COMMERCE BUREAU
DOUBLES ITS WORK
Foreign and Domestic Trade
Queries Last Year Num-
bered 1850, 900.

Work of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce has been doubled
in the last two years, according TO
the annual report of DR.. Julius Klein.
director of the bureau, made public
today by the Department of Com
merce.
The bureau. DR.. Klein told Secre-
tary Hoover, handled during the last
fiscal year approximately 1,250,000 in
quiries from American business men.
Business resulting from the replies,
the records showed, amounted to
about $427 per inquiry. The food
stuffs division received $4,000 in
quiries from farmers and dealers in
farm products, while the automotive
division answered 100000 inquiries,
the specialties division $4,000 and
the textile division 1000.
Many Queries on Europe.
Queries during the last fiscal year
concerning western Europe numbered
100000, while $4,000 related to Latin
America and 174,000 to the Far East.
These last three were shown to be
figures more than 10 times as great
as the number attended to during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1922.
In addition to gaining for American
business thousands of small orders,
the report said, the bureau has been
instrumental in obtaining several six
figure contracts for Americans. The
Rome bureau was responsible for OBJ
tanning a 100000 harbor contract
and a mineral exploration entailing
the expenditure Of five millions with
in 10 years for American firms.
Confidential Circulars.
The practice of spreading informa-
ton to bona f1de American firms by
confidential circulars, DR.. Klein said
has been increased and has received
strong Endorsement from all concerned
The report also cites the aid given
to American firms during the earth
quake disaster in Japan last year
Notwithstanding that the office in
Toxic was destroyed, it's work went
forward and facts regarding Japanese
markets for reconstruction material
and hte chances Of buying Japanese raw
materials were gathered.

break up the outer portions of the
nebulae into swarms of stars. which
may be studied individually and
compared with those in our own
system.
From an investigation of the
photographs 36 variable stars of type
referred to, known as Cepheid vari-
ables, were discovered in the two
spirals, Andromeda and No. 33 OF
Messier's great catalogue of nebIlae
The study of the periods of these
stars and the application of the re-
lationship between length of period
and intrinsic brightness at once pro-
vided the means Of determining the
distances of these objects.
''The results are striking in their
confirmation Of the view that these
spiral nebulae are distant stellar sys-
TENS. They are found to be about
10 times as far away as the small
Magellanic cloud. or at a distance OF
the order of one million light years
This means that light travelling at
the rate of 10000 miles a second has
required a million years to reach US
from these nebulae, and that we are
observing them by light which left
them in the Pliocene age upon the
earth.
with knowledge OF the distances
Of these nebulae, we find for their
diameters $4,000 1ight-years for the
Andromeda Nebula and $1,000 light
years for Messier 33. These quanti-
ties as we'll as the masses and densi-
ties of the systems,' are quite COM
parable with the corresponding val
ues for our local system of stars.
Although these nebulae are the
most distant objects for which we
have reliable data, it seems probable
that many of the smaller spiral
nebulae are still more remote and
appear smaller on this account. From
this point of view the portion of the
universe within the range of our in
vestigation consists Of vast numbers
Of stellar galaxies comparable to oul
own, scattered about through nearly
empty space and separated from one
another by distances of Uncomfortable
magnitude"

CAPITAL PRIEST
GETS PAPAL HONOR
Mgr. Joseph H. Cassidy Made
Domestic PreIate Before
Church Leaders.

