but we first attempted to reach the base
of the mountain from the west and
failed. Then by the time We had reached
the base from the south it was too late

point however, the approach to the
mountain looked impenetrable, but the
east and northwest slopes held out more
hope.

to discover a climbable Ridge, it will be

Located in Wilderness.
Since the year 1855. when W. A
Dickey, prospector, first sighted this
snow-capped peak, scientists and ex-
plorers have been untiring in their eff
forts to reach the summit In order to de-
termine its correct height, which is ESTE
mated at 2O,200 feet above the sea level.
The peculiar typographical conditions of
the surrounding country. however, have
caused the failure of the majority of
these. The mountain is located in the
center of the Alaska Wilderness and ex-
ploring parties desiring to reach the
base are compelled to travel at least $50
miles through an almost impossible
country. undergoing all sorts of hardships
and many dangers in crossing the swollen
streams and scaling the ice-clad slopes
Of the neighboring heights. BY the time
the party reaches the base of the noun
tain, the members are worn out, their
supplies are depleted, and they are unable
to begin the more formidable task of

ice from q distance of 14.000 feet. BY u.s.

The rules governing the national
matches are strict. One of them
prohibits coaching. Lieutenant
Coyle's exclamation was called to the
attention of Colonel II. *. Evans, Y.
:. A., executive officer of the nation
al matches. He held that it was Vi
olation of the rule against coaching
and penalized the marine corps by
eliminating their score made on the
skrmish.
The elimination of the marines
gave the cavalry second place. The
cavalry team, however believing
that an injustice had been done to
the marine corps team. filed a pro-
test with Acting Secretary of War

tional board for the promotion of
rifle practice. 1t was what might be
termed in court "a friendly suit"
The national board, in special ses-
sion. reversed the decision of the
executive officer and gave the ma
rine corps team second place. This
action eliminated the navy team
from the list of prize winners in
Glass A.
One of the reasons which actuated
the board in restoring the marine
corps to its proper place was the fact
that had it been left at the bottoin
of the list it would have been pitted
against the other teams in Glass c
at the next annual tournament
teams that it easily outranks. The
practical effect would be to deprive
these teams of any opportunity to
win the first prize in their class.

incidentally won for them the first
prize in Glass b, which is the time
honored Hilton trophy, together with
$3.50 in cash.

BOYS COMMIT MOST GRIMES
Of Robbery, Larceny and Burg
larry, According to Socialist
Orator-Crininologist

Women who heard Clarence Oar
row at the theatre Wednesday night,
learned something about the juvenile
problem which is engaging the at
tention of club women and reform
workers the country over and which
has been a topic for recent discus
sion here. Mr.. barrow is a lawyer
of fine Intelligence who has read
everything he could lay hands on
about crime and its causes and has
made a study along the same lines
for himself during his quarter of a
century of practice. He is best
known, perhaps, as a socialist, but
whether his listeners were for or
against prohibition, believers or scep-
teal of socialism, that his talk con-
tanned common sense and certain
fundamental truths was apparent
from the reception given it by an
audience ranging from the unshaven,
ul-clothed day laborcrs to the bank
ers.
JailS Built for the Poor.
The cause of crime, Mr.. barrow
says, is poverty. The jails are built
for the poor and filled with the poor
The rich men never get in. They al

where the rich men get into Jail, it

the poor man who hasn't the money

Man an Animal.
Mr.. Darrow's whole argument was
based on the belief that man is an
animal, subject to the laws which
prevail with other animals. The
prime fact with them is the food
supply. Nature spawns them out
more generously than is needed to
populate the world. Some are
marked out as degenerates or inef-
fectuals from the start. The fittest

persons born. One-half of the chill

years of age. Mr.. barrow, like

If you want to do away with crime,
he says, do away with the great mo-
nopolies which have fenced up the
whole earth, leaving to the poor
man only his two hands with which
to serve others, and the burden of
perpetuating the human race. 1t is
the poor man who has to have the
children, he says, since the rich
won't, though just why the poor
man should have any interest in the
preservation of the race under ex-
isting conditions he confesses it hard
to understand.
