use on that city's motor buses
Heretofore the buses have been
equipped with a flap swinging on
each hub cap across the wheel. 1t
was effective as a splash guard, ex-
cept when 1t tended to revOlve with
the wheel.
In the competition in Paris, the
Is participants had first to 60 over
about 10 miles Of bad road to prove
their endurance. Then a practical
splashing test was conducted. For
this, each competitor had to run
over a prepared mud track with
white canvas boards divided into
squares on each side. The amount,
or lack OF, mud ssplashed on the
boards showed the efficiency Of the
guards.
The winner was a ring of rubber
and canvas attached to the rim,
projecting about an inch or SO
from the tire. Second to this was
a similar guard, except that its at
tachment to the rim was different
The third was flap form used
heretofore on the Paris buses with
the addition Of a device to keep il
from revolving.
Paris buses are now being
equipped, in muddy weather, with
the circular form of splash pre-
venter.-
Interest in these guards has
crossed the ocean. Some form may
soon be seen on the motor buses
here.

Intense Interest Shown by Pontf in Plans for American
Fairgrounds in Rome

tinizing, the Pope sees everything.
Pope's Love of Children.
His love OF children was greatly in
evidence on this occasion. Near me
was a mother with little boy The
Pope stopped and talked, his hand
on the child's head, then he blessed
II and passed on. Further along
was a mother with two tiny children,
one not over Two years old. The
Pope stopped again and talked with
the mother and children. When he
passed on tears OF emotion were
streaming down the womans checks.
The devotion OF Pope Plus NJ to
children and their welfare is con-
sidered good grounds for believing
his expressed intention Of leaving the
Vatican upon the dedication of the
Knights OF Columbus Fairgrounds.
The rumor that Pope Plus XI is
to leave his prison walls" recurs
with persistent regularity. 1t was
believed that he would break over
those traditionaly barriers which
have held his predecessors so long
during their recent eucharlstic CON
ference.
There Is now firm belief in the
minds of Roman observers that the
present Pope will take the historic
step.
II he does so upon the dedication
OF the Fairgrounds established in his
name by the Knights of Columbus
in behalf of the children of Rome,
Il Will establish more profoundly
than ever the great respect and love
which his devotion to children has
inspired
The acquisition OF satisfactory
grounds for playground centers met
check for which the American
way OF doing things was quite un-
prepared The deal was practically
concluded when it was fortunately
discovered that the city had a right
to run three roads through the prop
erty or course all plans for this
site were Off
The Knights OF Columbus plan to |
institute six Fairgrounds in Rome |
and one Will be located so that the |
pope's great desire to look from his
windows and see the chill
iren at play may be gratifed.

These importations caused the ex-
