i
The first Freshman Week was in-
|,auguratsd wiih t!ie arrival of over
four hundred Fresiamen. The inno­vation
was -highly successful accord­ing
to officials it? charge. The
Freshmen were enrolled as sooji as
they arrived but official registration
did not begin until Monday morning
when all students were registered.
The three days beginning Thursday,
September 3, through Saturday were
devoted to assigning students to
boarding houses, addresses by mem­bers
of the faculty, ;and getting the
students acq^inted with the town
and college.
Friday morning and afternoon was
devoted to meetings for the Freshmen
at which time the address of welcome
was delivered by Dr. Dowell, followed
by a number of talks for the Fresh­men
by members of the faculty.
•The Freshmen were guests Friday
night at a barbecue given in their
honor by the Y. M. C.A. The barbe­cue
was the first get-togother for the
new students and it WJS here that
they got their first informal intro­duction
into the Auburn Family.
The barbecue was arranged under
the direction of Dr. I. S. McAdory.
•and C. B. Burgoyne. Th_re was an
abundance of ioori, all the accessories
that go to make a perfect uarhecue
dinner, and the barbecue was cooked
to please even the most exacting
taste. The dinner was served cafe­teria
fashion by upperclassmen, press­ed
into service by the committees.
The Students' Club, the scene of the
barbecue was filled to capacity with
the new men, and the serving of ail
of them was skillfully done.
Saturday was devoted to psycho­logical
tests conducted by Dr. Zeb-ulon
Judd, and arranging of courses
of students by the deans of uhe de­partments.
..The Freshman sermon
was delivered Sunday morning in
Langdon Hall.

An Editorial Regarding The Glomerata
By Chas. J. Snook, Jr.
\
In past years the Glomerata has not received the full amount of
support from the students to which it is entitled, and it is rather un­reasonable
to expect the staff of that publication to turn out a good
annual without thorough support. This lack of support was in part
responsible for the higher cost of the Glomerata last year, and also for
the generally unknown fact that the staff did not receive the usual
reimbursement for the services rendered by them to the students in the
preparation of the annual.
" In the main the trouble has come from procrastination on the part
of the individual students in having their, pictures taken. This waste
of time is absolutefy needless and uncalled for, and it merely puts off
tl,e date of issue. This year the staff of the Glomerata has adopted
the policy of having all portraits made by White Studios of New York.
We are glad to see this as it will not only save time and money but will
also insure uniformity in the photographs. Also, we have been told
that if these photos are taken on time the Glomerata staff guarantees
that the annual will be in the hands of the students before the close of
school.
Le us urge that the Glomerata be given the fullest cooperation, not
only because Auburn men should back Auburn activities, but also as
a personal favor from each student to himself.
Let's all get behind and shove. What do you say?

ing address. Mr. Bowling made a
stirring speech emphasizing the great
heritage which has been passed on to
the youth of today by the fathers of
our country. He said whether we be<
democrats or republicans we cannot
but pause and ponder upon the fact
that the leading citizen of the present
day, Calvin Coolidge, weilds the great
power of the presidency in spite of
the fact that he was born and reared
on a poor Vermont Farm. This
was made possible by the sacrifices
of the men and women who founded
this country. The youth of today
has even a greater opportunity be­cause
of these noble sacrifices.
Dean Zebulon Judd, director of the
summer school addressed the young
men and women graduates, calling
attention to the fact that they had
been chosen for advance work be­cause
of their superior attainment
and as graduates of a standard college
they represent the best brains in
American life.
The several deans of the college
were called upon to introduce the
candidates for degrees from their
respective departments whereupon
Dean Judd delivered diplomas to each
candidate. Among those participat­ing
were Dean George Petrie, of the
graduate school; Dean J. J. Wilmore,
of the engineering college; Dean Ag­nes
Ellen Harris, of the Woman's de­partment;
Dr. Edwin D. Pussey, re­presenting
the department of educa­tion,
and Prof. B. L. Shi, registrar.
Following the exercises Dean Judd
gave a luncheon in honor of congress­man
Bowling. The school faculty,
as well as the college faculty occupied
seats on the stage and the Rev. Nor­man
McLeod, pastor of the Auburn
Methodist Church conducted the dev­otional
exercise's.
Those receiving degrees follow:
Academic courses: Bachelor of
Science; John Parker Evans, Birm­ingham;
Richard Coleman, Myrtle-wood;
William Augustus Harvey,
Montgomery; John Rush Hinton,

will be held for the purpose of instill­ing
the Freshmen with the Auburn
Spirit and to awaken the Spirit in the
old men.
The full program has not yet been
announced but the meeting will be
one we all must go to in order to
start the year right, learn all the yells
and hear talks by members of the
various campus organisations. Tht

Red Roberts, cheer leader deluxe,
will lead the cheers. All Freshmen
who have not received a copy of the
yells should do so at once and learn
them.

seating space made it necessary to
hold the meetings in the gy.«.

WELCOME!
TO THE UPPER CLASSMEN OF 1925-26:
More pleasing even than the reception of new students at the
opening of college is the return of the old. While new men must
enter if the college stream is to progress they are to some extent in
the experimental stage and, at any rate, must spend some time in
becoming adjusted to the college life.
The business of making college morale rests largely with the

duties as head of the college Septem­ber
1, after his long convalesenc*
from injuries received in an automo­bile
accident near Troy, Alabama,
June 4, while on a speaking tour
through South Alabama. He was
granted a ninety day leave of absence
I by the Board of Trustees, the greater
! part of which he spent with relatives
] in North Carolina.
The accident occurred as Dr.
Dowell was returning to Auburn,
having delivered an address at com­mencement
exercises of the Troy
High School the previous night. The
buss in which he was going from Troy
to Dothan broke down and a passing
automobile picked Dr. Dowell up and
was taking him on to Dothan when
the accident occurred. - The car skid­ded
striking a telephone pole, inflict­ing
severe injuries about Dr. Dowell's
head and body. The driver of the
car suffered a broken leg.
Dr. Dowell was carried to the Troy
Infirmary where specialists were
summoned. He remained in the Troy
Infirmary until he was able to be
moved to Auburn, and from here he
and his family went to North
Carolina.
During Dr. Dowell's absence Dr.

the first woman on the staff of the
Experiment Station to devote her
entire time to research. She is a
Virginian but came to Auburn direct­ly
after receiving her Ph.D. degree
from Columbia University.
Dr. W. D. Kimbrough, who will be
in research work in the department
of horticulture, is an Alabama bo>

