The " Wonder Ray"
A Light That Shines Through
fr - ' " **~~"Wi
The making of x-ray films has come a long way since the drawing made around the turn of
the century which depicts a physician hand-cranking a generator to obtain the necessary power
to make an image of the patient's hand. At right is one of the newest examples of sophisticated
x-ray equipment from General Electric a complete diagnostic x-ray system, run by remote
control, which allows the patient to stay in one position while an x-ray examination takes
place.
"ls it light i"
"I'm not sure."
"Is it electricityf"
"Not in any known form."
"What is it?"
"I don't know."
Wilhclm Konrad Roentgen
was not trying to make life
difficult for the reporter who
came to his lab in 1895 to
interview him about the
mysterious "x-ray" the Ger
man physicist had Irecently
discovered. Roentgen really
did not know just how and
why this "wonder ray" could
produce a visible image after
penetrating flesh, cloth, wood
or metal.
Appropriately, he included
in his name for the phenome
non the mathematical term
"X" - the unknown quantity.

Roc 111 gen's rays were
initially viewed with great
skepticism by both the public
and scientific communities,
but he lived to sec the appli
cation of x-ray in diagnostic
medicine and disease therapy.
A new kind of physician
became necessary to study
and interpret x-ray films - the
radiologist. A radiologist
receives 13 years of training
beyond high school before he
has the necessary qualifica
tions to translate the film
images into a diagnosis that
greatly aids the l personal
physician in treatment of ill
ness or injury. He is aided by
a technologist, a person
skilled in the taking of x-ray
films.
Each year shortly after
Thanksgiving, the Radiologi
cal Society of North America
convenes in Chicago for its
annual meeting. There,
radiologists exchange ideas
and view the latest develop
ments in the evolving science
of x-ray application.
Among equipment on view
this year will be the General
Electric Company's new
system for aiding in the
detection of breast cancer.
The unit is capable of obtain
ing accurately and completely
the various necessary views of
a patient's breasts in a shorter
time than previously
required.
By harnessing Roentgen's
"wonder ray," radiologists
over the years have con
tributed immeasurably to
lessening the sufferings of
mankind.

On Performance Q
If you have attended an
automobile race in the rain,
you were probably amazed
that lap times did not fall off
much from times recorded un
der better conditions. That's
because racing cars are shod
with special wet-weather tires
at the first hint of rain.
The modern dry-weather
racing tire is virtually as wide
as it is high, with a smooth,
nearly treadless pattern that
puts every inch of rubber
available on the road. Wet
weather racing tires, however,
differ markedly from their
dry-weather counterparts.
A wet-weather racing tire
has a soft "gum ball" compo
sition and deep treads that
run around the circumference
of the tire. These treads allow
water to channel out from un
der the tire and prevent "aq
uaplanning." This phenome
non occurs when there is little
tread on a tire. It results in a
loss of traction, because there
is no way for the tire to pene
trate the water and get a grip
on the road.
Today's Tip
If your tires dhow little
tread, your car may aqua
plane in the rain. So make
sure your tires are not worn
smooth and by all means do
not run a slick-type racing
tire on a passenger car.
4000 years ago the Egyptians
found that candy made life
sweeter. They had a well
established confectionery art
using honey, flavors, spices and
herbs ... the first corner candy
store in history.
Greek and Roman physicians
used the first sweet taste treat
ment in history. They induced
their patients to down a bitter
draught by smearing the rim of
the cup with honey. Today
millions of persons don't blink
an eye—but they savor the
taste —as they nurse minor
throat irritations with a variety
of Luden's cough drops. Fla
vored wild cherry, honey
licorice, menthol, honey
lemon and menthol-eucalyptus,
they're all made by Luden's,
Inc. of Reading Pa.
Stay with
the best.

WORLD'S LEADING CASINO
Casino du Liban, the pride
of the Lebanese »nd one of
the most attractive and im
posing gambling casinos of
the world, is but 10 miles
north of Beirut, the Lebanese
capital, known as the "Paris
of the East".
The Casino stands atop a
rainbow-colored cliff over
looking the bay where the
whale is supposed to have put
Jonah ashore. From the
casino is a commanding view
of the Lebanese mountains
sloping down to the blue
Mediterranean.
Although casinos are
primarily for gambling.
Casino du Liban has a lot of
other entertainment to offer
in the way of a dazzling floor
show, haute cuisine dining, an
ultra-modern theater with a
seating capacity of 1200, bars
galore, two restaurants and a
large dancing floor in the
Casino night club.
Every evening there are
performances by
world-renowned theatrical
companies, or a concert by
the Stuttgart Philharmonic,
for instance, and a night club
with first class bands and
orchestras.
The international floor
show features artists from
famous European or
American cabarets and exotic
dancers from the Orient. The
two restaurants, which com
fortably accommodate 2,000
persons, serve the finest in
European and Oriental dishes
The Casino has two
gambling rooms: con
ventional gambling in an
oriental decor; and American"
gambling—craps, blackjack
and slot machines—to the

accompaniment of the latest
rock music or beguiling
oriental tunes.
The plush setting serves as
an excellent background for
the floorshow, which is one
of the slickest and fastest
moving shows in the world.
A recent show featured a
train full of lovelies that
puffed its way around the
auditorium; a swimming pool
and ice-rink on stage and
three white horses that
galloped through the show; a
nude beauty swimming inside
a bubble, and pe tailed cages,
full of girls, that appear from
the ceiling for the finale The
show, of which the Lebanese
are justifiably proud, adds up
to an exhilarating experience.
Casino du Liban has it ail
It is a must stop for any
traveller to the land of 300
suhny days, Lebanon.
