CHEMISTRY AND
FOOD MIXED AT
WOMAN'S CLUB
BY KORA HENRY MEACHAM.

Chemistry and its service to man
kind was the topic of a very illum-
mating talk before the Woman's
club, on Friday afternoon, by DR..
John d. Clark, of the university.
| 1t was domestic science day and
| DR.. Clark devoted some time to the
matter Of chemistry as it related
to food. "A chemist was once con-
sidered part druggist, part magician
and the rest perhaps veterinary
surgeon" said the speaker.
Some of the things the chemist
has done for us in recent years are
to give us washed air to breathe in
public buildings; he has, with the
aid of the medical profession,
found a way of taking from many
useful drugs the by-products that
are deleterious; the cure of some
cases of leprosy has been accom-
lplished through the chemist investi-
cations and deductions; textiles are
made under chemical control.
New Mexico is found to have
all the materials to make Portland
cement and We could builG pyra-
mids like the ancient pyramids of
it. IL We had nothing better to do.
Modern art owes much to the
chemist that he has made fadeless
| paint and ever-wear canvas on
which to put the artists dreams.
The daily marvel of the ability of
, the Ford always to come back, no
matter how badly bent, is due to
the mixture or radium with the
steel; a similar treatment of heavy
metal makes the aeroplane light
enough to stay in the air and the
problem of breathing in the subma-
rine, many miles underwater, has
been solved by the aid Of the chem
! ist."
The program was in charge OF
Mrs. c. o. Clark and Mrs. Charlotte
| b. Moore sang two very exquisite
numbers with Miss Helen Gurule
at the piano. The food demon
stration was apple pie a-la-mode
and coffee and was served by
Mesdames S. r. Vann, r. s. Donnell.
c. II. Conner, Van Vieson and Harry
Strong.
The Old Times concert will be

| federation of clubs which meets

large crowd Is expected, as this IS
one of the most popular features
the Woman's club has ever pre-
scented to the public. On Friday
afternoon, preceding the concert,
there will be the annual sale of art
things as produced by the Woman's
club during the year, under the
instruction of Mrs. Inez Westlake.
The ticket selling committee for
the charity ball report total sale
of tickets amounting to $3.50. Those
who reported their individual sales
were the following: Mrs. G. II.
Conner, SIS; Mrs. Leila Armijo.
S42; Mrs. Alta Hawker, $50. A
committee of women made the
occasion of the charity ball the OPP
|portunity to solicit funds for the
day nursery, but as this was not au-
)thorized by the club and has no
connection with the ball, the board
of managers of the club voted to
accept all money received for
tickets and that the above mem
toned donations be received and
acknowledged by the day nursery
board. The club wishes to thank
the public in general and the Bust
ness and Professional Woman's
club for their aid in this affair and
especial thanks are offered the
carpenters union who claimed a
preponderance of wood in their feet
land SO could not dance but sent the
Worlan's club their check for SIS.
