On a blsls of tents made on 1,500,000 aoldlers, 500 school children, 600 de linquent boys and 250 feeble-minded Individuals, a writer In the Journal of Applied Psychology states that the av erage mentul age of adults Is only thirteen years. This means that the average thlrteen-year-old boy, though of course he does not know nearly so much as the average grown man, Is his equal In Intelligence. “JOAN” VICTIM OF INTRIGUE French Bishop Said to Have Been the Tool in the Hands of the Duke of Bedford. Pierre Cauchon, bishop of BeauMals, who was ambitious to become arch bishop of Rouen, “framed" Joan of Arc and caused her to be burned at the stake, according to Henry W. Harris, Jr., writing In the Boston Globe. The untutored maid who had spurred the French on to ulctory, Just as England's hordes uppeared to have overrun the country, was captured by the duke of Burgundy, a rebel against the king of France, and he sold hea to the duke of Bedford, regent for Henry VI, the boy king of Eng land, for $110,000. Bedford sought to discredit Joan of Arc to her people, hoping in this way to upset the coronation of King Charles V ll of France, and gnln the throne for the British king. Bishop Cauchon, who was seeking Britain's aid at Rome, was chosen as the tool. He It wns who formed the court which tried the maid and convicted her of heresy. She was ordered to be burned, but the sentence was commuted to life Imprisonment on condition that she quit wearing a page's costume, wear women's garb instead, and sign a paper, or rather put a cross to U, as she couldn’t read or write. She did so. The paper was a “confes sion” of all the framed-up charges. Later she was tricked Into breakBig her vow and was practically forced to wear the page's clothes again. Then she wns “discovered" In thia garb, accused of breaking her vow and ordered burned at the stake. TREASURE LOST TO WORLD Book of Gospels, Belonging to the Cathedral of Relmd; Supposed Part of Hun LooL Conspicuous among the great liter ary works that disappeared during the late war was the famous Book of Gos pels, not only the greatest treasure of the cathedral of Reims but an object of veneration to the French people and the Slav race ns well, which van ished with the German army after the battle of the Marne. Princess Anna of Russia, the Slav coqport of Henry I, brought It Into France In the Elev enth century, and thereafter every ruler of France used It at Reims when he made his vow to safeguard the rights and privileges of the Roman Catholic church. King Charles X, the last French king crowned at Reims, kissed the sacred volume In sealing Ids coronation oath In 1825. Peter the Great of Russia journeyed to Reims to see It, and received It while kneeling and pressed It to his lips and breast. It survived the French wars of 1,000 years; It was hidden away during the French revb- lu tlo n ; It reappeared with the Bour bon restoration In 1816. The book was written In the -Bnl- gar language and was magnificently bound with golden coverings set with precious stones. Throughout eastern Europe It was held In the greatest veneration, for It was the moat an cient Slav copy of the gospels. Mind for Business.

London has a new club whose mem bership Is confined to women employed In domestic capacities. The member ship of the club one month after Its inauguration exceeded 8,000, and con tributions to the treasury bave made it possible for the organisation to pur chase a plot of ground for a club house on the same street as some of London's most exclusive dubs. Plana for a large building have been ap proved and paid for within the year. The purpose of the club la to afford the many thousand cooks, maids, serv ants and other domestic workers of London a snltable place to meet their friends and spend their days off.

