Auburn to be Represented
At Southern Exposition
To be Held in New York
May 11-23
A. P. COMPANY GIVES 500
SQUARE FEET
Auburn will be represented with
an exhibit at the Southern Expo­sition
in New York City May 11 to
23. The Alabama Power Company
has paid for five hundred square
feet of space on the exhibition
grounds and has placed this space
at Auburn's disposal. The various
departments of the college will be
included in the exhibits.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company bought a simi­lar
amount of space and placed it
at the disposal of the University
of Alabama. In the University's
exhibit will be a display of the
minerals secured from the natural
resources of the state of Alabama.
The Alabama Committee in charge
at the Exhibition requested that
minerals be included in the Uni­versity's
display, and Agricultural
products in Auburn's display, how­ever
the exhibits are not to be con­fined
to these thinge alone.
L. T ! Wells, of the Experiment
StatioaJhas been assigned the duty
of gettuT^lF^d exhibits arranged
and the work is being facilitated
so as to have them ready to leave
here on the twenty-fifth. They
will be sent to Birmingham and
go with other exhibits from Ala­bama
and shipped through in a
carlot so as to reach New York in
ample time for the Exposition.
Photos and Ag. exhibits showing
the work being done in the college
will accompany the Auburn exhib­it.
Model farm buildings with all
electric connections as displayed
in Montgomery last fall will also
be shipped.

Alpha Phi Epsilon Holds
Initiation and Banquet
The semi-annual banquet of the
Alpha Phi Epsilon Literary Frater­nity
was held at the Tea Room last
Monday night. The position of
toastmaster was very effectively
held by W. L. Randolph. After the
informal part of the initiation, very
interesting talks were given by Prof.
J. R. Rutland, the oldest member of
Beta Chapter, and Miss Zoe Dobbs.
Prof. Rutland, in his talk, gave
quite an interesting history of Au­burn.
After the talks, the formal
part of the initiation was conducted
by W. A. Young.
The initiates were O. F. Wise, F.
L. Brown, W. E. Hooper, S. H.
Lynne, F. S. Arant, and L. L. AI-dridge.
Wirt Literary Society
The Wirt Literary Society held its
weekly meeting last Tuesnay even­ing
in the Wirt Hall. After the us­ual
preliminaries the program was
as follows: "Should America Study
Foreign Affairs?" by C. C. Richard
son; "Japan's War Preparations" by
H. J. Kinzer; "The Need of Elec­tricity
on the Farm", by F. L. Gar­rett,
and "Better Cattle and Fawnf
in the Near East", by^M. T. <Jo» asr.
After the program there was a lively
discussion on the approach'ag de­bate.
•I have seen Babe Ruth knock a
home run and I've seen Auburn
make a touchdown against the army
and I got a whale of a kick out o£
it, but I never got a real kiek o*ut of
life until i went over the top for
God", said Morgan Blake, sports ed­itor
of the Atlanta Journal, in a re­cent
talk at convocation. Mr. Blak:
better known to his readers as John
J. Duibb, is one of the most popular
writers of his kind in the south. He
is well acquainted with college men,
likes the things that they like, and
has a wonderful appeal to the bet­ter
man. Since his decision to live
a Christian life he has been talking
to college men on the serious side of
life.
The first part of his talk was of a
rather humorous nature. He refer­red
to himself as a newspaper man
whom, he said, was one of the three
classes of animals namely; wild an­imals,
human beings and newspaper­men.
Some of his poetry took the
house by storm.
In the more serious part of his
talk he referred to life as a foot­ball
game. Reference was made to
the sins of dissipation, greed and
selfishness as the fierce tacklers that
were in the path of the player of
life as he went down the gridiron.
For interference he has some good
woman, his mother, his friends and
God.
The entire talk was delivered with
much earnestness and force and it
is believed that Mr. Blake made as
great an impression on his aUdiencu
as any speaker that has ever ad­dressed
the student body.

For 6th Consecutive Time
Prof. L. N. Duncan and
P.O. Davis to Make
Trip to Florida
L. N. Duncan, director of the
Experiment Station and P. O. Dav­is,
Agricultural Editor, will leave
within the next few days for Flori­da,
with the view of conferring
with orange growers of that state
regarding their system of han­dling
supplies. The Florida
method has proven to be highly sat­isfactory
and they are going to vis­it
the University of Florida and
Tampa and, if favorably impressed
with the Florida method, will in­augurate
a trial in Alabama.
"A" Club Scholarship
Drive to begin April 23
The "A" Club scholarship drive
will begin Thursday April 23rd. It
will be somewhat similar to the
drive for band uniforms last year.
The goal is to raise enough manev
to offer four scholarships to worthy
athletes.
As an expression of their appre­ciation
of the help given this fund
by subscribers, the Club will stage
one of the best minstrels ever seen
in Auburn. The minstrel include*
"Jhe'-pick of student talent. Two
performances will be given on the
night of the twenty-eighth of April.
Every class is expected to back this
drive one hundred per cent.
Lieut- Col. Lewis Brown, Caval­ry,
and Captain V. A. Prichard,.
6th F. A. arrived in the Village on
Sunday evening to give the Au­burn
Reserve Officers Training
corps its annual inspection. These
officers hail from the Headquart­ers
of the Fourth Corps Area of
which the Auburn R. 0. T. C.
is a member.
Tile officers spent Monday and
Tuesday inspecting various phases
of the R. O. T. C. work. Regular
classes were shifted to these two
days in order to give them a chance
to see all phases of the work. Au­burn
rallied to the cause as usual
and put up their best form and
although it may not get Distinguish­ed
College, it can be safely said
that it made a big try.
Auburn has won the honor of
being among the few colleges rat­ing
Distinguished College for five
successive years, its success being
due to the interest taken in the or­ganization
by the Officers station­ed
here and by the students.
No announcement will be made
as to the winners until the inspec­ting
officers have visited all col­leges
in this Corps Area and rated
them Th~fheir'pfbper order.

