With the first semester well past
the half way mark the number of
students is practically constant, An
examination of the Registrar's; records
reveals the largest number of men
and women students enrolled in the
long history of the institution. The
present total exceeds that of the cor­responding
period last year by fifty-six.
Engineering courses, including
electrical, civil, mechanical, chemical,
architectural, and highway engineer­ing,
are far in the lead With Rightly
less than half the total number. These
departments claim 727 seudents. Gen­eral
Business, with an enrollment of
180, tops the remainder of the
courses.
According to Professor B. L. Shi,
registrar, more out-of-state' students
are registered here in the freshman
! class than ever before.
The enrollment according to the
courses is as follows: general, 96;
general business, 180; home econom­ics,
55; agriculture, 70; agricultural
education, 136r secondary education,
147; chemical engineering, 67; chem­istry
and metallurgy, 2; pre-medical,

medicine, 16. Total, 1582.
Mr. Young requests that all
students cooperate with him by
rolling up all suits and trousers
and put them into the laundry
bag with^ your other laundry.
It will eliminate all delay and
confusion due to tags being lost
as they do when they are sent
separately.
Forty-eight hour service on
suits sent 'in separately wijl be
given in case of emergency, such
as boys leaving town. Better
service will be given if you will
only cooperate and comply with
this suggestion.

TO HONOR LOCAL DRUGGIST
AUBURN VARSITY SQUAD
Here it is, the big team, outfitted in the season's war togs and < fresh from the thick of the fight. At a
glance one can hardly refrain from remarking upon the presence of many sophomores and juniors on the
squad. The varsity this season, under the able direction of head-coach Morey and coaches Papke, Pitts,
Moulton, and Spinks, has made an enviable name for itself and has created a reputation for hard, clean
fighting.
The thirty-seven young warriors pictured above have very creditably upheld Auburn's reputation on the grid­iron
this season and with the return of most of the regulars, bid fair to become strong contenders for Con­ference
honors next fall. In defeating Chattanooga, Howard, Tulane, Clemson, and Sewanee the Tigers
have shown flashes of championship form. In the games in which they have been defeated, stiff opposition
has always been encountered by the opposition.
Without an abundance of scrub material this year the varsity could hardly have succeeded, for it is against
them that the offense of the big team is created 'and trained. The unusually large number of reserves has
aided materially in the several campaigns of the season. Time after time at the crucial periods of the con­tests,
fresh material has succeeded in overcoming weary opponents. Captain Salter, Turner, Pruitty Allen,
Nelson, and Market will play their last game in an Orange and Blue uniform on Grant Field next Thursday.

For Submitting
Essays
Despite the fact that a generous
prize of twenty-five dollars has been
offered, for the H&est theme on the
subject, "Advantages of an Honor
System to a College," by the local
Honor Committee, very little interest
has been awakened. As a consequence
very few themes have been submitted.
The contest was scheduled to have
closed on November 20, but, because
of the mid-semester quizes, the date
has been set back to -December 4.
This two week's extension should
bring forth more articles as the com
petition is rather light. It is urged
that the freshmen, especially, take
an interest in the contest.
The rules governing the contest
are as follows:
1. Subject: The subject of the
theme will be, "Advantages of an
Honor System to a College."
2. Contestant: Any registered
student.
3. Contestants may receive help
from any source except members of
the Honor Committee.
4. The order of grading: (a)
Contents, (b) Grammar, (c) Neat­ness.
5. The judges will be: (1) Miss
Dobbs, (2) Dr. Allison, (3) Prof.
Thomas.
6. Presentation: The theme shall
be presented on a standard theme

of each sheet shall be a conspicu­ous

In addition to the numerous im­provements
in Auburn, which have
occurred during the last year, a sys­tem
of street lights is now under
construction, to be completed about
the middle of December.
The lamps are to be placed from
Magnolia avenue and extended north
down College street to the railroad at
one-hundred foot intervals. The
posts consist of a green cast iron
structure, thirteen feet high with one
frosted globe eighteen inches in diam­eter,
lighted by 250 candle power
lights. The lights are all connected
on one circuit and controlled at the
power house.
The active part that Professor Dun-stan
and Mr. J. W. Drake are taking
in the work has made possible the
completion. For this activity the
students as well as the citizens of
Auburn are greatly in debt to -them.

Not always do lectures at Auburn
prove repellant, as one might be led
to believe after listening to members
of the various lecture classes. Only
last Tuesday, in Rat convocation, the
lecture of Rev. Haye's was the cause
of a member of the Freshman class
ramaining at Auburn. The Rat in
question had become rather disheart­ened,
and was preparing to depart
from college. After listening to Rev.
Haye's impressive phrases on bull­dog
tenacity and staying in the game,
this freshman changed former inten­tions,
and is now still an Auburn stu­dent.
Lectures are seldom appreciated to
their full value; though that does not
by any means indicate that they are
not instrumental and of lasting good.
The lecture of Rev. Haye's has doubt­less
converted a weary and discon­tented
fleeting Rat to a substantial
four year student. No doubt this
speaker thought little of the trans­formation
he was bringing about by
his speech; nevertheless his talk was
worthily effective. If no other ben­efits
had been derived, his efforts
were duly paid for this in one in­stance.
Just as this speaker was radiating
goodness, many others unconsciously
do the same. Though their effective­ness
is well directed, it often reaches
much farther than is expected
This particular instance should be an
inspiration to all lecturers appearing
before student groups. It should
serve to counteract the many forms
of disapproval that are far too often
apparent.
Fifteen rahs for the converted Rat.
May he ever remember this impressive
speech, and stay in the game. He
is now being watched and is expected
to be in the ranks of the happy '30
graduating class. And to all other
discontented Rats; let this be a last­ing
lesson.
Tuesday's Rat convocation period
delivered to almost a hundred percent
present class a very interesting pro­gram.
Mr. Roy Dimmitt, director of
student activities, officiated.
The exercises opened with the sing­ing
of the Alma Mater song, led by
the Auburn Band instructor, Mr. P.
R. Bidez. Devotional exercises were
conducted by the student pastor, Rev.
Langston.
Mr. Dimmitt announced that here­after
the orchestra selection would
be given after all students were seat­ed,
rather than while they were
marching in. This change was made
so that the playing might be heard
above the confusion. At this time
a selection was given by the orchestra.
Rev. Mr. Hay, Auburn's new
Presbyterian pastor, was the principal
speaker of the hour, being introduced
as a member of the class of '30. He
was received heartily, with loud ap­plause
from the students; they re­joiced
in the fact that they had gain­ed
this new influential member.
Rev. Hay's texts were: The Hare
and the Tortoise, Bulldog Tenacity,
and Christ on the Cross. His talk
was exceedingly appropriate and en­joyed.
The "stick-to-it-iveness" ad­vice
given was in accord with the
needs of many Freshmen; no doubt
this speech renewed the hold on col­lege
life for many listeners. Many
striking instances were related, giv­ing
strength to the speaker's message.
During Rev. Hay's discourse on
the Bulldog, a member of this canine
tribe arose near the center of the
auditorium with yelps of approval,

