...Uranium, a source of radioactive products, may now become more important in medical research than radium. With the increased use for uranium the roles will be reversed. Hence Canada will probably hike its price for uranium, lower it for the radium byproduct...
...enslavement and death of countless millions of workers may result from a newly discovered method of producing glycerine (currently produced as a byproduct of soap manufacture).

Every Jap communications set captured so far has been quartz-equipped...
