themselves and others; also to recruit and
build up the strength and membership of
the Officers Reserve Corps.
"Certain it is that the civilian function
of the reserve officers is as important as
their military duty, and that it can be most
effectively carried out by cooperation and
coordinated action.
"The Reserve Officers Association is not
partisan and is not self-seeking. It is not
primarily a social organization, but fosters
social activity as a means to assist in ac­complishing
its objects. It is not confined
to veterans of the World War; on the con­trary,
every man who becomes an officer in
e KeSBTve Of-ited*
States. It
with the veterans
t to go on with con-rvity
constantly re­newing
its membership from the, young
men who each year join the Officers Re­serve
Corps. It is not inconsistent with
nor in completition with any military club,
association or veterans organization;-on the
contrary, it favors and has good-will to all
of them so long as they are loyal and not
opposed to preparedness for national de­fense."
CUT "BULL" RATS HAIR,
Freshmen, do you know that one or
more "Bull Rats" are walking around over
the campus of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute boasting about not having to cut
their hair? These men seem to have the
idea that they are going to inaugurate a
new rule regarding having bull rats' cut­ting
their hair, then after,they leaveNfhe
college, gossip about not having to cut their
hair. Rats are you going to stick to the
rules and see that EVERY bull Rat Cuts
his hair? It is left to you to see that these
"gents," whether old or young, gets rid of
their hair.
The hair of the Freshmen football squad
should be protected until after the last
football game of the season as the hair
serves as a protection to the player. Those
Rats and Bull Rats who are not playing
football have no excuse for delay in cutting
their hair as the Glomerata pictures have
*een completed.
Last year there were three or four bull
rats who thought they would not have to
cut their hair, but just before the Christ­mas
holidays they.found themselves in the
barber chair hating to go home without
hair on their head. Take warning boys
and do not feel embarrased if you start to
step on the train Christmas and some loyal
Auburn student takes you by the arm and
says "You may go home after that hak
is gone."
Does marriage exempt «a person? He
has put himself here with us and if he our
rules do not please him we cannot help it.
He came here with the expectation of hav­ing
to cut his hair, 'now it is left to the
Freshmen class to see that he does not
leave without all expectations being ful­filled.
If a married Rat comes to college
he has to cut his hair, therefore a bull rat
is not excused from having his hair clipped.
Are the members of the Freshmen class
going to let a "Big Freshmen" back them
down- after they have notified him to cut
his hair? No, That is not flie characteris­tic
of a Freshmen class, of Auburn..
schools', they remain through their devo­tion
to the school and the ideals they .have
helped to inculcate here.
A crisis has been reached. We cannot
push forward much longer. We dare not
look backward. The bottoms of our cof­fers
are very much in evidence. In our dis­tress
we are crying out to the citizens of
the state to come to our rescue. Auburn
has had a record too illustrations for us
to permit the stigma of object poverty to
be stamped upon it. ,We have revelled in
glory too long to become accustomed to
grovelling in disgrace. But we are power­less
to save ourselves, do what we may.
Our aid must come from the voters and
taxpayers and voters of the state.
In January the next Legislature of Ala
bama will be convened. We must go to them
and ask for help. 'This be accomplished
by each student's talking to his legislator,
explaining to him the desperate' need of the
college, and securing his support to a bill
authorizing the appropriation of a suffi­cient
sum of money to the school. There
are students here from every county in the
state and if each man will do his duty the
issue may be presented to every individual
before, they go to Montgomery to take their
seats in the House of Representative.
Fellow students, lovers of Auburn, This
is no time for shrinking. Our existance as
a first class college demands mor^e money.
We do not beg for charity! we invite an
investment in a certain future.
WE MUST HAVE MORE MONEY
Congressman W. B. Bowling, loyal friend
of many years' standing struck the key
note of Auburn's need in a recent address
before the irpperclassmen assembled in con­vocation
wl|en he declared that the institu­tion
was being mistreated by the state in.
the appropriation of finances. He was
r.oundly appauled by the students'when he
declared that if the State of Alabama could
afford to place millions on the roads with­in
its boundaries it should help the schools
which are dependent upon ii^ aid.
Were the speaker's statement justfied
by the facts in the cas^? To one who has
but casually thought upon this subject the
question might appear to be! difficult or
at least intricate. He might possibly main­tain
that the colleges reached but a select
class while the highways were open to all.
But he would be forgetting that the peo­ple
are the ones who, in the final analysis,
make possible this opportunity and that
these voters and tax payers could by the
magic of their influence and capital offer
educational advantages to the youth of the
commonwealth.
We do not wish it to appear that we are
opposed to the improvement of our roads,
for wt should indeed be leaving a false im­pression
in the minds of those whom ,we
wish to reach. We believe that a road
should serve a purpose, however, and not
a whim. It should be a commodity and not
a luxury. At one time a road had as its
purpose communication between one center
of activity and another. Now it is the
speedway of thrill seekers and pleasure"
hunters. The university has always been
recognized as of primary importance, more
or less. Its task has been to train men for
leadership whether it be in the construction
of highways or in the many other branches
of human endeavor. Yet our legislators
fail to realize that money spent in teach­ing
men ho wto build roadways is really ar
ecconomic saving.
Auburn is being gradually choked to
death by the failure of Alabama's solons to
help her financially. Each year hundreds
of ambitious young men knock at her por­tals
for admittance only to be met with
the long trite localism, "We have no.money;
seek your learning elsewhere." Although
many are turned away our numbers are
constantly growing. We are having to
sacrifice efficiency, to some extent, in order
to accomodate the growing demand. Our
professors are sadly underpaid and al­though
many of'them have received much
more remunerative offers from other
SPORTSMANSHIP
With "Welcome, Auburn," "Open House
For Auburn," "Howdy, Auburn," and the
like, slogans for the Tulane reception of the
Tiger of the Plains, the conduct of five
freshmen who last Saturday tore down
from Lee monument Auburn colors is re­grettable.
To invite a visitor into one's
home and then to maltreat his property is
thejieight of discourtesy; no more is it the
,act of gentlemen for Tulane's guests to be
given such rude treatment.
The five freshmen who are responsible
for the only public blot so far as is known,
upon the University's record for the game
have entirely the wrong conception of Tu­lane
spirit. To them, newly arrived from
the ranks of prep schools, where to engage
in physical demonstrations is to spread the
glory of the school—and such a practice
there may have its virtues—there was noth­ing
wrong in dishonoring Auburn's colors.
The freshmen have much to learn, however.
For this reason it is' permissible largely
to overlook their thoughtless error, to be
confidence that their conduct henceforth
wu\parallel more nearly the Tulane ideal,
and to offer to the Auburn student body an
apology for the occurrence. x

INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE .HOUSE­HOLD
AND ANNOYING TO MAN
Glenn W. Herrick, Cornnell University
The MacMillan Book Company
It is safe to say that no house escapes
entirely the ravages of insects. The num­ber
of species and individual depends large­ly
upon the suroundings of the house and
the vigil of the housekeeper. She may
have in her home many insects or few.
Mr. Herriek has treated very fully, and
in a readable manner, the insects, and near­ly
related species of the household. In his
introduction he gives us an idea of the vast
number of known insect species, namely,
"470,000." Of course not all of these direct­ly
affect man, but most certainly enough
are injurious.
The house fly, "the most dangerous ani­mal
in the world," is given the first chap­ter.
Its life history, breeding places, re­lation
to^nan as a carrier of disease germs,
filthy, habits, and control are treated in de-
,tail.
The third chapter discusses mosquitoes.
The* three genera, Culpex, Anophales, and
Aedes are considered. The part they play
respectively in the transmission of Dengue
fever, Malarial fever, and Yellow fever, is
fully discussed as is their breeding habits
and control. '
The bed bug is thoroughly explained in
chapter five. Here he well illustrates the
great variation of common names of in-isects.
The. bed bugs common name varies
according to the locality from which it is
found. In Boston jt is called "Mahogany
flat," in Nev? York, "Red coats," ana1 in the
South "Chinch." The medical value of bed
bugs as they were used in the olden days
is given. Seven bed bugs mingled with
water were a dose for an adult, while four
were sufficient for children. They were
also given for fever and ague. Their odor
was used for hysterical suffocation. The
bed bugs longevity of life without food is
astonishing. A gentlemen by the name of
Dufour, kept bed bugs alive for a year
without food. Moral—Don't try to starve
a bed bug. \
Chapter seven discusses the domestic
species of roachrss, namely, the German,
American, Australian, and the Oriental.
The roaches are somewhat similar in struc­ture,
being flattened, &a the bed bugs, and
they have the nocturnal habit like some
young folks.
The above mentioned are major house­hold
pests. He treats, however, in propor­tion
to their importance, the fleas, ants,
clothes moths, Buffalo moth, which is not
a moth out a beetle, silver fish, house crick­ets,
cereal pests, such as we find in our
morning breakfast food, pests of meat and
cheese, and the diferent species of human
lice.
Of the pests nearly related to insects
and annoying to man, the itch mite, chig-gers,
black widow spider, and centipedes
are mentioned, r It might be stated that
the black widow spider is one of the rather
dangerous spiders of Alabama.
Special mention is also given to the trou­blesome
termite, or white ant. This insect
is becoming of more importance each year.
Its natural habit is wood, ami as the forests
become scarcer the termite is directing its
activities toward the woodwork of houses.
On the whole, Mr. Her'rick's book is in­teresting
and reliable.

With Other Colleges
The Men's Pan Hellenic Council at the
University of Ky., have named Oct. 29 as
"Howdy Day." All the students and mem­bers
of the faculty must lose their dignity
that day and speak to every one they meet
on the campus. They are to speak to each
person every time they meet that day.
This is ordered so that the students may
learn each other better. M
PRINCIPLES OF GENETICS
Edmund W. Sinnott, Connecticut Agricul­tural
College, and
L. C. Dunn, Geneticist, Connecticut Agri­cultural
Experiment Station
McGraw-Hill Book Company
This book treats of the principles of Gen­etics
from a scientific rather than from a
historical point of view. The age-old in­teresting
question of how individual cha­racteristics
are transferred from parent to
offspring, even unto grand children, is
clearly explained, using Mendal's law/of
heredity as a fundamental background.
The physical basis of inheritance, as ex­plained
through fertilization, and the func­tion
of Chromosomes as carriers of deter­mines
for genetic characters, is logically
and scientifically explained. The wide­spread
occurance of linkage in inheritance
is clearly and forcefully discussed. Also
sex and its inheritance, the causes «f sex
spread occurrence of linkage in inherieance
and the causes of sex reversal, are all dis­cussed
and illustrated in an unusually
striking and clear manner.
The causes of variation, environmental artd
internal 'factors, when considered in the
light of present day knowledge, seems #to
give. the internal factors the advantage
over enviromental. In other words internal
factors are more effective in determining
an individual's characteristics than the ex­ternal
factors.
The application of the principles of Gene­tics
to plant and animal breeding as well
A well known sports writer of New York
recently wrote an article telling the world
that football was played in the year 697
B. C. Old writings from Kona tell of, a game
played with a leather ball filled with goat's
hair. The uniforms were made of silk.
Cherry trees were used as goal posts A i d
when a team made a touchdown, they,took
the fruit from the trees and ate it, then 4
went to playing again. They played un­til
one team could take no more punish­ment.
Wonder if they will ever discover a Ford

The lecture periods at Rollins College,
Fla., have been lengthened from one to two
hours. The students will come to class, not
to listen to the lecture but to study under
the direction of the professors.
We understand that Howard Head broke
a date at Athens, Ala., in order to be in

as to inheritance in man, are discussed in
much detail. The principal subject dis
cussed in relation to man is the inheritance
of physical and mental traits.
The problem of Eugenics, discussed as a
problem of inheritance and not of sanita­tion,
brings out the necessity of checking
the increase of defective humans to the
point of elimination of the feeble-minded.
On the other hand the proposition of in­creasing
the highly mentally endowed hu­mans
should, be made as imperative, if the
human race is to hold its present standing.
The outstanding difference of this book
from the many other similar texts is the ad­dition
of problem questions for thought and
discussion as well as reference assignments
at the end of each chapter.

« AUBURN FOOTPRINTS *
. We cannot help but notice the manner
in which the members of the Auburn cheer­ing
section made Woman's College their
rendevous last -Saturday night after we
administered the bitter dose to Sewanee.
It was estimated by "Bakie" Marsh that
105% of the students that went to Mont­gomery
to the game were present at the
time mentioned.
BEAT GEORGIA!
Evidently the girls there must like tfed
hair. Or at any rate we noticed that "Red"
Roberts, "Red Russell, and "Red" Edwards
were pretty busy during their sojourn
there.
BEAT GEORGIA!
But "Ben" Robinson takes the prize as a
s
shiek. We noticed "Ben" there with bells
on and entertaining no less than four of the
inmates.
BEAT GEORGIA!
We understand that Hoyt Ellis missed
the special on his return trip. We did nfct
think that there would be any excuse for
that with the special leaving at 11:00 p. m.,
but these Sophomores can be relied upon
to do the unexpected.
BEAT GEORGIA!
But if they want to do the unexpected,
we would suggest that they create a senti­ment
for the resurrection of the vigilance
committee. •
BEAT GEORGIA!
There are several theories in vogue as
the manner in which the above mentioned
committee came to its death. We shall
enumerate a few of them:
BEAT GEORGIA!
H. W. Head advances the theory it died
a natural death. By that he means that it
met the common fate of all, after having
served its purpose.
BEAT GEORGIA!
"Unk Peavihe" Worley comes forward
with the theory that it died of starvation.
By that is meant that the students ceased
feeding it and consequently it ceased to
live.
BEAT GEORGIA/-j *
"Dizzy" Pruitt advances the theory that
it has been outgrown by the student body
and that higher and nobler things have
replaced the barbarous custom of enter­taining
the Freshmen in that manner.
BEAT GEORGIA!
Rowe Johnson blames it all on the co-eds.
Rowe says that the increase of the co-eds
have tended to detract the attention of the
students from such a genuine masculine
activity and has substitued such social func-
I
tions as sewing circles, bridge "parties, etc.
Rowe says farther that the moral influ­ence
of the recent inspection held at Smith
Hall at which the victims were fed pink
lemonade and cakes has tended to demora­lize
the activities of the vigilance committee
to such an extent that it has failed to func­tion.
BEAT GEORGIA!
*
But whatever the reason, this much cus-v
sed and discussed vigilance committee has
been lying in state for the entire time
that this semester has existed. It is ti»e
that we were burying the remains, or re­surrecting
them, or planning some other
means of disposal.
BEAT GEORGIA! •
We have six detectives trying to find the '
author of this statement: "I love Harry
Fox, he's my shiek."
From all appearances a new shiek has
arose at alumni1 Hall. Of course we have
known all along that Harry Fox had an ad­dress
book that looked like a telephone di­rectory,
but the above distinction distinct­ly
brands him as a "shiek." No, there is
no other way around it.
BEAT GEORGIA!
We understand that "Willie" Frank has
a new room mate in the form of a cat. We
wish to give this warning to the friends of
"Willie" that boast of their loyalty to the
class of " '30."
BEAT GEORGIA!
Not satisfied with his achievements at
Woman's College Royce Crawford tried a
little variety by stepping out with one of
our fair co-eds. It is rumored that he is
the one alluded to. It is our custom to wish
a student in this predicament our best of
wishes but we hesitate to do so in this case
as we have several other friends among the
ones who want what Royce wants. Good
luck to all, and may the best man Win!
BEAT GEORGIA!
We have not exactly understood the rea­son
why Allan and Hugh Francis came-in
at 1:30 a. m. Saturday morning. We hear
vague rumors, and were inconsistent re­ports
from them; but are still in the dark.