Ihe hall, this member immediately
Volume 30 of the Glomerata, local
annual, will be dedicated to Homer
Wright, popular Auburn druggist, ac­cording
to word received today from
Fred Ledbetter, editor-in-chief of the
publication. The announcement of
Mr. Wright's selection for this honor
was received with enthusiasm by those
students intimately acquainted with
him.
A graduate of the class of 1907,
Mr. Homer, as he is affectionately
known to Auburn men throughout the
entire south, has been a loyal support­er
of Auburn and worthy exponent
of the famous Auburn spirit.
Born at Wright's Mill
The man who has been thus hon­ored
by one of the south's greatest
schools is proud of the fact that he
was born and reared in the county.
He often refers to himself as - "the
country boy from Wright's millpond."
Wright's Mill, his birthplace, is lo­cated
five miles southeast of Auburn
and derived its name from the Wright
family's residence there.
Scrubbed in Baseball
Mr. Wright came to Auburn in
1903 and immediately manifested his
interest in athletics by going out for
the baseball team on which he served
as substitute shortstop for four years.
Beside this contribution, he' was a
member of the famous Auburn band.
After leaving Auburn, he entered
the pharmaceutical business in Laurel,
Mississippi.
In 1909 he returned to Auburn and
opened his present establishment
where he has been ever since.
Greater Auburn Boaster
Mr. Homer has always been a great
booster for Auburn and is one of the
greatest friends the students of the
institution have ever had. He has
not only helped the star athletes
through college but has repeatedly
evidenced Ms sympathy by helping
many other unfortunate youths to
gain an education. Many of his fine
qualities have been hidden under the
cloak of modesty and words fail in
the attempt to express a sense of the
indebtedness of Auburn to this gen­erous
and loyal citizen.
As a consequence of his liberality
his drug store is universally popular
with the student body and the expres­sion,
"Meet you at Mr. Homer's," is
very common on the campus./

Alumni Hall, or the Boys' Dormitory.
The new office is across the hall from
the Glomerata office, and is much
more convenient than the one that
was formerly occupied, as the room
is much larger than that at the Y.

necessary fixtures are not crowded

office.
The main reason for the change
was the Y. M. C. A's need of room
in the building, and the Plainsman's
need of room in the office.

SAVE A LIFE
As the holiday season draws near, the
eyes of the nation are directed toward the
attractive displays in the shop windows of
the cities while the rural citizens are eager­ly
scanning the pages of the mail order cat­alogue.
We, as students, are looking for­ward
to the days when we shall be liber­ated
for a short time to enjoy the hospital­ity
of our homes.
But in the anticipation of our fondest
pleasures we should not lose sight of the
sad fact that there are thousands for whom
the festive season will give no respite in
their grim struggle with the spectre of
Death. There will be no armistice for them
in their battle with the awful White Plague.
It is to these, our fellow citizens, that we
should turn our eyes in sympathy.
. ' An avenue is provided whereby we may
render assistance where it is most truly
needed in purchase of Christmas seals. The
national, state and local tuberculosis associ­ations
of the . United'.States cooperate in
the distribution.of Junds-to-their proper
sources and are elosely united in the humane
effort to stamp the loathed disease out of
this country.
It is not only the patriotic duty of every
-, citizen to aid in this noble undertaking by
purchasing these stamps, but it is their dis­tinct
privilege. Soon the—Nineteenth An­nual
Christmas Seal Sale will be launched
and the students of this institution will be
asked to do their part in insuring the suc­cess
of this campaign. Several booths will
be distributed over town and the race with
Death will have begun anew.
Will Auburn buy her quoto of these seals?
The affirmative reply is dependent upon the
action the student body chooses to take in
regard to this enterprise. In past years
the response of the men and women of
Auburn has been most gratifying to the
state headquarters and has been in accord
with the ideals of the institution. The call
has come again. Shall we heed it?
To obtain the best results locally it is
necessary that we understand that the seal,
which we purchase with our carefully hoard­ed
penny, is merely symbolical of our con­tribution
to worthy charity. If we hesitate
to measure the value received in the custo­mary
dollars and cents we should probably
remark an economic deficiency. Our dona­tion,
slight though it may be, may help to
restore some unfortunate child to health,
a child, who, unable to defend himself, was
born into the world inflicted with this ter­rible
malady.
We should suggest that the sevxeral class­es
adopt resolutions pledging their support
to the annual sale of these stamps.

