TOCKHOLM, July 27.-That the
Swedish Vikings of old were art
collectors as well as feared warriors
an dworld travellers, has been dis
covered by Swedish Psychologists.
When the Vikings, more than
1000 years ago, penetrated the Rus
sian, plains and sent expeditions to
the Black Sea and the Mediter-
ranean, they captured rich booty
which they brought back to Sweden
This consisted of beautiful gold
and silver ornaments and bric-a-
brac as we'll as Roman, Byzantine
and Oriental coins.
Their spoils also comprised an
interesting marble statue, which was
unearthed on the Swedish island OF
Oeland in the Baltic Sea.
How this statue, sculptured in the
early Hellenic period of 600 B. C
came to be shipped to the Baltic
shores remains a mystery, but it
seems to indicate that the Vikings
were no barbarians with love only
for money and glittering gold, but
also showed a liking for beautiful
things in art.

"A crop of death-defying attempts

of the success which crowned the
attempt of Jean Lussier, Spring
field, Mass, who recently went over
the cataract in rubber ball.
The ease of which Lussier sue

his almost complete lack of body

desire to attempt the stunt, which
only three persons ever have ac-
complished.

CHINESE SEEK
PRECIOUS ART,
TAKEN AS LOOT
Collection Worth Millions
Missing Since 0uSting
of Boy Emperor.

PEKIN, July 27.-The return to
power of Marshal Feng Yuhsiang in
north China has renewed interest of
Chinese and foreign art connoiseurs
in Pekin in the question, What has
happened to the art treasures taken
from the boy emperor"
Some four years ago, in 1924, when
Marshal Feng seized Pekin by a
coup d'etat, he summarily elected
the boy emperor from the Imperial
Palace, and a great number of art
treasures held by the former Man
chu ruler disappeared.
A few of the smaller objects have
since appeared on the market in
Pekin, but these are attributed to
thieving eunuchs who used the ex-
citement,o of the occasion to get away
with whatever they could.
The more important objects, how
ever, have never appeared, either ir'
China or abroad.
A group of prominent Chinese
curio dealers in Pekin were much
interested when they learned that
Marshal Feng had decided to evict
the boy emperor from the palaces
set aside for him in the Forbidden
City.
They knew that the boy emperor
had gathered together many of the
Manchu treasures, covering CEN
turtles Of Chinese history, and of
great historic and intrinsic value.
They suspected that these treasures
might disappear and placed spies
around the forbidden city to see
what would happen.
A spokesman Of this group has
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-07-27

informed the United Press that all
the more valuable articles we're re-
moved from the boy emperor's
quarters in 1924, and that many
boxes and bales were loaded on
camels held in waiting.
These camel-trains were traced to
one of Pekin's gates, through which
they passed on their way to the
northwest. The spies did not dare
proceed further, so it is not known
where the camels went.
The curio dealers are convinced
that these art treasures still are
hidden somewhere in the northwest,
subject to the disposal of Marshal
Feng or some of his subordinates.
While none can be certain of the
value of the articles taken, it is
stated by experts that the boy en-
peror had treasures estimated at
$3.50, 10000 gold, and that almost all
of them disappeared.

DIES MONIES, July 27.-When
the congregation of the Urbandale
Community Church, near here,
settles into the pews Sunday morn
ing and the minister steps out to
conduct the services, it is a modern
coed, younger than most of them,
and CARRIED in the dress Of the up
to-date girl.
The pastor is Miss Markaret E.
Ross, 10, a student at Drake Uni
versity. Miss Ross took the church
for the summer. Whether she will
continue in the pulpit this fall is
undecided.
Wears Dresses Short
In appearance, Miss Ross would
be taken for any of her sister stu
dents. She wears modern short
skirts. She has clear gray eyes,
and her brown hair is modishly
bobbed.
Her charge at the Urbandale
Community Church was not her
first pulpit experience. Last fall
her brother, Leslie ]. Ross, sta
toned at her home in Prescott,
Iowa, became i'll and she filled his
pulpit for two weeks. Later she
conducted a revival.
Smoking No Sin
Miss Ross, in talking of her
church and the ministry, which she
expects to follow permanently when
she finishes college, is careful not
to touch with authority on matters
Of which she is not sure.
Smoking, Miss Ross, believes, is
not morally wrong for women, al
though she does not uphold the
practice.
Regarding prohibition, Miss Ross
is a firm believer in the worth Of
The Eighteenth Amendment.
