MME. CURE CALLED FRST WOMAN OF AGES AT SMT College Confers Doctor’s De- gree—Scientist Not in Good Health. NORTHAMPTON, Mass,, May 14.— With pleturesque ceremonies in John M. Green Hall, Smith College, yester- day afternoon, conferred the honor- ary degree of doctor of science on Mme Marie Curie, discoverer of radium, Holding out the parckment to the sad-faced, quiet woman, President William Allen Nielson hailed her as: “First among women of all ages for the brilliance, magnitude and signi- ficance of her scientific discovery, the beer of the greatest benefactora of mankind in the unselfishness with which she has devoted without tax or toll the results of her research to the service of humanity.” Mme. Curie responded in @ barely audible voice, but in pure, pleasant English, expressing her thanks for the honor to herself and the recogni- tion given to her work. The distinguished visitor was ob- yiously not in good health, She has epparently not recovered from the ocean voyage. The journey to North. ampton was undertaken against her sician’s advice, ter the converation ceremonies, the entire stud body, dressed in white with clas rtbbons of yellow, red, purple and green, formed a guard of honor along the path to the li- brary, Mme. Curie, accompanied by Mrs, William B, Meloney, Chairman of the Marie Curie Radium Commit- tee, and Mrs, William G. Mead of No. 11 West lith Street, New York City, walked between the white-clad ranks, followed by the faculty, President Seelye and a number of dis- tinguished guests, including Mrs. Cal- vin Coolidge and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. ins ‘w It Goodhue of Burling- t in behind the procession the students massed around the H- brary steps and chanted: turie, to you we sing. the future, what'er time may bring, Remember this college, remember that we Your loyal friends will be” A sheaf of red roses was then pre- sented to the scientist in the name of the French department, and a lane of honor was formed to the chemistry building, where @ recep- tion followed. Among the most .tnterested wit- nesses of the observances were Irene and Eve Curie, who stood a little apart on the green. There {s a dis- tinct contrast between the two dnughtors of Mme. Curie, who both displayed so much eagerness to learn from the Inside something of toe much talked of “American college life.” visitors to a college play, “A ‘Thou- sand Years Ago,” in the evening and gave a late fudge party afterward Mme.

Wine is now drunk at meals as commonly in Cuba as on the continent It is mostly of Gpanish vintage, for nearly 90 per cent. of the wine Importations are from Spain. Though the teland is admirably adapted to the culture of stapes, the industry was pro- hibited under Spanish rule because it would interfere with the Spanish trade and the island has not yet the extensive vineyards which it will have Jater on. “Havana is now as clean as any American city,” Mr. Jones asserted, “for the streets are swept several times daily; in the garb of the street sweepers and the methods which they use, one sees a tribute to the work of the late Col. George E Waring jr., former head of the street cleaners of New York.” ee A glance at almost any hotel lobby during this week proved that visitors were ahead of New Yorkers #0 far as straw hats are concerned. While on the etreet only one man in a hundred had his new alfalfa toppiece, the peo- ple from out of tuwn rushed the season. On sunny days, one man in five wore a straw or Panama; of the larger hotels, the Belmont proved the most conservative in this respect. ‘The answer is easy. The traveller, on his return to Montpelier or Bay City, shows the new hat to his friends. “Right from Broadway,” he as- eerts. “They're wearing this kind tn New York this season.” . “The Chinese and Japanese are very fond of American theatricals and movie films, but they do net care for English plays," declared Mrs. Kath- erine B. Keeler, who has been in the Far East for the past three years and is now at the Hotel Astor, “The Chinese are a lovable people when you know them,” she went on, “and © of the women are very beauti- It was a surprise to me to go into the shops and see the dainty gowns, The galeswomen are wonder- fully polite and their manners are ite. rican industrial schools near Canton are now giving Chinese wom- an opportunity to develop their tic tendencies, Mrs, Keeler said. ‘In the Mongollan Desert, how- ever,” she declared, “there is now a er deal of suffering because of famine. The natives there ratse great quantities of beans which are pressed into cakes whioh measure two feet in length and are five inches thick. ‘This is their only food, and because of the lack of variety, many are flicted with stomach and blood dis- orders, “The better class in China rise at daybreak and take a walk, and on “Make it Pm naa a ee tls) a Setanite ecg remy " THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY jTeturning have a cup of tea and a wafer, ‘Then comes the bath, and breakfast at 9 o'clock. The men go to work an hour later, Tiffin 1s from 1 to 2, followed by a siesta, and all work ceases at § o’clock.” * “It Is time that American art schools ceased to be nurseries for European schools,” asserted Herman N. Matzen of the Cleveland School of Art, who jg now at the Pennsylvania, Mr. Matzen ts on his way to Scandinavian countries and plans to study the methods of making Danish pottery and Swedish tapestries, “We have reached a stage in this country,” he continued, “where we need @ national art of our own, and this we cannot have until we train artists here according to American ideals. The trouble with most of our young artists is that they expect to be millionaires by the time they are twenty-five, and while this ition is laudable in some respects, it does not help American art. “Many art schools are supported by wealthy men in the United States. I feel sure that if we could prove that there is a place and a demand they would be willing to endow an Ameri- can National Academy.” “Neither partisan polities nor religious differences should have any part in the work of the mod- ern Chamber of Commerce,” ac- cording to Clatence A. Cotton, General Secretary of the Provi- . dence Chamber, who is at the Biltmore; “nor should too much attention be given to Interests which affect only a small propor- tion of the commnminity.” Mr. Cotton says Providence is growing fast, and that “it is jast like New York, because something new and Interesting is always go- ing on there.” . Prohibition seems to make no dlf- ference in the number of keys lost, misplaced or carried away by guests of five New York hotels, for during a year 34,000 keys have to be replaced. ‘To grow the flowers and plants used anmually requires greenhouses which would extend for twenty city blocks. More than 500,000 blossoms are placed on the tables, at an annual cost of $160,000. ——EE— SHOOTING RAPIDS, CANOEIST DROWNS Francts Walsh Loses Hard Struggle in Backwash of Rahway River Falls. Francis Walsh, nineteen, of Cran- ford, N. J., lost a struggle for tife in the backwash below the Union Avenue Falls In the Rahway River there yes- terday afternoon, while dozens of per- sons on the bank tried to help him, ‘The drap over the falls !s normally about ten feet, but the recent rains swelled the river so that at that point it showed a swiftly rolling incline only two or three feet high. Walsh and Frank Malpree, twenty-three, also of Cranford, decided to shoot the falls in a canoe. They paddled down there at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, pushed the canoe forward and down the incline. It upset in the foaming water a dozen feet below the falls. Malpree imme- diately swam out ond reached shore after a hard pull. Walsh was able to keep himself afloat, but was gradu- ally pulled down by the backwash. A rope thrown to Walsh foll short. Chiet of Police Hennessey plunged into the river in an effort to save him. Hennessey almost sank in the churning water and was compelled to swim back to shore. Tying a rope about his waist, he went back into the water, while men on shore held the rope. Edward Rosendale and Thomas Woods jr. grappling from a canoe, brought Walsh's body to the surface |juet before midnight within thirty | feet of where the canoe upset. with Milk” You Will Recognize The Quality in “‘Sealect”’ Milk One trial will prove its superiority FOR eighty years Sheffield has striven to produce the best in milk and milk products.
