IL has been estimated that no less than

discharged into the atmosphere yearly.
Scientists In Germany say that a sub

the same radlo-actlylty as that OF
radism bromide. II Is said that the
substance Is uranyl molybdate. The
molybdate is formed by adding am

Though costly--namely, about $40 an

In countries like France, where roads
arr good and cross roads numerous,
travellers by automobile have frequent
