odus and several other places in the
Old Testament. In the days of the
pharaohs 1t was used to glaze pottery,
to make solder and ornamental OBJ
jects. Old lead pipes also have been
found in Egypt. In ancient India
women used red lead as cosmetic {;
the metal itself was used for weights
of all kinds, for purifying silver. as a
charm and as an early monetary me-
dunn. The hanging gardens of Baby

soldered together to retain moisture
necessary to vegetation: Babylonians
used lead also for caullling purposes
and to fasten iron bolts in the ma
sorry of bridges, dams and the like.
The ancient Chaldeans of Persia
were the first to associate the metals

for lead is the same as that for Sa.

They have proved their mettle and their qualities as sportsmen. We hail them as such and even though we cannot wish them success in their quest, we can do no less than hope that the best team wins.

Joan of Arc in the News.
(New York world-Telegramo

It will be 5o1 years, spring in Domremy since the peasant girl who there heard voices that elsewhere never land died pyre in Rouen It took that long for scholars to find out that myth grew up about her, and this in way a fortunate thing.
 Professor Thurman w. Arnold of the Yale Law School, after long study of records of her trial translated from original Latin and French docu- ments reveals now what he says is the truth After all, he discloses it was not partisan court that condemned the girl who led an army and fired a people
 "The proceedings" he says in the Yale Law Journal show all the restraint and all the judicial attitude of the best conducted trials of our owr day"
 The philosophy of mediaeval France and not the court, he finds, must be blamed for holding that heresy was capital offense.
 Oddly something fine probably was gained through the long belief in what the professor calls the faacy of her illegal condemnation If the worlo had not thought down the years that the Maid oi Orleans was the doomed victim of partisanship it k hardly likely that some of the finest passages ir literature would have been much read ever written
 We might not have had Shakespeare Henry VI." Schiller's Die Jungfrau von Orleans" Nol her story by Anatole France. Maybe De Quincy might not have written the beautiful, terrible tale that ends with the flames rising and the girl from Domremy. engulfed by them, saying, Gentle Jesus!
 Truths loss, perhaps, was lterature's gain.

ANOTHER HENRY WALLACE.

The Wallace family is closely identified with agriculture across two generations Following the example of his father, Henry C. Wallace, who was Secretary of Agriculture in the Cabinets of Harding and Coolidge. Henry A. Wallace is ensconsed in the same position under the Democratic Administra- tion The father to be sure, Republican, but never a particularly enthusiastic demonstrative one He was deeply interested in farm problems, and that interest always predominated partisan politics
 The present Secretary of Agriculture is likewise an agricultural man. and but incidentally political figure Political parties, to these lovans are merely the vehicles of policy First and foremost in their minds is the well-being of agriculture and those who follow that vocation.
 MT Wallace entered upon his duties amply train ed. Although one of the youngest members of the Roosevelt official family he has had extraordinary education to become thoroughly familiar with farm ing. not only in practical sense but also through careful studies of farm economics. As publisher oi leading farm journal he has been in close touch with farm opinion and has built up large support among the agricultural population.

Britain's Arms Embargo.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Great Brtan's decisive action in placing an embargo on arms shipments to China and Japan may play a significant role in the Far Eastern controversy Pending debate the question in the House of Commons the British Government has issued order forbidding export of muni- tions for either of the warning countries Laborites are demanding embargo against Japan, the aggressor State Unwilling to its lot with either side the Cabinet has made the embargo effective against both.
 The action leads the way to international agreement for an arms embargo. No Power can effectively stop the supply of armaments, but with cooperation among the half-dozen major coun- tries firm check be placed further ship ments. Such policy cannot be relied upon abso- lutely to halt war, but it is strong measure, and gives tangible form to the dsapproval the Powers have already expressed in words.
 The United States has considered this means of impementing it's Far Eastern policy, but has not Washington Government should cooperate fully with London, for once they reach agreement it should then be possible to induce France and other muni- tions manufacturing nations to adhere to the policy.
 An economic boycott is virtually act of war, if applied against nation exclusively. But there is adequate precedent for embargo arms can adopt which will go far to deter the Japanese in their foolhardy campaign in Jehol, and at the same time will not duplicate the Western nations.

Should Women Work.
(New York Times.)

Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard College urges young women to prepare themselves for business pro- fessional whether or not they intend to to in middle age, when presumably the business of sleeve believes that the woman of 45 to 65 is much happier if she has work to which she return
 The question is whether in the years ahead of Jus, when we have done away with machines in order to wipe out unemployment there will be work of any kind for women of any age. People now much haunted by Pathological Unemployment But isn't the principal evil of economic system something that might be called Sociological Unem- |poyment? We have today about 100000 people out of work. We had in the last census very nearly 100000 females in ganful occupation. Why not solve the problem at stroke of prohibiting gainful employment for women?
 This simple proposal to chase Il 100000 women out of gainful employment and back into the kitchen is not really drastic as it sounds. At
 least it is more revolutionary than abolishng the
 machines The two things really go together It is the machines that have given women their position in the economic world
 | Abolish the textile machines and women will have to stay at home and weave cloth, as they
 used to- Abolish the bread and laundry machines
 and women will have to go back to the stove and the washtub Abolish the machine called the tee- phone and the machine called the typewriter and what will happen to an army of women in ganfu Occupations?
 | It really does look as if the abolition of ma- chimes will have to be followed by the abolition oi la lot of women.

 Very probably the fact that the fellow had lived in Corsica, knew Ajaccio and spoke Italian, had a great deal to do with his success with Sergeant-Major Vittorelli And not only with Sergeant-Major Vittorelli, for that invaluable and powerful patron had introduced him to the favorable notice of Ma jor Riccoli himself.
 In this exalted quarter also, the fellow had found favor, and had so far ingratiated himself that Major Riccoli had appointed him his orderly for duty whenever Major Riccoli sojourned at Post One.
 Here, again, doubtless, the mans knowledge of Corsica, Ajaccio, and the Italian tongue, was of immense service to him in the attainment of his ambitions.
 But why he, rather than the genuine Corsicans themselves, Cor sicans bred and born?