BE A STUDENT
By Dr. Frank Crane
A student is a man who likes to study.
An appetite grows on what it feeds on.
In order to like to study well you must
have studied a great deal. Man can be a
student out of hand. It is not something
that we have a gift for, but it is a talent
that we acquire.
To be a student implies that one is eagei
for knowledge. He is anxious to learn and
enjoys exercising his brain.
The athlete who exercises his body every
day gets to the point where he cannot do
without this exercise. His system craves
it and if he is denied it he is unhappy.
The mental athlete is of the same type.
He is one who works hard with his brain
every day until he has come to like it. If
he cannot get work to do he is unhappy.
A student is one who likes to work with
his brain. This kind of work pays best of
all, for a man's real value is for the most
part his brain value.
In order to be a student we must develop
the habit of clear, logical thinking. We
must go to the bottom of the question, or
as near to the bottom as we can get.
We must challenge every alleged fact.
We must not only believe things, but we
must know why we believe them.
It is necessary to have a daily plan for
study. Study that is not systematic is of
no value .
The mind is peculiarly susceptible to hab­it.
We learn things better by going over
them often than by severe mental effort.
Indeed it is said that repetition is the
mother of studies.
Mediocie ability applied assiduously day
by day and according to purpose is better
than great ability applied once in a while.
A student is not so much known by the
contents of his memory, that is, by the
number of things he remembers, as he is
by his ability to place things. He must
know where to find things. His mind is
severely classified. Indeed all instruction
or education may be called the art of clas­sification.
Most information comes from books and
among these it i? necessary to exercise the
greatest care. Emerson said that no book
is worth while that is not twenty years old.
We all know that time is the best critic,
and other things being equal, it is better to
take the seasoned volumes.
There is enough good literature in the
world that has stood the test of time with­out
diluting our minds with much modern
stuff.
The value of what we read is determined
by how well we. digest it. We should med­itate
upon what we have found out and
thoroughly incorporate it with what we
already know.
BOLOGNA
It is our intention, since at one time in
our varied career we were a quasi-editor,
to conduct this column somewhat as an
editor would, at least in-so-far as the use
of the editorial 'we' is concerned. It gives
us a feeling of security, there being safety
in numbers. And since we have begun
writing in an explanatory mood, we think
it might not be a totally bad idea to explain
a few things about this column. In it we
shall review the past and speculate as to the
future. We shall both' 'point with pride'
and 'view with alarm.' For instance, we
shall point with pride to the returning
throngs of upper classmen and we view
with alarm the incoming hordes of disorder­ly,
unkempt freshmen.
And we have several things to-say both
to, and about these self same freshmen.
First of all, let them remember that they
should admire sophomores, respect and
admire juniors, and respect, reverence and
worship seniors. Secondly, we caution
them to obey all three implicitly, just as
a safety measure.
Thirdly, let them remember that the way
of the transgressor is hard, and while they
will receive very, very courteous attention
from the various fraternities during rush
week but attitudes will change, ah ah,
how attitudes do change. Perhaps the only
society from which they can expect to
receive whole hearted support through the
entire year is the S. P. C. A., which will,
we believe, arrange wholesome parties for
them, the entertainment to consist of such
games as Clap-in, Clap out; Post Office;
and the like.
A NEW TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
The Ford is my auto, I shall not walk.
It maketh me to lie down in muddy roads;
it leadeth me into trouble; it draweth on
my purse. I go into the paths of debt for
its sake. Yea, though I understand my
Ford perfectly, I fear much evil lest the
radius rods or the axle might break; it
hath a blowout in the presence of mine
enemies. I anoint the tire with a patch,
| the radiator boileth over. Surely this
! thing will not follow me all the days of my
! life, or I shall dwell in the house of poverty
j forever.
Moral: Equip your Ford with one of
! the new improved cuckoo clocks. When
i the car reaches a speed of 25 miles an
: hour, the bird will come out and sing,
I "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and at 40
i miles an hour, "Lord, I Am Coming Home."

THE CHEROKEE BLUFFS LAKE
But few people appreciate, evidently,
what the reservoir of the Cherokee Bluffs
Dam will mean to Alabama as an attraction
to tourists and as a resort for the enjoy­ment
of the public generally. Of course
this huge body of water, which will be the
largest man-made lake in the forld, is mere­ly
incidental, in a way, to the general
scheme of things over on the Tallapoosa;
the dam itself being; the outstanding fea­ture
of the big development.
However, aside from serving as a storage
bin for the water which will keep the gen­erators
in action, the lake will be Alabama's
largest single advertising medium, which
has already been the subject of many
articles published in national periodicals.
Georgia has her Stone Mountain.
Kentucky has her Mammouth Cave.
Utah has her Salt Lake.
Practically very State in the Union has
its own peculiar attraction. Cherokee
Bluffs Lake will be Alabama's.
In time, every Alabamian will appreciate
its worth.
—Powergrams
UTILITIES IN DOMINANT POSITION
No other class of corporate securities
has shown such a great increase in volume
and popularity in the last few years as
public utilities. Bonds of electric light
and power companies especially are favored
investments with an increasingly larger
clientele of both large and small investors.
Among power companies a tendency is
becoming more evident to disregard boun­daries
and extend their properties on the
basis of efficiency in operation, resulting
in improved service, greater stability of
earnings and increased popularity among
discriminating investors.

