Cynicism born of a lifetime Of
establishment whispers probably
not, but it is on the cards that be-
fore he has a chance to find out
many experiences are in store for
him.
For not without reason has
Mount Everest been known through
out the generations as the uncon-
quered mountain. Not without justi-
tication are its clear heights still
unsullied by mortal presence, and
not without cause have the adven-
turers Of the earth paused in dis
may before it.
Tibet, through which the expedi-
ton doubtless will proceed on it's
way to the mountain, is familiar
ground to Sir Francis. In 1904 he
led a force against Lhasa, its chief
metropolis, and was the first white
man in years to enter the Forbid
den City
Lhasa is about 28O miles northeast
Of Mount Everest, and if the ex-
pedition starts there, as is likely,
will offer the climbers a sharp pic
ture of contrasts. Slnelasd for gen.
erations from intidcl eyes, it is q
remarkable relic Of the Middle Ages.
A Land of Lamas
On a hill is the palace in which
dwells the Dalai Lama, vicar on
earth of the great Buddha, and in
the square below the cathedral of
10 Kang, where incense to the Holy
One always is rising. Tibet is a
country Of lamas, and everywhere
the roads are filled with pilgrims
coming from Bhota, Ncpal, Ladakis,
remote sections Of China, India and
Sikkim, to pay their devotions to the
Peerless Teacher.
The lamas are faithful to the de-
talls af Kipline's creation, even

A Drop Into Nothing

ga drop into nothing beneath you,
as straight as beggar can spit"
Much straighter, it seems to US. A
rock gives way and we hear it crash
ing to the glacier far below. We
begin to have more and more re-
spect for this undertaking, and prob
ably as much to still the pounding of
our hearts as anything else, we
pause for moment to look over
the landscape and to take stock of
our condition.
Our party is made up of several
experienced climbers and party of
native coolies, acting as bearers.
These coolies have to be watched, be-
cause to them these rocks are sacred,
Sliding powerful spirits liable to be-
come offended over this invasion of
unbelievers. At any time the crashing
OF bowlder may be interpreted by
the bearers as a sign of divine dis
pleasure, whereupon they will throw
their burdens upon the snow and
leave the expedition to it's fate.
But the view takes possession of
our consciences and makes us forget
for the moment these minor con-
siderations.

Mount Everest has been seen by
Sir Francis only from distance,
but there is information enough on
hand to give fairly comprehensive
picture of what he will find there.
Seventy miles southeast of Mount
Everest is Kabru, 24,015 feet high,
which was scaled by w. w. Graham,
an Englishman, and two Swiss
guides in 1888.
Graham wildly described the
country, which is similar to that OF
Mount Everest, and though ii is
playing a mean trick on Sir Francis
to beat him by several months to
his destination, faithful forecast

tieth year, and for a man of his age
to undertake such an achievement
is in itself worthy of commemora-
ton, if not of exploitation, for the
encouragement Of our faint hearted
brethren who believe that forty or
fifty is the furthermost limit of
human initiative.
In the higher regions of the
earth's surface are many dangers.
One must have a good pair of lungs
and youthful spirit if not youth

lanches occur, and degree Of agil-
ity sufficient to avoid the laundering
millions of tons of ice and SOW is a
desirable virtue.

goods from strange parts of the
world.
A few weeks ago j. Farley,
British government official in India,
was received in audience by the
Dalai Lama-he was the first Euro
pean to experience this honor since
1911 and the first Englishman to
enter Lhasa since 1904-and he
brought back some striking accounts
Of his impressions.
If Sir Francis decides to approach
Mount Everest from Lhasa he will
have to cross the Brahmaputra
River and skirt at least some of the
10000 peaks which make up the
Himalaya group. He may, on the
other hand, decide to make the start
from Katmandu, the capital of
Nepal, which, while not so important
as Lhasa, is only 11O miles from
Mount Everest and has been the
gateway for many exploring expe-
ditions.
But whether the start is made
from one place or the other, the
supreme trials awaiting the adven-
turers are inescapable.
Mount Everest, it must be under
stood, not only never has been
touched by the foot of white man
ESQ far as history knows), but has
only been seen by others than ma
tives from distance. Sir George
Everest, after whom it is named,
estimated its height at 29,OO2 feet
by trigonometrical calculations, and
he only managed to do this by tele-
scopic observations. Recently his
computations have been brought
into question, and scientists now
say the height of Everest is at least
29,141 feet, or more than five and
one-half miles.

