Phone 39 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: Advice is Offered to Letter Writers Concerning Stamps Stamp upside down on the left cor ner, “1 love you."
