VATICAN PREPARES
 FOR TOURIST HOST
American Prelates to Lead Pl.
 8rims to Visit Pope

Rome. April 26 R,-With the ac-
 cord between the Holy See and the
 Italian State on the way to be rati-
 fled by the Italian parliament. with
 the forthcoming lad limina" visits
 of the American cardinals and
 bishops to Rome, most of them
 bringing pilgrims, and with the fes-
 tivities attendant on Plus Nl's "ju-
 bilee year." more Americans than
 ever before are expected to apply for
 audiences with the Pope this
 summer.
 As heretofore. most of these
 requests have been handled through the North American College. that
 higher seminary to which the best
 students of Roman theology in the
 United States are sent. In the past,
 even in the dull seasons of the year. the college authorities estimate that they pass on about 60 applications daily: and in the summertime. when the tourist rush is on. the number runs well into the hundreds.
 A conservative estimate would in- dicate that about 10000 Americans, including many non Catholics. are ushered into the Pope's presence in the course of a year. But in 1929 the forecast is that a good 30,0oo Americans will seek the pasteboards giving access to the Vatican.
 The college keeps no statistics of the number of visitors who receive invitations for audiences through it's intervention. Some come to Rome with personal letters from their bishops or pastors to Italian eccles- iastics attached to the Vatican offices, and so do not have to rely l! missed. constitute only five per cent 1 of the total: all others present their credentials to Monsignors Burke, ! Breslin or Riley. rector. vice-rector and spiritual director respectively of 1 the institution.
 Americans who contemplate see ing the Pope should bring with them a letter of recommendation from their parish priest. at least; or, if hon- Catholics. from some priest or higher prelate who knows them per sonally or through one of his practitioners. If they have friends in Rome who are known to the col lege authorities, their "sayso" will in most cases suffice. but it is better to be provided with the letter.
 Ladies should provide themselves with long sleeved and hisb-necked black dresses. black hosiery and shoes. before coming over. because that is the regulation wear Black Neils or ''mantillas" may be pur- chase or rented in Rome, but 1t is a safe precauton to bring them along. For men the officially re- quired dress is formal evening clothes. with black waistcoat. How ever. in practice. any dark suit, blue ' or black. with sOmbre tie, will be acceptable, as Pope Plus does not wish pilgrims to go :o unnecessary expense.
 Letters of recommendation should be presented at the American Col lege from 9:30 a. m. until l1:3O a. m.. except on Sundays. or else by special appointment Once the card asking an audience is issued by one of the three college authorities, the aspirant must pre- tent it in person at the Vatican, going in the bronze door" under he colonnade to the right of St. Peters. There an English speaking secretary is always on duty, and the arrangements for the reception are quickly concluded.

BLAINE REVIEWS
DORM|TORY PLEA
Bill Asks Bond Issue to Build
Permanent Residence for
u. S. Girl Workers.

The proposal for the Government to
build permanent dormitorieS for its
woman employees, to replace the tenn
porary hotels to be torn down when The
Union Station Plaza is made part of
the Capitol Grounds, was introduced in
the Senate today by Senator Blaine,
Republican, of Wisconsin.
In the last Congress Senator Blaine
fought to attach his permanent dormi-
tory plan as an amendment to the
Keys Elliott bill for the Identification
of the Union Station Plaza. On the
final day of the session, however, the
Wisconsin Senator agreed to let the
plaza improvement bill pass without his
amendment. In reintroducing it today
as a separate bill, Senator Blaine said
he would seek a vote on it at the regu-
lar session in December.
The bill authorizes $5,000,000 bond
issue to cover construction. and directs
that the new dormitories be placed
either on the present site or within
one mile of the Capitol Building, with
accommodations for not less than $500
or more than $500 persons. The prof.
ect would be carried out by the Secre-
tary of Labor, who would be given au-
thority to request the Treasury Depart
ment to issue the bonds as required.
The plan contemplates retirement of
the bonds within SO years from the
rental.
