Average Intelligence Low.
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

“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.

London has a new club whose mem

In domestic capacities. The member
ship of the club one month after Its
inauguration exceeded 8,000, and con

it possible for the organisation to pur

London's most exclusive dubs. Plana
for a large building have been ap

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

If worn as a pendant around the
throat. Friday is Doris' lucky day

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

Who’s Whose!
They were discussing the very
charming woman who had Just en
tered the already crowded reception
room.
"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. Some one ought to publish a
reference book to help us. / It might
be called’ ‘Who's Whose?'”

story of It In his own language to the

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

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.
