BAPTIST MEET
ATTENDED BY
25 STUDENTS
u. of A. Host To Baptist
Students of State During
Week-end
A delegation of twenty-five left
Auburn last Friday morning at daybreak
for Tuscaloosa to attend the
State Baptist Student Union conven-tion,
which convened from Friday af
J-ernoon through Sunday afternoon.
Composed of students of Alai/ama
Polytechnic Institute, with the Baptist
minister of Auh-nrn, a happy
party it was who? travelled through
rain and over ba'd roads for some
two hundred pfiiles.
ArrivjMg T>efore dark the Auburn
group registered and were each carried
to a home in the city where they
were cared for during the entire conference.
And from the reception given,
the people of Tuscaloosa seem
to have a fond liking for Auburn
students.
The entire conference was a success.
Talks by Miss Georgine Coley,
of Montgomery, Miss Louise Forman,
Traveling Secretary, Interboard Commission;
John B. Crockett, Educational
Director, First Baptist Church,
Tuscaloosa; Miss Mary Frances Johnson,
Columbus, Miss.; Dr. J. R. Hobbs
Pastor First Baptist Church, Birmingham;
Mrs. Ida Stallworth, Secretary
Alabama Baptist W. M. U.
Montgomery; Dr. P. P. Burns, Howard
College; Dr. David M. Gardner,
Pastor First Baptist Church, Ensley;
Dr. Geo. H. Denny, Pres. Universi-
' ty of Alabainar D. F. Green, General
Secretary, Baptist Executive Board,
Montgomery, Dr. H. E. Dana, Southwestern
Theological Seminary, Fort
Worth, Texas; H. S. Hughes, Memphis,
Tennessee; were very interesting
and were listened to attentively.
There is sure to go out in the near
future some one who will carry the
great ideal taught during the conference.
The conference keynote
was, "The Challenge of The Christian
Ideal."
Many thrills were experienced on
the trip. R. E. Smith, Jr., of Eutaw,
Ala., established a world's record in
driving a Ford automobile, with the
help of Miss Neida Martin, of Auburn.
Can anyone drive without
hands? This is the record made. Going
from Auburn to Birmingham with
the- wheel minus a steering guide.
Publicity prevents publishing the reward
won. Smith will explain the
formula to anyone writing for same.
On the return trip more thrills.
This time with a real Jonah. The only
objection was with the preacher,
Rev. E. W. Holmes, of Auburn, who
was the "Dad" of the party.
Mail Delivery
The city mail delivery was inaugurated
Monday morning. Students
who do not have a box at
the Post Office are requested to
leave their house address at the
Plainsman office before Wednesday
as no papers will be delivered
at the window. This arrangement
has been made necessary and after
this week will be permanent.
All students who fail to receive a
copy of the Plainsman this week
may call by the office and secure
-»"copy.

It happened just out of Tuscaloosa.
In fact it happened all the way.
This Jonah became sick (very queer
kind). It happened that Miss Lorene
Parrish of Auburn, Formally of Clan-ton,
performed an unknown medical
operation. Of course it worked and
the Jonah became better very rapidly.
Doctors (other than men) wishing
to know the secret can get same upon
writing Miss Parrish.
All told the trip was a great delight;
a real inspiration for those
who went, and a worth-while objective
won.
Included in the trip were boys and
girls from all parts of Alabama.
There were the following:
Misses Neida Martin, Rubye Powell,
Sarah Ingram, Eunice Stinnett,
Edna Creel, Agnes Ingram, Lorene
Parrish; Messrs O. T. Ivey, J. R.
Camp, Rowe Johnson, Floyd Brown,
O. C. Helms, J. E. Hydrick, Martin
Palmer, F. M. Sparks, J. H. Price,
H. A. Bess, Harvey Pate, W. L.
Gantt, Marvin Guin, R. E. Smith, Jr.,
C. C. Phillips, Roy Sellers, J. Palmer,
and Rev. E. W. Holmes.
On July 1st six Auburn boys of
the- Class of '25, W. A. Thompson,
A. Y. McConnell, J. N. Relfe, R. J.
Barefield, C. H. Turk and H. F.
Schwekendiek, arrived in Atlanta to
begin work iiKthe Students' Training
Course given by the Southern Bell
Telephone Company. They were not,
however, the only college men fortunate
enough to be chosen, for upon
arrival they found seventeen men
from the other southern colleges
awaiting them.
Auburn leads the list with six, Mississippi
A. & M. four, Tech three,
University of Georgia two, University
of Kentucky two, North Carolina
State two, Louisiana State University
one, Clemson one, Vanderbilt one
and "Georgetown one. Although competition
is keen, the class has a wonderful
spirit of good fellowship.
In the training course the boys are
given weekly assignments covering
every phase of practical telephone
work. Notes are taken on these assignments
to serve as references at
a later date. On Saturday mornings
the class meets for lectures, exchange
of experiences, turning in of "notes,
new assignments and general get-together.
The class is organized with our
famous Mr. Turk as president, and
holds regular meetings every Saturday
morning. Lots of dances and
dinners come in on the program, so
the course is very much enjoyed.
We all expect to receive our permanent
assignments in productive
work upon completing the course on
November fifteenth.
Mr. Weisiger tells us that he is
planning a visit ty Auburn in the
near future, when he will put before
the seniors, the Company's plans for
taking some more Auburn boys next
year.
The highway between Auburn and
Opelika is to be paved in the near
future. The contract was let out to
Miller Bros. Construction Co., several
days ago, and work has already
been started on it. This work is being
carried on under the supervision
of Mr. de Jarnette, who is head engineer.
The road-bed is now being
surveyed and the position of the surfacing
located. The first of this
work was done by a group of Auburn
students in Civil Engineering.
The concrete surface which ia to
be laid on this road will cost an immense
sum of money, but the benefits
to be derived from this road will
pay for its construction many times
over. There is to be five miles of
this concrete road. This will facilitate
commerce between Opelika and
Auburn to a large extent, and will
even benefit many other surrounding
communities. With the coming
of new Factories and industries, to
Auburn and Opelika, business should
take an upward move, as a result
of the surfacing of this road between
the towns.
The paving of this road, is indeed
a step forward and here's to hope that
Lee county continues to build more
good roads, and thus attract more
new industries to her towns.

