Early varieties of peaches grown in. the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, and in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia; are now on the market and will soon be followed by later varieties. This year 'the crop of peaches ; is a • good one, and the, quality' is excellent. Of all the fruits grown none is more lus- cious nor more healthful than peach- es. The following recipest may prove timely: Peach Ginger Shortcake 1/4 cup butter 1 egg % cup sour milk 1/E teaspoon ground ginger 11/4 cups flour % cup brown sugar plc cup molasses % teaspoon soda 1/s teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking po'wd'er.

Tipey're both strean�''inec). and both offer ; spectacular innovations in aa,c- comnlodations. In fact did you knew, that except for the color sohemeS, and some details of the diners and loco- motives, they are dentloai? These two rivals have always been friends, perhaps. because'cthey saw there was enough business for both, and that there wasn't any need to spend time and money just trying to outdo each other. They. were "launched" op, the same day, have made the' same chang- es, at the same timle, and run on the same schedule& throughout the years. In a sense, they pooled their ideas this time and both came out with new trains that in the luxury class are far ahead of anything else we've seen, though one—we can't tell you which right now—should really be.credited for originating the thing. Smooth Enough They both are drawn by steam loco- motives)—streamlined, yes, but still steam, chiefly because these roads op- erate in coal territory, and reflect a tendency in the East to let the West pioneer in the new Diesel field. To these riders who have more than sam- pled' the smoothness of Diesel -travel- ling there is a difference in the rid- ing `i�ualities of the two. They feel that no matter how well -coupled' the cars on these new steam drawn limit- eds, or how well built, how light,, and how well upholstered they are, there will remain something of that little surging motion which even the best of steam engines imparts to the train as the big drivers get it under way. That can't be wholly overcome except with a Diesel engine, whieh, you know makes electricity which in turn drives th•e, motors on the trucks of the loco- motive. Nevertheless in general the com- fort of these new trains is unsurpass- ed. They are composed of all -room cars, you know. No open sections at all. There are various types of rooms —some small, some like club rooms, all closed off from the others by walls and from the aisle by both zipper cur- tains and a door. Several Cars are devoted to so-called roomettes, little cozy single occupancy rooms, with' every conceivable convenience and comfort. One can set himself up here for the' overnight trip and not leave the room except for meals— and of course even those can be brought in, Theserooms are a • boon to those who like relative privacy, but to the gregarious person they may—and this was the case with your chief train' -tester --offer a little too much privacy. One can't see or hear his neighbors. He can't even see the scenery on the other side of the car unless both his door and the one op- posite are ,open and he wants to stretch his neck and perhaps embar- rass his neighbor. Guests of the Century, gliding along on a trial run to South Bend the other day, tried to think up comparisons to describe it. A moving palace, some- one suggested, but that *as trite and didn't seem to fit, for the train is ex- tremely comfortable, not stiff and for- mal like a palace. A club on wheels, someone else proposed, but that did not quite suit, either. Then a businessman, searching his Memory for , the most comfortable spot he knew of, settled the matter. "It's like a travelling hotel lobby." Since all kinds of hotel service are provided, in addition to lounging chairs of great comfort, that compari- son satisfied the other businessman. Leisurely Service Weather is perfect, for air-condi- tioning is the best. Dining car ser- vice is leisurely and expert. Informal arrangement of tables increases' the impression that one is not in a train but in a fine hotel. This arrange- ment takes more space, but the Century usually carries two diners anyway, so it doesn't make much dif- ference. When more than, 70 passen- gers ride the train a second diner is always added, staff members explain. This enables passengers . to take all the time they wish at the table. The Century encourages them to sit as long as they like. This/of course is all true 'also of the other twin ;the Pennsylvania, Broadway. It's difficult to judge the speed of these new faster cars. 1f the roadbed is good, the increased speed ,is not noticeable. But the brakemen gave the passengers a hint for judging vel- ocity. If you can just count'five rap- idly—one-two-three-four-five — between telegraph poles, you're going 90 miles' an hour. If you can't get up to five, then the train really is moving. Part Of the time on this trip the passen- gers found it hard to get up to five. -'Phe most impressive part about a ride on a silvery new s'treamtiner is FRUIT CROP REPORT Total cherry production this 'season is estimated at 123,600 bushels, as compared with 101,900 in 1937. A 3 per cent, decline in production of pears is indicated, with conditions so far very favorable for good sizing and clean fruit production. Tree and. fruit development of peaches is excellent, with minimum of fungus or insect •in- jury, apparent. While some early var- ieties have shown split -pits, the con - diner' is not expected to be more ser- ious than usual. The preliminary forecast of yield places the crop at 515,200 bushels as compared with 525,700 bushels last year. While the set of ,plums is very irregular, the ex- iatrng crop is now developing well, with only normal drop 'having taken place. Pests' are well udder control.