HONOR SOCIETIES
Each year elections are held to select
those students for membership to honor
societies who have excelled in scholarship
and all-round worthy college activity. Pi'
order to be eligible for election students
should begin laying their foundations dur­ing
their Freshman year.
There are twelve such organizations on
the campus and every student who enrolls
has an opportunity to become a member.
However only those-who have grasped the
opportunity by attention to their classroom
work and the constructive activities of the
campus are chosen.
Below are listed the honor societies,
their requirements and a brief score of
their activities:
PHI KAPPA PHI
The Phi Kappa Phi Honor society is nat­ional
in character and was organized for
the purpose of encouraging scholarship and
original study among students. Seniors
who make a high average on all subjects
during the first three years of their course,
are eligible if they can meet requirements
as to character and individual initiative
as demonstrated by usefulness and prom­inence
in worthy students and other colle­giate
activities. Leadership is, given most
consideration if students pass the scholar­ship
requirements. The grade requirement
is an average of 85 percent.
TAU BETA PI
The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is "To mark
in a fitting manner those who have con­ferred
honor oh their Alma Mater by a
high degree of scholarship as undergrad­uates,
or by their attainments as alumni;
and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in
the engineering schools of America." Two
elections are held each year, the first from
the upper eighth of the Junior class during
the second semester, and the others from
the upper fourth of the Senior class during
the first semester. Both scholarship and
liberal culture are required for election.
THETA ALPHA PHI
The purpose of this organization is to
foster an interest in wholesome dramatics,
and to provide the means for uniting so­cially,
those students, alumni and instruc-'
tors w ho have histronic talents. Students
who have done satisfactory work with the
Auburn Players are eligible for member­ship.
ETA KAPPA NU
Eta Kappa Nu is a national professional
fraternity of electrical engineers for the
purpose of bringing into closer union for
mutual benefit, those men in the profession
of electrical engineering who, by their at­tainments
in college or in practice, have
manifested a deep interest and marked
ability in their chosen work. Scholarship
ihip are essential for those
elected.
GAMMA SIGMA DELTA
The object of this society is to encourage
high standards of scholarship in all
branches of agricultural science and edu­cation,
and a high degree of excellence in
the practice of agricultural pursuits, by
the election to membership of those stu­dents
of the Senior and graduate classes
in agricultural colleges, who have shown
exceptional ability in their undergraduate
or graduate work, and of those Alumni and
faculty members who have rendered signal
service to the cause of .agricultural devel­opment.
The Alabama chapter presents each year,
a loving cup to the best all-round Junior
in agriculture, who meets the requirements
in scholarship, student activities, Club at­tendance,
personality and popularity. ••'
SPADES
Spades is a local honor fraternity, mem­bers
being selected by the retiring members
from the Junior class in May of each year
to carry on the work of the following year.
The Spades endeavor to bind together
the ten most prominent members of the
Senior class, thus perfecting an organiza­tion
of much value to the class. It also
endeavors to set a goal of high ideals and
attainment for underclassmen.
SCARABS
The Scarabs is an Senior Honor Society
composed of ten of the most representative
members of the class. Members are elect­ed
at the end of the Junior year and at
the beginning of the Senior year. Scholar­ship,
leadership, general prominence and
popularity are the requirements.
ALPHA PHI EPSILON
Alpha Phi Epsilon is a national honorary
literary fraternity whose purpose is to
further literary work in American colleges.
Members are chosen from among the most
active students in the three literary
societies.
GAMMA SIGMA EPSILON
The object of this honor fraternity is to
increase interest and scholarship in chem­istry,
and to promote friendship and the
general welfare of chemists.
BOTEGHA
The purpose of Botegha is to unite in
fellowship those students in Architectural
courses who have attained a mark of effi­ciency
in their work, and who have shown
an interest in the fine arts.
SCABBARD AND BLADE
Scabbard and Blade is a national military
honor society. The qualifications for
membership are military efficiency, char­acter
and manhood.
ORDER OF LAMPS
.The-, order of Lamps, Senior Women's
Honor Society was organized at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute in September
1924. Its purpose is to promote scholar­ship,
character, and ability among the
women students of the college. This it
accomplishes, not only by election to mem­bership,
but by regular meetings of the
members, at which they attempt to make
plans to promote these qualities in the lives
of the women students. -
Any woman student of Auburn is eligible
to membership in Lamps. A careful selec­tion
is made from the junior students each
year and the five who best Tnl the qualifi­cations
are chosen. An average of eighty-five
percent in scholarship must have re­sulted
from the two and a half eollege
years. T'"e girls who are chosen are ones
who have added to college life, not only
their usefulness in the activities of the
campus, but by their contribution to and
embodiment of the real spirit of fellowship
which the Lamps strive to help maintain
in the women's student body.
Membership in the Lamps is a real goal
for which every girl who enters Auburn
may strive.
V
TIGER YELLS
Rats, lets learn these yells and get the
old Auburn Spirit. It takes the support
of the whole student body to put out a
winning football team. Let's show our
loyalty by backing up our fighting Tigers
to the limit. Be at every mass meeting
and on the bleachers when the cheer leader
requests it.
Look on all windows up town for an­nouncement?-.

Engineering Teachers
Attend Conference
An important phase of Westing-house
educational work is the annual
summer conference for engineering
teachers during which an insight into
modern industrial methods and busi­ness
practices is given to the profes­sors
so that they can later impart
it to the students in the college class­rooms
and laboratories.
The summer conference for engin­eering
teachers just concluded was
the fifteenth conference held by the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufactur­ing
Company. The importance of the
summer conference is greater than
ever before due to the demand of in­dustry
for more highly trained college
material. More than 150 aplica-tions
for attendance at the 1925 Wes­tinghouse
conference were received
from which were chosen the 30 teach­ers
who comprised the gathering.
These men represented engineering
and technical schools, universities and
colleges from all parts of the United
States. They received during the
summer conference which lasted from
June'22 to July 22 a training in in­dustrial
practices which was impossi­ble
to obtain in any other way.
The daily schedule included lec­tures
by the various managers of the
Westinghouse departm ent s. Each
lecture was delivered by men of vast
practical experience who gave to
We extend to you a hearty welcome
to A u b u r n and wish you a worthwhile

The lectures were supplemented
with inspection trips through the East
Pittsburg Works where the actual
operating details are made clear to
those on the course.
The conference course is not con­fined
wholly to Westinghouse but
there are also inspection trips taken
to other industries and technical ins­titution
in the Pittsburg district.
These outside tours included visits
to the Duquesne Light Company's
Colfax power station; The Mellon
Institute and Carnegie Museum; The
National Tube Company, at McKees-port,
Pa.; Carnegie Institute of Tech­nology;
the University of Pittsburg;
The Harwick Coal Company-and other
places.
The Westinghouse inspection trips
included visits to the foundry at
at Trafford City, Pa., where also is
located the high voltage laboratory
and the milfion volt transformer;
and to Derry, Pa., where is located
the Westinghouse High Voltage Insu­lator
Company.
Proper cooperation between indus­try
and the schools is necessary to
properly train the student for indus­try.
It is the summer engineering
conferences which are the means of
this cooperation and by which, to a
large extent, the schools are kept
abreast of industrial development.

Amonf, the largest one-man shovels in the world is this
electric giant engaged in open-pit mining on the
Mesabi Range in northern Minnesota. It picks up eight
cubic yards of iron ore at a gulp, which it dumps into
a waiting car.
In every branch of mining

A day's work in a minute
Mesabi Range, renowned iron ore deposit, is yield­ing
its mineral wealth at the rate of 16 tons for every
bite of an electric scoop.
A man with a shovel would work a whole day to mine
and load eight cubic yards of iron ore which this
300-ton electric giant moves in one minute.
Of course, all mining is not done on the surface. But
there are many mines in which electricity has changed
t our conception of mining operations. Wires, pene­trating
even to the deepest shafts and galleries, have
brought light, power, ventilation and added safety to
those who must work in the very bowels of the earth.
Electricity's contribution to mining may be of partic­ular
interest to the student of mining engineering, but
it is of general interest to all college men as still another
example of how electricity is simplifying the world's
work.