The instruments show an altitude
of $4,000 feet (taking for comparl-
son the height actually attained BY
Graham in the climb up Kabn)

faster than two steps a minute.

The air was a barrier for a time

and not long since man hurled him

ages.
The Next Coal
Now, temporarily out Of sensa-
tions, he is casting his eyes eagerly
toward another last goal left un-
conquered-and fervently hoping it
will not prove too easy of achieve
ment.
Do you remember the Lama of
Tibet, with whom Kim journeyed to
acquire merit? The Holy One, whose
face was yellow and wrinkled like
that Of Fook Shing, the Chinaman?
Who came from beyond the Kailas,
where the air and the water are
fresh and cold, and carried a wooden
begging bowl as his conlmissary on
the way to the River of the Arrow?
1t is on the border of his land, in
Tibet, that this last adventure
against the worlds final barrier is

Tibet is in itself a strange coun-
Try. 1t is in the southern part Of
China, separated from India by a
narrow strip of buffer states, of
which Nepal is one. Extending
through this state Of Nepal, like al
army of giants drawn up, in semi
circular formation to guard Briton' g
most famous colony from Asiatic
hordes, are those towering wonders
of the earth known as the Hima-
layas, and in their midst the most
awe-inspiring marvel of them all
Mount Everest
The Most Terrible Mountain
It is this Mount Everest, the high
est, most remote and most terrible
mountain in the world, that Sir
Francis Younghusband, the British
soldier and explorer, has announced
his intention to scale, probably some
time next May.
1t has always been mans practice,
when not otherwise engaged, to cast
his eyes toward the eternal hills, and
as to this there is legend the au-
thenticity Of which must be left to
the readers judgment. 1t is that the
gods dwell in the mountains and
that man, being jealous, is always
pursuing them. But the gods, un-
willing to mix with these human up
starts, constantly are retreating into
snore and more remote fastnesses.
First they dwelt on high Olympus.
fleeing from which they sought
sanctuary in the Mountains Of the
Aoon In Africa. Routed from there
ny intrepid explorers, Of which the
Duke Of the Abruzzi was one, they
returned to the fastness in the birth
place OF the human race and are
now said to be somewhere in the
ranges extending from the Puniab
10 Burma.
What Will He Find?

of his impressions is not impossible.
The swampy valleys between the
Himalayan giants have dropped
away, and with them the multi-col-
ored ferment Of human life crowd
ing them. 1t may strike some as
odd that this advance against the
worlds last unconquered barrier
should take place in what is prob
ably the oldest quarter Of the globe,
but we have but little time to pause
upon this reflection. The going is
hard and grows constantly more so
as we progress.
Into a Silent Land
Between Darjeeling and Kabru
rises Jabonu, another of the Hima-
laya group, thrusting it's snow
topped crest 81 400 feet into the air.
A great silence falls as we advance.
The sentinel peaks, leveled in long
perspective, rise to ever-increasing
heights, and with each foot of prog
ress there is a consequent shrink

able majesty Of these hills has a
dwarfing effect on human optimism

The choice OF fabrics for gowns Is
also very important when a slender
appearance Is desired. There are GER
tain materials and colors that have Il
tendency TO magnify the figure, while
others have the opposite effect. Rough
surfaces should be avoided by large
women. Brilliant colors can be used
successfully only In very small touches.
Certain colors are generally known to
apparently diminish size. among them
being black, navy blue and all the eX-
tremely dark shades. while white and
the light colors are apt to be eX-
pansive.
Stripes cut of the width and empha-

dress designs long ones should be cul
tivated, "a they break up the width

drab tones and dull blacks that sug-
