The Thanksgiving Ideal

Thanksgiving day like Christmas
day, Fourth of July, and Armistice
day only comes once in a year. These
four holidays are our outstanding holi-
days. It seems that the good things al-
ways come in small quantities but this
should make us appreciate them more.
Thanksgiving should mean more to us
than just a day for football games and
turkey dinners. Of course these
things are a part of thanksgiving day,
but the main thing we should think of
on this day is to be thankful. We all
have many things tO- be thankful for
on this day of days. We ought
to remember the ones who are less
fortunate than we. Remembering
these does not necessarily mean carry-
ing them something to eat or wear but
for one day in the year we can try to
be a little more considerate of others
than usual. Just a little smile or a
kind word may make an altogether
different Thanksgiving day for some-
one. Try it.

Judge Roop, Armistice
Day Speaker at A. & M,

. At the chapel hour, before one
hundred and fifty or more young men
and women of the A. & M. School,
Judge C. E. Roop delivered a splendid

address. lie said that Armistice Day
marked the greatest triumph in the
spirit of the American people and of
the world save the birth of Jesus
Christ. He contended that the day
not only meant the close of the war
which marked the cessation of the
slaughtering of thousands of the
flowered manhood of the leading
countries and in which 18,000,000 died
indirectly as the result, but of an un-
heard of and incompdesensible sum
of property. National debts were in-
creased and taxes necessarily raised.

In continuing, he stated that all this
was noting ^ in comparison to the
heartaches, sufferings and sorrows of
those intimately touched and the
breaking down of the morale of the
people of the affected nations. He
further declared that war does not set-
tle anything.

In closing his address, he rejoiced
that in it all democracy triumphed
over autocracy and emphasized, in it
all, the message to the young people,
that the United States and the world
wanted a warless world. He paused
to pay tribute to those who made the
supreme sacrifice, but he said their
task and contril^ution will prove use-
less, unless we dedicate ourselves to
these principles and ideals and make
them secure. This can be accomplish-
ed only by applying to human rela-
tionvs the principles and practices of
Jesus.

A-

School Spirit

We might think of school spirit as.
meaning good scholarships only, but
that is just a part of school spirit.

School spirit is co-operating with
the school in every way possible, try-
ing to make your school the most out-
standing one in the city or countv
wherever it may be located. You can
help do this by being a good student,
a good sport, and, in fact, a good citi-
zen in every wav.

Historical Facts

About Puoltry

The poultry industry developed
within the last century. Fowls were
bred in England during the Roman
occupation for the sport of cock fight-
ing. The Durids had a law that forc-
ed the eating of the fowls' flesh for
food. As late as 1850 fowls were used
in England in pagan rites. The
Durids gave away to eating of the
fowls, and by the time of the first set-
tlement in America poultry was one
of their main games to kill and eat.
During colonial days poultry keeping
was common among Indians.

Eggs were appreciated, but were
almost a warm weather product. There
was a slight commercial aspect to
poultry keeping previous to 1825. In
1839 there were sixteen states with
poultry valued at over $250,000 each.
As the commercial aspect became
dominant, poultry keepers saw the
importance of increasing the produc-
tion per hen and in developing cheap
methods of raising chickens. In 1847
two patents were issued on ''Method
of Incubation" though it was forty
years later that the first practicable in-
cubator was invented.

The first poultry show was held in
Niew England in 1849, ^"^ i" ^^73
the American Poultry Association was
organized. In 1874 the first "standard
of perfection" was printed. The In-
ternational Baby Chick Association
was organized in 1916.

The number of standard breeds and
varieties recognized by the American
Poultry Association are as follows :
Christmas, forty-two breeds and seven-
ty- four varieties ; turkeys, six varie-
ties ; geese, six breeds, including one
breed with two varieties ; eleven breeds
of ducks, including three breeds with
seven varieties.

Old Sport Shoes

Peggy Lynch worked at the notion
counter in Rich's Department Store.
Jack Martin worked at the shoe de-
partment on the same floor of the
same store.