Fourteen Auburn Men
With Western Electric
Auburn men at the Hawthorne
Works of the Western Electric Com­pany
are now getting established in
the big Chicago factory and from all
indications are making good with th°
World's telepho<.v .vorkshop.
The class of '24 was the first -to
have a representation of any strength
at the Hawthorne plant with six men
starting in on their training course.
J.T. Johnson went into the Inspection
engineering branch along with Bour-geoise.
F. K. Hanlin another E. E.
graduate is now in the Production
Branch with Val Price in the Equip­ment
Engineei-ing phase of the work.
D. M. Chambers was assigned to the
Development Engineering organiza­tion
handling machine methods work.
F. J. Almgren started in the Develop­ment
Work also, staying there about
a year. Through the editing of the
College Graduates publication at the
Works he was given an opportunity
to get into their Publicity organiza­tion
where he has been for several
months.
Bobby Locke of Auburn track fame
and D. L. Thomas represent the '25
class at the Western Electric com­pany
and have already begun to make
themselves known. Locke has enter­ed
the employees track meet to be
held the middle of September and
should have a walk away with pole-vault.
The I. A. C. of Chicago have
already secured Locke's services and
the Auburn men in the district are
expecting results from . the former
A. P. I. star. Locke chose the Devel­opment
engineering work w h i le
Thomas is in the Equipment Engin­eering.
There are now thirteen
Auburn men as far as can be ascer­tained
now employed at the Haw­thorne
works who have graduated
in the years gone by.
The .Western Electric offers the
college graduate seven entirely dif­ferent
courses to select from ranging
from Clerical to Development. The
college men have a University Club
consisting of hundreds of members.
This last year F. J. Almgren was
Chairman of their Social Committee
the first. term and editor of their
publication the second six month
term. During the second term F.
K. Hanlin handled the Social Com­mittee.
There is a possibility in tha future
of an Auburn .Club being organized
in the Chicago district but whether
this is done or not the Auburn spirit
will always be found among the men
there as well ,as any other place on
earth that an Auburn man can be
found.
With graduation and the leaving
of the Village of the Plains every
Auburn man that departs carries
with him a , f e e l i n g that although
the school days may be over the spirit
that makes the school famous will
never be fprgotten by the ones that
leave and by the ones that remain.
After leaving and wherever the Fates
may locate the individual or group
the memories of the Alabama village
are always fresh and the pleasant
reminiscenses of the days spent there
are always a source of many pleasant
hours of pipe dreaming and recollec­tion.
While- the memories are always
fresh there comes these mental ques­tions.
How is the school faring?
Is the school keeping up with the pace
of progress that modern times are
setting' Is the place the same?
And will Auburn seem the same when
I return? Often as these thoughts
and questions arise, the determination
to return and find out is the result.
Then there are months and perhaps
years of planning for the day when
you can step off the train and see
the old school. And then that day
comes!
One has only to arrive in Auburn
to be convinced that the same friend­ly
spirit is still in existence. The
same cordial greeting is found
wherever one goes and it is with a
deep sense of satisfaction that one
knows that Auburn is still Auburn.
But with this realization there is -also
the evidence of progress written at
every corner.' Here is the New En­gineering
Building, many other new
buildings over the campus, new dor­mitory,
in fact every where one looks
there are obvious illustrations that
those who are in Auburn are carrying
on.
On departure again one leaves
with the feeling that Auburn is still
the place to be proud of no matter
where you may be, 5rhd that those
who remain will carry on the Auburn
Spirit. and progress until the time
when time and colleges are no more.
Y.W.CA Holds Party
For New Girl Students
If there was a girl in Auburn who
had begun her studying she dropped
it on Friday night. The whole of
the Women Students body attended
the "Soiree dansant" given by the
Young Women's Christian Associa­tion
at Smith Hall as a Freshman
Welcome party.
A dapper bunch of goodhsriking
"tea hounds" made their way to the
dormitory with their dates, the^'new
girls", and were remarked as the best
looking bunch of boys Auburn had
ever sheltered but when t>ne of those
essayed to tip-Iris hafr-a'mass of hair
tumbled down and gave the thing
away. They were disclosed as "more
girls" but some Freshman remarked
that she wished she could find a
real boy as good looking as her escort
to the Y. W. C. A. ball.
The old girls made dates with the
new girls and a splendid method of
bringing the girls together was dis­covered
in the dance. There was a
good orchestra as well as good things
to eat. Brick ice cream and cake
were served.
In fact, it was a peachy party.

W. T. WOOD MAKES TOUR
OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
W. T. "Bill" Wood, of the class of
past year toured Europe this summer,
'24 and member of the faculty the
having visited many of the larger
cities and points of interest while
abroad.
Wood sailed from New York City,
June 10, aboard the George Washing­ton,
arriving at Plymouth, England
from which place he travelled exten­sively
through Wales and Scotland.
After spending a week in London he
visited Oxford, arriving there inUime
to witness ccmencement exercises.
He returned to London and from
there to Ostend Belgium across the
English channel in an airplane.
While in Belgium he went to Brussels
and Waterloo, thence through Eol
land and Germany. Going up the
Rhine River he touched at Cologne,
Coblena, and Mayence, Germany.
From Germany he went through
Switzerland and Italy and across
Southern France to Spain.
After spending some time in Paris,
he returned to the United States, sail­ing
aboard the Leviathan, August
fourth.
Accompanying Wood was Prof.
Roe, of the Languages Department.
Prof. Roe spent a greater part of his
time in Paris, and other cities in
France. They met again in Cher­bourg
and returned together.
"Bill" was one of the most popular
men on the campus, having served as
cheer leader for the past two years.
He was also connected with a number
of campus activities. Wood will not
return to Auburn this year as he will
be in business in Birmingham.
Girls Camp Is Held .
By Y.WX.A. Cabinet
Auburn is the scene of many and
various activities this week, all inter­esting,
but one of its outstanding
events was the cabinet camp given
by the Y. W. C. A..
The cabinet members of the Y. W.
C. A. returned to Auburn early in
order to attend the. camp. Early
Thursday morning these enterprising
Women Students perched themselves
and their luggage high o\\ the college
truck and embarked on their eight-mile
journey to Mitchell's Mill.
There were twelve girls who attended
and only on lone boy who went as
official protector but some one pass­ed
the witty remark that he was the
one who needed protection. Mrs.
Margaret Blair chaperoned the group
and the girls who attended were:
Alberta Procter, Ariamerle Arant,
Rubye Russell, Lucile "Totty, Dorothy
Taylor, Grace Gardner, Dorothy Dug-gar,
Mildred Cheschire, Alma Bent-ley,
Frances Blackmon, Elizabeth
Floyd, Hazel Arant, and Catherine
Hare.
Plans for the coming year were
completed at the camp and a large
part of the time was given over to
the closer study of the organization
and its workings. A study of the
national organization as well as the
local was taken up. The chief prob­lem
which was brought up was that
of making the Y. W. C. A. the instru­ment
through which a better spirit
might be brought about among the
girls and the greater realization of
the importance of putting the Christ-life
on the campus. Plans for the
activities of the Y. W. C. A. were
made and the purpose of the camp
was well fulfilled.
The group "broke camp" and re­turned
Friday night.

