Battlefield of PaIo Alto,

Brownsville, Tex, Feb 24.-Patriotic
women of Texas have inaugurated a
movement for the purchase by either
the United States government or that
Of the state of Texas of the historic
battlefield Of Palo Alto, which is situ-
ated on the American side of the Rio
Grande near here. 1t was upon this
tract of land that the first battle of the
war between the United States and
Mexico was fought nearly seventy
years ago, and upon the same ground
was fired the last gun Of the civil war.
A force of soldiers belonging to an
Indiana regiment known as Mortons
rifles and body Of Confederates
commanded by Colonel John s. Ford
met upon the Palo Alto battle-ground
and fought an engagement on May Is,
1865, which was more than one month
after the civil war had been brought
to a close in other parts of the country.
The present efforts to have the feder-
al or state government purchase the
Palo Alto battle-ground are due largely
to the fact that the land composing it
Is being rapidly converted into farms,
and in a few more years the historic
site of the two memorable battles will
have lost its original appearance. Dur
the way of cannon balls and the iron
of old muskets have been unearthed
by plOws.

Thus equipped she placed herself at
the head of an army of 5000 men and
advanced to the aid of Dunois, in the
relief of hard pressed Orleans. She
threw herself upon the English and
fired the French with new enthusiasm.
After fifteen days fighting the English
were compelled to retreat. The French
spirit again awoke, the enemy was
swept from the principal positions of
the Loire, the village girl urged on the
dauphin to his coronation, and three
months later she stood beside Charles
at Rheims, saluting him as king.
She was taken prisoner and sold to
the English by John of Luxembourg.
Carried to Rouen, the headquarters Of
the English, she was heavily fettered
and flung into prison. Joan was con-
victed Of sorcery, and in the market
place Of Rouen, surrounded by the SOL
diers and ecclesiastics, she was burned

Worldwide War on Hookworm.


New York, Feb. 23.-Speaking of the
proposed worldwide campaign for the
eradication of the hookworm in which
the $10O,OO0,OOO endowment of the
Rockefeller foundation will be used,
Jerome d. Greene, a trustee Of sew
eral of John d. Rockefeller's philan-
thropies, says: ITO wipe out the hook
worms it will be necessary not Only
to cure the present sufferers, but also
to diffuse such knowledge Of hygiene
and s;~itation as will gradually make
reinfection impossible. But when that
Is done In this country the work will
be only partly accomplished, for un-
less the hoOkworm can be eradicated
from those points in foreign lands,
which now, through the ordinary chan
nels OF commerce, are constantly dis
tributing infection all over the world,
the hookworm is bound to reappear
again and again. No one country can
be safe until all have been cleared of
this pest.

new SCHOOL IDEA
Hundred Cities Are Using Build
ings For Other Purposes.
OVER 800 SOCIAL CENTERS.

Paid Workers at Considerable Num-
Der Of Them-Publc Institutions of
Learning Used as Polling Places and
For Political Meetings.
Three hundred and thirty-eight schools
IN lol cities of the United States We're
used as social centers during the past
season, according to q report complied
by Clarence Arthur Perry for the Sage
foundation. Officials Of the United
States bureau Of education, who have
examined the report, declare that 1t is
bound to stimulate interest in this rap
idly developing phase Of the movement
for wider use Of the school plant.
Mr.. Perry finds that in forty-four Of
the l01 cities social centers were di-
rected by paid workers. New York
had foty-eight such centers and Chi
cago sixteen, while Philadelphia. Bos-
ton. Columbus. Detroit, Jersey City,
Louisville, Rochester and Trenton also
are among the cities included in this
list. There is wide variation in the
length of the season, from five or six
weeks in some localities to the full
school term in others. In fact. little
uniformity prevails as to what consti-
tutes a social center. Mr.. Perry pre-
sents in the report tentative detini-
ton Of social center as follows: "A
community may be said to have a
Cahn i,I 10
school buildings is thrown open to the
public on one or more fixed nights a
week for at least twelve weeks a wear
for activities Of a social, recreational
or civic character regularly directed by
one or more trained leaders,"
The report also presents data on the
growing use Of school buildings for
political meetings. In Cleveland meet.
ings were held in the schools to dis
cusS the new constitutional provisions
that were before the people for adop-
ton. In Jersey City the public schools
were opened to partisan political meet
ings with gratifying results. Eight
public school auditoriums in New York
city were also opened for the same pur-
pose, and in Chicago the assembly
halls were employed for political raj
lies and proved distinctly popular
innovation. Milwaukee, Wis, and
Worcester, Mass. are cities where the
schools have for some time been used
for political meeting places.
The use of schools as polling places is
another recent development. Thirty
schools in Los Angeles were used for
this purpose in 1911. In the past year
Milwaukee began using the Easements
Of school buildings as polling places.
In New York the commissioner of ac-
counts recommended that the school
buildings be used for registration
booths throughout the city, declaring
that the plan would mean the saving
of considerable part of the 100000
expended for rental every year Def
mite adoption of the idea of schools as
polling places is reported from Boston;
Berkeley and Long Beach, Cal; Grand
Rapids, Mich; Madison, Wis, and Salt
Lake City.
