Treece, Stapleton Are Chairman Of Seal Sales
Dr. E. L. Treece, professor of bacteriology, and Miss Joie Stapleton, assistant professor of physical education, are the University chairmen for the annual Christmas seal sale on the campus which started this week. Dr. Treece has charge of the faculty contributions, and Miss Stapleton is student chairman.
The Public Relations committee of the All-student Council will announce the plan of the Christmas seal drive in a meeting in the Union building at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Mrs. Seba Eldridge, chairman of the Douglas County Tuberculosis and Health association, will outline the program to the committee. Eugenia Hepworth, president of the Union Activities will be in charge of the meeting.
Faculty Has Given $150
Dr. Trecee reported today that contributions for the drive from letters sent out to the faculty and employees of the University amount to $150.
The proceeds of the drive will finance the work of the Douglas County Tuberculosis and Health association during the coming year. The program of the association provides for a chest clinic each month under the direction of Dr. C. F. Taylor, Norton. Last year 399 persons used the clinic.
Cigarettes were table prizes at a card party sponsored by the College Girls Club at Chicago University.
The county health unit and the state board of health cooperated last summer in a drive in which 2,808 persons were X-rayed. Cases Have Increased Since the War
Cases Have Increased Since the War Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service of Watkins Memorial hospital, advocated a 100 per cent contribution from University students in a statement today. He said that since the war there has been an increase in the number of tuberculosis cases reported. This is probably due to the increased physical activity of the nation, the mixing of the population, and the discovery of many cases in the physical examinations of service men that would not have been found otherwise. Dr. Canuteson said.
For the past year the staff of the Watkins Memorial hospital has made a hundred per cent contribution in the Christmas seal drives.
Committee Decides Tickets Are Void
Cigarettes as Table Prizes
A letter to the business office explaining that those tickets that were issued to parkers who had made their application before Nov. 10 are to be void, has been sent by the parking committee of the Student Council, according to Patricia Graham, committee chairman.
Members of the parking committee of the Student Council include: Jack Button, Beverly Waters, and Patricia Graham, chairman.
These tickets were issued after the students had made their application for permits but had not received them.
The committee is planning to appoint a student court to handle the problems that arise from the parking situation.
Department Will Use Visual Instruction As Aid in Teaching
The department of journalism is extending its efforts to use visual instruction as a teaching aid this semester, Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department, said today.
The department has rented three films from the "March of Time" Forum edition. The first of these films, "Canada," will be shown Dec. 18. The film is one of eight films that the editors of March of Time have selected from their 13 regular yearly issues because they offer the most outstanding educational material.
The films have been re-edited and a special commentary has been prepared for college and forum groups. This film on Canada views Canada from the geographical and historical standpoints. It shows the four main divisions of Canada, the swift industrialization during the war years, the products that go overseas to feed Britain, and Canada's strategic position on the air routes over the roof of the world.
A film on New England will be shown Jan. 8, and the third film on Brazil, is scheduled to be shown Feb. 5. Mr. Beth said. The department of journalism is inviting the departments of social science as their guests at the showing of these films

Yanks Advance On Reich Front, Retreat in Italv
Improving weather on the western front enabled Allied armies to forge new advances as thousands of fighting aircraft rained overhead in all sectors.

The U.S. third army fought its way to points 16 miles south of Strasbourg, while the U.S. seventh army met heavy opposition while striving for a junction with the French first army moving northward from the liberated Belfort Gap. Germans Recapture Two Cities
The U. S. ninth army lashed out toward the northeast from the Gel-senkirche sector in a new drive along the Roer river, while the U.S. first army blasted its way ahead west of Aachen.
The Nazi launched a violent counter attack against the fifth army in Italy and finally recaptured the towns of Belvedore and Corona in the most intense enemy activity on the Italian front in many weeks. Terrific German counter attacks against the British eighth army proved futile.
The Russians opened a smashing new rive against the Germans in southern Hungary, smashing across the Danube south of Budapest along a 93-mile front for gains of 25 miles.
Ground troops in the Philippines were still bogged down by record rains but a smashing American air attack against a Japanese reinforcement convoy destroyed 4,000 Jap soldiers and 13 ships, including three destroyers.

"There are senses of pressure, cold, warmth and pain, each of which is distinctly separate and inescapable of producing one of the other three sensations," he said. "In addition to these are the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, kinesesthesis or muscular sense, equilibrium, and the internal organic sense, which transmits sensations such as hunger, thirst, and sex."

