Notwithstanding the late Nine.
Curie's retiring manners and modesty,
she was a woman of great force AS
q girl in her teens she was active in
the patriotic movement for the free
dom of Poland, and in fact first fled
to France on becoming involved in the
student revolutionary organization
there. The short photographed
story of her life relates in a delightful
way her early struggles in Paris in her
little attic room, and her meeting with
the young scientist who later became
her husband; the rearing of her two
children and her untiring work in the
cause Of science. While her eldest
daughter followed in her footsteps, her
youngest daughter, Eve Curie, became
musician and playwright known in
the artistic circles of Paris.

when Nine. Curie received from Presi-
cent Hoover the $4,000 which was a
gift from the American friends of
scientific research, with which to pur-
chase radium for the use of the Curie
Laboratory in Warsaw. Nine. Curie,
who had always sacrificed everything
to her work and had lived in the ut
most simplicity, before the public
presentation of the gift, was shown
the beautifully embellished certificate
for the money when she was dressing
for the ceremony: On reading it over
she felt that the purpose for which it
was intended might be misinterpreted,

60 to her children, so she asked that

presented her with a gram of radium
in recognition of her services to

BY ROBERT CRAWFORD.

-HE recognition OF women as
cabinet caliber by Great Brit
ain in 1929 and a few years
Il later by President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt in the appointment
of woman as Secretary of Labor set
the ball rolling. and now France, al
though denying the vote to women, has
appointed three women as undersecre-
taries in the new cabinet.
The action of the French premier
M. Leon Blum, in appointing these
women to his cabinet is a forward
movement that has heartened the
women of France and raised the hope
long deferred that the vote for women
will be the logical outcome of the
present recognition. 1t does seem
somewhat anamalous to American and
English women that, while suffrage is
denied, there is nothing in the French
constitution against their holding Of
fee
Americans who met Nine Irene
Joliot-Culie when she visited this
country are particularly pleased with
her appointment by M Blum as un-
dersecretary for scientific research,
which is perhaps the most distin-
guished honor received by woman in
any country. She was in London when
named for the position, few back to
Paris. and upon her arrival at LIE
Bourget was accorded the official hon
ors given returning Ministers-anoth-

One of Officers Is Daughter
OF Co-Discoverers of Radium.
Nine. Joliot-Curie is the eldest
daughter of the late Pierre and Marie
Sklodowski Curie, co-discoverers oi
radium and joint recipients of the
Nobel Prize and many other worl6
honors. She succeeded her mother
as director Of the Curie Institute al
Paris and collaborates with her hus-
band, M. Frederic Joliot, in most OF
her scientific work, thus following the
example set by her father and mother
who during their married life worked
together in all scientific research. M
and Nine. Joliot-Curie also shared the
Nobel Prize in 1885 for their discovery
Of induced or artificial radioactivity
and the creation of new elements by
atomic bombardment.
Like the Secretary of Labor, Frances
Perkins, Nine. Joliot- -Curie frequently
uses only her maiden name and signs
all research papers just Irene Curie. u
When she married Frederic Joliot in
1925, he agreed to hyphenate the two
names and adopt it as a family name
She is said to have much OF the
simplicity of manner and shyness of
her distinguished mother. Nine. Joliot-
Curie was known 70 hundreds OF
American soldiers during the World
War. at which time she studied radi-
ology and nursing, did ambulance work
and helped train other nurses in the
use of rays. During her war work
though only in her teens. she was
outstanding in her sympathy with the
American boys and the many prob

perforations along the side which per-
mitted the air TO circulate.
It seems that in 1888 Aime Argand,
Swiss, made samp with a tubular
wick, so constructed as to allow air
to reach all portions of the flame,
thus increasing the combustion and
producing a light that at the time
was declared positively dazzling. The
chimney was first used by NJ Argand
in this lamp and there is still a
burner in use called the Argand
Burner.
Those metal or iron lamps in the
Smithsonian exhibit are most inter-
esting. but one or two Bohemian red
glass lamps seen over in the old mu-
scum were simply lovely; also some
early Colonial candle shades. In
passing, there are two beautiful tall
glass candle shades, Colonial, at the
Quickest old shop in Georgetown,
which may be had for $50. These
shades are very scarce. Down in

so enthusiastically to Elizabeth New

and government officials She is
quite as intriguing as her esthetic
portrait studies, in which she inter-
prets the soul and personality Of the

gay and laughing he will see himself
pictured in bright and glowing colors;
if sober and reflective in disposition

lamps of Early Christian
Days Are Recalled.

There is a lamp in the exhibition
at the Smithsonian that must be
similar to the early Christian lamps
carried by the 10 virgins of the Bib
lical parable. 1t is a pear-shaped,
or semi oval wrought iron lamp
which was known as a betty lamp
in the earlier part of the eighteenth
century, a period in which the lamps
in this country were largely of iron.
One-half Of the top. or cover, Of the
betty lamp is hinged to permit filling
with oil, the place for the wick being
at the small end of the pear. After
consulting an authority on early lamps
and lighting, 1t was found that the
early Christian lamps, while pear
shaped. with the wick at the small
end, had in the center Of the cover
perforated circle with pieces in the
shape Of a Greek cross-also several