Peggy had never seen many hand-
some men, for she had not lived that
long, but she felt sure Jack was the
best looking man in the world. "You
needn't be casting your eye toward
that Martin boy," said little Nellie
Jackson, "He's a real woman hater."

Peggy kept her eyes away from the
shoe department until all the beautiful
spring slippers came in. One day as
Peggy was coming back from lunch
she noticed the most beautiful pair of
blonde kid slippers that she had ever
seen in the shoe window. She only
made $15.00 a week and gave eight
of this to her mother and had the rest
to buy her clothes, pay street car fare,
and buy lunch. She soon decided to
bring lunch from home, walk to work,
and save every penny for buying her
slippers.

A notice was sent over the store
that the employee's annual picnic
would be given Wednesday.

Peggy was all thrills because she
just knew she would have those high
heel slippers to wear. While Nellie
and Peggy were discussing the picnic,
Nellie told Peggie she might wear her
lace dress because it would look so
nice with her new slippers..

Durnig the lunch hour on Tuesday
Peggy weiit to the shoe department
and asked Jack to show her some
blonde kid slippers. She tried to ap-
pear casual and unconcerned but her
eyes were sparkling. He was also
excited and could hardly show her the
slippers. After trying on many pairs
of slippers Peggy said : "they will pay
us tonight and I will get the slippers
tomorrow."

Peggy clutched her pay envelope

THE AGGIES NOVEMBER, 1927.

and hurried homeward. As she reach-
ed home she heard her mother say, "I
just can't pay for it now." A big truck
was standing in front of the house.
She immediately knew it was the coal
her mother had ordered.

"How much is the coal, mother
dear," asked Peggy.

"Fourteen dollars," her mother an-
swered.

"I'll pay it," Peggy stated. It was
a very sad little Peggy that went to
her work the next day. Nellie brought
the lace dress that Peggy was to wear
that afternoon.

"Nellie, dear, I can't wear that dress
with these old sport shoes." Then she
told Nellie about the coal business,
and that she was supposed to buy the
slippers from Jack that very day. "Oh,
don't mind a little thing like that,
don't even mention it to Jack and you
can get the slippers at the end of two
more weeks," said Nellie.

Peggy decided to do as her friend
advised and she wore her little muslin
frock and sport slippers,, She was
one of the happiest of the whole bunch
in spite of the old sport slippers.

After the meal, Jack Mlartin came
over to Peggy who was sitting alone
and began talking to her. Peggy was
thrilled to think Jack A/lartin, the good
looking man from the shoe depart-
ment would even talk to her, the poor
little kid from the notion counter.

"You seem different from the rest
of 'em in the store," he said.

"Well, take the way you are dressed,
for instance, you are not walking
around on high heels out here in the
country. You wear sport shoes like a
sensible person."

Peggy laughed to herself because
she knew the reason she didn't have
on high heels.

Jack stayed with Peggy the rest of
the evening. He sat beside her as they
rode back to town and he told her good
night on her own front door-steps.

"See you tomorrow morning," he said
as he left.

There was a light in his eyes and a
tenderness in his voice which Peggy
could not mistake and the old sport
shoes were the cause of it all.

A

Heard County Fair

Was Great Success

Below is found a letter concerning
the Pleard County Fair :

November 14, 1927.
Editor of the News & Banner,
Franklin, Ga.
My dear sir:

I do not like to tell anyone that "I
told you so," but I can not refrain in
this case. Sometime ago I wrote you,
on seeing your suggestion for a fair
in the News & Banner, that you could
not realize your splendid resources un-
til you got them collected. It proved
quite true. All were agreeably sur-
prised at the most remarkable and
successful exhibit of the products of
your wonderful county.

In our own county, despite the large
premiums offered, we had only six
community exhibits. You had fifteen.
They were well selected and arranged.
The patrons, teachers and students of
the schools, together with your effi-
cient County Agent and co-operative
County School Superintendent and
others are to be congratulated. The
school exhibits from the students sup-
ervised by the teachers honor the
schools of the county and bespeak for
them efficiency and progress. Every-
one connected ought to l^e proud of
his contribution to this event and those
who did not take a part should rejoice
in the success of the occasion. Per-
sonally, I have been connected with
similar events, but I nexer saw better
co-operation, a better exhibit and a
finer spirit. A^erv sincerelv,

IRATNE S. INGRA:\I.