Thursday morning was filled with
the arrival and registration of delegates.
Dean Potter delivered a welcome
address -at the noon luncheon
held in the Union Building. This

of our textbooks. No time was lost
in getting down to business and the
first business session was called to

the evening a smoker was given in
the Tower Room of Union at which
the Perdue team gave a model initiation.
Friday was marked by the
morning business session, lunch at
Union and the afternoon business
session.
One of the features of the convention
was the formal convention" dance
Friday evening. All delegates were
supplied with dancing partners. Laughter
and merriment reigned supreme
amidst rustling silks and gay
colors. We must congratulate the
entertainment committee on having
put over such a delightful affair.
The closing session of the convention
was held Saturday morning at
eight thirty. Arrangements were
made for the entire convention to
attend the Perdue-Rose Poly football
game Saturday afternoon in a body,
as the guests of the local chapter. It
was the pleasure of the guest to see
Perdue come out with 44-0 score.
Nothing was spared in the entertainment

dealing with the engineering problems
of Auburn.
The program consisted of a talk
by Professor Hill along the line of
technical education. In his talk he
told about how the engineer is prepared
in college for his profession
and that the engineer is not through
then but he has to keep up to date
with the things about him. He classed
the engineer in two classes one

Columbus, Ga., is located on the

Habersham and the Valleys of Hall,
if Lanier be correct, are also, located

On the night of Oct. 28 the students
of agriculture were successful
in demonstrating to the student body
that they were doing some interesting
work along the line of agriculture.
C. H. Kearns, president of the
fair association, was assisted by O.
F. Wise in making the fair a great
success.
The evening preceding the fair the
Ag. students paraded by the college
with types of live stock which the
majority of .the student body had
never dreamed of being at Auburn.
The parade aroused the interest of
many who would never have given the
fair a single thought. A large crowd
reported at the fair and every one
seemed to have a nice time. s
The co-eds stepped upon the stage
of action and presented two very attractive
short plays. One - of the
plays referred to the cave men of
poineer days. The other was a three
act comedy which- aimed at present
day conditions if the woman is un-trained
in Home Economics. In the
first set a woman was introduced who
could not cook-, this caused quarrels
and unhappineae between husband
and wife, The second act. brought
the, County Demonstrator into tile
home, who taught the lady of the ing three
house up-to-date methods of cooking.
In the third act the family was
one of the happiest on earth which
was the results of the visits made
by the demonsrtator.
The milking contest was an interesting,
event of the evening. Miss
Edna Creel milked four pounds of
milk within three minutes which was
the best record made by the four
girls who entered the contest. While
dealing with live stock the Ag. boys
put on a judging contest. Some very
attractive beef cattle were shown to
the student body. These same cattle
were carried this week to the fair at
Montgomery where they will he sold.
It was a great event that the Ag. students
were able to show some of the
things at their fair which is being
seen this week at the state fair.
The Sophomore class was successful
in winning over the Freshman
class in the wheel barrow polo contest.
This was a very interesting feature
of the fair as each class was
anxious to win over the other. Last
year the present Sophomore class
was able to win over the Sophomore
class of last year, therefore, the Sophomores
were used to the contest
and had but little tsouble in winning
over the present Freshman class.
Four boys ranging from five feet
to six feet and eight inches in height
were represented in the bathing beauty
contest. These boys were repre-

White Leghorns
From England in
Second Contest
With 1000 hens from 11 states and
1 foreign country, the second national
egg-laying contest at Auburn began
Sunday morning, Nov. 1. Prof.
John E. Ivey, head of the poultry
department, says that conditions are
most favorable for the opening of
the contest which is to last for one
year.
AH breeds and strains are represented,
but especial interest is being
attracted by the pen of White Leghorns
from England.
They were shipped from the farm,
of Mr. Tom Baron of Preston, Eng.
The famous. Tom Baron strain of
White Leghorns are known the world
over, and the pen at Auburn have
already shown their breeding by lay-is
on the first day of
their arrival after
journey across the Atlantic
A year ago the first contest of
this kind was started here. Since it
was the first one held in this section
of the United States its rank of
third place among all of the national
contests attracted much favorable
attention for the South as a desirable
location for the profitable production
of poultry.

class were able to eat a greater
quantity of food than were two boys
of the sophomore class. There was
much laughter over the boys trying
to stretch their hides in Order that
another bite could be consumed.
Blind folded boys are as apt to hit
one things as another when boxing.
At times the boxers would lose each
other and would have to be directed
by the referee. During the contest
one of the boxers found the referee
and was about to give him a licking
when the whistle was blown.
Good music was given by the orchestra,
Francis Brothers, and the
boys double quartet of the college.
By a large percent of college Boys,
music is highly appreciated; so all
were glad for the music to begin but
regretted for it to stop.
STUDENT TICKETS
Students are again reminded
that the sale of tickets for the
Vandy game to be played in
Birmingham will begin Monday
and will continue through Wednesday.
For this game coupon
number six from the athletic
book will be used. All are re-

