Dirigibles Are In The “Air” Again

Washington, July 17.

Recent north Atlantic ings of the German dirigible Hindenburg have revived in United States Navy Circles the highly controversial question of whether lighter-than-air ships should be added to the fleet.

Mme. Joliot-Curie:

Described how all the different organs of the body could be made to take their own photographs in the "light" of the radia- tion they emitted;

Explained how it would be possible, from this type of test to predict in advance where, and in what quantities, any of the new radio-active materials would penetrate;'

Stated that 3-million volt electrical equipment would shortly be available in Paris, with which her husband, Professor Joliot, would make these materials in aufficiently large amounts for these essential tests to be undertaken; and
