BUCK'S BARBER SHOP ALL HAIR CUTS-25 CENTS With Charlie & Monroe Barbers 1205 Lady Street Just Back of National Liquor Store CAROLINA STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT CAPITOL CAFE COLUMRTA'S OLDEST Clum&bl..S~ j Sugar-Making Explaine. Professor J. L. Moore Accompanies Purifies 2,500,000 Pounds C More water than is used daily by the city of Columbia is used every twelve hours by the Savannah Sugar Refinery in the process of purifying 2,500,000 u pounds of raw Cuban sugar for domestic consumption. This and many other interesting facts were revealed to the group of univer sity chemistry students who recently vis ited the sugar refinery and Dr. Herty's paper plant at Savannah, Ga. and the t Standard Oil Co.'s plant -as Charleston, S. C. The raw sugar in lots of 30,000 bags each weighing about 325 lbs.-is santipled by the U. S. Customs officials for duty purposes, about $22,500, being paid to the government each day. The sugar is next mixed with syrup and sent to the centrifugal .machines where many of the impurities are re moved. The sugar entering is of a (lark brown color but the sugar leaving is of a light brown or yellow tint. This light yellow sugar is now melted with water, heated and run through the filter presses. Here all mechanical im purities are taken out and the liquor comes out very brilliant, stesilized and of a light amber color. In order to change the light amber col ored liquor to a beautiful white, bone char is used. The bone char is in cisterns, each contaihing 60,000 lbs. of char. After slowly trickling through a filter of this bone char the sugar liquor comes out with Texas Prof. Fools Class Baffles Greek Students Learned Pedagogue Declares No Such Thing As A Zero Year Austin, Texas (ACP)-Did the 20th century begin Jan. 1, 1900, or Jan. 1, 1901 ? A University of Texas professor baf fled a class in Greek history with this question the other day. Half the class voted Jan. 1, 1900, while the other half wouldn't comment. The learned pedagogue finally told the boys and girls. "There's no such thing as a zero year," he said. "Did you ever stop to think of the year 1 A.D.? Now think about 100 A.D., and you'll see only 99 years passed between Jan. 1, 1 A.D., and Jan. 1, 100 A.D. Therefore,. Jan. 1, 101 is the (late that marked the exact passing of the first cen tury after Christ, and the 20th century began Jan. 1, 1901. IAuthor Praises Slang_Phrases ToCollege Students Anderson Describes Expression "Oh! Yeah" As Eloquent New York (AC P)-Twvo slang phrases of the hour-"Oh, yeah ?" and "iIe can take it"-were lauded by Robert Gordon Andlerson, author andl newspaperman, in a recent add(ress to I lunter College stu dents. " 'Oh, yea ?' is not ridiculous," Ander son said. "It is tragic in its implications. It is as eloquent of world weariness as the bitterest cry of the disillusioned from Ecclesiastes dlown to Dreiser and Lewvis. "It bristles wvith challenge, as the young men cry: "Why have you slain our il lusions? Why have you killed our faith?'" Nor was there anything new in "I Ie can take it," Anderson dleclaredl, pointing to the analogy between it and the spirit the Victorians applauded in Henley's line, "Bieneath the bludgeoning of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed."

But like so many such, Governor llerring has to be approached with stealth and circum spect ion. And that is the way his youngest son, a student at the University of Iowa, ap proached his father while asking for money recently. The student's letter went like this: "Well-beloved father : I have not a penny, nor can I get any save through you, for all things at the university are so dear; nor can I study in -ny code or my digest for they are all tattered. More over, I owe 10 crowns in dues to the pro vost and can find no man to lend it me. I send you word of greetings and of money. "The student hath need of many things if he will profit here; his father and his kin must needs supply him freely that he be not compelled to pawn his bojoks, but have ready money in his purse, wit'l gowns and furs and decent clothing, or he will be damned for a beggar; where fore that men may not take me for a beast, I send you word of greetings and of money. "Food is dear and other good things; I owe in every street and an hard bested to free myself of such snares. Dear father, deign to help me ! Grant my sup plication for I send you word of greetings and of money. "Well beloved-father, to ease my debts contracted at the inn, with the doctor, and to pay my subscriptions to the laun dress and the barber, I sen(] you word of greetings and of money." Commenting that the letter "apparently shows profound study of classical style," the governor remarked, "the screed hath r netted him 10 wheels, but it will be folly for him to try the dodge again.'' o.