soon as possible next week to
avoid congestion on the last day.
Classes will be excused for the
Vandy game.
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
HOLDS GOOD MEETING
The Home Economics Club met at
its usual place last Thursday afternoon
at 4:15 o'clock.
A discussion of the business was
first taken up, an it was moved and
passed that the money be raised to
pay the Chinese Scholarship pledge.
It was decided to have a bazaar along
about December the 1st and let the
college and high school cooperate together
in making this a success. A
round table discussion was also decided
upon and the time will be spent
working on the gifts for the bazaar.
After the business the following
programme-was rendered: Miss Hazel
Arant gave an interesting talk
on "The five marks of an educated
man." Miss Elta Majors followed with
five additional facts constituting an
educated man. Both talks were very
inspiring and caused all to realize
the necessity of an all around education.
Miss Monnie Wood gave an interesting
report "The analysis of the
school teachers job," which concluded
the programme.
The Home Economics Club invites
new members and visitors at the regular
meetings, Thursday afternoon
at 4:15 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A.
building.
When the Auburn Tiger and the
Georgia Bulldog lock horns in Columbus
the coming week end, it will mark
the 30th time that representatives of
these two institutions have met each
other on the grid rectangle, during a
period covering a span of 33 years.
Every fall, with the exception of
those of '03 and '07, and the war
years of '17 and '18, these two have
fought it out, the Tigers emerging
the victors on 16 occasions while the
Georgia neighbors copped 10 contests
with three ending in zero deadlocks.
The closeness of these games can
be proved by the fact that out of 29
played, 13 have been decided by margins
of one touchdown or less. The
Bulldogs have failed to score 11 times
while the Tigers were administered
whitewash 9 times. The i most onesided
game was that of the final year
of the old century the Tigers winning
44 to 0. The largest margin of
victory on the Athenian side of the
ledger was recorded in '03 when the
Bulldogs won 22 to 13.
The keeness of, competition can be
attested by the fact that at no time
have the Plainsmen been forced to
bow their heads in defeat on three
successive meetings, while the Black
and Red of Georgia has never submitted
for fear straight years. The

day to break the jinx that has
ered over them after' winning two"
straight games, for if they succeed
in annexing the coming battle it will
give them their third victory in as
many attempts.
The_ period of the greatest compi-tition
with closer scores resulting, be^-
gan with the campaign of '16 When
the Tigers defeated Georgia by a
margin of only one field goal. From
that time on no team ever succeeded
in crossing the last stripe of its opponent
on more than one occasion
per contest. During this period covering
a span of nine seasons, the
Georgians have amassed a total of
but 30 points, while their less f a ^
tunate foemen have gathered but 17.
All of the games in this period with
the exception of that of '16 and the
one of '22, were decided by one
touchdown margins.
The game of '16 is famous for the
fact that, with the score standing at
zero all, "Moon" Ducote, who is perhaps
the greatest player ever to don
an Orange and Blue jersey, placed the
oval on a headgear from which he
sent it sailing over and between the,
uprights for a trio of points which
furnished the margin of victory_.fuj>
his mates. This was an innovation
in the sport and, the following year
a rule was passed, which barred the
use of a head gear for such a purpose.
The annual affair was played in
Atlanta prior to 1910. Then it was
shifted to Athens, Macon, and Savannah,
filially winding up at Columbus
which has shown itself to be the
logical place, as crowds of from 8
to 10 thousand have packed Driving
Park since the contests have been
booked for there. 9
It is a rather curious fact that the
first professional coach to be engaged
by either team was Heisman, late
of Clemson, Georgia Tech, Penn,
and Rice. Heisman alighted at Auburn
in 1896. Several years later
the famous "Pop" Warner, formerly
of Pitt and now at Stanford, went to
Georgia.
, In 1896 a member of the Georgia
team was killed and it was in his
memory that football was suspended
at the Athens institution the following
year. However, athletic relations
were continued in '98 when Georgia
resumed operations and defeated the

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
RATS, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE
Perhaps hefore the year is over the rats
will learn not to bother the Senior numeral
as it is really a dangerous piece of business.
Rats you can not buck the Senior
class and expect to make any progress.
The self termed slimes that put the numeral
"29" on the tank, will cause the entire
nan class to suffer, as to repaint the
on of the tank that they ruined will
ecessiate expense and said expense will
'be paid by the freshman class treasurer.
The freshman class of last year tried the
-same identical thing but after the debt
was paid by the entire class they discontinued
the careless use of paint.
„ . ' The Senior class as a whole has worked
hard' the past three years and a part reward
for their work is the privilege to
paint their numeral on the water tank. It
is a Senior honor and privilege and no one
but a Senior can really appreciate this
honor. Every member of the student body
is proud when their numeral is painted on
the tank in a legitimate, manner, but they
do not regard it with pride when some
ber of the class thinks he is doing
some thing smart by trying his hand at
the art of painting. When boys reach
the point that they have nothing else to
do but go around at night and the early
hours of morning climbing tanks and using
paint in an unwarranted manner then they
have no business at Auburn, as the curriculum
here is hard enough to keep the
average student busy most of the time.
Of course every student should have a certain
amount of reaction, but have rt in
dk more beneficial manner and don't make
tHe entire class pay for ( the foolishness.

Alabama alone. It is a challenge flung
to the whole South. The eyes of business
leaders the nation over are turned to the
immense natural resources of the South. It
was reported a year or so ago that the
United States Steel Corporation had definitely
determined that its future expansion
should take place in the South. One
of the speakers of the dedication exercises
already mentioned, C. H. Markham, president
of the Illinois Central Railroad, said:
" 'I want to pay my tribute to the -new
South, which is so rapidly coming to the
fore. My own railroad, originally a Northern
line serving only Illinois, has expanded
so consistently into the South that now
approximately two-thirds of our first-track
mileage, including our Central of
Georgia property, lies south of the Ohio
River. The outlook for the South was
never more promising than it is today.
With1 capital being invested heavily in
Southern prosperity and industries, with
increased production in virtually every
line of agriculture and industrial'activity,
with great activity in railway construction
and harbor improvements for increased
commerce by land and sea, all indications
are that the South is entering up<m an era
of prosperity and expansion hitherto unknown."
"There are two ways in which the great
resources of the,South may be developed,
and the challenge Dr. Dowell has flung
out draws the distinction between them.
On the one hand, and to go to the extreme
for clearness of illustration, the
South can supply the labor, skilled and unskilled,
the office clerks an'd managers,
while depending on the other states for
the leadership. It can be satisfied,/ if it
chooses, with spending the wages of toil
directed by leaders from other sections,
while the big salaries and the profits are
paid to executives and stockholders from
and in other states, and the bulk of the
JUNIORS STRUT NEW UNIFORMS
With the arrival of the new uniforms for
the Juniors, one is constantly reminded
that they are in the presence of generals.
To be more exact some of the Juniors are
strutting them around as if they were
Generals (nuisances), while on the contrary
some of the meeker and more modest
members of the class blush like a sweet
sixteen old maiden when one tells them
they look nice, and respond by acting as
though they feel so unnecessary.
The uniforms this year are a little lighter
in color than the ones of last year, and
this fact has caused the Juniors considerable
embarassment from other members of
the student body, who have spread a rumor
throughout the state at large that the
loveliest village of the plains is being seig-ed
by an army of hostile chauffers. If
such be the case then it is a safe bet that
there are several co-eds who would like
to be carried on a tour of the surrounding
country in and about Auburn taking in
all wonders of nature and by no means
disregarding our most metropolitan suburb
Opelika.
Military authorities state that this years
class has made less criticisms of the uniforms
than any previous class in former
year's, which indeed speaks very creditibly
for the class of '27. The company who
made the uniforms must also be given due
credit as they made a splendid job and
handled it in double quick time.
As a rule most of the uniforms are good
fits, so this partly accounts for the Juniors
-promenading like proud roosters. It
must also be stated that in this shipment
were also the Senior Sam Browne belts,
and it is needless to attempt to describe
how the Senior feels, in the first place
being beyond the vocabulary of the writer
who if you dear patient readers will pardon
the personal reference is « Senior of

