CARDINAL
HELP FOR G. U.
Collection to Be Taken Up
In All Churches in
United States.

Paying high tribute to the con-
tributions already made by the
Catholic University of America to
the development of American Cath
Olic life in the last thirty years,
Cardinal Gibbons has sent out an
appeal for a generous response for
the Catholic University collection to
be taken up in all the churches
throughout the country.
Following the custom of former
years, a collection will be taken up
in all Catholic churches the first
Sunday in Advent.
1T was admitted by all that the
Catholic University has had a large
share in the happy development of
American Catholic life in the last
three decades" the letter addressed
to each American bishop reads in
part. quite apart from its daily
service to Holy Church and to hu-
man learning it has called into
being and nourishes generously
educational works of a high order
of religious helpfulness and merit"

FIRM
MADE MISDEAL
Woman Sues to Get Back
Stocks Sold by Bank
rupt Concern.

William Clabaugh, receiver of the
bankrupt brokerage firm of Moor
head and Elmore, was ordered yes
terday by Justice Stafford to show
cause why on October 20 he should
not accept s2,270.1U from Mrs. Es-
telle Tubins and in return surrender
to her certain steel and automobile
stocks which she claims as her
property.
Mrs. Tubins claims that during
last winter she turned over to the
brokers five $1,000 shares of stock OF
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and a certificate of eighty
shares of stock of the Overland Au-
tomobile Company as collateral for
future transactions.
Afterwards, she claims, she au-
authorized the brokers TO buy in her
her name 100 shares of the Cana
dian Steel Company, for which she
claims she became indebted to the
brokers to the extent of s9,760.9O.
These stocks. she alleges, were not
delivered to her, although she ten
dered payment.
Without authority, from her, Mrs.
Tubins claims, the brokers sold her
stocks and received s7,1S3.50 for the
steel stock and s3O7.20 for the auto.
mobile stocks, making a total of ST.
4SO.5O. She now demands that the
brokers pay her the difference be-
tween the latter amount and what
she was charged with on the origl-
nal purchase OF the steel stock-or
s2'27o.10, and also return the stocks
used as collateral.

Great English Scientist to

How scientist became a convert
Of the religion of health through
faith is the story Frederick L. Raw
son, one of Great Britain's most
noted scientists, will bring to Wash

Mr.. Rawson is recognized in
Great Britain as a great scientist.
He was consulting engineer for the
first airship built for the British
War office and was pilot for the
ship on it's trial trip.
From the field of purely practical
science Mr.. Rawson stepped into
that of metaphysics and became an
ardent believer in the power Of faith
to cure human ills.
1 is said that some Of the cures
he has performed approach the
miraculous, many OF them being in
Simultaneous. He declares that it is
humanity possible for those who ac-
cept his teachings to throw aside
their crutches and walk. The power
of evil" he declares, is the power

Government Expert Tells of
Efforts to- Revive Run.
= Down Wells.
NEW METHODS FAIL
Use of Compressed Air and
Water Tried In Petro-
leum Fields.

The high cost of gasoline. caused
among other things by the failure
Of production of crude petroleum to
keep pace with consumption, has
cEeatsd a serious problem. accord
ing to J. O. Lewis, chief petroleum
tecRnologtst Of the United States
Bureau of Mines, Department of the
Interior.
Much attention has been given to
invention Of a gasoline substitute,
but plans for increasing the crude oil
supply by reyiving wells that have
been pVpped dry or nearly so are
Eeceiying attention. Several meth
DDS have been employed during the
past few years to bring to life oil
welIs that are classed as run down."
The less that IS known about prof.
ects the easier it is to pick up run
down leases at nominal prices, put
the plan in operation and reap the
benefit Of increased profits through
increased yield.
Increase Very slight.
In some cases. depending upon the
method used and the popularity of
the field, the increase in production
is barely perceptible. while in others
the yield is multiplied as much as
fifty fold, according to Mr.. Lewis.
The theory upon which most Of
the ideas were worked out is that
the decrease in the flow Of oil from
- pumping we'll is, caused by the

Compressed Air Used.
Among the prevailing methods for
eliminating these conditions is the
use of compressed air. the flooding by
water. and the introduction of an
electric heater to dissolve the par
anime formation.
The use Of water has found much
favor in the old fields around Brad
ford. Pennsylvania. The same prin-
ciple is applied except that water
instead of air is made the agent for
driving the oil to the other wells.
