Page 4 SOCIETY NOTES THE PHILOMATHEANS DICUSS VALUE OF ATHLETICS The Philomathean Literary Society discussed "Athletics" Friday evening, Feb. 3. The first number on the program was a debate, Resolved, that physical education should be re quired and provided for in all educa tional institutions. Clementine Rai ford and Bertha Zachary upheld the affirmative and were successful in proving that physical education was of great value and should be required and provided for in all educational institutions, while Sallie Wilkins and Edna Coble, the speakers for the negative gave a good argument against physical education. The debate was followed ioy a dis cussion on "The Adantages and Dis advantages of Inter-Collegiate Games for Girls" by Henrietta Lassiter. The third number. "The Line" by Lulu Raiford, was jokes on several mem bers of the society. An instrumental duet "Benedict" was given by Luna Taylor and Lloyd Merrimon. Alta Zachary gave "The National Sport Page" which was interesting. The following officers were install ed at this metting. Edna Raiford, president; Henrietta Lassiter, sec retary, Elizabeth Brooks, marshal. Under the head of miscellaneous business the President appointed a new executive committee, Isabel Pan coast, Shelby Clodfelter and Anna Daub. Ophelia Paul, the critic for the evening, gave a good report. After several remarks of general criticism, society adjourned. WEBSTERIANS PRESENT EXTEM PORANEOUS PROGRAM. Friday night, Feb. 3, found a fine group of members out for society, even though some were absent thru being at home, some thru unavoid able causes and others thru negli gence. The regular literary exercises for the evening were postponed until Feb. 10, and an extemporaneous pro gram was given. The debate, Resolved: that the last kiss you receive at parting is sweeter than the first when you return, proved exceedingly interesting. Nex-eus English, the representative for the affirmative won the judges' decision over Hobbs for the negative. Judging by the beautiful scenes pict ured. both contestants must have had such experiences. , The second number, "The Whis pered Stories of Guilford," by Gor rel Payne, revealed some interesting facts concerning couples. Mr. Rudd ended the program with a few faorite songs.—His popularity with the members was manifested by the applause with which his selec tions were received. The society was glad to receive as members Messrs. M. B. Connor and Joe Ragsdale. After critic Winn, had given an interesting criticism,. the meeting ad journed. CLAYS GIVE EXTEMPORANEOUS PROGRAM The program of he Henry Clays on Friday evening, February 3, was slightly different from the usual ones. After President Murray White, had called the society to order and had dispensed the usual order of business, an extemporaneous program was given. The First number was a debate in which Hodgin. the leader for the affirmative, outlined the argument for kis side and gave a good speech. Williams, for the negative, stated the case in plain terms and showed in a striking manner just what had to be done, in order that either side might win the debate. Johnson, for the affirmative, aWly advanced further argument on the question. Second, a silent oration was given by William Blair. He displayed much oratory and skill, and, won fche admiration of his audience. The society was very pleased to reinstate Messrs. Cummings and Woody into membership and was also glad to receive C. C. Sim as a new member. ZATASIAN NOTES The Zatasian Litei'ary Society was called to order by president Mabel Ward. The new officers were then installed and the program for the evening given. "Did You Hear 'bout Dat Weddin," a reading by Eurie Teague, was an enthusiastic description of a wedding, grand and perfect save for the fact that the bridegroom did not appear. A debate followed on the question, Resolved that there should be uniform marriage and divorce laws. The speakers on the affirmative, con vinced the judges that if the laws were uniform, they could be more strictly enforced and that so many ridiculous situations would not arise because of different laws in different states. The speakers on the neg ative, Swannie Craton and Daisy Hobson, claimed that each state could see its own needs and that the same laws would not apply to all states. "The Deceased Robert," another humorous reading was given by Nell Jones. Susie Wright then sang "The Sunshine of Your Smile." Cur rent Events by Ruth Hodges was the last number on the program. Under miscellaneous business a new executive committee was ap pointed consisting of Allene Johnson, chairman, Marie Tyson and Mary Henley. SUPPORTING BALLOONS BY HELIUM GAS. Recent Tests Recall Interesting Story of a Strange Occupant of the Air We Breathe By R. B. Moore L'. S. Bureau of Mines Recent, tests of Helium as a non-in flamable gas for balloons calls atten tion to the interesting history of this strange occupant of the air we breathe. Helium is in the air in the propor tion of one part in 185,000 by volume; neon, one part in 60,000; argon, one part in 104; krypton, one part in 19 million, and xenon, one part in 190 million. These gases are all inert, do not react with other ele ments, and for this reason probably more than for any other, they have excited great interest among chem ists.. Next to hydrogen helium is the lightest gas known, having twice the density of hydrogen. Helium has been liquified by Pro fessor Onnes in Leyden. The liquid boils at —268.75 degrees C, which is very close to absolute zero, that is—■ 273 degrees C. Onnes is the only one who has liquified helium, and he used the small amount of liquid ob tained to determine some of the properties of matter at this extreme jly low temperature. What has been | done is significant enough to make it very desirable to have liquid helium in quantity so that further experimen- I tal work along this line may be I carried out. Helium is found in the gasses of many mineral springs. It is also found in natural gas in a large num ber of localities in the United States, of localities in the United States, particularly in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio. About four hun dred million cubic feet of helium is going to waste each year from this source alone. Since helium is not inflamable and has 92 per cent of the lifting power of hydrogen, during the war, it be came of great military value. The plan was to substitute helium for hy drogen in balloons and dirigibles, and thus make it impossible to bring these vessels to earth by means of incendiary bullets. Such a change would make tremendous progress in aeronautics, for both commercial.and war purposes. With this object in view, the U. S. Government has experimented on the extraction of helium from natural gas i Texas, and during the war three experimental plants were built and operated. At present one of these experimental plants is- still be ing operated and a larg-e production plant has been constructed at Fart Worth. It is hoped that the Gov ernment will support these plants on account of the fact that the United States is the only country in the world at the present time which THE GUILFORDIAN HOURS—Daily Morning' - - - 7:15 to 9:00 !

C.J has sufficient helium in its natural gas for war and commercial purposes. The origin of helium in natural gas is uncertain. During radioactive changes, helium is thrown off in the form of the alpha particle, which is a helium atom with two positive charges. However, we are not ac quainted with sufficient supplies of uranium or thorium ores to account for the large volumes of helium present in natural gas in this coun try. If the helium does not come from radioactive changes, it might have come' from the sun, if the earth was really thrown off from the sun. The chromosphere, or surrounding envelope of the sun, consists of in candescent hydrogen and helium. It is possible that the vicious mass of the earth in passing through the sun's atmosphere picked up sufficient, gas to account for the helium now found below the earth's crust. The price of helium before the war was approximately S2OOO a cubic foot. It is believed that in the ;new plant at Fort Worth helium may be produced for a little less ( than 6 cents a cubic foot.—Courtesy Engin eering Foundation.
