at tha ttime. htey were merely the Offsprings of very famous mOhter.
 Irene, followed her mothers footsteps and recently won a No- ble Prize for her scientific re- search. Eve, on the other hand Z deserted science and took to arts and letters.
 Eve as a child was very much interested in music. Consequently, she ardently studied the piano. In 1925, at the age of twenty-one, she made her debut in Paris. Fol lowing this she spent several years rendering recitals in the provinces and in Belgium.
 Not wishing to trade on the family name, Eve adopted a pen- name and became a famous French critic. She was also re- tained by an American publisher to write a biography of her moth CT which became a "beSt-seller."
 When she returned to the Unit ed States in 1889 for a second visit she was well-known in her own right. The biography of her mother had commanded wide spread attention and people were curious to hear the famous daugh- ter of Madame Curie.
 
 ', In January of tl4is year she came again to the United States for a Lecture tour covering thirty leading cities. Her topic was "Sci- ence and the Women" To make this tour she left her position in the Paris Office of the Bureau of Gems 'rship and Propaganda where she was director of women's activities.
 She stunned reporters who met her at Quarantine by appearing n a creation from her amazing Schiaparelli wardrobe. One fash ion reporter who covered her meetings wrote as follows: M
 
 "In any place in the world a beautiful young woman who make an entranc in Schiaparelli- or iginal is allowed to rest. on ,,her laurels a bit. She may even liter and make very little sense, Z and people are inclined to be lenient, but when beauty arrayed by Schi- aparelli ca discuss music, paint ing, science, writing and Inter- national affairs in any language you choose, the plot thickens."
 The plot, will continue to thick en, for Eve Curie is not the type of young woman who has buried her future behind her. The world will continue to hear much of this remarkable daughter of Madame Eve Curie.

Light cleansing creams, night creams which will do their work in twenty minutes or half an hour, greaseless hand lotions and founda- tion preparations are what inter- est the beauty-minded at this time of year.
 Light, cooling, summer creams and lotions replace the heavier varieties that we find SO neces- sary during winter weather.
 USE CREAM THAT
 MELTS EASILY
 Search for a cleansing cream which liquifies and becomes thin oil almost as soon as it touches your warm skin. Lay in a supply of bland complexion cream that contains plenty of. lanolin. You'll be wasing your face and neck Sev- eral times a day for the next four or five months. ...

 It was not until 1914 that the reluctant Miss Gordon became all eager, active member of the Car nation Troop of the Girl Scouts. The scouts were originally called guides" after the Scottish Girl Guides, on whom Juliette Low mod, eled her American troops. -. -''l'

Ordinarily the best placement for console pianos is flat against the wall or at right angles to the wall. Never set it across 8 corner unless you find this results in better tonal qualities. "A grand piano is usually placed with its long side against the wall. and since this is the instru- ment generally used by accomplish ed musicians, it is well to place the piano so that at least part of the keyboard is visible to others in the room. f7

the Finnish Ministry of Information.
The statement, made last night,
was read to correspondents as If it

scription of the Karelian Isthmus

mand. The ministry corrected this
impression today.
The renewed plea for aid Of all

however.
At the same time, the ministry
disclosed the foreign Office had sent

BERLIN, Feb. 14.--Upward Of
TOO Jews, routed from their homes
in Stettin on six and one-half hours
notice for mass removal, were on
trains today, presumably headed for
Poland, although their exact des.
tination was not disclosed.
The sudden removal order in
cluded virtually every Jew III the
Baltic town, only the sick and feeble
aged being exempted.
At 7:30 pm. Monday, Elite Guards
and Storm Troopers began visit
ing the homes Of Jews, telling them
to be ready to leave by 2 am.
S. A. and S. S. men took in
ventories Of property in the homes
and advised the Jews to prepare
final hot meals, because they prob
ably would not get warm food for
a considerable time. They were
permitted to pack only a few neces-
sites.
The Jews, ranging in age from
children few months old to per-
sons of TO, displayed great con-
sternation as they gathered in the
darkness of one of the coolest days
of the winter and were given rail-
road tickets.
Some were told their homes in
Stettin would be needed for Ger
mans returned to the Reich from
Baltic states.

