Given a choice of a quarter, dime or nickel, he chooses the quarter, which buys five pieces of cheese. The dime or nickel buys only one. The rat does this in the laboratory of Dr. Loh Seng Tsai, professor of psychology at Tulane University. The test shows that rats have a sense of value, Dr. Tsai told the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The rats also learn to use tools as well as coin, all indicating a high rate of intelligence. It’s the first time, he says, that rats have been shown to be able to use tools and tokens. It’s been done with apes and chimpanzees—and other psychologists have trained chimps to use slot machines. Now rats which are cheaper and can be bred to be all alike, can be used for studies of mental processes and behavior in animals, which in turn can help toward a better understanding of the ways and wherefores of the human mind.

Queen Elizabeth II Named 'Woman Of the Year' by Time Magazine NEW YORK, Dec. 30—Queen Elizabeth II of England is Time's "Woman of the Year for 1952," the newsmagazine's editors announced today. A full-color portrait of the 26-year-old ruler, and mother of two, graces the cover of Time's issue out tomorrow. Cover artist Boris Chaliapin's portrait depicts the smiling young Queen against a background of a rose in full bloom. Elizabeth is the first mother to be named in Time's annual choice for newsworthiness. She is the third woman to be chosen. Previously selected were the present Duchess of Windsor (1936), "the woman I love," for whom Elizabeth's Uncle David left England's throne; and Madame Chiang Kal-shek, selected jointly with the Generalissimb (1937) for their leadership of an invaded China. Time's editors call Elizabeth "a fresh young blossom on roots that had weathered many a season of wintry doubt." The newsmagazine's story on Elizabeth's selection quotes Elizabeth in the Royal Family's annual Christmas message: "Many grave problems and difficulties confront us all." Elizabeth told her subjects, "but with a new faith in the old and splendid beliefs given us by our forefathers, and the strength to venture beyond the safeties of the past, I know we shall be worthy of our duty. Above all, we must keep alive that courageous spirit of adventure that is the finest quality of youth." Queen Elizabeth is Time's 26th annual selection. In a cover story on Feb. 18, 1952, on the occasion of her accession to the throne upon her father's death, Time said of her: "The crown remains, the symbol lives." Traditionally the editors have chosen each year figures who "dominated the news of that year and left an indelible mark—for good or ill—on history." Time's annual selections began in 1927, when at year's end the editors found themselves without a suitable candidate for the weekly cover feature. They decided that while no man was suitable for the weekly honor, that, one man, Charles A. Lindberg, who had spanned the Atlantic solo in the "Split of St. Louis," was truly "Man of the Year." In succeeding years the following were named: Walter P. Chrysler, 1928; Owen D. Young, 1929; Mohandas K. Gandhl, 1930; Pierre Laval, 1931; Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1932 and 1934 and 1941; Hugh S. Johnson, 1933; Haile Selassie, 1935; Wallis Warfield Simpson (Duchess of Windson), 1936; Gen. and Mms. Chiang Kal-shek, 1937; Adolf Hitler, 1938; Joseph Stalin, 1939 and 1942; Winston Churchill, 1940 and 1949 (as Man of the Half Century); General George C. Marshall, 1943 and 1947; Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1944; President Harry S. Truman in 1945 and 1948; James J. Byrnes, 1946; the "U.S. Fighting Man," 1950, and Iran's Mohammed Mossadegh, 1951.