Attended by clergy and prelates
from this city and vicinity, st.
Stephens Church, Twenty-flfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, passed
through day of religious ceremonies
yesterday marking a new epoch in
the church history. First, Mgr. Jo-
seph H. Cassidy, pastor of the church,
was invested with the purple robes
of domestic prelate of the papal
household. and 1t was accompanied
with all the pomp and pageantry that
for four centuries has attended such
events. Then in the afternoon a class
of 1875 boys and girls was confirmed
in the church and this was followed
by the dedication of the 100000
parochial school.
The solemn investiture was con-
Quoted by Archbishop Curley, an out
standing feature of which was the
presence on. the altar of four men
who attended st. Stephens Church
and who came here especially for
the ceremony. Rev. Francis J. Leary
Of ST. AIMS Church, Baltimore, one
Of them, celebrated mass. He was
assisted by two of the others, Rev.
Joseph ]. Leary of st. Peters Church,
Western Port, Nd, and Rev. Joseph p.
Callaghan of st. Brigid's Church,
Baltimore. Rev. James ]. OConnor of
the Corpus Christi Church, Baltimore,
the fourth, served as deacon to Mgr.
Cassidy.
40 Prelafes Present.
Among the 40 prelates who were
in the sanctuary were three who
formerly were attached to st.
stephens. They were the Rev. Rob
ert ]. Froelich of st. Augustine's
Church, this city: the Rev. Thomas
G. Smyth, pastor of the Blessed
Sacrament Church Of Chevy Chase,
and the Rev. George ]. Larkin of the
Church Of the Blessed Sacrament.
Baltimore. The latter also served
as a deacon to Mgr. Cassidy.
Mgr. C. F. Thomas, rector Of st.
Patrick's Church, preached the SER
mon. He praised st. Stephens parish
for the firmness of it's faith and
achievements as pastor. Mgr. Cas-
sido. he said, had realized early that he
had a mission to perform and that he
had worked at it trelessly and I'M
swervingly.
Archbishop Curley echoed Mgr
Thomas praise of the parish and Its
pastor. He described Mgr. Cassidy
as a "priestly priest" and explained
| that more than that could not be said
| of any churchman.
I, Mgr. Cassidy's greatest achieve
ment, he said, was the new st
| Stephens School. This he described
| as his greatest monument to Jesus
| Christ.
The Rev. r. Vincent Fitzgerald OF
st. Stephens made the arrangements
for the days events. The Rev. VIII.
| liam A. Neligan acted as master OF
ceremonies. The choir was under the
direction Of Miss Margaret M. Stat

PLANS TO AVERT
FAMINE IN COAL
Engineering Council Commit
tee Urges System of Uni
form Monthly Shipments.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tHe associated tress-
NEW YORK, November PA re-
port of the coal storage committee
of the American Engineering Coun-
ell, made public yesterday by James
Hartness, president of the organiza-
ton, outlines a series of community
plans by which the principal cities of
the country may, through a system
of uniform monthly shipments, avoid
coal famines. Mr.. Hardness said the
survey on which the report is based
has revealed that storage is the
remedy for the nations coal trou-
bles.
The committee recommends, accord
ing to the report, that all con-
sumers purchase their coal on an an
nual contract for yearly require
ments, with provision that the coal
be delivered monthly in equal allot-
ments. Consumers are urged to pro-
vide storage facilities to meet the
terms of such a contract.
Regular Schedule Possible.
The recommendations are based on
the finding that the purchase of coal
on a monthly delivery basis will en-
able coal mines to inaugurate and
maintain a regular production sched-
ule and make it possible for carriers
to plan definitely both schedules and
equipment for uniform movement
of coal.
"A reduction in the price of coal
will be made possible" the report
states, "by more regular schedules of
production and transportation and by
elimination of peak demands in the
Winter months, when the costs of
both production and transportation
are the highest.
1.-The railroads have more to gain
by storing coal than any. other class
of consumers" the report continues.
They should store their own coal on
such a scale and at such times as TO
obviate the movement of company or
non-revenue- producing coal during
the period when there is a heavy de-
mand for the transportation of
revenue-producing freight"
View of John Hays Hammond.
In the foreword of the report John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the
United States Coal Commission, says:
This report Of an engineering survey
of the possibilities of improving the
method of purchase, delivery and
storage of coal should appeal to
producers, carriers and consumers as
the key to the solution of many OF
their troubles. The Presidents Coal
Commission, learning of the purpose
of the American Engineering Council
to make such study, assigned to it
the task of conducting an extended
engineering survey of the storage of
coal.
1.-THE commission and other Govern
ment departments have collaborated
with the American Engineering Coun-
ell extensively, the survey has been
conducted BY over 400 engineers in
| leading industrial centers, and the re-
port has been formulated by a COM
mittee of prominent engineers

of the subject covered"

exercise several times a day with
out even rising from your chair,

with this same upward stroke of
the towel. Finally, apply some
such astringent as pure dena-

your chin and rub it in with the
upward stroke.
Five minutes a day is long
enough for this upward massage,
