The ascent made last summer was
unique in that nothing but rope was

Misses Hicky and Ferguson are two
young women of Albuquerque, New

anyone anywhere he wants to go, so
that when someone suggested the top
of the Enchanted Mesa as a destina-

the attempt. They enlisted the aid Of
Richard P. Woodson, young AL

dicted to attempting the unusual and

He is the only man who has ever
navigated the Rio Grande in a canoe,
and now he adds to this the distinction
of being the, only man who ever

Cliff, for few minutes, and then
started up, climbing a assure by cut

one point at which the spectators

Woodson says that he, at the time
agreed with them. but he finally
reached the top, carrying a rope. All

VETERANS JOURNEY
FEATURES RETURN OF
STATUE TO MOUNTAIN
CBy Associated Press)

MONTE GRAPPA, Italy, Sept o.
This mountain, 5000 feet high anna
the rugged crags of the AIDS, mas Just
been the scene of vast pilgrimage or
$4,000 veterans of the World war, wo-
men and children, who for days have
been climbing to reach the summit
where the statue of a Madonna ana
child was reconsecrated in memory OF
the Italian heroes who fought in These
mountain Businesses.
The road to the summit is IL miles
in length and winds through passes,
skirts the edge of bottomless ravlnes
and rises finally to giddy heights,
where to the south one sees the plains
of the Isonzo to the sea. to the north
continue chains of towering Alps. 1t
was thus that during the war, the
army that occupied Monte Grappa con-
trolled the plain.
Was Key to War Situation
It was the mountainous battle-ground
of the Italian and Austrian armies and
its changing of hands during the
course of the war is the story of the
whole campaign.
The Madonna which has now retak-
en- her place on the summit was
placed here in 1910 by Cardinal Sarto,
patriarch of Venice. In May, 1918,
while the stronghold was in possession
of the Italians, an Austrian bomb
struck the pedestal on which the
statue rested. A captain of engineers
and handful of men left their dugouts
among the rocks and in terrific bonn
bardment lifted the statue and took 1t
to place of safety.
On convenient day, it was taken
down from the mountain and carried
back to the rear to remain until the
end of the war so that it could be
erected with safety.
Orlando Makes Address
For the ceremony of replacing the
Madonna, which has just taken place,
the king was represented by the Duke
of Bergamo, who delivered an address
on the sacrifices made by Italian
troops in the defense of Grappa. For
mer Premier Orlando made the prin-
cipal speech, in which he recounted
| the heroic exploits of the Italian army
| in overcoming the seemingly unsur-
mounta BILE difficulties of the mountain
| stTongholds.
There were special commissions at
| the ceremony from the senate and the
| chamber of deputies. After the adj
| dresses, a mass was celebrated. The
| Cardinal of Venice with five bishops
| of the Veneto officiated in the relig-
ious ceremony.
General Giardino, known as the de
fender of Grappa," received a gold
medal from the city of Treviso. While
the ceremonies were performed a huge
Italian dirigible lowered over the
mountain heights signaling to the
mountain villagers.
| IL also carried a message to Grappa
from the city of Venice, which read
as follows: THE bulwark of the air
salutes the bulwark of the mountains. I"

umbrellas are twice as much in de-
mand as a year ago, manufacturers

who sally forth with cheerful garb
on fair days.
Rainy days in New York this sum-

picture on the streets as in the past,
when the black umbrella was the only
kind to be seen. The working girls,
who must go into the business thor

veloped a penchant for umbrellas of

blue. and others have taken up this
cheerful challenge to the darker side
of nature.
