Old Treasure Chamber
In Westnninster Abbey

Few who explore Westminster abbey
are aware that there are many Of its
most ancient and interesting parts Of
which they have never had glimpse.
For instance, In the eastern cloisters
there Is door so guarded against I'M
authorized intrusion that 1t can only
be opened by seven keys, which are
In the jealous custody of as many gov
eminent officials. Five of the key
holes Of this wonderful door, which, by
the way, is covered with human skins,
are concealed from view by stout
iron bar which traverses 1t. This door
gives access to a vaulted chamber,
known as the "Chapel Of the Pyx,"
the walls Of which were standing as
they stand today before even the Nor
man conQueror landed in Sussex. This
chamber was once the treasury of
England, to which were brought "the
most cherished possessions of the
state"

Truth or Heroics About
Story of Joan of Arc?

Although investigators have fairly
well proven that Joan of Arc was
never burned at the stake, but was
told to take off her male attire, 60
home and never fight again, there are
many people who want the world to
stick to her story because it is heroic
and inspiratlonal, declares the Wom-
mans Home Companion. The magazine
adds. edltorially, that 1t is far better
to accept the findings of thorough re-
search.
According to the article, investiga-
tors found records of Joan's visit to
Metz In 1436, five years after her
death was believed to have taken
place, and subsequent papers record
ing her marriage and a costly gift to
her by the city Of Orleans in memory
Of the good she had done during the
Siege Of the city. This was eight
years after Joan's ashes were sup
posed to have been scattered In the
Seine.
For our part" concludes the arti-
cle," we prefer to know the truth
even when 1t hurts. In the long run,
there is nothing so inspiring as true
knowledge"

Navajo Indian Lore

The Smithsonian institution says !:
'The Yebechal are nature gods of the
Navajo whose chief function Is heal
in the sick. The so-called Yebechai
dance is ceremony for this purpose.
Up to some years ago representations
of the gods We're painted In colored
sands at the ceremony and wiped out
at the close. Later, the Navajo began
to weave the Yebechai figures In rugs
for sale. These rugs are usually made
on hand loom. This may easily be
told II the designs are alike on both
sides as to form and color. Such spe-
cimens were never common"

Comfort in the Desert

A train ride through some of the
southwestern country often very I'M
pleasant on account of the intense
heat, is to be made more tolerable by
the use of railroad coaches that have
been made heatproof to a consider
able degree. A special window glass
is made use Of which cuts off much
of the heat of the sunshine. It also
cuts off some of the light, but in this
open country there will be sufficient
for all purposes. The woodwork Of

Hoard. Found bx Soldier.

Many boards of ancient and medley
al coins were found by soldiers dur
ing the World war while they were
digging trenches. Not many years ago
at Brescello there was dug up hoard
containing $4,000 pieces Of gold, all
dating between 46 and 3S B. @. Gold
coins are the most desired by numis-
matists, because gold shows no eject
from burial in the earth, whereas sill
yer, especially If buried In volcanic
soil, turns black or tends to mass or
shows a crystalline change that makes
1t brittle. Bronze tends to oxidize or to
become covered with an accretion Of

English Game Protection

In English law the term ground
game" applies to hares and rabbits,
which are subject to extinction by the
occupants Of lands to protect their
crops from injury and loss. This re-
moves these animals from the protec-
ton which, in the interest Of the
sporting classes, the English law
throws about wild animals which are
hunted for sport. Ordinarily the pos
session of land confers no right to kill
or snare game found thereon, but it
is not uncommon in England to pro-
vide in lease for the keeping down
Of ground game. p.

CHEVROLET PRODUCES TWO
MILLION CARS OF SIX TYPE

FLINT, Mich, August 4.-Another
automotive record toppled here on
Thursday when the Chevrolet Motor
Company turned out its two miliiontn
six cylinder car less than 20 full months
after the introduction of this type.
Just as Chevrolet led the world IN
four cylinder car production during the
last two years that the company built
that type, SO now it assumes leader
shin in the six cylinder field by hav-
ING built nearly five times as many
skies in 20 months as any other man
ufacturer in the history of the industry.
The two millionth Ska coach
rolled off the line here with Chevrolet
and General Motors executives IN at
tendance to witness the final assembly
of the car for which no further cere-
monies were planned.
The brief time required by Chevrolet
to build two million skies provides an
index Of the rapid strides made by thus
organization to the front rank OF vol
,,me car builders The company Was
organized late in 1911, and there were
, required nearly seventeen years &c
I turn out five million of the old foul
cylinder cars while two million slxe:
have been placed on the streets ant
{ highways of the world since Januar,
4 4 1929, or in total time OF onl,
$ nineteen months and one week.
: Commenting on the manufacture Q
\ the two millionth six, w. S. knudser
Il President and General Manager, state
s. that the fact Of establishing new rec
. ord was significant mainly in that
q indicated definite public preferenc
h for the performance and luxury whic
IS six affords in the low priced field.
al 1--WE abandoned our position as TT
: worlds largest builder of four cyllnd'
~ cars" Mr.. Knudsen explained, "b'
an cause the volume we had built u

No us to put two extra cylinders IN o
