AUBURN STUDENTS
 REMEMBER MOTHER
Student Body Perfects Honor System at Mass
 Meeting

Auburn. May 14-QSpecial.) )--The appeal of Mothers day found an answer from the Auburn students. There were few of the 800 cadets who did not wear the emblematic white flower Sunday and the flower. being pinned on the outside of the uniform jacket, was far from being con- sidered breach of military discipline. A large consignment of white carnations were sold rapidly to hundreds of boys who thought of home.
 Special services were held in the churches and Sunday schools, and the Sunday schools were thronged with stu dents who came in response to broadcast invitations.
 The Auburn student body perfected it's honor system at a mass meeting held in Langdon hall yesterday. The honor system. under which the students pledge themselves to refrain from cheating on examinations and in less formal tests, has been in force in all of the classes for two or three years, and has been a traditional institution for the upper classes. But in its machinery it was not effect. Amendments were suggested and
 
 to the students. Before the vote was taken talks on the efficacy of the honor sy stem and appeals to the students to make 1t an honor system in every minute eetal of their college lives were made by pr. George Petrie, professor of his- tory. and Dr. F. R. Messick, professor of mathematics. All the students were not present at the mass meeting, but those present voted 450 to 33 in favor of the amendments, which make the sys- tenn perfect.
 Two members of the English faculty of Auburn leave this week to deliver com mencement addresses at state schools Prof. o. D. Wannamaker professor of English literature will go to Abbevila to deliver the address at the commence ment of the Third District Agricultural school. At Syiacauga, at the Fourth Dis trict Agricultural school. Prof R. D. Webb. professor of English, will deliver tho address to the graduating class

He says that he has been informed by
seven business men entered In the con-

Of eating hot noon meals as result Of
the competition. The experience OF each
of these contestants was about the same.
To quote one Of them will be practically
