PARIS. March 2i.--Poverty?---
II at oil.
Biffernesss--maybe just bit, be-
inse all his life her husband want
an adequate laboratory and did
u get IL.
These are, perhaps, the high spots
n talk had with Madame Marie
arie, who has been called the
seatcst woman in the world--dis-
syerer Of radium and polonium.
Listen TO Madame Curie:
PovcrtyY But no, mol And yet it
] depends upon what you mean by
overty. If you mean not having
fine mansion with plenty of ser
ants and automobiles; if you mean
OF going out into the great world
I society and wealth and fashion
there clothes and jewels are so es-
enfial, well, in that way Pierre
'urie and | knew poverty all our
ays.
But that was not his idea of life
or mine. You see my tastes are
cry simple and my worldly wants
cry few. ] live where my hus-
,and and I lived for years. It's a
,lain little place, but ii IS comfor-
able
J would like you to see Madame
Eurie as she was saying this. Che
was dressed in n severe black 1ess
which certainly looked the ybrse
for wear. No vanity in this wbman.
Her iron-gray hair was brushed
back from her fine brow. Her
hands, as they law at rest in her
lap. showed the stains of work, not
only of laboratory research, but
of everyday housework.
To understand this woman You
have TO get her background. Her
father the Polish Professor Sklodo-
wski, was a teacher of physics and
chemistry in his native city of
Warsaw. When she grew up she
came to Paris to pursue her studies
Mt the Sorbonne. She lived in n
tiny room on the seventh floor of
n building in the Latin Quarter.
She lugged up her own coal and
did her own cooking and washing.
Married Curie In 1895
1t was at the Sorbonne that she
met Pierre Curie, already teacher
there and on the high road to fame.
They were married in 1895 and their
home consisted of three little rooms.
AT one time Madame Curie was
doing three things any one of
which the ordinary woman would
have considered good days job
she ran her household and looked
after her first born; she taught at
high school for girls at Sevres;
and in their spare time, she and her
husband pursued their great .ehemi-
cal researches in laboratory in a
half barn and half-shed, and impos-
sible TO heat in winter.
Their love story, which began
with their first meeting, had n
tragic finale in 1906 when Pierre
Curie was run over and killed. His
widow succeeded him in his chair at
the Sorbonne, one of the highest
DONORS ever paid a woman by
France.
Madame Curie went on in her
talk:
"My husband always insisted and
I agreed that the gredt thing in
life was accomplished Of the task
for the love Of il. When we dis
covered radium, we both resolved to
draw no material profit from it.

PULLEY FINED 81
In GUN CASE

This is a case in which a gun
caused all the trouble. And the
gun was not fired nor did it contain a
shell during all or part of the per-
iod during which the trouble brewed.
The gun. a Smith & Wesson, is
said to belong to one Donald BOWL
ing Bowling was arrested for
some cause or other (probably boot
Logging or moonshine-this is just
the editors note) and the gun was
taken from him by Sheriff LOOMS.
Later on the charges were dismissed
against Bowling and he was re-
leased. In leaving the sheriff's Of
fee he failed to get his property
n vas soon forced to go to Bill
1ings for medical treatment, il is
said.
During the meantime Under-Sher-
if Pulley. taking a liking to BOWL
inS's gun, carried it rather than
his . 1t was lighter and more
comfortable. Later Bowling re
turned and demanded his gun, ask
ing Pulley for same. and in turn
was told that he would nave to get
an order from Loomis. This peeved
Bowling who commended that he was
entitled to a return of his property
without so much red tape, and he
not only got the order which he
sold to the Brundage Hardware,
but he signed a complaint against
Pulley for the recovery of the gun.
and a hat which he also claimed
the u~ndersherif had appropriated.
The ridiculous part of the whole
proceedings is hat Pulley, although
admitting the possession of the pro-
perty, stood ready to return same
and was pretty much taken I'M
awares when served with the war
rant The hearing was held this
forenoon before Judge Marston and
the court fined Pulley 81 and costs.
The decision of the court was based
upon the testimony of Sheriff Loom
is who testified that at no time had
he given Pulley the property in
question. which by all rights
should have been left in possession
of the sheriff's office at the time
Pulley handed in his resignation.

