Roof Of The World''
 Never Sealed By Man

New TeFk-Mt. Everest, the Him. aiayaa peak called the roof of the world" which Sir Francis Younghus- band: the British soldier-explorer, will attempt to climb next summer, has never yet been sealed by man.

3O,OOO Chinese
 Wait For Food
 Starve To Death

New York.-Thirty thousand Chi nese gathered on a great bare field outside Tientsin, China,- waited pa tiently for food which never arrived and then slowly died there. E. s. Glines, American Engineer, reported upon his arrival here after passing six months in the famine stricken areas of North China
 The condition of the starving hordes was so pitiful, MT. Glines said. that he 'tdid not have the heart to take photographs of such misery. He said that the crowd at Tientsin had gathered because they believed food would reach them there more quickly than in the country. Along a roadside near the field, he told of seeing the bodies of whole family father, mother and five children. each a few yards apart, where they had dropped and died.
 '-The crop failures have been all most complete in the five great prov Shainsi, Shenst and Honan," said Mir. of China proper-Chihli. Shsntung, Glines. ''This is the part of the country around Pekins:. south of Mongolia and Manchuria."
 Explaining why the sections of China not stricken by famine were unable to relieve the starvation dis tricts. MT. Glines said: China is largely an agricultural nation. Ninety per cent. of the population lives on the tiny farms into which the coun- try is divided The Chinese work their land to the limit but they can not raise more than enough to feed themselves. Each district can raise barely enough food to support its own people. That is why the pros porous provinces have been able to do so little for the famine-stricken ones. They have not the food to send.
 ''The crops in North China have failed since 1919. The people have been unable to get more than scraps They have been unable to get much from outside because food has been high priced all over the world. They have tried to move to better districts where they could raise crops but such districts are so far and they have had such poor resources that they have died like flies on the way. Ahan 10,000,000 Chinese will starve to death this winter and spring un- less food is rushed to them." He declared that millions will die de- spite aid that the population of 45.- 00O.000 in the famine districts is in such dire straits that it will be a physical impossibiltty to rush enough food to them to save all.
 Great irrigation projects, control of flood producing streams, and i'm provement of transportation were cited by MT. Glines as the only sal vatton of the agricultural and eco homie life of China.
 Those things will be done in time," he said, s+for China is awake. Ameri ca will probably have a big part in this future of China, but we must lay aside these things for the present and devote every effort to getting food to the starving millions"

highest peaks in Asia and South America
 Mrs. Workman in 1893, 1903 and 1908 made aseents in the HimaIays including one of ths Nun Kun peaks, whose summit is -a9, ,so6 feet high, or more than half Q mile above the apex of that forbidding sentinel of the Alaskan sileHees, Nit, Mckinley. Miss Peck in 1908 negotiated the top of Mt. Huasearan in the Peruvian Andes, a height of 1,s12 feet and three years later she climbed the two peaks of the volcano Coroppna.
