MLLE. EVE CURIE LAUDS FRENCH WOMEN'S PLUCK

"French women are carrying on, sup-planting the men at the front in every capacity," said Mlle. Eve Curie to an overflowing auditorium last night at the New Lecture Hall.

Mlle. Curie told how French women have enthusiastically accepted their new positions in society, fulfilling jobs that ranged from handling the immense war-time mails to the fitting of fuses to cannon shells. She stressed the reasons that made war inevitable to the Allied peoples and gave a complete picture of the every day life and change in a nation on a war-time basis.

The daughter of the discoverer of radium particularly praised the manner in which the schools and universities were continuing on a virtually peace-time basis. As soon as air-raid precautions were supplied the educational institutions resumed with women filling many of the important posts.