The highly trained talents of its people

of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, similarly

great industries and great banking

in the South and then went North

awaited them elsewhere. Some of
them left the South to enter college. In

belief that something better awaited them

WILL THE SOUTH DEVELOP ITS

Appearing in the first page of the October
"Manufactuers Record" the following
article "Will'the South develop its
greatest natural resource?" It is an echo
of the dedication of Erskine Ramsay Engineering
Building and deals with extracts io s s . But in the rising generation, and in
from Mr. Markham's address. generations yet unborn, are and will be the
"Alabama and the South are entering j equals of any of the leaders who have gone
upon a period of unparalleled development, j before. As the great day of Southern pros-that
citizens must answer j perity dawns, proper measures will keep
our greatest resource, at home. Will
the South make the most of its opportunity?
Will it provide such ample educational
facilities that every potential leader in the
South will be able to satisfy his highest
ambitions for training for the ever-increasing
complexity of business life without
leaving his native state? No other question
is so vital to the fullest development
of the South's great natural advantages
or to the fullest participation therein by
the people of the South.
The question that citizens must answer
positively and immediately is whether this j this
development shall be directed by the
minds and hands of Alabama men or whether
leadership shall come from elsewhere.
In my judgment, that is the most momentous
and compelling question confronting
the state of Alabama today. The answer
will be made in terms of the educational
facilities Alabama provides for its sons
and daughters! There is no other answer."

the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, in his
address at the dedication exercises of the

(Special to the Plainsman)
I .read in the last issue of this' paper
the Iitreal missil which my assailant hurled
at me personally, suposedly, with the hope
of evading or disguising his original policy
of making Auburn a seaport town for the
inspiration of poets. Such an article demand
some comment, but in my remarks
I shall not stoop'so low as to attack my
opponent's character. Besides, this is a
discussion of principles, a fact which my
opponent seems to forget.
Fellow citizens, if this man is such a
martyr to this cause, as he would have you
believe, without even so much as mentioning
it in his article; it is surprising
why he does not chain himself in a dungeon
and perish from hunger. Gentlemen,
you cannot, by tying an opinion to a man's
tongue, make him the representative of
that opinion; at the close of any battle for
principles, his name will be found neither
among the dead nor among the wounded,
but among the missing.~~ This opinion was,
without doubt, tied to this man's tongue,
else there would not have been an utter
lack of initiative in bringing it to the
front in his article. Instead, his conceit j
and thirst for notoriety, prompted him,
through a misguided sense of duty, to indulge
in an outburst of promiscous mud-slinging
entirely unworthy of a man who
has such a high rating in his own estimation.
I sincerely hope that my opponent
may not become so imbued with self, with
a hope of personal aggrandizement, so as j
to completely lose sight of the principle i
which he originally advocated and proposed
his election to Congress, namely: to
make Auburn a seaport town for the inspiration
of poets. It might be disastrous
when the ballot is cast, if he does.
In his first article he promised many
arguments in favor of the affirmative
side of the question, but I suppose he considered
his last article a rebuttal, in which
he was not allowed to introduce new
points. It is possible he his putting them
in book form as he mentioned.
Fellow citizens, I am for a "Greater Auburn,
first last and always, but I cannot
support any man for Congress whose
ideas are so impractical, impossible, and
preposterous as is> this man's. Neither do
I believe any other loyal Auburn citizen
will. I believe in progress on a practical
basis as is Opelika expanding, if you
please. But, in their progress you have
not seen any one who thought so superfi-cally
as to advocate the bringing of a
roaring surf within the limits of the fair
city for the inspiration of poets. If such
an idea, as my opponent advocates, were
possible if not practical, he might be justified
in championing it on the ground that
he" is a dreamer. However, since it is
neither possible nor practical, it is amus
ing why anyone should continue such shallow
thinking. I wish this man, with his
vast influence, could be persuaded to
come out in favor of some truly progressive
program for our town. What an a>
set he would be. It is said that wise men
sometimes change their minds, but fools
never do. Let us hope that the gentle
man is no fool.
However, if the gentleman should continue
his way of thinking, and should rise
in public opinion, as an advocate of this
idea, as he has risen in his own opinion;
before many moons this fair village would
be pillaged and ravaged, in the twentieth
century, by his supporters and himself,
just as the Roman empire was by the barbarians
of the fifth century, with this difference,
that the devastators of the Roman
empire, the Huns and Vandals, came
from abroad, while our barbarians will be
the natives of our own country, and the
products of our own institution. Fellow
citizens this must not be allowed.
(Signed) AN AUBURN CITIZEN
With the return of the students from
fair city of Montgomery we are receiving
many and varied tales of the experiences
that they went through. To hear some of
them talk you would think that the whole
city of Montgomery turned out en-mass
for the sole purpose of welcoming them.
However it is/a fact that a bunch of college
boys can have 'more concentrated experiences
, in a few short hours than many
people have in a lifetime. It must be that
when they leave the sheltering walls of
Alma Mater behind them they feel that
it is up to them to have as good a time
as possible in the short time at their disposal,
and act accordingly. Whether or
not there is any foundation for this feeling
we cannot say, but it seems to us
that it is the wrong way in which to look
at things. True you can not have as exciting
a time in this dashing metropolis
that you can have in one of greater size,
but why feel that it is the presence of
your Alma Mater that is preventing you
from expressing yourself. When you go
to a large city you naturally set about
having a good time because there is more
opportunity for a good time, but you
should never forget that the sprit of the
Alma Mater, exemplified in friends and
Alumni, is always about you. 5b have
your good time but dont say that you are
doing it in spite Of your college, but
rather with the help of your college.
is all in the way of thinking.

