 The reason like triplane is that it has a greater range of speed than biplane This range is important in expedition. The Wasp, for instance, varies between 5o and 162 miles in landing with the throttle open to the last notch.
 The base should be on the lee side of the mountain because in the unlikely event that the motor quit work one of the flights it would probably be possible to glide back to camp. plane will glide seven feet for every foot of height with a dead stick" that Is, propeller not pulling, and to this distance the wind will add much more.
 The first flight over the mountain would be purely for purposes of observation. No body knows much about Mount Everest, I understand, and photographs have been taken only from distance of almost hundred miles. The pilot and the observer, therefore, must look over the ground and take a few pictures themselves at close range. That height of 29, 14o feet, too, sounds sus- piciously accurate for figure derived from intricate triangulation at great distance, and some one may have slzidded in mathematics or observation. It may be appreciab1y high or lower.
 Other things which must be noted on this and subsequent flights the winds, their strength direction and variety the tempera- ture of the air at the altitude of the peak the<topography of the ground all around the mountain and, most important of all, the actual formation of the peak and the areas below the peak.
 The temperature isn't of as great irnpor- tance as the winds. We know it is cold up there. If it is anything like six miles up on Long Island it is fl degrees below zero, Fahrenheit This, even behind the windshield of a plane. is cold ~incomprehensibly cold. But it is merely one of the things that take this out of the easy class.
 I, must be thrown the mountain and on tho peak. if possible in order to get some idea of local wind currents. Let us hope, for req sons that appear later, that the prevailing wind at the summit Is heading somewhere at between fifty and one hundred and fifty miles an hour. Personally think the wind spec ] will be between fifty and one hundred miles At thirty thousand feet I have headed into wines of 175 miles hour. The altitude record made established forty miles east of Garden City, but was heading west ward at tcp speed all the cime The wind simply pushed me back. I don't expect such

the expedition is just starting For on that srot think it entirely possible to land from an airplane in full flight the man who is to havo the honor of reaching the highest point n the globe.
 Before l.le reader has time to conjure up tain peak from an airplane travelling 1o0 miles less would lookslke let me say that he will be alive uninjured but rapidly. freez- ing to death. Moreover, the man will have an even better chance of getting away than he had in getting there, which is all that could be expected by sportsman.
 Among the things that the world had carefully cata1ogued as impossible year or two ago changing from one plane in flight to another. Then Norman Locklear did it and the world hunted up something else to call impossible. The same principle Locklear employed can be used in this in stance. His two planes were each travelling sixty miles hour. But they were travel ling this speed in the same direction, so relatively they were not moving.
 The airpane from which the pioneer visi- tor to. Everest will descend will not be nov ing at all, yet its motor may be- roaring full on. For the plane will be heading into the wind at precisely the same speed at which the wind is shooting by it. In other words if the westerly movement of the wind is at the rate of seventy-f1ve miles hour the easterly speed of the plane will be seventy-f1ve miles an hour, and the result or motion in relation to the earth, will be zero.
 This may seem to be one of those condi- tons which are theoretically true but actu- ally impossible. It may be thought that it simply could not be done top of noun tain or anywhere else in real life. As a matter of fact, however, men have changed from airplanes to automobiles and to freight

ROLAND ROHLFS.

Roland Rohlfs, the writer of this ar ticle, IS one of the foremost aviators of America. What is not quite so generally known IS that not alone daring and en- durance but much hard thought and me- chanicaI genius went into the making of his worlds altitude record on September IS. 1919. when he reached height of 5s,45o feet. Tn the present article he works out roughly the manner in which. in his opinion. the summit of unattained Everest, highest of the Hin1aIayas and of the world, may be reached The r7oUn- tain lies between British India and Tibet.
 MT. Rohifs, who IS twenty-seYe7 years old and married, IS the son of Anna Kath- arine Green. the novelist, who IS Mrs. Charles Rohlfs in private life He has been flying for about four years. Until peace curtaifed the activities of the Cur tiss Company he was its chief pilot. The day after his altitude record he demon strated fast climbing by soaring 1e,soo feet Tn 9 minutes <s e-5 seconds, an upward dash Of g feet a second, in the same plane, Curtiss Wasp triplane. He has made other records Just before the recent Gordon Bennett cup race Tn France MT. Rohlfs was injured in at tempting to land a fast racing plane on a rough field in effort to reach the starting point in time to ger into t5e race. Tn his flight from one field to another he attained a speed of 195 miles an hour.
 Although he treats the feat of reaching the roof of the world inpersonsIy he has expressed the desire to try It him. self while aviation is dull and uninterest- ing during the postwar slump