HOUSED IN OLD BUILDINGS Financial Institutions of Yorktown, Virginia, Do Business Among Hie- torle Surroundings. W ithin 20 miles of where' the first English settlement in America was made at Jamestown is the scene where Capt. John Smith records the story of his rescue by Pocahontas, the daughter of the Indian chief, Powha tan. W ithin a circle of 20 miles is to be found the oldest Protestant church In A m erica; the kitchen where M artha Washington cooked in good colonial style; the college which has graduated three presidents; Bruton church, In which more men of his torical importance have worshiped than in any other church In America —and Yorktown, where Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. Although Yorktown has a popula tion of less than two hundred, it has two banks, both of which are working In what are probably the two oldest buildings used for banka tn America. One of these banks, operating under state and trust company laws, Is housed In the historic oldest custom house built in America— erected In -4713. Here the ships for Philadelphia were once compelled to enter and clear. Here at one time was the gath ering place of the financiers of the early colonists. W all street has tak en away the financiers, but has left the same old building with Its same old walls of English brick, some 24 by 40 feet square and two stories high. E l £CTR< l ig h t GLOWS AMT> YOU LOOK -Do'VN AND SEE YOUR uric LE CAUGHT ON T he FLY m p«? By MILDRED MARSHALL Facta abe I kthictorvi t VM> lucky day and lucky leweL DORIS. HOUGH etymologists do not di rectly connect Doris with Dor othy, and some believe that 3he ts merely a modern version of a fem inine fancy for a name a trifle out of tha ordinary. It is impossible to be lieve that her source was not identical with Dorothea and that strange but correct reversal Theodora. Such being the case, Doris comes from one of the early Christian Greek names, notably Thekla. St. Thekla was said to have been a disciple of St. Paul and to have been exposed to Ilona at Antioch. Instead of tearing her to pieces, they crouched at her feet, hut nevertheless she was consid ered the first virgin martyr, and no higher praise is possible for a Wom an than to compare her to St. Thekla. From Thekla came tlie French T ed a and then through the Eastern church, Theodora, signifying “divine gift," and, much later, the Incorrect Dorothea. There have been two St. Theodoras, one a virgin m artyr and the other a Greek empress. Massinger composed a drama deal ing with the story of St. Dorothea, the Cappadocian maiden who sent the roses of paradise by angelic hands as testimony of the Joys of heaven. It Is needless to go into the growth of Dorothea, followed by Dorothy, Dolly, Dora, and Dorinda. H er contractions, elaborations and diminutives are le gion, but unfortunately history does not record what first enterprising mother named her baby Doris, though the name Is almost as popular as Dor othy tn England and America. Even Germany uses It. France alone finds It too harsh for her tongue and pre fers the softer Dorette and Dornllee. n>e • tallsmanlc stone assigned to Doris is the agate, which gives her courage, guards her from dnnger and la also said to be a cure for Insanity If worn as a pendant around the throat. Friday is Doris' lucky day and 5 her lucky number. T (C o p y r ig h t.) FEEDING HOGS BY WHOLESALE On California Ranch Five Thousand of the Animate Are Accommo dated at the Same Time. A miniature railroad system consist ing of five miles of standard gage track, an 18-ton steam locomotive, an auxiliary and emergency gasoline loco motive and a fleet of 30 s o cia lly ar ranged feeding cars Is used on the Diamond Bar ranch in California to feed 5,000 hogs. And it takes two men lees than one hour to do the Job. Tlie mechanical equipment Is the most ingenious and unique of any In use. Feeding yards are arranged so they front on both sides of the track. At the front of each yard is a large hog trough. Directly over each trough Is • gate, hinged at the top, operated hy a trip release which causes the gate to swing outward so that the porkers may have access to their feed when the dinner gong sounds. A 1,500-gallon tank has been mount ed on a flat car and a series of agita tor paddles, operated by a small gaso line engine, have been installed Inside this hnge v a t These paddles stir the feed constantly and keep It mixed thor oughly. There la a cutoff delivery spout at the bottom of the tank which Is so ar ranged with a hood that It can be ex tended directly over the rows of troughs as the locomotive hauling the feed car steams slowly down the feed ing alley. One attendant operates the cutoff valve and fills each trough with feed, white the other releases the gates a ft er the feed la deposited.—Cincinnati Poet. Panama Canal Locks. There are few things more Interest ing to the average traveler than to pass through the great locks of the Panama canal.

"How well Mrs. Gaye looks tonight. She Is really a most beautiful woman, and knows how to keep herself at her best." said Mrs. W itte. “Mrs. Gaye? She Isn’t Mrs. Gaye now,” her friend answered. “Don’t you remember she got tired of being Gaye’s widow and married Jaye Inst summer? She Is now Mrs. Ja.ve." “Oh, dear, yea!” Mrs. W itte replied. “I forgot. But I would like to know how any one can hope to keep In mind all the matrimonial changes now adays.

Bobby, a boy of five, Is an enthusi astic automohlllst and spends much of his time around his father’s car ask ing questions. The other day a neighbor was taken to a hospital for an operation, which at Its conclusion made necessary the use of a drainage tube In the wound while It was healing. The neighbor’s w ife described thef operation In Bob by’s presence with much attention to detail and Bobby afterward told the story of It In his own language to the members of his family, concluding by observing: "But I guess Mr. Brown will get along all right now since they’ve put a new Inner tube In him.” To Make the Big Parke Safe. A concerted effort Is being made b) the United States public health service and the national park service to make the national parks of the United States safe and sanitary for the vast numbers of Americans who have re cently taken to touring them. Before the war, when tourists were fewer and most of them traveled on stage lines and stayed at park hotels, the sanitary problem was simple. Since the war. however, the great majority travel In automobiles and camp out, enormously complicating nil health matters.
