Taft stands ready to assist with his radium hound." Dr. Taft estimates he has recovered more than $100,000 worth of radium with the "hound, which is made almost entirely of radio parts and has a nose for gamma rays that functions, rain' or shine. The instrument, according to its inventor, once penetrated the recesses of the Charleston city dump to point out a minute piece of radium that was carted away with refuse from a hospital. It also has performed notably in cases of radium lost in aewera, drains, waste baskets, furnaces and in one instance in the stomach of a pig. The "hound is a development of the electroscope, formerly used for locating misplaced bits of the radiating element But where the electroscope was slow to react to presence of the metal, the "hound begins buzzing as soon as it sniffs the e emanations. And weather conditions have no effect on its performance, whereas the electroscope might not recognize a lump of radium a foot away in rainy, or even damp, weather. Taft began experimenting with radium recovery in 1933 with an electroscope. His first case was a piece lost in a doctors office. After several hours he found it in the waste CHARLESTON, m .1.50 , WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE" Sugar House lHi Medical Paper Telit of Canada's Helium Source - MONTREAL. Helium can be produced in several parts of Canada, according to the Quebec Medi- cal Journal. The Journal states that the belief that the United States has a monopoly on the gas is a fallacy. The United States is the only country producing helium, it explains, but Canada has produced the gas and could do so again. During the World war, according to the Journal, deposits of the gas were found and recovered in several parts of Ontario and Alberta. The development of new uses for the gas in medical science is drawing attention to the Canadian resources again, it is added. The Journal said experiments have been made in the use of helium for treating pneumonia and heart conditions and it promises to be of great aid in respiratory disease. A colorless, odorless, tasteless, and noninflammable gas, helium also has other uses such as in preserving of food, in fireproofing and in radio tubes and illuminated signs, it adds. So far as is known Canada is the only source of helium in the British empire, the Journal said. F.