THE AGGIES NOVEMBER, 1927.

The Glee Club is progressing nicely.
We are still working on a program to
be given over WSB, in Atlanta.
We are also planning a musical con-
cert to be given at the First Methodist
Church one Sunday night in the near
future. On Thanksgiving morning,
during the chapel period we are going
to make our initial appearance before
the school.

A ^

Weiner Roast

One of the happiest of happy days
this year was the never-to-be forgot-
ten date of November ii. We all as-
sembled for our usual chapel exercises,
perhaps wondering what Judge Roop
was going to talk about, when Mr.
Ingram unexpectedly made the an-
nouncement that Mrs. Ingram and he
were going to give the school a weiner
roast that evening at seven o'clock.
You can imagine how glad we were
and how happy everyone seemed to
feel all of a sudden.

That evening everyone was on time
for the party. Three bonfires, music,
laughter, l)uns, weiners, pickles. All
combined made a perfect evening.

One by one said good night and
good-bye, and slowly and reluctantly
we left thhe dying bonfires.

A

Prize Essay

The following essay easily captured
the handsome prize, a beautiful set of
false teeth, given by Miss Nolen at
the essay contest.

Teeth are required to chew food.
Many people who eat in quick lunch
establishments have teeth, but do not
use them. We are born without teeth
and acquire them painfully which
proves that nature isn't so kind as
some folks claim.

Some teeth are called wisdom teeth.
No one knows why they are called
wisdom teeth, in fact, they are so

foolish and absolutely useless that the
name seems entirely out of place.
They should be called lazy teeth for
they come late and go early.

Dentists speak in terms of crowns
and bridges terms indicating the cost
of considerable dental construction
projects. Bridges remind one of
blasting excavations and "Wilson
Damns." The dentist does the blasting
and excavating, while the patient with
a rubber gag in his mouth thinks of
dams.

False teeth are so-called because
they so frequently have a falling out
with their owner. However they do
not ache and may be cleaned with a
whisk broom with no inconvenience to
their possessor.

Very old ladies having but two teeth
left, give thanks daily if the teeth bite
opposite.

Gold teeth, while charming to be-
hold and pleasant to the taste are no
better mastication than ordinary teeth
and ofi^er a constant temptation to
hold-up men who might otherwise be-
come plumbers or lawyers.

Just Here and There

The quarterly examinations are
over and theh examination papers
have been graded and properly record-
ed. There were a few failures. In
most of the cases, the failures were
due to absences from classes. Regu-
lar attendance wins irregular attend-
ance will always lose.

Fewer students have dropped out of
school this time than have formerly.
It is evidence of the interest and fine
spirit that has characterized the stu-
dent ])ody this year. More than one
hundred and ninety have enrolled this
year.

The Business School continues to do
well. The small cost does not pay
rental on the typewriters. But the
success of the department justified its

THE AGGIES NOVEMBER, 1927.

existence. New students will be ad-
mitted at the Spring Term which
opens January 4th.

Mr. Harmon who takes Mr. Whit-
mire's place is pushing his department.
Mr. Harmon is sure to succeed with
his present attitude.

The athletic department has suc-
ceeded well under the direction of
Coach Luckey. The big game is to
be played Thanksgiving Day between
the Oglethorpe Freshman and A. &
M. team. The band is in readiness for
the occasion. Hundreds will see the
game if the weather is favorable. The
proceeds will go to the High School
for the completion of their field. It is
the plan of the authorities to fence
that field and co-operate with the A. &
M. in their future games.

The churches are indeed kind to
the students of the school particular-
ly the First Baptist and the Taber-
nacle churches. They never fail to
have cars for those who wish to attend
church. Special mention should be
made of Mr. H. O. Lovvorn, Mr.
Horace Cole, Dr. Reese and others.