GREA TEST WOMAN SCIENTIST PO call Madame Curie, the discov- erer iscoverer of .radium,. the World's greatest woman scientist is putting the case mildly, says elan Ritchie Andersen in a recent article. Women had only begun to come into their own when she entered upon her. laboratory work in Paris and before eche died she was not only on an equal footing with the greatest scientists of Europe but was acclaimed by leaders in many lands. Maria Sklodowski, for that was her maiden name, was born in Poland of parents who were numbered among the :intellectuals. Her grandfather had divided phis .rime between agricul- ture and the directing of a. provincial college, and her father was Professor of Physics and Mathematics in one of the lyceums of Warsaw. Her mother, before her marriage, was director of one of the best schools for young girls in Warsaw. Poland in Her Youth Poland was under the domination of Russia when Madame Curie was young and the police kept a strict watch over the schools. Children were forced to speak the Russian lan- guage when they could, scarcelyrs+peak their native Polish, and diplomas were obtainable only from the Government schools. Speaking of her awn child- hood, Madame Curie said that the joy was taken out of life through feelings of,„distrust and indignation, and that this; abnormal situ'atidn resulted :n exciting patriotic feeling of the bdgh- est degree in the youth of the coun- try. In 1876, when she was only nine years old, a double tragedy came to the Sklodowski home when the oldest sister, fourteen years old, and the mother, aged forty-two, were both called by death. There were three girls and a boy, ranging in ages from nine to thirteen, to share the father's loneliness. As for Marie, it was the first great sorrow of Jeer life, and years afterwards she spoke of the pro- found depression into which it threw her. . One pleasant rem+esnbranee of her childhood she always cherished.' This was the reunion o relatives and friends of the famy and the little poems on such. ev' ts,-• composed) : by her father, who, vias very much inter- ested in literatua•e-• On Saturday ev- enings he used to recite or read to his children the masterpiebes of Pol- ish prose and poetry, and from this beginning Marie developed a strong taste for poetry and the literature of other countries besides her own. Taste For Mathematics and Physics Her mother had been a musician, .and she had intended her children to have a knowledge of the art, but with her death music seemed to pass out of the home. Marie often regretted this afterwards. Mathematics and physics she learned easily and her father encouraged her' in these stu- dies. Her •one brother became a doc- tor and was chief physician in one of the principal Warsaw hospitals. Her elder sister studied medicine, taking her degree in the University of Paris and she married a doctor. She and her husband established a sanatorium in a mountain place of Austrian Pol- and. The other sister married in Warsaw and for many years She was a teacher in one of the schools. Marie was fifteen when she finish- ed her High , School studies and as she was growing quickly she wa.s sent to the country for a year's rest with friends. Her ambition was to return to Warsaw and become a teacher but a 'different destiny await- ed her.. Through the state of the fam- ily finances she was obliged to ac- cept a position as governess when she was barely seventeen, and from then on, she lived an independent life, There were three children in the fam- ily on the' estate where she taught, and as her duties with her pupils did not take up all her time, she organiz- ed a small class for the children of the village. weho could not be educat- ed under the Russian government.

Se of the nation by improving them- selves and at the same time provide means of instruction for workmen and peasrants. They established evening courses of study and each taught the thing he knew best. Of course it was a secret organization. Writing of this time of ber life Madame Curie said, "I still believe that the ideas which inspired us then are the only way to real social pro- gress- You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be the most useful." Several years later Marie's sister was married in Paris, and in Novem- ber, 1891, the student of mathematics and physics had the great pleasure of leaving for France to take up a four years' course at the Sorbonne. For a short time she lived with her sister but afterwards she took a modest lit- tle room and furnished it with the barest of necessities. During the first year she formed frien'd'ships with oth- er Polish students but soon she re- alized that all her energies must be concentrated on her .studies and so she gave up these dee. Hard Work Rewarded In Autobiographical Notes published by The Macmillan Company in 1923, she refers to this period saying: "We taught the little children and the 'girls who wis'had to come, '.how Unread and write, and we put in circulation Pol- ish books which were appreciated', too, by the parents. Even this inno- cent work presented danger, as all in- itiative of this kind was forbidden by the government and might bring im- prisonment or d'epor'tation to Siberia." Her evenings were given up to stu- dy for she intended to fif herself for the University. She was interested in literature and sociology as•well as in mathematics and physics,and, as for the study of Nature, she said, `,RAIL my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child." Little by little the truth was forced upon her that mathematics and phys- ics were to be her ilfe study and she prepared herself seriously for real work along these