TIGERS TO WIN
OVER BULLDOGS
Frosh Prexy
Tigers Beat Back Bulldogs
Until Relentless Attack Is
Unleashed In Second Half
20-13 VICTORY
Tigers Fight Way To Seventh
Place In National Rating
With Four Wins, One Tie
Led by Wilton Kilgdre, varsity full­back,
the Auburn Tigers hammered
their way to a 20-13 victory over
Georgia last Saturday while an esti­mated
crowd of 16,000, perspiring un-der
a broiling sun, looked on.
Kilgore played what was perhaps
the most brilliant game of his career
as he gained 179 yards on off-tackle
slashes and straight line bucks. In
addition, his magnif icient punting was
a beautiful thing to watch while he
bore his share of the tackling. He was
responsible for two of the Tigers three
tallies and for over half the yards
gained by the Plainsmen's running at­tack.
Team Works Well
The entire team gave a splendid ex­hibition
of football during the entire
first half with every man doing his
job well. It was only in the second
half that the Tigers seemed to be
dazed by the ferocious attack the
Bulldogs unleashed. They could do
little to stop the inspired Georgia
eleven as yard after yard was gained
until finally Harry Stevens, Bulldog
back, crossed the Auburn goal line for
a score—the first man to cross that
final stripe on the Bengals this year.
Coach Meagher's charges came back
like the fine team they are to ring up
another tally in the fourth quarter
after starting their drive late in the
third period. However, the Georgians
were not yet through fighting and
completely bewildered the Plainsmen
on a fake pass with Alf Anderson,
star halfback, doing the honors. As
the Auburn defense spread out to
cover a possible pass, Anderson wheel­ed
and scampered around his own left
end to speed 30 yards and cross the
goal line. However, he had stepped
out of bounds .on the ten "yard stripe
and the pigskin was brought back to
that point. On the very next play,
Anderson threw a touchdown pass to
Otis Maffet for their final score of
the contest.
Auburn Superior
All in all, the game lived up to
everyone's expectations and was a
f ine" example of what a poorer team
can do when playing against an old
rival. Although Auburn is undoubt­edly
a vastly superior outfit, they
were made to look weak in the third
quarter when the Bulldogs unleashed
their surprise attack. Previous to
this, the Tigers pushed the Georgians
all over the field with seeming ease
and had little trouble in crossing the
goal line twice.
In allowing the Bulldogs to score on
them, the Plainsmen had their goal
line crossed for the first time this
year. However, they are still in the
undefeated columns and have rung up
a total of four wins and one tie to
date. In addition, they-have climbed
to seventh place in national ratings
with the only Southeastern Confer­ence
teams rating above them being
L. S. U. and Tulane who occupy
second and fourth places respectively.
JOHN IVEY recently won the
race for presidency of the Fresh­man
Class over several opponents.
Besides this honor, Mr. Ivey is a
pledge of the Alpha Tau Omega
social fraternity and plays the
trumpet in the Auburn Band. His
home is in this city where he has
always lived.

will begin at seven-thirty, will be an
amusement program, for which there
will be a fifteen-cent admission charge.
Jack Cammack, master of ceremonies,
will introduce boxing, exhibition danc­ing,
music by a string band, a mock
faculty meeting of the agricultural
instructors, and the crowning of the
Harvest Queen. As an added attrac­tion,
there will be a greased-pole
climbing contest, open to everyone
who wishes to participate; and the
lucky person who reaches the top first
will receive a five-dollar bill.
Tickets are now on sale and can be
obtained from the following Ag Club
members: Velma Turnham, W. H.
Ward, Morris White, Max Vines, Car­roll
Price, J. Fihdley. A place in town
from which tickets can be bought will
be announced later.
Girls' Rifle Team Is
Sponsored By Cadets
The Auburn rifle team is sponsor­ing
a girls' rifle team for the first
time in the history of the school.
Last year, considerable interest was
created over the prospects for a girls'
club, but only recently "did plans be­gin
to materialize. A meeting has
been called for the girls interested in
forming such a club to meet in the
engineer class room this afternoon at
5:00 P. M.
If the club is organized, Captain
Erghott will probably coach the co­eds
in use of the firearms. Practice
will also be held at the rifle range on
the third floor of the Textile building
two evenings a week.
N O T I C E !
There will be a meeting of the In­ternational
Relations Club this Thurs­day
in 206 Samford at 7:00 P. M. All
members are urged to attend and to
bring any others interested in joining
the organization.

