 Series of Heart Attacks Weathered By Aged Head of Roman Catholics HAD PEACEFUL NIGHT; REPORTS ARE ASSURING Collapse Yesterday Sud den; Worse Attack Came During Early Evening
BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Rome, November 26.-(UP) - Pope Plus XI was recover ing rapidly today from a ser ies of heart attacks which for many hours had put him close to death. The rugged constitution of the Pontifi brought him through, how ever, and today the Vatican announced that he would resume normal activities after seE- eral days rest.
 He had such a calm and restful night, that this morning he was per- mitted to leave his bed and sit in an arm chair.
 He then received Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary of state. No other audiences will be granted, however. until he is fully rested, Vatican officials said.
 Vatican officials said that the pope breathes easier when seated in the chair which was built especially for him.
 To Give AbsOlution In comforting with Cardinal Pa celli, the pope instructed him to give absolution to Mrs. William J. B Macaulay, wife of the Irish minister to the Holy See, who died Thursday. A wealthy American, she had been created papal duchess because of her work for the church.
 At noon Cardinal Pacelli received newlyweds and 40v pilgrims who had been scheduled to see the pope.
 The pope received Cardinal PacelH not in his bedroom but in his pri- vate library. Vatican attendants who transported him there, said the inn provement in his condition was clearly evident Sought Permission
 The pope asked his doctors per- mission to leave his bed because he felt so much better. After thor ough examination, Dr. Aminto Mi- lani, his personal physician, permit ted him to get up with the assist ance of an attendant, and sit in a biz armchair near a window overlooking St. Peters square. The square was bathed in warm sunshine.
 Dr. Milani left the pope's apart ment at 10:30 a. m, apparently con- vinced that his patient was recover ing.
 Condition Satisfactory
 Father Agostino Gemelli, the pope's personal friend and pronli- nent physician, visited him and gave him thorough examination. Father Gemelli said the pope's condition was satisfactory"
 The pope's rapid recovery sur prised and delighted his attendants. At dawn he had received an injee- tion of caffein. It was understood that he had already received ex- treme unction, the last sacrament of the church. Official C0mmunique The Vatican issued the following communique:

historical Inconsistency

History is anything but logical or
consistent. The Pilgrim fathers, for
instance, originally sailed for the
Hudson and found themselves at
the end of their voyage on the Mas
sachusetts coast. Their destination
was the Hudson, then Dutch, be-
cause they had come from Holland,
whence they had sailed from Eng
land seeking religious freedom. But
in Holland, life was so good that
the little band of Pilgrims, seeing
absorption imminent with so many
intermarrying with the Dutch, de-
termined to keep themselves sepa-
rate by journeying to the New
World.

White and Dark Clothes

Only in bright sunshine are white
clothes in general materially cooler
than dark ones, the white rejecting
more light and affording the body
protection from the sun. The United
States bureau of standards has test
ed various fabrics to determine
their rejecting power, and has
found that the tropical closely
woven white fabrics not only reflect
much of the sunlight but also pre-
vent the transmission of ultra-vio-
let rays to the skin; according to
the tests of the bureau, it makes
little difference whether the color is
black, white, red or green. Under
ordinary weather conditions, that is
in the absence of bright sunshine,
there is probably little difference in
warmth between light and colored
clothing of the same material

Some doctors went so far as to
say that if petals of the iris were