The Literary Societies are urging
regular attendance at their Saturday
evening programs. These meetings
are the barometers of the School.
Students who are active in these so-
cieties are those who succeed later in
Hfe.

Mr. Bonner, Secty-Treas. of the
Athletic Council, is making an appeal
to the Alumni to forward as much as
five dollars for the use in completing
the Alumni Athletic Building to be
used as a gymnasium. This is a
worthy cause and he is grateful for
the response with which the Alumni
and friends are responding.

The Carroll County Farm Bureau
holds its annual meeting on Thanks-
giving at the school. Mr. Ingram has
been president of this body since its
organization, eight years ago. This
group always brings some outstanding
speakers. Among them have been,

Dr. A. M. Soule, Senator Walter l\
George, Commissioner Talmadge and
others.

The School gives only a half holi-
day on Thanksgiving. Christmas hol-
idays begin Thursday at noon Decem-
ber 22nd. School will open Wednes-
day January 4th. at 7 130 A. M.

Many of the college boys and girls
drop in at the school. They are al-
ways welcome. So many of the
Alumni are making an enviable record
in their chosen vocations. The school
is always interested in their success.

The Bully

You will find the Bully almost
everywhere. He is in every kind of
society you may enter. Often his
bullying does not mean he is a physical
bully but that he is merely trying to
force his opinions down your throat.
Either the physical bully or the other
kind is bad enough but when you com-
bine thhem you have the worst kind of
bully possible. In school you will find
him always trying to make some small
boy do something. Oftentimes what
he wants done does not help him or
anyone else, he merely wants to show
his authority. In school he is usually
the senior and always the old boy.
Very seldom do you find a new bov
who is a bully. The senior comes back
to school for his last year deternimed
to do something to be remembered by.
He usually picks out some boy who is
not the right type for his hero. When
some small boy comes around he starts
bullying him and if he can get him to
beg loud he is highly pleased and the
louder the better.

For the bully the only punishment
that would be adequate would be to
put him in a den where someone or
something would be continually inil-
lying him.

Of all the things beneath the skies
The schoolday bully I do despise.

The Important Candle

''Oh ! Rose didn't it pour down rain
las' night" ? exclaimed Marie as she
caught up with her friend on her way
from town.

"Gee, I should say it did ! Believe
me I was sure scared but I wasn't the
only one that was scared at our house.
The baby screamed to the top of his
voice every time it lightened and you
know how often that was Why we
couldn't even hear the thunder for his
howls."

"Oh, l)ut let me tell you something
funny," was the reply from Marie.

"You know all the lights went out
about 8:30."

"Yes."

"Well, my sister, Ruth, had a date,
as usual, and they were sitting in the
parlor not saying anything much,
and "

"Aw, how did you know they
weren't saying anything," broke in
Ruth with a knowing grin.
"Hugh, I was listening. Anyhow,
they were real quiet when the lights
went oiT And you know how scarey
Ruth is. She screamed out to the top
of her voice, 'Marie bring us a light
quick.' I just hunted and hunted and
I couldn't find but one candle to save
my life. Just as I got to the parlor
door with the one little light, father
came in at the front door and out went
the light. Ruth began screaming
again, and father ran into me. I drop-
ped the candle and was stooping down
to get it when Ruth came running out
and hit me. I tried to catch hold of
something to keep from falling and
what do you suppose I grabloed" ?

"Couldn't imagine, what?"
/"Ruth's fellow's foot!"

"Well ! What happened then" ?

"We both, went down on the floor

had found the matches and we Were
able to get up."

"My, I mean that was some mix-up,
wasn't it?" asked Rose.

"Yes, but that's not all. After we
found the candle and Ruth and her
fellow were taking it with them, dad
spoke up and said he would have to
have a light. Ruth was pretty much
peeved by this time, so she said to dad,
T asked you last week to get some
candles and you didn't do it so I think
we ought to keep this light in here.' "

"All right," dad said, "but if the
light goes in there I do too.'"

"Bet Ruth didn't like for your dad
to sit in there with them, did she?"
exclaimed Rose.

