Nine. Curie's Assistant.

Nine. Curie, the most remarkable
woman scientist, is very particular in
choosing her laboratory assistants
and, although she has many men
working under her, there is only one
woman. This is a very bright young
Norwegian, Miss Gledtisch, who has
her B. s. and NJ s. from the Univer-
sity of Christiania, of which she was
the youngest woman to graduate. She
passed her examinations with high
honors, and took up the study of
radio-activity. She contributed sew
eral papers on the subject which
awakened such approval that, al
though much younger than the major
ity of the students, she was appoint
ed instructor in physics, one of the
first women to hold that position in
Norway.
Her independent research work was
so good, however, that the Norwegian
government soon gave her stipend
with which to continue her studies
on the continent. AS she had special
ICED in radio-activity, she naturally
wrote to Nine. Curie who, after a
rigid examination, admitted her to the
laboratory, of which she is now prac-
tically the first assistant.

aBAD MAN" OF THE PRESENT
Automobile Joy Rider Worthy Sue
sessor Of the Reckless Frontiers
man of Other Days.

The most typical rough house"
characte. of the pait has been the
cowboy. The most reckless character
of the present day is the automobile
fiend The rowdy ruffian of the future
will probably ride the aeroplane.
The short story reader. says Chi
cago newspaper, is familiar with the
bad man" of the frontier. Reming-
ton has made the world familiar with
the shooting up of towns. With vol
ley of yells and a volley of revolver
shotsi the cowboys go galloping
through the town. Galloping. you no
tice, Us the word If there was ever
a case of shooting up town or other
picturesque ruffianry in the cowboy
days that did not begin or end with
the CHATTER of hoofs 1t Is yet to be re-
corded.
In the same way the automobile
misdemeanor goes with rush and q
honk. Only a few days ago party
of automobilists shot up New York
cafe. They did 1t in the good old
fashioned way, only that they used
gasoline for motive power in place
of painting horse flesh. The shooting
up occurred in the vicinity of Broad
way and Thirty-ninth street. The
shooters were elected from the cafe.
In revenge they clambered into their
machine and going by the inhospitable
drink shop filed 1t full of bullets.
The police records of any western
town of twenty years ago were filled
with the crimes of dashing horsemen.
The daily paper of the present is filled
with the misdemeanors of the auto
mobilist. Is it part of the speed
mania to make a man contemptuous
of law and order? Does the whistle
of the wind across his ears fill him
with desire to run down many VIC
tins and fill them full of bullet holes?
Whether the indictment of speed is
capable of legal proof or not one thing
is sure; the automobilist is the legiti-
mate successor of the cowboy and Is
continuing his work of riding rough
shod over law and order. The sight
of Keeling cowboy galloping down
the street with guns waved on high
sent terror to the hearts of women
and children and law-abiding citizens
in the past So in the present day the
sight of an automobile clipping cor
ners off baby carriages and grocery
stores creates a panic. The bad man
and gun fighter of the plains has
passed away, but he has left worthy
and able successor in the joy rider of
the cities.

Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for a time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall.
Pm way behind the other boys In
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. /
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. The boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. / can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy In school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more."-

For the Growing Child.

The famous French dietition, eau
tier, is on record as saying that after
the first three years of a/child's life
the addition of muscular tissue may
and ought to be given to him in
very moderate quantity. Roast NUT
ton or lamb. beef, minced ham, rather
than veal, with the addition of eggs
in all styles, creams and rice, vermi-
CELL in soup, butter, thoroughly
cooked fruits. stewed potatoes, green
vegetables and cocoa, all of these are
suitable. He states that the exclusive
use of milk tends to make fat, lynn
phatic, puffy children, capable of
standing little. This is further &C.
centuated by the abuse of sweetened
dishes. 1t is also necessary at this
age to avoid giving foods which are
highly seasoned and too much sailed.
Fat FISH (herring and salmons), dry
fish, sailed or smoked, mushrooms,
crustacea or vinegars and spices, raw,
dry, unripe or too acid fruits are I'M
suitable. Fermented cheeses. alcoholic
liquors Of all descriptions, also coffee
and tea should not be allowed.

be in the food and drink

FEED YOUNG GIRLS

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl Is
lust merging into womanhood that the

At that age the structure Is being

"Kickino the Bucket

When we speak faceuously of some
one of whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket we
employ phrase that would seem to
be piece of latter-day slang, but as
a matter Of fact, 1t dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1725,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases Of suicide, 1t has been applied
in the course Of years to any death
without distinction.
