...overseas copies at 19 places for distribution to 180 countries and possessions. Among the 19: Bogotá, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Teheran and Sydney. Where transport problems were worst, as in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, Burma and the Pacific, we sent out pocket-sized "Pony" editions. Smallest of all was the Navy V-Mail Edition (4¼ in. by 5¼ in.). At war's end, all these editions were consolidated into the present four international editions now serving 1,419,000 readers outside the U.S. In addition to the Latin American Edition, grandfather of them...

Further refining raises the activity to 5,000 or 10,000 curies per lb. Stanford Institute believes that the crude stuff can be marketed for 10? to $1.00 per curie. (The present price of radium: $16,000 per curie...
...hard-driving Style of play held Brigham Young almost perfectly even. In the second half, Dayton was still very much in the game (35-30) when Brigham Young suddenly broke the game wide open. The buster-upper: Roland Minson, 22, a spring-legged six-footer and the smallest regular on the floor. In three minutes, using its famed fingertip passing and its whippet speed, Brigham Young ran up 15 points, nine of them by Jack Rabbit Minson. During this spree, Dayton was so intent on stopping Minson that it scored precisely one point for Dayton. Final score...