and Accounts in 1907. The local chap­ter,
Beta Lambda, was organized at
Auburn in 1931 with the purpose of
fostering the study of business in uni­versities,
to encourage scholarship and
the association of students for their
mutual advancement by research and
practice, to promote closer affiliation
between the commercial world and
students of commerce and to further
a higher standard of commercial
ethics and culture and the civic and
commercial welfare of the community.
The officers of the Beta Lambda
Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi are Milton
D.- Roth, president; J. Mills Thorn­ton,
vice president; Fred Schomberg,
secretary; and Frank Y. Conner, Jr.,
treasurer.

The University of Alabama Glee
Club will gave a concert in Langdon
Hall Wednesday night, November 11,
according to a statement released by
George Hairston, president of the
Auburn Glee Club which is sponsoring
the event.
This engagement marks the first of
its kind in the history of the two
schools and indications are that rela­tions
between the two institutions will
be on a much friendlier plane as a re­sult.
The Auburn singers will return
the visit with a concert at the Cap­stone
sometime in the Spring.
Composed of Two Groups
The Alabama club is directed by
"Uncle Tom" Garner who organized
the first Glee Club at Alabama 30
years ago. He has never left there
having been active director for every
club formed there. At present, there
are about 66 members on the active
roll who are divided into two groups
and sent on different tours. The Ala­bama
singers usually go on four trips
,a year.
Quite an extensive entertainment,
program is being planned for the visi­tors.
Hairston asks all fraternities to
house any member of the club who be­longs
to the same fraternity on the
campus.

Erosion Bulletin Is
Published By Profs.
Professor E. G. Diseker and R. E.
Yoder of the Agricultural Engineer­ing
Department have recently com­pleted
a technical bulletin on sheet
erosion studies of clay.
The bulletin is concerned with in­fluence
of strip cropping and erosion,
effect of erosion on yields, and re­lation
of slope to erosion.
The data compiled is a result of
eight years of experimental research
on ten control plots varying in slope
from 0 to 20 degrees. Two plots of
each slope were used in order to check
effects on different crops.
Professor A. Cannes, acting head of
Agricultural Engineering Department,
says that Auburn is pioneer station of
soil erosion studies.

FIVE TEAMS TAKE
GAMES IN TOUCH';
NON-FRATS START
Lambda Chi, Pi K. A., K. A.,
Delta Sigma Phi, And Sigma
Chi Are Victorious In Round
In the touch-football games, the
first seeded Lambda Chi's came
through in good fashion to win from
the A. L; T's by a score of 32 to 0.
The Pi K A's, after a battle, won from
the Alpha Gamma Rho 12 to 7 in the
best game played thus far. The K.
A's won from the Phi Delta Theta's 6
to 0. The Pi Kappa Tau team was
blasted from the running by the Delta
Sig's 20 to 6. In the only other game
played in the fraternity bracket the
Sigma Chi's completely outplayed the
T. K. N's by the score of 21 to 0.
One of the games which has attract­ed
quite a bit of interest is being
played today. This is the game be­tween
the "dark horses" T. U. O. and
the Beta Kappa's. The T. U. O's dis­played
a great deal of power in up­setting
the seeded S. A. E. team in
their first match. This game, the
game between the Sigma Nu's and A.
T. O's, and the match of the Theta
Chi's and S. P. E's are the only re­maining
contests to be played in the
second round.
Lopez Mantoux, leader of the fra­ternity
group, has- asked that the third
round be completed by Nov. 9 instead
of as first stated. This will allow
ample time for those teams which have
not completed their play in the second
round to do so.
Play in the independent group is to
start immediately. The leader of the
play in the- independent group, Joe
Sarver, has drawn up a bracket for
his teams. The bracket appears on
the fourth page.
The leaders of the different teams
will arrange matches as to place and
time.
Big Year Expected
By Auburn Rifle
Team-Report
The R. O. T. C. Rifle Team, with
four letter-men and ten experienced
shooters returning from last year, is
looking forward to a successful season.
According to Captain Ehrgott and
Sergeant Reeves, coaches of the teams,
this season will be longer than last
year's, and several trips will be made
by the team. Matches will be held
with Ft. Benning, University of Ala­bama,
Georgia Tech, and Florida. The
outstanding match of the season will
be the meeting of the Southern Con­ference
Teams on Auburnis range,
which is located in the attic of the
Textile Building. Captain Ehrgott
hopes to make this "Auburn's Match"
an unusual affair here.
Four Experienced Men
The four letter-men, H. F. Lee, M.
R. Panell, J. D. Robbins and R. E.
Strickland are all reliable shooters and
are expected to lead the team in scor­ing
this season. Lee, Panell and
Strickland attended the National Rifle
Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio last
summer. Lee and Panell are members
of the 4th Corps Area Rifle Team.
Besides the experienced men of the
team a number of new men will be
placed on the team. Practice and
elimination for these men will begin
next week. After the final elimina­tion
jthe Rifle Team will be composed
of about 30 members.

