"During Ihe past 30 days three men whom 1 had Irled, convicted and sentenced, paid the supreme penalty - and one of them died under horrible circumstances," the judtfe said.

IODINE NOW RECOVERED FROM SPOUTING OIL In another report in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, it has been disclosed that large supplies of iodine can be obtained from spouting oil wells. The report points out that re covering iodine from oil wells started in 1926 in Louisiana, but has now expanded into a west coast industry that today supplies almost half of the 1,500,000 pounds of iodine which America uses each year. It was reported further that utilization of iodine-bearing oil brine also prevents its 'contami nation of west coast water and killing of fish. hhfl -en wests?- MIKE' AU ,T'S EASY! ,o:!:;;: 1 ...o.foroUeeVesofetV V v for Your cor. comp,et.