When Alfred Tennyson found ro­mance
in moving locomotive wheels
he created a sensation in literature.
Romance had been reserved for the
lovers, the brooks, the fields and the
flowers. But since that day there
lias been romance in everything.
Roderick McKehzie, the nationally
famous artist, of Mobile, immobil­ized
the great steel mills at Ensley
when he conveyed the romance he
saw in them to a canvas. Here was
industry.
But romance has found its way in­to
a far remote shelf, a letter box in
the postoffice at Auburn, and the gilt
that colors its tradition is the pride
of the family of Creel.
Romance yov. say, has found its
way into many letter boxes? True,
but the romance here is the box it­self
and not what is has contained.
A decade ago, J. N. Creel, a farmer
living near Haig, Ala., rented box
No. 846 at Auburn. This was to be
the rendezvous for letters from fam­ily
to student at Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute. In 1916, J. P. Creel,
then owner of the box, came to Au­burn
and set an athletic record that
future owners of the Creel box were
to inherit as surely as they came into
possession of it. Creel made his let­ter
award in football and baseball
\nd now is director of athletics at
Sylaeauga High School.
Homer Creel came to Auburn in
1919. He used the same postoffice
box. As catcher, he won his laurels
in baseball. Homer now is an en­gineer
with the Dixie Construction
Company.
In the same year Homer entered,
Miss Annie enrolled at the college.
She became captain of the girl's bas­ket
ball team. Now she is engaged
in educational and playground work
in Birmingham.
Ber. Creel, who was graduated at
the school in 1924, now is a celebrat­ed
veterinarian ir. New York and Miss
Edna Creel is a sophomore at the col­lege
this yean She is a member of
the girl's basket ball team.
Old Doc Yak, known as a figure in
newspaper comic sections, found his

NEW ELECTRIC MEAT CUTTER
INSTALLED
FOR THE SERVICE AND CONVENIENCE
of
OUR CUSTOMERS
On Thursday of last week a group
of enthusiastic and progressive stu­dents
met with Prof. B. R. Showalter
on the third floor of the Main Build­ing.
This meeting started the new
course now being offered in "How
tcr Study." The course is primarily
for members of the Freshmen class;
though members of other classes may
enter as readily. Fenton's "Self Di­rection
and Adjustment" is the text­book
being used; it may be secured
from Prof. Shawalter at his office
on the third floor of the Main Build­ing.
More than a score and a half of
thrifty students manifested their in­terest
in this new course being of­fered
by appearing at the opening.
The instructor stated that this was
only a small representation of the
large number who really need the
course, and that he had expected a
much larger attendance. Only three
co-eds were present at this opening.
Due to a conflict with Current
Events, quite a few students could
not meet at this hour, from eleven to
twelve. A different period is being
aranged for their special benefit.
When and where this second class
will meet are to be given as soon as
definite arrangements have been made
relatively.
It is very evident that at least
ninety per cent and probably all of
the Freshmen ejass needs this train­ing,
and should take advantage of
the opportunity that is now theirs.
Those students wishing to enter this
course should see either Prof. Show-alter
or Dr. Morfet right away. Only
one hundred books were secured, and
those coming first will get a safe
chance at a book. .
When a student reports to this
course, it does not mean that he is
either a mental or financial invalid;
it only indicates that he is a really
industrious and progressive student.
The course offers no credit; however,
it does afford the student five quality
points. *
Prof. Showalter's lecture at the
openinng was very interesting and in­structive.
Students, you need this
course; enroll now!

ELECS HEAR TWO
GOOD LECTURES
The A. I. E. E. held its regular
weekly meeting at seven o'clock in
room 201 Ramsey Engineering Hall.
The program for the evening was
featured by two talks, one by Mr. C.
L. Brown and the other by Professor
Thomas. The first number on the
program was by Mr. Brown, who
gave us a very interesting talk on
electricity as applied to the modern
automobile industry. He gave us the
description of the apparatus and
their respective advantages and dis­advantages.
His talk included the dif­ferent
types of equipment and their
installation on different types of cars.
The second and last number was
given by Prof. Thomas on the secrets
of financing a business enterprise.
He explained the advantages and the
Hardships of owning your owr. busi­ness.
The advantages are found in
the fact that you are your own boss
and have results of any extra work
that you put in on your own initia­tive.
The disadvantages are that
you have a terrible time trying to
raise the finances for the new line of
business and to keep it going. The
most important part in any enter­prise
is to learn to economize at the
very start of ywr life after yov
leave college. This will give you an
advantage in the fact that it will give
/(. a a chance TO borrow money to start
a business. Prof. Thomas also gave
us some of the reasons for the rapid
advancement of the state of Ala­bama.
He said that this was due to
the advertising that the Alabama
Power Company gave us in the city
of New York last year. This exhibi­tion
was a miniture stage of the ad­vantages
that are found to be found in
the state of Alabama and as stated
this has led to the investment of
many millions of dollars in our state.
This concluded our program for the
evening.
Successive meetings of the A. I. E.
E. are going to be held in Room 201
Ramsey Engineering Hall at seven
o'clock. All Elecs are cordially in­vited
to attend the meetings regular­ly.

quite a large number of the students
at A. P. I.
The room was most attractively
decorated in Halloween colors. Corn
stalks and autumn leaves were in all
corners of the room. The ceiling was
draped in frilled- black and orange
crepe paper. Two huge open fires
were burning with bright flames to
greet the guests as they entered. The
soft light shed from the Jack-o-lant-erns
also helped to make the room
enchanting. ,
All of the girls were dressed in
costumes, some representing witches
and ghosts and a number of other in­teresting
characters. Bridge, rook,
hanging apple contest, peanut race
and a number of other games were
enjoyed by the guests. Along with
this part of the program came the
witch in her corner booth telling
fortunes. After the games were fin­ished
and every one had their fortunes
told a delicious salad course was serv­ed
and punch was served from the
witch's black kettle.
Among the guests were: Misses
Annie Katherine Nunn, Neida Mar­tin,
Lorene Parrish, Sarah Holladay,
Lillian Dunn, Edna Creel, Nell Mar­tin,

