That interests you, and MW PROVE your interest. WOmen of America have undertakes to raise a Madame Curie had of $100,000. The money is set for Madame Curie. Money does not Interest her now, any more than when she lived in Paris as young girl, washing bottles in a laboratory that she might continue her scientific studies on an Incom, of twenty dollars a month And a diet of black bread and milk. The $100,000 Madame Curie Fund will be used to purchase one grain of radium for the woman that discovered radium.

And that radium will be used by Madame Curie in her scientific studies that have given such magnificent results to the world Of science and have never given one sany of profit to Madame Curie. Radium is the one hope of unhappy thousands that suffer from eancer. Radium is destined to open many closed doors of science. Radium will furnish the key to Material equilibrium in the universe. What is the world's debt to the woman that discovered radium dad gave her discovery to the world FREE? As you answer that question, repeat the useful formula supplied by Yames, 1:22: "Dst be ye doers ad hearers This writer sends one hundred dollars to the "Marie Curie Radium Fund," in care of Equitable Trust Company, New York city.

The modest contribution' is sent in memory of Julia Ward Howe. BeIng sent in memory of an AmerCan woman, it will, perhaps, be accepted by an American woman's fand. Julia Ward Howe, when she wrote the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," produced a spiritual radium that penetrated many cold hearts and many dull minds. There should be a thousand men ft the United States eager to send each one hundred dollars to such a fund, and to each will occur the name of some good American woman in whose honor the money could be sent and thus made acceptable. There follow some facts about Madame Curie.

She grew up in her fathe's laboratory, looking after his toA and Uithr-ap ats from the time she was gix years old. At sixteen Marie Sklodowski, now Marie Curie, was graduated from the -Girls' Gymnasium, reesiving a medal of gold.

She was then a well-educated scientist. Next she worked in the physics Iaboratory of the Industrial Mumum. in Warsaw. On her father's death rhe went to Paris to continue her scientific studies. On an income of $20 a aonth she lived alone in one small room, her furniture an iron bed and one chair, her diet black bread and milk.

She found work in a scientific laborator as a washer of bottles and contmiued her studies. Professor Lip observing her ability, ealed her to obtain a free course in physics, chemistry, and mathnenatics at the Sorbonne, she now lectures and teaches, the first woman tq be thus honered. You have heard "proud man" guestion woman's mental power. It would do such men good to follow Madame Curie's work as it led up to her discovery of radium, a discovery shared by her husband, Prof. Pierre Curie, but due chiefly to her.

Everybody knew that salts of thorium and various substances emnitted rays possessing the qualIty of radiation, discovered by Professor Becquerel. Madame Curie and her husband learned that pitch-blend. also produces radioactive force that will pass through any substance, lead and steel exS That vague information satisfied others, but Madame Curie was determined to know just WHAT it was that caused the radioactivity. For three years she worked steadIly, intensely, using in experiments every penny above the actual cost Sof keeping herself alive. In her work she "reduced" tons of pitchblende.

At last, in 1900, in Paris, a watchcase was exhibited containing a speck of the world's rarest, most extraordinary element. It was labeled "Radium-Discovered by Madame Curie." 1911 Madame Curie obtained the Nobel Prise for chemistry. When her husband was killed in 1906 there was no one able to take his place at the Sorbonne, except his wife, and that ancient institution broke its rule of centuries and Invited a woman to the full professorship that Madame Curie now Madame Curie is admlitted to be asg the greatest scientists livlag, net the great "woman" eciena tMs, but among the greete'st scientists whether men or women.

"Clara Smith Hamon is a bird with a broken wing trapped by a vile man," she said.
