DEATH OF POPE Plus

The death of Pope Plus XI removed
from the earthly scene one of the greatest
figures of our time, whose passing is
mOurned by the whole civilized world. He
was 81 years old at the time of his death,
and for II years had been the spiritual
rules of nearly $50 million Roman
Catholics.
Born Achilles Ratti at Desio, Italy,
May 81, 1857, he was ordained priest in
1879, and after holding various important
positions in the church was made a car
dinal in 1921 Less than year later, on
February 6, 1922, he was elected pope to
succeed Benedict XIV, and was crowned as
Plus XI on February IL.
An important event of his reign was
the signing of treaty with Italy in 1929,
ending the 59-year-old Italian law which
had made the popes virtually prisoners in
the Vatican. By this treaty the state of
Vatican City was. created, with the pope
as temporal sovereign, and normal rela-
lions with the Italian government were re-
sumed
Plus XI labored INCREASINGLY in the
cause of peace, and the latter years of his
life were saddened by the civil war in
Spain. and by religious and racial per-
secutions elsewhere, which he vigorously
condemned. He was widely referred TO as
the pope of peace" and as such his
memory is revered throughout the world.

Editor HolIums. of the Miami Herald,

Editor Hollums of the Miami Herald,
said the other day in his column that Mi
ami was rearer the Panama Canal, the
West Indies and the Florida Straits than
Key West This column then repliedthatthe
erudite editor had forgotten or COMPOUNDED
the geography he had learned in his youth;
now the Herald's cartoonist, a clever one
at that, demonstrates an axiom of geometry
which declares that a straight line is the
shortest distance between two points by
picturing Key West nearer to the Panama
Canal, the West Indies and the Florida
Straits but the wording defies and denies
these facts. Anything to pull the wool over
the eyes of the House Naval Committee, in
the hope they, too, may have forgotten
their geography and their geometry.