"You bet it made her mad. But
she didn't say anything 'cause there
wasn't anything to say. They sat
back down and things went on very
nicely for a while, until Bud came in
and said he just simply had to have the
light. Ihen the fuss started all over
again. My ! Such a noise over one
little candle." ' ^

"How did they get it settled?" asked
Rose.

"It wasn't settled, they kept fussing
until the lights came on .and Ruth's
fellow left," was the reply.

"That shows how important a little
candle can be, doesn't it?"

"I should say so, but believe me a
candle will never be so important at
our house again."

"Why?" " . . :^:^^. -:J'

"Because dad brought home two tjiI
lamps at dinner, and Ruth had just
bought six large candles, and then
when Bud came home he brought a

flash light."

Hawthorne Society

The first quarter of the 1927-28
school year, so far as the Hawthorne
society is concerned, has been one of
the most successful in its history.
Many new members were added to our
roll and many fine programs rendered.
Also a better spirit of co-operation
and team work was shown than at
any time in previous years. This
spirit is the main thing that we must
count on carrying us through to
another victorious year. Of course
the first quarter counts heavily in eith-
er victory or defeat, as well as the
others through the year, so it seems
we have made a good beginning. It is
very important that we carry on with
this splendid spirit through the re-
mainder of the year, for to let up for
one quarter would spoil our chances
of victory.

At noon Oct. 31, we met and elected
new officers for the quarter : C. F.
Williamson, President ; Verdie Long,
Secretary ; Arranging Committee :
Annis Burns, Ollie Bird Carter, Min-
nie Williamson and Bob Tisinger.
Now let's get behind these officers,
and with their help make this quarter
even more successful than the one just
past.

The most outstanding features of
this quarter's work are : first a booster
program to be given Nov. 19. We are
planning to have a hundred per cent
attendance that night, and boost oiu"
society to the top. Then there will be
the entertainment given in honor of
the Ciceronians who gave us such a
grand party last quarter, and we are
planning to amply repay them in the
near future.

So Hawthornes come on and let's
finish this year with our banner flying
high as we have done in the past and
can do in the future.

R. D. T.

The Ciceronian Society

On Nov. I, the Ciceronian Society
elected the following officers for the
second quarter : President, Paul Den-
ney; Vice-President, Hudson Mad-
dox ; Secretar}^ Lanire Thompson.
Program Committee: Gerila ]3enney,
Christine Martin, Pludson Maddox,
and Philip Pearson.

Much good was accomplished in
the work of the first quarter. The
new students have gotten lined up and
have done good work. Progams have
been rendered and the interest contin-
ues to grow from time to time.

The Ciceronians have selected a
goal, and each one, with an eye of de-
termination is firmly set for that goal,
which happens to be the W'oodrow
Wilson loving cup. The fact that the
Ciceronians came so near winnig last
year arouses more enthusiasm and
eagerness to reach the goal than ever
before.

From the efforts shown by those
working for the literary value of the
society it may be noticed that work
has been the greatest incentive. This
is shown by way in which a part on
program is brought up. The manner
in which it is put on and the ability of
the student in handling his subject
reveals the amount of work he has
done on the subject. From the pro-
grams thus far rendered it is found
that much more work has been done
toward a literary value than before.
Each one has shown that it is the de-
sire of the society to make the pro-
grams the very best, and we wish just
here to commend the new students for
the interest shown in the society.

In summarizing the activities of the
society thus far we find that we have
much more material over last year, a
hard working- society and more con-
testants for the various Literary Sub-
jects. So the Hawthornes mav be as-
sured that there will be an exciting-
time at A. & M. next :Mav. P.O.D '2S.

The Lover

In an old fashioned, isolated house
there lived two rich old maids, Ruth
and Mary, and their housekeeper,
Jane.

One morning they were eating
breakfast and noticed that the vacant
house next door was occupied by new
neighbors. Mary was very interested
and kept gazing toward the neighbor's
house. Finally she discovered a man
sitting at a table eating. She was
vary much interested because there
had been few men friends in her life.

