Joan Of Arc House.

In 1911 the city Of Paris bought the
old residence Of, the archbishops Of
Sens in the Saint Paul quarter
with no particular thought as to what
use would be made Of it. The idea
has now gained favor of concerning
it into a Saint Joan Of Arc museum.
The building was built between 1474
and 1919, and is uncommonly rich In
French memories. Queen Margot lived
In it for while, and 1t is inseparably
connected with Charles VIII and the
Hundred Years war. 1t is regarded
as one Of the very best specimens Of
Partisan architecture Of the fifteenth
century.

WALNUT NOW CHEAP
Is Taking Place of Oak for
Furniture.
Des Moines School Board Makes
Interesting Postwar
Discovery.

Des Moines.-DeSkS and furniture In
many of the Des Moines schools soon
will be of American walnut, and the
school board attributed the change
from quarter-sawed oak to walnut to
the war. The secretary Of the board
says he believes he was able to get
walnut because it was supposed to
have become so scarce that everyone
had ceased to look for it.
incidentally, the walnut to be used
has varied travelling history. 1t was
originally cut and seasoned for the
United States government for airplane
propellers. 1t had been sold by the
United States to France, and when the
war ended France turned the wood
back to this country. 1t was sold and
resold several times and was loaded
for shipment to Chicago when the
school board started out to buy quar-
ter sawed oak to build desks and fur
niture.
The oak, heretofore the standard for
school furniture, was found to be too
costly by the board Of school commits
sionerS. A few dealers submitted
prices around $3.50 thousand board
feet and did not appear overly anxious
for the order even at that figure.
1t was then that the secretary of
the board heard of the shipment OF
walnut and Investigated. He was i'm.
mediately given price of $500 a thou.
sand feet and bought $4,000 worth of
it. Since that time the board of com
missioners has purchased a considera.
bic quantity Of unseasOned walnut to
be made into school furniture at prices
less than the seasoned wood cost.
The school furniture is made by
manual training instructors who are
| employed the entire year around in
the schools, and in this way the cost
of manufacture is reduced to abou
| one-half.
Since it has become known that the
school board is buying walnut, the sec
! rotary of the board says, the price il