THE PLAINSMAN P a g e '5
Tigers Are Facing
A Strenuous Season
•Games With Virginia Polytechnic In­stitute
and Howard College
Booked for Campus
The Auburn Tigers have again un­dertaken
one of the most terrific
schedules ever booked by a Southern
, team with only two of the contests
allotted to the home field, while
Morsey's men board the coaches and
pullmans for seven. Two of the con-
, tests will be fought out on Georgia
soil, while four are scheduled for
Alabama, one for South Carolina and
one for the Lone Star State, at Dal­las.
The Panthers of Birmingham-
Southern will furnish the first oppo­sition'
to the progress of the Morey-men.
There once was a time when
the Tiger used to take the Hilltop-pers
in tow regularly, but last fall
" the Methodists pulled the unexpected
and held the Plainsmen to a margin
of one lone touchdown and a kicked
goal. The Tiger supporters waited
with baited breath for the final whis­tle,
while the Magic City tribe cut
loose with a mad, slashing attack on
the Tiger goal line and, for several
minutes things looked dull for the
Villagers. Which all goes to show^
that the Southerners have grown up
now and will have to be regarded
in a more serious vein.
A week following the Magic City
„ tilt the Tigers will journey to South
Carolina to take on the Tigers of
Clemson College. Last year the Clem-j.
sonites were defeated in one of the
hardest fought battles of the season,
by a margin of one touchdown and
two field goals that sailed off of the
toe of] .Clabber Williams. As the
" game is played on home coming day
at Clemson, the Tiger-Tiger battle
should be one of the hardest fought
of the season.
October 10, will feature the annual
home coming day at Auburn with
' the game with Virginia Polytechnic
Institute being the chief attraction
on that occasion. The Virginians are
expected to present a powerful squad
as a majority of the steller perform­ers
who held the Tiger to a zero
deadlock last fall will appear in the
lineup.
Following the tilt with the Gob­blers
the Plainsmen will be busy
.iring^aay f o r t h e lon& 3o u r n ey
. Dallas where they lock horns with
the Texas Longhorns. This should
prove one of, if not the hardest,
game of the season due to the fact
that traveling over so much territor
under such varying conditions will
tend" to weaken any team.
Morey's men will have a breathing
spell after the Texas affair, however,
when the Bulldogs of Howard College
are met on the campus. _
The final day of October will find
the Tigers over at Crampton Bowl
in the annual contest with Tulane.
For the first time in history the boys
from New Orleans gave the dope
quite an upset by twisting the tail
- t h e Bengal Tiger at Montgomery
| 'ist fall, and Coach Morey will try
jg£--.rO prevent a recurrence of it this
trip.
On One hrst week-end of Novem­ber
the scene shifts to Columbus;
where the annual game with the
Georgians is fought. Georgia and
Auburn have long been friendly riv­als
and neither team during the past
f ew years has managed to gain the
verdict by more than one touch­down.
On November 14, the Tigers are
booked again for Birmingham where
they tackle the Vanderbilt Commo­dore's
at Rickwood. Last year, though
badly outrushed, the Tennesseans
grabbed off the verdict by recover­ing
a Tiger fumble and running for a
touchdown. A long pass netted them
another six points.
The curtain ringer of the season
and in many respects the most im­portant
game is the Turkey Day tilt
with the Golden Tornado in Atlanta.
The Techsters have not succumbed to
defeat at the hands of the Tigers
since the memorable day in 1919,
when Donahue's men made their bid
for Southern honors. The Tigers
will have over a week to prepare for
this game as there is no game on tab
for the Saturday previous.

vnich I can open your heart?

OLD KING FOOTBALL
AWAKES SATURDAY
Four Southern Teams Tee Off;
Panthers Take on Marion
Cadets; . Real Opening
September 26.
King Football gets an official
awakening for this season on next
Saturday afternoon. However only
a few games will be played, as the
real big-league season will not get
under way until Sep. 26.
No conference games will be play­ed
this Saturday, but two S. I. C.
teams have scheduled warm-up con­tests
to fit them for the real grind
later. The Flying Cadets of ,V. M. I.
have taken on Wofford as a starter,
while our future opponents, the Gob­blers
of V. P. I., will entertain the
Lynchburg team. Neither conference
team, should have any difficulty in
taking their respective enemies in
tow. The Cadets will not have a real
*
test until October 3 when they take
on Georgia Tech, while the Gobbler's
first real obstacle will be- furnished
by our own Tigers.
The well-known Panthers of
Birmingham-Southern, who will act
as hosts to the Plainsmen on Sept.
26, will start off the current season
by taking on the Cadets of Marion
Institute. While the Cadets will give
the Southerners plenty to think
about, there is not much doubt as to
who will bring home the bacon. This
game will probably give the Panthers
enough of a workout, however, to
put them in the best of shape for the
coming tilt with the Tigers.
Although the conference - season
proper does not start until October 3.
there promises to be plenty of action
on hand when the ball is set rolling.
In fact the conference race this year
promises to be the hottest in many a
noon, with the strong teams about
holding their own, and with many of
the weaker teams developing con­siderable
strength.
Auburn"open* tier cirni'eVeiito SC*=
son against Clemson, on October 3.
Virginia will pay a visit to Georgia,
while the two Carolinas will mix
things together. The Flying Cadets
jf V. P. I. will lock horns with the
Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech. On
the following Saturday there are six
tilts due, while on October 17 there
are no less than nine conflicts. The
two final week-ends in October are
marked by eleven and seven tilts re­spectively.
By the first of November there
should be a fairly definite separa-of
the contenders from the also-rans,
and the month ensuing should be
marked by some titanic struggles be
tween the big teams. The season will
close on Turkey Day, and it is not
at all impossible that this day shall
be the deciding one, as was the case
last year. It will be remembered that
Alabama and Georgia entered the
Thanksgiving game in a tie for first
place honors and that the Crimson
Tide washed the Georgians clean
back to the Cracker State. Washing­ton
and Lee was also at the top, but
an the following Saturday succumbed
to Florida, giving the Tide a clear
lease on the flag.
Auburn's conference schedule this
year includes six games, and the
early season work of the Tigers quite
definitely stamps them as contenders
After helping Clemson celebrate
home-coming day the Tigers come
back to have home-coming day of
their own, with V. P. I. as their
guests. Texas and Howard, two non-conference
teams, are then encount­ered.
Then comes the trouble, with
four of the leading conference teams
to be met in succession. How's this
for a bag of trouble: Tulane, Georgia,
Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech. If the
Tigers can stand the onslaughts of
this quartet of able teams, they will
surely have a say-so in the conference
race.
The S. I. C. has gradually been
increasing in class for the past few
years and with continued improve­ment
will be recognized by authori­ties
as ranking with the other big
conferences of the country.
Tigers Prepare For
First Scrimmage
Pea Greene is Shifted Into Quarter­back's
Position
A glimpse of Drake Field (just a
glimpse) after the middle of the sec­ond
week of intensive practice dis­closes
somewhat over sixty candi­dates
working out for the Tiger foot­ball
squad. At present the men are
divided into five teams with several
extra men.
There is a good practice with pep
and enthusiasm running high. Coach
Morey is giving considerable atten­tion
to place kicking, with some
punting and a little passing. The
squads also have been running a few
signals.
The tacking dummy made its ini­tial
appearance Tuesday along with
some additional wearing apparel, in
the nature of headgears and pads.
The sawdust bag hit the dirt many
dozens of times' as the new mentor
had his pupils working out in the
tackling department.
Pea Greene, speedy half of the
past two seasons, has been shifted to
quarter, which has been somewhat
of a surprise. The elongated back,
however, has been looking good at
his new post at the signal calling
station and may be permanently lo­cated
there.
A merry battle de luxe is be'ng
waged over the tackle positions with
Harkins, Pruit, Patterson, Burn.?,
McFaden and Long scrapping it out
among themselves.
Coach Morey will not make any
statement regarding those who are toT
be present when the whistle blows
at Munger Bowl. Tie lose of Mid
Haygood caused by additional schol­astic
work, will be sorely felt. Ha-good
demonstrated hiis ability to hit
a line hard and lis absence this year
will leave Salter and Tamer to carry
on at full.
The first serirrroage of the season
is slated for next Tuesday, with two
additional sciimnuige'si-'sioii ^rrterfir'
place before the opening tilt with
Birmingham-Southern.
Joe Market, wh i is both a good
tackle and flankniau has been miss­ing
from the practice doe to an in­fected
ear. Joe is in the hospital at
Opelika and will probably recover
sufficiently to be permitted to get
in harness beforo the campaign Js
very far underway.
Red Harkins, Auburn s
Gridiron 1925 Leader
During the past sevpral campaigns
Auburn has had such able gridiron
leaders as John Shirley, a flashy
back, "Rip" Regan, guard, and
"Fatty" Lawrence, tenter. As a
worthy successor to this memorable
trio Auburn now has "Red" Harkins
who will lead her 1925 gridders from
the tackle position. Mr. Edward Har­kins,
after serving a quartet of years
at the stake driving course, often
termed civil engineering, has return­ed
to his beloved alma mater to take
up post graduate work and incident-
"DUTCH" SALTER
Meet "Dutch," "Square Jaw" Sal­ter
whose official cognomen is Her­man
Virgil. Salter, line plunger
deluxe on Coach Morey's grid ma­chine,
is starting out on his second
year in a Tiger varsity uniform.
Last season, his first on the varsity
squad, Dutch earned the reputation
of being one of Dixie's premier full­backs,
and this season great things
are expected of the big boy in the
line ramming department.
"Square Jaw" hails from the vicin­ity
of Bessemer, and formerly helped
that school to" win championships.
Later, when the Hueytown High
School opened he entered that school
and again strutted his stuff.
Coming to Auburn in the fall of
'22, Salter played on the freshman
squad. After the conclusion of the
first semester, however, he left
school, returning again the next fall.
Not being eligible for a varsity uni­form,
"Dutch" was forced to work
out with the scrubs, and, needless to
say, he delt some of his more fortur
nate mates considerable misery.
Given an opportunity to display
his wares last fall, the big fellow
got himself into the limelight in
nearly every game in which he per­formed.
With such able men as Sal-ters
and his co-star, "Sea Cow"
Turner, Auburn's trio of coaches
should have very little worry about
the fullback station.