Bad Plugs Cause Missing
and Jerking of Motors

There are few things more annoying
to the motorist than a missing, skip
ping motor. Besides the certainty
that this condition is imposing a Sc
rious strain upon the engine, clutch,
transmission and the rest of the pro-
polling system of the car, due to the
irregularity of the power impulses, it
means increased gasoline and oil con-
sumption and carbonized cylinders.
Too frequently motorists are prone to
suspect the carburetor and start to
tinker with the adjustments, when, as
a matter of fact, there is nothing the
matter with the mixture The whole
trouble may be due to uneven spark
gaps, caused either by bending the
electrodes Internationally in removing
or cleaning the plugs, and sometimes
in replacing them, or by the points
becoming pitted to such an extent that
the gap is materially widened. By
spacing the gap so that there is a
space of one thirty-second of an
inch between the actual firing surfaces
of the two points this condition may
be quickly and easily corrected.

Plan to Keep Windshield
Clear in Moist Weather

1t is always annoying when at the
last moment one is in hurry to
take UP a meal or coming from out
of-doors into a warmer temperature,
to find the lenses of ones glasses sud
denly clouded with steam.
Prevent this by washing the glasses
perfectly clean Dry them on soft
cloth, and then rub with cloth which
has been moistened with very small
amount of paraffin oil. All that is
needed is the thinnest film 70 coat the
surface. yet not enough to attract
dust This coating prevents the mois-
ture touching the glass. 1t is convent
ent to have cloth ready prepared.
The same plan is excellent 60 keep the
windshield of the automobile clear in
damp weather.

Bull DING
TOURIST BUSINESS
GROWING RAPIDLY

Because the American people have,
almost lover night, developed into a
nation on wheels, the tourist business
has become one of the really big in
dustries of the country. In fact, there
are more automobiles in the United
States than there are telephones, and
that people are getting the habit of
using their cars for sightseeing pur-
poses is proved by the reports from
various scenic centers.
Wealth in quantity is spent where
the tourists go. 1t is spot cash
proposition, and if positive figures
could be secured as to the amount of
money spent every year by motor
tourists, the total would undoubtedly
be surprising. Take California for
example This state has grown to be
the wealthy commonwealth it now is,
largely because of farsighted plan
laid out some years ago for attracting
holding it. Prior to the San Diego
and San Francisco exp6sitiOns, Cali
fornia laid great mileage of concrete
boulevard. fifteen feet wide and four
inches thick. The state engineers
knew at the time that the roads
weren't thick enough to hold the fu-
ture heavy traffic, and so officially
termed the pavement concrete base"
planning later to put on a top sur
face. In 1915 the state laid SIS miles
of this road. Today California has
about $500 miles of permanent con-
crete road to delight the tourist.
What this good roads program meant
to California is shown by the records
of the various tourist bureaus. The
California State Automobile associa-
ton estimates that there were APP
proximately 100000 tourists during

Remove Scratches From
Car Body With Shellac

A car owner naturally takes pride
in the finish of new car and endeav-
ors to retain it's mirror-like luster as
long as possible. But when work must
be done on the car the finish often
suffers Often button will scratch
it's way along a fender or the slip
ping of a screwdriver will leave an un-
slightly bIemish. A method which has
often given satisfaction, says the Au-
tomobiIe Digest, is to apply several
coats of thin shellac until the scratch
has been completely filled. When the
last coat has dried it is rubbed with
crocus cloth and little olive oil, just
enough to rub out the ridges where
the new and old coats join.
Crocus cloth, used extensively by
Jewellers, is a polishing cloth of a
much finer grade than the finest emery
cloth and will rub down a surface
without the semblance Of scratch.
After no signs remain of where the
two coats join rundown with a good
body polish will render the touch-up
inconspicuous and restore the surface
to it's original appearance.
