...Italian youths shall be purely secular and Fascist, or partially religious and Roman Catholic (TIME, April 9). Round 1 of the apparent quarrel had ended when Il Duce backed up his speech by suppressing all non-Fascist youth organizations, including the Roman Catholic Boy Scouts. Therefore it behooved the Vatican to explain, last week, that no quarrel had ever existed. The task of tidying up and if possible effacing the whole incident fell to a remarkable man: Count Giuseppe Dalla Torre, editor of the news organ which speaks for the Vatican, L'Osservatore Romano (The Roman Observer...

"Distance doesn't mean much to the younger generation," said Governor Smith. "Here am I, past fifty, and it was only...
...solemn benediction performed, near the Forum, by an abbot and a troupe of assorted monks, upon a bevy of parked automobiles. Holy water was sprinkled upon the radiators of the cars in honor of Santa Francesca Romana, a patroness of motorists. The other circumstances were connected with Vatican Bond Issue, sold in the U. S., to finance the building of the College for the Propaganda of the Faith, potent Catholic Missionary institution. The Pope had summoned George William Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago to Rome, so that he might see the cornerstone of the college laid (TIME, Mar. 5); last week...