Burnside Addresses Relations Club
Far East Is Discussed At Recent Meeting
By JAMES BUNTIN
Glimpses of the countries of the Far
East were presented to the Interna­tional
Relations Club at its last meet­ing
by W. T. Burnside of the School
of Science and Literature. Prof.
Burnside visited these countries dur­ing
the year 1930 in an effort to ob­serve
living conditions of air classes.
He spent some time in the slums of
Kobe and other places studying con­ditions;
he, likewise, visited in the
homes of some of the most wealthy of
the Orientals.
Photos Shown
A series of photographs, many tak­en
personally, were exhibited, the most
interesting of these being a demon­stration
of Chinese methods of execu­tion;
these methods ranged from the
simple chopping of the head to the
rather intricate process of killing by
means of the thousand slices. Another
rather exquisite method, reserved for
special cases, consists of burying the
on either side of the head to prevent
movement, cutting of the lip, rubbing
the face with honey, and the release
of ants to finish the job.
Prof. Burnside pointed out that im­portant
social movements are in pro­gress
in Japan and China due to the
extreme inequalities in wealth; es­pecially
are these noticeable in Japan
where • «uch movements receive the
support and active leadership of Kag-awa.
Preparing for Conference
The Club is making active prepara­tion
for the Southeastern Conference
which is to be held on the Campus
next Spring. Committees for the
handling of the convention were
named.
Pursuant to the established policy of
the Club, bids will be extended during
the week to prominent faculty mem­bers
who will be invited to affiliate
with the Club in an associate capacity.
Announcement of this group will be
Forrest Fletcher, president of the
Southern Conference, has ruled that,
should any team in the conference re­main
undefeated and receive a Rose
Bowl football bid, the newly amended
regulations would provide no loop-hole
that would allow them to play.
The rule adopted at the last con­ference
meeting became effective Sep­tember
1 and states, "No post-season
football game will be permitted."
Fletcher interpreted the rule to
mean that no game could be played af­ter
the close of the regular schedule
whether for charity or in one of the
Christmas and New,Year's classics.
Cavaliers Will Play
For Marion Midterms
Woman's Riding Class
Has Increased Number
victim to the chin, placing sharp rocks made at a later date.
The Woman's Riding class, one of
the most popular extra-curricular ac­tivities
among the women students,
has increased to approximately seven­ty
riders this semester.
These classes are held four times a
week with each girl riding twice a
week. There are two beginner classes
and two advanced classes, with Cap­tain
K. L. Johnson and Captain W. G.
Klepinger instructing.
Lessons include the mastering of
three paces, walking, trotting, and
galloping. The abilities of the girls
are brought out at the Spring horse
show when the riders' aptitude at
handling ,a horse is tested.
Two Mile Stretch Is
Added To Paving Job
Announcement has been made of an
additional paving from Phenix City
on the Columbus highway coming
about two miles. This follows a recent
notice of four miles of concrete being
laid on the highway from Opelika.
Contracts have already been let for
this work and it will be completed at
an early date.
The two projects are to be financed
with Federal aid, with the work being
done by the Alabama Highway De­partment.
The Auburn Cavaliers have been
engaged to play for the Mid-Term
Dances at the Marion Military In­stitute
Friday and Saturday of this
week. The dance set will consist of
three dances, one on Friday and two
on Saturday.
Jimmie Hooper, manager of the or­chestra,
states that the cadets have
made elaborate plans for the affair
and expect the dances to be a great
success as is indicated by the large
number of girls scheduled to attend
them. The cadets and townspeople
are looking forward with much expec­tation
to the opportunity of dancing
to the music of this popular band.
The Cavaliers recently played for a
dance at the Selma High School for
the benefit of the Selma Band Fund.
They were well received at the Cotil­lion
Club football dance in Columbus
Saturday. The music of this swing
band has greatly increased in its popu­larity
in recent- weeks, especially in
school and college circles.
The orchestra will leave Auburn
Friday and arrive in Marion in time
to play for a dance that night.
N O T I C E !
All students interested in varsity

