DEATH OF MME. CURIE
Few women have attained excep
tional eminence in the scientific world*
particularly in the field of original re
search. An amazing exception was Marie
Sklodowska Curie, co-discoverer of radium,
who died in France a few days ago, at the
age 66* She was unquestionably the great
est woman chemist and physicist who ever
lived, . * s.*
Mme. Curie was born in Warsaw, Po
land, and was a pupil of Pierre Curie in
Paris before their marriage. In ' 1898,
while experimenting with radioactive sub
stances in their laboratory they discovered
and isolated the powerful element to which
; they gave the name of radium. For this
epochal discovery the Curies were awarded
the Nobel prize in physics in 1903. For
achievements in chemistry Mme. Curie was
again given the Nobel prize in 1911.
Her husband was killed in an acci
dent in 1906, after which she succeeded
him as chief professor of physics in the
University of Paris. She visited America
a few years ago and was acclaimed by
scientists and the public.
During her years of experimenting
with radium, Mme. Curie, like numbers of
others who have worked with this power
ful and dangerous substance, suffered
from its effects, which contributed to the
illness which caused her death.
Thus she joins that noble band of |
martyrs who have sacrificed themselves |
for the benefit of humanity.
CASUALTIES OF JULY 4
According to early reports, 176 Amer
icans gave up their lives on Independence
Day this year, through accidents classified
as follows: Fireworks, 3; automobile, 69;
drowning, 70; other causes, 34. Many
hundreds were more or less seriously in
jured, and some may have died later.
This is a gruesome record but it shows
a marked improvement over those of other
recent years, especially that of 1931, when
483 persons were killed on July 4.
A nation-wide movement for a “safe
and sane” Fourth was started in 1906 by
James Keeley, a Chicago newspaper editor,
and as a result the number of deaths on the
nation’s birthday have been materially de
creased, especially from fireworks.
But there seems to be little progress
in reducing the heavy toll of lives taken by
automobile accidents and drownings, most
of which could be avoided by the exercise
of a reasonable degree of caution.
CENSORSHIP’S BLACK SHADOW
(Editor & Publisher)
If you believe in the right of man to
read and think and develop his world by
process of reason, the story our Geneva
correspondent sends this week is dis
couraging. He finds that 74 per cent of
the total population of Europe is today
living in the darkness Of censorship. In
ten European countries more than three
hundred millions are under government
dictation as to what they shall read and be
lieve.
Sixty millions more are now under
partial censorship. Less than 26 per cent
of the population enjoys anything like per
sonal liberty and expression of conscience.
In the whole civilized world, if that is not
too loose a term to be comprehensive, nine
tenths of the people live under some form
of censorship, ranging down to the ugly
muzzling of nations by Hitler and Mus
solini. The United States, as we proudly
know, possesses the highest degree of in
tellectual freedom of any nation.
Is it any wonder that Europe seethes
with war spirit? Fear is a concomitant of
ignorance and uncertainty. Superstitious
hate grows rank and poisonous in darkness,
turning into docile cannon fodder. The
“best minds’’ of Europe, responsible in
large part for the World War tragedy, con
tinue their grip on governments by reason
of insolent disregard of the human right to
know what is happening in the great
world.
What will be the end of this desperate
and almost universal restraint upon
thought and action? How long can the im
position continue without violent re
actions? Is it leading on to another holo
caust calculated to rob another generation
of its best blood, devastate its lands and set
bewildered civilization back into the gloom
of medievalism?
The Bulgarian’s coup d’etat was
pulled off at 5 o’clock in the morning. The
deposed government thought it was the
milkman’s horse.—Des Moines Register.

