C. Floyd Hester director of the
southwest area of the United States
for the Student Friendship Fund
spoke in chapel at Daniel Baker on
Wednesday morning March 20 In
the Interest or a world-wide more
ment to aid the most needy students
or central Europe Russia and the
Near East. Ho told an Interesting
story or the nltlable nllaht of mn.
dents in the European countries
speaking after four yearn of expert
ence in Siberia North China and
husbisj as well as the nrlnclnal uni
versity centers or Europe. The speak-
er himself Is an ilumnus or Wosleyan
Aicinoaist college or Net York Ober-
lln college In Ohio and the Unlverslt)
or Washington.
"These local camnalcns form narl
or not only a nation wide hut r
world wide movement to aid the most
needy or the students and professor
In the Central Europe Rusla and
the Near Bast" Mr. Hester sold. "The
universities or Missouri Arkansas and
Texas are making arrangements tt
hold thoir campaigns this month while
tne university or Oklahoma and man)
large schools In the East have alread)
coinpieieu tneirs.
"During the last three venra ovei
si.ouu.uuu lias Been il str Ibnteil thrt
the European Sturent Relief or Stu-
dent Friendship Fund an It called it
America. Aid has been (given t(
105000 students In 200 Institutlonr
scattered through 19 dlffront Europe
an countries. Meals numbering 22-
234345 have been served medical all
has been given clothing has bcei
distributed and self hely and student
service enterprises have been dc
veloped such as laundries book bind
erles shoe repair shops.
"Pauprlslng chalrty In strict!?
avoldd. Only those who use even
possible means to heln themselvci
may be candidates for aid. Further
more relief is given wholly on thi
basin or need wlthoue distinction at
to race color nationality creed oi
political affiliation. The inslstenc
that students work has been ono'o'
the greatest factors In effecting the
sturent revolution In Europe. Th'
work student Is now admired am
respected. ..
"In Russia students make tin nar
of the crowd which throngs the rail
way stations every night while otb
ers sleep In - partly finished house'
and even sheltered portions of bridl
es. Text books are scarce and rev
have sufficient clothing for the win
ter. There are 31000 Russian stu
dents who have only one mead a da?
and that Is received from the Europ
ean Student Relief kitchens at a cor
to the 'fund of qnly 5 cents per da?
This slight aid plvcs them strongt'
the pursue their studies In ngrlcul
ture medicine education and engin
eerinir.
"The conditions In Central Europi
arc little better and in some part
even worse than in Russia. The cmor
moiiH depreciation of currencies ha-
thrown both students and professor.'
Into tho most desperate struggle fc
existence. . President MacCrackon o
Vassar college who lectured thl'
summer in 15 of the principal unl
verslty centers of Europe tells o
finding porters in Lelpslg who were
university professors with degree o'
Ph. and F.LI). In other places hi
found them washing bottles In res-
taurants nnd doing nil kinds of worl
to help support their families. Whet
I arrived at the depot In Dresden till
summer a German who spoke Englls'
asked mo if I desired lodging fo
the night. I replied in tho nfllrmatlvi
and inquired concerning his hotel
but we have prepared part of th'
rooms in our flat to be used for hote
purposes. T am a professor or math
ematics (about flfy-flve years of age
I should Judge) but my profession w
longer brings me an Income and )
must resort to other means. I mee
trains to drum up trade." An Itallai
who was passing through 'Germans
recently anld an lie observed tho grea'
needs: 'Politically I have no rcasor
to love Germany but in the name o
humanity can't something be done?'
Whatever Is done rests largely In the
hands of American student. Througl
the student friendship fund they hav
come to the rescue during prevlour
emergencies nnd surely they will no
fail now when the need Is grcate
than ever. Aside from the destitut'
native students there are 14000 ref
ugee students in Central Europe wh
are homeless and without funds.
"Not only Is the help brought ti
the destitute students and professor!
Important but equally so Is the splr
It or friendship and good will tha
gees with the help and has alread)
snreod to students of many land1
giving promise of a hopeful future'
He said.
i
thinking and refuse to b bemad by
the conventional the hldebouad
orthodox professor saw fit to fail m
In the conre. I really think it whs
Jealousy on hla part because he la
arraid or a student who is briniant
aa i am.
I am not -asking you to comment
In any way on my answers nor do I
expect a repiy to this letter If you are
too busy. I am merely sending thla to
snow now poony some or ua scient-
ists are treated even by men who
are supposed to have the scientific
viewpoint.

