that's the record Mike Donahue seems about to leave behind him at Auburn, as he serves his last few months as head of Plainsmen athletic teams.
 Donahue leaves the village of the Plains In June, to take over his new position at Louisiana State university, and he will leave behind most remarkable record as athletic director of Alabama Poly.
 The baseball season at Auburn this year is turning out to be one of the most successful of all. With very little material at his command, Donahue has developed a college nine that seems able to cope with any below the Mason and Dixon line. The only series lost by the Tigers was to Wander bilt. while such foes as Camp Benning, Georgia and Georgia Tech have fallen before Dona- hue's men.
 It is Donahues last team at Auburn. and the sport world is smiling it's praise anu encourage ment, as the little Tiger coach leads the Plainsmen to victory for the last time.
 One of the surprises of the season is the showing of Ralph Webb, Birmingham
 hoy, with Auburn's baseball
 team. Ralph is a graduate of
 Central High school here, but
 never made record as an
 athlete In fact, he never
 went out for athletics at Gen. tral, and confined his sport
 activities to community play
 ing. At Auburn, Webb had
 suddenly developed into n
 pitcher, of considerable prom
 fse, as well ms cOrOking
 good hitter. DOnahue is using
 him as varsity man, and
 Ralph Webb's work is mak-
 ing him coming star.

AMERICAN MEN OF LETTERS
Writers Of Note Have Not Been Ac-

When John Morley started the Eng
lish Men of Letters" series in 1878 he
did not include an American author
excepting Hawthorne; not even Emer-
son, for whom he was later to ex-
press his high regard. And it is char
acteristic of the difference between
the American point Of view and the
British that all the volumes Of the
English Men Of Letters" series were
issued in the United States while only
two or three Of the corresponding
American Men of Letters" series were
issued in Great Britain

CASTE PREJUDICE IN INDIA
Not Bar to Any Occupation. Though
the Observance Is Most Rioidly
Enforced.

There are four main castles In India
the Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas
and Sudras, corresponding traditional
ly to the occupations of priest, warrior,
trader and artisan. But, though this
would suggest that caste was at one
time class distinction, yet at the
present day caste may include all
classes save that Of priest, which Is
reserved to the Brahmans. Caste Is
no bar to any occupation. A rajah
may be Sudra. His cook may be a
Bruhman. The rajah is Of higher
class than his cook, though Of very
much lower caste. And though the
Brahman will cook the rajah's dinner,
he Will not eat it with him, or permit
his daughter to marry the rajah.
Though it is not looked upon with
approval, marriage is possible between
castles which are not widely separated.
In particular, legal marriage can take
place between two contiguous castles.
But In all such mixed marriages the
children belong entirely to the low er
caste.

Music of American Indians.

The music of the American Indians
is solely and simply vocal. 1t seems
to be generally agreed by musical
authorities that the Indians songs
have In them nothing borrowed from
instruments, nothing Of artificial in
stigatioa. An Indian melody never
serves two sets Of words. There Is
no instance, 1t appears, where the
people have sung the different stanzas
of a ballad to the same air. A large
proportion of Indian songs are entire
ly without words at all. syllables be-
ing employed to carry the tones.
Perhaps the most striking popularity
of Indian music is the lack of definite
pitch. The Indian begins his song
where the natural quality Of his voice
and his mood at the time render 1t
easiest for him to sing 1t. The pitch
of the song depends upon the individ-

and Recognizes Government

Moscow, Jan. 27-The Sinclair
Oil Corporation has obtained from
the soviet a Sc year concession
to an oil tract a thousand versts
square in the Island Of Eakha-
lin, in the north Pacific Ocean

Two Of a number of conditions
in the remarkable contract are
that the United States shai; not

tract. is entitled to select two
spots on the Island for harbors,
these to remain under control
and the property Of the Russian
government. The Company agrees
to spend 100000 gold ruhles in
the first five years and to pay
a rental of ) per cent OF its total
sales, or 100000 gold rubles a
year if no sales are effected in
the first five years. A compli-
Gated system of taxation also is
established.
"If the United States does not
recognize Russia within five years"
the contract reads, the soviet gov
ernment can end all agreements
without being liable for compen-
sation.
The Sinclair Company must pay
a tax of one per cent on the first
10000 pools of oil sold in the
first year; two per cent on the
second forty thousand; three per
cent on the third and seven and
one-half per cent on amounts ex-
ceeding 10000 poods. Thirty

khalin authorities.
The soviet government, besides
granting this concession to the
Sinclair Company. passed land
concessions to the Sinclair Com
nanv. passed land concessions to
"California workers and Ameri-
can and Jewish workers and col
onists." .....
