CARDINAL clBeoNs ASKS
AID FOR STARVING
ARMENlANe.

This Is the message from
James tCardinal) Gibbons read
at the big meeting in Washing
ton in aid of the Near East Re
lief. The venerable primate of
the Catholic Church in Ameri-
rn is intensely interested in the
appeal which the Near East Re
lief will make TO the country In
February for funds TO support. :.
Its work among the starving
peoples of that stricken land.
To the Washington meeting he
wrote:
'Advices and Information
coming from the Near East
cannot be doubted. There is
great actual suffering and
famine. These people, recently
become independent and re-
leased from bitter thraldom,
cannot support themselves. And
the Christian and common in
stincts of humanity which have
prompted the people of the
United States during the last
two years to relieve the dis
tress and needs, especially of
the Near East, must not be al
lowed to grow cold and be di-
minished.
II hope we shall all unite in
this nroSQpt emorpency and he
able to collect sufficient funds
to enable these peoples to live
and work until next summer
brings them permanent relief
and subsistence. 1 call upon all
to respond generously to the ap-
peal now being made and trust
that the committee will be graft

Industrial Italy Awakening.

One great stride toward freeing In
dustrial Italy from its dependence up
on its supplies Of iron ore and steel
is announced. This consists in the
acquisition Of the rights of a big Aus
trian mining company hitherto known
as the Alpine Montan Gesellschaft.
These rights comprise control Of one
of the largest steel-producing districts
in Europe. From its foundries at Err
berg in Syria alone the annual pre-
war output exceeded 100000 tons Of
finest quality steel. Experts estimate
that the mine there can be worked ad-
vantageously for at least 200 years to
come.

Potash Require
ments of the Soils

The following bulletin has been is
sued by the Georgia Experiment Sta
ton, signed by A. W. Murray,
chemist:
There seems to be a common in
terest among the farmers of the state
as to whether or not it is an economi-
cal proposition to use potash as fer
tilizer in growing the 1920 cotton
crop. A number of experiments were
conducted at the Georgia Experiment
Station in 1919, using varying per-
centages of potash, from none to 8
per cent on different types of soil.
1t is believed that these soil types are
fairly representative of the various
soil types of the state. These soils
have had some potash applied during
the war and therefore may not be as
depleted of this element as the soils
throughout the state that have had
no application of potash during the
war. Three types of soil were select
ed for these experiments, heavy clay,
medium clay and sandy soil. Fer
tilizer was applied at the rate of 600
pounds per acre and the following
results were obtained:

some of his discoveries:
All Americans live in palaces or
gorgeous hotels.
There are few servants, and those
we have are Japs or Chinks.
AS a rule, nobody dimes at home,
but at restaurants.
And when they go to the restau-
rants, they do not go really to dine,
but to dance to the music of jazz

All Americans do it-even father.
There seems to be no family life in

soil with an 1872 formula. This
yield is not shown in the table, but
the total yield was 1858 pounds of

From the results obtained at the

LAYMEN's RETREATS POPULAR.
Catholics Urged to Avoid Crowd Mt
Last BY Attending Third Saturday.

St Marys, Aug. 2O.-The Laymen's
Retreats set for the month of August
at st. Mary's college, st. Marys, Kan,
will begin next Saturday morning at 8
O'Clock. A large attendance is ex-
pected. Many reservations have al
ready been made. and each mail brings
further requests.
The retreat to begin Saturday morn
ing and to continue until Monday
evening is the third of a series planned
for the summer vacations. Two were
held in July and brought a record at
tendance. Besides the one of next
Saturday. Sunday and Monday. there
will be another on August IS. %, 80.
Father kaufman will be in charge of
the two August retreats.
In order not to disappoint any who
wish to take part. word has been sent
to the different Catholic centers urS
ing attendance al the third retreat
rather than at the fourth. This fourth
retreat is usually overcrowded,
whereas the third. tho well attended,
does not as a rule test the capacity
of the institution.
This year not more than 100 can be
accommodated owing to the tearing
down and rebuilding of the large din
ing hall. If more than that number
apply some will have to be refused. A
more even distribution of attendance
between the third and fourth retreats
would enable Father Kuhlman to sat
isfy all applicants.