A new system seems to be prevalent
among the Civil classes of late. The other
afternoon the class was divided and
part taken out to do some field,work. The
catch in it was that those who were left
behind were marked absent. Maybe that
is the reason that the Civils are wearing
such long faces these last few days.
From the looks of some of these fresh-man's
English papers, especially from
Selma, this must be the dialogue that they
use in the city of Selma:
Him have gone.
Him have went.
Him have left I all alone.
Us cannot went to he.
- Him cannot went to we.
Ah, crool woild—
How can it was?
Some one diagnosed the meaning of the
word Laudenschlager and in German it
means "hard hitter." In several places it
seems to fit nicely.

But to come back to the physical marvels
that accompany such an excursion as
that to Montgomery last week. With our
own eyes we saw expeditions put forth on
the most ramshackle, run down, cut off,
hammered in, bust up and generally demoralized,
automobiles that could ever exist
in the imagination of the most versatile
persons. Were we sane we would never
think of entering such a vehicle; but who
can be sane when that old team is going
in to fight and win for the school. Who
can be sane when they are all het up over
the pep meetings and they JUST HAVE
TO GO. So the long one and the short
! ones climbed into those delapidated pieces
of tin, and WENT, and CAME BACK. If
there is a providence that watches over
drunk people there surely is a special providences
that watches over those students
who go to the games on one tin can less
than nothing. S' wonderful, Sn marveleous.
A couple or more weeks ago Rat Mc-
Clung thought that he-did a clever bit
of acting and had gotten by with it fine.
The truth of the matter is that there is
-s~.p_Q_s£ihijity of the Student Council now
being at worlt on this act and that, they
will report on RNn within a short time.
They only want to stkve off the necessity
of letting his people know any sooner
than can be helped. X

Some one bought some grass sccds~thc-other
day so that they could help in the
beautifying of Auburn. Unfortunately
some one swiped them though so that they
could determine the pro or con of a
wager. Whether or not they would sprout
overnight if sprinkled around R. D. Deans
head and ears after he had gone to sleep.
Coming down to earth for a few moments
and even going a few feet beneath
it, what is the use of taking a perfectly
good football team out on the field and
diligently teaching them to swim through
four quarters of a game and then bringing
them home to a place where we have no
swimming tank. Spang, in the Montgomery
Advertiser, advocated a submarine squadron
after last Saturdays game, but we
think that it would be more appropriate
to develope a crack swimming team. With
the substitution of water for mud we would
have -all the elements of the game and of
a water polo match. How interesting to
have Turner swim over center for ten
gallons.
The other night at the meeting of a
Literary society one, Rat Fegan by name,
made a very interesting talk on the subject
of love. The only trouble is that
since that fatal night he has been burdened
with numerous-requests, from the girls
domitory to come down and act as bell
hop, waiter or to serve in any capacity
that will keep him in the mear vicinity of
the Zoo because any one so well versed
should be given the opportunities that he
deserved.
This last week the photography, industry
has been commercialized by L. P. White.
The only trouble is that he can not fill
all the orders that he has on his hands.

will make an appointment for you to see

Still another reminiscence of the game
comes to our mind. Who was that little
fellow who tried to squeeze into our room
at about three A. M. Poor little thing, he
did so want to have a place to sleep, it
wrs a shame that he was treated so roughly,
but you seetalthough 1 said our room
(in the possessive sense) it was already
being used by some twenty five associate
'ours' and there simply was not room for
another air consumer. I hope that his
parents observe this because we feel sure
that they will understand. However we
offer our sincerest regrets to the breaved
and only hope that they will instruct their
younger son that when he sees a sign on
the door of a room in a hotel occupied by
a crowd of college boys which says "keep
out," that it means "KEEP OUT". It
would save a lot of messiness.
What about those poor unfortunates who
stayed in Auburn and did not go to the
game last week. We know the feeling
for we were here. Was there ever such a
doleful town as Auburn with the rain
pouring down and not a soul to bull with.
Taking our own experiences as somewhat
typical here is what might be considered
as a program of enjoyment during that
period. Rise anywhere from ten to twelve
A. M. If rising before twelve sit around
the fire till dinner time. If rising after
twelve dress quickly and rush through the
rain to eat a frugal dinner alone. Much I
enjoyment. Come back from dinner and j
sit before the fire. Look out the window
and speculate as to whether it will be wet
enough to hinder the opposing team, and
not ours, or it will hinder ours and not
theirs. Give up the question in despair and
go to the matinee. Leave matinee with
a cheer on your lips but several inches
of very black and despairing gloom around
about. Come back and sit in front of fire.
Decide to study, and go to room to do so,

FRESHMEN RENDER
PROGRAM AT EVANS
A great interest is being taken in
the Evans Society now which was
proven by the fact that about seventy
were present Monday night, while
we have been having an attendance
of only about forty. The regular
meeting of the society will be held
next Monday night, and a joint meeting
of the four societies will be held
Tuesday' evening.

