ALUMNI PRESENT
ALTAR TO SHRINE
international Catholic Fed
Grafton Also Tenders Check
for Completion of Pledge.

The Mary memorial altar in the Ma
tional Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception at the Catholic University was
presented formally to the shrine by the
International Federation of Catholic
Alumnae yesterday afternoon.
Simple ceremonies featured the
presentation, which was marked by the
unveiling of dedicatory bronze tablet
and the donation of sum sufficient to
complete the federation's pledged $780,
600.
Attended by federation members from
the District of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia, the exercises were opened at
o'clock by Rev. Barnard A. McKenna,
director of the National Shrine and a
member of the university faculty. Dr.
McKenna introduced Mrs. Mary Finan,
national president of the Alumnae Fed
Grafton.
Location Is Held Fitting.
Declaring that the offer to present
the National Shrine with an altar was
spontaneous and born of respect for the
love Of the Blessed Virgin, Mrs. Finan
contended it particularly fitting that
the National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception should be located at the
Catholic University
"Since Mary Immaculate is the
patron of our church in America" she
said, "since the Catholic University
through its constitution approved by
the Holy See has been placed under her
guidance and protection, it is fitting
that this shrine should rise on these
grounds
Addressing Right Rev. James T. Sha-
han, rector emeritus of the university,
Mrs. Finan declared "our federation is
bound to you by ties of deepest graft
tude for your unf1agging interest in our
work. for your counsel and direction.
I'VE ask that, as mark of good will,
you accept this offering"
At this, the president of the Alum
nae Federation presented Bishop Sha-
han with check for an amount com-
pleting the fund of $4,000 which 1t had
pledged for the altar.
In accepting the check for the shrine
Bishop Shahan expressed his gratitude
and remarked on the toll and sacrifice
Of the donors which the gift represented.
A bronze tablet of dedication, placed
in the wall of the uncompleted portion
OF the crypt, was unveiled by Sister
OO6ekAS
founders of Federation of Catholic
Alumnae, and Mrs. Mary Wade Kali
bach. Speakers who followed the tab
let unveiling included Mgr. Edward A.
Pace, vice rector of the university, and
Mrs. Clara Sheeran of Brooklyn.
BenedictiOn Celebrated i'm Shrine.
Following the brief talks. the assem-
bly, entered the shrine, where benedic-
ton was celebrated. Bishop Shahan
was the celebrant; Rev Edward p.
McAdamS of st. Joseph's Church.
Washington, deacon, and Rev. Father
Shelley of Philadelphia, subdeacon.
OF Algerian onyx, the Mary memorial
altar was completed the first of the
year and is considered one of the most
magnificent church structures in the
United States. The fund for its erec-
ton, completed by the donation made
yesterday, was founded in 1919 by Mrs
Sheeran, then president of the fedora
tion.

piney woods of Georgia to meet the
folks in "the cove.' a secluded section
wherein the inhabitants have lived for
generations in rustic simplicity
He found there little evidence of the

dozen square miles. wherein reside about
800 persons. They are completely sur
rounded by mountains, with the Flint
River making the only outlet. For
generations the same families have
tilled the SOIL Strangers are usually
viewed with suspicion.
One of the first things Mr. Roose-
velt learned was that he was in an AL
Smith stronghold.
How did the election go here?" he
asked.
Sixty to nothing for AL" was the
reply.
The trip took the greater portion of
Mr.. RooSevelt's day. He is almost ready
for his return to New York, planning
to start Monday.

AMAZON EMPIRE IS
 NOW OPEN TO FORD
Auto Wizard to Develop Vast
 Jungle Concession

Detroit, May II (NEA Service)- Henry Ford proba bly will never fit q crown over his somewhat wrinkled forehead. He doesn't think much of kings.
 Yet Ford, by his concession from the state of Para, in Brazil, has be- come an absolute monarch over rich tract of land nearly as large as Connecticut and Rhode Island con- bined.
 This concession gives Ford abso- lute control over some 3,700, 900 acres of land on the Rio Tapajos, in the heart of the wild Amazon basin. And, although it's terms have arous- ed some opposition in Para and Rio de Janeiro, most Brazilians are hop ing that they will at least see what they have long-dreamed of; large- scale exploitation of the rich Ama- zon jungle by twentieth century business.
 The Amazon basin is. potentially, one of the richest areas on earth. The soil is black and rich from the accumulation of centuries of jungle deposit. Abundant rainfall and trop- ical weather make it amazingly pro- ductive. The wide, deep streams of the Amazon system permit ocean, going steamers to penetrate direct to Ford's concession.

