PRAY TO VIRGIN IMAGE
FOR RAIN IN MEXICO

Mexico City, June 9.-The image
of the Virgin de los Remedies was re
moved last night from the small vii
lage of Los Remedies, near this city,
to the cathedral here, where it will
be exposed for. several days while
devotions are held to end the
drought, which has reached serious
proportions.
Thousands of persons followed
the image to the cathedral, where a
solemn ceremony was held, presided
over by the Archbishop of Mexico.
This is the first time that the image
has been removed in many years.
Mexico City is threatened with the
closing down of the lighting system.
The impounding dams at Necaxa
contain water sufficient for only a
few more weeks. The city has been
OH water ration for some time, and
there is much illness.
The Virgin de los Remedies is a
small wooden image carved about
twelve inches high, evidently carved
with a dull perlknife. The carving be
speaks the work of the Indian. The
statue is reversed as the Goddess of
Water.

COMET THIS MONTH
WILL MISS EARTH
TEN MILLION MILES

Cambridge, Mass, June Twin
necke's comet, the expected approach
of which to the earth this month has
caused much comment, will probably
not come within ten millions miles of
US, according to information receiv-
ed at the Harvard College Observa-
tory from astronomers in various
parts of the world who are studying
it's motion closely.
The comet will make its nearest
approach to the sun on June 13, and
will be at it's brightest at about the
same time. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether it will be visible to the max
ed eye as it will be Of approximately
the sixth magnitude.
Several astronomers predict me-
teoric shower on June 27, as a re-
suit Of the comets approach.

as "a relief to the darkly tragic charac-

cover that this sincere actor was such
a spirited comedian. and could clown Il
IN the most approved Shakespearean
fashion.
He and his company did not present
the play in the manner of high comedy
In which IL has been so often do'cd out.
Instead they put 1t on briskly farcical
