SAYS FRENCH CONDEMNED JOAN
OF ARC

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Among the open Court letters
published in your issue of March
25, there is one from "R. ]. NJ" who
lays the blame at England's door"
for the burning of Joan OF Arc. II
"R. J. NJ" will consult any standard
encyclopedia or Life Of Joan OF
Arc" he Cor sheD will find that the
Maid of Orleans" was tried and
condemned to death by French re-
ligious fanatics for witchcraft.
1t should also be borne in mind
that witch burning was a common
practice in Europe right UP to the
beginning of the Nineteenth century.
and hundreds of people suffered
cruel deaths simply because they
were suspected of being lin league
with the devil" Another fact
which 'E. J. NJ" has neglected to
notice is that Joan was not burned
at the stake until nearly three years
after her capture by the English,
and it was the French clergy. head
ed by the Bishop of Beauvois who
insisted on her death for witchcraft
The sad end of Joan of Arc. and
the horrors of the Spanish Inquisi-
tion, are only examples of what re-
ligious Intolerance and ignorance
did in the Dark Ages" and the
English" were no more RESPONSE
Lle for the Maids" death than they
were for the massacres of the French
Huguenots.

cessive heat hardens and therefore
makes an oyster hard to digest.
Oysters fried in deep fat are so
protected by their coating of crumbs
and egg and are exposed. to the eX-
cessiyc heat for such short time
that the oyster itself is properly
cooked and easily digested.
Fried Oysters
Eighteen large orpsters, l lemon,
cracker dust, cracker crumbs, ! egg,
salt and pepper.
Wash, drain and pick over oysters.
Sprinkle with the strained juice of
the lemon. Season the cracker dust
with salt and pepper. Roll each oys-
ter carefully in the cracker dust, dip
in the egg slightly beaten with l ia
blespoonful of water and roll in the
coarser crumbs. Fry about three min
utes in deep hot fat. Drain on brown
paper and serve at once. 1t is a saving
of time and money to fry oysters in
deep fat rather than in a small
amount of fat in a frying pan.
Pigs in Blankets
Twelve large oysters, ~ thin
srices of bacon, tooth picks, lemon
juice.
Wash, drain and pick over oysters,
Sprinkle with lemon juice. Roll each
oyster in a slice of bacon and fasten
with toothpicks. Heat a frying pan
very hot and put in the prepared oys-
tiers. Cook, turning frequently until
the bacon is crisp and brown all over
While beth these recipes demand
excessive heat, the oyster is protect
ed in such way that the increased
temperature does not affect the oys-
ter.
Oyster Fritters
Twelve large oysters, / egg, l
teaspoon salt, ga cup flour, IL cup
milk, pepper.
Beat yolk of egg till thick. Add
milk and continue beating. Add flour
and beat to a smooth batter Add salt
and pepper and fold in white of egg

have her assist each week in their
