and more. As the facilities of the col lege grow the more the graduates are going to do in the up-lift of the state industrially and agriculturally.
 "Auburns friends are satisfied with the quality of the minds the college is turn ing out. They are interested just now in the health of body and limb. Football takes care of a small contingent of the students who are fit for the sport Tn any college But what of the army of boys, some frail, some small, but all of them ineligible, by nature, to take part in football? The time has come when these shall have to be invited to exercise their bodies. With poor gymnastic facil- tics there is no invitation, there is no at- traction. With up-to-date, comfortable gymnasium, adequately fitted up, as is pro posed now for Auburn, there will bt revival of track athletics in the state The body will be cultivated and developed in tune with the mind. The necessity is upon us. Delay in building first-class gymnasium is poor policy
 It is proposed to have committees oi Auburn men in all the important points of the state to help Tom Bragg boost the gym The strongest sort of appeal will be made to the Orange and Blue spirit to get in behind the gym with a whoop. The time set for realizing the goal is June l, 1911. The committees will get in touch ultimately with every old | Auburn man in the state.

BODEKER BACK FROM
 TRIP TO AUGUSTA
Saw Opening of Great White Way in Atlanta and Says Crowds Were
 Admirably Handled

Chief of Police Bodeker returned yes terday afternoon with his family from Augusta, Ga, where he has been at the bedside of his mother for the past few days. The chief said that Mrs Bodeker was much better and no fear was felt for her recovery.
 The chief went to headquarters last night for a few minutes, but did not assume control on account of his weari- ness from the trip. He will be on duty as usual this morning and Capt. Martin E,sgan, who has been acting chief in his absence, will resign the control.
 The chief stated that he was in Att lanta on his return and witnessed the opening of the Great White Way. He stated that it was a tremendous crowd and was well handled.
 "Chief Jennings certainly deserves a compliment on the method and dispatch with which he handled the crowds that attended the opening of the Great White Way" said the chief last night. Tt seemed as if everyone in Atlanta was out and it was one of the largest throngs that I ever witnessed. It was handled ir a highly efficient manner by Chief Jennings men and l failed to hear. ot an accident or serious robbery. Atlanta is certainly a great city.
 "Everythng has gone smoothly durine my absence and affairs will be as usua when I assume control In the morning.

ANOTHER HOLIDAY
 THEFT REPORTED

Mrs Studio Foster. PHO Rose avenue, reported to the police yesterday that she haG been robbed of a very valuable card case and $2O in money while mak- ing a purchase in a local jewelry store. She stated that she laid the card case on the counter while examining some iewelry and a woman who was standing near walked off with 1t. She furnished a description of the woman.
 This is only one of number of similar cases that have been reported to the po- lice within the past few days and it Is requested of shoppers to be careful of crowds and do not leave money lying around loose.
 ''The holiday season is a favorite one for pickpockets and shoplifters," said Detective Hugh Fully last night, and shoppers would do well to be careful of their purses and pocketbooks. We have had 8 number of cases reported to us during the past few days and in nearly every case the theft was occasioned by carelessness. A little ordinary caution would prevent many of the losses that are reported"

GOOD GAIN SHOWN
 IN GAR SERVICE

During the month of November 75,- 2S2 cars were handled by the Alabama Car Service compared to 73,02S handled in the month of October gain is shown over October of 2254 cars. The service handled in November, 1909, Ill., POS cars over which gain of 4o74 cars is shown in comparison.
 The report is one of the best that has been made for several months and compares favorably with almost any month in recent years.
 Tbe tabulation of the car service in dicates the rapid advances in railroad opera tion in the Birmingham district and emphasizes rapid return of those busy days of 1906. The report for No- vember, which Is the eleventh month of the year, shows that during the year great gain has been made over 1909.
 A total of 765,39G cars has been han dled this year as compared to 636,S97 handled in 1909 for II months.
 The increase of cars handled this year compares favorably with several years past in local railroading and has caused wave of optimism to prevail in railroad circles. The reports, month by month, for 1909 and 1910 fol-

Montgomery, December 20.-(Special)- When Tom Bragg, the retiring athletic manager of Auburn, left this city on his return to the college town after con- ference with President Charles L. Har- old of the Auburn Alumni association, former President E. B. Joseph, President w. M Williams of the Montgomery alumni, plans for the Auburn gymnasium campaign had been formed, a campaign that promises to be the most vigorous ever undertaken by the representatives of Orange and Blue.
 The first announcements concerning the new $25ooo gymnasium have met with quick response among the alumni and friends of the Polytechnic institute. The athletic pride of Auburn had been aroused to the highest pitch by the achievement of the Orange and Blue football clever that pulled off a most difficult sched- ule the past season without allowing . single eleven to cross their goal linC among the members of the S. l. A. A Now it is prosposed to cap off the pig Bkin triumphs with building new gym nasium which will shelter and afford comforts and delights to the warning athletes.
 MT Harold said today that the eXecu- tive committee of the Auburn alumni had selected Tom Bragg as the active campaign manager to raise the gym Fund of S25,000. MT. Bragg's selection IS regarded by MT. Harold and the execu- tive committee as a good one because of his hustling ability and his large ncouaintance with Auburn conditions and Auburn men throughout the south.
 Speaking of the gym campaign, MT. Harold said: 'An appeal will be made not alone to Auburn graduates and form CT students of Polytechnic but to the gen erous, public-spirited citizens of Alabama as well. It is a thing in which Ala bama as a state is interested. Alabama as a state is interested in chasing the boil weevil from her borders. She is interested, is she not, in increasing the corn yield of her soil? She is interested In extermnating the hookworm. in erad- lcating the ticks, fin putting all sorts of pests out of business, in ripping more Iron and coal from earths bosom.