ANDY; WHERE TEA ! IS BIG BUSINESS
City lSdl, Though Large, Is
 Generally Dirty

Washington, D. C., May H. Annoy, the south China port which has threatened boycott of foreign goods, is of especial interest to stu dents of history" says a bulletin from the Washington. D. C., head quarters of the National Geographi- cal society.
 From Annoy, aboard British ves- sels, came the tea which furnished material for the Boston Tea party. This was before the days when Annoy was an open port for foreign trade. though sailing vessels fre- auently called at their own risk After Canton it early became one of the centers of clipper ship activity. and was designated a treaty port for foreign commerce.
 Near FOrmOsa
 "A strategic position on the China coast with relation to the tea trade was thus the foundation of Amoy's fortunes. The city lies in Fukien Province. early celebrated for fa- nous brands of the cheering bever- age, and directly oppohite the Island of Formosa, home of the still sought after Formosa oolong. In fact the word tea itself is said to be an an- glicization of the Annoy dialect desig- nation of the brew.
 During the last quarter century tea has somewhat lost its position of importance at the port of Annoy. The quality of leaf grown in the hinterland is said to have greatly de- clined, and competition from Ceylon. Japan and other places has been felt in world markets. These and more obscure causes have operated to re- duce tea from its high place on the list of Amoys exports.
 Merchants Unusually Keen
 Some tea, however is still ship ped from the old center, together with much porcelain, paper and oth- CT Chinese products. Annoy is one Of the most important ports with rela- ton to the American trade, being a leading center for United States commerce. Sugar, rice, raw cotton, cotton goods, and ironware are among the leading imports which come into Annoy rom the outside world. Rice arrives by junk from distant parts of China and the Or isnt Europe and America furnish the other products.
 Though possessing some fine buildings, Annoy city is scattered and dirty. The port is situated on an is iand of the same name. containing

 Exempt From Taxes

Exempt From Taxes
 Ford. who plans to establish a huge rubber plantation on his new domain. will be species of king. His contract permits him to engage in banking. commerce. navigation and contract labor without any gov ernment interference lets him build railroads and highways and expro- priate land for them, without hin- drance, and allows him to import materials duty free and form sub sidiary companies that cannot be taxed.
 This gives him a free hand. If he uses this opportunity to its fullest extent, it may be that he is now be- ginning the most spectacular project of his long. spectacular career.
 Ford can grow, on his own plan tation, more than enough rubber to supply the needs of every manufac- turer in the United States-and United States manufacturers con- sume annually some so per cent of the worlds output. In cold figures, it reads like this: If he plants only half of his land in rubber, and aver ages a yield of 500 pounds to the acre-which is not too high an av- erage-he can produce between 350,- 900 and 100000 long tons of rubber a year. The consumption of rubber in the United States in 1926 totaled 354,461 long tons.
 This would not only shatter the British rubber monopoly; it might even put it out of business alto- gether.
 Of course, there is no indication that Ford will produce rubber for anyone but himself. But all indica- tions are that. his undertaking will be a tremendous one.
 This development, it is believed will give northern Brazil an indus trial and economic impetus seldom paralleled before in the world. Once business begins developing the Amazon basin the sky will be the limit.
 Rubber is not all Ford will get out of his kingdom. The land is cov- cred with valuable hardwood trees and produces an abundance of Bra gil nuts. Ford intends to make these products pay for the work of clear ing the land and establishing the plantation.
 Transportation problems are hali solved at the start. The Tapajos river, which forms the western boundary of the Ford land, is from one to 10 miles wide and has a min- imum depth of 30 feet. Ocean-goine steamers can dock at towns in the Ford concession, although they are upwards of 1000 miles from the sea- coast, via the Amazon. Ford will be able to ship rubber from Brazil tc his factories in Detroit by an all water route.
 The Ford concession is largely unexplored. Hundreds of thousands of acres in it have never been seen by white men. Thirty-foot snakes in.

fest its rivers. naked savages paddle rude dugouts on the surface and jaguars and monkeys roam through it's dense jungles. It exists today as it existed hundreds of years ago. The Amazon basin is the last large sec tion of virgin jungle in the world and the Ford concession is in the heart of it.
 Tanned young Americans are now making their way through this jungle with surveying outfits. They are plotting routes for paved high ways and railroads. Docks will be built. whole new cities will arise; twentieth century civilization wlli spring up over night.
 And, to cap the climax, the Anna zon basin, where all travel now is by water or by Indian trail, prob- ably will become another market for Ford automobiles, as soon as paved roads are built.

an estimated population of about three hundred thousand people, of these less than 300 are Europeans and Americans. The native mer- chants of Annoy have reputation of being among the keenest and most intelligent in all China, due no doubt to long intercourse with the outside world"
