POLISH WOMEN
AGAINST LEAGUE

Wilma. April 23-(The Associated
Press)-Thc Polish women of Wilma
have taken up cudgels against the
League of Nations. They shouldered
arms last summer and fought Boil
shevik soldiers in defense of the city
and they assert they will fight again
if the League should attempt to send
an international army to police the
disputed territory in event of a pie
hiscite.
Wilma, at present, is occupied by
General Lucien Zeligowski, and some
10000 Polish soldiers. While represent

men.
The Commission members contend
that the birth records of Central
Lithuania are so incomplete that the
voting of women would only compli-
cate matters.
1T was in consequence of this de-
cision. and to manifest their disap-
prevail, that a crowd of women at
tackled the Commissions chairman,
! Colonel Chardigny. and spattercd his
French uniform with eggs, some of
which were not exactly fresh. A few
| days after this incident, the Com
mission removed its headquarters
from Vilra to Kovno, which is the
seat of government of the republic of
Lithuania.
Eight of the women were arrested
by the local police authorities, but
no date has been set for the trial.
A petition signed by thousands Of
Wilma women has been sent to the
League of Nations asking for the re-
moval of Colonel Chardigny as head
of the Military Commission of Con-
troll.
The Lithuanians contend for the
Wilma district on the grounds that
Wilma was the capital of the ancient
state of Lithuania. They claim it
also under terms of a treaty of peace
with the Soviets signed in Moscow
last summer
The wilma Poles contend that the
majority of the population of the
Wilma district is Polish, and that as
less than three per cent of the pppu-
lation Of about 1900 600 are Lithuan-
ians, the state of Lithuania has no
just claim to the land under dispute
Nilna's streets are daily filled with
Zeligowski soldiers, all of whom wear
the Polish uniform. Many of the Of

Central Lithuania insignia which is
worn on the collar together with the

are to be seen everywhere in the
business section of Wilma on HOLIDAYS.

sacrificing bravery. The same forces
which made it possible for Peary to
reach the North Pole, carried this ex-
plorer into an unknown wilderness.
Every year a new chapter has to be
written about this wonderful sub
stance"
The discovery of radium came
about in this wise: Professor Roent-
gen, a German scientist, announced
his discovery of the X-Ray in 1895.
These rays possessed the property of
emitting radiations of a special char
acter which were able to penetrate
through matter Opaque to ordinary
light.
A year later III. BeeQuerel, French
physicist, observed that certain uran-
ium preparations emitted rays re-
sembling those discovered by Roent-
gen. Becquerel rays became the new
wonder and by delicate tests were
proved to be electrical. Thus began
the search for the new element and
every form of uranium in laborator-
les was tested.
Nine. Curie at this point diverged
from the serach of other chemists.
She went to Carlsbad where pitch
blende had been mined for century
for the extraction of uranium in max
ing Bohemian glass and beautiful
dyes. Around the mines she found
so tons of refuse, an analysis of
which proved it to be four times as
strong in Becquerel rays as the uran-
ium which had been taken from the
ore. Nine. Curie by long and tedious
processes of extracting lead. silver,
tin. bismuth and other metallic sub
stances from the pile of refuse dis
solved the mass until the residue was
60 times stronger than uranium. DR..
Able says of this:
This small remnant cIowed in the
dark. All but two metals had been
eliminated. These We're known not
! to have the slightest radio activity.
Therefore, there could be but one
conclusion-Mme. Curie was facing n
mysterious new force" Two years
later she was able to announce it's
discovery and her method of extract
ing it from the ore.

| Madame Marie Curie whose die
: covery of radium in 1898 has baen
called "the realization of the dream
of ancient alchemists" was born in
Warsaw, Poland, on Nov. 7. 1857.
Her father, Professor SkIodowsks
was an instructor in physics and
chemistry in the University of War
saw and for some years before en-
tering upon her professional career as
scientist, she worked in his labora-
tory Mime. Curie received the Nobel
prize for chemistry in 1903.
She married in 1896 Pierre Curie,
professor of general physics in the
University of Paris. who had shared
with her the honor Of collaboration
in giving her great find ITO the world
Some years later Professor Curie was
struck by wagon in Paris and kill
cd. His widow succeeded to his pro-
censorship. Madame Curie has two
children. Irene, 20 years old who, like
her mother has taken up scientific
research and another daughter of IS
years.
The discovery of radium enriched
many persons throughout the world.
1t has been estimated that its use
during the war saved the lives of not
less than $4,000 wounded men, Not
withstanding the fact that Madame
Cure has devoted more than half of
her SO years to the study of radio
active substances, she is a compar-
atively poor woman and lives when
at home at the Institut Curie in
Paris on the salary of a teacher at

she declared. 1T was not to enrich
anyone. 1t was for all people"

Washington.-The senate passed the

tionality resident in the United States
in 1910. The bill is effective for IA
months beginning fifteen days after
enactment.
The vote on passage was rs to l,
Senator Reed (Democrat) Of Missouri
opposing the measure.
AS sent to conference, the measure
would allow no exemption for any
class of race or aliens in excess of
the go limitation and those entering
under treaties and agreements.
Provisions to exempt those coming
here to escape religious or political
persecution from the go limitation
were contained in the bill as it passed
the house, but were stricken out by
the senate immigration committee
when it amended the house bill and
substituted the original senate meas
ure in its place.
Senator Johnson, (Republican) of
California sought to have this provision
reinserted by offering an amendment
from the floor, but was defeated 60 to
Is. Sharp clashes occurred during the
debate on the amendment, opposing
senators charging that its adoption
would open the doors to hundreds of
thousands.

in relation to public policy we're read
at the meeting of the executive coun-

The influence of European business
and financial conditions of the United

John r. McHugh of New York, chair
man of the commerce and marine COM

measure of legislation designed to re-
lieve the abnormal conditions at pres
ent existing in trade and industry"
was sounded in a report OF the eco
nomic policy commission, of which
Paul NJ Warburg is chairman.
The position taken by John S. Drum
of San Francisco, president of the
association, in an address urging the
creation of instrumentalities for extern
sion Of credits to foreign buyers was
supported by Mr.. McHugh.
There is no constructive work at
this time more worthy of the whole
hearted support of the bankers and
business men of this country" he
said, in his report, than that of pro
viding adequate financial organization
after extending long time loans to re-
sponsible foreign interests who would
use the proceeds to pay for American
products of which they stand in great
need"
A report of the savings bank divi-
sion opposed development of govern
ment organizations to the extent of
creating competition with savings in
situations. The council also decided
to make a crusade against bank rob-
bers because of the crime wave.
Approval of the McFadden bill Gre
