Hilbert is the man who discovered
how to produce penicillin In large

that this is the means Of bringing
prosperity to huge areas OF land
in the British Empire and thus
put the Empire back on paying

scheduled to start October IS.
The group also suggested that
trees be added to the curbs along
M street west of Rock Creek and
along lower Wisconsin avenue. A

out that trees along this area

The association, meeting last

A bill introduced by Chairman
