"Obregon's History of the 10th Cen
fury Explorations in Western Amer
lea" which is a translation of the
Chronicle of Baltasar de Obregon
written in Mexico in 1854 and pre-
scented to King FLIP II of Spain. DR.
Hammond discovered the manuscript
of this work in a library in Seville
Spain, where he spent year in his
torical research work. This particu-
lar manuscript had been completely
forgotten in the royal archives-until
a Danish-American historian discov-
cred it. He has now translated, ed
tied and annotated the old chronicle
For Those Who Left Home.
Last Sunday-October 7th-mini-
sters in most of the churches of Nor
way included in their prayer from
the pulpit special prayer for emf
grated Norwegians; this was intended
as preliminary to the celebration
of the Left Erickson day which the
Norsemen's League is making an eff
fort to have observed regularly every
year on October 9th. No knowledge
has been preserved of the date on
which Left set foot on American con-
tinent, so October 9th was arbitrarily
selected because it was on that date
in 1925 that the first organized group
of Norwegian emigrants arrived in the
United States
Twenty Fifth Anniversary.
John w. Hertz, head of the Chicago
bureau of the Illinois division of in
come tax, last week celebrated his
twenty-fifth anniversary as a state
official. He is a native of Denmark
and came to Chicago in 1887, having
made his home there ever since. Mr..
Hertz is a younger. brother of the
late Henry L. Hertz, at one time fed
eral internal revenue collector for
Cook county, Ill. He is said to be
equally popular among his fellow
office holders and his numerous COM
patriots in the Windy City.
Brefstein Coming.
A Norwegian actor, Rasmus Brei-
stein, who toured this country with
"a film version of a story by Kristoffer
Jansson few years ago, has re-
turned for another tour of the Nor
wegian settlements in the United
States. This time he presents new
film play, entitled, "Brudefarden i
Hardanger" (The Bridal Fete of Har-
danger'O, which has been enthusi-
astically received in Norway as we'll
as in other European countries. Mr..
Breistein is an ardent champion of
the "LandsmaaP' movement-that is
the agitation aiming at establishing
distinct Norwegian language to re-
place that of the official Dano-Nor-
wegian tongue.

have recently been organized in {
number of large cities, notably il
New York, Chicago, Worcester, Mass.
Philadelphia, etc. In other cities the
Swedish-born voters have sought CO.
operation with Danish and Norwegian
groups with the result that Scandi-
navian political clubs have been
formed. Opinion as to the justifica-
ton of such movements seems to be
somewhat divided as several citizens
feel that it is not necessary to organ
ize voters according to original ma
tionality. Others, however, differ
from this view.
Adult Education.
A report of the current issue of
"Ungdom" says that the recent at
tempt to conduct an American folk
high school along the lines of the
Danish folk-high school, at Grant
(Ashland), Mich, has met with such
signal success that it will be repeated
next year, and probably will extend
over period of eight instead of, this
year, six weeks. DR.. John E. Kirk
patrick of Olivet, Mich, who con-
Quoted the school this year, is expect
ed to be in charge next year, also.
Generally, as may be surmised from
brief reports in educational periodic
ais, this novel experiment in adult
American education has attracted
considerable attention
Many Museum Articles.
A new consignment of museum ar
ticles, donations from Norwegian
museums to the Norse-American pio-
neer museum at DEBORAH, Iowa, has
been received in New York and will
now be forwarded to its destination.
There are sixteen large cases contain
ing profuse variety of character
istic furniture and other objects,
mostly duplicates of articles which
the donors already have in their pos
session. The gifts have come from
museums in all parts of Norway, and
Norsemen's League of Oslo has been
instrumental in getting them together
as well as in shipping them.

arguments of the vets who blame pro

left in the country from the saloon

pie of America who this year pledged
themselves to total abstinence, in
answer to the charge of prohibition
causing young people to drink.
After the actresses of welcome were
given and responded to, Mrs. Sizer
gave her annual address. She made
strong plea for Governor Smiths
defeat for President and urged the
election of Herbert Hoover. She
said in part:
mo member of the Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union is justified in
giving her efforts and influence to

"The conflict in which we are now
taking our stand, centering in the
coming general election, is greater
than the wet and dry question, great
er than upholding the mighty moral
bulwark of the nation, the Eighteenth
amendment, greater than the referen-

ed. "The issue is, shall the greatest

it be defeated by the followers of a
candidate for president who wants to

blow off the foam?'
Governor Smith is not represent

tinued, declaring that he was "a law
unto himself, who has repudiated the
platform upon which he was nomi-
mated and represents the Tammany
wing. He is the product of the street

condemn him as an aspirant for the

cessional consisting of the state Off
GERS, guests of honor, and district
, presidents, all gowned in white, and
the speakers on the evenings pro-

come were now given.-For the city,
Mayor S. II. Snively of Duluth;
for the schools, Leonard Young,

