...remnant of Third Liberties which the notes were issued to meet was some $970,000,000. Secretary Mellon's dislike of the high-rate situation was reflected in the small amount of the new issue.

Any child going out for recess or any stenographer going out to lunch will get more ultraviolet radiation than she could get all day behind a window of ultraviolet transmitting glass.
