aren't pleasant when / go out there
with them. What is best for me
to do?
Ans: You might talk things over
with these people and let them
know how much you hated the
place last year and l believe things
will turn out very favorable for
you. It appears that you will go
off for a while this summer.
predict a very enjoyable time for
you.
H. H.: Has my wife ever been
any good? What will be the out
turn of my married life?
Ans: The road that you are
both travelling leads straight to the
divorce courts. Your wife hasn't
played the game fair but then,
neither have you. Another mar
riage is indicated for you later in
life and this time YOU WILL
FIND HAPPINESS.
M. M. W.: Dear Adviser: I
want to know if I am going to live
in this town much longer. Most
all the folks are old here, all the
young ones have moved away. My
husband don't hardly make enough
to live on.
Ans: Right at this time it would
be unwise and unfair to your hus-
band to move. Wait at least un-
til the summer is over and then
make what changes you have in
mind. Whatever your husband
does advise him not to quit his job
just yet.
o. I. B.: This is my second year
in college. My parents can hardly
keep me in school. Would I have
any trouble to get job and help
them or should l wait until I finish
my Junior year?
Ans: It's no disgrace to be poor.
Why not try to get a part time"
job, enough to help pay your own
way through school. 1t would be
a mistake to quit outright :. but
it would be a very cOmmendable
move on your part to shoulder
some of the financial responsibility
of your education.

Is From Powder
Resembling Cooking Soda

Aluminium Is From Powder
Resembling Cooking Soda
Aluminium comes from the oxide
alurnina-a fine white powder that
resembles cooking soda. Alumina
comprises about 8 per cent of the
earth's crust. Iron is the next most
abundant and comprises about 51S
per cent. Alumina is the basis of
all clay. which itself is produced
by the spontaneous decomposition
Of granite and similar rocks. In
free state, alumina occurs in the
form of carborundum and is emery,
the common kind used for polish
ing.
Aluminium and oxygen mixed, to-
gether with a little foreign matter
to add coloring, make artificial ru-
bies and sapphires. The making of
such compositions was one of the
first uses of aluminium, states a
writer in the Washington Star.
A German scientist, Frederick
Woehler, was the first to extract
aluminium from the earth. De Vile,
a French chemist, was the first to
place the metal on commercial
scale, having undertaken expert
mentS at the request of Napoleon
III, emperor of France. Unable to
produce the metal in large quaint
ties, commercial possibilities never
went beyond the use of jewelry.
For half century chemists in many
parts of Europe struggled to get the
metal in large amounts out of the
most abundant -alumina.
This struggle was ended February
10, 1866, through the genius of
chemically minded young Ameri-
can, Charles Martin Hall, student
Of Oberlin college.
Hall conceived the idea of using
electricity. He had learned that
alumina could not be electrically
isolated in the presence of water,
and that it would not dissolve in
any common solvent such as alco-
hol, ether or benzol.

Hello Everybody:

With big bunch of hlacs at my elbow and
plans all made for a weekend of rest and fun,
and a fishing trip for Decoration Day thrown
in, can pass on to you all the exuberance
and exhilaration I am feeling towards spring
and everything else. Especially everything
else). . Last weekend the Phyllis Wheatley
Staff got away from the eternal grind of
everyday life and had wonderful outing at
Lyman Lodge on the beautiful Lake Mime
tonka. The rain had pity on US and let up for
actually one day so in the afternoon some of
the bravest siezed the oars and padded the
lake. Even the sun felt little sorry and
crept out to give our tired souls welcome.
The food was perfect and the best part of the
trip was the shower given to our little lovely
June bride, MARGE CARTER. She received
all sorts of gifts, most of which can be used