Makes No Predictions
ly to see that none of the Tiger ad-
•yefgar-tes approach too near to the
Jungaleer goal posts.
"Red" when not busy in the "fair­est
village," may often be seen grac­ing
the thoroughfares of Bessemer,
his home town where he formerly
played in a Purple Tiger uniform.
Captain Harkins is entering in his
third year as an Orange and Blue
luminary. His cleverness and speed
have enabled him to apply the Wakes
to many an overanxious opponent.
The middle of the second week of
practice finds the baby Tigers some­what
reduced in numbers, the squad
having been sliced from the original
one hundred and twenty to its pres­ent
quota which numbers some where
in the vicinity of seventy, who trot­ted
out to the field Wednesday.
The weeding out process will con­tinue
by degrees for some time until
Coach "Red" Brown has reached the
usual number of warriors who will
take their positions when tl«s whistl"
for the contest with the Howaru Col­lege
Bullpups, which will officially
inaugurate the season.
At present there are candidates
from all over the state of Alabama
and her sister states, Florida and
Georgia. Coach Brown has three
complete backfields in operation. He
also has as many excellent prospects
for the line including a quartet of
guards and as many tackles. There
are several very promising flankmen
in the lot, and Red has his hands
filled to the brim in deciding just
who will succeed in wearing the
Freshman letters this fall.
The rodent menter seamed very
well pleased with the material on
hand, but would make no prediction
as to the outcome of the season.
Coach Brown named several of
those who had impressed him the
most but he was careful to state that
these men were by no means assured
of regular berths as there were many
out who were, probably the equal of
any of those named.
The list includes: backfield Mosely,
Pensacola; Fisher, La Grange; Port­er,
Hughytown; McLain, Hughytown;
Peak, Pensacola; E. James, Auburn;
F. James, Auburn; Spicer, Anda­lusia;
Hartselle, Hartselle; Bartleson,

