SELENIUM ML
HAS FUTURE SALS
BUREAU OF MIS
The production of selenium, one
of the litle heard of elements, could
be largely increased if the demand
so required, acording to the United
States Bureau of Mines Selenium
is an esential constiuent of several
minerals. The commercial source,
however, is the relatively minute
amounts present as impurities in
various ores, and manufactured as
a by-product in the refining of
coper, lead, and from the manufac
ture of sulphuric acid from pyrite.
In the nited States alone, th epo
tential production o fselenium, vir
tually as a by-product of the major
metallurgical operations, has been
estimated at 400,000 to 450,000 lbs.,
annually.
The element has possible new
uses and the research that has
been actively in progress for many
years is likely to uncover addition
al yields of employment. New uses
are beiig continually found for se
lenium in the medicinal and che
mical industries, but the amount
required have hitherto been too
small to have much efect on sales.
At the present, the only possible
use for selenium which may create
a much larger demand for the ele
ment is its use in the rubber in
dustry, but even in this field con
siderable additional research may
be necessary.
Selenium in metalic form has
long been characterized by its un
ique action toward light. Its con
ductivity of an electric current
varies so greatly when brot from
dark into light that this peculiar
property, varying as it does in pro
portion to the intensity of light,
has caused the development of the
selenium cell.

Easy to look at—good to look at—that’s your reaction to charm and
beauty. Easy to smoke—good to smoke — that’s the lure of Camels.
Good because of the natural mildness and fragrance of mellow tobaccos,
with all the delicacy and aroma preserved by scientific skill in prepara
tion and blending — good because there’s no over-processing or doctor
ing—no flatness of taste.
Easy—-because they are so mild and smooth that you can smoke them
all the day through with never a suggestion of throat discomfort.
Notice that it’s Camels now — your crowd and elsewhere — because