Alabama And South Handicapped
By Young Going North
One of the greatest handicaps un­der
which Alabama and the South in
general suffers is the loss of the serv­ices
of young men and women who
choose, after having reached maturi­ty,
to go North to live.
Of course the fields up North have
up to this time been more lucrative
and afforded greater opportunities,
but every time one of these Southern
young men and women choosesto leave,
it costs the state in which he lives a
great deal of money — all that has
been spent on his education and gen­eral
welfare. These losses of ener­getic
men and women have been a po­tent
factor in holding up the develop­ment
of Alabama's and the South's
enormous resources. In other words,
it is a drain upon our treasury and a
pouring in of human assets to the
North and other sections of the
country.
Dr. Charles Herty, nationally fam­ed
chemist of Savannah, in his speech
to a group of young people in Chatta­nooga,
stressed the fact that there
were enough possibilities in the South
to keep young men and women home
and busy, especially in chemistry and
related fields.
Mr. David E. Lilienthal spoke along
similar lines when he addressed the
men at the senior-alumni banquet at
.the University of Alabama on the
theme, "Stay South Young Man".
The appeals of such arguments as
these to Alabama's and the South's
young people should be especially
compelling. With such a wealth and
variety of raw materials and re­sources
as possessed by no other sec­tion
of the country, the South is limit­less
in its possibilities for young re­search
workers^in chemistry, agricul­ture,
iron and steel works, and related
fields.
It is up to these young men and
women to stay home and build for the
future of this part of the country in­stead
of crowding the already over­crowded
and over-exploited sections
in the North.
Republicans Find Little To
Shoot At In WPA Figures
Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress
Administrator, has published his first
comprehensive book on WPA projects
to explain exactly where every dollar
spent has gone. This budget was re­leased
after much goading on* part of
the Republicans who have taken ex­orbitant
administration costs as one
of the main points of attack on the
party in power.
Republicans have found little to
shoot at in Hopkins' figures: total ex­penditure
in WPA's first fifteen
months, $1,772,756,795; average ex­pense
for administering was 4.5 per
cent. The lowest regional administra­tion
cost, New York, 2.7 per cent;
highest, Montana, 8.6. So Hopkins
tears the accusation of his opponents
by showing that the money that was
supposed to be used on WPA projects
was spent for that purpose with the
least possible amount being used for
the actual administering of the aid.
In this book, "Spending to Save:
The Complete Story of Relief", he
says:
"We make no apology for the
money we have spent or the way we
have spent it . . . . The last Republi­can
administration let the people
starve. We feed them."
England Asks For Publicity
About Edward To Stop
Officials of the British Government
have appealed to certain figures in
United States in an effort to have a
major portion of the publicity about
her King and his friendship with Mrs.
"Wally" Simpson censored before
publication.
A certain well known banker
(name not disclosed), who has a great
deal of influence with the publishers
of Time, one of the magazines which
carries most of the "inside" on the
affair, has been asked to use his
power in an effort to halt this pub­licity.
As yet there has been no defi­nite
answer, the report stated.
England has always been disturbed
with the flippant and gallant Edward,
but this matter takes on a new and
more serious aspect. When one na­tion
must ask another to overlook the
actions of her king, she evidently is
not proud of those actions.
Of course there has been some un­just
and erroneous publicity going in­to
the papers; however, this would be
true in almost any matter which has
become of such international interest.
The core of the matter is that a king
is going to marry a commoner and no
matter how one states it, it will make
news—and gossip.
It seems the practical thing for
England to do would be to have her
King put an end to the "injurious
publicity" by having him abdicate.
This would be more sane than to ex­pect
the papers to drop the matter
with no further ado. *
Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Why are some women so unappreciative?
And why do some of them seem to think
that it is a man's duty to do all of the little
things that he may do for her hoping that
she will be pleased with them?
Things such as motion pictures, football
games, horseback riding, and countless other
pleasures that a man bestows upon some
sweet young thing are principally those
that I am speaking about. These pleasures
cost money, hard earned money to afford.
I am not harping about the money that it
costs to show a girl a good time. • I am in­terested
in knowing just why there is a
total lack of appreciation on the part of the
receiver of these favors.
I am not so dogmatic as to say that all
girls are unappreciative of favors bestowed
upon them by male companions, but my ob­servation
has been that nowadays they are
in the majority.
Not very long ago I asked a young lady,
a junior in college, although we were not in
the college town at the time I made the in­quiry,
if she were contemplating marriage
any time in the near future. She told me
that she was not. "Then what type of young
man would you prefer best," I asked her to
which she replied, "The one who spends the
most money on me," I have no doubt of her
sincerity in that statement.
So to me it seems that the1 women of to­day
are'perhaps more mercenary than were
women of an earlier period, though' perhaps
on a smaller scale. I mean by this that
they have favors showered upon them by a
larger list of men than did the hussies of
medieval times who bled one man at the
time.
Can it be that higher education of the fe­male
species has brought on this condition?
That is beyond my knowledge. The adage
has it that "Hell hath no fury like a
woman's wrath"; I believe almost the same
applies to an unappreciative woman.
Yours,
W. Wallace Owen. •

