John P. Sousa Comes to Lawrence Dec. 14 on Million-Mile Journey
Veteran Leader Has Traveled
835,000 Miles on Present
Tour to Date
John Philip Sousa, who will appear with his famous band on Monday afternoon Dec. 14, is rounding out a tour in year with a third of a century tour.
He began his musical career at the age of 11 at Washington, as a cymbal player in the U. S. Marine band. In 1886, when he was 25 years old he became this band's leader with the rank of lieutenant. He left this position to organize his own band which at first numbered 39 men. That was in 1872, when he numbered 60, including 30 clarinets, five tutes, 10 saxophones, eight trumpons, 10 trumpets and other instruments in proportion.
One of Mr. Sousa's greatest ambitions is to have his band travel a million miles. It has already gone 385,000 miles on the tour and will add 35,000 more before its journey is finished this year.
Dean Swarthout announces that the concert course tickets are not good for the Sousa concert, but that arrangements have been made whereby holders of these are given priority in reservation of seats.

National Secretary of Y. W. C. A. Appeals for Student Interest
Miss Juliette Derricotte Tells of Better International Relationships
Miss Juliette Derrictoire, national secretary of the Y, W, C, A., made an appeal for student interest in affairs with Mr. Ritchie, president yesterday in Myers hall.
Miss Dorriente was a representative to the World's Student Christian Federation held in High Leigh, England, where she worked for the work of the Federation at that time. She described it as a gathering similar to the World Court met to discuss the possibilities of Christianity and the present moment of international relationships.
It was decided, she said, that three big things stood in the way of Christian understanding (1) the settlement of disputes between nations by war; (2) inter-racial relationships are not as they should be (3) differences in religion are a great obstacle to a feeling of pure brotherhood.
The Federation Miss Derricott called a comradeship. Students from every country that had ever heard of the Christian religion were there. They met on an absolute basis of some which was hard for some of them.
Masie Marie Perry, secretary for the Rocky Mountain region, led the in-depth thoughtful meditation on the world as it is and the various improvements
Each representative carried with him his country's views and there were of course many conflicting ideas, each finding it difficult to see the other's point. But people I see long remain hostile strangers when they were confronted by one another at the six meals that they had to prepare so that they could say no but the friendliest of relations grew out of this gathering.

Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 2, "Fisherman-huck" is a phrase which may soon be scraped, at least as far as commercial fishing is concerned, for the deep sea theremon being in danger of catching cod or haddock in a certain given area.
Observations made in the Strait of Belle Isle and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, showed the Strait served as a water basin for warming layers of tepid water, and in these the codhalf were found. The temperature of the great pools where cod proved thickest was found to be 35°C, whereas the pools where have been found to exert a similar temperature preference as in the case of the cod, although they seem to prefer slightly warmer temperature. It will be observed that far distant when the thermometer will be regarded by fisherfolk as necessary as nets, or baits; and
