RADIUM IN LONDON
SAFE DEPOSIT UNDERGROUND. [British Official Wireless. 1 RUGBY, November 6. A safe deposit, 50 feet deep in Thames gravel under Hospital, is being constructed for th ■ hospital’s radium bombs and contents—six grammes of radium salts valued at between £30,000 and £40,000. Fifty feet of steel tubing, 15 inches in diameter, was sunk into the gravel during the week-end. ine Westminster Hospital radium supply will be brought back from a similar well, at the Rosal Cancer Hospital, where it had been deposited since the outbreak of war. In future, the radium bombs will be deposited in the tube each night, and, in the event of air-raids, this will enable the continuation of treatment by fadium at Westminster Hospital, by 'daylight.
