Student Tickets for the Auburn- Tech game can be secured from Mr. Dimmitt's office from Monday to ^Wednesday afternoon, inclusive, preceding Thanksgiving. PUT YOUR SUITS IN THE LAUNDRY BAG 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, 30; pharmacy, 49; civil engineering, 162; highway engineering, 8; mechanical engineering, 103; electrical engineering, 348; architecture, 72; architectural engineering, 39; veterinary 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. \ • NOTICE! TIME EXTENDED IN COMPETITIVE THEME CONTEST V.. % VOLUME THIRTY OF ANNUAL 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.

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 paper, written in ink or typewritten. No name shall appear on the theme paper. On the top right hand corner of each sheet shall be a conspicuous diagram. Presented with each theme shall be a sealed envelope with a correspending diagram on the outside and the contestants name enclosed. These envelopes will not be 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. Glomerata Notice!

True Friend of Auburn Receives Signal Honor From Yearly Publication HAY SPEAKS TO FRESHMEN IN CONVOCATION Presbyterian Pastor Addresses Rat Meeting Inspiring Talk by Hay Keeps Freshmen in School opened until after the1 themes have been graded. 7. The length of the theme shall not be limited. 8. All themes shall be mailed to or left in the Y. M. C. A. office in care of J. M. (Red) Edwards before or on December 4, 1926. 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, it seemed. Upon being removed from 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./ PLAINSMAN HAS NEW OFFICES IN ALUMNI^ HALL Staff Of Publication Is Now In New Headquarters On Thursday night, November 6, several industrious members of the Plainsman staff got busy and moved the office furniture from the Y. M. C. A. building to the basement of 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. M. C. A. The furniture and other necessary fixtures are not crowded which adds much to the looks of the office. The main reason for the change was the Y. M. C.

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. Buy Christman seals and SAVE A LIFE. < 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 come true. , I \ 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. —Sinclair Lewis in Baltimore Sun. 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.

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 »£ 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. • "Wreck Tech!" 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 been assailed. I "Wreck Teck!" Soon the football season will be over and everybody and his brother will be trying to select All-American, All-Southern, All- State, AH-Sing-Sing an/1 all-what-not teams. We do not pretend to he in the, sports business, but we are cenceited encugh to believe that we know as much of the game as many that are. For that reason we are assuming this autherity. We wish to be the first to select any kind of an all-(Something-or-other) team, We are selecting an all-Auburn tea party team. We have giver -due consideration tp the faculty, students, and-co- eds.

"Wreck Teck!" 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. We can think of no milder term than "traitor" to apply to a man wno wilfully deserts his AJma Mater for another team when his otfrn team neeg's his support. • • We play Tech in Atlanta Thanksgiving) It is the business of every Auburn Student, in his work.

This caused quite a stir among the girls, but they became better satisfied when they later learned that the rule might be applied to the hoys as well. The girl students at Wake Forest, taking a course in Child pare, decided to take an orphan baby into the school and get the real experience by caring for the baby, but when they found that caring for the baby meant more than taking; it for a rifle and crooning billables at night, they promptly vetoed the |roa pf taking thp youngster intQ the college.

EVANS LITERARY 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. S.A.M.E.

CO-ED COLUMN Edited by Catherine Nunn Thursday evening was the scene of unique beauty yet patriotic when Miss Bertha Pipkin entertained, complimenting the women students -and those who eat at Smith Hall with an Armistice dinner. The tables were arranged to form a cross with red strips of cloth down the centers. While p United States flag arranged as a center piece on a white and blue mound, represented the soldiers who gave their lives in the war for their countries. At each plate was a burning, red, white and blue , candle. I The feature of the evening was the appearance of Miss America, (Alice Witty) and Uncle Sam (Bruce Har-kins.). Miss America and Uncle Sam led the group into the dining room, followed by the honor guests Dr. and Mrs. Spright Dowell; Dean and Mrs. Petrie; Major and Mrs. John Kennedy; Miss Zoe Dobbs and Miss Agnes Eleen Harris. Next came the girls dressed, in evening dress with boys dressed in K. O. T. C, unifirms. The waitresses were dressed in red cross uniforms. Miss Celeste Nesbit acted as toast-master and was responded to by the guest of honor. Frances Harris and Beth Seibold gave readings. A five course dinner was servea, carrying out the color scheme of red white and blue, to about 180 guests. Miss Lila Blitch, National/Inspector for the Kappa Delta sorority has been the guest for the past few days, of the Sigma Lambda chapter here.

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.

We arrived at our destination and with hearty appetites we set about building a bonfire. We gathered around the fire and had songs, stories and some rather unique dances. After everyone's appetite was satisfied and the fire had died out we returned, tired, but with a greater interest in our work and a closer bond between all of the members. A. S. M. E. MEETS The A. S.

Hanbury continued the discussion of steam turbines in his talk "The History of the Modern Commercial Turbines." He covered the various types of commercial turbines beginning with the DeLaval impulse trubine brining the discussion up to the very latest developments that are today still in the experimental stage, t The final number of the evening featured a talk by Mr. R.