Ruth and Mary desired his ac-
quaintance very much, so finally, Ruth
fixed a nice box of well cooked food
for him. She carried it to the new
neighbor that afternoon. This brought
the desired effects. The handsome
man could not express thanks enough
for the delicious food.

The next afternoon Miary was
working in the garden and the man of
her choice came over to see her. He
read to her the beautiful poems he
had written. Mary could hardly wait
to tell Ruth the good news.

Ruth happened to be the first one to
enter the garden the next day. The
handsome man came again. He spoke
to her in pleasing words and hinted
his love for her. Ruth then told
Mary all about her good luck.

The sisters grew jealous of each
other, and then poor Mary became ill.
She worried because she could not go
to the garden. She knew Ruth would
win tl^e man whom she longed so
much to win.

Time passed and Mary grew more
l)roken-hearted. One day Ruth was
giving Mary medicine when Jane, the
housekeeper, came in and said, 'T'm
mighty glad your handsome man is
moving. I'm tired of him making
love to me."

A. & M. and Bowdon
State College Not Carroll
County Institutions

In his closing remarks at the end of
his splendid Centennial address. Judge
Adamson made a strong appeal for
the two state schools located in our
county, the A. & M. and Bowdon
State College.

He reminded us that these are not
Carroll county schools, although lo-
cated in this county ; both are state in-
stitutions, state-owned and state con-
trolled, and that there is no conflict
between them, but there is a need for
both and that both could and should
be filled with students from this sec-
tion of the state.

Carroll county alone should have
more students in each of these schools
than are now enrolled. He reminded
the people that if the county would
show its appreciation of them by pa-
tronizing them, the state would then
make more adequate appropriations
for them. That this is true there can
be no doubt. Nor is there any reason
why both of them should not have
twice as many Carroll county boys and
girls in them as are now enrolled.

An analysis of the 400 graduates
that have gone out from the A. & M.
during its brief period of twenty years,
usefulness will convince the most
skeptic that there is a need and a
place for this school. Remember that
it is only twenty years old and has
never been adequatelv provided for
and yet no school in Georgia has a bet-
ter record of accomplishment, rela-
tively ; it is a record to be proud of
and reflects credit upon the men who
have been at its head : Prof. J. H.
Melson and Prof. I. S. Ingram.

Can any school in Georgia show a
better record? Ten per ceiit of them
are in college, fitting themselves for
future usefulness. Fifteen per cent
farmers and all of them following-
some useful occupation or vocation.
Not a single loafer among them.

This statement does not tell us how
many of these are from the farm, or
how many of them could never have
gotten a high school education but for
the A. & M. and we venture to say
that everyone of the 32 home-makers
are better women and better home-
makers by reason of going to the A. &
M.

The last legislature deserves the
severest criticism for neglecting and
refusing to appropriate the small pit-
tance of eight thousand dollars to
make these repairs, while giving every
other of the dozen and more state
schools increased appropriations. The
Times does not attempt to place the
blame for this treatment on any rep-
resentative, because it is the fault of
the entire body, each individual mem-
ber, and that for the reason stated
above, it is a state school, not a Car-
roll county school.

, Jft is an enemy of both; of these
schpols and o,fi the boys ,, and girls of
western Georgia who would attempt
to array them, the one against the
other.

After more than a half century of
usefulness no one can deny that there
is a need and a place for Bowdon CoF
lege and that she is filling that place
well.

There are no two more worthy edu-
cators in the state than the two men
at the head of these schools, Dr.
George W. Camp and Prof. L S.
Ingram.

Dear Alumnus :

If you were present at the annual
alumni banquet last Alay you already
know that plans were made at that
time for the construction of an alumni
athletic building on the A. & AI.
campus to be used for basketball and
other indoor sports.

We are glad to announce that work
on this building has already been in-
augurated.

There are approximately 4,00 gradu-
ates of the school and the estimated
cost of the building together with
equipment for baths, etc, is $2000.00.
This makes the dues of each gradu-
ate just $5.00. Of course the com-
mittee will be glad to receive subscrip-
tions from $1.00 up. Each student of
the school has been asked to contri-
bute also and with this money we hope
to keep the building going until the
necessary funds are raised.

