The Ford interests receive of

Italy Hears; Queer Tales
ii Of Cross Puzzle Zealots
ROME,1 May 1. On the heels oi
the arrival: in; Italy oi the cross
word puzzle, the claim is put for
ward that Italy is the home of an
ancient game which, it is assert
ed, was th parent of the present
form f cross-word puzzle. J. !
Although admitting that the in
creasingly popular puzzle is of Am
erican) origin. Italian ? wiseacres
maintain that a cross-word game,
a direct ancestor of the modern
pastime, was popular for many
.centuries in Italy, occupying the
leisure hours of the habitues ot
SaSBIHA IBpUIAOJd UJ SajBD ifHUIBJ
-Whether or not the claim be
well founded, it-is a fact that the
American importation is making
grsrt headway. Within a fort
night after the if irst puzzle was
printed by a weekly newspaper,
two other newspapers, one a week
ly and the other a popular daily,
followed suit, each of the three
sponsors of the new game adver- bout
tising heavily their enterprise in
introducing the novelty. I
nl addition there have arrived
dozens of newspaper articles from
tae United States and Great! Brit
ain describing in somewhat fan
tastic terms andwith occassional
obvious; inaccuracies, the) hold
which the cross-word puzzle is get
iing upon line Anglo-Saxon peo
ples. Poker, bridge, and j mah-
jongg, it is isaid, have been forgot
ten; family conversations consist
merely in requests for advice in
solving puzzles; dust is allowed to
accumulate; on rodio sets, and the
authorities! are considering laws
to force the crazed addicts jto re
