IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
ALL FOR AUBURN


 'I am glad to know that the Auburn alumni have decided to go to the people of the state to get the money necessary for buildings and equipment for the institution at Auburn" said J. T. Stokeley "The people of Alabama have demanded much of Auburn and the institution has made good in every way, despite the han dicaps due to lack of funds and equipment, but the situation I learn, has reached point where something must be done, Auburn will be unable to go forward
 "With some students forced to live in tents, with every classroom used all hours of six days in the week and some classes being held before o'clock a. m. and after supper at night, additional buildings and equipment are essen- tial, and that without delay. Auburn has been of great help to the Birmingham district in providing the men needed for the development of our resources, and it has done more to ad- vance Alabama as an agricultural state and in promoting the raising of live stock than any other force.
 q have accepted appointment as district chairman of the campaign in several counties, although I am not an Auburn man. I consider this a worthy call, and I believe we can make no better investment in Alabama than to give Auburn the facilities she must have to aid in developing the resources of our state"
 TO MUSCLE SHOALS VIA AUTOMOBILE
 Henry Ford has put Muscle Shoals on the map in more ways than one" said Lee Bivings. "One of the by-products of his interest in Muscle Shoals is that the Birmingham Automobile club is visited frequently by people inquiring about the roads from here, and as many are writing and asking over the phone.
 People want to see this wonderful Muscle Shoals which has centered Henry Fords atten- tion around it, and the attention of the entire world, in fact, and people who like to travel by automobile are anxious to make the trip there in this way. It is regrettabe fact, how ever, that the road between Birmingham and Muscle Shoals is very poor; parts of it are al- most impossible, so I am informed by the Br- mingham Automobile club. From here to De- catur the road is fairly good, but beyond that it is almost impossible; very rough and very bad. One of the things I daresay that Henry Ford will do if he gets Muscle Shoals will be to see that the roads leading there for automo- piles are put in good condition, because there's always the Ford car making its way into all avenues of travel. Birmingham would do well and favor it's citizens by taking up the matter of good roads between here and Muscle Shoals, and the Birmingham Automobile club would be glad to cooperate, feel sure."

Guarding Against the Revengeful

Did you know that person with u
revengeful nature ninety nine times on:
of hundred reveals it in his or hci
writing? The indication. however, is
an indirect one.
A revengeful spirit. you see. is moi
what you would call fundamental
trait Of character. not primary one.
II is rather the logical result of the
combination Of number Of different
traits. And where you find this com
bination in an individual you may be
pretty certain that you have found also
a tendency TO be revengeful.
First Of all, the revengeful person is
nearly always of the rough. DONNA ting
sort. This is indicated by heavy writ
ing. Also. revengefulncss is an in;ui-
tive. impulsive thing. And this is in.
dicated by angular writing and the
forward slant. Obstinacy is also an i'm =
portant part Of Il. and this is shown
by shaded writing and little hooks
where the pen is taken off the paper
at the completion Of stroke. Obsti-
macy is also shown by down stroke Of
the ID which goes below the line
So then. when you see n handwriting
that is heavy. angular, slanting for.
ward. shaded. with hooked terminals
and heavily crossed It" you nre
dealing with person who is quite likely
to become revengeful upon occasion.
And il the letters "a" 20" "d'' and
IS are carefully closed you have the
sor' of person who Is not likely to o.
frank and outspoken about this revenge
full feeling.