At Monroe A. & M. there has aF
ready been built a gymnasium by sim-
ilar means. Carrollton High School
alumni have within the last three
months raised $2,500.00 and have built
one of the finest athletic fields in this
section. I'm sure we have just as loyal
alumni as either of the above mention-
ed schools and Fm equally as sure that
no school needs the co-operation of the
alumni more than our own Alma
Mata.

We have a splendid football team
here this season and a fine athletic
spirit. Prospects are good for basket-
ball after Thanksgiving. Won't you
do your part toward getting the build-
ing completed by Christmas ? Come
by to see us when you are in Carroll-
ton and let's talk it over.

Interesting Facts

About the Sun

The sun is the dominant member of
the solar system. Its mass is 1000
times thhe combined masses of all the
bodies in the solar system. It controls
their motions by its gravitation, and it
warms and lights them with its abun-
dant rays.

The sun appears small, no larger
than the moon, only because of the
great distance of the earth from it
92,900,000 miles. The diameter of
the sun is 866,000 miles, and its vol-
ume is therefore, more than a million
times that of the earth. The sun's
average density, however, is only one-
fourth that of the earth, or 1.4 times
that of water. The surface gravity of
a body depends both upon its size and
upon its density, the influence of great
density counterbalancing the effect of
small size, and vice versa. An object
which weighs one pound upon the sur-
face of the earth would weigh nearly
28 pounds on the surface of the sun.

It is obvious that nearly all the light
and heat received by the earth comes
from the sun. The earth, however,

receives only one 2,00,000,000th. of
the total amount of the sun's heat. In
the sun originate directly or indirectly,
almost all the active forces operating
on the earth. The wind blows because
the sun heats different parts of the
earth's atmosphere unequally. When
rain falls the sun's rays have caused
water in the form of vapor to rise into
the regions occupied by the clouds.
Wood burns because the sun's energy
has been stored in its cells. Coal and
petroleum are sources of powers be-
cause they have preserved the solar
energy contained in plants of earlier
geological ages. Animals and men are
warm-blooded and can move because
they feed on plants or on other ani-
mals that subsist upon plants, and
these plants obtain their energy from
the sun. It has been found that a
square yard of the earth's surface ex-
posed prependicularly to the sun's
rays receives energy equivalent to 15-
horse power.

The temperature of the surfce of
the sun is about 10,000 F., or twice
that of an electric furnace, while the
heat of the interior is much greater.
As might be expected, the sun is the
seat of violent storms. Whirling
masses of intensely heated matter, in
volume many times greater than the
earth, often sweep along its surface
at the rate of several hundred miles a
minute. Occasionally there are erup-
tions in which streams of glowing
gases are thrown up from the sun's
surface to a height of several hundred
thousand miles, or farther than the
distance from the earth to the moon.

The stars are not tiny points of
light, as they seem to be, nor jewels
on a crystalline sphere, as the ancients
often supposed but they are actually
great suns whose volumes average a
million times greater than the volume
of the earth. They appear as points
of light simply because of their im-
mense distances from us which aver-
age millions of times the distance from

the sun to the earth.

The fundamental means of measur-
ing is the time and the rotation of the
earth. The ultimate standard by
which clocks are regulated is furnish-
ed by observatories from their obser-
vations of the stars. The primary unit
is the average of the true solar days,
which vary slightly in length. The
difference between mean solar time
and true solar time is called the equa-
tion of time, and is given in the
Nautical Almanac. Mean solar time
and true solar time agree four times a
year, namely on April 15, June 14,
September i, and December 24. The
maximum difference between them oc-
curs on Nov. 2, when it amounts to 16
minutes and 21 seconds.

Congratulations, Boys

The boys living in the dormitory
are to be congratulated for the co-
operation with the faculty in making
the building a cleaner and more res-
pectable place in which to live. Some-
thing near twelve dollars has recently
been raised among the boys for the
purpose of buying new shades, cur-
tains, etc, for the lobby. A library
table, magazines, pictures, etc, have
also been added, and the wholesome
appearance of the building has been
boosted considerably.

