On Armistice Day, November 11th,
the annual Red Cress Roll Call began,
and millions of Americans will again
renew their allegiance to the greatest
relief agency in the World.

what the timely aid given by this
great organisation means.
Whether it be the unhappy victims
of a world war, of a West Indian hur

to give them aid and usually is the
first on the scene.

Armistice or Pea c e.
• /
Another Armistice Day has been
celebrated, the eleventh milestone
passed since the guns ceased to boom
on the battle fronts of the World
War. So great was the relief felt by
the whole world when hostilities were
stopped on November 11, 1918, that
the day has become one of the notable
landmarks of history.
But “armistice” does not mean
peace; it only means “a temporary sus
pension of hostilities, by agreement”
—a truce. When the Germans agreed
to the terms of the armistice submit-
hy Marshal Foch it was not cer
tain that war was really over. A
peace treaty had to be formulated,
this was not signed until June 28,
1919.
y t . So, while the armistice marked the
end of actual fighting, peace was
not officially established until the
^eter date. Even then the vexing
problems arising from the war seemed
almost baffling. In fact, it was only
during the past year that the terms of
’final settlem ent were agreed upon
and the amount of German reparations
fixed. Y
the first time, then, Armistice
r, 1929, saw the end of parleys over
Mttlements. Let us hope that it

of an era of lasting peace.

For several weeks America h«s been
h'onored by a visit from the greatest
woman scientist the world has ever
known, Mme. Marie Curie, of Paris,
who with her late husband, Pierre
Curie, discovered radium in 1898.
These great souls scorned to profit
by their discovery, and gave it to the
public for the benefit of humanity.
Much of their epochal work in phy
sics and chemistry was performed
with meager equipment; in fact, the
husband never had an adequate lab
oratory up to the time of his death
from being struck by a truck in 1906.
But he had risen to be chief profes
sor of physics at the Paris University,
and hfs wife succeeded him in that
position in 1908. She finally acquired
a suitable laboratory, but during the
war gave all her precious radium to
the government, so that at its close
she wa s without any of the rare sub-
stance.
In 1921 her friends and admirers in
America bought a gram of radium and
presented it to her together with a
sum of money. She gave the radium
to be used at the Curie Institute of
the University of Paris, and with the
income" from the money she rented
another gram for the cancer hospital
of Warsaw, Poland, her birthplace.
During her present visit her friends
have given her a second gram of radi
um, which will go to Warsaw to re
place that which hag been rented.
Mme. Curie has never had more than
a modest income, and at times has
been in (straightened circumstances,
but she has tfatiently pursued her
notable scientific researches, happy in

Two unusual accidents in which a