Professor Says There Are Thirteen Human Senses
Discussing human abilities involving these senses, Seashore said that recent experiments indicate that many abilities hitherto commonly believed to be solely inherited, can be developed.
Meanwhile, Washington revealed that all of the B-29 superfortresses which blasted Tokyo in a night raid Wednesday, the third attack on the Japanese capital in six days returned safely to their bases in Siawan.
Evanston, Ill.—(ACP)—Contrary to the popular belief that humans have only five senses, they are known to have at least 11 and possibly 13, Dr. Robert H. Seashore, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, said recently.
Addressing the Northwestern chapter of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific research organization, on "Experimental Analysis of Human Abilities." Seashore said that there is no single sense of touch, but rather there are four such senses.
it has been discovered that in tests of pitch discrimination, individuals in the lowest 25 per cent of a group usually can be trained until they are in the highest 25 per cent," he said. He added, however, that training often must be individualized, and added that experiments have yet to be conducted with many of the human abilities.
Results of this type of experiments will enable vocational counselors to tell an individual more accurately which vocational abilities he can develop most easily and how much time and expense will probably be required, he said.
Analyzing tests for vocational guidance, Seashore said that the most useful yet discovered are tests of vocational interests and intelligence
"Recent experiments indicate that some abilities can be developed faster and to a larger extent than others," he said. "For example, some abilities, such as reading comprehension, usually requires months before improvement is significant, whereas others, such as pitch discrimination, might require only five to ten hours."

Justice's Death Holds Up Trial
Washington—(INS)—Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher, 66, died suddenly in Washington early today, halting the government mass sedition trial over which he had presided for the past eight months.
His death is expected to automatically terminate the sedition trial, involving 26 defendants, which will have to be started anew unless government and defense attorneys can agree on a substitute jurist to continue hearings. The latter course was considered unlikely although a one week recess had been declared.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor in the department of design, has announced the placement of six graduates.
Justice Eicher was born on Dec. 16, 1878, in Noble, Iowa. He was a student at Washington academy, in Iowa and Morgan Park academy, in Illinois. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago in 1904 and was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1906. From 1907 until 1909 he was assistant registrar at the University of Chicago.

The War Bond Dance will be Dec.
8 in Hoch auditorium following the basketball game, and it will last until 12 p.m. Donald Cousins and his Navy orchestra will provide the music.
Booths for the purchase of stamps and bonds in Frank Strong hall and Fraser hall will be manned by various sorority and independent women, who are members of C.V.C. Beverly Jane Waters has stated that bonds and stamps may be obtained anytime during the day from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. during the drive. Jean O'Connor is to be in charge of the administrative features of this concentrated drive.
A queen will be elected at the dance from the candidates submitted by the sorority and independent houses. Each house may have one candidate, and the name of this candidate must be given to Miss Waters by Friday morning, Dec. 1. The queen will be selected on the basis of the total number of votes cast at the Bond dance.
Tables will be provided, and faculty members will handle the purchase of the various stamps and applications for bonds. For each ten cent stamp purchased one vote may be cast for the queen. The denomination of the bond will determine the number of votes which can be cast. For example a $75 bond will permit the purchaser 750 votes. One must buy a 25 cent war stamp or admittance to the dance.
Capt. C. A. Michelman has agreed that the Navy men will be granted liberty in order that they may attend the dance. A special table will be provided for these men, at which they will show a receipt for the bonds they have purchased through Naval sources. This receipt will enable them to cast their votes for the queen.
C. V.C. has requested that all purchasers of bonds will please make out their checks to the Postmaster, Lawrence, Kan.
British Not Allowed To Re-export Goods
Washington—(INS) —The United States today closed the door on reported British requests for permission to re-export commercial articles received under American lend-lease. At the same time it was revealed that shipments to the United kingdom are expected to be cut in half when the European war ends, and that after the first of the year exports to the United Kingdom of some raw and fabricated materials, such as iron and steel, will be discontinued.
The statement was made by a special committee which emphasized that lend-lease has been extended "for one purpose and for one purpose only. The defense of the United States and to enable our Allies to bring the full weight of their men and resources to bear against our common enemy."
The U.S. armed forces reached an all time high of 11,859,000 men Oct. 1.
