MADAME CURIE TELLS OF WORK IN WORLD WAR Radium Discoverer Gives Valuable Help lo Surgeons in X-Ray Laboratory. Mm. Maris Curie, discoverer of radium, who has been writing tbs story of her life for The Delineator magazine, tells in the final installment of her story, published in the March Delineator, of ter activities during the war. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities she organized the radiologic and radiotherapeutic services for the military hospitals. “It is well known that the X-rays offer surgeons and doctors an extremely use ful means for the examination of the sick and wounded,'* she writes. “They make possible the discovery of the exact location of projectiles that have entered the body, and this, of course, is a great help in extracting them. These rays also reveal lesions of the bones and permit one to examine the internal organs, as well as to follow the progress of recovery from internal injuries. TROUBLE TO CUT EQUIPMENT. “However, at the beginning of the war the military board of health had no organization of radiology, 'fthile the civil organization was also but little developed. Radiologic installations existed In only a small number of important hospitals and with only a few specialists in the large cities. The numerous new hospitals that were established all over France at the beginning of the war had, as a rule, no installations for the use of the X-rays. “To meet this need I first eathered together and purchased all the apparatus 1 could find in the laboratories and stores. With this equipment I established in August and September, 1914, several stations of radiology, the operation of which was assured by volunteer helpers to whom I gave instruction. “These stations rendered great service during the battle of the Marne. But as toe stations were not sufficient for all the hospitals of tt.e Paris region. I fitted up, with tbo heip of the Red Cross, a radiologic was simply a touring motor-car fitted to transport a complete radiologic apparatus, together with a dynamo that was worked by the engine < f the car and that furnished the electric current necessary for the radio apparatus. This car was accessible to all of the hospitals near Paris, which at this time were caring for all the wounded t*ho could not be transported to more distant hospitals.”

ESTABLISHES 100 INSTALLATIONS. Madame Curlie says that about two hundred radiologic installations were established through her efforts in the Freneh and Belgian armies and that she was able to equip in her laboratory and give to the army twenty radiologic ears. Litter- the military developed such a set-vice of its own. To perfect her work she made several trips to the army zones and visited many ambulance stations. On these trips she Instructed persons in handling the apparatus. Frequently she was accompanied by her daughter Irene, then seventeen years old. ‘Sfn<-e chauffeurs were Fra re, I learned tc drive a car.'* said Madame Curie. Thus does Madame Curie distpiss with a sentence one of her greatest labors. Ir another sentence she tells of a great difficulty she experienced in findina persons capable of operating the apparatus she used. Ultimately she found It necesary to train women for the work, and to this end induced tee health service to add a department of radiology to the nurses' school which had just opened at the Edith Cavell Hospital. Speaking of the part raditir.-, p! jyed In the war, Madame Curie says that she turned over emanations f -m hjr own supply to the Governmen It is the emanations of rays which tre used to cure the disease and not the radium itself These emanations were confined in bulbs and were very carefully used for the treatment of wounded and sick soldiers. "During the bombardment of Paris.” says the scientist, “the health service took special measures to protect from shells the laboratory in which they were procured. Since the handling of radium is far from being free from danger (several times I have felt a discomfort which I consider results from that cause), measures were taken to try to prevent harmful effects on the persons preparing emanations.” MADE TRIP INTO ITALY In link, after the failure of the German offensive. Madame Curie went to Italy on invitation of the Governm-nt to study the question of Italy's natural resources in radioactive materials. She remained a month and was able to oh-t:-n most gratifying results. In closing, the scientist says: "My husband always refused to draw from our disc very any. material profit, and I have fc'lowed his plan. We publicis'd since the beginning, without reticence. the process that we used to prepare the radium. We took out no patents and we did,'not reserve any advantage in any industrial exploitation. “No detail was kept secret, and it is due to the information that we gave in our publications that the industry of radium has been rapidly developed. Up to tfie present time this industry has hardly used any methods except those we established. AMERICAN RADIUM riANTS GREATEST ‘•Several manufacturers of radium exist in the world. The first were founded in Frame, but the greatest are now in America, where there are available important quantities of an ore of radium named carnotite. The price of radium is very high, since this substance is found in rhe minerals in a very small quantity. Before the war it was worth about "50.000 francs (*37.500) a gram. But the price was great]-.- increased, and the profits on the manufacture of radium have become very important, since this suh-tiar'-e is the object of a very active demand oi the part of doctors, who now use it in the cure of a number of diseases Important results have been obtained. in particular, in the treatment of cancer. Tnstifntes have been formed for •the application of the new method of treatment called radium-therapy or Curietherapy. "So it is a fortune th3t we have sacrificed in renouncing the exploitation of our discovery—a fortune that could, after ns. have gone to our children. Many times I have bad to defend our conception to friends who have argued, not wirhonr reason, that if we had guaranteed our rights we could have had the financial means of founding the cherished institute of radium. “Yet I still believe today that we have done right. Humanity, surely, needs practical men who make the best of their w..rk for the sake of their own interests without necessarily forgetting the general interest.” OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES TIE.

