Today FOR 11 CURIE WASHINGTON, May 21. Mm. Marie Curie, the Polish scientist, who received a gram of radium yesterday from President Harding, set in motion today the machinery of the new low temperature laboratory of the Bureau of Mines. A distinguished gathering of Government officials and prominent scientists from all parts of the country was present to welcome Mme. Curie and to witness the dedication ceremonies.

Due to fatigue, which made it impossible for her to remain at the laboratory more than a few minutes, Mme. Curie was unable to deliver a dedicatory address. The ceremonies were curtailed, Mme. Curie replying briefly to addresses of welcome by Dr. H.

Foster Bain, director of the bureau, and Dr. R. B. Moore, chief chemist of the bureau. Later she pressed the button that set in motion the complicated machinery of the laboratory.

On behalf of Gordon Kimball of Ouray, Mme. Curie was presented with a large specimen of Car-nottte ore, from which radium is obtained, said by scientists to be one of the finest specimens of radium- There is to be one more bis burst of festivity before everyone packs up and is off to the country or the mountains for summer vacations. It is the Booster Get-Acquainted Ball on June 18. That event follows the closing of the schools by a week and will be probably the last great social function until another season opens in the fall. The Booster Ball, however, is much more than that.

It is being planned as one of the biggest public festivals that has been held here In any year. This embraces all of California from the Tehachapi to the Oregon line and everybody is Invited.

Invitations have been sent to all Incorporated cities in the area included to send official representatives to the Booster Ball. Other towns and communities that have not been thus addressed are urged to take part and their representatives will be made equally welcome. San Francisco hopes to play host to the Boosters of the State. The Civic Auditorium will be arranged to accommodate 12,000 guests and there will be free entertainments that will accommodate many more.

OLD PORTOLANS. Headquarters of the Booster Ball committee are now open at 764-6 Phelan building. Members of the old Portola committee are in charge of arrangements. The B-B Campaign committee has given its approval to all the plans and is inviting its entire membership to participate and assist in every way possible in making the ball one of San Francisco's most notable festivals.
