Ancient Viking Fortress Is Discovered in Sweden
Stockholm, the headquarters of powerful Viking fortress, the headquarters of a northern chieftain of at least 1300 years ago, was uncovered and identified near the city of Norrland in the archaeologists, Dr. Arthur Norden and C. N. D. Eduland. Since the name of the place, "Ringisnd" is identical with one mentioned in the Icelandic Edda, or collection of histories, from the helge Horga Hundgäsbane, this may have been the seat of one of the mightiest of Vikings. The location at the head of the Bravall Bay is of obvious strategic importance, and many monuments and palaces, have been traced in several directions.
A survey of the public service in situations in Tuscan is being made by the class in educational sociology or the University of Arizona.

Biochemists Remove Bad Taste of Cod Liver Oi
The success of Doctors Dubin and Funk provides a convenient starting point for the actual chemical isolation and identification of vitamins, because it takes several thousand times as strong in vitamin content as the original oil.
New York, Oct. 27, 1935–Drs. Harry E. Dubin and Casimir Funk, biochemists, have at last succeeded in taking the bad taste of cod liver oil to its full extent. They discovered the discovery of vitamins a decade or so age, no one but grandmother knew why cod liver oil was so good for childish alimentals, and she just knew. When it was found that this vitamin was present as a source of two vitamins, one preventing rickets in children and the other wandering off a serious eye disease that results in blindness, efforts have been made to prevent the effect of it that would be easy to take.
Omana, Oct. 27—The Federal grand jury sitting here wants to know whether the Prohibition law was violated at any time during the course of the American Legion convention held here recently. The jury has started a search for evidence by calling on dry agents.
The problem of making vitamin extracts or of preserving vitamins under artificial conditions has always been a difficult one, because those unknown substances are very easily destroyed.
Painleve Cabinet Dissolves, Ending Fight on Minister
Failure in American Deb Settlement Unseats President and
Paris, France, Oct. 27.—The Painville Cabinet resigned collectively today and President Duermeur accepted the resignation.
(United Penal)
This dramatic step ended a fight to shut Finance Minister Caileanx out of the cabinet and into political obscurity.
His return from America without a definite debt settlement and his unwillingness to try the capital levy to meet pressing financial needs of France, unseated him. As he would not retire alone, the president of Nassau took the resignation to the president who quickly accepted it.
The Cabinet explained its stop with a statement that it required the certainty of a stable majority in Parliament in order to carry out its program. This majority manifestly would be lacking under Cailleau's financial program and would have been taken as pointing directly at Cailleau, and the reason for seeking this solution of the government crisis.

Grainger Will Give Varied Program in Recital Wednesday
Pianist Will Include a Few Selections of His Own Composition in Recital
Percy Grainger, in his recital in Robinson gymnasium at 8:20 Wednesday evening, will present a program of interest to both the musician and the bayman of music, according to Dean D. M. Swartwhatch. The composers represented range from Bach with his contrapuntal style to Debussy, a modern composer. Chippeau, whose name appears on practically every recital, recitats, Herman Albenia, and two French composers, Ravel and Galileo Faure, are the other composers who are represented.
Grainier plays only one of his own composition on the regular program, which is an arrangement of a song by Faure. However, he uses the same material and technique in his audiences a chance to indicate how many of his compositions they wish to hear
Grainier believes the life of a nation determines the art of a nation. "Art is the life of the people in whose country it is produced," he says, and "nature determines what the people determines, to a great extent what their art will be like."
The folk-songs of one people are much the same as those of another according to Granger. "Nevertheless," he says, "the difference in the national life of different countries determines the musical differences between the folk-songs of the cultures that can even be made in the field of modern music, an example of which is the vast difference between Delossey, the French composer, and the Italian Pucini." One of Granger's sources of popularity has been his arrangements of folk-songs. The audience tomorrow will probably be able to hear these played by the comper in his encounters.
The program for the concert is as follows:
Partita, No. 1, II fini supper
Pachelbel, Allegro, Sarabande, Minuto
b and II, H Glory.
