Biographical Sketch Of Late Pope Pius (Continued from Page One) elapse between the death of a pope and the convening of the Sacred College of Cardinals to eect a suc- cessor. Experience had shown that ten days was too short a time to permit the three American cardinals and princes of the church in Canada and Argentina, to reach! Rome in time to vote. On the death of Pope Benedict, Cardinal O’Connell had _ started immediately from Boston, but he arrived in Rome several hours aft- er Pius had been chosen. The lat- ter expressed personally to the | American prelate his disappoint- ment because the United States | had not been represented at the election. He explained that the cardi- nals had seriously considered the | advisability of adjourning or pro- longing the sessions, but found the constitutions were so rigi that they could not do so legally. But the new pope himself took the sion for the extended time with- in a month after his accession. But not all was change with Pope Pius. He held firmly to the historic position of the church and by every means at his disposal ernment which should say how | boys and girls were to be educat-! ed into citizenship. | The Concordat of 1929, which! was one of the pacts in settlement! of “the Roman question,” contain-! ed a clause by which the state per-! mitted religious instruction in pri-| mary and secondary schools, but! this did not fully meet the conten-| tions of either the churchman or! the statesman and the dispute was never definitely settled. Attacked Women’s Attire | Another subject which brought) iorth steady condefnnation from) Pius was women’s dress, In fact,! he deplored every manifestation! of tendencies to change the con-| cept of motherhood as the chief duty and privilege of women, in-| cluding in his denunciations beau-| ty shows, athletic meets for girls, modern dancing and similar activi+ | ties, | At one time he awarded a prize for a design of an attractive but modest dress, the medal going to! a model which had a high neck and long sleeves and reached to, within a few inches of the ground. He summed up the whole question | in one of his encyelicals in which he} declared that the women among) the early Christian martyrs were more concerned over nudity than) death. In another encyclical, is-| sued in May, 1928, he said: “Christian modesty has been la- mentably forgotten in the way of! living and the dressing of women especially, while an _ insatiable hunger for the perishab‘e thnigs of | the world, anxious seeking for! popular favor and a disdain of legitimate authority and the word) of God predominate, thus shaking the faith.” News Item: js 101,006.