PERSONALITIES - By Son Thomas
"A CYCLING WE WILL GO, TRA LA"
The first time I ever saw' him he was
pedalling down College Avenue on a bicycle
about four sizes too small for him. The
diminutiveness of the vehicle, the earnest
sincerity with which the rider pumped, and
the meticulous care with which he had one
trouser leg tightly bound lest it become en­tangled
with the chain all these
gave me a split second impression which I
never altered. The impression was that
here is the perfect example' of "rugged in­dividualism".
And, believe me, you'll think
so too after you get to know him.
ALL SMILES
He's the kind of a guy who believes in the
bright side of everything and everybody, yet
he knows how to attend strictly to business.
He's just like a kid when it comes to practi­cal
jokes because he loves to pull one. A
favorite trick of his is to breeze into his
classroom spieling Off some foreign langu­age
with machine gun rapidity until his
students are reeling with laughter and be­wilderment,
and then to very condescending­ly
translate everything he has said.
HE'S BEEN PLACES
He has spent two years of his colorful
life in the army including sixteen month's
service in France. He did some translating
work for the 1st Army Artillery whose
headquarters were at Bar-sur-Aube. Not
satisfied with a Masters degree from Cor­nell,
he lived with French and German
families in Geneva, Switzerland and Han­nover,
Germany studying all the
while. The remainder of his education was
obtained at Dijon, and Strasbourg, France,
and Heidelberg, Germany, where he took
summer courses, and at the London Collegi­ate
Institute in Canada. Quite complete . .
. . don't you think?
THE WANDERLUST
This fellow goes somewhere every sum­mer,
usually to Europe. I didn't ask him in
what country he would travel this summer
: he probably doesn't know him­self,
yet. But I'd bet my best shirt that he
won't spend his vacation in Auburn. *
AW, YOU KNEW
There isn't much use in telling you his
name now, because you will have already
guessea. But, for the benefit of the Fresh­men
who don't know him, it's none other
than one of our professors of Foreign
languages "Baldy" (Balled-Eye)
Roe.
Get to know him, Rats, he's the best tonic
for the blues you'll ever find!
On Other Campuses — By The Wanderer
MORE DIRT
The department of psychology of DePauw
University conducted an investigation to de­termine
what topics of conversation were
most popular with students outside the
classroom. The results were not surprising;
the opposite sex topped the list followed by
college studies and campus affairs. Cul­tural
subjects were in last place.
* * * *
LAB COURSE
i A student at Hobart this fall enrolled for
a course in criminology. The next morning
he was arrested for giving the registrar a
bad check, for cashing two more hot checks,
and looting a fraternity house.
* * * *
A RUSHING BUSINESS
Up at Syracuse University, the number
of a gas station was accidently listed in the
phone book as that of a student boarding
house. The operator of the station is now
convinced that all fraternities are no good;
he was rushed by them all—over the tele­phone.
* * * *
SWING TIME
At the Kentucky-Florida game the 95
piece Kentucky band startled everyone pres­ent
by rockin' through "The Organ-Grinder
Swing". At the L. S. U.-Mississippi State
game the bands of both schools put on a
special act. The catch was that both bands
unknown to each other had the same idea.
Each came out and paraded with their play­ers
well-deeorated with lights.
PARLEY VOUS? ,
At Russell Sage College coeds majoring in
French live in the newly established "French
House" dormitory, where only the French
language may be spoken; even the style of
the furniture is French. We suppose that
the girls take their leaves in similar fashion.
* * * *
GOING MODERN
Five students at the University of
Georgia have a novel way of cutting down
expenses at school: automobile trailers have
been towed to convenient, but obscure places
on the campus, where electrical connections
could be had. They claim they save half of
their original college expenses.
* * * *
THEY'LL NEED HIM
The Bayou Tigers from Baton Rouge have
bought themselves a mascot; a real, live,
kicking Bengal Tiger. The students of L. S.
U. decided that the team needed a mascot
so everybody was asked to chip in' twenty
five cents. The response was so great that
the necessary $750 was raised almost im­mediately.
When the tiger arrived the stu­dents
declared themselves a holiday. Barri­cades
were set up across all roads leading
into the campus and professors were re­fused
admission. Even the car of the Presi­dent
of the University was halted. The
Tiger "is" fully grown and eats twelve pounds
of meat each day. Student leaders of L. S.
U. have stated that they have .decided to
feed one freshman per day to the Bengal,