Dr. Yarbrongh stated that he has
always tried to meet any national
emergency when the occasion arises.
"The navy W "always been the pride
of the American people and has~beetr'
immortalized by song and story. Some
people criticize the strong navy and
say it is an instrument of war but
history shown that the n j ' ^that is
most prepared has less wars. Our
navy acts as an external police force
always ready for internal and exterial
duty. When civilization advances to
the point that the various nations
will hold no malice for each other
then the navy can b'e dispensed with,
but until this time our navy must
be held steadfast. Washington and
Roosevelt said that it was very essential
that we always maintain a
strong navy. The navy flys our colors
on the seven seas and guards the
security of all the American citizens.
This country has always been
against a strong army and this makes
it more necessary for us to have a
strong navy to always insure our protection
and heritage." —
One of the most enjoyable programs
that the Evans Literary society
has had was rendered at their
regular meeting last Monday night,
Nov. 2. The program, which was
rendered entirely by the Freshmen,
showed that a lot of work had been
done in preparing their parts, and
that we have some new material that
has some real oritorical ability. The
program consisted of the following
numbers: "A discussion on the Es-'
sayist, Jonathan Swift"—By A. L.
Smith; "At Locarno"—By J. A. Red-dock;
"The Shipping Board Defies
the President"—By C. P. Loomis; 'several songs.
"Wilbur Should Resign "—By R. Q, The program next
Shepperd. After the regular program
we'had several impromptu speeches
by the Rats, and one of them read
a poem which was written by one of
jthe Evans members, Mr. Vickery, on
the football game with Tulane last
Saturday.

In an isolated region, almost inaccessible
in winter, this 6500 h.p. hydro-electric
plant located on the Deerfield River in New
England, starts, protects, and stops itself.
A Self-Starting Power Plant
The General Electric Company
has developed generating and
transmitting equipment step
by step with the demand for
electric power. Alreadyelcctric.-
ity at 220,000 voits is trans"-
mitted over a distance of 270
miles. And G-E engineers, ever
l o o k i n g forward, are now
experimenting with voltages
exceeding a million.
A new series of G-E advertisements
showing what electricity
is doing in many fields will be
sent on request. Ask for
booklet GEK-1. .
Dawn—the slumbering city awakens and calls for
electric current. Many miles away the call is
answered. A penstock opens automatically, releasing
impounded waters; a water-turbine goes to
work, driving a generator; and electric current is
soon flowing through wires over the many miles to
the city. This plant starts and runs itself.
Power plants with automatic control are, now
installed on isolated mountain streams. Starting
and stopping, generating to a set capacity, shutting
down for hot bearings and windings, gauging
available water supply, they run themselves' with
uncanny precision.
Thus another milestone has been reached in the
generation of electric power. And with present-day
achievements in power transmission, electricity
generated anywhere may be applied everywhere.
The non-technical graduate need not know "where
electricity comes from—nor even how it works.
But he should know what electricity can do for
him no matter what vocation he selects.

PROFESSOR HIX0N
SPEAKST0A.S.M.E.
The A. S. M. E. had its, regular
meeting on Wednesday night, November
4th, at 7 P. M. in the Brown
pgineering Hall. New members
re voted upon and admitted. It
vas also decided to meet next time,
v-hich will be November 18th, in the
[Erskin Ramsay Engineering Building
room number 109, Professor Hixon's
class room. -
The speaker of the evening was
Professor Hixon^ He chose for his
discussion the manufacture of por-celin
insulators and window glass.
The manufacture of porcelain insulators
was according to observat
i o n s made by Professor Hixon in the
Westinghouse Plant this past summer.
The ingredients of the insulators
are China clay. Ball clay, felspar, and
flint. These ingredients are cleaned
by screening so as to make them as
free from local matter as possible.
After screening, the Ball clay is mixed
with water into a soupy fluid.
| This fluid is then strained and the
China clay is added. A slow, but
I lengthy stirring, then takes place, and
: later the flint and felspar are added.
jThe thorough mixing is made in or-
| der to produce a very homogenious
substance.
_
This material is then filtered and
| put into a "pug-well". This pug-i
well is a sausage grinder effect which
i turns out a cylindrical-shaped prb-
! duct having a diameter of the insu-j
lator desired. . Every effort is made
ito have the product thus produced
| as compact as possible. This cylin-
| der, having been turned out, is then
I allowed to ry for some 7 days,
' after which - it is turned in a lathe
I to the desired size and shape. The j
! insulators are then baked and glazed, j
N^xt comes the testing. The first
I test consists of stringing the insula-itors
end to end and then passing a
; relatively high currant thru them.
Some of the specimens crumple and
these are discarded. The remaining
good ones are then subjected to a
mechanical test of supporting heavy
loads. Again some of the insulators |
give way and they too are discarded.

