LIQUID AIR EXPERIMENTS
HIGHLY INTERESTING
West Georgians had a now sensation
at the chapel hour on January 17th.
The event was the first Lyceum at
t rad ion of the year, a liquid air de
monstration, given by Elliot James,
who held the interest of his audience
throughout with his able explanation
iind startling experiments.
Mr. James has given his program in
high schools and colleges throughout
he nation, lie has been lauded by
liea*ls of institutions and newspapers
alike. He gave more than two thous
and four hundred demonstrations in the
great Hall of Science at the World’s
Fair in 1933.
Mr. James was accompanied by Mrs.
James who did all the “dirty work”
(as she expressed it) in getting ready
the experiments. Otis was also noticed
lurking around. Many phenomenal acts
of great interest and almost unbeliev
able were performed. Some of these
experiments: the explosion of liquid
air when confined; boiling liquid air
on ice; propelling a model airplane
with liquid air; freezing cloth in the
air until it became brittle; freezing
a frozen rubber ball which burst when
bounced; freezing mercury into a very
practical hammer for a few minutes;
making a c:u>dte;ont of kerosene frozen
in liquid nirf burning a zinc cap. Tins
last experiment made such a bright
light that every one was blinded tor
a few seconds.
These are only a few of the many ex
periments that ho performed. They
were truly interesting and informative.
It was said by many that they had
never seen anything like it.
Mr. Hart (at faculty meeting): “<>f
course you all know what the inside of
m corpuscle is like.”
Mr. Lavender: “Most of us do, but
you’d better explain it for the benefit
of those who have never been inside
one.”
Dr. Boyd: “Who spilled mustard
on this waffle, dear?”
Mrs. B.: “Oh, James! How could
you! This is lemon pie "
Grace Elder: “Sara, give me an ex
ample of period furniture."
Sara Shannon: “Well, t should say
an electric clmir, because it ends a
sentence."
Grace: “They tell me your affair is
broken up."
Mary: “Yes, and Enk behaved
abominably.”
Grace: “But I thought you broke it
up yourself."
Mary: “So I did, but lie made ab
solutely no fuss about it.’
Compliments of
THE HUB
THE WEST GEORGIAN
FOOD
Kuo 1 is another quality of all quail- j
lies one learns to appreciate when at
West Georgia. Some study tells the
greatest part of our time is spent in
consuming and thinking food. 1 his is
especially true when Christmas and
holiday food has disappeared. Now it’s
the appetite we have with us every
day that gets us broke and brooding.
Every type —dieting and fattening,
•sophisticated and country gets under
the spell.
Back of these things we must think
of Uncle Bob, suffering persecutions,
about nineteen years. All this time as
he has peered out over a growing
campus, a wonderful conviction and
sentiment has grown up in his being.
As he prepares three pounds of coffee,
nine pounds of grits, one thousand
rolls and twenty dozen eggs a great
knowledge of how to live comes up to
accompany his knowledge of how to
cook. Then if Unde Bob lives with us
another score of years lie "'ill start a
drive for calling, grits, —Well, some
thing more than a lcashcr:

Much Salt, but Little
Sugar, is Found in Girls
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 12— (AP)—
When Albany Medical College students
conducted a survey to find out what
girls are made of, someone asked a
professor to translate the findings into
everyday terms.
The resulting report showed that the
average female of the species contains:
1. Chlorine enough to sanitize five
swimming pools.
2. Oxygen enough to fill 1,400 cubic
feet.
3. Thirty teaspoons of salt, enough
to season twenty-five chickens.
4. Ten gallons of water.
5. Five pounds of lime, enough to
whitewash a chicken coop.
(5. Thirty-one pounds of carbon.
7. Glycerine enough for the birrst
ing charge of a heavy Navy shell.
8. Enough glutin to make five
pounds of glue.
9. Magnesium enough for ten flash
light photos.
10. Fat enough for ten bars of soap.
11. Enough iron to make a six
penny nail.
12. Sulphur enough to rid a dog of
fleas.
13. “And believe it or not, boys,
only one-quarter of a pound of sugar.”