Tuesday evening. The organization
has renewed interest in its purpose
this year and has been holding re*
ular weekly meetings. The institute
is national in scope and its mem-berb
are composed of the most not­ed
electrical engineers in America.
"Doc" Glenn was toastmaster for
the occasion, adding much wit and
humor to his introductions and re­marks.
The speakers included the
officers of the organization, facuLy
members and other impromptu
talks. The main talk of the
evening was that of Dr. Dowell,
who psoke about the relations of the
engineer to other phases of educa
tion. He stated that the electrical
engineers from Auburn will per­haps
bring more publicity to tho
college than the members of any
other course.
The organization will hold a
meeting for the election of officers
for the ensuing year at an early
date.
Prof. Robinson Speaks

see so many come out and take an
interest in this work.
Major Hatch will be the speaker
on Sunday, April 19. The officers
of the class take this opportunity to
cordially invite all who wish to be
benefited by a good lecture. We need

a special study of the experi­ments
now in progress ana to get
lniormanon obtained from past ex­periments
to put in practice on their
farms. The visiting tanners come
in automobiles and spend an entire
day gathering information pertain­ing
to some specific experiment car­ried

experiment stations. Each time the
college is host o the farmers and
they are entertained at the stu­dents'
club.
The carrying on of these studies
is sponsored by the extension de­partment

experiment station officials assisted
by the county agents from the visit­ing
counties. The county agents
who work in coordination with the
college through the extension de­partment
accompany the delegations
from their respective counties.
The largest number of farmers
given instruction was on April 4,
when representatives from Macon,
Lee and Chambers counties were
here. Three hundred and sixty
farmers, in addition to the county
workers were present on that date.
A few days later three hundred
people were entertained from Coosa
and Tallapoosa counties. The larg­est
single delegation was from Ran­dolph
county last Saturday, when
visitors numbering 276 came in
57 automobiles and three school

A Correction
Permit us to make the following
correction: Last issue of this pap­er
contained an article on the A. S.
M. E. election, in which it was stated
that Mr. Burgoyne was elected vice-president.
This was an error, it
should have been Mr. George Law-son,
vice-president of the A. S. M. E.
for the next year.
Gazing at one's self in the mir­ror
is by no means an indication of
vanity. In many cases, it is humor.
—The Davidsonian.
The beautiful green hollow of tne
agricultural campus was the scene
of an elaborate affair Wednesday af­ternoon
when the gorgeous revue,
"The Home Beautiful", was pre­sented
by the Home Economics De­partment
of the Woman's Chub, un
der the direct supervision of Miss
Dana Gatchell. This effective and
unique revue was written and direc
ted entirely by Miss Gatchell herself.
A large throne was placed upon
the sloping green hillside and it
was before this throne that the
many different agents of the happy
home came in their gorgeous, vari­colored
costumes to worship and
greet the spirit of the home. An ad­vance
welcome to the spirit was giv­en
by Miss Music, Mrs. T. J. Jack­son,
and her notes, Effie Jones,
Charline Baughman, Catherine Hare
Lena Moss, Louise Carter, Jane Yar.

Bose, Dorothy Taylor, Maryline Cau
then, Elizalbeth Rainey, Clara El­len
Yarbrough, Elizabeth Young.
Anna Penn, RUiby Russel, Lucile
Totty, Lillian Dunn, Marie Dawson,
Eieanor Carlson and Alberta Proc­tor.
The attractive costumes were
of black and dark green. Dainty
hats, of music note shape, adorned
the heads and peeped thru the music
staff as they sang the welcoming
song.
Then came the Spirit of Home,
represented by Miss Jennie Mcin­tosh,
who wore white satin and had
a garland of white sweet peas
around her fair hair. Her train was
a wonderful one of pink and white
tissue rose petals and the effect was
altogether beautiful. The train was
carried by the pages, Louise Grant,
Marjorie King, Dorothy McLeod,
Suzelle Hare, Dorothy Fughum and
Margaret Edwards, who were dress­ed
as little roses. The pink rose
heralds who marched in front of the
spirit were Mellie Hatch, Francis
Wright, Gene Funchess, Sue Ful-ghum,
Julia Wiatt and Mary Lam­ar.
Miss Eleanor Buckalew, of Mont­gomery,
was Miss Health and cams
dancing in with her health fairies,
Bobble Thomas, Emily Hixon, Pai-sie
Boyd, Netta Trapp, Emima Par-rish,
Dorothy Holmes, Annie Butler,
Hazel Avery, Frances Ingram an<i

a beautiful interpretative dance and
then brought into the home Miss
Happiness, who was represented by
Miss Martha Goodwin Beasley, of
Montgomery, and the little happy
sprights, Huda Rutland, Margaret

