Duststorms Like Midwest’s
4
Are Declared Likely on Mars
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. April 30.—The
red planet Mars today took on more
resemblance to a human abode in
reports to the American Philosophical
Society showing the likelihood that It
has duststorms like those In the
Midwest as well as areas resembling
the Nile Valley.
Dr. Vesto M. Sllpher, 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 la 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
vapor.
Dr. Slipher told of the weU 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."

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
a.m.
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.
r
Anlete G. Cicognanl, 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. It was
announced last January that public
prayers would be recited at the
famous shrine at Lourdes, France,
from April 26 to 28 to bring to a close
the world holy year commemorating
the nineteenth century of the re
demption of man. Tor those who
could not go to Lourdes special serv
