New York. DEATH RAY for microbes, so practical and inexpensive that res taurants, soda fountains, butcher shops and bakeries and even cosmeticians may use it was demonstrated here before 1,000 of the nation's public health authorities, physicians and scientists.

The ray kills typhoid germs in eight seconds. Other germs are destroyed in less time. The black mold that forms on bread is the toughest yet discovered, requiring 19 minutes of exposure at a distance of four inches to be killed. But bacteria so far studied fall between these ex- tremes.

BETTER THAN SUNLIGHT Light rays which kill germs are not new to science. Ordinary sun- light does the job, but is compara- tively weak and takes much me to be effective. The warmth that ne- companies sunlight

killing them. Sun- light is confined to the outdoors, and sa is useless for factory and shop shop sanitation. Some ultra-violet lamps kill germs, but also emit heat and so are impractical for use in refrigera- tors. They make meats runcid. They

require too much electric power to operate economically and the quartz envelopes necessary to pass the ultra-violet radiation are expensive.
