SOCIETY NOTES
TENNYSON PROGRAM GIVEN" BY
Z AT ASIANS
The program of the Zatasian So
ciety on Jan. 20, centered around
Tennyson and his works. All the
numbers were interesting but espe
cially so were the readings from
Tennyson and the story of Enoch
Arden, which was so well told.
The program consisted of six
numbers as follows:
I. Life of Tennyson—Olive Jin
nette.
11. Tennyson as an artist—Minnie
Casstephens.
111. Ballads—Beulah Allen.
IV. "Sweet and Low"—Josephine
Mock and Margaret Levering.
V. Story of Enoch Arden—Eva
Holder.
VI. Reading. The Revenge—Ruth
Leveling.
Under miscellaneous business the
following new officers were elected:
President, Marianna White; Secreta
ry, Josephine Mock; Marshal, Sylvia
White.
WEBSTERIANS ON CANCELLA
TION OF WAR DEBTS
Pres. Harris made a very appro
priate talk to the Webs on Friday
January 20, at the last meeting of the
term. He very carefully summarized
the work accomplished thus far. "Al
though," he said, "no records have
been broken, yet the society has com
pleted very satisfactorily its task for
the first semester." In conclusion he
wished every one the best of suc
cess thru the coming week of exami
nations and extended a warm invi
tation to each member to meet again
February third.
Following this, the debate for the
evening, Resolved; that all Interna
tional debts be cancelled, was given.
The Negative, Fishel, and N. English
won the decision of the judges. They
very forcefully brought out the tre
menduous addition, in taxes, it would
place on the already overburdened
American populace. Further, they
showed what a demoralizing effect the
cancellation of the reparations would
have on the French Nation at this
critical time.
The Affirmative, Smith and Winn
gave a good argument. They inter
preted the cancellation of interna
tional debts as the only panacea for
the present business depression in I
the world. Further they pointed out j
how England had already made
strides towards cancelling her debts,
regardless of other nations, and clear ;
ly showed how Great Britian, through >
this step would capture the coveted
commerce of the world. In conclu
sion they argued that this action of
England vvuld force the United States
to cancel her debts and that by
waiting American would not only
lose her commerce, but also a great
amount of her prestige.
After the debate, Geo. Kinney kept j
the society well amused, for several ,
minutes, with his original jokes con
cerning the affairs and actions ihis 1
felkw students.
Mr. W. L. Rudd added n.uch to the
success of the evening by the ren
dering of several popular pieces on j
his harmonica.
The literary exercises were brought \
to a close by J. C. Penny. He gave :
a very carefully prepared talk on,
"The best Part of a Woman's Life."
Critic, Jack Ragsdale gave a short
but impressive report after which the
society adjourned.
PHILOMATHEANS READ
NEWSPAPER
The Philomathean Literary Socie
ty held its regular meeting Friday
evening, Jan. 20. The program was
in the form of a newspaper - . "The
Times."
I. National News—lsabel Pancoast.
11. Current news from the scientific
world.—Anna Doub.
111. Editorial—Ruth Reynolds.
IV. News from the Old North State.
—Helen Bostick.
V. Comic Section—Blanche Robert
son.
VI. Vocal Solo—Vera Farlow.
The rendition of this program
proved very instructive as well as
amusing.
The following officers were elected; j
President, Edna Raiford; secretary,
Henrietta Lassiter; marshal, Eliza
beth Brooks.
Evelyn Henley gave a good critic's
report, and after a few remarks of
general criticism, society adjourned.
CLAYS DEBATE TARRIFF
Since the holidays it seems that
the Henry Clays have entered into a
period of real work. The new mem- j
bers have become more or less ac
quainted with the rules and work of
the society, and are seeing beyond
thes?., the real purpose and life of
the organization.
On the evening of January 20, the
following program was given:
I. Debate: Resolved, that (reciproci
ty is a better method of regulating
international commercial intercourse
than a protective tariff.
11. Current Events.
The querry was well debated by :
both sides—Reynolds, Nicholson, and
Branson presented the affirmative ar
gument on the following points:
Practibility and adoptability of re
ciprocity. Reciprocity eliminates par
ty issue.
The negative debaters, Brown
Knight and Holder, won the debate
on the grounds, that tariff is source
of revenue, and upholds American
standards of living.
L. L. Williams, gave the society
many current events. One of the
most interesting things he said was
! that Mr. J. Elwood Cox had been
! suggested as the new Postmaster
I General who would succeed Will H.
' Hays.
Dewey Crews gave a good critic's
report.
PLAN COMBINE OF 19 R. R.
SYSTEMS
A tentative plan for consolida
tion .of all major American railroads
into 19 great competing system, has
been announced by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The pro
posed combination, authorized under
the transportation act. is designed
to remove weaknesses in the national
! railroad system shown by the oper
l ation of the rate-making power of
the Commission, and to effect re
adjustment of terminal and other
subsidiary facilities with resultant
econemy in operation and delivery of
shipments.
Hearings will be called soon by the
Commission for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed consolidations.
As the consolidation scheme is not
mandatory, the probability of execut
ing it is regarded as rather prob
lematical. Under the law no plan
can be adopted, whiclt has not re
ceived the approval of the individual
lines affected, as well as that of
the Commission. Because of this
reason it is expected that discussion
will be prolonged. The Commission
in a statement says that it "sought to
minimize dismemberment of existing
lines and systems."
THE HUMBLE CORNCOB
Aside from their feasibility in
the manufature of "Missouri meer- j
schaums," the corncob has possessed
but little commercial value, The
Department of Agriculture has dis
covered that the corncob contains ;
ten per cent of high grade furfural,
and therefore is extremely useful
as supplying a basic need in the man
ufacture of coal tar products from
dyestuffs to photgraphic laoratory
materials. Some of the more enthu
siastic ones in the Department have
it all figured out that furfurar was
one of the many very smart things
which the Germans were reported to
have gotten down to a fine point
before they started the war.
RESEARCH BELOW ZERO
The science of cold—of extreme
ly low temperatures—may be re
garded by many persons as still
remote from industry. Cryogen
ics, as this science is called, never
theless, has become a practical
subject, particularly the character
istics of gas mixtures in relation
to liquification and separation of
gases for industrial application
purposes. Liquid oxygen, has a
practical application as an explo
sive. If an absorbent pad is sat-'
urated with a liquid hydrocarbon,
it can, in presence of liquid oxy-

HOW MONEY GROWS
Chauncey M. Depew, erstwhite
United States Senator from New
York, put SIOO in a Peekskill, N. Y..
savings bank in 1860. It was his
first SIOO. Maybe Senator Depew
found, as many do,, that the first
SIOO proved to be the hardest. Any
way, in spite of strenuous tempta
tion, he refused to draw upon that
SIOO, and, as a result of later
prosperity, finally forgot about it.
Not long ago Senator Depew entered
the Peekskill bank to greet some
old friends and they reminded him
of his "nest egg." On computing
the interest it was found that the
original deposit of SIOO had grown
to SBOO, and owing to the long period
in which it had lain undisturbed had
achieved the distinction of being
known as the bank's star account.
