Furthermore, they ask, II such excursions took

at that conclusion.
1t is true that Saint Bartholomew who
famed for his missionary zeal was made Arch
bishop of Nakschiwan by Pope John XXI in the
early 1300s. He spent the early part of his life
wandering from country to country, and it is
possible that he may have made trip to South

In fact the whole Lake Titicaca region of
Bolivia abounds with stories about bearded men
who occupied some of the islands in the earliest
times and were eventually killed by the natives.
IN THE Isla del Sol in Lake Titicaca there has
who came from the coast of the Pacific and took
the name of "Inga." He built the palace of
Pilko-Kain and other buildings. The ruins of
of the structure, obviously in European
style can still be seen.
OF course the earliest recorded visit to the
Americas was made in the year 1000 by Left
Ericsson who sailed from Greenland and landed in
a pleasant and well-wooded country which he
called Vinland because of its abundance of grapes.
Other explorers from Greenland followed him
under the guidance of Thorfinn Karlsefni and
similar leaders.
Actually, the voyages to Vinland, which con-
tnued apparently as late as the 14th century,
were made mainly for timber. Europe knew about
the excursions TO these distant shores but was
not particularly interested.

explorer who sailed westward into the Atlantic
in 1895, tells of land called Estotiland, where
the people built small boats and traded with
Greenland. Further south region called

'SECRETS0F C0-ED' THRILLING FEATURE,
 10TH CENTURY BILL

Getting entirely away from the fluffy type of the usual story of the college campus, here is heart warming drama that is replete with dramatic and moving situations, Secrets of A Coed, opening to- night at the goth Century. It fea- lures Tina Thayer and the unique story reveals tte young co-eds sec ret romance with gangster.
 Otto Kruger lends the weight of his superb acting to the part of a criminal attorney, father of Miss Thayer. Unknown to his daughter and the world, he is the secret boss of the underworld His front man and a dangerous killer is Rick Vallin, handsome young Lothario with yen for new faces-if they are pretty,
 He meets Tina, and she falls over whelmingly in love with him. To the gangster here is a new thrill romancing with a girl from the ups per crust.
 When he discovers that she is the daughter of his boss, he realizes what an advantage he has over the criminal attorney especially when the chief starts to discipline him for killing and he doesn't like it.
 From this point onward to the nerve-tingling climax, events move with dramatic force. They culmin- ate in the murder trial of Miss Thay- CT on circumstantial evidence, for the killing of Rick Vallin. Her at torney is her own father, who gives one of the greatest courtroom speeches ever heard on the screen as he pleads to save his child's life.