CONGRATULATIONS
. . . without detracting any of the glory
of the home team . . . to the Bull Dawgs
of Georgia. The psychological effect of
being 13 to 0 at the end of the half must
have been uncle-awful, with brown borders.
Not only not gaining first base during the
first half, they bodaciously lost four yards.
Not only not getting past the line of
scrimmage; they lacked a yard or two of
even reaching their side of the line. And
in three of four plays at the start of the
second half, and they had scored a touch­down
on a team that had played the best
in the Conference and hadn't been scored
on. That is the same spirit that enabled
Alabama to beat Washington 20 to 19 after
being behind from the first bell; Alabama
to tie Stanford 7 to 7, with a fourth down
touchdown that carried eight yards straight
through the Stanford line that had been
holding - them hitless all afternoon; Tech
to beat Duke 6 to 0, when Duke already
almost had train tickets to the Rose Bowl,
and the same spirit that has carried Au­burn
from 1925, from an eight year period
of no wins and very few ties, to the
present time.
It's a pleasure to see such spirit. And
one of the things that always makes an
Auburn-Georgia game one of the best of
the year.

A COLLEGE MAN'S DREAM
of dying: The shivering, scared, little man
stood in the middle of a marble floor
thousands of miles high. Not as high as
the sky, nor as low as the heatherlands,
sort of. twixt as it were. There were two
thrones sitting there to either side of the
middle whereupon stood the scared little
man. Upon one of these thrones sat
Gabriel, the other was empty. The little
man stood and stood, saying not a word,
nor did Gabriel say a word to him. After
hours the little man, still the little man,
still stood silent, but the angel had begun
to fidget, pull at his coat collar and look
at the other throne. The other throne •
held nothing, yet. The other throne, as
we might have guessed, would have held
the Devil, had not the Devil been late as
the Devil.
Hours again, and the fidgiting was now
openly rebellious. After one final look
at the empty throne, and with a straight­ening
of his collar, as if his sense of fair
play had been justified, the angel beckoned,
and the little man went, and stood in front
of the throne. Gabriel quit his seat and
came downf to talk in a low voice, with
his hand on the little man's shoulder, and
another hand pointing up to the sky. The
little man nodded, and the angel came
close and seemed to be pinning something
over the little man's heart.
About that time up came Lucifer, took
his throne and beckoned the little man.
The little man went and stood in front of
the second throne, and down came the
Devil, to engage him in earnest conversa­tion,
with many a pointing down, way
down, below the marble floor. The little
man shook his head, and then throwing out
his chest, and showing a little gold harp
pinned there, said: "I am sorry Sir, but I
just pledged Heaven."

Donald Cottier Wins
F.F.A. Corn Judging
Donald Cottier, an Auburn High
School student and F. F. A. member
won the two dollar prize for guessing
closest to the actual yield of a corn
demonstration project on the farm of
Judson Pittman.
This demonstration consisted of
two and one-half acres of corn, two of
which was rendered with 200 lbs. of
Chilean Nitrate of Soda per acre, the
other acre received no fertilizer. The
yield from the nitrate area was 29.5
bushels per acre, and from the non
nitrate plot 9 bushels per acre.
Cottier's guess after being averaged
up for both plots showed that he only
missed the actual yield one fourth of
a bushel. Other close guesses were
Paul Starr, Jimmie Seal, Jack Moore
and Hodge Howard.
The information concerning the
Wildlife Research program printed in
The Plainsman was printed without
the knowledge of the persons con­cerned;
consequently, many parts of

of implications of curriculum
development for the higher institu­tions.