cars and back again. In those cases it was the air that was stationary and the points of departure and arrival that were moving In this case it will be the plane and the air that are moving and the mountain which is still.
 Of course there are difficulties in the way The air may be so bunny rough that near the wind The pilot, meanwhile, will zoo:n upward and away from the mountain and start circling around.
 Once sure of his footing the man on the the mountain the plane will dance like a crazy thing. In this case the expedition Is off at least for that day. I believe. however. that day will come. perhaps after weeks or months of waiting, when the wind curren.s are blowing parallel to level spot in fairly smooth stream.
 The pilot will keep his most unwavering attention on the height of the plane above the landing place and its zero speed while his partner climbs down a weighted rope lad der suspended from the axle of the plane. He will be climbing in a wind blast of from fifty to a hundred miles hour, even more. He will be handicapped and numbe6 by the icy wind He must be carrying strapped to him not only small oxygen

terrific gales at Everest, for the reason that the friction of surrounding mountain tops even though at considerably lower attitudes, will cut down the rate.
 The two men who make the attempt must be closer than brothers for they aust, at the crucial moment in the expedition, act as one piece of machinery. They must of course be skilled airmen, a qualification not so unusual as before the war struck us and they must have had considerable experience al altitude work that they will be as much ar home physically in the air as is pos sible for men to be. That isn't very much a: home I may add. During the first flight, and during all the others, they must become accustomed to read the slightest sign or mo- ton of the other, must almost read the others mind. Conversation, with a four hundred horsepower motor roaring ahead and with wind carrying all utterances astern at 100 to 150 miles, is an impossible luxury six miles up. particularly since each mans face is covered by mask and he is pulling for dear life at tube connected with the lfe-giving oxygen tank. It is sign language or nothing.
 In these trial flights the men must study that great summit. It may be a mere pin racle, shaft of rock upheaved higher than all it's fellows in the birth of the world as we know it. It may be plateau hundreds of feet across. It may be rounded surface soping gradually to sleeper declines. But whatever the peak Is, it must be studied from every side as the plane circles around it. coming nearer and nearer, but keeping suffl- ciently far away to prevent a chance gust from dashing the plane upon it.
 If the summit is a steeple of rock for thousands of feet the expedition is throu gh If the summit has within hundreds of feet of 1t a comparatively level place the size of the top of freight car or larger

Roland Rohlfs Outlines Plan for Conquest of Mount Everest, Based on Scientific Data and His Own Expe- riences in Even Higher Attitudes

Man has reached the North Pole, man has reached the South Pole, man has braved ocean depths in diving devices and submarines, man has flown to alti- tudes far higher than the earth's loftiest peak. and across vast marine wastes. To set foot on the roof of the world, the crest of Mount Everest, is the one great feat of exploration remaining to be achieved, and this IS the goal in new and daring enterprise.

CurtiSS Wasp IripIane
 Might Accomplish the Task

The plane used by Major Schroeder and the plane I piloted in altitude climbs were not built for the work. Both were war models which had high speed and high climbing ability, but were not built for "ceil- ing" work alone Consequently think I am entirely safe in saying that it would be conn., paratively easy for a good engineer to build a plane which could carry two men. oxygen, and other supplies, to height of thirty thousand feet or instead of one man and accessories.

Reform league and local purity super.
intendent, then took charge of the
meeting. She presented to the union
five books which she asked the mem
bers to read. These teach the moth
ers how to explain delicate matters to
the children so that, as they grow up
to womanhood and manhood, they
may be safeguarded from the evils
and temptations of their young lives
The meeting was adjourned into

case started, the attorney for the de.
fendant agreed to let the decision in
his case stand in the other three
cases, and it was agreed to try only
the one case.
However, after Siegwart had been
found guilty and the fine of $500 i'm
posed, Mr.. KoOns, for the defense, re.
quested the court to grant the other
men hearings. The request was
granted, and the court set the date of
