tiger Of the elements arrived in New
York Wednesday afternoon on the
Olympic.
She was so i'll when the steamer
locked at o'clock that she had to lie
for two hours in her cabin before she
could gain strength to disembark and
face the huge, ribbon-bedecked crowd
Of Polish American who had been
waiting since 10 o'clock in the morn
ing to shower her with red and white
roses.
Too Ill to Pose.
When newspaper writer's and cam
era men boarded the Olympic at quar-
antine, Nine Curie, who had been
frightfully seasick during the entire
voyage, consented to be interviewed
and photographed, but it was too
much for her strength.
Seated on a red plush lounge in her
cabin, with her two pretty daughters
and Mrs. w. B. Maloney, head Of the
American Radium fund committee,
she talked for five minutes in response
to various questions.
"Radium has already proven an eff
fective cure for cancer in many cases"
she said, "but it is extremely danger
GUS, except when property used.
Will Continue Cancer Study.
"a part of the gram which / am to
receive in America will be devoted to
further experiment and study in the
treatment of cancer. 1t will also be
used in scientific research work
"Yes Tin response to new query),
l am suffragist. believe in polite
al equality for woman, but my scien-
tific work has prevented me from tax
ing an active interest in politics"
Madame Curie was asked whether
in her opinion woman generally was
the equal of man in original brain
power, and why, in her opinion, no
woman in the world with the excep-
ton of herself had ever achieved the
top-most scale of fame in scientific
research.
Her answer was misunderstood by
some of her hearers, and she will be
widely misquoted tomorrow. What she
really said was:
Women Have Not Had Chance.
Il cannot answer those questions be-
cause 1t Is SUBJECT WHICH Is IlOI SuS-
ceptible of scientific proof In my
opinion women have not had the same
for scientific study and
research and that may be the cause of
their inferior attainments as a sex.
But do not know"
When Madame Curie went on the |
top deck to face the batteries of mo-
ton picture cameras, her personality |
and clothing made sharp contrast with
the hundreds of stylishly and expen-
sively CARRIED women on the first cabin |
promenade of the palatial liner.
She Is Plain Dresser.
Her face was ashen white, her gray
hair, beneath cheap, plain black hat,
was drawn severely straight back.
She wore a plain black coat-suit, a
grayish flannel shirt with soft, loose
collar, heavy fiat-heeled shoes, and a
black overcoat with cloth belt and
one of the buttons missing. She car
ried plain, worn leather handbag.
She wore no jewelry or ornaments
of any kind.
Her entire outfit cost less than a
pair of lace-silk stockings such as are
worn today by the anonymous wife of
many an anonymous millionaire.