Wednesday night in Comer hall
between juniors and freshmen. The
affirmative side wag ably represented
by Newton and Ellis Duseker, Juni­ors;

side.
Both sides brought out many in­teresting
points, some of which caus­ed
much laughter, h:>wever the judges
Mr. Walker, "Red'' Arant, and "Shor­ty"

"At Forty" the housewife in some sections
of Europe wears a black bonnet to signify
the end of her youth. A quaint custom—you
say—but it usually signifies a fact. Heavy
tasks, indoors and out, have made her old—
at forty.
Of all the uses of electricity in America, the'
most important are those which release the
woman from physical drudgery. Electricity
carries water, washes clothes, cleans carpets,
cooks the family's food—better and quicker,
than could be done by hand.
A trip to town or an hour's rest in the after­noon
pays a woman dividends in good health
"at forty years." And what is youth but that?
Men and women who have had the benefit
of college training and college life have
learned to place the proper value upon rest
and recreation. They appreciate the relief
afforded by electricity.

Georgia will send two of the great-sst
backs to ever represent that in­stitution
into the game. This is
placing them at a pretty high premi­um
for the 'cracker state college has
boasted of many great backs in her
illustrations history. These two fla­shy
halves will bear a lot of watching
to keep them from slipping away
for long gains through the line and
around the flanks. Morton, half back
and captain of the team is a real
triple threat men and acclaimed by
the Yale aper as being one of the
most resourceful players ever to ap­pear
before a Blue eleven. Hatcher,
diminutive half, is one of the most
elusive broken field runners in the
Conference.
Snyder and Fisher
The Tigers will not be without
their stars when the two teams line
upfor the opening whistle. In Sny­der
the Tigers have the fastest man
in the conference both on the cinder
path and the gridiron. The Besse ner
Lad is capable of running the ends
and off tackle with disastrous results
to the moracle of the enemy. This
track luminary has been one of the
big guns of the Tiger offense in every
game this season while his defensive
work is of the highest calibre.
Mike Fisher, the second of the fleet
duet, is a constant threat to the enemy
and one of the most brilliant backs
to ever thrill the Auburn students
with long runs and savage plunges.
The La Grange lad is an accurate
passer and a broken field runner of
no mean ability. These two stars to­gether
with these fighting Tigers,
Square Jaw Salter, Auburn's best bet
for an All-Sothern berth, Baskin,
Watwood, Burns, Patterson, Long,
Carter, Howard, Spinks, Cunning­ham,

of the linesmen, will be the nucleus
around which Morey's attack will be
built. Nelson, Ellis, Allen, Moulton,
Turner, Tuxworth and Shotts will
j robably have chances at carrying
the oval.

Auburn's Backs Pierce Sewanee's
Highly Touted Team to Win, 9 to 0
Before a crowd of approximately
five thousand staunch Auburn sup­porters,
the Tiger from the Plains
clawed its way to victory over the
Tiger from the mountains of Tennes­see.
Morey's eleven had everything
necessary to win a football game
Saturday and they displayed it much
to the satisfaction of their followers
who had come out to see their favorite
go into battle against a foe that was
predicted to win by at least two touch­downs.
Auburn's line was one of the
prettiest seen in action this year and
it is no wonder that the Sewanee
offense failed to function against the
Plainsmen. Salter, Carter, Patter­son,
Pruitt and Cunningham were
charging as one man and their dar­ing
tackles of the Sewanee backs was
one of the features of the game.
Burns and Ingram held down the
flanking positions in first class style.
The offense was centered around
Snyder and Fisher with Moulton do­ing
most of the signal calling. Au­burn's
touchdown came as a result of
one of the prettiest plays of the game;
Snyder eluded every Sewanee man of
the secondary defense and Moulton
flung a pass into'his arms with all
the accuracy and precision of a Freid-man
or any other Ail-American.
The play followed a tense situation
when Sewanee held the Plainsman for
downs on their own three yard line.