T. u, Mrs. E. Mabel Thomas, presi-
dent. Mrs. Thomas in her address
of welcome, praised E. H. Barber,
chief of police, and Clarence w. Will
liams, head of the Duluth federal
prohibition offices for their efforts
in stopping the liquor traffic in Du-
luth and northern Minnesota. Watson
S. Moore in his address attacked Gov
ernor Smith because of his views on
prohibition, and praised Herbert
Hoover, declaring him to be a real
dry leader. He said that Hoover OBJ
serves the Eighteenth amendment to-
day as he will enforce the law if
elected president. All of the speakers
called upon to welcome the w. c. T..
u spoke largely on the work of the
organization and the enforcement of
the Eighteenth amendment. Mrs.
Bessie Lathe ScOvell, state vice-pres-
ident, gave the response to the ad-
dresses of welcome. After acknow-
Lodging the welcomes, she said: ITO
me, personally, this is home coming.
A triumphant Homecoming for the
cause for which 1 left this beloved
city almost third of a century ago,
to join the womanhood of this state
and nation in this peaceful war for
total abstinence and the outlawing
of the liquor traffic. l did not then
expect the liquor traffic would be out
lawed in my lifetime. 1 left 80 Ii
censed saloons in this city 80 years
ago. From Fifth ave. w on Superior
street, the section called the bowery,
the drunkenness, the street .brawls
the ribaldry, the filth made it unsafe
for a woman to walk in that section.
Thank God for the heroic work of the
Christian men and women of the
city, these things have disappeared
and therefore it is triumph for the
progress of Christianity, for decency,
for the progress of civilization to
come back to a cleaner, safer city In
which children may grow to maturity
without ever seeing licensed saloon
or an open house of shame.

liquor traffic outlawed-the greatest

HEENEY'S MANAGERS ROW:
OPEN BREAK NOW FEARED

managerial dissension that may become
an open break at any time unless his
American and English managers decide
to patch up their differences. The fric-
ton Is between Charley Harvey,
Heeney'S American business representa-
tive, and John Mortimer, brother of
Bernard Mortimer Of London, who
holds q five-year contract for Heeney's
services expiring In July, 1929.
The contract between Harvey and the
Mortimers Is reported to be equitable,
but there have been sharp controversies
over details which have smouldered
until 1t appears that the least wind Of
argument may make them take fare
The issue, apparently, is the present
financial arrangements and the future
services Of Heeney. Harvey's contract
has another year to run and he hopes
eventually to obtain exclusive manager
ship of the New Zealander's services
He feels that he has been largely re-
sponsible for Heeney's successes In his
ring engagements In this country.
As far as can be discovered, Heeney
at present does not seem to be affected
by the threatened managerial row. He
is steering q middle course between the
two factions, Flooding along with only
the thought Of getting himself ready for
Tunney. He Is doing his own thinking
and telling nobody what is on his mind.
He takes commands from Jimmy Hen
nessey. his trainer, and ''yesses" Harvey
and Mortimer.
The present plans provide for Hen
nessey, Charley Harvey and his brother,
Eddie. TO have charge of Heeney's
corner on the night Of the tight.

FAIR HAVEN, N. j., July 16.-This
is Tom Heeney's day of rest, his last
before engaging Gene Tunney, for the
world heavyweight championship in
the Yankee Stadium week from
Thursday night. The sturdy New Zea-
lander, after working an equivalent Of
nine rounds last night, will pick UP
his training tomorrow night and carry
through until the finish without any
further lay-offs.
When Heeney resumes boxing he may
have the opportunity Of trading punches
with Mickey Walker, middleweight
champion. Walker watched the ctal-
lenger In action last night and seemed
to feel the urge of scranbling into the
ring with him. He made no definite
promise. however, but said he would
like to work out at least a couple Of
rounds. He may box tomorrow.
The middleweight title holder was inn
pressed with Heeney's workout and pre-
dicted that the invader would give
Tllnney dangerous competition.
f''Heeney looks like he is In condi-
ton and will give Tunney plenty Of
trouble if the contest ever passes the
tenth round" Walker said He can
take lot Of punishment and keep on
going forward in face Of heavy Smelling.
