2 American Women
To Ascend Olympus
Teachers Sail in Hope Of Find
ing the Home Of the Ancient
= Greek Gods-Both Have
Climbing Records at Home.

Shades Of Zeus!
Juno. Atheneus and all the other
gods and goddesses OF old Greek
mythology, will dust the cobwebs
from their eyes at the sight"
which they will behold within the
next few months.
Blushing Greek goddesses, II we
are to believe the historians locat.
ing the kingdom of the old Greeks
on Mt. Olympus, will gather their
white mantels close around them
as they behold" two, modern Amer
Jean women dressed in the clothes
like men. scaling the heights of
the seat Of the old Greek kingdom.
For the first time in history two
women mountaineer climbers will
attempt this dangerous feat and
establish a new world record in
mountain climbing. The daring
American women who will climb
Mt. Olympus are Miss Winona
Bailey, teacher Of Latin and Greek
in the Queen Ann High School. Of
Seattle, Washington, and Mrs. L.
X. Frazeur. teacher in the Nichol.
asen High School.
Twice In 100 years have the
heights OF the historic mountain
been climbed. but both times by
men.
Miss Bailey and her companion
sailed today from New York city
aboard the Mauretania for England
and later for Constantinople.
The American women will go into
a region long infested with baniits
from southern Europe and countries
bordering on Turkey.
All Snakes and Bandits.
The memory Of Miss Ellen stones
expedition into this, region, where
she was kidnapped by bandits. is
still fresh in the minds of the noun
taineer world. A missionary there
she was held six months for ransom
by Turkish bandits and was released
after $4,000 was raised by Amer.
ican citizens.
There is tradition in Greek
mythology familiar in mountaineer
circles. that a woman who climbs
Mt. Olympus defiles the sacred seat
Of the Greek heaven. But the dar-
ing American women will have
somethinb more substantial than the
wrath o., the gods to worry about.
The region In infested with the most
vicious blacksnakes. 1t is said.
The women hope to determine
which Of the several peaks Of Mt.
Olympus is highest. and have :aken
instruments with them. The exact
height Of these peaks has never been
established. and the women noun
taineers hope to be the first to make
this contribution to the mountaineer
knowledge.
They will make a report to the
National Geographic Society, and
will turn all pictures over to the So
ciety for future reference.
Both Good Climbers.
The adventure of the two Ameri.
can women is looked on with con-
fidence in the mountaineer world
because of the record already es.
tablished in the United States.
Both. Miss, Bailey and Mrs. L. r.
Frazeur have made six ma ajor
ascents." The peaks they have at.
tanned are the glacier peaks of
Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams. Mt. st.
Helens. Mt. Olympia, Washington.
These are the largest glacial peaks
in the West.
Both are members of the Noun.
taineer Club Of America. Miss

THE CLANS THAT AMT
IN THE CHOWDER.

Years ago when l went to Sunday
Church suppers were in full blast.
Oyster stews were highly advertised,
And headed the evenings repast.
We knew that the supper was a
benefit,
And we didn't kick up any row,
II the oyster stew had just one
oyster,
And there was some other chow.
II was quite different. though.
With the clam chowder we used
to buy,
In the restaurants In most cities,
And for those days I do sigh.
They once put some clans in the
chowder.
Now it's left -over pork or ham.
With a few cheap vegetables and
crackers;
You can't find a single damn
clam.

RUFF STUFF

The Government investigation of
the indiscriminate murder of Ameri-
can soldiers in France would make
a man-eating cannibale of Polynesia
blush for shame. Imagine mothers
grief at seeinga rope and black-cap,
the emblems of dishonor and treason
or else the evidence of foul death
at the hands of barbarous RAINY Of
ficer. Evidence that such tropics
were found in the caskets with the
bodies of soldiers brought home for
interment has been produced before
the Investigating committee. The
cruelty of the famous keeper Of the
Andersonville prison during the Civil
War reads like Sunday School les
son when compared to such barbarous
deeds as these. The sevagery of the
Boche as he swept through Belgium
seems but little worse than this
crime if it be true.