Each year there is a great deal of
interest stimulated over the outcome
of the Georgia-Auburn game, which
might just as appropriately be called
the Bulldog-Tiger fight. It was in
the fall of 1923 that the Tiger last
emerged victor from this annual af­fair.
On this date the Tiger defeated the
Bulldog by the close margin of 7-3,
the following two seasons the Geor­gian
won by the score 7-0 each time.
Last season the University of Georgia
sent one of the smoothest offenses
against Morey's eleven that the Tig­er
found itself on the short end of a
34-0 score. This year as the Tiger is
in its lair sharpening its claws for the
Bulldogs, the dopesters are figuring
out that the Bulldog will win again
This column thinks that the Bengals
have more than an even chance to get
that sweet revenge of the last sea­sons
drubbing. The cry of the stu­dent
body is "Gte Georgia" and there
is determination in the look of this
same Student Body.
King David Morey will probably
use the same combinations against
Georgia that was so effective against
Sewanee. This column has never seen
a smoother working line than that re­presenting
the "Tiger of the Plains"
last Saturday and if this same array
of talent is right Saturday it seems
the Bulldog is in for a hard day.
The Special leaves the Village of
the Plains about eight o'clock Sat­urday
morning and'from the sale of
tickets in Auburn it should be loaded
with Auburn "Rooters." The afore­mentioned
fray which is to come off
Saturday is to be staged in the city
of Columbus which is one of the best
football towns in the south. Every­body
in this Georgia city turns out
for this annual encounter and the
gratifying part is that many of them
are Auburn supporters.
To name the stars of the big game
last week with the Sewanee eleven
would be to give the Auburn lineup.
Every Auburn player was giving his
best for his Alma Mater and the team
as a whole has never shown more
fight. The running of Snyder and
Fisher, the kicking of Moulton and
the charging of the Auburn line were
the features of the game. It is not to
be forgotten that this Sewanee eleven
that fell before the Plainsman rushes
held the Crimson Tide to a 2-0 score
the week before.
Zipp Newman sat in the press box
at Crampton Bowl and saw the Au­burn
team vanquish her foe and he
writes that the Plainsman eleven is
one of the strongest outfits he has
seen in action this year. He was
loud in his praise of the fast charg­ing
line of the tigers and also seemed
to be very favorably impressed with
the speed of Snyder. We are glad to
see the Auburn players get some rec­ognition
from the sport writers of the
south. This is something they have
been missing for quite a while and it
should prove inspiring to the ball
toters to know they are being watched
by the "wise boys" of the popular
college sport.
"It's all right to be sure you are
right, before going ahead, but often
times one doesn't know whether he
is right or not until he goes ahead."
We wonder how popular this thought
of Rossevelt's is with Rats as they
contemplate visiting the zoo?
Rats Turn In
Win Over Ogle-thorpe
Frosh
Before a small but enthusiastic
crowd our own Baby Tigers put over
the deciding touchdown of the open­ing
game of the Auburn series in
Montgomery last Saturday. The
guests of the Cubs were the Ogle­thorpe
Freshmen and they were quite
entertaining though the statistics do
show it so well. They were a constant
threat though they were never very
dangerous as the Tigers had the ball
most of the day and we all know
that the man with the ball does the
scoring, three backs went over the
goal line with the ball but only one
was counted as the others were call­ed
back and penalties inflicted. The
only score of the game come after
an Oglethorpe back fumbled and Au­burn
recovered almost on the goal
line. After Clark failed on a line
plunge Coleman took the ball over the
counter." The try for placement-fail­ed.
To pick the stars of the game would
be hard task but one man can not
overlooked; Granger surely gave a
fine exhibition of full back play.
He had worlds of drive and an uncan­ny
ability to pick holes in the oppos­ing
line. To Granger goes the honor
of making the longest run of the
game. It was 47 yard dash off guard.
Clark and Cosper were there with
all their tricks too. It always took
more than one man to stop either of
these boys and frequently more than
one Oglethorpe man would meet the
old stiff arm and hit the dirt leaving
which of the boys it happened to be
to continue his twisting and batter­ing
of his would be tacklers. Craw­ford
and Callahan, the two boys that
gave Marion so much trouble, were
there with their old consistent game.
These boys are going to make some
body step next fall. Crawford did
most of the kicking and though his
punts were not for long distance they
were gotten off in fine style. While
on the subject of punting we must
back up Cosper for he pulled the iron
man stunt of football; sent off a nice
kick and then went down the filed
and downed the receiver. Calahan
gave a good account of himself on
both line dravies and end sweeps.
Another back that was heard from
was Lively at quarter. He started
around left end and saw the Ogle­thorpe
team gathering in that vicinity
so he immediately changed his course
and (Vtent back around right end for
25 yards and a touchdown.only to be
V
called back because some his mates
were holding. In the line there was
plenty being done. The talkative
Garner from Greenville was not say­ing
much but his man was usually on
the ground. Garner also found time
to intercept an Oglethorpe pass after
Long had got it to bouncing around
up in the air. About these two Long
Rats; it may be well that this is
Shorty's last year on the varsity as
there would likely be trouble when
these boys began giving the competi­tion
for their places on the big gang
that they are sure to do. ' However,
the three Longs on the side of any
line would make it a formidable one.
Haggard, Robinson, Spense, should
come in for mention in the line play.
Stoutenborough at center was all that
his name implies and that must be
a lot for it is long enough. A more
earnest player than "Chuck" Hag­gard
at quarter is not to be found and
it must be said that the big boy run
the team well while he was there.
Oglethorpe kicked off to Ward and
he brought it back 30 yards, Crawford
got 5 Calahan 1 then Crawford kick­ed
25 yards out of bounds. On the
next play Ward intercepted a pass but
Auburn was offside. Oglethorpe
made first down on the next play
but the officials interferred again
and on the next play it was Auburn
that was too anxious. Then Garner
and J. Haggard put an end to the
attempted pass. After this for a
while it was just an exchange of punts
with no advantage for either side.
Finally Oglethorpe started a drive but
ended it by fumbling. Auburn re­covered;
Crawford got 4, Callahan got
5 and 7 more for first down, Craw­ford
and callahan gets 3 and 4 res­pectively
and Granger makes it first
down. Callahan loses 4 but makes it
for first down on next play. This boy
was driving hard but failed to gain
and a pass over the goal was incom­plete.
On two plays Oglethorpe made
eight yards to end the quarter. Play
resumed and they made first down
but Ward stopped the next one for
no gain and Oglethorpe punted. Hag­gard
went to quarter for Ward and
after one trial at the defense he pun­ted
and the kick was brought back 20
yards but he was hit hard by Craw­ford.
Spense was hurt and Nolen
went to guard on the last play. Ogle­thorpe
loses ground on next two
plays; Long and Barner are busy just
now. Crawford brings the punt 10
yards, Granger gets 4 and pass nets
25 more. Clark, Cosper and Lively
come in and attempted pass from
kick formation fails and the ball goes
over. After an exchange of punts
and fumbles Auburn started a drive
that would have netted a score if they
With Our Gridiron Foes
The Yellow Jackets of Georgia
Tech did themselves proud in hold­ing
the "Fighting Irish" to two touch­downs
last Saturday: Notre Dame
scored all her points in the first
half; Rockne's second-string caught
the Jackets off their balance to crash
through for a touchdown in the first
five minutes of play. Parham and
Barron proved their worth in this
contest. As the chant from the Au­burn
stands in the Sewanee game was
"Shop Helvey," so will it probably
be "Stop Barron " at Atlanta on
Turkey Day.
Woodruff used practically his en­tire
squad to wallop the University
of Florida, 32-9. Georgia showed
strength hitherto unknown to roll up
the score. Estes and Hathcer played
the leading role in the backfield and
Luckie and Shiver played a great
game in the line. Let us hope that
the Tigers will hold the Bulldogs bet­ter
than that.
After holding the Crimson Tide to
a lone field goal in the first half,
L. S. U.'s defense crumbled to let
Alabama slip through for three touch­downs.
Two blocked punts, each put­ting
the Tide in position to score,
took the starch out of the Tiger de­fense.
Wilson, Mason, and Godfrey
were the best Donahue had to offer.
The final count was 24 to 0.
Tulane scored one touchdown
against "Ole Miss" to win, 6-0. A
26-yard forward pass in the second
period gave the Greenies the chance
they needed. Thrice did the Missis-sippians
threaten Tulane's goal, once
carrying the. ball to the 7-yard line,
and thrice were they replused. Brown
ne, playing end in place of Capt.
Gamble of Tulane, who was out on ac­count
of injuries, was the outstand­ing
star of the game.
With L. Wilson, a second "Goat"
Hale running wild, the Howard Bull­dogs
were almost powerless against
Mississippi College. The Choctaws
won to the tune of 23 to 10. For
the first quarter Howard had things
all her way, with Bancroft, Lollar,
and McDanal going strong, but there­after
they just were not in it.
Wofford won her first victory of
the season by holding the strong
Clemson Tigers scoreless and taking
the game by the margin of a field
goal. The two teams had battled
on almost even terms for three peri­ods,
when the left halfback booted
it over from the 30-yard line.
Chattanooga piled up 60 points
against Emory and Henry, while
Marquette won over a strong oppon­ent,
Creighton, by 21 to 0.
THE RIVER AT NIGHT
In the deep and still of midnight
I approached the murmuring riv­er,
There to spend an hour, reflecting
O'er the haunts of the Great
Giver.
First to catch my fast attention
Was the rustling of the dark
stream—
The sad murmur of its waters
Rising as if from a deep dream.
Listening to this death-like rustle
Cast a spell of sadness o'er mo;
All my being became humbled
By the river and its story.
In the voice that floated upward
Could be heard a theme of glory;
The confession of the movement
Gave a life-like, endless story.
^rhis confession told full clearly
Of a life of ceaseless labor;
And it seemed to tell me likewise,
That my life should find full fa­vor.
Full four hours here I pondered,
Measuring the truths that float­ed
From beneath the spirited waters,
Till my heart of nature bloated.
All this brought a strong conviction
Of the stand in life I should
take—
Always moving, like the river,
And not idle,. as the lake.
VICTOR SAVAGE, JR. '30.
Every Frshmen heaved a terrific
gripe-sigh in convocation Tuesday,

