Explorers Make
Summit of Mount
Fugi i'm Mid=Winter

MAJOR oRDE LEES. the para
chute expert and Antarctic
explorer, and II. Crisp. both Of the
British Air Mission to Japan, are
the first climbers ever to reach
the summit Of Mount Full FuJi-
Yama. the sacred mountain OF
Japan in mid-winter.
Major Orde Lees Is an expert
enced Alpinist, but Mr.. Crisp Is .
Londoner with no former expert
ence of mountain climbing. Mount
Full is 1865 feet high.
The climb necessitated sleeping
for two nights in a hut at 400
feet. The snow extended from the
summit down to $500 feet. The
last 1000 feet below the summit
consisted OF solid ice. This portion
of the climb occupied nine hours.
The summit was reached at
p. m. The whole of the descent
was made in a dense fog during
the night. A violent storm ragged
all through the first night. In
Guiding the rests. the climb and
descent occupied exactly forty
eight hours. A record barograph
was carried throughout the ex-
pedition.
The climbers state that the cold
at tho top of the mountain at
night was not severe. They had
tho misfortune to lose their en-
tire equipment cameras. spare
clothing. thermos TASKS, snow
shoes. and all their food through
"caching" IL at a height OF 10000
feet and being unable to find II
in the fog and darkness on the
way down.
No guides. coolies. horses or
vehicles were employed other
than a small sledge, made from
crashed aeroplano, on which the
climbers pulled their equipment to
the sleeping-hut.
Major Lees was a member Of the
Shackleton expedition Of 1914-l5.
in charge Of motor-sledges, and
has made eighty-one parachute
descents from aeroplanes with q

There are spheres above us in.

about forty years. Life is eternal,

There are likewise spheres of

is all mental. A spirit may so

committed suicide is very unhappy

What is needed in this country
more than automobile factories, Nj
trate plants, bumper crops, bonuses,
tariff legislation, peace pacts, high
ways, prohibition enforcement legis-
lation, etc, etc, is revival of good
ness. The goodness that makes men
attend church; that rears children to
respect home and law; that teaches
boys and girls to walk the paths Of
righteousness and modesty; that
makes folks feel the sting of wrong
doing; that makes honesty and integ-
rity the guide-post of life and living,
Goodness is needed to rid the coun-
try of the filth and greed and selfish
ness. 1t will elevate the people SO
that they may see above the so called
joys of idleness; above the allure
ments of petty politics; above the
present-day social functions, and
above all the silly customs and evil
practices now damning and degrad-