Italy Shows Concern
Al Big Allied Force
In Near East
Press Questions British
Stand Thot Purpose
Is Purely Defensive

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Feb, 14.-Fascists dis
played growing concern today over
the mission OF the British French
military forces in the Near East
and the significance Of their REIN
forcement by Australian and New
Zealand troops.
Italy's Supreme Defense Council
met for the seventh successive day
and diplomatic circles considered 1t
likely the lengthy, secret discussions
were concerned with 1taly's position
in event Of any allied maneuver In
the Near East.
Newspaper dispatches, which
hitherto have taken a deprecatory
tone toward allied military opera
tons in that section, began to ques-
ton British press explanations that
the army's purpose was purely de-
fensive. Authoritative reports have
put the total allied strength in the
Near East at $4,000.
The so-called defensive aims of
Weygand''s army are not convinc-
ing" said London dispatch to La
Tribuna, referring to Gen. Maxine
Weygand, the French chieftain, who
apparently is slated to command
allied Near Eastern forces If war
breaks out there.
Several other Italian papers COM
mented in a similar tenor.
THE serious disturbance of Med
iterranean equilibrium caused by
these troops is to be noted, and it
is difficult to see how this disequi-
lbrlum can be reconciled with
agreements made with Italy," La
Tribuna said.
Britain was accused of dying
with the desire to complicate mat
tiers" and 1t was suggested one of
her projects might concern 1.-The

u. S. Ship Sinking Unlikely,
Officials Here Believe

By the Associated Press.
Government officials said today
German submarines legally could
sink an American ship forced to put
into British control port only after
1t had been ascertained that the
ship cargo was more than so per
cent contraband destined for Ger
many's foes.
Authorities here showed small
concern for the statement of a Ber-
lin spokesman which upheld the
sinking of Dutch liner and said
American ships in the same status
would be as fair victim.
American ships are forbidden by
the Neutrality Act from carrying
passengers or cargo to belligerent
ports.
If, therefore, an American ship
were required by the British to halt
at Gibraltar, for example, the pre-
sumption would be that the cargo
would be destined for Italy, Greece,
or some other neutral Mediterranean
country, and not for an enemy Of
Germany.
Under these circumstances, it was
held doubtful that a German sub
marine commander would risk reac-
ton by American public opinion
through sinking a vessel carrying
cargo to neutral.

New Building, Not Repairs,
Urged at Receiving Home

The Board of Managers of the
District Congress of Parents and
Teachers yesterday, at its February
meeting, advocated the erection Of q
new building at the Receiving Home
rather than repairs of the present
structure. At the same time reso-
luton was adopted indorsing the
installation Of hot water facilities in
all public school buildings where the
need is apparent.
The board also went on record for
the restoration to the budget of
$656,025, the amount asked for the
repairs of school buildings and
grounds. It was advocated that the
Board of Education be given COM
plete responsibility for the expendi-
ture Of such repair funds. At pres
ent the board merely furnishes
estimates. Actual repairs are then
left to the District Repair Shop. To
this end the board petitioned Con-
gress to investigate the overhead
and upkeep of this unit.
Donations Of $40 each were voted
to the blood bank and to the incu-
bator project sponsored by the
Woman's Auxiliary to the District
Medical Association.
Founders Day will be observed
Tuesday next at 1880 pm, with a
program in the boardroom of the
N. E. A. Building. Mrs. G. D. Lowe

A get-behind- the-censorship move
has been launched by the State De-

world developments without relying

foreign countries.
The department has arranged to
purchase short-wave radios for IL

Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the
Netherlands, Rumania, Turkey and
Yugoslavia.
Each radio is powerful enough to
get United States short-Wave news

Censorship is not stringent in all
those countries, but since most Of
them are small, extreme care is
taken in the news they print con-