DR. B. F. THOMAS
SPEAKST0 RATS
At rat convocation last Tuesday
Dr. Thomas, the college surgeon,
made a very interesting talk on the
health of the student and the causes
of the diseases among them. He also
told what to do to prevent a disease
of any kind from getting a foothold.
A survey of health conditions is being
made in Lee County; Dr. Thomas is
helping to make the survey at Au­burn.
Dr. Thomas stated that he had
to take the word of tha-student as to
whether he was sick or not. He also
requested that none of them take ad­vantage
of him in this way.
Dr. Dowell gave the program for
Armistice Day. Clesses are to be held
until ten o'clock. From ten to eleven
o'clock a review is to be held; from
evelen to twelve o'clock two speeches
are to be made. One of these is to
be made by His Excellency W. W.
Brandon' There will be no classes in
the afternoon.
Dr. Morfet made an annoucement
to the effect that if enough Freshmen
can be found to form another sec­tion
in the new courses offered them,
another one will be formed.
Rev. Lar.gston led the students ir.
devotional exercises. The singing of
our Alma Mater song revealed the
fact that a good many Freshmen had
not yet learned the song. Rats, get
busy and learn our song right away.

team seemed to become organized
and lost their first chance to score
just as the half ended. The second
half found some new faces in the
line-up and Auburn kicked off and
Oglethorpe punted after two trials
gained 3 yards. Ball came back 10
yards and Clark got 10 more then
after two trials failed to gain Cosper
kicked to goal and Shannon stopped
the ball before it got over. On next
play Oglethorpe fumbled and Auburn
recovered on the one yard line. Clark
failed but Coleman pushed it over for
the necessary points to win the game
for the day. From this point on the
game was just a repetition of the past
with the exception of the brilliant
run of Granger or 47 yards that came
late in the game; Auburn was carry­ing
the fight all the way and not giv­ing
an inch. Auburn made 13 first
downs and 311 yards to Oglethorpe's
159 and 6 first downs and had slight
edge in punting. Starting lineup,

WEBSTERIANS
HAVE SPLENDID
MEETTUESDAY
The members of the Websterian
Literary Society had a very good pro­gram
at its regular meeting hour
last Tuesday. There was a goodly
number present at this meeting.
Mr. Frederick gave a most inter­esting
talk on the life of Rudyard
Kipling. In his talk he portrayed
the writer in the many different
phases in which he has lived. Also
he gave many examples which show­ed
the results of Kipling having liv­ed
in tl.ese various places and under
these various conditions.
Miss Tancready in a splendid
speech on Daniel Webster showed us
why he is regarded as one of the
most eminent of orators.
"Youth and Military Training" was
the subject of a short talk by Mr.
Tidwell. He illustrated clearly how
the military training in schools and
camps helped the American youth of
today. He stated that one of the
greatest things it did was to teach him
how to take orders from some one
else.

COMMISION OF
FORESTRY HAS
GOODJXHIBlT
The importance of the forest in­dustries
to the state of Alabama was
emphasized by a model sawmill five
feet long that actually sawed mini­ature
logs into lumber before the
eyes of the spectators at the recent
state fair in Montgomery. The mill
was specially designed and built for
the State Commission of Forestry to
be used for exhibition purposes. It
was complete in all essential details
and imparted the hum .of industry
to the medley of sounds of the exhib­it
hall. Its operation kept * crowd
of adults as well as youngsters about
the platform from morning until
night. ' y
Other exhibits were a miniature
turpentine still, specimens of the eco­nomic
woods of the state and samples
of the products into which theyare
-manufactured. The necessity and
general methods of forest fire pro­tection
were shown by a model obser­vation
tower standing in a diminu­tive
forest together with action scenes
of fires that appeared to the eye to
be actually burning. That forestry
is not solely fire protection, however,
was shown by an exhibit of scientific
instruments used in timber -produc­tion
and in specially designed scenes
illustrating the scope of forest uses
and benefits.
HISTORY OF THE
ENGLISH DEBATE
English debating has had an event­ful
history. The following "outline
of debating" by a member of the Cam­bridge
debating team, now touring
American .colleges, appeared in the
Harvard Crimson.
Freedom of speech, one of the most
cherished rights of democracies too
often has only been attained by a
dire and bitter struggle. The victory
of this cause, however, throughout
history has been^ihe signal If or a
nation to exchange the battlefield or
conspiracy den for the debating hall.
It is therefore no bare coincidence
that organized debating first' arose
in England's older universities, Ox­ford
and Cambridge, during the de­cade
following the Napoleonic wars.
The Declaration of Indepenence, and
the French Revolution had' not been
forgotten, especially by the younger
generation. Shelly by means of his
poetry was both upon his harasssed
land. Byron's example at Missolong-hi
fired the nation, while the corrupt
monarchies bordering upon the Medi­terranean
Sea spasmodically convuls­ed
Europe by their revolutionary
movements. In response to these
high hopes and great inspirations,
and to assuage the bitteness of de­feat
and disillusionment, the students
of that day took to debating as a
noble recreation.
Public disputation necessarily evok­ed
the censure of authority. The uni­versity
faculty, at least in Cambridge,
proceeded to confine all resolutions
strictly to questions of past history,
in a furtive endeavor to avoid argu­ment
upon public policy or rhetorical
diatribes against public men. Thus
arose the art of performing a modern
drama in the midst of an historical
setting. Forbidden, for, instance, to
discuss the vital question of the Re­form
Bill, involving the issue, of dem­ocratic
virsus oligarchic government
—the live problems of the day—the
debaters would take an academic his­torical
motion, as perhaps the rela­tive
. merits of the governments of
Athens and Sparta, under whose"
-loak, by carefully veiled phases and
indirect reference, many a shrewd hit
could be. delivered by both Whig
and Tory against the prominent
statesmen and causes of the-day. A
stranger however, would have beet:
mystrified at so much heat and ex­citement
being aroused by a' seeming­ly
academic disputation. Thus the
English debater was full of the guile,
deceit and reckles.-- humor born of
illegality, now soley attributed to the
Bootlegger, i
These characteristics have in some
measure survived, although any re­strictions
upon the issues to be dis
cussed have long since been removed.
Today the debate is still, a lively re­creation,
partaken of in Cambridge
on every Tuesday and in Oxford or
every Thursday evening during term
time. The champions saunter down
from their college halls after dinner
tp the Union Society, the name adopt­ed
by those original post-Napoleonic
debaters for their club. Here they
-find~an audience, varying in numbers
from one hundred to six hundred,
ready for -he fray. Those who have
to open the discussion finger their
notes too often hastily prepared as
they sip their last glass of port be­fore
being led into the arena by the
immaculately attired President.
Thus Oxford and Cambridge men
for over a hundred years have de­veloped
debating as an art which de­pends
upon clear thinking and <qoick
wits, sharpened by the criticism of
their fellow-students. It is import­ant
to realize that neither this art
nor elocution have become a part of
the curriculum of these two universi­ties
and that the Union Society would
resent bitterly the intrusion of the
faculty upon th*ir weekly recreation.
Even judges are excluded, for the
procedure of these debates is base'!
upon the time-honored practice of
parliament; the divisor at the end be­ing
taken on the merits of the resolu­tion
rather than on the performances
of the speakers.
EAST AND WEST
MEET IN UNIQUE
CENTRAL_OFFICE
Probably the quaintest telephone
exchange in the United States, if not
in the world, is the "China" exchange
in the heart of San Francisco's China­town.
There the ancient tongues and
customs of the Orient are linked_with
the more modern conveniences of
every day business and social life. -
This Chinatown exchange is strict­ly
in conformity with the character­istics
of its environment. In fact,
the building is a specimen of Chinese
architecture such as is seldom seen
outside of the celestial empire. Tts
gaily decorated pagoda roofs and bal­conies
invariably attract the attention
of the tourists.
This exchange is managed by an
American-Chinese and is serving by
eighteen Chinese girl operators, all
of whom .have been educated in the
public schools of San Francisco and
are both fluent Chinese and Eng­lish
scholars. In fact, some of these
operators speak all nine of the Chi­nese
provincial dialects. The manager
of the exchange is Loo Kum Shu,
who was born in California and is
a graduate of the University of Cali­fornia.
He has been in charge of the
Chinatown exchange for. over twenty-five
years. Among the operators are
Maud Chin, with over fifteen years
of continuous service; Grace Lai, with
over ten years of service"; May Lowe,
Rose Mock and Nellie Jow, each of
whom have served more than five
years.
The number/of calls per day aver­age"
between 1,500 and 1,600,.and the
Chinese operators must be familiar
with the name and number of each
of these subscribers, as the Oriental
in Chinatown Insists on calling by
name instead of by number.
ASSOCIATION
OF ARCHITECTS
HOLDSMEETING
The third Architectural Association,
meeting of the year was held on the
night of October the twenty first.
President Snook called the meeting
to order. The Secretary jailed the
roll and there were thirty two mem­bers
present.
The President announced that a
prize LL two dollars would be awarded
ffech month to the student who turn­ed
in the best sketch problem in com­petitive
design among the upper clas­ses.
The problems are to be judged
by the Faculty and the President of
the. Association.
A motion was made that the con­stitution
be amended so that this
could be done. The constitution was
then amended by a unanimous vote.
Professor Biggin, speaking for the
faculty, offered to give the first
month's prize.
All business having been disposed
of, the speakers of the evening were
introduced.
Miss Duggar gave an interesting
and instructive talk on, "The Palace
of Black King Christopher," in Hai­ti."
Mr. Evans followed with a very
instructive talk on "Acoustical Treat­ment
of Small Auditoriums."
Professor Biggin complimented the
speakers on their talks and request­ed
that all of the one hundred and
twelve members of the department be
present for the Glomerata and publi­city
picture on Saturday morning.
The President called for a motion
for adjournment. The motion was
made and carried.
The Association meets every Wed­nesday
at seven p. m. Visitors are
cordially invited.

