CROSS IS RESTORED
TO ROMAN COLISEUM
Queen and Princess Present as EN-

65 Years.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, May 19-After an absence
of SIS years the cross was restored
yesterday afternoon to the Coliseum
as the symbol of Christian faith, for
which thousands of martyrs hallowed
with their blood the soil of the great
amphitheater in former times.
Queen Helena and Princess Clio.
vanni presided at the ceremony of the
unveiling of a large wooden cross
above stone base, which Premier
Mussolini had ordered restored to the
center of the arena, from which it was
taken in 1862 because of a wave of
anti-clericalism.
At the moment Of the unveiling
chorus of 100 voices intoned the
Palestrinian hymn, while several
scores of pigeons were released and
the assemblage knelt in prayer.
A somewhat startling feature of the
ceremony from an American view
point was the fact that the band, I'M
mediately after greeting the queen
with the Royal March," broke into
the lively strains of "Over There" ;"
which was greeted solel..nly by the
throng as if it We're a hymn of re-
igiouS exultation.

ADApA, are caterpillars good

Don't you know better than to

ing at his small son.
why did you ask that, Blair? 2"
the chiid's mother inquired,
II just saw one on Papa's

And then the father wished he
had been less irritable and B lit

remarks.
This il simply to Illustrate the
feeling OF impotence that most
men feel toward their boys. One
grandmother says; Men are al.
ways picking on their sons just
ike an old rooster picks on q
young one
The strange part about the
matter Is that it Is the father
who pays-eyentualIy Tor his
coldness toward his boy.
sonny usually manages to CLEAN
sufficient favors and sunshine
from other members OF the house
hold to- make him forget pater-
nal frowIs. He may yearn for
Fathers approval and comrade-
ship every once in 4 while, when
he sees another boy Cumming
with his Dad. But youth espe.
cially male youth--taltes loss
lightly.
And so Son grows up. At the
same time Father grows older.
Then q mellow feeling comes
creeping around the heart Of
him. There Is q mighty long.
ing for the companiOnshlp, the
cooperation of his son. But
the boys interests are fixed
on other people by that time,
He respects his father. He
appreciates all that the told
man" has done for him=-then
he goes on about his own bust
ness or pleasure.
And Father is lonesome. He
IL so lonely in spirit that it
often becomes an actual physical
ache.
OF course. there are exceptions
20 the rule. / am thinking OF
one father who has kept his
boy as close to him al COM
mon interests and affection and
firm discipline can hold him.
The father has q heart trouble
that threatens to sweep him out
of existence at any unexpected
time. And it seems to me that
he ID trying to give his son
all OF the character, all Of the
instruction and all Of the ex.
perience possible while he is yet
with him. There is never any
foolish Indulgence, but there il
q partnership, friendliness and
an understand that keeps the
boys head up and shoulders
back. In tasks around home,
in sports away from home, in
trips to far-off places. the boy
and his father have stood to-
gether. Now the SON, Is in his
early teens. He has the speech
and manners of a gentleman: he
has strength of character in his
young face and he has the
bearing Of q boy who respects
himself and everybody else who
deserves 1t.
The moral needs no pointing.
1t is 4 self-evident fact that. q
father can do more for his young

HISTORY OF
ICE CREAM

MOST delicious foods were dis.
AVA covered by mistake. The
early Chinese burned down q
house before they knew how good
roast pork was. So the freezing
process used all over the world in
making ice cream was the happy
mistake of one Vatel, a Swiss cook
Of the reign Of Louis XIV, that
gourmet OF good things to eat.
Vatel was planning to serve His
Majesty with pure sweet cream
In a bowl of ice when he accident.
ly dropped salt in the ice and saw
that the cream began to freeze.
He stirred the cream. and the
freezing continued. He poured
