CELEBRATES FEAT OF

100000 HAVE ASCENDED TO

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col.-One
hundred years ago today DR.. Frank
James astonished the world by climb,
ing to the top of Pixies Peak, 14,109
feet above the sea. Since that time
100000 persons have made the trip,
and today Colorado Springs is cele-
brating the anniversary with ceremo-

summit.
Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike is cred
tied with the discovery of the noun
tain in 1906. AS hardy pioneer as
was the discoverer, he declared the
peak was inaccessible, and none dared
to doubt it until July ID, 1920, when
DIR. James, a member of the Major
Long expedition, succeeded in the at
tempt.
Major Long christened the noun
tain James Peak, but the pioneers and
plainsmen persisted in giving it the
name of its discoverer, and Pixies

DOCTOR PERFORMS
MIRACLE, ALMOST
AT JOHNS HOPKINS
OPERATES ON INNERMOSI
PART OF HUMAN BRAIN.

BALTIMORE, Md.-Dr. Walter +.
Dandy, young surgeon OF Johns Hop.
kins Hospital, has planted the Tag OF
American achievement in the center OF
the human brain!
The brain, center of human activity
and the most delicate and sensitive
organ of the body, has presented sci
ence with the most battling problems
in the past. Ordinary brain opera
tions have been made simple but to
reach the very center of the mass, the
third ventrice, without killing the pa
tient was impossible until DIR. Dandy,
after three years experiment on low
err animals-monkeys mostly-found
the way.
What does it mean?
1t means that epileptics can be cur
ed and that many an insane man may
be brought back from the asylum. 1t
means that paralytics can be given the
use of their bodies.
These ills are often the cause of
brain tumors or splits" DIR. Dandy
lays open the way for removal or cure.
He has successfully operated upon
the brains of men and recently re-
moved tumor from the third ventri-
Gle which restored the speech of a
dumb man.
The operation is made in three
stages, so that the patient will not be
killed by the sudden shock of laying
bare the twists and turns of his gray
matter"
Skull Is Opened.
First the skull must be opened. The
bone is bored through with "trepan-
ming" instruments and then the "wa
ter" in which the brain rests is with
drawn to release the pressure that
might damage the brain. 1t is deli
cate job to tie or "ligate" the blood
vessels to prevent hemorrhage or un-
due bleeding.
The second stage finds the sur
geon's knife through the corpus cal
losum" or Large body" which con-
meets the two parts of the brain. That
in itself is a difficult task.
The third and final operation is the
the removal of the obstructing tumor.
The great obstacle to the operation
in the past was the treatment of the
brain, accustomed to rest in its fluid,
when that fluid was withdrawn, the
slightest damage resulted in paralysis
or death of the patient.
DR.. Dandy solved the problem by
boring one or more holes in the base
of the skull through which purified
air is pumped into the brain channels.

most famous spot of the Rockies has
been that of the development of high
way transportation. First came a
bride path, in 1878; two years later a
wagon road was built, and in 1881 a
cogwheel railroad was constructed.
With the development of the auto
mobile industry came the demand for
a motor road, and in 1916 the present
motor highway, winding around the
mountain in devious curves, with pre-
cipitous rock walls flush against the
road on the one hand and deep ravlnes
ON the other, was completed at cost
of 100000. 1t has an average grade
of 7 per cent and maximum OF lO1s
per cent. 1t was twenty feet wide eX
cent at the curves, which were extend
ed to fifty feet for the greater safety
of the motorist.
Pixies Peak is eight miles in an ar
line from Colorado Springs and the
greater part of the mountain IS con-
trolled by Colorado Springs to safe
guard the city's water supply.
In April, 1918, a government war
tank attempted to climb the peak, but
was blocked by snowdrifts. A month
later a caterpillar tractor made the
ascent.
Walking races, burro races, motor
cycle and automobile races have been
held on Pixies Peak. The first ar:
plane to cross the peak was flown over
the mountain on August 3, 1919, pilot
ed by Alexander Lendrum, of Colorado

Clubs Percentage for 81 Days viii

Clubs Percentage for 81 Days Will
Be Close to $25O,O0O.
LATONIA, Ky.-The season of
racing at this point has been keenly
remarkable for the overwhelming
amount of money waged through the
pari-mutual betting machines. 1t was
estimated that up to July 7 upwards
of 100000 passed through the
French devices installed at the track.
Of this vast amount the association
has legal right to 5 per cent. This,
augmented by the odd chance
known in racing parlance as the
breaks, tickets lost or destroyed,
initiates the rake-off to something
more than z per cent.
The largest days business was, Of
course, Derby day, when something
over $925,000 was handled, with
easily 500, 900 shut out by betters

cumulate close to $250,000.

Both Governments Are Silent
as to the Reason.
LONDON-An article in the Daily
News by C. Douglas Stephenson says:
"Since the armistice the American
government has shipped to America
thousands of pounds worth of guns
and ammunition which it purchased
from the British government. The
American government is at present
shipping to America from England
complete batteries of eight-inch how
tiers, six-inch guns and sixty-pound-
ers. There are 100 complete bat
teries of special British make yet to
be shipped
''But the guns are of very little use
without ammunition. The American
government has therefore shipped to
America shells of special British
make. In the past six months alone
the American government has ship
ped from England at least 5000 tons
of explosives.
Gust what America wants with
these guns and this ammunition is
difficult to find out. The American
embassy, the American military at
tache and the American liquidation
board in London are not prepared to
make a statement unless instructed
to do so by the state department at
Washington"