Au-increase of 70 per eeut more
visitors to Bermuda this year
than last, establishing au all time
record, is announced by the Fur
ness Bermuda Line, operating
the “Monarch’* and the “Queen
ol Bermuda.” In four recent
months the line carried 17,850
passengers from New York to
Bermuda, instead of 10,523 dur
ing the same period last year
Most of the visitors were
Americans bent on spending a
restful week or two in that
fairyland of colorful islands far
out in the Atlantic ocean, where
the climate is mild and balmy the
year around The remarkable
increase in traffic to Bermuda is
credited by the Furness passen
ger department to returning pros
perity. coupled with the severe
winter in the United States, and
the good service and food on the
two new pleasure ships, the
‘Monarch” and the “Queen,’’
built recently just for the Ber
muda trip. They are modern

theater and all modern conveni

Gathering momentum like the
proverbial snow ball rolling down
hill, gaining speed and bulk with
every foot it travels, the sale of
property in Martello Towers sub
division which closed yesterday
with a total of a quarter million
dollars, continues to move so swift
ly that buyers from Key West and
other parts of the state and coun
try are amazed. At the offices of
the Ladd company, headquarters
for the Burbank properties, it was
said that business has become so
great it is impossible to gather
data and total the sales to give an
accurate account of the totals.
This will be made as soon as the
rußh is over and the company’s ac.
eountants have a chance to com
pile their records.
Three new' members were added
to the rolls of the Rotary Club to
day when Thomas Retchings,
printer; Louis M. Fabian, security
broker and Morrison W. Taylor,
accountant, were taken in. The
Rotary Club ideas and purposes
were explained in a brief address
by William H. Malone, state sen
ator. who delivered an entertain
ing and instructive address on
“General Law Practice.’*
The members of Key West Tem
ple 20, Pythian Sisters, met at
their hall Monday night to greet
and entertain Mrs. Isabel Fal
streau, district deputy, who paid
her official visit to the local or
ganization. The district deputy
complimented the lodge on its pro
gress and forecast an increased
membership in a short time.
Three of the small buildings at
Fort Taylor were burned this
morning by orders of the com
manding officer. They were in
spected and condemned several
weeks ago. Someone on the street
saw the flames and an alarm of
fire was sent in. The apparatus ar
rived to learn that while the fire
was of incendiary origin the in
cendiarLsm was legal and lawful
and to extinguish the flames would
stop what was intended as the
start in beautifying the grounds.

Today’s Horoscope
This position indicates a com
panionable and jovial person who
gains the reward of companions,
but who may have too great a love
for the luxuries or comforts of
life, ever to make a great success
in life. If this be the case, an
effort should be made to hold the
desires in check and especially not
to take the criticism of the world
too seriously.

FIRST ALL-RUBBER
SEPARATOR ADDS
BATTERY POWER
CONSIDERED GREAT AD
VANCEMENT IN INDUSTRY;
USED IM FIRESTONE EXTRA
POWER BATTERY
The first battery separator
made exclusively of rubber is now
in production in the Firestone Bat
tery Factories at Akron, Ohio and
Los Angeles, California. It is con
sidered as great an advancement
in batteries as the balloon tire was
in the tire industry, for it is not
affected by heat, cold or acid, and
yet so porous it increases power
, l'low. It is used in the Firestone
I Extra Power Battery.
The all-rubber separators are
made up of'millions of tiny balls
of rubber joined together in such
a way as to give extreme porosity,
alowing quick flow of power. They
have much longer life under ad
verse conditions —in fact, they
last the life of the battery. Sep
-4r a tors of rubber have long been
the goal of the battery industry.
A number of separators have been
brought out combining rubber
with fiber, wood and rubber, etc.,
and though some obtained long
life, they were considerably less
porous and thus gave less starting
power, especially in cold weather*.
The battery of today must have
greatly increased power. It is es
timated that 600,000 cars were
equipped with radios in 1933, and
1,000,000 more will be sold in
1934. More than a million cars
i now have hot water heaters which
! require electric power to operate.
Gas and oil gauges, cigar and cig
arette lighters, double stop lights,
windshield defrosters, double horns
and many other appliances are
found on the modern cars. The
1934 cars have larger generators
—3O ampere capacity instead of
20 ampere.
The Firestone Extra Power Bat
tery with the All-rubber Separa
tors furnishes more and quicker
starling power—at zero it gives
30 percent more starting power.
It is especially superior for cars
operating in severe service, and
for commercial cars and light
trucks.
