touched with Tolstoyan sentimentality. Now ''the
eternal student" begins to rise up in her. The little
child who at FIVE stood in rapt awe before her
fathers containing the 'physics apparatus"
reawakens in the girl of l8. Her duties COVER
ness do not prevent her from studying. She has
no money, not even for stamps SO that she may
write to her brother.
But 'T am learning chemistry from

elementary chemical experiments in a real labora-
tory and at last after inconceivable setbacks and
economies, after years of weary waiting, she goes
to Paris to study at the Sorbonne
On 40 rubles a month Manya (now Marie)
Sklodowska lives, studies, learns. Solitude, near
starvation, an unheated garret - none of these
things matters, long at least part of her day
is spent in the laboratory. Now even the miser-
able 40 rubles cease. She is about to return in
despair to Warsaw when she is given 6OO-rubel
scholarship. few years afterward, with the first
money she earns a scientist, she returns the
amount of the scholarship SO that some other poor
student may be assisted by it.

Marie Curie: "An unbe1ievably dramatic life

who struggled against adversely and became
triumphant success. The story of Marie Curie
lies precisely in the fact that she was happiest
during her struggles and least happy when the
world acclaimed her. Hers is success story with
an ironic twist. Einstein said, Marie Curie is,
of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame
has not corrupted" "She did not know how to
be famous" says Eve Curie. In one deliberate
sentence of her introduction, she strikes to the
heart of the secret:
81 hope that the reader may constantly feel,
across the ephemeral movement of one existence,
what in Marie Curie was even more rare than her
work or her life: the immovable structure of a
character; the stubborn effort of an intelligence;
the free immolation of human being that could
give all and take nothing, could even receive moth
ing; and above all the quality of soul in which
neither fame nor adversely could change the
exceptional purity
Recall that unbelievably dramatic life.
She is born Manya Sklodowska, youngest child of
Warsaw physicist and sensitive, tubercular
mother. The childhood is unhappy, torn by the
death of mother and eldest sister, rendered over
serious by poverty, given a certain tenseness by
the fact that she is a member of a subject race, the
Poles. She grows up, becomes the conventional
intellectual rebel of her time, like AL the little
Polish girls who had gone mad for culture" She
is intelligent, but nothing yet reveals that i'm

so that can put it on afterwards to go to the
laboratory"
1t is perfect marriage, the marriage not merely
of two people who love each other but, what is in
comparably more interesting and important, of
two great physicists who can help each other. 1t
is Marie, attracted by the uranium researches Of
Henri Becquerel, who starts herself and her hus-
band on the long, tedious glorious path at the end
of which lies radium.
They know that radium and polonium (named
by Marie to commemorate her beloved native land)
exist, but they must prove it. From 1898 to 1902,
in a dilapidated leaking, freezing shed, with
primitive apparatus, with little or no help, un-
aided by the scientific bureaucracy or by the State
these two gentle fanatics work in an absorption
that is like dream. The government is too busy
spending money on armament to buy them the
few tons of pitchblende they need. Somehow they
get their ptchblende paying for its transportation
themselves out of their insufficient salaries.
With ''her terrible patience" Marie, doing the
work of four strong men, pounds away at her
chemical masses. Somewhere in this inert brown
stuff lies radium. Marie loses Is pounds during
these five years. At last they isolate the element.
All this time they have been bringing
up family. The family includes two daughters
destined for fame second only to their parents
- writer Eve and scientist Irene. They have had
sorrows, family illnesses. Pierre's mother has

In his widespread victory Kee-

while Mendinhall carried only six.
Among the 29 districts in which

That shift was emphasized by
Etate Tax Commissioner Alexan-

chairman, in his Interpretation of
the election results. He said:
'The lop-sided victory by Ralph
keenan, proves that registered vot-
ers in both parties support the
Governors program of reforms be-
fore taxes. This was the major
issue in Mr.. Keenan's campaign
and the fact that he won IL dis

Democrats in 1858 shows clearly
how the taxpayers feel about this
question.
