TREASURY CERTIFICATES GAIN
FAVOR IN FOREIGN LANDS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-"Treasury
Savings Certificates are finding favor
In foreign lands as we'll as in every
section of the country and our out
lying possessions" said Lew Wallace
Jr., Director of the U. S. Government
Savings System.
Every State in the Union has pur-
chasers, and the Treasury receives
orders from Alaska, Hawaii, the
Philippines. the Canal Zone, the vir.
gin Islands and Porto Rico. But it is
not alone in the United States and It's
possessions that this savings security
Is in demand. Orders also come from
Canada. Cuba, Mexico, San Domingo
and Peru, while just recently there
was request for information about
the certificates from Rome, Italy
Some of the purchasers of the certifi.
Gates in these distant lands take the
limit. $4,000. while Others buy the
smallest denomination, SIS certif.
cate. This widespread sale shows
that the savings spirit is becoming ar
American trait, for usually these pur-
chasers of certificates are American
citizens"

AUTOMOBILE ESCAPES
AFTER INJUR|NG MAN

Kenneth Bowers. of 141l z. Pres
ton street, Baltimore. is a patient in
the Emergency Hospital as the result
of an accident on the Baltimore boule-
ward on Saturday night. Bowers, who
had brought a truckload of Balti-
moreans here on straw ride. was on
his way back when he had TO get
down to attend to some trouble with
one OF the wheels. While he was
bending over the car a passing auto
mobile struck him and threw him 10
feet unto the ditch. His brother. who
was also in the party, had the injured
man brought into the Emergency
Hospital, where it was at first thought
he had suffered fractured skull. He
also had a number of minor lacera-
tions and scratches. At the hospital
today it was said that, although there
was NO fracture to the skull. the man
was suffering from conclusion of the
brain. No trace has been found as yet
of the automobile that injured him,
and whose occupants dashed on with
out stopping to see what damage they
had caused

CORN GR|Ts NOW USED
As MONEY IN ARMENIA.
CBy The Associated Pre...,

CHICAGO, Oct. Corn grits con-
tributed by western and mid-western
farmers are used as money to buy
needed supplies for Armenian suf-
ferers, according to Alonzo Wilson,
national director of the Near East Re-
lief. Mr.. Wilson has just returned
from tour which included Armenia
and Southern Russia
Corn grits are used principally in
original form to feed the starving.
but what can be spared is used to buy
other things, such as meat" Mr. VII
son explained. Corn grits fetch two
cents pound and have supplanted
rubles in Armenia as the accepted
currency. Fifteen hundred carloads,
carried to the American seaboard
gratis by the railroads. have been
shipped to Armenia since last Oc-
tober.
"The Armenian government, con-
trolled by the Moscow government
has granted property worth 100000
900 to the Near East Relief for five
years; 10000 acres and IT'S buildings
which are used in institutional work

FACTORS THAT REDUCE
CORN PRODUCTION AS
DETERMINED BY STUDY

OF every 100 bushels OF corn that
farmers set out TO grow. only Ga
bushels are realized, according to
figures compiled by the United States
Department of Agriculture over a 49,
year period. The difference between
the potential crop and the quantity
harvested is due to weather conaiT
tons. defective seed. plant diseases,
and deyastations by insect and animal
pests. For every bushel of corn har-
vested somewhat over one-half a
bushel fails to reach harvest.
Were It not for the elements that
tend TO reduce the size OF the crop the
average crop for the 13-year period
would have been about 4.374.000 900
bushels instead OF the 2,SO5. 900 900
bushels harvested. provided the same
acreage were planted. The depart
ment points out. however. that II
these elements did not exist and 'ae
corn grower were certain of realizing
100 per cent. results. the corn acreage
probably would be greatly reduced. 20
that the final outturn might not be a
larger crop than that actually mar
vested. 1t would mean simply that
the farmer could get from about two
acres the crop that he now harvests
from about. three acres.
The largest potential corn crop was
one of about 5.0OO,000,0O0 bushels in
1917. although the ACTUAL harvest of
3.065, 100000 bushels in that year was
exceeded in the three years, 1912
1920 and 1921, the largest harvested
crop being 1908. 100000 bushels in
1920. A large crop of corn is due to
a relatively low prevention OF produc
ton by the many causes by which 1t
is limited. but, of course. production
is also related to acreage. the depart
ment's records show.
During the 1S years he lowest de-
gree OF prevention was 23.5 per cent
IF o potential crop in 1920, anl the
highest was 44.5 per cent. n 1913.
Within the period covered from about
one-forth to nearly one-half of po-
tential production has failed to be
realized. The average is little more
than one-third.

FIRE BURNS SHRINE
FAMOUS SANTA FE CHURCH, 275
YEARS OLD is DESTROYED
PICTURE is SAVED.

Guadalupe Shrine, Santa Fe, said to
be 275 years old, and famous all
through the Southwest as a place of
pilgrimage, was destroyed by fire
early last week as a result of a de-
fective electric circuit, and the price
less painting of the Blessed Virgin be-
hind the altar was slightly damaged.
Father H. P. M LIE Guillou, in
charge of the Shrine, risked his life
in his successful effort to save the
Most Blessed Sacrament. All the
statues and precious objects in the
chapel were removed.
The painting of Our Lady in the
burnt Shrine is a faithful replica of
the miraculous picture of the Shrine
of Guadalupe, Mexico. This latter is
the picture wrought in beautiful
colors by the hand of the Blessed Vir-
gin. The Santa Fe duplicate of the
original was executed by Joseph
Alzidar in 1888. He was one of the
most famous artists of his time in the
New World.
Although small, the Shrine of Our
Lady here was one of the most beau
tiful in the Western Hemisphere. It's
paintings and statues are dear to the
hearts of the devout Spanish-speaking
people. The building which sheltered
the Shrine and it's riches of paintings
and statuary was reconstructed many
times. t--

674 CATHOLIC HOSPITALS
1000 NURSING SISTERS CARE FOR
100000 PATIENTS YEARLY.

There are 674 Catholic hospitals in
the United States and about 1000
nursing sisters. In addition there are
hundreds of Catholic doctors and
nurses who assist in the work of these
hospitals. Four million patients are
taken care of yearly.
The establishment of such institu-
tions saves the various states an i'm
mense sum of money annually, not
to speak of the lives that are saved
and the shattered sickly bodies that
are restored to health. 1t is impos-
sible even to begin to estimate what
the Catholic hospitals in the United
States mean to this country. 1t is
impossible to gauge the work and the
devotion and the sacrifices of the sis
ters, the nurses and the doctors en-