AUBURN'S GREATEST FARCE
Several years ago when, by official decree
organized hazing was abolished as a means
for disciplining the freshman a substitute
was provided in the belief that old tradi­tions
could be better upheld in a gentle­manly
manner. With this end in view the
present, or existent in theory, organization
was perfected, to be known as the Vigilance
committee.
In order that the newly created tribunal
might retain a vestige of the power that
once was the upperclassman's, a set of rules
and regulations was drafted. This list was
respectfully submitted to the freshman class
for their august approval and when it sig­nified
its acceptance these rules of conduct
were generally conceded to be college laws.
To enforce the penalty for disobedience
of these "do's" and "don't's" the vigilance
committee was elected, being composed of
four seniors, three juniors, and two sopo-mores.
So much for the why an where­fore
of the organization.
From all parts of the campus the query
comes to us. "Why haven't these rules been
enforced"? A number of excuses for this
apparent laxity immediately suggested
themselves. In the first place the election of
these committeemen have been left up to the
three upper classes and these bodies have
been prone to select as their representa­tives
football men of tried physical effic­iency.
Football season, coming as it does
at the first semester, the initiation period
of the new student's year, naturally oc­cupies
most of their time and attention. As
a result of this condition freshman are re­lieved
both from the old method of intro­duction
to Auburn life as well as the newer
and more inefficient.
The opposition from the first year men
themselves has served to dampen the ardour
of the exponents of the present system.
Although this can hardly be said of the rats
this year it has been noticable in the past
that freshman, after repeated infractions
of the rules, were rather resentful for the
action taken by the committee. These vig­ilantes
are thoroughly human and any task
that might bring on a personal enmity would
naturally be distasteful to them.
In the final analysis, the real trouble lies
with those from whom the complaints are
eminating. They have an important duty
to perform in the operation of this plan,
that of reporting to the committee the names
of all rats whom they find breaking one of
these rules. We venture to state that there
have not been a dozen names reported this
semester.
We are heartily in favor of rigidly enforc­ing
these regulations. If not, there is but
one alternative, reversion to the old organ­ized
hazing. We should not countenance
this disobedience of college orders.
Something must be done in the near
future or the freshmen will be robbed of
the anticipation of the prestige supposedly
enjoyed by the seniors. They have usurped
many of these so-called privileges now and
the novelty will have worn off long before
they enter the home stretch. It is our duty
to them to see that their just desserts as
new students be conscientiously administer­ed
We hold it true that TO SPARE THE
PADDLE IS TO SPOIL THE RAT.
THE DISHONOR OF DISHONOR
"Dr. Percy Marks, a recognized authority
on all phases of Collegiate Life in these
United States since the publication of his
stupendous, soul-searching, aexy volume of
statistics entitled, "The Plastic Age," holds
forth at length in this month's issue of "Col­lege
Humor" on Honor Systems in Colleges
and the various phases and features of
these. He is very frank and sincere and by
these two artless means succeeds in reveal­ing
an enormous amount of ignorance as
well as making several statements stupid
to that degree called crass. And then he
poses in a puglistic and controversy atti­tude
as if expecting some reply, but at the
same time resting muddy feet on the super­ior,
unassailable pedestal of Jhe faculty
prestige that may almost never be attacked.
"Professor Marks says he has never been,
in an examination room in which he did not
find cheating; that rather than report a
fellow student another will protect him;
that a student who would report a fellow
student would be ostracized forever; and
that he himself would respect more a stud­ent
who kept quiet in the face of a violation
of an honor system ruling than one who
"peached."
"Now when the Honor rules are imposed
in desperation by a weak faculty upon an
unwilling student body rebellion might be
understood, but not rebellion by underhand­ed
methods and never a violation of a vol­untary
ruling of the student body. For
honor is not to be handled lightly and there
are never two sides to an affair involving
honor. - \
"Perhaps these charges may be true of
some colleges; we can not say, never having
been to a college. But we are hardly will­ing
to accept such serious statements ver­batim
without hearing more evidence.
"At the Virginia Military Institute, how­ever,
cold fact would refute Professor
Mark's scathing expose and delegate it to
the same pile on which repose the terrible
and sensational stories of the yellow jour­nals.
He might even "investigate" our
school and our honor system and see what
he could discover. He might interview con­fidentially
that exceptional person, t h e|
average cadet, and report on him. He
might visit a class room where everyone
works at the board or we might arrange for
him to peep in the window of an examina­tion
room. And then he might follow the
same proceedure at several other colleges
and give his apologies as great publicity as
his insults have drawn."—V. M. I. Cadet.
Some fellows get more kick out of dream­ing
than others get out of making dreams

COLLEGE EDUCATION
College education is now two things that
it usd not to be—it is arpid and it looks to
making the mind efficient rather than to
the mind's adornment. Students come from
all classess in the community and will take
their training into a hundred diverse em­ployments.
What type of colleg man suc­ceeds
in after life? My feeling is that he is
not the chap who was into everything, a hail
fellow well met, receiver of the medal pre­sented
to the most popular student. He is
apt to be a man who, not devoid of sociabil­ity
and careful to keep himself in geod trim
physically. It is easy to be drawn so deep
into student activities that a man feels he
owes them primary allegiance. As a. mat­ter
of fact, a few years later on one of his
fellows he can remember who held that office
Student activities are, taken by and large,
the greatest time wasters in college, even
ahead of laziness. They give very little in
return for the hours spent in their service.

