HALL REFINING OF COTTON IN CONCERT FRIDAY SPEAKER OF MORNING, SEED OIL EXPLAINED Organization of Thirty Members Will | | Sunday School Classes and Evening] Dvsitersisl Present Program of Negro Folk | Lore and Music. | The Prairie View College Choral | Club will appear in concert here on|as Christian University, Fort Worth, in | will speak at the regular convoca- tion in Guion Hall this morning at Friday evening at 8:00 o’clock the Assembly Hall, under the aus- pices of the local Y. M. C. A., with] a varied program of negro spiritual | and folk songs, featuring “It Aint Gonna Rain No More.” The pro- ceeds of the concert will be divided | between the Y.M.C.A. and the Club. | The Club is composed of thirty | study this morning, convening at 9:15. | and includes a) The Methodists meet at the Taher-| members this year, male quartet, a mixed quartet, and several soloists. The organizaticn made a good impression here last year with a much smaller member- | ship, and since the increase in mem- bership and the fact that they have] been coached this year by a graduate | of the Boston Conservatory of Mu- | sic, it is only reasonable to expect | that they will be even more popular | this year, The same rich bass and | the lyric soprano that won so much | applause last year will appear in the | program Friday, | | Before the Club was invited to! appear here a committee of students | accompanied by W. H. Matthews, sec- | retary of the Y.M.C.A. and B. F. | Harrison, supervising accountant of the branch Colleges, went to Prairie | View and heard the Club in a trial performance, which was entirely sat- isfactory. There is nothing more popular with a southern audience than the original negro folk lore told in song and story, and no one can quite successfully imitate the negro in his own field. | Oppcrtunities of hearing really good negro groups are rare, and for that reason a concert of this kind is all | the more appreciated. | The Y.M.C.A. will add all proceeds | from the concert to the fund which is | being raised to finish payment on the . new Ampico piano, and the Club will add their share to the amount being raised for a Y.M.C.A. building at Pra- | irie View. All seats in the Assembly Hall will be reserved, and will go on | sale tomorrow at the Y.M.C.A. The | price is 50¢. | program Rev. Powell will speak. Iiv- | eryone is cordially invited.

The process of refining cotton seed oil which is the greatest business of the chemist in the industry created from the use of the cotton seed was exjdained to the students of chemis- try and chemical engineering cf the College Friday afternoon by P. S. | Tilson, owner of the Houston Labor- | atories and former prcfessor of chem- istry of the College. The lecture was | the fourth of the course instituted [in this College by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association and the speaker was brought here through ccoperation with Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The agent in the refining of the oil product of cotton seed is caustic soda Mr. Tilson explained. As far the crude oil was re- fined by the use of the caustic soda and a better process has never been discovered. In general the process f refining as explained by Mr. Til- son is the heating and agitation of a r, | great kettle of the crude oil and the introduction of the caustic soda by suffusing over the surface. The caus- tic combines with the free fatty acid present in the crude oil as a result of the decomposition ¢f the origin- ally neutral oil, this combination set. tles to the bottom as a true soap and { the thin refined oil is drained off. This refined product is then pumred to a finishing tank where the excess of alkili and all traces cf water are eliminated. Enumerating the valuable contri- bution of the chemist to the industry Mr. Tilson mentioned the scientific application of bleaching material which improves the yellow oil to a clear white substance, the develop- ment of methods fcr deodorization and improvement of the flavor of the oil, and the latest contribution which is the hydrogenation of the oil by means of which it is converted into a solid fat, enabling the manufacturer to turn out semi-solid compounds con- sisting entirely of vegetable fats or oil.
