Artificial Radium. By means of a powerful electromagnet Professor Ernest Orlando Lawrence of Berkeley can in ten hours' operating time instill as much radiant energy into a speck of common table salt as $2,500 worth of natural radium contains. The chief difference is that whereas natural radium, a deadly poison, will retain its radioactivity for thousands of years, radioactive table salt will lose all its potency within a few hours. During the period of its radioactivity, however, such table salt may do as much medical good as natural radium, and probably without harmful effects...
Doves & Lambs v. Lions & Tigers- As usual Hero Streicher had prepared no speech, indulged in some extemporaneous lush German sentiment: "The other day at the zoo I saw some German children watching the play of doves and lambs. Their faces were radiant with happiness. Then I saw some Jewish children and their Jewish teachers. They had eyes only for the beasts of prey, lions and tigers and the slinking lynx! Why? Because blood calls to blood! For thousands of years the Jews have lived by preying upon other people...
...Italians are very circumspect before reaching any decision, but once we have made up our minds, we march straight toward our objective and never turn back. . . . An unknown infantryman [Mussolini], one of many who fought, suffered, died and won to give Italy a radiant victory in the World War, wrote on the wall of a house near the banks of the Piave River: Better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. This motto, more than any other, is our gospel...
...grave aunt, Queen Maud of Norway, at his side and opposite the Duke of Gloucester. As the grand procession climax, came an open landau with King George as a Field Marshal looking as the late great French President Raymond Poincare once described him: "Le Roi est radieux!" Definitely radiant at his side was Queen Mary in a gown of hydrangea pink silk net, embroidered with lace, and worn over a slip of dazzling silver cloth, the whole enhanced by a necklace, bracelets and earrings of diamonds and pearls. Roared a huckster from Victoria Monument, "God bless you, Sir! God save...
...Radiant Copper. Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, 33, wears octagonal spectacles and harries the atom with an 85-ton electromagnet in a ramshackle old building on the University of California's campus. Dr. Lawrence and his associates have done the most intensive work in the U.S. on artificial radioactivity. Lately the young physicist succeeded in inducing radioactivity in sodium. Since common salt contains sodium, the prospect immediately arose of injecting harmless but radioactive saline solutions into the human body as a cancer remedy. Few weeks ago Dr. Lawrence was appointed a research consultant of Columbia University's Crocker Institute...