A shower and current test is then
given in conjunction. This of course
is to ascertain if the insulators are
suitable for use in wet weather. Tt
is easy to see that the insulators
withstanding all of the tests are of
very good quality.
As was mentioned before Professor
Hixon also spoke on the manufacture
of window glass. He spoke
again from observations, this time in
the American Window Glass Plant.
The ingredients of the glass are
first heated to a very high temperature.
After so long a time at this
extreme heat, the ingredients are removed
in ladels to pots. A large
dasher, similar to a butter churn
dasher, is lowered into the charge.
The hot charge sticks to the dasher
and the dasher is then raised; a long
cylinder being formed. This cylinder
of glass is about 30 inches in
diameter and its length depends on
the charge in the pot.-
An electric wire is then used to out
the long cylinder into shofter desired
lengths. These short cylinders
are then cut longitudinally into three
or four arcs of the cylinder. These
arcs are then reheated and ironed
out smooth.
With the conclusion of Professor
Hixon's very educative talk, which
we all enjoyed, S. Dixon made a few
remarks relative to the fact that
some scratches, made by thoughtless
students, were present on the step
banisters of the new engineering
building. These remarks led to the
A. S. M. E. taking it upon itself to
start a movement to abolish this defacing
of our new property. We sincerely
hope the other societies, and
students too, will help in this move
to keep the building in its present
beautiful condition.
Dean Wilmore and Professor Gorman
were present and both expressed
their thanks that we took the action
on the above movement that
we did assume.
at her home on South Gay Street.
The house was decorated with Halloween
ornaments and with gorgeous
autumn leaves combined with yellow
marigolds and beautiful cereopsis.
There were gruesome black cats and
bats with witches riding their broom
sticks scattered over the walls which
completed the Halloween decorations
in the living room.
There were seven tables of bridge
making over thirty guests in all. The
first prize was won by Miss Dawson
and she was awarded an Italian
worked hem-stitched towel. The
consolation prize was given to Miss
Dana Gatchell and this was a hand
embroidered linen hankerchief.
A marshmallow-pineapple whip was
served with cake and tea at the close
of the afternoon.
Miss Emily Hare who lives on
South Gay Street is giving expression
lessons. Miss Hare still is at liberty
to take in a few more pupils.
The Y. W. C. A. has instituted a
series of Discussion Groups for the
purpose of discussing world prtfblems
and for broadening the vision of the
women on the understanding of current
political situations and the outlook
of the nation on the problem -of
World Peace.
The students at Auburn who are
members of the Y. W. C. A. see that
they must grasp the opportunity for
the betterment of their knowledge
ox national and international affairs.
They are now taking up a discussion
of the question of world peaee which
is coming before the Senate this fall.
The women of the missionary society
of the Methodist church are
holding a week of prayer this week
and they met for conference on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons.
On Monday the meeting was led by-
Mrs. W. A. Gardner and on Tuesday
by Mrs. M. J. Funchess, Wednesday
it was led by Mrs. Zae Wright. This
meeting concluded the series and was
to install into the attendants the idea
of the importance and usefulness of
prayer.
Mrs. Hull Cullais gave a silver tea
for the benefit of the building fund
of the Baptist church on Thursday
from three to three-thirty.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
HOLD JOINT MEETING
A very important feature of the
literary society work for the coming
year an event that should prove of
interest not only to the members of
the several societies but to every
student in college as well, will be in
the form of a joint program of the
Websterian, Writs, Evans and the
Wilsonian literary societies, which
will be given on Tuesday night, November
10.
The program will be in the nature
of an Armistice Day celebration'
and will deal with the various facts
leading upto the signing of the Arm-istic,
the part played by Woodrow
Wilson, the peace Conference and the
League of Nations, and the present
out look for the future world peace.

DRAMATIC CLUB HAS
A UNIQUE PROGRAM
The Dramatic club gave a most unique
program on last Monday. The
Meeting was turned over to Mr. H.
L. Hamilton who is the director and
he selected four of the students who
were to select casts and give impromptu
plays. i
There were two tragedys and two
comedies and each group was given
a cast of four students. The groups
were given ten minutes within which
time they were to conceive a plot
and situation and after which time
the actors were to go on the stage
and compose*their own lines to fit in
with the situation. The second tragedy
was judged the best of the impromptu
plays and was awarded the
cup which was one of broken blue
China.
This play was directed by Mr.
Brugham and the cast was made up plains, he is doing laboratory work I

Doctor Graham called attention to
the fact that Alabama's appropriation
for public health work in this state
is only eight cents per capita which
is three cents less per capita than
the amount spent throughout the
country. It was erroneously stated
that Alabama spends eleven cents

Doctor Graham also made the
statement that tuberculosis is the
leading cause of human and economic
waste as far as Alabama is concerned.
The economic loss due to preventive
diseases in Alabama as well

GUIDE TO FRESHMEN MAKING
TRIPS TO FOOTBALL GAMES
Continued from page one)
on the football, day, the lonesome
student can amuse himself by laying*
wagers with some friend concerning
the possibility of some given pedestrian
being able to cross the street
at a given point without being knocked
down and seriously damaged by
one of the passing autos or flivvers.
Besides being the site of the Auburn-
Georgia game, Columbus is also
noted for being near Fort Ben-ning.
There 'are more generals to the
square inch at Fort Benning than
any other place in the world with the
exception of Honduras. Fort Benning
is the home of Lieut, or Col. or
Gen. or Private or something George
Smith—he calls it Smythe—once
played for the Army at West Point,
and everytime Auburn went up there
he would become possessed with an
insane desire to grab the ball and
run for touchdown after touchdown,
and his desires were pretty well fulfilled,
too. If the student has time it
would be worth his while to go out"
and look over the man that beat Auburn
twice. No admission will be
charged, with children half-price.
Not to be out. done by Montgomery,
Columbus also has a concrete stadi-um.
It has been kept in cold storage
for some time, but the Columbians
are going to trot it out especially for
the com'ng game. It is a very big
and pretty stadium, and if all the
bags of concrete used in it were
stretched from end to end they would
reach from the State of Georgia to
the State of Sanctity, which would
be a very long ways indeed.
After the game has been played
the student will do well to come
home, lest he fall victim to the snares
and lures of Broad Street after dark.
The train will leave from the same
station in which it arrived, and will
leave about seven o'clock, weather-and
tide permitting. After riding for
about five minutes the Frosh will
observe that the climate has improved
considerably and the air has become
much more pure and invigorating.
He will then know that the
train has again crossed the Chatta-hoochie
River and that he is once
more in the State of Alabama.

TIGERS MEET BULLDOGS
IN ANNUAL SETTO
Continued from page one)
Tigers 18 to 17. Athletic relations
were continued between the institution
for twenty .years when the entry
of America in the war relegated
the sport to the rear for a duo of
seasons.
The dope bucket has fortold very
little for the past 10 games. No matter
what strength either aggregation
boasted it was never able to gain a
victory by more than one touchdown.
Last year "the Bulldog gained
gobs of yardage through the Tiger
wall and around the flanks, but was
never quite equal to the situation
when it became time to pierce the
coveted line, except on one occasion
which gave it the margin that has
decided a large percentage of the
games. Most of the critics conceded
the Georgians to have a far superior
team at that time, but all predictions
of run-away affairs go flooey when
two such ancient rivals mix matters.