ingredients for a successful

noted for its famous bands, and this

Kirk Newell, former Tiger foot­ball
star, and for the past few years
coach of th e freshman football
and baseball teams, has followed the
large influx of America's citizenry
into Florida where he will enter the
real estate business and pilot the
athletic teams at the Summerlin In­stitute
at Bartow, Fla. In his athletic
activities he will be assisted by
Swede Sitz, who last year performed
on the local fields in a football and
baseball uniform.
Coach Newell, or Kirk, as he is
jpow familiarly known, had the dif­ficult
assignment of taking in tow a
couple of hundred athletic hopefulls
and moulding them into a winning
frosh combination from which the
varsity draws its needed material.
We still remember the hurculean
windup the rodents made last year
when they came from arrears and
by a whirlwind finish tied the little
Tech tornado at thirteen all. Several
of last spring's baseball artists will
be wearing the coveted "A" this
spring.
Sitz rounded out his athletic career
at Auburn last year when he made
letters in both football and base­ball.
The big Swede was one of the
big guns of the line and starred in
the diamond sport both on the hill
and in the gardens. Swede twirled
some credible performances foi
! Coach Cole who is also in the Aili-rgator
state. Incidently it might be
worth while to mention that Coach
Herbert Bunker is at Gainsville,
helping to develop the University of
Florida grid machine, making it a
quartet of Auburn men who have
cast their lot on the peninsula.
Summerlini which as located at
Bartow, always has presented a
scrappy outfit, and for the past few
seasons iuur held state- champion­ships.
The following is from clippings
taken from a Bartow newspaper:
Plans are already underway for
Summerlin's best year in football.
Only a very few have been lost
among the regulars of last year's
championship squad and much new
material has come in. The boys were
out yesterday for limbering up exer­cises
and will start active practice
under the supervision of the coach
today.
Summerlin is fortunate in having
Kirk Newell, former coach of the
Auburn Rats for several seasons, as
head coach this year with a friend
of Mr. Newell's to act as assistant in
coaching the line. Both gentlemen
are interested in Bartow real estate
at the present time and offered their
services to the school during the
football season.
* * * * * * * *
Saying only that he is working
to produce a fighting team whether
it is a winning one or not, Kirk
Newell, former mentor of the Au,-
burn Rats and new coach for Sum­merlin,
is putting the candidates
through a hard drill daily on the lo­cal
athletic field. The squad was
greatly strengthened this week by
the appearance of a number of boys
who had not previously come out for
football. Stung by the report that
Summerlin faced a disastrous year
through the failure of a majority of
last year's regulars to return, prac­tically
every boy qualified in any
way to take part in athletics asked
for a uniform and joined the prac­tice
this week. From the group of
18 that turned out at the call last
week it increased to 25 on Wednes­day.
Coach Newell was considerably
encouraged over the added turnout.
The absence of two full teams before
made it difficult to hold a practice
scrimmage and turning out a first
class team in line with Summerlin
of past years looked to be a prob­lem.
Yes, times have changed. The old
slogan used to be "Be on the bleach­ers."
But we know that our coaches
are out for the best and that there
will be plenty of opportunity to see
the aggregation perform in the reg­ular
games.
From the looks of things we have
a real freshman team out this season
and one that is going to cut some
ice against some of its southern foe-men.
Red Roberts says that he is oiling
up his throat in preparation for a big
season and the red topped yell pro­ducer
can hold his own with the best
of them when it comes to the tonj-sorial
game.
"Square Jaw" announces that he
is in the proverbial pink and that
he intends to traverse a goodly por­tion
of Munger Bowl real estate a
week hence. At that Square will have
to go some to beat his previous rec­ord
at the bowl.
Some day when you are not parti­cularly
busy, you are requested to
visit the new frosh field and incident­ly
view the James twins. These boys
performed on the freshman baseball
team last spring and the~bnly way
that they could be distinguished was
due to the fact that Fobb James ap­peared
in a different pair of socks.
One thing is certain. Our boys
won't mind the strong alkiline water
of Texas if they continue to imbibe
the palate tickling aqua pura that is
being dished out in Tigertown.
John English, tackle of last year,
will not be with the Tigers this fall
as the tall lad has been given a
scholarship at Carneige Tech.
Tiger supporters will probably
have an opportunity to witness the
performan c<£ of their favorites * * • » |
the first scrimmage takes place Tues­day.
Two additional scrimmages are
slated to take -place before the Birm­ingham-
Southern game.
All of which serves to remind that
some of the Panther's Magic City
supporters are doping the hilltop out­fit
to finish on the long end of the
score.

Cooperative Marketing
Is Urged By Duncan
Reminding them that the price of
cotton is now about two cents below
what it was a t the beginning of the
present season and that there is no
statistical reason for it, the cause
being "dumping," Prof. L. N. Dun­can,
director of the Alabama exten­sion
service, has "written a letter to
all the bankers in Alabama urging
them to give cooperative marketing
their "unqualified active, support not
only by encouraging but by helping
farmers to deliver their cotton to the
Farm Bureau Cotton association."
Analyzing the situation, Prof.Dun­can
says the cotton in sight now is
practically the same as that in sight
a year ago, while the present price is
three cents a pound lower. With a
prospective yield of a million bales
this means a loss of $15,000,000 to
Alabama. The drop of two cents a
pound since picking began is equiva­lent
to $10,000,000.
On the effects of business, Prof.
Duncan tells them that while busi­ness
is good it would certainly be
much better if the buying power of
cotton growers vV'sre, increased by
$15,000,000.
"This loss," he says, "is not due
to any statistical or real economic
condition. It is due almost wholly to
forcing cotton on the market too rap
idly." The same position fi ..aKen
by F. W. Gist, federal and state sta­tistician.
The full text of Dr. Duncan's let­ter
follows:
"The prosperity of our farmers
and the stability of all business de­pend
almost entirely upon the price
of cotton.
"A year ago, we had 15,334,000
bales of cotton in sight. At present
we have a possibility of 15,610,000
bales or only a few thousand bales
more than last year.
"However, cotton has dropped two
cents per pound during the past few
weeks. At present, cotton is about
three cents per pound below what it
was this time last year.
"In Alabama," the estimated yield
is about one million bales. With the
depressed price of three cents per
pound, this means that Alabama is
losing about $15,000,000.
"Our business conditions are good
but I cannot help but think of how
much better they would be if our
cotton farmers had this increased
buying power of $15,000,000.
"This loss is not due to any statis­tical
or real economic condition. It
is almost wholly due to forcing cot­ton
on the market too rapidly.
"The remedy to this condition is
cooperative marketing, where cotton
is warehoused, insured and gradually
fed to the market as the market
will consume it.
"Our farmers are making, a su­preme
effort through the Alabama
Farm Bureau Cotton Association to
remedy this condition and they are
going to win. In this great task, they
need imperatively the active coopera­tion
of the bankers. This would has­ten
the day of victory and prosperity
for both agriculture and business in
our great state.
"May I earne_stly appeal to you
to think this matter over and give it
your unqualified, active support, not
only by encouragement, but by help­ing
farmers to deliver their cotton to
the association?''

