OF the state house grounds were $50
Boy Scouts and more than 500 men
and women. Promptly at 1880
o'clock the Scouts took their places
in line, the Scout flags and national
colors waving colorfully in the light
breeze. The governor and the legis-
lators and attaches took their places,
and Tom Murray Scout executive,
made a brief address on THE Spirit
of Scouting" The gist Of this ad-
dress follows:
Spirit of Scouting
1.-THE Spirit of Scouting is an in
tangible thing, yet it can be made a
living vital force in any community.
1t is rather difficult to define the
Spirit of Scouting. Perhaps 1t can
best be done this way: Every word in
our language has at least two mean
ings-one, the meaning the diction-

For instance, the word Mother
has a certain dictionary definition,

think not of the dictionary meaning
but Of its meaning TO us as individu-

One Of the most interesting groups
at the tables was that of the Pinal
district, composed of Indian men.

reservations. They put on a typical
Indian program of song and recita-
ton, with the entire group joining
in the song pima Land" A quar-

At 7:15 the parade order was given
out, with the executive committee
leading, the convention committee
following, and the Three G honor
contingent heading the seven differ

delegation. The parade was led by a
band, and took in the main streets of
the city before turning out Central

His Life Was saddened by the Afro
cities Of the Great War-or-
dained Priest In 1874.

Rome.--Pope Benedict XIV is dead.
From a slight cold, which had not
been regarded as anything serious,
double pneumonia developed, and the
physicians in attendance had given up
hope for the recovery Of their dis
tinguished patient. Their bulletins had
in a measure prepared the world for
the sad event.
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary
Of state, made public the fact of the
death Of the pope.
His holiness had been suffering for
some days, having contracted double
pneumonia, and treatment began too
late.
During the early hours Of the morn
jng, toward 4 o'clock, there was sud
den change for the worse and the
bronchial affection from which his holt
ness had been suffering for several
days, spread to his lungs.
The pontiff asked for and received
the last sacrament, insisting upon this,
'.if only to give good example," he
said, despite attempts by his attend
ants to dissuade him.
The pope's physicians were in con-
sultation at the Vatican at an early
hour, and the morning bulletin issued
afterward indicated an extremely seri-

Pope Benedict Prominent in Church
Counsels Before His Elevation
to the PapaI Throne.

4 Pope Benedict XIV rose to the su-
creme head Of the Catholic church
Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months
,fter he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born of noble parents
at Pogli, near Genoa, Italy, Nov. q,
1864. His father was Marquis Della
Chiesa.
Educated at Capronican college and
the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was
ordained to the priesthood in 1873.
He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by
Cardinal Rampolla, and for four years
was secretary Of the nunciature in
Spain. In 1901 he was appointed con-
sultor of the holy Office and in 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment
OF archbishop of the see of Bologna.
He was made a cardinal in May, 1914.
Saddened BY Horrors of War.
Pope Benedict was much affected by
the horrors and sorrow of the World
war and many times tried to bring
about peace negotiations. Germany's
violation of Belgium's neutrality filed