Nothing can be finer or more com-
mendable of a group of boys than this
spirit to co-operate and make the
building a better place to live in. It
is the first and most important training
of a soldier and should be the most
important part of the student's train-
ing. The fellow who is always rais-
ing a rough-house, abusing and de-
stroying public property, is never a
good student; he's never a good ath-
lete for he couldn't be a clean sports-
man. Rowdiness is no longer con-
ceded to be the attribute of a real he-
man.

Home Economics Club

Perhaps you would like to know
what our Club has been doing during
the first semester. We met Sept. 12,
1927 for the purpose of organizing
our Home Economics Clulj. The fol-
lowing ofticers were elected : Presi-
dent, Elsie Strickland ; Secretary, Ver-
die Long and Treasurer, Christine
Martin. We desided to name our
club "The Thrifter Workers," the
motto, *T.et no stone be unturned,"
colors, green and yellow; song, "Home
Economics will shine."

We started the new year by raising
money to add new improvements to
our department. Each girl picked a
few pounds of cotton and earned
$6.89. We took part in the Carroll
County Centennial by having a booth.
The following amount was earned,
$12.28. We won second prize on
sewing exhibit which was $5.00, giv-
ing the total amount of $24.17. With
this money we purchased the follow-
ing articles for our department : trash
box, pencil sharpener, can opener,
garbage pail, towel rack, colored cray-
on, bread box, cake pan, ice mallet, jar
filler, vegetable brushes, ice pick, tgg
sheer, two sifters, stove and furniture
polish. Our Superintendent donated
the following: eight paring knives,
eight asbestos mats, eight enamel dish
pans, two bread boads which were
much appreciated.

A few days ago Mrs. E. B. Shep-
herd, who represented the Rum ford
Baking Powder Company, gave a
demonstration on different kinds of
breads. She gave each girl a thimble,
recipe book, and set of measuring
spoons. She donated to our depart-
ment a set of measuring spoons for
each desk, ten measuring cups and ten
biscuit cutters which were highly ap-
preciated by all.

Two interesting books have been ad-
ded to our library : "The Charm of Fine
Manners", and "Evervdav Alanners".

THE AGGIES NOVEMBER, 1927.

SPORTS

Before school began it seemed as if
athletic sports of all kinds were to
have an nnusnally good year ahead.
A new and good coach had been em-
ployed and many old men were dne
back in all branches of athletics. The
alumni of the school had pledged
themselves to louild a new gymnasium
by the hrst of January and in every
way things looked much brighter.

The first quarter of the year has
passed and the success of all plans
seems assured. Coach Luckey has
turned out the strongest team in many
years of football history. To l)egin
the season the team beat LaGrange for
the first time in ten years and Vv^as the
first team to beat them in four years.
The following week they journeyed to
Rome only to lose the best and hardest
fought game played by A. & M. in two
years at the least. On the next Friday,
Bethlehem College was played at home
and for the first time in many years A.
& M. was outweighed man tor man
and the game resulted in a tie. Dur-
ing Centennial week the Aggies played
Bowdon College only to have the
breaks go against them being beaten
by a team which they were supposed
to outclass in every way. The Seventli
District A. & M., another hereditary
foe, was next on the AAggie program
and was overwhelmingly defeated.
Then came IVlarist when after clearly
outplaying the Collegians for three
quarters they were beaten by a 25 to
14 score. There are only two more
games on the schedule. Powder
Springs at Powder Springs and Ogle-
thorpe Freshmen here Thanksgiving-
day. Every one is especially invited
to come out and see the season closed.

The gymnasium is progressing
rapidly and this season basketball
games will probably be played in it.
Prosi)ects are looking better for a
1)asketball team than for anything
else, as many veteran players are on

hand waiting for. the season to open.
Prospects for track, and baseball
teams are also very good. Many men
on the football team and who will play
on the other teams will be back next
vear so look out for A. & M..