lines. First Love Affair Marie suffered disappointment in her first love'affair while she was a governess and after about a year she returned p,to her father in Warsaw. There' •slhe plead) an enthusiastic group of young Mien and women whose desire was td 'stn d y and at the saitite 'time to engage in social and pat riotio .etivittg* -They hoped to bet- ter the Moral and •intellectual strength Hard work soon 'brought its own re - wand for in 1893 she had the satisfac- tion of graduating in first rank as "licenciee es sciences physiques," and the next year as "licenciee .es sciences mathematiques." Her brother-in-law used to refer to this time as "the heroic period of my sister-in-law's Iife.'1 It was in 1894 that she first met Pierre Curie. They were intro- duced at the home of one of Marie's compatriots who was a professor in the eniversity of" Fribourg, and after the first meeting Pierre asked if he might see her again s'o that they might continue their conversation on scientific and social subjects. Their work drew them closer to- gether and in July, 1895, they were married. There were no wonderful wedding clothes but Marie's father and second sister carne; from Poland for the ceremony. Their home was a little three -roomed apartment with '•a beautiful view of a garden," and: with money given them from a relative - they "acquired two bicycles to take us out into the country." Pierre "had just received itis doc- tor's degree and had been appointed professor in the School of Physics' and Chemistry' of the City of Paris. Marie was engaged in experimental researoh in the hope of getting her doctor's degree. A year after she was married' she took an examination to entitle her to be named professor, and her name headed the list when the results came, out. ]in 1897 Pierre, Curie completed and published. the 'conclusions. reached through his researches in c'rys'tals, and along with it was the 'result cf his wife's investigation of the mag- netic properties of steel. That year the elder of their two daughters was born. About the end of 1897 the Curies began the work that was to make them renowned as the discover- ers of radium_ Thesis For Doctor's Degree- , In search of a theme for her doc- torate, Madame Curie was drawn to the interesting experiments of Henri Becquerel on the salts of the rare metal, uranium. It was this study that led to the 1iiscovery of radium, in December, 1898. A supply of the ore pitchblend was needed, and en Bo- hemia a mine was worked by the Austrian Government for the extrac- tion of uranium. The Curies manag- ed' to secure several tons of the resi- dues of this mine for a moderate price through the influence of the Academy of Sciences in Vienna, and then their work began in earnest. They had only a makeshift labora- tory and the work was exhausting. While Pierre continued 'his investiga- •tions on the properties of radium, Marie went ahead with experiments which led to the preparation of pure radium salts. Hers was very strew- uous work which included the moving about of heavy containers, the trans,- ferring of liquids from one container t•o another, and the stirring, for hours at a time, of the boiling liquid when her spoon was an iron bar. Money was scarce in the Curie ,household and the couple were oblig- ed to teach so that they might make both ends meet, but unlike the ordin- ary inventor, they refused to think of patent or copyright. They published without reserve all the results of their research as well as the exact process- es of the preparation of radium, for they felt that to ,them .had been: un- folded nfolded one of the Creator's secrets for the benefit of mankind. Honors began to be heaped upon them and in 1903, together with Henri Becquerel, they were alva'rded the Nobel Prize - for physics. Pierre Curie Dies In April, 1906, when Pierre -Curie's intellectual faculties were at their height, he was struck by a 'truck anti killed instantly while on .his way le attend a reunion of professors at the Faculties of the Sciences, in Paris Int order ct6 assure the continuance of his work the ;Faculty of Sciences ask- ed his wileto accept the place he had occupied in the university. In 1911 Marie Curie received, alone. the award' of the Nobel prize. Dar- ing the World Wareke rdered in- valuable service in M. drganizatioiz and manipulation of radiologic and radio -therapeutic services for the mili- tary hospitals. In 1921 she was in- vited to come to the United States with her two daughters and there she was presented with a gramme of rad- ium. It bed been bought with money Prom a fund started by Mrs. W. B. Meloney—"The Marie Curie Radium Fund"—and was a gift from the wo- men of the country. It was present! ed by President Harding, who enter- tained ber as guest at the White House. Mada.me Curie gave it to her laboratory. Newspapers ceibing out with 'headings "Radium's Inventor Re- ceives Inestimable Treasure Frost •• American Friends," might better have told the world that the greatest wo- man scientist had renounced a price- less gift for the benefit of humanity. Her most serious concern, in Iter last days, was the future of tlie Insti- tute of Radium. She died at Strmcel- lemoz, France, on July 4; 1934, a -vier tim of the radioactive bodies which, she and Pierre ,Thad discoveprd. Her doctor's finding was that shad diet) from "an aplastic pernicious anemia of rapid, feverish development. The bone-marro* did not react, -probably because it had been injured by a tong accumulation of radiations." Up till the present. the industry used hardly any methods except those eitablished by Pierre and Marie Curie. THE WORLD'S GOOD NEWS will come to your home every iiayi through.
