Yellow Fever Pension Awarded After 27 Years
Gustaf Lambert of Hazelcrest Illinois is set to receive a new monthly pension of about 98 dollars, in addition to his current 101 dollar Spanish American War pension, under a House bill passed by the Senate and sent to the White House. The measure adds his name to the yellow fever control contributors on the honor roll, acknowledging his inoculation participation and nursing the experimental cases. The bill proposes 200 dollars monthly but the total replaces all other pensions, so Lambert would gain the difference.

Test Atomic Radiation For Food Canning
In about five years atomic radiation may allow foods to be preserved without canning or refrigeration. Capt. Reuben Pomerantz of the Quartermaster Food and Container Institute in Chicago said results could reach the public in five years and may lower prices. Radiation could keep some foods longer at normal refrigeration without becoming radioactive. Army research leads the work, with plans for a pilot plant to produce 30 tons daily. A Denver group on radiated diets shows no behavioral changes, while some foods resist the method and others gain a new taste.
