Marie Curie was the prime mover in the organization of portable x-ray units which could be brought to the battle fronts in World War I. It is now thought that her fatal leukemia was not brought on by her earlier work with radium, but by the thousands of x-rays she took during the war. www.acr.org/SecondaryMainMenuCategories/NewsPublications/... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1229859/pdf/cmaj_159...

This is fascinating. The idea that people needed that comfort of the feel of a real church when there wasn't a way to build them. Or was this for the homebound?

MOTOR CHAPEL IS LATEST DEPARTURE; Missionary Campaign to be Conducted in Southwest in Roman Catholic Church on Wheels. March 16, 1913, Sunday The motor-propelled church is the latest mode of carrying religion to the wilderness. The first "motor chapel" ever built in this country will soon enter into duty for the Catholic Church Extension Society to supplement the missionary tasks now being performed by railroad chapels. copied from this link query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E2D81139E633A... How cool is that?