All Mechanical Engineers are cordially invited to attend. and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Kentucky. The visiting veterinarians 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 A special Peake line for College Men With two pairs of trousers Made to our specifications by Learbury, in fabrics and patterns that had the O- K. of college men in the Eastern schools before they were made ' up,~ At thirty-nine dollars they offer value heartwarming even to the chap who A.

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 thorough inspection of all the departments of the Veterinary College; the municipal slaughter house and several other departments of, the college. 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. Stomach Worm Traced Dr. E. M. Nighbert traced the life history of the stomach worm in sheep and gave practical demonstrations of the treatment as he applied it in a three years demonstration in Northeastern Missouri. Th^s work was done under the federal department and proved to be successful in controlling the effects and spread of stomach worms in sheep. Monday night a banquet was held at Smith Hall and a number of interesting speeches were made by members of the association. At a clinic in the afternoon of the second day, Dr. T. A. Sigler, of Greencastle, Ind., operated on a roarer for the advantage and instruction of the members of the association. \me largest selling quality pencil , in the world 17 black degrees 3 copying Superlative in quality, t h e w o r l d - f a m o us V.

SPORTS 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: FIRST QUARTER Marquette won the toss and elected to defend the east goal. Ingram kicked off to O'Keefe on his 15-fyard line and he ran it back 15 yards. Gebert went around right end for eight yards, tackled by Moulton.

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. yard line. Sub for Auburn: Tuxworth for Nelson.

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. Your for a Greater Auburn, Signed—Chas. G. Gibson. With Our Gridiron Foes his 23-yard line.

Tiix-worth for Nelson, Spinks for Andress, Wattwood for Burns, Howard for 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.

The Furman men took the affirmative and won an unanamous decision. t 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.

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.

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. VARSITY SHOE SHOP REWARDS FOOTBALL MEN (Continued-from page 1) and Moulton in the Marquette game last Saturday.

After the Thanksgiving-Tech game a committee is to be chosen from the team to help Mr. Askew chose from among those who have not as yet received the award, three men from the line and backfield whose work during the football season has been good.

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.

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
paper, written in ink or typewritten.
No name shall appear on the 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,
it seemed. Upon being removed from
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

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,

On Thursday night, November 6,

the office furniture from the Y. M.

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.
M. C. A. The furniture and other
necessary fixtures are not crowded
which adds much to the looks of the
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.
Buy Christman seals and SAVE A LIFE.

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
come true. , I

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.
—Sinclair Lewis in Baltimore Sun.
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

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. •

very forcefully to some score of "loyal"
Auburn supporters that we saw enroute for
Auburn after spending the week-end in

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

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

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.

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.
In times o fseverest emotional distress
we find relief in the humblest
activities-working, walking, smoking.

WEBSTERIANS
HAVE SOCIAL
BY CAMPFIRE
On Tuesday of last week the members
of the Websterian Literary
Society met in front of the Main
Building and started to a certain
well known spring on the edge of
town. We arrived at our destination
and with hearty appetites we
set about building a bonfire. We
gathered around the fire and had
songs, stories and some rather unique
dances. After everyone's appetite
was satisfied and the fire had died
out we returned, tired, but with a
greater interest in our work and a
closer bond between all of the members.
A. S. M. E. MEETS
The A. S. M. E. .enjoyed a well attended
meeting Wednesday night November
3. Several interesting talks
were given by members of the society.
Mr. H. L. Nichols, the first speaker,
took as his subject "The History

fore or less as a toy to amuse
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
Commercial Turbines." He covered
the various types of commercial turbines
beginning with the DeLaval impulse
trubine brining the discussion
up to the very latest developments
that are today still in the experimental
stage, t
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
said that the first run of this locomotive
developed into a race with a
horse-drawn car which the horse car

and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Kentucky. The visiting veterinarians
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

methods of caponizing a small chicken.
Dr. M. W. Bell, of Nashville, Tenn.,
demonstrated his method of casting

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
thorough inspection of all the departments
of the Veterinary College;
the municipal slaughter house and
several other departments of, the
college.
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.
Stomach Worm Traced
Dr. E. M. Nighbert traced the life
history of the stomach worm in sheep
and gave practical demonstrations of
the treatment as he applied it in a

Missouri. Th^s work was done
under the federal department and
proved to be successful in controlling
the effects and spread of stomach
worms in sheep.
Monday night a banquet was held
at Smith Hall and a number of interesting
speeches were made by members
of the association.
At a clinic in the afternoon of
the second day, Dr. T. A. Sigler, of

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.

Signed—Chas. G. Gibson.

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

IN connection with a new pumping station at Milwaukee,

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

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

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
(Continued from page 1)
of local students follows: ,
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.

that since the Auburn Football Team
fought so hard win or lose his award

winner in the event that the game

the most spectacular plays. In the
game with. Tech on Thanksgiving
Day this last condition will continue
to be in effect.
After the Thanksgiving-Tech game

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.
