Tt was a proud moment in the life of Mme. Marie Curie, the world- famous scientist, discoverer of radi- um, as she faced the President of the United States yesterday afternoon, in the historic east room of the White House and heard from his lips the appreciation and affection of the American people. It was an impressive and inspiring occasion, and there was assembled in the big room at the time several hun- dred distinguished men and women. At the conclusion of his remarks, President Harding preit'nl!’? :o 'lr:e noted Polish-Franco scientist one gram of radium, valued at $100,000. the gift of hundreds of women in America. The gram of this precious, inysterious metal force was contained in o mahogany case, and as he placed it in her hand. the President gave to her a small key of gold metal to unlock the container. v e i ine.

Curic follows: Madame Curie: It is with an es- pecial satisfaction that 1 perform the pleasant duty which has been assigned to me today. On behalf of the American nation I greet and welcome you to our country, in which you will everywhere find the most corgjal possible reception. We welcome you as an adopted daugh- ter of France, our earliest sup- porter among the great nations. We greet you as a native-born daughter of Polnd; newest, as it is also among the oldest, of the great nations, and always bound by ties of closest sympathy to our own republic. In you we see the representative of Poland restored and reinstated to its rightful place, of France valiantly maintained in the high estate which has ever been its right. As a nation whose womanhood has been exalted to fullest partici- pation in citizenship, we are proud to honor in you a woman whose work has earned universal acclaim and attested woman's equality in every intellectual and spiritual ac- tivity. We greet you as foremost among scientists in the age of science, as leader among women in the gen- eration which sees woman come tardily into her own. We greet vou as an exemplar of liberty's vic- tories in the generation wherein liberty has won her crown of slory. In ‘doing honor to you we testify anew our pride in the ancient friendships which have bound us to both the country of your adop- tion and that of your nativity. We exalt anew our pride that we have stood with them in the strug- gle for civilization, and have touched elbows with them in the march of progress. Understands Sacrifices. It has been your fortune, Mme. Curie, to accomplish an immortal work’ for humanity. We are not without understanding of the trials and sacrifices which have been the price of your achievement. We know something of the fervid purpose and deep devotion which inspired you. We bring to you the meed of honor which is due to pre-eminence in science, schol- arship, research and _ humani- tarianism. But with it all we bring something more. We lay at your feet the testimony of that love which all the generations of ™ men have been wont to bestow upon noble woman, the unselfish wife, the devoted mother. If, in- deed, these simpler and commoner relations of life could not keep you from great attainments in the realms of science and intellect, it is also true that the zeal, ambi- tion and unswerving purpose of a lofty career could not bar you from splendidly doing all the piain but worthy tasks which fall to every woman's lot. A number of years ago a read- er of one of your earlier works on radioactive Substances noted the observation that there was much divergence of opinion as to wheth- er the energy of radioactive sub- stances is cregted within thoge substances themselves, or is gath- ered to them from outside sources, and then diffused from them. The question suggested an answer which is doubtless hopelessly un- scientific. I have liked to believe in an analogy between the spirit- ual and the physical world. I have been very sure that that which I may call the radioactive soul, or spirit, or intellect—call it what you may choose—must first gather to itself, from its surroundings, the power that it afterward radiates in beneficence to those near it. I believe it is the sum of many inspiratiohs, borne in on great souls, which enables them to warm, to scintillate, to radiate, to illumine and serve those about them. I am so sure of this explanation for the radio- active personality that I feel some- how a conviction that science will one day establish a like explana- tion for radioactivity among in- animate substances. Sees Analogy for World. Perhaps, In my innocence of science. I am airily rushing_in where eclentists fear to tread. But 1 am trying to express to you my conviction that the great™ things achieved by great minds would never have hegn wrought without the inspiratiof of an appealing need for them. MT'hat appeal comes as inspiration {§§ successful effor: and success in turn enables t outgiving of benefits to 4ffillions ‘whose only contribution has been in the power of their united appe Let me press the analogy a lit- tle farther. The world today is appealing to its statesmen, its so- ciologists, its humanitarians, and its religious leaders for solution of appalling problems. 1 want to hope that the power and univer- sality of that appeal will inspire trong, devout, conmsecrated men { and women to seek out the solu- { tion. and, in the light of their wisdom, to carry it to all man- kind. T have faith tn believe that precisely that will happen: and in your .own career of fine achieve- ment I find heartening justificu- tion for my faith, “In testimony of the affection of the American people. of their con- fidence in your scientific work, and of their earnest wish that your genius and energy may receive all encouragement to carry forward your efforts for the advance ot science and conquest of disease, I have been commissioned to present to vou this little phial of radium. To vou we owe our knowledge and on of it. and 50 Lo You We confident that in_vour it 1 be the means to unveil the fascinating secrets of nature, to widen the 1d of useful knowledge, to alle- ate suffering among the children of man. Take it to use as your i wisdom shall direct and your pur- pose of service shall incline you. Re sure that we esteem it but a small earnest of the sentiments for which it stands. It befokens ‘the affection of one great people for another. It will remind you of the love of a grateful people for vourself: and it will testi the useful work to which you will de- vote it, the reverence of mankind for one of its foremost benefac- tors and most beloved of women. Deeply Affected by Words. Tt was plainly evident that Mme. rie was deeply affected. Tn accept- ing the gift_ her remarks were brief, but filled with feeling. “Mr. President and Mrs. Harding."” she «aid, “I cannot express to you the emotion’ which fills my_ heart in this moment. You. the chief of this great republic of the Useited States, honor me as no woman has ever been hon- ored in America before. “The destiny of a nation women ean do _what yvours did today, o further whose “T accept this rare gift.

Sherrill, chief aid to the M. Jusserand, th&® French serand; Mrs. dent Pre: ambasador, and Mme. Ju Wilham Brown Meloney of New York, who originated the idea of presenting ! to Mme. Curie the radium: Mrs. Ver: non Kellogg. secretary of the Mme. Curic committee of the District of Columbia; Mrs. Robert Mead of the national Mme. Curie committde. Miss Marion Harlan, Mrs. Harding's social secretary, and Mme. Curie and her two daughters. A few words of explanation .and greeting from the French ambasagor opened the ceremonies. He then in- troduced ‘Mrs. Meloney, who in the name of the Marie Curie radium com- mittee asked the President to pre- sent the gift, which, she said, “repre- sents the best of American woman- hood in every state in our Union.” “The gift.,” she said. “is gignificant of the new day which has brought added responsibilities, and privileges that women should have succedsfully carried through a national campaign for a woman, and this movement was solely in the in- tereste of justice and humanity.” Following the presentation the President and his party and princi- pals took their positions in the blue room and shook hands with those who filed by. |GETS BIG FLORAL OFFERING.

There was a hush. “These flowers are very sweet, and I thank you again,” she said, simply) and sat down. Whereupon the gather- \fng applauded more loudly than be- ore. Mme.
