CHRISTIAN SERVICE HELD
IN THE ROMAN COLISEUM
Boy Scouts Memorialized on Site
Where Persons Once Were Sac
rificed to Wild Beasts.

ROME, June Is Correspondence Of
the Associated Press).-On the very
site where once Christians were Of
fered as the prey Of wild beasts to
amuse the Roman populace in the
Roman Coliseum, where Caesars sac
rificed the faithful to satisfy a pagan
lust, Christian service has at last
been held 1t was celebrated recently
in memory ct the Boy Scouts of the
Italian army who had done messen-
ger service at the front and were
killed in action.
The altar used for the service was
one which had been carried by the
Italian armies through many cam.
paigns in the Alps and was placed
in the west end of the Coliseum. The
service was presided over by Mgr.
Bartolomasi, who held the rank Of
general in the Italian army. being the
chief chaplain to the Italian forces.
The immense ruin of pagan days
was filed with people. Detachments
of Boy Scouts occupied the central
part of the building, a place in pagan
days used for the arena. The scouts
were decked in their uniforms and
carried rifles, instead of the sword
and spear of the ancient Roman glad
iator..
After the mass. Mgr. Bartolomasi
delivered stirring sermon in which
he drew attention to the change in
human thought which was able to
convert this pagan amphitheater into
a Christian temple. ~.

Are in Sight.

A waterpower bill is expected to be

been introduced in the Senate by Sen
atorS Hankhead of Alabama and
Walsh of Montana. Senator Shields
has introduced another bill. the same
as twice was passed by the Senate
in previous Congresses. and Senator
Jones also has introduced a bill much

sideration in the House. Still an
other bill embodying the ideas of
Clifford Pinchot has been introduced
by Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin. and
is understood to have been drawn by
Mr.. Pinchot and his attorneys
The support Of the western and
southern members seems to be CEN
tering around the Esch and Jones

will be consolidated. The Jones bill
has been referred to the public lands
of which Senator Smoot Of
Utah is chairman. and he has appoint
ed subcommittee of five of that
committee to work with a Subcom-
mittee of the commerce committee

GIVE HUNS THIRTY
 YEARS ID PAY UP

PARIS, March 1S.-CBy the Asso- ciated Press) On President Wilson's arrival tomorrow series of confer ences will begin which will last over the week end These have been ar ranged by Colonel F.. NJ. House. in consultation with Premiers Clemen ceau, Lloyd George and Orlando. The conference to be held on Sunday will probably deal with the delicate issue between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs over the eastern coast of the Adriatic
 Another important question await ing Mir. Wilson's attention is the length of time to be given Germany to pay her huge war debts to the allies. This is tentatively fixed at 90 years, with the payment of about q billion dollars annually during that period. It is be- lieved, however. that payment may not be made in money, but largely in com modifies or labor.
 The thirtyyear period for the pay ment of Germany's debt also involves corresponding period for German disarmament and allied supervision. French opinion inclines towards giV- ing the league Of nations supervisory authority during this period, but this view is not held in American quar- ters, where it is pointed out that it would have the effect of making the league of nations an international col lection agency and would indirectly amount to the leagues underwriting GermanyS war debts.

F HAIR |S TURNING
 CRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Besutify
 Faded Hair

That beautiful. even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's appearance hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture: you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wveth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. This can always be de- pended upon to bring back the nat ural color and lustre of your hair
 Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now be- cause it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair has disap- peared, and after another applica- ton it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.
