Random Notes
Tentarive plans for combatting fire
have been formulated. The work of
laving large bore pipes from the reser
voir wiil soon be started. These pipes
should stand the heavy pressure Which,
trom that elevation would force water
above the tallest building in this city.
With street connections for attaching
good hose which will be imported for
thisipurpose the carrying of .water in
small buckets may be eliminated and
the laborious pumping of this water
from the small fire engines would not be
necessary except they be used as auxiii
aries.
When a man high upin the Public
Works;Department escaped from the re
cent fire, having enough opportuniiy to
save his life only and, when by more
luck than skill the valuable Federal
buildings known as the Barracke were
saved it is time that those in authority
ger serious and set up adeguate protec

POPE PIUS Xi
Pops Pius X1 has five automobiles of
four pationalities, The average timelthe
uses them is half an hour a day. Occa
sionally. the Pope journeys ouiside the
gates of the Vatiecan City to make a visit
to his farm a few miles beyond the
hills ¢cf Rome, but that trip takes only a
few hours at the most. Except for the
farm visits the farthest the Pope drives
within the Vatican City is two miles
comprising a complete circuit of the
Vatican Gardens. The Pope likes to ride
with the top down.
The automobiles are of italian, French,
German and American origin and of
them all the Holy Father prefers the
one which came from across the Atlantic.
Ihis opne he uses four days in the week.
His chauffeur Politi’s duties are strict
ly concerned with the driving end of the
cars, for the Pope has a mechanic who
sees to the care of the motors. —Sel.