R.. O. T. C. INSPECTION
The local R. O. T. C. unit receiv­ed
a very thorough inspection by the
inspecting officers of the fourth
corps area last Monday and Tues­day.
The inspection was for the
purpose of determining whether or
not Auburn should be rated as a
distinguish ad college for the sixth
time.
Auburn feels proud of the fact
she has the distinction of this
King for five years in that, with
JM exception of Citadel Military
Icollege, she is the only college In
the south that has been designated
as distinguished for as much as five
years.
Of course there Is no way of
knowing just what Impression the
Auburn unit made on the inspectors
but to local observers the inspection
was carried out much better than
in previous years. The boys sure
did their best for their Alma Mater
It takes the old Auburn spirit to put
such things across and that is one
thing that is in abundance when the
reputation of the institution is at
stake. Major .Hatch, with his staff
of officers, is to be congratulated
on the fine work that they have
been doing in an effort to make Au­burn
first in military circles. To the
members of the B. O. T. C. unit goes
the praise for the fine manner in
which they conducted themselves
during the inspection.
We realize that the competition
for distinguished college grows
stronger each year but we believe
that Auburn is equal to the occa
sion.

In this column, an attempt will
be made to interview prominent
students, professors, etc., upon
some current campus question,
which concerns directly or indi­rectly
every Auburn man. Their
opinions will be asked upon this
question with the underderstand-ing
that it is merely the speaker's
opinion, and his name will be with­held.
The opinions are to be pub­lished
with no regard to the writ­er's
idea, whatsoever.
The first question to be discus­sed
in this column is, what do
you think of the Honor System in
it's present form; if you do not
think it is adequate instrument in
its present form, what suggestions
have you to offer?
Sallying forth upon this quest
for opinions galore, ye reporter en­countered
a professor who is
known all over the campus for his
lovable qualities of fairness in
dealing with the students. Upon
asked the above question, he re­plied;
"I think it is a pity to call
it an Honor System, the name it­self
antagonizes many students. A
more adequate name would be self-respect,
with the idea that it is
something without which a man
cannot live. There is a feeling
that the present Honor System is
enforced; upon entering Auburn
every man has to sign a pledge to
abide by this system. Naturally,
some object, looking upon the mat­ter
in this light: we did not create
this, and we should not be forc­ed
to abide by it. As to suggestions
for improving it, I believe that if,
at the end of each quiz, exam,
home work, etc., a pledge that the
student has neither received nor
given aid, must be signed, this
would do more to abolish so much
cheating, because in most cases
cheating is an unconscious act,
while if the pledge is signed, it
will be a conscious act, something
that the student must think of be*
fore committing. Alternating seats
would cut the temptation to cheat
in half, because in the present
crowed exams, all that is needed
to cheat is to glance to your right
or left, and easily see another pap­er.
As to the Honor Committee, I
think that it should be left up to
the head of the department as to
whether a man should be sent be­fore
the Honor Committee, espec­ially
so in the case of Freshman.
I have found that a good talk does
more good for A Freshman . than
shipping. I have had some ex­periences
that have led me to be­lieve
that the head of the depart­ment,
knowing the students inti­mately,
should decide whether the
case should be sent to the Honor
Cofmittee, and that punishment
should vary as to the seriousness
of the offence." Summing it up, he
said, " get self respect into the
heads of the students and we will
have a successful Honor System
whether we call it by that name or
not.
Leaving this Professor, a very
popular dean was seen and prompt­ly
asked the same question. His
views in some cases coincided
with those of the Professor, espec­ially
so in the case of Self-reliance
and self-respect. He attributed the
abundance of cheating to two rea­sons
lack of self-reliance or as it
has been called fear; and the lack
of true sportsmanship or the will­ingness
to take one's medicine.
As to why the Honor System does
not work, he confessed that it was
above and beyond him.
Coming across the canipns I met
a student, who is very prominent
in student activities, having attain­ed
numerous honor societies, be­ing
somewhat an athlete: He ad­mitted
readily that a change was
needed in the present system. "One
of the weakest points in the Hon­or
System is the secrecy surround­ing
the proceedings of the com­mittee;
for instance, if a man is
shipped, it is hushed up, while if
it was known, it would show the
students that the Honor System
still exists, and it will create a
fear of punishment, which might
I
work since all appeals to honor
have failed. One of the purposes
of Capital punishment is to keep
others from committing crime,
and so the punishment by the Hon­or
System is to warn others. Get
50 percent of the students abiding
by the Honor System, and they
will wield enough influence to
make it a success. Then, too,
I do not believe that the punish­ment
for the first offense should
be shipping; for instance let the
credit in that subject in which the
student is found cheating be taken
from him and the student put on
probation, for the rest of the sem­ester.
Then for the second offen­ce,
ship the student, and do not
make this secret. Let the students
know that Auburn has an Honor
System that must be abided by."

