Ne40 Lights on Joan ofArc Legend.

SIM do you think the voice would come to me?"
The bishop continually tried to trip up Joan
with the trickiest kind Of theological questions,
but the untutored peasant girl was always more
than q match for him.
For week after week-the preliminary
animation and the trial lasted from February
al until May 30-the young peasant girl con-
founded the greatest ehurchmen Of Normandy.
The English could have Immediately executed
her as q prisoner of war, but that would have
made O heroine out Of her and aroused French
nationalism, and so they thought it better to
have her convicted q hereto by Bishop
Cauchon and o number Of theologianS who
were seeking favors from them.
THE judges continually reproached her for
wearing mans dress. saying it was not
seemy for a pious young woman, but she re-
toEted that the Voice had commanded 1t and
that no human person could move her to do
otherwise.
Finally, having failed to shake her from the
story Of her divine mission, the Bishop and
the 81 assistant judges sentenced her to life
imprisonment with the bread of sorrow and
the water of affiiction." The cowardly King
Charles VII, who could have ransomed her by
all the rules Of war. bad not lifted finger
to aid the girl who had caused him to be
consecrated and had saved France from being
entirely overrun by the English
The English military commanders IN Rouen
were furious over this sentence, being deter
mined that she must die.
Unfortunately Joan had been persuaded IN
the closing days Of her trial to agree to wear
women's clothing
Nothing easier" said Cauchon when the
English told him that she must be tried again
and sentenced TO death. While Joan slept, her
female apparel was taken from her cell and
some male clothing put In their stead. She
protested when she awoke, but to no avail.
so she donned the forbidden clothes, without
calculating the fine judicial point and the
deadly consequences. Having sinned again,
and in the same manner, she. had become
relapse" a hopeless criminal unworthy Of life!
The next day. Tuesday May 20, Cauchon
called the court together again, told Joan that
she had become hopeless sinner and ser enced
her to be burned at the stake. The execution
was carried out at 10 o'clock the following
morning.

spoke" declares Jean Jacques BRONSON, the
well known critic, in a famous French weekly.
by her language she was kin TO Joinville,
La Fontaine. Moliere, Napoleon. 1t was the
same lucidity, the same sreness, the same
elan. She had the simplicity of Joinville. the
sparkle Of La Fontaine and Napoleon's knowl-
edge of how to talk to soldiers.
Joan is one Of our great writer's; in fact,
the first great modern writer, and the only
one in this fifteenth century that was hcr-
ribie mixture of scholastic Latin, Of Italian
alterations and the jargon of the schools"

it was midday, In the Summer, In my fathers

church; rarely do I hear it without its being

from the same side as the voice. Generally
it is q great light Since came into France

skill and caution with which Joan answered
the tricky questions put to her, all seeking TO
make her confess she was hereto.
Are you in a state of grace?" Maitre Beau

Sitting Out Profitable Hens.

TN these days of low egg prices, it has become
increasingly more vital to the poultry
raiser to remove from his hocks those chickens
that fail to pay their way in egg production.
It used to be considered necessary to use
trap nests and keep individual records Of the
hens, in order to determine which were laying
and which were not. The trap nests were SO
constructed that after q hen had entered the
nest it was imprisoned until some one came
and released it. This method was one requir-
ing rather close supervision Of the nest houses,
and was one which the general run of poultry
raiSers did not care to carry .out.
Research has provided the farmer with better
methods of determining the producers and the
boarders For one thing, hens which mott be-
fore September are very poor layers, as q usual
thing and the thrifty farmer loses little time
in hustling them on to market.
a The comb is another indication as to whether
a hen Is a good layer. full, red comb Of
waxy texture indicates laying hen, while .
dull, shrunken comb indicates the opposite.
Similarly, q pale beak and bleached or faded
legs indicate a good layer while rich yellow
reveals that the hen has stopped laying.

quest for congressional hearing on the

were voted by the committee on law
and legislation of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce at a meeting

punishment is in line with the stand
taken by the chamber following a
spirited debate about four months ago.
In advocating amateur boxing for the
District, the committee went on record

appointed by Chairman Mary O'Toole
to draw up a resolution stating the
committees views.

NEW YORK, February S.-The New

Fascist League of North America, Mus

banded on last December 81, is being
reorganized.
The new Fascist group is called

Great Federation of the Lictor. It's or
ganization is under direction Of Do
menico Trombetta, a former member of
the Central Council of the Fascist
League of North America. Most of his
followers are said to be in the densely
populated portions of the New England
and Middle Atlantic States.
The Herald Tribune quotes Mr.. from
BETA as denying that the reorganization
was undertaken under direction from
Mussolini.
mo one in Italy, either II Duce or
any one else, ordered this work." Mr..
Trombetta said. I'VE are reorganizinR
the Fasc1stt openly. There Is nothing
secret about it.
1.-THE Fascist League of North America
made the mistake of holding its meet
tngs in secret. The new order of Fascist
will hold open sessions and will keep
nothing hidden. The old order never
numbered more than $4,000. There are
100000 Italians or sons of Italians In
this country The Grande Rederazione
Del Littorio will include nearly the en-