MID-TERM REPORTS
To borrow one of the much used expres­sions,
"It won't be long now!" Grades for
the mid te*m go in Saturday, soNwe may
expect the reports to be out a few days
after. Of course everyone is more or less
interested in seeing his or »her grades, be­cause
they represent practically three long
months of study and hard work. These
grades do not represent the best. work
from some students, in fact, most of them.
Our work this year has been rather discon­nected
or broken up by the football games
each week-end.
Football is the best sport in the world,
and we are not denying that,, but they
have a very bad effect on the students ivf
college. The first game of the season is
usually played around September 23. After
that, there is a football game every week­end
until after Thanksgiving. Of course
this is demoralizing, because the student is
always thinking about the game that is
to be played Saturday, how it will come out
whether a certain man that has been out of
the game on account of injuries, will get in,
an so on. His.»ind is continually on the
coming game and it is practically impossible
to concentrate on his lessons. What is the
result? The professor gives a quiz and
nine times out of ten the student does not
know what it is alK about. He has not
been following the Professor in his lectures,
and as we all know, the Professors nearly
always grve two or three questions on their
lectures. Well in the end, the student fails
on the quiz. He will probably have
another one, and by luck he may pass it,
but it Will-be mostly luck if he (Joes pass
it. He is turned in deficient, the "notice of
same goes home to the folks, he gets a
letter jacking him «p about it, and wanting
to know why he is not making any better
grades. The result—the student gets dis­couraged,
or a "don't care" feeling. Now
this is not his fault altogether, but he
probably could have done better than he did.
Well who is responsible for his low grades
and not paying attention in class? Who?
ft is the universal football spirit found in
every college of today. Naturally each
student is interested in his team and wants
Jhem to be champions if possible. The team
is taiifed upon the campus and in the
homes and fraternity houses. Various
means and devices are utsud in cheating a
high-pitched interest in the football team.
This is net necessary because it is natural
that the students shpuld do everything
possible to boost their team. So the student
is swept away in the mad excitement#that
exists in football season, He does his bit
by attending all pep meeting? and in var­ious
other ways too numerous to mention
here.
So if you* grades' are below your expecta­tions,
do not get downhearted. Made up
your mind that you are going t& get gome
results. Buckle down, and show the folks
at home the stuff that you are made out
of. These grades are behind you now. They
are history, se forget them, and think
about^ the future. Wwfc conscientiously
and .consistently, and when the ««xt report
comes out, you will see the excellent results
that come only from real concentrated

SELF.DIRECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS.
Norman Fenton
Wqrld Book Company, Yonkers. $11.40
The story is told of a rather tight-fist
ed farmer who attempted to reduce his
feed costs by training his cow to eat saw­dust
instead of a grain-ration. The ex­periment
was a great success, but the cow
died just about the time she had learned to
get along on the substitute.
In the field of methods of study many
students have an experience much like that
of the poor cow.' They hope to succeed
in their academic and professional train
ing in spite of the fact that they ignore
more or less consistently, the principles
which underlie successful study; Unlike
the farmer they-do not do it intentionally.
The result, however, is just the same—
schoastic failure, or work on a level far ber
low the capacity of the student,
It is rather singular that education has
paid so little attention to the methods of
study used by the individual student, ft
is only within the past decade that any
significant thought has been given to &
The disturbing fact which emerges from
the' investigations and attempts to teach
students how to study and work effectively
is the discovery that it is possible to bring
about a great improvement through such
efforts, ft is only the exceptional individ­ual
who hits upon the bes* procedures.
The average student manages to survive,
or to do only mediocre work, by dint of
an energy expenditure,' which directed,
would enable hirn to get much more from
his work than he does.
During the past few months a number
»f books havipg as their purpose helping
the student to find the methods and pro­cedures
which will insure—if not scholastic
success—at least a measure pf success in
keeping wi|h the tune and application
given. While all of them are good, pne in
particular is worthy of the attention. of
every Auburn student. Dr. Fenton, of
Ohio University, has written a very ad­mirable
presentation of the subject bearing
the title "Self-Direction and Adjustment."
Unlike some of the others, it is short and
to the point, the,kind of book the bu^sy
college student feels that he has time to
sit down and master,
Of course there is no royal road to
learning- There is no magic short-cut
which the student needs to aftend, ?he
average reader will be surprised when he
finds that the conditions for effective study
are considered first. Yet, he soon realizes
that unless he takes advantage of the simple
conveniences which are available to all of
us there will be too large an output of
energy for the returns. The need for
good health—which does no£ mean mprely
the absence of jll heatth>-js demonstrated
and some very sensible suggestions g|ven.
Many Students are given to worrying, to
day-dreaming, to perypusness to no small
degree. Dr. Fenton tells them how these
may be overcome.. The matter of fatigue
is considered, also in a very sensible way.
With such an jn£rpduc$ion, the author
/then deals with the elements in effective
study=—concentration, pelfrdependence. Will
power, memory, origin*HfcF #nd thinking,
and reading. Each of these is discussed
from^the practical point of ivew. The
student who reads these topics with the
question in mind,"What is there here for
me?" Wiil gain much.
Yethe will need, also, the wealth of sug­gestion*
in the .chapter, "How to Study."
The author draws .on practical experience
as W#H as psychology for the material
which he offers,
' Finally the matter of ambition and Ideals
is treated. At first thought they seem
rather unimportant. As a matter of fact
they )je at the bottom of all success.
In his introduijjbion Dr. Fenton warns
the'reader that a mere re»$ng of this book
will be of littje value. A study Of ȣ is
worth not much more. For it to be an
influence it musjt be practiced. Most stu­dents
have a host pf habits many of which
are of tittle value |f not genuinely harmful
in this field- New ones must be built up
in their place- For that reason ft would
be weU to buy the book and to use it in
laying out a definite program—undertak­ing
only a few elements at a time, The
student who does this is assured of decided
improvement —«nd of joy and satisfaction
"Wreck Teck!"
We have searched the rulebook faithfully
and we find that the following tactics are
forbidden:
1.—Each player shall be provided with a
rair of brass knucks. The same are to be
used freely.
2.—A stick of dynamite shall be inserted
into the ball when it is to be punted. This
shall have a fuse so timed that it will ex­plode
when the Opposing back catches it.
3.—A FordAm tractor shall be used when
plowing the line.
4.—The water used by the opponent shall
contain several bichloride tablets.
5.A Machine gun shall be used in breaking
up interference.
6.—Poison gas shall be used on the oppos­ing
cheering sections.
7.—Death rays shall be used oil the oppos­ing
coaches.
8.—Shrapnel shall be used against the op­ponents'
band. This will soon quiet it as
well as drown it out.
9.—Hand grenades shall be used on the
opponents' faculty.
10.—The referee shall be engaged in an
argument as to the possibilities pf an ad­vance
in the price of ngseguards, In the
heat of the argument a baseball bat shall
be broken over his head, Immediately
thereafter all baseball players on the oppos-ing
team shall be electrocuted. Then the
ball may be carried over for a touchdown
without opposition. •

The above tactics may seem crude to
some of our gentle readers, but they are
mild in comparison with those of which
some of our worthy opponents and our es­teemed
dailies accuse us. By adopting the
above we will have a more efficient team,
without the accusations with which we have

It is said that a house divided against
itself can not stand. This calls our atten­tion
very forcefully to some score of "loyal"
Auburn supporters that we saw enroute for
Auburn after spending the week-end in
Montgomery watching the Grimson Tide
overwhelm the Alligators, instead of going
to Birmingham to help the Tiger uphold
not only the prestige of Auburn, but that
of the South. A chain is as weak as its
weakest link, and the Auburn cheering sec­tion
at Birmingham was certainly weak.