Honor System at
Washington and Lee
There has grown up on the W. &
L. campus a method of buying and
selling which must be unique since
it seems to awaken such amazement
among the visitors. The "Co-op"
store in the Washington Building
has regular counters piled with
priced articles which every custo­mer
pockets Whatever articles he
selects, makes his own change out
of an open money-box. and departs,
without the intervention or even the
notice of a salesman. The day before
a recent "great game" with the Uni­versity
of Virginia some enterpris­ing
student placed hundreds of cel­luloid
lapel buttons with the college
colors on a table under a campus
tree, priced at twenty and thirty-five
cents, according to size, with an
open cigar box to afford, change and
hold the money. By night the box
was so overflowing with bills that
a passing professor placed a weight
on them to keep the pile from blow­ing
away. Over 300 emblems were
sold in this way without a salesman
in sight, and before dark the pile of
bills and coins on the lonely table
exceeded $125. At the same time the
following were noticed in a walk
thru the University building:
In the basement of the Doremus
Gymnasium was an immense box
of bagged peanuts with an open ci­gar-
box nearby to hold the money.
Near the stair landing of the largest
dormitory an open barrel of fancy
Winesap apples was found, with a
money-box resting on the apples,
and a card put up by the unknown
salesman stating that the price was
five cents apiece. Meanwhile, in one
of the corridors of the Graham Dor­mitory,
holding 116 students, might
be found every night in the lighted
open hall a well-stocked "midnight"
lunch table with money-box and
schedule of prices, but no visible
salesman. Itwas stated thajMhe.box
generally held fronj th^Je to five
dollars by morning.
The above are but a few concrete
examples of the honor-system in
actual operation. Perhaps other in­stitutions
may be even more suc­cessful
in realizing its full possibili­ties
as a character builder. Amid
the ebb and flow of incoming and
outgoing classes these methods and
customs illustrate the amazing dom­inance
of the atmosphere and tradi­tions
of a college campus, which are
often more permanent than its
buildings and always more power­ful
than its faculty regulations. They
illustrate also the non-sectionalism
of the so-called "Southern" Honor-
System and the gratifying prompt­ness
with which such an atmos­phere
and such traditions beget
trustworthiness among the future
leaders of the nation.
THE TINKERS
It was a stormy night in the Win- •
ter of 1935. The football rules com­mittee
was holding its annual meet­ing.
"Gentlemen," said the chairman,
"I regret to report that the game of
football has reached a state of per­fection."
Glum silence greeted his opening
words. "It is no longer necessary,"
he went on, "to tinker with the
rules." He was interrupted by
groans, hisses and catcalls.
"Nevertheless," he resumed, when
the turmult had ceased, "we shall
adopt a few new rules for old times
sake."
With a feeling of relief the com­mitteemen
adopted a couple new
rules for they were hopelessly ad­dicted
to the tinkering habit.
The earthquake at New York the
other night jolted a prominent Sen­ior
out of his bed. He awoke to find
his bed shaking, and as the door
was locked and the freshmen were
in bed, he put two and two togeth­er,
and decided that it must be an
earthquake. We are glad that he
didnt attribute the phenomenon to
the spirits. There are plenty ,of
nuts on the campus without adding
a Spiritualist to the list.—The Da-vidsonian,
Davidson College.

ALA. FARM OUTLOOK
GROWS BRIGHTER
A somewhat more optimistic out­look
for farm production in Alaba­ma
this year than last is shown in
the monthly crop report issued by F.
W. Gist, agricultural statistician, co­operating
with the Alabama Exten­sions
service and the Alabama De­partment
of agriculture. This report
refers to April 1 of this year and
comparisons ar^ made with the
same date last year.
The growing condition of wheat
this year is 83 per cent of normal,
compared with'70 per cent a yeat
ago. The acreage of wheat in Ala­bama
has fallen to an almost negli­gible
volume, nd the condition fig­ure
is of value only as a measuring
the better conditions for growing
crops which are disclosed..
The acreage growing to oats in
Alabama this year is estimated to
he 120 per cent of that growing last
year. Oats are grown here solely as
a 'feed supply, and are used to sup­plement
corn and hay. Just what
proportion will toe moved as hay de­pends
on conditions at harvest time.
The increased acreage of this year
was induced toy the shortage of corn
on most farms. The growing condi­tion
of the crop on April 1 was
found to toe 86 per cent of normal,
compared with only 6 Oper cent last
spring. Oats were heavily killed by
freezes during the preceding winter
while t h e past winter apparently has
brought no noticeable losses.
Irish potatoes last year did not
give very profitable yields for thi
early crop, and the acreage plant e J
this year Is estimated to toe only 88
per cent of that grown in 1924. The
growing condition this year is 86.
compared with 85 last spring, ani
the total production promises to b*
considerably short of last year.
(Pastures at present show a condi­tion
of 8'8 per cent of normal, com­pared
with 7 B per cent a year ago.
This also reelects advanced spring
weather and better gorwth of vege­tation
this spring. As a result cat-tie
how are in fair weight and rap­idly
approaching good flesh for
beef animals and full milk yield for
milk cows. About one per cent less
milk cows are giving milk now than
last month, but the average pec row
is better. iOn March 1 this year 55.8
per cent of milk cows were being
milked, while on April 1, 54.7 per
cent were in milk; the daily yield
per cow on March 1st was 1.41 gal­lons,
which on April 1 had advanced
to 1.46 gallons. On March 1 only
34 per cent 'were paying for their
keep.
Another marked indication of ad­vanced
spring weather is disclosed
in the condition of home gardens,
which on April 1 of this year wa3
85 per cent of normal as compared
with only 62 per cent on April 1 of
1924.
The condition of apples and peach
es also shows from four to nine
points better this spring.
Both the supply of and demand
for farm labor are somewhat more
pronounced this year, the supply
now being 85 per cent of the normal
against 80 last year, and the de­mand
being 9<5 against 90. The ra­tio
between the two, Which meas­ures
the real labor situation, is 90
this year compared with 89 las!,
year, indicating a slightly increased
available supply for this season.
This ratio materially rose during the
month of March this year, having
been only 87 on March 1, 1925.
Farm wages in Alabama average
$22 per month with board on April
1 this year, compared with $21 last
year, while for wages without board
there is no change, the average be­ing
$30 for both years. Day wages
with board are 10 cents higher this
spring, being $1.15 against $1.05.
Day wages without board average
$1.35 for both years. '
Figures for plowing and planting
will not be secured until May 1, but
it can be safely said that the present
season is well advanced beyond the
situation of a year ago. Fertilizer
tag sales reported by the state de­partment
are something over 100,-
000 tons more than last year, ani
reports indicate that farmers are
again using better grades and In
increased proportions.

