name IN honor Of Sir George Everest, the eminent
geodesist who established the Indian Survey,
plorers the world over have felt the lure Of this
adventure.
The Royal Geographical Society first made
plans for the ascent of Mt Everest thirty years
ago. They we're Immediately blocked in their
preliminary work by the lack of accurate maps
The Indian Survey couldn't do the necessary work
because the only approach to the mountains
through Nepal on the south side Of Tibet on the
north. The Naharajahs of Nepal have consist
entity refused to allow Europeans to enter their
country for any purpose. and Tibet was at that
time, and is even now to a large extent. for
hidden land
Several years ago, however, Sir Francis
Younghusband, president of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society. led party into Tibet and became
quainted with the ruling sacsrdotal caste. Evil
IDENTIFY this was an entering wedge, for permits.
sion was this year granted by the Dalai Lama at
Lhasa In Tibet for British party to enter the
country.
But the clearing away Of political obstacles
did not make the engineering difficulties any
less. Although it Is agreed that tho northern APP
proach-that is through Tibet-ofers the great
est possibility of because of the fact that
the mountain Is said to be far too precipitats on
its southern slopes, nothing whatever is known of
the country's topography AS a matter Of fact
the few people who have seen Everest at all as
il rises amidst its seventy-fvs neghboring
mountains admit that their views were not sat
isfactory and that it's entirely possible that an
other mountain may be even taller. If the pre-
limnsry surveys prove this 70 be the fact the
rival mountain win Be attempted.
Calculations however, have placed the height
f Mt Everest at 29,141 feet, which makes 1t
higher by several hundred feet, according 70 the

about 5000 feet is exposed

Tibetan Coolies Pressed Into Service

MAJ. z. ". Schroeder, the American aviator
who established the world altitude record by
climbing to a height Of 5000 feet in an aero
plane, was in a half-conscious state during the
latter stages of the ascent, SO much so that he
lost control OF his machine and fell into q
dive Mountain climbers, however, declare that
conditions are different for them, as they accus-
tom themselves to the changing conditions as
they go along.
But can human being who Is normally ad-
usted TO resist an atmospheric pressure of fifteen
pounds to the square inch ever be made to en-
dure q condition where this pressure is almost
entirely removed? Deep-sea fishes, accustomed

the preliminary stages Of the climb The matter
Of proper clothing and food for this last stretch
will have to have been worked out perfectly.
Many Bhotian coolies Of Tibet will be I'M
pressed into service when the actual climbing Is
begun These coolies are not enthusiastic about
climbing anyhow, and as they strict Hindus
the matter Of providing diet for them that will
meet both their religious exsctions and their
bodily needs, is one IF tho delicate questions that
will complcate the ultimate effort The usual
eonvalescents diet viii probably be adopted.
George Finch. member Of the climbing CON-
mittee, in discussing the climb before his de-
partUre, said: Il do not IN the least fear our
ability TO piece out an ultimate route up the
mountain. The question is whether the ccndi-
tons viii allow Us TO follow the route selected

we hope to reach We may meet with conditions

Gus experience Of the angle az which snow may

But though Mr.. Finch uininizes the danger
Of sustaining life at such an altitude, other mem
bers Of the party have said that it Is the only
considerable factor In their way.
In any event. they're on for the top OF the
world, carrying with them the best wishes %

agreed that the final $500 feet viii tell the story
It is as yet an unsolved question whether a man
can even move at such an altitude. AS for the
use Of seroplanes, If they could be transport
ed that far and landing places found, experts de-
clare that they would be impossible to control In
such thin air
An American aviator volunteered 70 make the
fight TO the tip Of Everest, but his offer not
accepted for these reasons. On the other hand
