BACK TO THE INQUISITION By Kirby BIG TIME IS TO BE HELD IN TWIN CITIES, WHEN SKANDS GATHER Minneapolis, June the Associated and song will vie--with speeches and exhibits in depicting the part played by Norwegians in the development of the northwest at the Norse-American Centennial celebration here, June 6 to 9. Much of the romance in the building of the northwestern section of the United States are chapters the history of the Norse-Americans in this country, for it is in this section a majority of the "hardy Norse" settled.

Interest will be added to the celebration by the presence of President and Mrs. Coolidge, and June 8 has been set aside as President's Day, when he will speak at 2 p. at the state fair grounds, where the celebration will be held. Balloon There. Promise of the presence of the giant dirigible Los Angeles for part of the celebration has provided another point of attraction for those who have never seen a dirigible.

But to the thousands of Norse- Americans born in Norway, or members of the early Norwegian colonies in the northwest, the celebration has its main attraction in the promise of a gigantic reunion, particularly in the conventions of "Bygdclags" on June 6. Thirty "Bygdelags" will hold their reunions on that day, each constituting dcscendcnts of a Norwegian community or clan, distinguished by a distinct dialect. These conventions are annual affairs in this country, and arc expected to attract 25,000 persons this year. In this group will be many de- sccndents of the original 53 immigrants who arrived in this country October 9, 1825, on the Norwegian sloop Rcstaurationcn, the first organized group of Norwegians to emigrate to America. It is in commemoration of the arrival of this now historic sloop that the celebration will be held, sponsored by Norse-American churches, colleges, associations and individuals, to enable a composite picture of what the Norseman has done in the settlement and growth of the northwest.

Girl Born. In the original group that boarded the sloop at Stavanger were 32 men, women and children, but before the voyage had been completed, the roster had increased by the birth of a girl, Margaret Allen Larsen Atwatcr. Participating in the- celebration here will be Mrs. Atwater's son, Rev. John Larsen Atwatcr of Chicago, a retired Baptist clergyman, now 73 years old, and Mrs.

Atwater's sister, Jane S. Atwater, for 50 years a teacher in the public schools of Chicago. Exhibits of the arts and the professions, contributed by Norse-Americans, will make an important part of the celebration, and on the closing night a pageant including 1,000 persons will picture the Americanization of the Norwegian. This pageant will center around Colonel Hans Heg of the Fifteenth Wisconsin Infantry, the all-Norse- regiment of the Civil war, which participated in 29 engagements before Heg was killed in the battle of Chickamauga. ENGLISH CLIMATE RAVAGES RECORDS OF OLD GREECE Oxford, May the Associated Press).

English damp and coal smoke, which have been so destructive of all ancient stone monuments and inscribed stones imported from Egypt, Asia Minor and the East, are gradually but surely defacing the fine Attic lettering of the Parian Chronicle, the key to the Greek Chronology. This block of white marble was sent up in the Island of Paros about 263 B. apparently by some private patron of poetry and the arts. The opening inscription, along with the lower' right hand corner, has "been chipped away and lost, but lines 46 to 93 which remain form a fairly complete chronological table of what the carver of this marble considered to be the chief events in Greek history between 1582 and 264 B. C.

is little mention of politics, war or conquests, but the dates of origin of the various styles of poetry, the results of the great poetical contests, and the important dates in the lives of great poets arc set out in detail. The Parian Chronicle now rests on an open shelf in the Oxford- university Museum. It was one of the purchases made 300 years ago by the agents whom Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundcl, sent into Greece and Italy to collect anything curious and valuable that remained of ancient art. It came to the university in 1667 as part of the bequest of the collector's grandson. SOCIAL AND OTHER LINES AIDED BY ROCKEFELLERS New York, May 31--(By Associated Press.)