"traitor" to apply to a man wno wilfully
deserts his AJma Mater for another team
when his otfrn team neeg's his support. •

SOCIETY MEETS
The Evans Society met Monday
night November 15, from eight to
nine, on third floor of Main building.
Mr. M. W. Harking gave an inter­esting
talk on, "Clean Comfort in the
Home." He told some interesting
facts about the proper, and cleanest
ways of heating the home.
Mr. W. C. Kelley told of "The
Hatred of America by her Former
Allies." Some of the facts that he
gave were, that some of the nation^
that the United States fought with
during the World War are now bitter
against her. France even wanted to
cancel the war debt. England is also
prejudiced against the United States.
Mr. Wakely gave an interesting
talk about Cherokee Bluff. He said,
that it is one of the biggest and best
of its kind. The dam is 150 feet high
and the reservoir is 700 miles around.
He also said that if anyone wanted
to see somethng of real and natural
beauty just go there.
Prof. K. Daughrity talked on the
life of the Society. He said, that the
propaganda that is going about the
society going dead is not exactly
right. When the society was first
organized in 1925, it was rumored
that it would only live a few months.
Bu! it existed that year and is still
existing. What it takes to exist we
have it. So look out for the Evans.
The critic made his report, and the
meeting adjourned to meet next Mon­day
night.

He impressed the point that the Soc­iety
believes that adequate prepared­ness
is the surest prevention of warv
The speaker gave us several pur­poses
of the Society, first, to advance
knowledge of the science of military
engineering; to promote efficiency in
the military engineer service of the
United States and to maintain its
best standards and traditions; and to
promote engineering in all fields.
Captain Andison gave us a unique
talk on "H6rses." In a humorous
way the speaker said"That the action
of some of his sophomores on the
back of a horse was rather amusing."
He explained the art of riding a

As the football games are idle this
week for Auburn there must be some •
thing for amusement. So Friday
night the girls at the zoo are spon­soring
an bppossum hunt.
All the women students and their
lovers are invited to be present at
the zoo at 7 o'clock. This is the
first time all the Auburn girls have
had the privilege. Much fun along
with some excitement is expected.
Bep repared for an .opossum dinner
Saturday.
Who was it bemoaning the fact
that the present day youth has not
the gallantry of the side-burned brave
of old?
On Sunday afternoon past, we no­ticed
the fiery steeds galloping their
way to the military stables. A won­derful
sight it was to see the members
from the zo<^ taking perfect strides.
Would that Zane Grey had seen
them as they wended their way
through the village.
As the golden sun was setting
'neath crimson flushes of the Western
sky, there appeared on, the horizon a
quite pathetic picture. Vivid mem­ories
of the "Forty-niners" were re­called
to our minds as we beheld
these Auburn students plodding their
weary way home from their horse­back
riding. Among the gallant were:
Viola Thom; Mary Bradford; Peggy
Grace; Sabrie Williams; Eula Hes­ter;
Elmer Salter; Bruce Harkins;
Dick Vandersys.

A large crowd attended the As
Club Wednesday night in spite of
the rain.
J. F. Hixon gave an interesting
talk on Eugene V. Debs', views of
life. He brought ont the fact that
Debs ran for president more times
than Bryan, and that he got more
than a million votes for president
while in prison. Debs said that the
modern womap was the finest that
the world had ever seen; that she
was sttill coming to the front; and
that her influence was being felt
in many ways. Debs' courage and
incerity were his strongest points> ^m states, including Alabama, North
Hixon said.
"Miss Congo" was the subject of
an interesting talk by P. Godsey.
Miss Congo happens to be a monkey
that Mr. Burbridge, a naturalist and
scientist, caught in Africa and
Mr. Burbridge, after taming the
monkey, carried out many experi­ments
on Miss Congo to see how much
intelligence she had. Godsey con­cluded
by saying that Mr. Burbridge
came to the conclusion that Miss Con­go
had as much intelligence as 20,-
000,000 people in the U. S., who are
weak minded.
Prof. Dick BeddingfieW, itenerant
vocational teacher trainer for Ala*

talk to the Club. He emphasized the
value of the training that students
get by attending and taking part in
the programs of the Club.
"How to keep the pupils in the
schools of the state is the biggest
problem that Alabama has", he Mid.
He concluded by advising the agri­cultural
students to get all the in
formation they possibly could for they
would need it when they got oa a job.
"Corrnt Events" were ably dis­cussed
by J. B. Beard. Among other
things he mentioned the United
States and what the other nations
think of her; the World Court; the
religious wrangle in Mexico and its
relation to the United, States; and
the recent happenings in the sport

the people. I nfact it was sixteen
or seventeen centuries before tur­bines
were actually harnessed for use­ful
work. Even then they were
somewhat of a novelty.
Mr. H. M. Hanbury continued the
discussion of steam turbines in his
talk "The History of the Modern

the various types of commercial tur­bines
beginning with the DeLaval im­pulse

up to the very latest developments
that are today still in the experiment­al

The final number of the evening
featured a talk by Mr. R. F. Tinsley
on "The First American Locomotive."
He gave some amusing and interest­ing
points on the "Tom Thumb." He

expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the splendid work
being done by the veterinary college
at Auburn.
Several unique clinics were held
and lectures given by Dr. Cary and
associates including Drs. I. S. Mc-
Adory, N. G. Covington, F. D. Patter­son
and R. S. Sugg as well as visit­ing
veterinarians. Dr. George Petrie,
dean of graduate school, delivered the
address of welcome in the absence of
President Spright Dowell, who was
called away on urgent businesss. Dr.
Peter F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian
of Georgia, responded. The meeting
lasted two days. %
Dr. J. H. Morse, of Sumter, S. C,
president of the association, in his
address touched upon the conditions
of the veterinarians in the Southeast­ern
states and also their relation to
the livestock industry. He brought
out and stressed the necessity of
veterinarians, claiming and filling the
service that is justly due and required
of them in practice; in livestock sani­tary
inspection; in educational work
and in state, field and diagnostic and
control work.
Veterinarian Serve* People
He especially emphasized the fact
that the graduate veterinarian is the
specialist who serves the people in
the control of disease of domestic ani­mals
and the one who should do the
meat and milk inspection work and
the medical and surgical work on
domestic animals, including the horse,
mule, cattle, sheep, goats, swine, poul­try
and all wild animals.
He also expressed the belief that
the " veterinarian is the one pre­eminently
qualified to do all tubercu­lin
testing; all agglutination testing
for infectious abortion and other dis­eases
in cattle, horses, hogs and other
animals. Also, he should do all the
agglutination testing for white diar­rhea
in poultry ami such work as
this should be legally done under su­pervision
of the veterinarian. The
average veterinarian spends four
years in college preparing himself for
this work and then oftentimes, spends
additional time specializing in the
various lines of the veterinary pro­fession.
Dr. A. L. Shealy, veterinarian in the
University of Florida, gave an ex­tended
report on an infection which
is commonly known as beeches" in
horses, mules and catile. He assert­ed
that the ony treatment was surgi­cal
and that sometimes such cases
were beyond the reach of the average
surgeon.
Dr. J. H. Coffman, assistant state
veterinarian of Georgia, read a paper
on white diarrhea in poultry and gave

Poultry Disease* Discussed
Dr. F. D. Patterson read an inter­esting
paper on some of the important
points in breeding, feeding and hand­ling
poultry in order to prevent dis­ease
by proper feeds and also by
proper care and housing. He also
mentioned some points in other dis­eases
of poultry, giving differential
characteristics, and directions for
treating same. He also gave a dem­onstration
on. post mortem exami­nation
of poultry.
Dr. N. G. Covington, made a post
mortem on a mule, after the veteri­narians
had clinically examined it
and made their diagnosis. The post
mortem examination conducted by
Dr. Covington proved that the mule
had amerism of the aorta, close to
the origin, involving the valves of the
aorta, and thus interfering with
heart action. This is an extremely
rare and uncommon case.
The visiting veterinarians made a

in Georgia. It was the consensus of
opinion of the state veterinarians, in­cluding
Georgia, Flordia, North Caro­lina,
Tennessee and Alabama, that
all this work of control and diagnosis,
should be strictly in the hands of
competent, graduate veterinarians
and only movements of animals for
interstate shipments on certificates by
such veterinarians should be per­mitted.

AUBURN SUCCUMBS BEFORE
MARQUETTE'S AIR ATTACK
The Auburn Tiger fell victim to
the wonderful aerial attack of the
Golden Avalanche in Birmingham
last Saturday in one of the toughest
battles of the season. It was truly
a hard game for Morey's cohorts to
lose because they outplayed the^r
northern foe for three periods of the
game only to see victory snatched
from them in the last five minutes
of play.
In the very first plays of the game
Marquette uncorked a beautiful ser­ies
of passes which carried the ball to
Auburns ten yard line. Here the
Orange and Blue line held Mar­quette
for downs and then kicked the
pigskin out of the danger zone. From
this time until late in the final period
Auburn kept the ball well in the
enemy's territory and kept possession
of the oval a considerable part of the
time. Pat Moulton gave the Tigers
a three point lead in the second
quarter by booting the ball through
the enemy's goal posts. With about
seven minutes to play and everyone
in the stands ready to concede victory
to Auburn, Leary tossed a pass to
O'Keefe who raced seventy-five yards
for the initial touchdown of the
game. Realizing that they had only
a few minutes left in which to at­tempt
to overcome Marquette's four
point lead, the Tigers started a des­perate
passing game without avail.
Marquette took full advantage of
Auburn's risky passing and succeeded
in intercepting two of the passes,
turning them into touchdowns for
Marquette.
It must be said that the Golden
Avalanche displayed one of the pret­tiest
passing games ever seen in Bir­mingham.
This air attack was centered
around O'Keefe who is one of the
few men in the game who can pass
accurately while on the run.
The outstanding player for the
Plainsmen in this game was "Red"
Carter. This sorrel-topped linesman
was, a constant thorn in the Mar­quette
offense, on one occasion he
broke through and blocked a punt and
then recovered for Auburn. Fisher
also played a brilliant game for the
Tigers.
The game play-by-play was as fol­lows:

Rats to Close
Season With
Georgia Rats
* • • — ' •
In their last struggle the Rats
lost to the Gators of Florida to the
tune of 18-3 but this has not dampend
their spirit or hopes. The next game
is near at hand and it is realized that
it will possibly be the hardest of all.
Too, it marks the closing of the season
for the Rats and they are anxious to
make this, their last stand as Rats,
a great one. This game is with
another set of Bull Pups and from
past history the Pups from Georgia
will present a very formidable aggre­gation.
However this gang that is
touring the South with Red Brown
fears no man in football togs. They
licked Marions best, chased the How­ard
Pups all over the mountains
around Birmingham, served as a
medium to bring peace to the camp of
the stormy Petrels, and as far as we
are concerned, though the score doesn't
show it, tied a huge knot in the Ga­tors
tail after he had begun to think
he was the best in Dixie.
Now for the Pups of Georgia,
they will be in their own back yard
but that will only be more humiliating
to them as. the Rats will collect some
of the interest on the debt of the
varsity before the day is over. Craw­ford
and Callahan are as good a set
of backs as he has seen lately. We
have been saying just that very thing
all season and when you get these
lads and such fellows as Granger,
Ward, Cosper, Clark, the Longs and
Haggards into an argument over who
will score the most points in a certain
football game they are pretty sure to
bring out some very strong points
for their side of the question. Full
steam ahead is the program till the
boys depart for Athens to lick the
Pups. When they get there, well that
is another question, but just watch
the boys step. We hope Morton will
take time out to see this game for if
one Auburn team can't beat Georgia
another can.