CONFERENCES HELD TO
STUDY WORLD COURT
In twelve conferences held in various
parts of the country over the
last two week ends, students from
every type of college and university
studied the World Court. Plans for
campus investigation on the subject
were set up and the work is already
under way in a number of schools.
Approximately 450 of the keenest
students minds decided that the educational
campaign which is being
sponsored by the Council of Christian
Associations during the fall months
is a worthy enterprise and that they
will give their fullest cooperation.
The special World Court conferences
of the past week-end included
two in Nebraska, one in Oklahoma
City, one in Galesburg, 111., and one
in Sioux Falls, S. D. An .everage of
fifty students attended each of these
regional and state gatherings and
considered the World Court. During
the latter part of October and
the first half of November, between
thirty-five and fifty similar conferences
are planned in line with the
accelerated interest in international
affairs focusing on the opening of
the Senate debate on December 17,
During the first two weeks of De-cember_
a- national poll will be conducted
by the New Student and the
Council of Christian Associations'
World Court Committee which will
be the culmination of weeks of study
and discussion. In the poll, students
will express their approval or disapproval
of the entrance of the
United States into the Court.
This intensive series of meetings
has grown out of the resolutions
passed at the recent annual meeting

of the Council of Christian Associations
in which the student leaders
from campuses from all quarters of
the country expressed the belief that
the United States should enter the
World Court at the earliest possible
date. This conviction resulted from
a study of the situation as it existed
and was followed by a plan whereby
students all over the country may
have a chance to educate themselves
on the issue and to mobilize whatever
thought may result from the
study done on local campuses and
in conference.
The conviction that students should
take a continuous interest in things
international and that they should
exert a vital force in shaping of
policies led to the purpose that the
intensive educational c a m p a i gn
should be only the first step toward
the continuous influence of an intel-ligen
and. active student^ opinion on
all matters of international concern.
Raymond Posdick, Ivy L. Lee, Irving
Fisher, Manley Hudson, and Ex-
Governor Sweet of Colorado are
among those interested in the stand
the student movement has taken on
the World Court issue, and are lecturing
and supplying expert help in
the regional and state conferences.
The full-time speakers for the campaign
include Kirby Page, Mrs. Laura
Puffer Morgan, Chairman of the
Women's National World Court Committee,
Alden Alley, Frederick Snyder,
J. Nevin Sayre and George
Collins.
Those who have observed the interest
springing up immediately among
students wherever World Court has
been mentioned attribute it the the
fact that this is the first great national
issue that has presented itself
since the presidential election and
that it carries a more vital interest
since the presidential election was
a more or less foregone conclusion.
Student interest is increased by the
fact that the outcome of the Senate
debate may result in definite and
far-reaching action on the part of
the United States government toward
the assumption of greater international
responsibility.
CHEMICAL ^SOCIETY
The Chemical Society held its regular
meeting on Wednesday, October
28, in the Main Building. Among
the business taken up at this meeting
was the proposition of bringing some
moving pictures of chemical operations
to Auburn for showing before
the members of the Society and others
who may be interested.
Mr. Pulley gave an interesting report
on a new thickener filter, and
Mr. Peters told a few yarns, chemical,
humourous and otherwise.
An invitation is extended to all
Chemical Engineering and Chemistry
and Metallurgy Students, who are
not allied with the Society to become
members. Our programs always contains
something of interest. The meeting

to the University of Illinois,
is an illustration of the fact that
every one is interested in religion,
and in the religious teacher if only
he has a real message. People are
tired of the hokum of religion; they
want something more than form and
theological technicalities; they would
like to know how to live.
"I know that ye seek Jesus," the
angel said to the two sorrowing women
who came to the sepulchre, and it
was the religion of this same Jesus
which Mr. Fosdick expounded to the
thousands- who came to listen at the
six talks he gave. .It was not curiosity
which drew young and old again
and again to hear Dr. Fosdick, though
their first coming might have been
influenced by a desire to see the man
whose ejection from one of the great
churches of the country has aroused
attention, but it was a real interest
in religion which finally brought
them.
Practically every prominent person
connected with the university
faculty was at the luncheon given

to Dr. Fosdick on his arrival on the
campus, and listened to his talk with
interest and profit. The religious
workers of the two towns were there
in a body—Jews, Catholics, Unitarians
and Protestants of all sects and
divisions, and they came back to
hear him again and again.
On his last appearance he was
greeted by a cosmopolitan audience
of students and faculty and townspeople,
five thousand of them crowded
closely into the great gymnasium
annex—'More than ever attended a
basket ball game," one young fellow
remarked to me, and undergraduates
are enthusiastic over basket ball at
the University of Illinois. People of
all walks of life and of all nationalities,
and all religious faiths were
there as well as those of no faith.
They came to have their faith developed
and strengthened and they went
away stimulated, encouraged, inspired
to a higher life. I have heard the
great religious leaders who have addressed
the student body during the
last thirty-five years; I have heard no
one else who has left so deep and lasting
an impression. They are talking
about him still, and they will be
thinking about the truths he illustrated
for a long time to come. If
only there were more people like him,,
in all the churches, the cause
Christ would be furthered.

"It is safe to say that failure to guide and direct study is
the weak point in the whole educational machine. Prof. G. M.
Whipple, U. of Michigan.
"The successful men in college do not seem to be very happy.
Most of them, especially the athletes are overworked." Prof.
H. S. Canby, Yale.
"Misdirected labor, though honest and well intentioned may
lead to naught. Among the most important things for the
student to learn is how to study. Without knowledge of this his
labor may be largely in vain." Prof. G. F. Swain, M. I. T.
"To students who have never learnt "How to Study." work
is very often a chastisement, a flagellation, and an insuperable
obstacle to contentment" Prof A. Inglis, Harvard.
"HOW TO STUDY" will show you how to avoid all u n directed
effort.
