Joan of Ara

Dear Uncle Jed: Joan of Arc was a poor peasant girl, who was born in I412 in the little village of Domremy in Lor- raine. She liked to wander in the woods and derived great pleasure from the wild life of the forest. She didn't care for amusements. but preferred to tend her flock of sheep which she did faithfully. She was fair and beautiful, also very quiet and religious.
 France was in a very bad condition. Just at this time France was at war with England, and she was meeting with defeat.
 As Joan wandered In the woods she heard voices and saw many visions. They kept telling her to save France. She thought that they must mean some thing, so she told her father that she must go to the court of France. He said that he would rather drown her than have her go to battle She finally per suaded him to let her go. and the gov ernor promised he would bring her safe ly to the king. When she got to court sne knelt before the king and told him that God had sent her to free France. At first he didn't believe her, but she , persisted and finally got permission to lead the army into battle. She was given a white suit of armor and fine horse They gave her Q sword but she said, That is not the right one. God told me that the sword I was always to carry was behind the altar in the church." A messenger was sent and

RESIGNS FROM FRENCH FEDERATION

Paris. Nov. 27 CBy the A. P.).-Capt. Albert R. De Joannis. who accompanied Nile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French tennis player, to the United States last summer, has rendered his resignation as vice president of the French Tennis federation and also as a member of the organization.
 NJ. De Joannis resigned in protest against the federation's "order of the day" published in the morning news papers today. blaming the directors of the United States Lawn Tennis fedora hon for unjustifed commentaries upon he sporting spirit of Mile. Lenglen."
 The resignation of NJ De Joannis is the climax of controversy that has been going on inside the tennis federation since the return to France from the United States of Mile Lenglen and her party. M De Joannis was accused of having urged the French player ito en- gage in tennis matches while physically unfit 10 do so.'
 NJ. De Joannis told The Associated Press today that thus far he had re- Trained from commenting on the criticism leveled against him owing to his deli cate position and in view of the fact that woman's name was at stake, but that the attacks became so bitter when the United States Lawn Tennis association was brought into the argument that he had to abandon his reserve.

and the large crowd.
 "Suzanne's attacks agains tthe United States lawn tennis officials and the public are absolutely unwarranted. She was received like a little queen and treated with the utmost courtesy. Her every whim and mood was satisfied
 She knows how to win. but she does not know how to lose gracefully. She placed the personality of Suzanne before the good name of the sporting world of her country and could not face defeat
 The attitude of the United States lawn tennis officials and of the American pub lie in the face of the repeated defaults of Mile. Lenglen was very lenient and above all blame. Carpenter is a hero in America, despite his defeat, because he showed grit and went down fighting while Mile Lenglen placed France before the American public as preferring to quit than to face defeat.

 Argentina is quite large country. It IS about one-third as large as the United States, and it's length is equal to the distance from Hudson Bay to Florida.
 Argentina was settled by the Spaniards many years ago. The Spanish people are not ambitious, but a great many English. Germans and Italians have come from Europe to Argentina and have made of if modern and progressive country.

 The Tongass National Forest is com pletely equipped with an admirable sys- lem of waterways. Here, instead of saddle and pack horse. the ranger rides a seagoing motorboat. He guides his steed by means of wheel instead of reins; feeds its gasoline instead of oats tethers it at night with o.l anchor in some sheltered cove instead of with a picket rope in mountain neadow, and uses the paint brush in lieu of curry comb"
 Rangers ip that national forest travel in couples, two men to each motor boat. The boat is a staunch, seaworthy craft. 35 to 40 feet long. equipped with 25 horsepower engine. and with fully inclosed cabin and pilot house. Except when they are at headquarters or actually at work in the woods the rangers eat. sleep and live on their boats.