Auburn Graduate Is
GivenHigh Recognition
Herman Nixon of the class of 1908,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has
received high recognition at the Io­wa
State College of Agriculture and
Mechanical Arts, Ames, Iowa, ac­cording
to information received by
Dean George Petrie, of the gradu­ate
school at Auburn.
Mr. Nixon, a member of the facul­ty
of history and government, at
Ames, has completed a thesis on the
"Populist Movement in Iowa" which
AUTAUGA, ELMORE
FARMERS VISIT

magna. He will also receive a pro­motion
in the division of history and
government.
Mr. Nixon's thesis included chap­ters
on the elements of discontent;
reform movements of the eighties;
rival alliances and the peoples par­ty;
monetary issues to the forefront;
silver and fusion vs. middle of the
road; decline and significance of
the movement.
Wednesday was set aside as farmer
day for the farm people of Autauga
and Elmore counties at the agricul­tural
college here, and 400 peopie
from these two counties were visit­ors
during the day. They made the
trip in 66 automobiles and spent
five hours going over the experiment
station, thru the buildings, and over
the college campus observing thi
many things which they saw and
collecting information which they
can use to advantage on their farms
and in their homes.
It was one of the largest, if not
the largest, crowds to visit the ag­ricultural
college here in one day.
Two weeks ago approximately the
same number came from three coun­ties,
Macon, Lee and Chambers.
The trip for Elmore county was
arranged by H. M. Lewis, county
agent, Miss Elizabeth Collings, home
demonstration agent, and Prof. J. J.
Williams, teacher of vocational ag­riculture
at the Wetumpka agricul­was
so highly regarded that it se­tural
school. That from Autauga
cured for the author the grade, a i c o u n t y w a s arranged by J. B. Mitch-ell,
county agent, and Miss Ruth
Dobyne, home demonstration agent.
The county farm bureau officials
j and members in each county took
an active part, the majority of the
party being farm bureau members.
In the absence of Prof. M. J.
Funehess, director of the experiment
station, W. O. Winston, district dem­onstration
agent for the Black Belt,
and Frank Boyd, extension agron
omist, took charge of both delega
tions when they arrived in Autourc.
Mr. Boyd conducted the party over
the experiment station during the
inspection of hairy vetch experi­ments,
explaining the objects of
each experiment and results obtain­ed
to date. Profs. J. G. Grimes, J
T. Williamson, C. L. Istoell and M
L. Nichols discussed experiments
and answered questions pertaining
to livestock, fruits and agricultural
engineering.
This party was unlike those which
hae come recently from other coun­ties
in that a larger number of wo­men
were present. They were con­ducted
thru the departments of in
terest to them by Miss Gladys Tap-pan,
district home demonstration
agent and faculty members concern­ed.
Upon arrial they assembled in the
auditorium of Comer Agricultural
Hall and were welcomed to Auburn
toy Dr. Spright Dowell, President.
Luncheon was sered in the students'
dining hall at the noon hour toy the
extension service. They returned
home in the afternoon.

But the whole team
doesn't play first base
To suppose that a baseball nine will all cover
just one position is as far from the truth as to
think that everyone in the electrical industry
is an engineer.
This field will always need trained engi­neers.
But with its great manufacturing, con­struction
and commercial activities, the
industry must have non-technical men too.
Since the industry is manned by many
types, the result of your work will depend a
good deal on the success with which you
team up. The qualities that win are not only
efficiency attained by the light of a study
lamp, but that all-pull-together spirit of the
athletic field.
This point of view may be useful to the
man who has wondered whether campus ac­tivities,
with all their striving and stern test­ing,
their setbacks and their triumphs, have
any counterpart in after life.

