THE SUNDAY STAR',‘ WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 21, 1935—PART ONE. Duststorms Like Midwest’s Are Declared Likely on Mars By the Associated Press, PHILADELPHIA, April 20.—The red planet Mars today took on more resemblance to & human abode in reports to the American Philosophical | va Society showing the likelihood that it has duststorms like those in the Midwest as well as areas resembling the Nile Valley. Dr. Vesto M. Slipher, director of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz.,, one of the foremost Martian observers, said that Midwestern dust- storms the size of Pennsylvania and one or two adjoining States could be seen through telescopes if they oc- curred on Mars. They would look, he said, like bright clouds, probably a little more brilliant than Mars rainclouds. He proposed that astronomers fly about the present Western dustclouds to analyze the sunlight reflected from their tops. This analysis of dust reflection will enable astronomers to find out more definitely whether patches they some- times see on Mars are duststorms, as they have suspected. The flights should also settle a growing belief that the planet Venus is forever en- veloped in a duststorm. As long as telescopes have been turned on Venus her whole surface has been veiled in bright clouds. As- tronomers have learned definitely that these clouds cannot be rain or water r. B Slipher told of the well known snow caps which cover the Martian poles in Winter, and added: “For the rifting the cap repeats a fixed routine year after year, in exact synchronism with the seasonal rising of the sun (Spring journey northward or southward). “A certain rift of the south cap, for example, has been observed to reappear within two or three days of the same Martian date for more than 50 years.” - Three Couples Licensed.

PEACE PRAYERS SET FOR 3 DAYS Bishop Ryan of Modra to Open Period at National Shrine Friday. ‘Three days of prayer for preserva- tion of peace in the world will be observed at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the campus of Catholic University, next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Part of the movement instituted by the Pope to be held simultaneously in all parts of the world, the Wash- ington period will begin when Most Rev. James H. Ryan, Bishop of Modra and rector of Catholic University, celebrates a pontifical high mass in the shrine on Friday, April 26, at 10 am. Pontifical High Mass. On Saturday, April 27, Most Rev. John E. McNamara, auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore, will celebrate a pon- tifical high mass at the same hour. On Sunday, April 28, Most Rev. Anlete G. Cicognani, apostolic dele- gate to the United States, will cele- brate the third pontifical high mass of the local observance of the holy father’s world plea for peace. Shortly after the mass celebrated by Bishop Ryan the blessed sacra- ment will be continuously exposed, with two priests in relays in constant adoration throughout the entire | world. A holy hour, led by Very Rev. Edward G. Fitzgerald, O. P, and benediction of the blessed sacrament from 8 to 9 on Sunday evening will conclude the plan for peace through prayer. First Time in History. Nothing like this great world tridumn has ever before taken place in the history of the church.

Tor those who could not go to Lourdes special serv- ices were announced on the same days | throughout the world. | Named on H:upiul Board. 19 UI s ABBAHAMS et | 711G St. N.W.
