Thousands Celebrate Tercentenary
and Cardinals Tooth
Anniversary.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 30.-From all
points of the Baltimore archdiocese
thousands of Catholics converged on
the Stadium today to witness a re-
ligious procession and worship at a
military field mass in celebration of
the tercentenary of Maryland's found
ing and the Tooth birthday anniver-
sary of the late James Cardinal Glib
bons.
Forming in the streets around
the Stadium in units representing
parochial school children, the Catholic
religious groups, lay organizations and
other groups, the procession moved to
the music of 20 bands past a review
ing stand at Thirty-third street and
Ednor avenue into the Stadium.
In the reviewing stand were Gov.
Albert C. Ritchie, Mayor Howard W.
Jackson, Archbishop Michael j. Curley
the pontiff of the mass; Most Rev
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, apostolic
delegate to the United States, and 10
other members, besides Archbishop
Curley, of the Catholic hierarchy in
this country.
Among the marchers were 5000
parochial school pupils trained to sing
the music of the mass. and in the
south bend of the stadium, an altar
capped by a small white wooden
tabernacle. regarded as the one used
by the Jesuit, Father Andrew White,
in the first mass ever said on Mary
land soil, stood ready for today's rites.
Also ready were two French 75s for
the firing of l0-gun salute to
signalize the elevation of the host,
that stage of the mass which ordi-
narily is marked indoors by the notes
of a gong. Buglers and drummers
also were on hand to add their
flourishes and rolls to the booming
of the field pieces.
Archbishop Cicognani brought with
him from Washington for bestowal on
the .worshipers the blessing of Pope
Plus XI. From the White House came
a presidential message to be read
through loudspeakers.

$4,000 on List.

The District Commissioners have
forwarded to Federal Relief Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins a request
for 100000 for the relief needs of
the District during June.
This is the same figure requested
last month for relief during May.
During May, however, the Federal
allotment was only $3.50, 900, a sum
increased by a balance carried for
ward from April of approximately
Sl50,000, so that during May a total
Of about $4,000 was available for
relief needs.
Rolls Declared Decreasing.
Although the request for June is for
the same amount as was available in
May, District officials reached by tele-
phone today all expressed the opinion
that the number of persons receiving
relief was on the decrease. The rea-
son for the attempt to continue the
relief allotments on the same scale
was not explained.
The 100000 request was made on

BY THOMAS R. HENRY.

Cosmic rays result from super
explosions Of suns, emitting energy
of millions Of billions of decillions
of ergs a second.
Such is the entirely new hypothesis
of the origin of the most powerful
and penetrating radiation in the uni
verse just presented to the National
Academy of Sciences by two astron-
omers of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington.
They find a source of sufficient
power in the so-called super novae"

of the sun which flare up for few
days as the brightest objects in the
heavens and then disappear alto

appears about once in 1000 years
among the billions of stars of the
milky way galaxy of which the solar
system is a part. The same is prob
ably true of the great island uni
verses of comparable size near enough
in space for their radiation to pene-
trate this galaxy, Of which there are
about 1000 Thus. they find. some
where in creation there is about one
''Sun explosion" year powerful
enough to create cosmic rays.
Throughout history only one such
phenomenon has been observed in the
milky way galaxy-that reported by
the great Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, in 1872. A new star suddenly
appeared, became for a few days the
hrir oh i,, hoo
then rapidly declined to invisibility.
The most powerful telescopes have
been unable to locate it since. There
has been no such event since. Those
which took place previously appar-
emily were not noticed. Some time
within the next thousand years, say
Drs W. Baade and F. Zwichy of the
Mount Wilson Observatory staff, who
advanced the hypothesis, it will be
possible to verify it by actual meas
urements because when the next Su-
per novae appears the intensity of cos
mic radiation reaching the earth
thousand times.
But at any time it may be possible
to detect one of these super-exploSions
in one of the nearer island univerSeS.
The two sponsors of the theory sug-
gest that astronomers look for one If,
at any time, a striking increase of
cosmic radiation is reported for a
short period.
Two Major HYPOTHESIS
Have Been Advanced.
Production of radiation of such
penetrating power requires source of
energy far beyond anything known
on earth.
Two major hypothesis have been
advanced. The first is that originally
sponsored by Prof Robert A. Millikan
of the California Institute of Tech
nology. 1t holds that they result from
the building up of matter in space
the energy released in the building up
of helium, silicon and iron from atoms
of hydrogen. The helium atom, for
example, is not an exact multiple of
the hydrogen atom. If it is true that
all things are built up of hydrogen,
the release of energy must account
for the difference. theoretically this
would about fit with the energy Of
cosmic rays.
The second major hypothesis is
that advanced by the Able lie Maitre,
q member of the faculty of Catholic
University here this Winter, which
howeved fantastic it appears at first
seems to have won the widest support
among American physicists. The Bel
gian priest advances the thesis that
