G. CROFT WILLIAMS
SPEAKS AT "Y" MEET
The Y. Al. C. A. held its regular
meeting on Wednesday night.
'I'here was a good attendance of
students who enjoyed a most
interesting lecture by Air. G.
Croft Williams. secretary of the
State Board of Welfare. Mr.
Williams gave a very remarkable
address on inter-racial coopera
tion.
MIr. Williams told of his expe
riences in dealing with the Negro
problem in his work and also
gave his views on how this
race should be treated by the
white race. Stating that we. the
white people. being responsible
for the negroes' heing here, we
should do all in our power to
treat him as a human being.
Schools and churches should be
provided for them and an effo'rt
made to elevate them.
Ir. Williams emphasized the
fact that the negro should receive
justice at the hands of the whites
at all times. Mluch progress has
been made in the last two years
along this line and it is hoped
that this will continue, as there
is much need for such improve
ment.
After the close of the lecture
a very delight ful solo was ren
dered by Miss .\cLaughlin of
Chicora College.
ALUMNI MAKES PLANS

to make this year's "home com
ing" the greatest ever, and it is
expected that a very large num

for the occasion. Every old
Carolina student can rest assured
of a great time in June and a
great d eal of interest is being

What Makes the Firefly
Glow?
OU can hodi a firefly in your hand; you
can boil water with an electric lamp.
Nature long ago evolved the "cold light."
The firefly, according to Ives and Coblentz,
radiates ninety-six percent light and only four
percent heat. Man's best lamp radiates more
than niacty percent heat.
An English physicist om-e said that if we knew
the firefly's secret, a boy turning a crank could
light up a whole street. Great as is the advance
in lighting that has been made through research
within the last twenty years, man wastes far too
much energy in obtaining light.
This problem of the "cold light" cannot be
solved merely by trying to improve existing
power-generating machinery and existing lamps.
We should still be burning candles if chemists
and physicists had confined their researches to
the improvement of mnatcrials and methods for
making candles.
For these reasons, the Research Laboratories of the
General Electric Company are not limited in the scope
of their investigations. Research consists in framing
questions of the right kind and in finding the answers,
no matter where they may lead.
What makes the firefly glow? Hlow does a .ey'
light differ in color from that of an electric arc, and why?
The answers to such quiestions may or may not be of
practical value, but of this we may be sure--it is by.
dovetailing the results of "theoretical" investigations
along many widely separated litnes that we arrive at
most of our nmodern "practical" dliscoverI:'s.
What will be the light of the future? Will it be like
that of the firefly or like thai of the dial on a luminous
watch? Will it be produced in a lamp at present un
dreamed of, or will it come from sonmething resembling
our present incandescent lamp? The answers to these
questions will dlepen-l much more upon the results of
research in pure scnce thant upon strictly commercial
researchl