AUBURN REAGRDED
BEST ENGINEERING
COLLEGE IN SOUTH
That Auburn is regarded as the
best engineering college hi the
south by the leading teachers of en­gineering
in eastern colleges and
universities, was the declaration of
Prof. Li. Saidla, formerly of Aub­urn
and now a member of the fac­ulty
at New York University, New
York City.
Prof. Saidla, completing the pay­ment
of his pledge for the new
$300,000 engineering ibuilding,
which is nearing completion, quoted
engineering teachers whom he has
met in the east.
"Some of the leading engineering
teachers of the colleges here," Prof.
Saidla said, "have told me that they
regard' Auto urn as the beat engi­neering
college in the south. Also
my students tell me that Atiburn
men get the places of highest res­ponsibility
in the corporations
where they have met them. I mean
the best places that are open to
recent graduates."
Prof. Saidla, who was one of
Auburn's most popular and capable
faculty memlbers, is engaged in lec­turing
on contemporary literature
at New York University. He is
also pursuing advanced work at
Columbia and this summer will visit
England and France.

Inability to Hit in Pinch
Proves Costly
Xhe Baby Tigers made their ini­tial
appearance in their own back
yard against a fireign foe, and were
iorced to bow to the Teen frosh in a
piicners' duel, two to nothing. Tne
uattie raged for eight frames with
ueu'ner side being able to dent the
rubber. Tech's duo of tallies beins
sent over in the final stanza. No
man succeeded in reaching third
until K txb James reached the hoi
corner after socking out a double
in the eighth.
Potter, wlio did the slab duty for
the Tigers, had the opposition eat­ing
out of his hand during the first
eight rounds, the Bengal chuncker
naving been found for only two
bingles during this time. Wiggins
first up in the ninth, beat out a hit
to short. Camp then laid down a
bunt along the third base line. Ebo
James heaved wild over first base,
and the ball went into right field
Wiggins raced home on the throw
and Camp took third. Tech then
executed the hit and run system.
Crowley hit to third and was nailed
at first while Camp raced home on
the play. This sewed things up tor
the Little Tornado as the Tigera
were unable to do anything during
their half.
Moore, on the hill for the Tech
men, was stingy with hits, only five
safe swats rattling off Tiger bats.
Ten Plainsmen heard the third
strike called. The Atlantans wero
only able to connect four times
Wiggins arid/ Brewster got morn
than the lion's share with two
apiece.

Second Game
The Junior Yellow Jackets made
it two straight over Coach Newell's
charges by capturing Saturday's
tut, 7 to 3. Miles, the Tech hurl-er,
allowed the Tigers but half a
'dozen hits. During the first and
second innings six of the baby Ben­gals
remained on the sacks after the
final outs were made, the Tiger bats
being unable to connect with the
pill in the hour of greatest need.
The Atlantans started scoring in
the second frame, Wright, the right
gardener, poked a single into lefi.
Robbins, who followed him, slapped
the sphere out of the orchard into
deep center, and both men dented
the rubber.
The Jackets got three more chalk­ed
up in the third, and put the game
on ice. Wiggins started things by
beating out a hit. Camp was safe
when Sankey hobbled. Crowley
sent Wiggins and Camp home, and
trotted around the sacks himself af­ter
his four base smash to deep
left.
In the fifth Fobb James receive 1
a pass. Hitchcock dumped a Texas
leaguer into right field and James
stopped at third. Aiken skied to
left and the Tiger first Backer scored
after the catch. The Newellites tal­lied
again in the sixth when Bills
hit to center and came home on
Wood's double.
Ebb James furnished the las
Tiger tally when he doubled in tne
eighth, took third, and then stole
home.
Tech scored again in the fourth
and sixth. In the fifth Camp was
thrown out at the plate when the
Jacket center fielder attempted to
stretch his long drive to loft too a
homer.