Letter from an
old Auburn Man
The following letter was received
from one of Auburn's followers;
To the Plainsman:
I accompanied the Auburn Fresh­man
football squad to Gainesville,
Fla., last Thursday and saw ope of
the best games I have witnessed in
two years. It was a moral victory
for Auburn for the" decisions were
certainly against them. Two of the
decisions resulted in touchdowns for
Florida that should not have been.
I am an Auburn man but this is
not an alibi for the Auburn Rats. It
is plain facts from one who feels
that the supporters of the Rats and
"Red" Brown should know more
about the game. Not since the fresh­man
rule went into effect have I
seen a better coached team than
"Red' Brown showed me last week.
The line charged well and the backs
had speed and power plus skill. | The
running attack was fine and the aer­ial
attack dazzling and beautiful to
behold. The defense was much better
than tha scores show for it was when
Auburn was on the defense that the
decisions of the head linesman was
rancid.
Eugene Cator (former Aubun star)
said that Auburn's passing attack
was the best he had seen in years.
The showing of the Auburn Rats is
due largely to the wonderful person­ality
and splendid coaching ability of
their sorrel-topped mentor. Aubnrn
should feel justly proud of their
future Tigers and give Co^ch Brown
their hearty cooperation in the de­velopment
of the freshman teams of
Auburn.
I will be pulling for the Tigers
to beat the hell out of Tech Thanks­giving.

In a game replete with thrills the
Bulldogs of Georgia staged a des­perate
rally to overcome a 13-point
lead held by Tech. The Yellow-
Jackets showed a good offense in the
first half, but it went up in smoke
in the latter part of the contest. Par-ham
played a great game for the
Jackets. He almost set a record
when he punted 102 yards—standing
2 yards behind his own goal, he booted
the oval 80 yards and it rolled the re­maining
distance over Georgia's goal
line. Morton and Sherlock starred
for the Red and Black and Johnson
became a hero by virtue of kicking
the two goals after touchdown for the
points which proved to be the margin
of victory.
The powerful Green Wave won
from Sewanee by 19-7. The Tigers'
offense was off form and could not
get started until the last quarter,
when brillian passing chalked up 7
first downs and a touchdown. Se-wanee's
defense was very ragged and
the Greenies gained almost at will.
Armstrong made a great play when,
on the first Tulane play of the game,
he sprinted 65 yards for the first
counter. Menville got several good
punts out of his system, one travel­ing
62 yards and another 70 yards.
The defensive work of Wilson and
Capt. Gamble stood out for Tulane,
while the offensive play of Johnson
and Young was the best the Tigers
could offer.
Newsom, left tackle, gave L. S. U.
a 3-0 decision over the University of
Mississipi when in the second period
he sent the pigskin through the
enemy's standards from the 25-yard
line for the only score of the fray.
The Tigers, led by Godfrey and Hay-nes,
uncorked a good offensive drive
in the first quarter, twice seriously
threatening to score, but passes were
grounded behind the goal line both
times. "Ole Miss" played a slow.
game until the fii.al period, when an
aerial attack carried the ball to the
Tiger's two-foot line, but the final
punch to carry it over was missing.
Interference of the highest order
was the predominant factor in the
University of Chattanooga's 61 to 0
victory over the Georgetown Tiger's.
Moccasin backs shot through the line,
circled the ends, and snatched many
aerial heaves for long gains, every
time aided by excellent interference.
It seemed that the 'Nooga drive gain­ed
momentum from the first to the
last whistle—the final period nettec
four touchdowns. The Moccasins
drew several heavy penalties, costing
them at least two more scores. Laut-
..enheiser, A. Smith, and Wyatt were
the stars of the game. This victory
makes Chattanooga the favorite for
the S. I. A. A. crown.

Where dependability is vital
IN connection with a new pumping station at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, additional feeder mains were required. It was
necessary that one of these should carry an unusually large
proportion of the water supply, and 54-inch pipe was decided
upon. Although pipe of material other than cast iron had a
lower first cost, Cast Iron Pipe was chosen because the possibil­ity
of interruption to service had to be reduced to a minimum.

A MIRACULOUS DREAM

I happened one night while dreaming
To stray to a land of joy,
Where my wondering eyes,
In awful surprise,
Saw scenes t h a t haunt me now.
I dreamed that I saw a young lady,
A beautiful lady was she;
And my heart now burns
As the thought returns
Of the lady I chanced to see.
One day my dream came true—
I saw this maiden so fair;
More beautiful than a queen,
Her equal I've never seen— Win $25.00. Get in the Honor
Lovable, spirited, with bobbed ,sandy I Committee Conteat.

It must have been live at first sight.
Anyway, that was my decision;
Now t dream and dream
Of this s\yeet young queen—
Of her I have vision after vision.
Sight of her makes my heart beat
quicker—
More soul-stirring than, anything
on earth;
If I see her more
Her name I'll adore,
She's an Auburn "Ratess," of sterling
worth.

