Note: Since it is impossible to in

nunciation of many foreign words,
the reader is asked to remember
that the pronunciations given in
these articles are often only ap-
proximately correct.
COUNT DINO ALFIERI: Italian
Ambassador to Berlin. The "i" in
both names has the zee" sound as in
machine. The second syllable of
Alf1eri is like "yay" preceded by the
sound of ''f":: DEE-noe ahl-FYAY-

BILBAO: Important commercial

second syllable, which has the "ah"
sound of father: bill-BAH-
CAIRO: Capital city of Egypt. It
should be noted that Cairo, ILL.,, and
Cairo, Egypt, have different pro-
nunciations. In Illinois the first

At the trial Joan was asked hun
dreds of questions. Her answers
have been saved and they give us q
great deal of the story Of her life
from early childhood to the time
she was captured. There also were
questions about why she had tried
Evening star., 1940-07-12
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Poor Joan! From the height Of
fame and success, she was brought
down. She was cast into prison by
the Burgundians, a prize of war"
It is an odd fact that the Bur-
gundians we're interested in her
chiefly from the viewpoint Of money.
They hoped to obtain a big ransom
for her return.
If the former Dauphin, King
Charles VII, had tried hard enough,
he could have raised money to pay
for her freedom. AS 1t turned out,
he was her friend in the time Of
her success, but deserted her in the
time Of her sorrow. She was left in
prison month after month.
Joan made an attempt to escape.
In her cell was a small window, but
1t was believed no one would dare to
jump from it to the ground, far
below. Joan made the leap, and
was badly hurt. If we may believe
the old record, the fall was so feet.
The guards picked the prisoner
from the ground and for days she
lay between life and death. Then
her strength came back.
Soon afterwards, the Burgundi-
ans gave her to the English armv.
after being paid sum of money
The English turned her over to a
church court for trial as a hectic
and witch.

the first and third syllables AIR
ee-TRAY-ah.
ERE: General Irish name for the
country OF Ireland. Do not say IRE"
to rhyme with fire. The name has
two syllables. Accent the first
AIR-uh.
SYRIA: Country in Asia at east
end of the Mediterranean. This lit
tie country is known by four differ
ent names. Syria is the Anglicized
form, pronounced SEER-ee-uh. The
Hebrew form is Aram, pronounced
AY-ram The Arabian version of
the name is Esh Sham, pronounced

Against this ambitious contract
West led a low spade. and East
played the jack South noted that
the contract was unbeatable if the
club f1nesse worked; but what if
West had the king of clubs? A
switch to hearts would then defeat
the contract, so South looked
around for a way to prevent that
switch. Can you see the neat swim
die" he executed?
South's swindle consisted in win
ming the first trick with the spade
ace! Then he led the ten of dia-
monds to dummys jack and took
the club finesse. West won with the
king of clubs-and returned another
low spade.
He naturally assumed that South
would not have taken the first trick
with the spade ace if he also held
the spade queen. West, therefore,
thought that East had the spade
queen and that the spades together
with the heart ace would defeat the
contract. Actually, however, South
won the spade return and ratified
off total of ten tricks. If South
had taken the first trick with the
spade queen West would have shift
ed to hearts, defeating the con-
tract.

of Joun's Career

to escape from prison.
The Maid of Orleans was brave
during her trial and at moments she
seemed merry, though she knew that
in the end she might be condemned.
The court judged her guilty. She
was taken back to prison and on
May 80, 1881, was put to death. She
then was only 10 years of age.
Joan of Arc ranks as one of the
heroines of history. Some years
after her death, the Pope Of Rome
ordered new study of her case
and this time she was declared inno-
cent.
Twenty years ago Joan of Arc was
canonized as saint. The work she
tried to do for France went on after
she gave up her life. The English
at last gave up Normandy and other
parts of France except Calais.

formed for the 252 children treat
ed, it was reported, and 917 children
were referred to their private dentist
for treatment. The dentist made Is

repeat work of one or more grades.

With eacn perfect shot counting

Four shots standing IS of 20; four

made eight perfect hits out OF eight
shots, for the almost unbelievable
score of l59 out Of 100.