Plainsmen Earn Even
Break With Illinois
Great Rally Wins Second Game of Twin Bill—Sitz
Fans Nine in Final Encounter
Despite the fact that they collec-ed
but six hits in the two games, the
Plainsmen split even in a twin bill
with the fast Illinois outfit, tne
scores being 0-3 and 3-2. Due to the
fact that Jupiter Pluvius reigned
supreme on Friday tne series was
played off in the form of a double
bill on the following day.
Leiiy Hughes assumed the mounu
duties in the initial encounter, and
pitched fine ball, but was forced to
oow to Kinderman by a 3 to 0
count. The pitching duel was real
ly closer than the score would ind!-
date, as errors figured largely in the
Illinois scoring. The Tigers were
helpless before the great box work
of Kinderman, who allowed but
two safeties. The effectiveness of
the Illini hurler is shown by the
fact that bUt two flies went to the
outfield.
A flying start was made by the
Northerners, who scored what prov­ed
to be the winning run in the ini­tial
frame. Worth led off with a
husky blow for two cushions and
took third on Faxton's death. The
Illini third saeker then counted
when Strong let one get by him.
Hughes then tightened up and retir­ed
the Bide.
The Illini added another in the
second frame when Margolis took
first on Hughes' misplay, went to
second on an infield out and scored
on a single. Ponting scored the fi­nal
counter in the fifth when
he singled, went to second on a
wild pitch and scored on Jordan's
hit.
Meanwhile the Tigers were able
to do little or nothing with Kinder-man.
Hughes and Maury both reach­ed
tmrd but were stranded Uere.
However, they turned in a good
fielding performance, Stewart's
work being of the sensational vari­ety.
A late rally took the second game
for the Tigers. After having gone
five innings without scoring the
Plainsmen cut loose with a great
spurt and tallied three times before
the side coUld be retired. Stewart
and Allen led off with singles, the
hot corner guardian going to third.
Wallis then beat out an infield hit,
scoring Stewart and sending Rough
Ed to second. Griffin forced Allen
at third and things began to look
really gloomy when Sheridan fan­ned.
However, Moulton came
through with an extremely timely
double, counting Griffin and Allen
Previous to the sixth, the visitors
had scored a pair of runs, thereby
making the rally entirely necessary.
Paxton douoled in the third and
scored on Kinderman's one-bagger.
This same Paxton led oft with a
walk in the fifth, went to second on
Allen's miscue and counted on a
single by Simonich.
Sitz pitched a great game for the
Tigers in the second contest, fan
ning nine men in the fiv6 innings in
which he worked. He had an ef­fective
crossfire and a deceptive
drop, which had the Illini men bnf-
Speaking Of Sports
The athletic endeavors of the
Auburn teams resulted in two wins
and three beatings. Which, tak­ing
everything into consideration,
was about as much as could be ex­pected.
An even break was earned by the
Varsity ball team, the victory com­ing
by means of a spirited rally in
the sixth, when the Tigers were
two runs behind. Auburn was
once noted for her ability to come
from behind, but such rallies have
been rare in years gone by. Here's
hoping that the good work is
kept up.
The Plainsmen won the second
game on four hits, and therefore
the team batting average took a
sudden drop. However a victory
is a victory, no matter how many
safeties are required to win.
Events of Note: In the practice
game last Tuesday between the
Rats and Varsity, our noted slug­ger,
Mr. Pluto Hines, Belted out a
long drive for the circuit. Hines
showed perfect form on his swing
and didn't look a bit surprised
when he hit the ball.
Incidentally the rats won, 9 to 6
although the Varsity had Hines, Aut-stin,
Sheridan, and Sitz to serve
'em up to the platter.
Potter pitched in real hard luck
last Friday, allowing but four hits,
none of which figured in the scor­ing.
A slight slip-up in the defen­se
in the ninth gave the Junior Jac­kets
a pair of runs, which proved
to be plenty, since Moore hurled
shut-out ball for Tech.
Except for the ninth inning the
Rats looked mighty good, and sev­eral
men on the team are due to
give the Varsity quite a run for
their money next year.
In the second game, however,
the rats did about everything that
they shouldn't do, and therefore
the Techsters walked away to a
fairly easy victory.
The other Auburn victory of the
week-end was scored by the track
team, who generally can be expect­ed
to turn such a trick.
While the Varsity was away last
week-end, disporting themselves on
the green sward of Cramton Bowl,
the Rats accomplishing the not dif­ficult
feat of dropping a pair of
games to the Tech Frosh. In the
first game they played like big
leaguers, with the exception of
one slip-up, while in the second af­fair
they showed about as much
bad baseball as could be shown in
one afternoon.
Georgia Tech was the victim this
time, although the Techsters had
a strong team and expected to send
the Tigers home dissappointed.
This ambition was not realized, as
the Auburnites won the most de­cisive
victory of several years.
To Pea Green, lank football ar­tist,
goes the honors of the after­noon,
the tall sprinter tying the
S. I. C. record in the 220, besides
placing second to Nelson in the
century.
The Tigers go to Atlanta again
this week to meet the cream of
the South in the Tech Relays. As
team scores are not counted, it will
be impossible for the Plainsmen to
earn a victory, but the indications
point to a large number of places
going to the Auburn runners.
How The Tigers
Are Batting
Although the recent series with
Illinois turned out in a fairly pleas­ing
way, the results were most dis­astrous
from a batting standpoint at
least. So chary were the visiting
pitchers with their hits, in fact that
the Tigers had to be content with
an even half-dozen in the two en­counters,
the team average dropping
like a barometer in the hurricane
season. Allen and Steen are in a
tie for the highest percentage
among the regulars, although Lefty
Hughes is the real leader by virtue
of his two-sacker in Saturday's
game.
Only five regulars bask serenely
above the .300 mark.