SLANG NOT SIGN
DEGENERATION,
SAYS PROFESSOR
Slang is all right, according to Pro­fessor
G. R. Potter of the University
of California English department.
"Slang is not the sign of a de­generation
of the tongue," the pro­fessor
asserted. "It is a develop­ment
of expressions which enriches
rather that cheapens the language."
Shakespeare used slang words and
phras.es in his writtings, Professor
Potter contended, and so di<T 0.
Henry and a number of other writ­ers
whose productions are now con­sidered
the classics of literature.
"Language must change constant­ly
to express the feelings of *the
people," Professor Potter declared.
"Many colloqualisms and phrases
are more workable and vivid than
those grammatically sanctioned,
"Grammar is not scientific and it( j
is natural that it changes*according
to the times. Of course, many of
the slang expressions of the day soon
die, but the, really worthwhile 6nes,
those which best express a certain
thought, live and become incorporated
into the languages."
WORKS OF MANY
ARTISTS ARE IN
SESQUI DCHIBIT
More than three hundred pieces'of
sculpture representing the work of
200 artists are on display in the Pal­ace
of Fine Arts at the Sesqui-Cen-tennial
International Exposition in
Philadelphia. .
Most conspicuous among them per­haps
is the loan collection of Rodin's
bronzeswork, containing first copies
of many of his most famous pieces.
T3uch noted bronzes as The Three
Graces, Clemenceau, Balzac, Study for
the Burghers of Calais, The Kiss, The
Thinker and Bernard Shaw are among
the scores which are placed in a spe­cial
gallery known as the Rodin Mu­seum.
Studies of hands, mythological
subjects, marbles, plaster and glass
are also included in the collection.
Fifty of che most important works
of Ivan Mestrovic, famous Jugo-Slav
sculptor, are in that nation's display
at the. Sesqui. Many of them have
never beeh seen in the United States
and a number have never been shown
before,
The collection includes two carved
wooden panels, "Chirst and the Mer­chants"
and "Madonna and the An­gels,"
incomparable works of' their
kind, and three important marble
groups which are the property of the
Jugo-Slav Government. None of the
sculpture is of temporary material,
as is common :with many exposition
colections, but all are marble, bronze
or wood.
France is represented >in sculpture
by six works by Degas. They in­clude
such subjects as Horse Stand­ing,
Dancer at Rest, Masseuse, and
The Right Heel.
Among the Russians the work of
Sergei T. Konenkoy is particularly
outstanding. He is known as the
"Peasant Woodcarver," and is recog­nized
as the most distinctively original
worker in that medium Vho has ap­peared
in the last one hundred years.
Konenkov, who has lived all his life
in the forest, imparts to his work a
quality hitherto unattained by other
wood carvers. His creations do not
depict merely an object or persdh.
They express the soul and feeling back
of the physical manifestation. A dis­criminating
use of color enhances
the beauty of the figures. His "spirit
of the Forest," in particular, demon­strates
the unusual quality of his
work,
Most prominent among the Ameri­can
sculptors, for the number of works
displayed are Paul Manship, Charles
Grafly, and Albert Laessle.
In front of the building are a. num­ber
of magnificent bronzes. Harriet
Frishmuth's The Vine, and. Beatrice
Fenton's Sea Weed Fountain, are
The members of the S. A; M. E.
held their weekly meeting in Engi­neer
Room of the Main building at
7:00 p. m. last Monday. Quite a
crowd was on hand to enjoy- the in­teresting
program.
Mr. Colon told of the peculiar ac­tions
of the Yellow River in China;
how, its river bed was above that of
the surrounding country, thus caus­ing
frequent floods over the fertile
country. According to present plans
it is to be tamed by the use of dykes
and basins, but all they Jack is money,
however the prospects are good.
The topic "Destructive in Pave­ment"
dealing with the mechanics of
concrete was related by Mr. Neely.
He told of the recent experiments re­vealing
how the grip of tires affected
the viabrations and not primarily the
.load, also the tests, ontypes of surfac­ing
material.
The feature of the program was a
talk by Lt. Bowley. For his subject
he took one of his he was detailed
to as an army engineer which covered
a period of three years out on the
Coquille River in Oregon. This river
is the outlet for a great lumber in­dustry,
thus the necessity of a great
development. The conditions to over­come
was a shallow nine foot channel
at its mouth with a bottom of rock
cemented together with hard blue clay.
Many types of dredges were used or
considered but of no avail. Finally
a "drag bucket" was designed by Lt.
Bowley weighing 7000 pounds which
when completed made about twenty-three
trips per hour up to the jetty.
In order to make the channel 200 feet
wide and draw T.5 feet it took this
bucket eight months to go the re­quired
length. In this drag line large
pulley blocks were used and two
chains over a span of 1200 feet were
necessary for the belt that was driv­en
by a steam windlass. All this was
performed where a smooth sea were
waves seven feet high.
He: "Leggo'my neck. I'm slipping."
She: "I ;iever did say that to you,
did I?"—Bulldog. ,
The Wirt Literary Society had a
very interesting debate Tuesday night
in Wirt Hall. The subject was, "Re­solved
that Compulsory R.~ O. T. C.
for State Colleges is Justifiable."
The affirmative was ably represent­ed
by Mr. C. R. Moore and Mr. Clyde
Brown. The negative side was ef­ficiently
handled by Mr. LeCrcy and
Mr. Lynch.
The gentlemen of the affirmative
brought out the following points:
preparedness is the greatest asset of
a nation; R. O. T. C. develops one
both mentally and physically; R. O.
T. C. had its origin-in necessity and
ur preparedness and is therefore jus­tifiable,
the discipline which one re­ceives
is very good in after life.
The negative gave the following
points: R. O. T. C. is expensive and
keeps our taxes from"being lowered:
it takes one's time away from the
course that he j s taking, and might'
cause him to fail; the next war will
be one of methods and not of men;
there is danger of the United States'
becoming militaristic like Germany.
The judges, M-. F. L. Tucker, Mr.
Bryant, and J. W. Randle after due
consideration decided in favor of the
negative. Mr. Tatum spoke on the
subject "Textile Industry moves to
D;xie" Mr. Tatuni Said that North
Carolina is the leading textile state
of the South, and that Northern mills
are fast moving to Dixie.
Mr. N. O. Smith had as his subject
'The Educational Storm in Washing­ton
State." Governor Hartley has
ousted President Suzzalo, of the Uni­versity
of Washington, because of
disagreements extending over a long
period of time, and the people of
Washington have started a petition
for the recall of Governor Hartley
President Suzzalo is very popular in
m
Washington, and has long been a
great educator, Governor Hartley is
likewise popular, and the outcome
is awaited with interest.
Miss Estelle Sentell, the critic,
•said that the program was very ef­ficiently
handled, and that she had
no criticism to make.
Several new members were present
and made short speeches, in which
they expressed their desire to become
a regular of the Wirt. They were
taken into the society, and given a
i.ordial welcome.

