HIGHWAY GAP 5
PUZZLE STATE

RICHMOND, Va. Dec. I'll
Mileage additions made by tbs
state highway system by reason
Of the Vaughan act Of 1923 have
caused approximately 1000 miles
Of gaps In the system. it was
learned at the state highway de-
partment here.
The General Assembly In the
Vaughan act added 1857 miles
to the State system and, instead
Of leaving the distribution Of this
mileage to the State highway
commission, arbitrarily distributed
1t to the various counties on the
basis Of area. with certain max
imums. AS result Of this, there
are hundreds Of odds and ends
of State system roads all over
the State, and many Of these
have absolutely no relation to
the State system as it existed
before the passage Of the law.
Henry q. Shirley, State high
way commission said that the
closing Of this addition 1000

which the commission likely
would have to wrestle for years.

after the Pope and those with
him entered.
The Pope was accompanied by
Monsignor Caccia and q number
Of other high dignitaries of the
church.
Z Only Monsignor Caccia rode in
the heavily cllrtained automobile
which bore the Pope to the scene
Of the first step In his notable
career.
His holiness was dressed in a
white robe covered by q red
mantle. The monsignors followed
the pontiff's automobile in five
other cars.
The entire journey from Vati-
can City to the st. John Lateran
Basilica lasted only three hours.
as the holy party returned to the
Vatican at $3.50 q. m.
The Basilica had been pur-
posely kept empty. Early worship
ers who came there to say mass
were surprised when they were
asked to seek another place Of
worship.
Seeming that something Inn
portant was to occur, they congre-
gated about the edifice. But their
numbers were few and most Of
them had already left when the
Pope arrived.
Asks World TO Pray
The unexpected visit Of the
Pope followed an eventful day in
which he had bestowed the red
hat upon six newly created cardi-
mails and had issued an encyclical
in which he called upon the
Roman Catholic world to indulge
In contemplation and prayer as
the only remedy for the evils Of
modern life.
His holiness had just emerged
from g weeks retreat with which
he marked the jubilee Of his
priesthood. Filled with his long
spiritual reflection he immedi-
ately communicated the fruits Of
his thoughts in the encyclical.
The greatest malady OF the
modern age" his statement said,
"the principal source of the evils
We all deplore. Is the lack Of re-
Election"
He urged ali Catholics to re.
turn TO the regular habit Of re-
treating from the world in bat
ting against the inroads Of ma.
terialism and disbelief.
Points to Present Evils
he pointed out that modern
life was marked by too much de.
sire for pleasure and riches which
did not give the individual time
to give thought to the divine
laws.
He called retreat the school Of
the mind and recommended
greater participation of the laitv
in the practice and also in all the
activities Of the church.