Glee Club at Troy
The Glee Club has just completed
a second successful trip of the year.
The success of the trip may be seen
by the impression given a writer for
a paper at Troy, Alabama, which is
given below.
Those who attended the Auburn
Glee Club and Orchestra last even­ing
at the City School witnesed the
best club performance that has been
in Troy this year. The theatre-go­ing
public finally had an opport­unity
of hearing a real glee club
after witnessing other attempts at
performing during the season. Nev­er
before has an entertainment
more completly pleased its audien­ce
than the Auburn Glee Club did
last evening.
Before continuing the story of
the performance it should be said
that congratulations should be of­fered
the Cosmopolitan Bible Class
for this splendid performance of­fered
to the Trojan public. It leads
by far all other entertainments of
the season.
Songs by members of the Glee
Club were more appreciative by the
audience than any others hereto­fore.
A better rounded selection
of voices have not been here be­fore.

of the programme.

iame the announcement that the
quartette would have no offerings
for the evenings because of the ab­sence
of one of the members, who

a little disappointed.
But the writer is just one among
many who are certainly glad the
absence of the quartette made'the
varsity nine of Auburn.

a piano duet by "Slick Moulton,

those boys had gotten half way
through with their number the host
of people in the balcony had left
their seats and were crowded
around the front. Moulton and

numbers that the audien­ce
heard during the evening, if not
the most entertaining. Talking
about spanking a piano Harry Snod-grass
wouldn't stand a chance

Orchestra. Never before has any
audience here been so completely
won as was the audience that Tom­my
Jones' Orchestra carried away
last evening. The way that bunch
jazzed up the house brought a
storm of applause again and again.

to be the feature of the last glee
club to perform here, and which
did not come, could not have been
near so good as the syncopators of

trip a few days ago. We found
eight open toilets, three open sewers
and almost everyone had an open
garbage can. This was found on
one street. On this trip the class
also found one place where millions
of flies are breeding. If this place
be left alone it will furnish enougn
flies for all Auburn.
Through cooperation of the peo­ple
of Auburn we can toe able to de­stroy
the flies. To have flies we
must have filth. So let's destroy
the breeding places now. The breed-ing
season in Alabama begins in
April. Therefore, right now is the
tim6 to destroy the breeding places.
Just think, one fly speck may con­tain
5,000 germs. Notwithstanding
the germs the speck may contain,
but the fly is covered with tiny
germs. The house fly carries slxij
different diseases, some of the most
important ones are; diphtheria, typ­hoid,
cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea,
consumption, hookworm, sore eyes.
"While destroying the breeding
places is the most important way to
get rid of flies, we can use other
ways, trapping, fly paper, swatting,
poisons; a good poison Is formalin.
Screening is very important to keep
flies out of houses. While screen­ing,
use wire 18 strands to the inch
so it will keep out flies and mosqui­toes
at the same time. Fly (killing
begins at home, so let's all cooper
ate and kill them. Flies cause over
half the deaths of children in Ala­bama.
This should mean something
to us. So let's all get busy and
clean-up and keep clean."

"There will be a debate between
the Wilsonian and the Evans Socie­ties
next Tuesday night", is the
announcement of the Wilsonian
president.
The question of the debate is: Re­solved,
That the negro exodUs to
the North is beneficial to the South.
The Wilsonian Society has the af­firmative
and the Evans Society tnc
Negative.
The tryouts for the debate were
G. B. Phillips, J. B. Sylvest, H. Win-gate,
and C. D. Greentree. The
judges were Prof. S. H. Gibbons, B.
E. Creel and O. F. Wise. Every
speaker showed that he had studied
the negro exodus question from all
sides. So many strong points were
brought out that, before the tryouts
were over, the majority present
were in the belief that the negro ex­odus
is beneficial to the south. The
judges, after a period of careful de­liberation,
decided upon C. D. Green-tree
as the first speaker and J. B
Sylvest as the second speaker to
represent the Wilsonians in the de­bate
next Tuesday.
Prof. Gibbons and Mr. Mullins
gave some thing points in favor of
the Negro Exodus which will be de­veloped
toy the representatives in the
debate.
Freshman Literary Society
Last Monday night the Freshman
Literary Society held its ^tfryouts for
the inter-society debating contest.
The subject was: Resolved, That
Northern Migration of Southern Ne­groes
is Beneficial to the South.
There were eight members who tried
out and the contest was conducted
in the form of two regular debates;
the best two speakers were picked
to represent th6 freshmen in the
semi-final debate between the
Freshman and Wilsonian societies,
to be held next Tuesday night at
seven o'clock. Room 301, Main
building. In the first debate in the
Freshman Society, Hurt and Car-gile
defended the af£irmitive while
Root and Miss Gibtos defended the
negative. In the second debate
Merriwether and Greentree defend­ed
the affirmitive and KurU and
Snyder the negative. Merriwether
and Kurtz were chosen as represen­tatives
and it is the society's opin­ion
that, through the excellence of
their speeches, they will prove a
combination that will be hard to
beat. All success and good luck to
them.
Everybody is urged to hear the
semi-final debate between the
Freshman and the Wilsonian Socie­ties
next Tuesday night. The Fresh­man
Society will not hold its regu­lar
meeting Monday night, but will
meet with the Wilsonian Tuesday
night. The winner of this semi-fi­nal
debate will debate with the win­ner
of the Wirt and Websterian
semi-final, some time during com­mencement
days. All the speakers
at the Freshman Society last Mon­day
night are to be commended and
it is a credit to the society that such
excellent speeches should be prepar­ed
on so short a notice. Such spir­it
as this is indeed heartening.
"What's the matter, little boy?
Why are you crying?"
"Mama has gone and drowned all
the little kittens."
"Dear me! That's too bad."
"Yep, she-boo-hoo-promised me I
could do it."
