The ninth, Placeck took Dolph's place on the O. U. uound. In the tenth he wont to pieces and the wearers of the Crimson and Blue colors found themselves chasing each other around the campus for a total of seven extra bases. Bodywork on the move for Kansas. The final score was 11 to 4.
SOME JOB, TO SHIP RADIUM TO FRANCE
Will be Put in Glass Bulbs Enclosed in Lead Cases
Paris (By Mall.)—Just how Madame Curie is going to bring back to France the grammie or radium that American women will present to her and to the French Faculty of Sciences presents a ticklish little problem.
If Madame Curie, for example, merely put the grammie of radium in her pocket for the return trip, several things might happen. First, she might lose it. Secondly, some international but uniscientific pickupknot might be tempted by the fact that it is worth about two million francs. Thirdly and worsely, if Madame Curie were to bring the grammie of radium into the hands of the things that would hambour to her would mean a greater loss to the scientific world than as though some clever thief pinched the grammie.
While Madame Curie probably wouldn't die on the spot, nevertheless the radio-activity of radium is so great and its effect upon the tissue so startling that were Madame Curie to show her appreciation of America's gift by never parting with the precious gramine certain death would endure.
It has already been decided that the mishevous little gramme of radium will be split into twelve or fifteen smaller and less mishevous parts.
Each one of these parts will be enclosed in a glass bulb and each bulb enclosed in a nice little leadcase of about two inches in thickness—load and platinum are nonconductors of radio-activity.
The twelve or fifteen little lead cases will then be stowed away in the ship's safe and if any enterprising thief wants to monkey with the combination, in order to get his fingers on that two million francs worth of radiator, he must take all the risks himself, just have to take all the risks himself, both legally and scientifically.
And she has a very firm conviction that the scientific radio-activity effects on the thief will render it quite untenable for the law to intervene in the case.
Got $16,000 for Rescue Of Aged Chicago Woman
Toulon, Ill., April 8. (By United Press.)—A fairy godmother in the form of a little old lady whom he
only saw once has made George Fogelsoh happy with a gift of $16,000. Fogelsoh has been informed recently that Mrs. Marie Lee of Chicago has died and left him a legacy of $16,000.
While in the nearby town of Galva,
about three years ago, Fogelsong
rushed into the middle of a street and
carried Mrs. Lee to safety when she
became confused at the approach of
an automobile. In saving the aged
woman from possible death, Fogelson
barely escaped injury himself.
TO BUILD BELGIAN HOSPITAL
Administrators of Mrs. Lee's will searched for Fogelsong around Galvan. He was finally found through an advertisement in a Chicago paper. He met him when he learned he was to receive the $1,000 bequest for his bravery.
Rockefeller Fund Contributes Forty Million Francs
Brussels, April 11—To centralize extend and modernize the operations of the faculty of medicine of Brussels University, the trustees of the Rockefeller Fund are contributing a sum of forty million francs. The understanding is that the local authorities is that the local financial help and service, in the realization of what is, for a little country like Belgium, a gigantic scheme.
One of the two main existing hospital buildings of the capital and a nearby barracks are to be acquired for the use of the faculty, and here will be centralized operating theaters, class rooms, nurses' quarters, clinics, offices, laboratories, and departments and various other offices and departments of the medical school.
President Flexner of the Fund and Secretary Flexner of the General Education Board, have taken back with them to the United States the acceptance of the government reached by their own trust committee.
Mayor Max, the plucky little Brus sels burgomaster who defied the Germans and who was sent to a German fortress for his bravado, says this Rockefeller gift is a great thing for him. The nurses will be fitted on modern lines, wih contain at least 350 beds—probably more. The nurses' home is being fitted up by the committee in charge of the trust funds dedicated to the memory of those two women warriors, Miss Cavell and Madame Danne.
Aside from the main gift of forty million francs, the Rockefeller Trust is giving $250,000 as an endowment of the new hospital.

MAIN STREET AUTHOR LAUDS HOME WRITERS
Sinclair Lewis Says American Writers Are as Good as European
HANDICAPPED BY BIRTH
Public Refuses to Concede Greatness to Domestic Scribes—Lewis
A new edition of the American "Who's Who in Literature" was issued recently from the pflatform of *The New Yorker*, Lewis, the author of "Main Street."
"Edith Wharton is one of the world's greatest writers." Mr. Lewis began, reading the roll, "but evenbus musl labor under the handicap of being a child," he added to the mind of the American public, lpso facto, inferior to English writers.
He cheered his audience, which included most of the younger writing set, at the outset by telling them that America had writers fully as great as any in England and that it was only an inferiority complex on the part of the American public which kept them from being appreciated.
"We have Sherwood Anderson, who was born in Chicago and has been an advertising man, therefore cannot be a geheimer, whose style is as distinctive as that of Compton Mackenzie or Hugh Walpole; James Branch Cabell, Zona Gale, Floyd Dell, Villa Cather, Dorothy Canfield, Charlie Norrie, Philippe Niblau, having his books sell, which proves them bad; S. Scott Fitzgerald, who is going to be a writer the any young European, and Waldo Frank, whose book "The Dark Mother," you should buy. If you don't want to be a writer, Mr. Lewis then declared that the American penisense is upon us; that Thackeray and Swinburne are walking the streets of New York today

"We have just decided by a solemne referendum that 'Jurgen' must be suppressed," he said. "It was not one little insignificant group of reformers who made that decision. It was the most American, American people who acquiesced in it."
"This country is not a democracy, but an autocracy, ruled by the Tiref Business Man, and the T. B. M. has written in proportion as it is badly written. He buys poorly printed, badly written magazines further to befuddle his weary brain and cannot be made to understand what book would much easier to read."

Mr. Lewis then declared that he abused the small town in "Main Street" because he loved it and grieved for its faults, and some day just because he loves New York, he promised to write a "mean, vicious, disillusioning" book about New York.—New York Tribune.