Alabama will be that of studying the
fundamental principles which should
control in the selection and evalua­tion
of the materials of study and
procedures in our schools," said Dr.
Judd. "Every superintendent, prin­cipal,
supervisor, arid teacher will be
interested in this study.
"The School of Education at Au­burn
has sensed for years the signi­ficance
of this problem and has been
conducting studies in the field. We
find ourselves, therefore, vitally in­terested
in the program and we solic­it
your interest .and participation."
500 Looms Installed
In Pepperell Mills
The installment of 500 new looms
at the Pepperell Mills in Opelika for
the manufacture of wide sheets and
pillow tubing will necessitate the hir­ing
of from 200 to 300 new workers
officials of the Company stated last
Thursday.
Ten carloads of looms have already
arrived, and six to eight, more are ex­pected
shortly.
Batson and Cook Company of West
Point, Georgia has already started
construction on the buildings needed
to house the new looms.
Recently the Pepperell Company de­clared
a five per cent increase in sal­ary
for the Opelika Mill as well as for
six of their other mills in the Valley.
This increase in pay should throw
more money into the local trade chan­nels.

Parking Meters Will
Not Be Used In B'ham
Premeditated worries on the part of
Auburn motorists, who have been fear­ing
the parking meters in Birming­ham,
might be abandoned because
Judge J. B. Smith has said, "no go"
with the meters.
The depositing of a nickel for a
few minutes' parking or a few hours
in jail for forgetting to deposit it has
not made automobile owners here over-jubilant
for the oncoming game in the
"Smoky City."
This injunction came about by sev­eral
citizens objecting to the fact that
the city streets were to be rented.
Former Auburn Grad
Visits For Few Days
W. B. Nickerson, class of 1912, chief
sales manager of Brown and Bigelow,
visited Auburn a few "days ago. Mr.
Nickerson, formerly of Jackson's Gap,
took his Master's degree in 1913,
taught in Atlanta Technological High
School, was clerk for the Aviation
Board in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
during the World War, and went into
business after the war was over. His
rise in his profession has been rapid.
His interest in literature, art, and
writing, which he says was stimulated
by English courses at Auburn, has
been a distinct factor in his rise to
his present position. He attributes his
success to the fact that his daily work
in the business world has made special
demands on his imaginative qualities.
A set of booklets prepared for his
staff has been used in courses in busi­ness
writing as examples of effective
style.
Mr. Nickerson visits Auburn about
once a year. The occasion of this visit
was the illness, of his mother. Besides
looking in on the college, he called on
two brothers who are sophomores.

Welcome New Ideas
Young people today should find much to their liking in the
policies of management adopted by our modern railroads.
Nothing is sacred merely because it is old. Policies are based
solidly upon theiest-tube findings of current public useful­ness
and favor. • Consider these evidences ofv railway
experimentation: Reduced fares, faster and more convenient
schedules, streamline trains, added comfort and beauty in
passenger equipment, lower-priced meals, air-conditioning,
free pillows for coach passengers, free pick-up and delivery
of less-than-carload freight—such innovations btfng luster
to the long-held railway advantages of safety, economy and
dependability. • The Illinois Central System is especially
proud of its Green Diamond, $425,(XX)mile-a-minute stream­line
train recently placed in service. It has been called a
rolling laboratory, in which will be worked out principles
affecting the development of
future passenger transporta­tion,
and it embodies the latest
findings of science in a wide
variety of fields. Favorably
received,it gives everypromise
of fulfilling its chosen mission.
• Thus deeds give proof of prog­ress
and confirm the skilled
determination of railway man­agement
and personnel to keep
in the very forefront of trans­portation.
American railroads
in such ways are daily justify­ing
their kinship with the
college and university world.
REMINDER...
Education today must keep in
touch with the railroads.
Fundamentals everybody ought
to know are what the railroads
mean as carriers, employers, tax­payers,
purchasers, fields oi
investment and foundations of
national defense.
Educators especially should
remember that railway taxes
keep 1,600,000 students in
school; that railway bonds are
the backlog of many an endowed
institution; that the railroads
today, in keeping with the spirit
of all true education, are forging
ahead progressively to new goals.