The effect of the August drought
in Alabama, with its intense heat is
shown by a decline in the condition
and indicated production of practi­cally
every field crop of the state
since August 1, according to a re­port
issued today by F. W. Gist, ag­ricultural
statistician, cooperating
with the Alabama Extension Service
and Alabama Department of Agricul­ture.
The drought caused the condition
of corn to drop from 72 per cent of
normal on August 1, to 68 per cent
on September 1, the indicated pro­duction
falling to 41,300,000 bushels
from the 42,841,000 bushels fore­casted
from the August 1 condition.
Last year the state corn crop was
42,185,000 bushels.
Th condition of same hay on Sep­tember
1 was 55 per cent of normal,
this being a decline from the condi­tion
of 64 per cent shown on August
1. The production forecast for hay,
based on the September 1 condition
is 537,000 tons, against 605,000 tons
harvested in the state last year.
% Peanuts were hard hit by the dry
weather during August, the condition
falling from 78 per cent of normal
on August 1, to 61 per cent one
month late«i; The production esti­mated
from the September 1 condi­tion
is 2,987,000 bushels, compared
with the August forecast of 3,448,000
bushels, and 4,000,000 bushels har­vested
in 1924.
Sweet potatoes showed a condition
of 57 per cent of normal on Septem­ber
1, indicating a crop this year of
5,921,000 bushels. 6,205,000 bushels
were harvested last year.
The condition of the late Irish po­tato
crop of 6,000 acres in the state
was 52 per cent of normal on Sep­tember
1. The forecast of the late
crop from this condition is 312,000,-
000 bushels, which, with the 1,334,-
000 bushels produced from the early
and intermediate crops, indicated that
the total production for the state this
year will be 1,646,000 bushels, com­pared
with the 1924 crop of 2,947,000
bushels.
The .cane syrup crops were also
damaged greatly by the drought. The
sugar cane condition of 57 per cent
of normal points to a production
of 3,175,000 gallons against 3,816,-
000 gallons last year. Sorghum cane,
with a condition of 68 percent on
September 1, indicates a prgduction
of 3,227,000 gallons, compared with
2,000,000 gallons last year.
The condition of minor crops on
September 1, in per cent of normal
follow: cowpeas, 58; soybeans, 63;
velvet beans, 62; alfalfa, 57; pas­tures,
68; apples, 40;.pears, 65, and
pecans, 68.
The average yield of corn fodder
is estimated at 375 pounds per acre
pulled with 55 per cent of the corn
acreage pulled for fodder. The esti­mated
value of this fodder is $1.80
per hundred pounds.
Reports show that the average pro­duction
of milk on September 1 was
14 gallons per cow milked on that
day. Thirty per cent of the hens were
reported as laying on September 1.
The supply of farm labor was 81
per cent of normal, while the demand
was 93 per cent, the cotton*picking
season causing a reversal from last
month when the supply was greater
than the demand. >

HOME DEMONSTRATION
WOMEN DISCUSS PLACING
MEMORIAL IN AUBURN
Prattville, Ala., Sept. 18.—Special.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Gordon
DeRamus, of the Booth community
in Autauga county, a movement is
now under way among the 5,000
home demonstration club women of
Alabama to place a suitable memorial
at Smith Hall, the girls' home at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Au­burn
.
While at Auburn in a short course
last spring, women from all over the
the state decided that th»»home dem­onstration
club members should have
a memorial; and the committee, of
which Mrs. DeRamus is chairman, has
decided on a big floor clock over
seven feet tall. The cabinet of the
clock which they have in mind is
solid mahogany and the clock chimes
quarter hours and also the full hours.
Such a gift, Mrs. DeRamus says, will
be both useful and ornamental.
At their community and county
meetings the club women are now
discussing the proposition with a view
to having it installed as soon as suf­ficient
funds are collected.
FORTY-THIRD WEEK EGG
LAYING CONTEST BRINGS
INCREASE OF 182 EGGS
An increase of 182 eggs during
the forty-third week of the national
egg laying contest in progress here is
reported by John E. Ivey, head of
the poultry department.
With the exception of the first
place, changes continue to be made
in the high individual class. A Rhode
Island Red owned by Oscar Reinhart
of Birmingham closed the forty-fourth
week ahead of all other in­dividuals
with 254 eggs to her credit.
White Leghorns occupied the four
next high places, as follows: W. E.
Pyles, Mayesville, Ky., 243; Happy
Poultry Yards, Memphis, Tenn., 238;
Great Southern Poultry Farm, Line-ville,
Ala., 231; and W. E. Pyles,
227.
Another Rhode Island Red of the
Reinhart pen was sixth with 225. The
Barred Rock owned by Mrs. D. T.
Tatum, of LaFayette, which held first
place more than half of the contest,
dropped to fourteenth place. She'
went broody early in August.
In the pen class White Leghorns
are safely in the lead. The highest
are: Happy Poultry Farms, Memphis,
1944; W. E. Pyles, Maysville, Ky.,
1935; George B. F,erris, Grand Rap­ids,
Mich., 1922; Great Southern
Poultry Farm, Lineville, Ala., 1911;
R. R. Skelton, Pell City, Ala., 1904.
Outside of the White Leghorns,
Oscar Reinhart's pen of Rhode Is­land
Reds is leading with 1873. A pen
of Anconas owned by J. Norris Weed
of Ariton, Ala., is next with 1792.
The Georgia State College of Agri­culture
is leading in the Barred Rock
class with 1522, and F. J. Sauer of
Mobile owns the leading pen of
Minorcas with 1558.
Although there is only one pen
of Blue Andalusians in the contest,
that being owned by Smith Oaks
Plantation of Artesia, Miss., they had
1636 eggs to their credit.
A Brown Leghorn pen owned by
o,n-v Davis of Pittsview, Ala., is
leading in that breed with 1572.
DJL. C. A. CARY
Dr. C. A. Cary, State Veterinarian,
made a yery interesting 4a&
Veterinary Society Wednesday eren-ing
on his recent trip to Texas, where
he studied the new outbreak of foot
and mouth disease.
Dr. Cary explained to the society
the danger of the disease to the cattle
industry, and why it was necessary
to place a new quarantine on Texas
preventing the shipment of its pro­ducts
into Alabama. Even though he
disapproves of Texans shipping into
our state, he was treated very cordi­ally
while in the diseased area. Dr.
Cary made many friends with vet­erinarians
and cowboys. They assisted
him in lassoing and examining many
of the diseased animals.
Dr. Cary predicts that if the disease
is not skillfully handled it will soon
spread over the entire country and
destroy the greater part of the live­stock
industry.

EVANS LITERARY SOCIETY
HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING
The first meeting of the Evans
Literary Society was held Monday
night, September 14, in room 303 of
the main building. About fifteen
of the old members, as well as several
'freshmen and upperclassmen who are
prospective members, were present.
A few new officers were elected to
fill the vacancies left by those who
were elected last year and could not
return to college this year. After the
business had been attended to the
meeting was turned into an experi­ence
meeting. The old members were
called on to tell their experience dur­ing
the summer, after which the
freshmen were called on to introduce
themselves. •
It is very desirous that the Evans
Society be one of the foremost so­cieties
of the college this year, and
this will necessitate the affiliaion of
several new members. The society
was organized last year by the fresh­men
and is principally for the fresh­men
this year, although not alto­gether.
We have not fully decided
whether those upperclassmen above
sophomores will be allowed member­ship
or not, but a new constitution is
being framed that will be voted on
at the next meeting and the results
will be published in next week's pa­per.
Our next meeting will be held
next Monday night, and we extend
a cordial invitation to all those who
are considering joining a society as
well as to the visitors.

^he college man has some smart ideas about
his fall clothes ~
HERE THEY ARE
DOUBLE BREASTEDS are going to be popular with young
men this fall; a very definite type of two and three but­ton
model. You see it in the picture. A broad shouldered,
ea'sy hanging model. Hart Schaffner & Marx have produced
it just as college men want it; in the right colors and fabrics.
We've priced it just the way young men want it—to give lots of value.
Two and three button single breasted ityles: everything right; extra trous­ers
with every suit.
$35.00 to $45.00
