READING COMIC BOOKS

tighten around his throat and
strangle him.

marks on the ground by the wash

rays displayed by Joan Dixon.
Swift & Co. home economist, at
Centennial celebration.
CHICAGO—This steak was ster
ilized by atomic rays.
It will keep without refrigera
tion but it has a scorched flavor.
It is displayed at Swift & Co.’s
research laboratories in Chicago
in connection with the company’s
Centennial. Swift has done much
research the past seven years to
find a way to improve foods with
atomic energy.
Dr. H. E. Robinson, director of
Swift Laboratories, says that as
yet no way has been found to
: overcome this flavor problem but
the research is continuing.
“While it may take years to
solve this problem, it isn’t hope
less and we expect eventual suc
cess,” Dr. Robinson said.
