Declining the Vice Presidency.

hiidttSIpillo lCSS.
Some pretty big men have declined
the nomination for vice president. and
some Of them when an election was
reasonably assured. When Madison
was nominated for second term the
caucus by which the nomination was
madc-it was before the day Of ma
tional conventions-selected John
Landgon, then a Senator from New
Hampshire, for vice president and he
declined. New York itself can produce
a conspicuous precedent. Silas Wright,
then a senator from that State. was
nominated for vice president on the
ticket with James X. Polk in 1914, and
he declined in resentment Of the de-
feat Of Van Burcn for the presidential

orkman had held the record since

he west in the Karakoram branch
pf the Himalayas. Graham claimed
n 1883 to have reached 23,7oo feet

= by most mountaineers.
The fact that Kabru, though a
&ittle over 1000 feet high, is rank
ed only as No. 40 among the tallest
SUBMITS Of the Himalayas, gives an
impressive idea of these wonderful

persuaded to run for governor of New
York, but that practically ended his
political career. Benjamin Fitzpatrick,
a senator from Alabama, declined the
nomination for vice president on the
Douglas ticket in 1860.
There have been other similar
eases. but these are enough to show
that the nomination can be declined,
and many persons suspect that Gov.
Hughes IS just the person 10 decline

Women and Civic Duty.

Undoubtedly there are. none the less
many women who have never given
thought to any civic duty. Many III
teFli"ent women honestly disapprove
OF woman suffrage. Still other women
believe they are entitled to vote if
they wish. but can see under present
conditions only multiplicity Of vote,

vantage. All this apart from the

the greatest reform that can come TO

Can Eczema be cnred7
Some physicians say "Yes.'

The real question is, "Wnat is
meant by Eczema9" If you mean
those scaly eruptions, those diseases
whicn make their first appearance, not
at birth, but years afterward, and
perhaps not until middle age--then
there can no longer be any question
that these forms Of Eczema are cura-
bic.
Simple vegetable oil of wintcrgreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingredi-
ents. will kill the germs that infest
the skin. Apply this prescription to
the skin. and instantly that awful
itch is gone. The very moment the
liquid is applied, that agonizing, tan
taGzing itch disappears, and continu-
ed applications Of this external rcme-
dy soon cure the disease.

cases Of skin trouble which arc IN

then came the perils of smooth ice
on the stcepest Of slopes and of rock
and ice avalanches from far above
that test the mcttle OF the best
men.
For five days they were cutting,
steps in the solid ice amid chaos
of ice needles and crevasses in a
frozen world Of the most fantastic
forms. Every danger Of climbing
IN the Alps and Caucasus is intcnsi-
ned in these upper reaches of the
fiimalayan SUBMITS, but the cx-
plorcrs have nothing save praise
Tor their coolies, who proved after
a short training in the use of the
ice axe and rope to be keen and
effective mountainccrs.
Half way up this ice slope they
found a flat bit of ground where
they pitched camp and rested two
days. They were now 2l,5oo feet
above sea level.
The ice wall to their left. from
200 to 500 feet above them, fire.
qucntly dropped huge ice bolcks,
and this danger required constant
vigilance. Great banks OF cloud uS,l-
ally barred the scene below them.
though sometimes they caught
views OF Dariccling, some fifty
miles to the southwest.
They were two days making the
next 500 feet of ascent. and at 22.-
900 feet all but the two best coolies
were sent back to the lower camp.
The four men in advance passed 4
miserable night huddlcd in their
little tent with the temperature over
20 degrees below Fahrenheit.
On October 20 they started on
the final attempt to reach the slln,-

by high wind and progress was
slow for every step had to be cut
in the frozen snow and often they
had to stop to look after their feet.
which threatened to freeze. They
dropped their only watch early in
the day and it went skimmirg down
and over the prccipiccs.
Upward they struggled until
about 6 p. m. they think. when they
reached place which they thought
was the top Of Kabru. But here they
found a ridge. perhaps less than 100
feet above them. which they are
positive is the eliminating summit
of the mountain.
The sun had set. the task ahead
Of them was difficult and dangerous
and they dared not go on. TO spend
the night at the summit would mean
death, for the cold was almost I'M
bcarablc and they must retreat at
once to camp below.
The moon soon rose and with its
aid they made their way safely
down, though not without one thrill
ling moment. Rubenson slipped on
a very steep slope and flashed past
his friend like a shot. Monrad-Aas
threw himself flat to support the
strain on the rope. He saved his
comradc and himself. but four OF
the five strands of the Swiss tourist
rope parted and Rubcnson was held
by a single strand.
Because it was a great achieve
mcnt ii is all the more to be regret
cd that impcdimcnts. chiefly bitter
cold of the last day prevented these
mountainccrS from completing the
ascent when they were So near their
goal.