EXPOSITION AT
CHICAGO GOOD]
The visitor to the International
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago,
November 27th to December 4th,
will be able to obtain a complete
picture of live stock production from
the time the seed is selected for
planting through the various stages
of growing and feeding until the
savory meat is served oil the con­sumer's
table.
Starting with the soil itself, models
of an actual farm will show how a
rnn-down piece of land was taken in
hand by experts and put on a busi­ness
basis in a few years. Adjoining
this demonstration will be samples of'
numerous varieties of grains, seeds
and hay, many of which have never
previously been introduced to the'
public together with specimens of
the finest feed crops produced on the
North American continent. The visi­tor
may next inspect the educational
exhibits of the United States Depart­ment
of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural Colleges where he will
find a great funa" of timely and valu­able
information 'dealing with prob­lems
of seed selection, crop produc­tion
and feeding, and be privileged
to ask questions of the authorities in
charge.
Inr the surrounding barns will be
assembled outstanding representa­tives
of the various breeds of beef
cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, allow-study
breed and make comparisons.
Exhibits of cattle and sheep will il­lustrate
the various methods of
breeding up a herd or flock from or­dinary
foundation stock.
In the carload division will be
found consignments of thin feeder
cattle from the various breeding
grounds of the country while near­by
will be penned prime fattened bul­locks,
sheep and hogs ready to be con­verted
into meat. Individual speci­mens
of finished seers,'barrows and
lambs will also be on display which
will represent the ideal types towards
which the live stock feeder should
strive, .

the visitqr may next pass into
the Meat Shoppe where he will find
the carcasses yrhich have been pro­duced
from the use of various feed­ing
methods with different grades of
stock. Here also he may observe the
retail cuts into which the carcasses
are divided and learn how inexpen­sive
meat dishes may be prepared
from the less popular portions.
Stepping across the street he en­ters
the Boy's and Girl's Club Build­ing
where he will find exhibits of
canned meats and other foods and
listen to demonstrations on various
topics concerning the table and the

IDLE LAND CAN
GROW FORESTS
Forest land that is not yeilding
full returns in the way of increased
growth is much like a note that pays
no interest, points out the Alabama
Commission Of Forestry. A factory
that is not operated, a team standing
in the .stalls, a house that yields n.o
rental, the skill of a VKffter not
employed, and. moAey kept in hiding
Instead of out at interest are all
forms of idle capital. Land that
is not being put to a profitable use
ranks with these.
Under the laws of economics the
possessor of any form of capital,
whether it he real property, cash or
ane's capacity for labor; is entitled
to certain returns for its use. Such
returns, however, do not flow'auto­matically,
but accrue only'when the
property or ability to produce is put
at work. Good management has
a great deal to do with the amount of
the yield returned to the q^jnerf from
his investment Management im­plies
knowledge, initiative and ener­gy
on the part of the owner qr- user
of any form of capital-.
Forest land is a form of capital
which yields the greater part of its
possible returns under comparatively
elementary forms of management.
As contrasted with the average wild
land acres that are protected from
fire and from which only mature
material is removed will readily yield
over any considerable period of years
a net return of from $2 to $4 per
acre per annum. It is probable that

HISTORY OF THE
EVANS SOCIETY
v
There are a speat many people in
Auburn who do not seem to-know that
there is such a thing' as the Evans
Literary-Society on the c'ampus.
Well there is, and it is one of the
largest literary societies in Auburn.
This is not any longer "The Fresh­man"
society. It includes members
ofvall classes In its enrollment. It.
has a total enrollment of abo^i 60
active members, and i§ % real live
wire in literary ^ork..
This aftciety was founded by a
group of ten Freshmen in the fall
of 1924. No one even gave them
an encouraging word, save one mem­ber
of the English faculty, Professor
W. A. Evfcns, for whom the society
was named. Our society has taken
a leading part in all the inter-society
activities on the campus ever since
it was founded. Its strength can be
fairly estimated when one recalls the
fact that oat of the three contests
the Evans participated in against the
three other societies last year, it won
first place in two of them, and honor­able
mention iw the third. Nothing
could prove to the public, the real
strength of our soeiety more fully
than the above accomplishments.
The Evans meets every Monday
night in room 301, main building,
from eight to nine o'clock. Every
one is cordially invited to visit it
at any time they can come.
Peggy: "Is. Dot Wild?"
Billy: "Well, she played strip pok­er
the other day with a one-piece
bathing suit on!"
no other use of extensive areas will
yield as high a rate of return upon
actual value with as little operating
cost.

BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS
ON TRAIN IS FINE

November 10, 1926
President Spright Dowell,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Dr. Dowell:
I cannot refrain from expressing
my impressions of the student body
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
as gained through a recent expe­rience.
It was my privilege to travel on
last Saturday night from Columbus
to Montgomery on the special train
carrying members of your team and
a hundred or more students of your
Institution. Being without a compan­ion
in travel I occupied my time for
almost two hours of the trip in observ­ing
rather closely the conduct of these
young men and young women and
comparing it with charges frequently
made by speakers and writers.
Basing my conclusions on this ob­servation,
I do not hesitate to state
that conditions with reference to cer-tam
social vices charged against stu­dent
members of our higher learning
are greatly exaggerated. I saw no
evidence whatever of drinking and
while of course there was a great
deal of harmless and amusing noise,
I observed nothing on the part of
r
either the young men or young wom­en
suggestive of coarseness or social
impropriety.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) P. W. Hodges.

SO a blond young
man named
Taylor, just gradu­ating
in electrical
engineering at the
University of North
Carolina, was ad­vised
by a conscien­ce/
ftfltr tious professor. The
professor's conviction was based on quiz
papers and was amply justified. But the
young man was not discouraged; be had
other hopes, he skid. Today—ten years
later—he occupies a peculiarly important
position with the Westinghouse Company.
Before Carl Taylor had completed his
apprenticeship with Westinghouse he began
to sell apparatus to utility-customers. He
had previously sold clothing in college.
He had selected an electrical engineering
course because he believed the industry
promising for men of selling interests.
<t His first actual
order—theelec-trification
of a
scrap yard—was
awarded to him
at a higher price
than that asked
by any other
bidder because
he had "lived with" the job and given
all the service this implies.
Some months later the Company was
surprised at a request from him for an in­definite
leave of absence. He wanted to

Pittsburgh Sales Office—the largest divi­sion
of the Westinghouse Company in the
entire country. Today he has a sales
organization of sixty-five men.
To get the customer's point, of view—
to go the limit to anticipate his wants and
keep him satisfied—this is the Westing­house
sales policy. It is the policy of all
enlightened industrial organizations. Men
who can exemplify it in their personal
careers need have no question about their
futures.
