Madame CurieMakes UpF Ier Mind About u
Some Interesting Impressions On Great Scientist
On Occasion of Her First Visit
To America

JAZZ-Never heard it--or of it

The writer came to Pittsburg to
interview Madame Curie. He found
the famous scientist had surround
ed herself with the same barriers that
presidents and kings erect. She must
not be quoted directly; her daughter
Irene was authorized to express her
views; yes, she understood them full
ly. Irene is her mothers co-worker.
This recluse of the Paris labora-
tory, who has stepped for a few
weeks into the whirl of American af-
fairs, confesses it is somewhat dizzy
ing. But she enjoys it-much!
The wrinkles around her lips and
eyes deepen with. concentration, but
often relax into a motherly smile.
Of Polish descent the madame has
typical Slavic lface The nose is
prominent but wdl dll nodded. Her lips
are thin, her chinIstrong. Her eyes
dark brown-are true mirrors of in
tellect. Her hair, sone brown, now is
gray.
Madame Curie Hresses most plain
ly-like an AmeHcan housewife "o-

it is the key to further scientific re-
searches, which she hopes may bene-

covery of radium.

BY N. w. QUINN

PITTSBURG, May 3f.-Madame
Curie knows now what she thinks of
America and Americans. A week af-
ter her arrival from France the fam
Gus discoverer of radium begged to
be excused-she had had only time
for superficial opinions, and scien-
lists cannot think specifically.
But now
After visiting several of our great
est cities and educational institutions
After receiving from President
Harding 100000 gift of radium
presented by American women,
After inspecting the laboratory
here in which most of the worlds
supply of xadium is refined
The madame speaks.
She has found much that is good
in US, some that is we'll not so
good.
AMERICAN WOMEN All, yes,
how she admires them! So different,
so much more active, so much more
independent than European women.
AMERICAN CITIES-W Wonderful,
to be sure. But she dislikes the noise,
the push, the jam. 1t tires her-but
SO does Paris.
NEW YORK-Long and narrow,
cold and steely! Too much marble,
too few flowers. Too many poodle
dogs, too few children.
WASHINGTON She likes it
best of all. The parks and gardens
and statues-ah, there is an inspira-
tion and happiness.
OUR RIVERS-The Hudson-ma-
jestic, but spoiled by commerce. The
Potomac-there's a river you can
take to your heart and love!
SMOKING BY WOMEN - She
likes best those women who confess
they do somke-for then you can
ask how much.

SEVEN OFFICES
ENTERED; FOUR
FOUND ROBBED
Nimble-F fingered Profes-
sional Does Good
Night S Work

A nimble-fingered mysterious
burglar, who knows how to open
locked doors without breaking them,
how to reach the interiors of safes
without the use of nitro-glycerine or
employing other force. and who Is
familiar with local offices, paid
visit between nishtfall and dawn
Monday night to seven downtown
| Amerieus offices and collected 500
in cash that has been reported, and
! probably considerably more loot
which will not be known until the
owners return home and take an in
ventory.
SO far as reported, the thief, who
was evidently a skilled professional,
| Byne building where the office of
Col. j. f. ID. Ship9 was burglarized;
the Planters bank building, where the
offices of r. L. Maynard, Herbert
| Hawkins and Ellis, Webb and Ellis
were entered, and the Rylander thea
ter building where the offices of E.
M. Viquesney, and Joseph Perkins
on the second floor and the Chamber
of Commerce on the ground floor
were rifled.
All of these offices evidently were
entered by means of a skeleton key,
none Of them showing signs of hav-
ing been forced open. In the of
flee of Col. Shipp the burglar ap-
parently was disturbed in the midst
of his search. The safe contained
eight $5 bills, four of which were
missing and four remaining. The
safe door had been swung shut, but
was still unlocked. A night watch
man is employed at the warehouse
Of l.. G.. Council adjoining this build
ing and it is not unlikely the in
trader was startled in the midst Of
his search of the safe by hearing
the watchman on his round.
The safe in the office Of Ellis,
Webb & Ellis had not been opened,
although there were hammer marks
on the door and a burned spot at the
top. Across the hall the safe
in the office of Col. r. L. May
nard stood open. Col Maynard was
absent from the city, but Jack Hoist,
who is employed in this office, stat
ed he had fonud nothing missing.

TALLY smoked cigar was left by the
burglar. On the same floor of
the bank building the safe in the of
flee of Herbert Hawkins had been
opened, but Mr.. Hawkins, too, is out
Of town, and his clerk had no know
ledge Of what if anything was miss
ing.
No safes in the Rylander building
were opened, but desks were rifled.
The roll-top desk of E. NJ. Viques-
ney, who is now doing a large bnsi-
ness selling his Doughboy statue all
over the nation, was forced open APP
parently with the handle of pair of
plyers. Forty dollars in money was
missing, Nothing Of value was re-
ported taken from the office of JOS
eph Perkins on the same floor or
from the desk of George 0. Marshall,
secretary Of the Chamber of Cons
merce, on the ground floor.
The robberies were reported in
each case to Chief of Police John
Bragg, who is investigating. He ad-
vises persons in the habit of leav-
ing sums Of money of any Importance
in their safes to use the banks for
safety.
