By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, Sept. 24.-Japan was pre- pared today 10 extend warm well come to Major Pedro Zanni, Ar genuine aviator on world air cruise, when he lands at kagos- hima, his first stop on Japanese soil. he is now at Hong Kong, China.

Bouquets and gifts from the city will be bestowed upon Major Zanni after he hears an address of well come by the Kagoshima mayor.
 Zanni's visit will undoubtedly present an opportunity to strengthen relations between Japan and the Argentina republic just as the visit of the American world fiiers to Ja- pan helped to ameliorate United States Japanese relations during the exclusion crisis, said General Gaish Nagaoka, president of the Imperial Aviation society today The society is taking the lead in arranging the Tokio program and reception. Referring to the fre- quent public suggestions that the welcome to Major Zanni be made warmer than those extended to the American, French or British aria- tors. General Nagaoka said:
 Tn welcoming Major Zanni to Japan We must not consider poli- tics but the opportunity of honor ing and aiding the aviator and i'm proving our friendship with the Ar genuine republic is undoubtedly appre eciated here. The Japanese people will do their utmost to enter tain Major Zanni and to aid his success. However, the reception is intended only to equal in heartiness those given to the American, Brit ish and French aviators who visit ed Japan.

SECRET OF KEEPING YOUNG

Why is it that some women look older at thirty-five than others do at fifty? Why is it that so many women are always rundown, weak, pale, nervous, irritable and unhappy? Health, vitality and freedom from pain and disease alone can prevent the signs of age from fastening themselves upon women. All over this country women are awakening to the fact that the ills, aches and pains of women may be relieved by Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and the result is renewed life, energy and the glow of health. In fact, the secret of keeping young is to ward off all internal ailments that cause premature old age. which is easily accomplished by this remark able root and herb remedy,

EARLY RECORDS
 KEPT ON FARM
Famous KenslnstOn Rune Stone
 Now in Wisconsin
Ephriam, Wis, Sept 24--Kensing-

Ephriam, Wis, Sept. 24--kensins- ton Rune Stone, one of the oldest documents of American history, over which scientists of two continents debated as to its genuineness more than 20 years ago, now has per- manent home on the farm of Il. R. Holland, author, near here.
 Several societies and eminent au- thorities have chased the stone as authentic as to discovery and con text, and say it proves to them that there were white people exploring the interior of America as cary as 1862.
 The Kensington Rune Stone, so- called because of its discovery on the farm of Olaf Ohman, near Ken sington. Minnesota, when found was encircled by the roots of tree and appeared to be very ancient in char acter. It carried a date more than eight hundred years in the past The presumption of scientists is that the stone was inscribed by early Morse men who landed in America in search of fellow countrymen.
 How the stone came to find a resting place in Minnesota has been a matter of conjecture for many years, but the generally accepted theory is that it was carried down in q glacial drift from the region of Hudson Bay.
 MT. Holand has trapslated the Runic inscription on the stone as follows:
 Eight Goths and twenty-five Eorsemen on (an) exploration jour ney from Vinland through the west ern regions. We had camp by two skerries one days journey north from this stone. We were (out) and tished one day. When we came home (we) found ten men red with blood and dead. Ave Maria. Save (us) from evil!
 "(We) have ten of our party by the sea to look after Cor for) our vessels 14 days journey from this island. Year 1882"
 The ten men mentioned in the text are supposed to have been members of the exploration party left to watch the camp while the rest went fishing, as stated.
 In theory the story of the ex- ploration party's presence in Ameri- ca is that an expedition was fitted out in Norway in 1855 by Paul Knut- son in relief of tolonists in Green land. It is believed that Knutson eventually reached Vinland and not finding those of whom he came in search, iourneyed on to what is now the Hudson Bay country. The time ~of this expedition fits in with the date inscribed on the Rune Stone.
 The words s"Ave Maria" of the text indicates the presence of Catholic priest in the expedition, Mr. Holland says.
 Very litle is known of the ,knutsor expedition or of its return, but 1t is known that the men included in itS personnel were a long time absent.
 A further theory is that the "blond Eskimos," described by the explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson as having been found by him west of Hudson Bay in 1909, may have been descendants of the Host colonists, ' in search of which knutson went.

 Genealogical research concerning his own family first led him into the historical field. He has traced his ancestry back to Governor William Bradford, who came over on the "Mayfiower,". and to the days when the family name was spelled "Shep- pard" and "Shephard."

Kilbourne became a surveyor. soldier. minister and con- gressman, being the only native of this city ever sent to congress.
 Facts like these come readily to his mind without the help of the fine collection of books on New England history which he has.