"Tennessee, in erecting this build-through
the nation, follows in part:
Address Follows:
"We are her* today to dedicate a
building to the education of young
women in home economics, making it
possible for' students of this univer­sity
to have training in home mak­ing
and in the several careers now
open to home economics graduates.
"That home making is the chief
business in Tennessee we conclude
from a study of the 1920 census sta­tistics.
152,708, or only about 20 per
cent of the Tennessee white womep
above . t en years of age, are reported
gainfully employed, and judging from
the fact that there are 420,477 white
families and that every family in­cludes
one home maker, there are
420,477 home makers, among the 716,-
696 white girls and women of ten
years and over in Tennessee. We are
therefore fairly accurate in saying
that about three-fourths of the wo­men
above the age of 20 years are
home makers. *
"The university has a responsibility
not only to these women, but to all
citizens of the state, in providing well
for home economics education, includ­ing
research.
"Of the 2,500 members of the Amer­ican
Association of Uuniversity No
men, the majority are married, and
we believe that the majority of wo­men
who graduate from this univer­sity
will be home makers, even though
a growing minority will choose a busi­ness-
or a professional career, for
homemaking is the career which of­fers
to women the greatest of all op­portunities
for service and for hap­piness.
South and makes it possible
graduates of the university to be
trained for l i f e ' in the fullest sense,
and through their work and influence
to rate the standards of home life.
"Fifty years ago the one profession
open to women was home making, but
in the fifty years from 1870 to 1920,
the number of women gainfully em­ployed
in the United States, according
to the census* increased from 1,800,-
000 to 8,500,000. However, a large
number of women gainfully* employ­ed
are giving at least part tifae to
home making.
"The woman who graduates from
college today is thinking of many
fields of activities and although her
ultimate choice may be home making,
she usually plans to spend at least a
few years after graduation in some
other occupation.
"The home economics graduate is
prepared for "both business and pro­fessional
work, which she can do in
the years intervening between gradu­ation
and marriage.
Careers Open to Graduates
"For those whose greatest satisfac­tion
comes from service and from
knowing thVt one's work has been the
means of helping people to live bet­ter

understanding of the part that home
building plays in our nation, home
economics will be taught from the
grammar school through college with
an increasing number of girls and
women studying the subject, making
a constantly increasing demand for
home economics teachers.
"Through the passage of the Pur-nell

were given additional funds for re­search,

suggestions and information from one

these colleges in planning for

Every land grant college in the
United States now with the exception
of five in our southern states, has a
strong home economics division. The

"Southern people have not yet'real-ized
the place'of home economics edu­cation

has not yet reached the place in the
educational program of the South that
it has in other sections of the country.

courses of study.' And home econom­ics
in our southern colleges is being
adapted to our progressive life.
In the land grant colleges of the
southern states, only about 6 per cent
of the home economics students de­clared
home making as their goal, al­though
we know.that this is the ulti­mate
goal for the majority. Fifty-seven
per cent are preparing to teach,
and about 20 per cent to be home

are preparing to be dietitians, about
four per cent are planning to enter
the commerical field, and in one state
10 per cent of the students are pre­paring
to do nutrition work in the

for women in the f-tates in which the
land grant colleges are not co-educa­tional,
less than two per cent of the

78 per cent are planning to teach,

"But why did we not hear more
about what Cleveland did? Had the
speakers forgotten that he was the
real father of our present navy?. He
found it obsolete, he left, it modern.
It was this new navy that won our
war with Spain. For the up-to-date
effective ships that showed such mark­ed
superiority in that test we were
indebted* chiefly to President Cleve­land
and his two brilliani secretaries
of the navy, Whitney and Herbert.

3. What About Our Navy
After all on Navy Day the main
interest is the navy. Some of us mis­sed
the old time references to oar na­tional
heroes. We are hero worship­ers.
We like to hear Captain Law­rence
say: "Don't give up the ship."
There is sfill a thrill in the impetuous
old seaman's contempuousness about
torpedos. It is fine to see again Dewey
so cool and quiet as he says, almost
casually, "You may fire when you are
ready, Gridley." It is all a wonderful
story of daring and adventure, and
we want more of it on Navy day.
"On the other hand was there
enough serious discussion of the sit­uation
as it is today? Do the Ameri­can
people realize what it means to
have far flung possessions beyond the
seas and a world wide trade? It is
not jingoism to insist that these must
be protected and that in the last
analysis this protection rests on the
navy. It is a great responsibility and
it is growing rapidly year by year.

He also eniphas?zed the tendency
on the part of the American people
to place the war hero on a more exal­ted
plane than the man who really
does something constructive for the
whole world. In answer to the ques­tion,
"What Price Glory?" he vent­ured
the opinion that we are paying
dearly for the "glory" of the battle­fields
by making the youth of the
the nation, who are eager to learn,
sacrifice for an education, in order
that we may pay off the debts that
went into sv. ords and bullets. ,