IRISH WOMEN START MOVE FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Ask Voting Age Put at 21, Not 30, as English Laws Provide. DUBLIN, May. -. —The women of Ireland are already asserting their rights. Deputations of Irish women have called upon Arthur Griffith, president of the Dali, and other leaders of the provisional government, demanding that the age of enfranchisement in the Free State be fixed at 21 years instead of 30, the age fixed by the English laws. The women promise to make this one of the interesting features when the treaty goes to the country. The women leaders, who took a daring part in the struggle for Irish freedom, declare that when the elections are held that they will not take up the cry of “Up De Valera” or “Up Collins,” but will wage a campaign for complete equality in politics for the women ql Ireland and will support only those candidates who are ready to pledge themselves to such a platform. A majority of the “Oumann na the women leaders of Ireland, are r*tween the ages of 18 aftd 25 and they are Insistent that their rights must be protected and that they shall not he denied the franchise simply because the English law has set 30 as the age at which a woman is entitled to vote. ' Countess Markievicz, Mrs Sheeby Rkefflngtoi: and Mrs. Aine Ceannt, together with Mary MacSwiney, are leading the fight for women's rights in Ireland, and they claim that they have the support ot tbe Irish Republican army. There are some prominent suffragists who are op-

posing the efforts of the group lead by Countess Markievicz, declaring that in the coming elections the women of Ire. land wI,U stand for the republic and a continued fight for Us creation, as op posed to support for the Free State. Such a stand will mean renewed warfare, they declare. CountessMarHevicz Is urging the Irish women to base their fight In the coming elections on their demands for full political rights, and she refuses to agree that a vote against the Free State Is a vote for continued warfare. STYLISH SUIT HUGS THE HIPS French Style Something Novel in Fashions. Well-cut suits are worn as well as capes and among the newest comers is the little French suit with a short bloused coat that bugs the hips and has a narrow string girdle, and si sometimes made in white matelasse or white cloth stitched all over In black, or In scarlet or gray or putty-colored broadcloth. These little light jackets are worn with black broadcloth skirts, but are regarded as suits. One sees other types, of course, among them an early spring arrival in navy serge, with a smartly cut Jacket bound with silver braid, and with silver braid on the loose panels of the skirt and silver braid and silver embroidery and carved turquoise buttons on the draped waistcoat of white taffeta, such as the French woman wears in lieu of a blouse. The more severely cut, classical tailor-made is also worn. One observes with suits of all types that 1 the blouse collar, if it has one. Is never brought out over the coat. It is to soften this rather trying fashion and also

to complete the boat-shaped neck of the collarless dress that women wear fox scarfs in the spring. Many of the smartest women one sees are dressed in black crepe or broadcloth frocks of the simplest possible cut, broken only by some slight irregularity in the hem, a simple hat, a gox neckpiece, pearls, pale-colored gloves, faultless patent-leather pumps and thin gauze stockings. A costume of this kind is flawless and is quite perfect for tbe woman who must be well dressed and yet can not afford a varied wardrobe, for It can be worn at all hours and a whole season almost without a change. Luncheon at Sherry’s or Pierre's and a stroll on the avenue afterward tempted by the new hats, tormented by the end-1 less variations of charming dresses, is to be convinced of several things. The ailhouette remains narrow and silm, the! waistline low, the neck boat-shaped, the j skirt longer than last year, but not long,' the hem irregular and the sleeve long and wide.—From the Delineator.

One white silk crepe and one dark silk petticoat ia plenty in this petticoatless day. Os stockings there should be a plentiful supply, at least a dozen pairs.