What Is a Vacuum?
A vacuum In nothln at all. Tha
work vacuum in the scientific name
for nothing. Now In science we know
that you either have something or
else you have nothing. If yon have
something you can see It! feel or
maybe smell It. Usually If you have
Homethlna;. such as a erow-har nr
lead pencil you can have It Ivlna-
tround anywhere. Then you can come
back and find this thlna where you
left it unless somebody else' picks It
up an they usually do nenclls. nut
r you hove n vnccum you have a hard
iime Keeping u. nature annorn a
racuum. ir you want to keep your
vacuum you nave to put it into some-
thing. That is a great fact we learn
In science. A vacuum won't stay by
'tseir.
or course there are two kinds or
racuum high and low. This Is anoth-
r truth of science that we have two
kinds of nothing. What this really
means Is that you don't have two kinds
)f nothing but different amounts of
nothing. A high vaccum means in
ilntn English that you have a whole
lot of nothing and n low vacuum
-neans that you don't have no much or
lowing.

CHEMISTRY OF THE IVORY NOT

My dear Mr. Editor:
I am a beginning atudent or chem
Istry In one or our large state uni-
versities and I have1 heard that voi
are a vary wonderful scientist. I atr
writing to you taerefore for somi
unbased advice on which ! a pooi
young scientist can relp: I have
round during my abort stay at thli
great university that certain memberi
of the faculty are not aa brbad-mlnd
ad aa on would exnect such men tt
be I have found' some of these raer
very RrJudtcd and not capable o)
following sclentl'c reasoning. I have
tlwaya iagiad that aoteatlata as a

cuiar; r avov aucn petty thlngr

But to come to the real reason .foi
writing to you I have Just recently
II
What in an Acid?
An acid is 'a chemical. It Is a
(quid. Of rourso there may be acids
vhlch ore not liquids but you don't
wiun uicj uru uciun mull jnu pm
hem in water. Then you can tell by
neir chemical properties that they
ire acids. Au acid contains hydrogen
another chemical but everything
which contains hydrogen is not an
teld. It takes a chemist to tell
whether a thing which contains hyd-
rogen Is an acid.
We have two kinds or acids strong
ina wean ny this I don't mean that
i! strong add is better than a weak
acid but it can do more Just aa a
ttrong man can do more work than a
weak man. You can tell whether
in acid In strong or .weak by letting
t work on a metal if you take the
right metal. Some metals won't let
iclds work on them so you can t test
in acid with-these metals. l takes
i chemist to know what metal to use
o test an acid.
III
Explain the Two Gas Laws
There are two laws which gases
nust obey in chemistry. These lawa
vere mado by. Mr. Boyle and Mr.
Charles. There was also a French-
nan who made a luw like Mr. Charles'
aw but only the gases In France
mvo to obey this law. All other
.uses have to obey Mr. Charles' law.
Vhun wo say In chemliitry that n gas
nuMl obey u law we don't mean that
ho gus Is n criminal If It doesn't obey
his law. Yon can't arreut a gas for
itealing. It the gas won't obey the
.aw you Just let It go on being bad
tnd you don't do anything about It.
Mr. Boyles law says that all gases
Tiuxt shrink when yon push them.
That's natural for everything either
ihrlnks when you push it or else It
)ulges out on the other side Gases
vould bulge out on the other side too
ut It's against the law so tuey nave
o shrink up. Mr. uoyie .maue tnis
aw one hundred years ago but tho
eases still have to obey It.
Mr. Charles' law makes the gases
ixpand when they get not. wnen a
luman belnn gets hot he porsplres.
!ow a gas can't sweat! it Isn't made
hat way so when it gets not It swells.
(Ills Is a very handy arrangement be-
ause It would cause a lot of trouble
t neonle expanded Instead or sweat
ing when they got hot. '
IV
Sxplain the Law or Constant Propor-
tion This law makes everything In con-
stant proportion with each other. That
telps a lot. U things were not' In a
constant proportion wo. wouldn't know
tow to go about analysing things.
This law doesn't mean that everything
'.8 In constant proportion. It this
were the case it would mean that
wervbody In the world would have
the same amount or money. That
would be socialism instead ot chemis-
try. ' What this law means-is that If you
take water as a chemical it Isn't wa
.er at all but a mixture ot hydrogen
md oxygen. There is always th
tame amount of hydrogen and oxygen
n the water. Of course there may
le other things in the water. When
ou make coffee you have water there
ind tbo coffee doesn't hurt the water
tny more than It hurts you.
The fact that water Is always the
lame relp a lot. Suppose water could
m anmathlna- else and When you
wanted to take a bath the water had
limed into hydro-chlorio acia. youq
ret clean all rlcht. but this would be
what the chemist calls an acid bath.
fost people and chemists especially
orerer a water nam ratnor man an
acid bath.
