New Bulletin Published On Prospecting Methods
New and more rapid methods of prospecting for zinc and lead ores much needed in the present war program, are described in a bulletin just published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas and the University Engineering Experiment Station. The report was prepared by J. J. Jakosky, Dean of the School of Engineering at the University and Director of the
Experiment Station, and R. M. Dreyer and Clyde Wilson of the Geological Survey staff. It reports the results of electrical resistivity, geothermal, geochemical, magnetic, and gravinometric surveys conducted in the tri-state zinc and lead mining district, particularly in Cherokee county, Kansas. Methods that can be used to guide test drilling operations are pointed out.
The field work on which the report is based was carried on during the summer and fall of 1941 by the Geological Survey and Experiment Station in cooperation with the Tri State Lead and Zinc Producers' Association and the Kansas Industrial Development Commission. Maurice Wallace, of the Geological Survey staff, made spectrographic analyses of soil samples to determine the metal content of the material overlying the ore bodies.
This report is of special significance at the present time because of the great need for zinc in war industries. In order to supply the ever increasing demand for this metal, faster methods of exploration for ore bodies must be used. The authors have developed new methods that may prove of great importance in this respect.
WPB Will Bring Back Few Consumer Items
Washington, (INS) Donald M. Nelson disclosed today that WPB is planning to bring certain consumer items back into production to aid in maintaining "a strong and healthy civilian economy."
The War Production board chairman cited domestic refrigerators as one of the items receiving careful consideration and recalled that WPB already has authorized manufacture of 1,700,000 "Victory model" alarm clocks, the first of which will be on sale about April 1.
"We are making studies constantly on what items which have been cut out need to be brought back into production," he said. "We plan to reconvert plants if war production will allow it and we need the item."

Dent Is Head Of Visual Work
Ellsworth C. Dent, former head of the University bureau of visual instruction, has been appointed general manager of the Society for Visual Education, Inc., Chicago, it was announced by Miss Marie Witham, president of the society. He will begin his new duties in April.
After receiving his early education at the Kansas State Teachers' College of Emporia, Mr. Dent did graduate work in education here while in charge of the bureau of visual instruction, a service organization for the schools of Kansas.
During his ten years at the University, he expanded the visual instruction services to meet the growing needs of the schools, including the establishment of one of the first loan libraries of educational slide-films.
Mr. Dent is known for his demonstration-lectures on the applications of visual aids to instruction. He has written numerous articles on visual aids to instruction in educational and trade publications.
Miss Witham, president of the visual society, said, "The addition of Mr. Dent to our organization will place us in a better position to serve the training units of the armed forces until the war is won. At the same time, his broad experience will aid us in making appropriate plans for the expected post-war increase in the use of visual aids and equipment among schools, churches, homes, and in industry."
Edmonds Discussed Pressure Techniques At Physics Colloquium
The topic of Mr. Edmonds discussion was "Techniques in the Field of High Pressures," in which he described means of creating and measuring pressures as high as 687,000 pounds per square inch.
Vaughan W. Edmonds, assistant instructor in physics, spoke before the regular physics colloquium yesterday.
Pressures of this order are now being used by scientists in the study of polymorphic transitions, Mr. Edmonds explained. Mr. Edmonds stated, as an example, that ice, under a pressure of 30,250 pounds per square inch, increased in density, and melted at a temperature in excess of 350 degrees.

'Racial Differences Are Only Skin-Deep'
Biologically there are few racial differences between peoples and the whole question of race—a human invention—has been darkened by propaganda, believes a University of Chicago educator.
"Skin color, hair form, and the shape of the nose and lips enter into our awareness and become connected with our attitudes and judgements," Dean Redfield says.
Deep inside the human bodies there are few racial differences—they're mostly in the outermost layer—in opinion of Robert Redfield, dean of the university's division of social sciences.
"Yet, except in terms of the attention paid to them, these characteristics have no consequence in human behavior.
"The anthropologists tell us that the Jews are not a race. They are not a biological race because the people known as Jews are not enough like each other and are too much like other people to be such a race.
"But as people act with reference to Jews they are a socially supposed race. Thus, the beliefs of people about the physical features of race become a sort of false science, that might be termed a modern mythology."
"The people of this country are determined to win this war," he said. "It is clearly to their own interest to do so. Yet white men stop work in war industries because Negroes are employed to work beside them, and the best man for a wartime position may be passed over because he is a Jew."

Miss McHue's cries for help yesterday brought passersby running to her aid. They found her trying to untangle the harness of a horse lying on the ground.
Justice of the Peace Harold C. Sorenson considered invoking an antiquated highway law that prescribed a penalty for driving while intoxicated but decided to fine Miss McHue $10 after she pleaded guilty to public intoxication.

Former Illinois Governor Dies
Is Australia's Inspiring Force Canberra, Australia — Prime Minister John Curtin recently said concerning the allied leaders: "General Douglas MacArthur not only has been a great organizer against our common enemy but has become the inspiring force of this nation."
Frank O. Lowden, governor of Illinois during the first world war, and a leader for many years in the Republican party, died yesterday at a hotel in Arizona where he spent his winters. He was 82 years old.
Ill but two weeks of pneumonia, the one-time powerful down-state political leader who was as near to the presidency of the United States as any one without attaining it, died before relatives reached his bedside from the home in Oregon, Ill.
Although quite feeble all winter, Mr. Lowden granted the yearly interview to Arizona newspaper men. In this report he advocated a "cooling off period" at the end of this war before final conditions of the peace were determined. He declared that enduring peace could come only if the Allies apropore the peace table without rancor or passion.
