Mount Everest Triumphs.

Mount Everest has conquered man.
Caution and humanity have led
Brigadier-General G. G.. BRUCE to
recall the mountaineers who have
been striving to reach it's pinnacle.
The conditions against which they
contsnded were so menacing that
neither the enthusiasm of sportsmen
nor the unflagging persistence Of
men with mission was allowed fur
ther to imperil their lives.
A disappointment has been re-
corded: a disaster may have been
avoided.
Never has an adventure in noun
tain climbing been more carefully
planned than this, which, having
reached the altitude of 81 300 feet, has
been forced to give up. baffled. Two
seasons were allotted for its task; In
1921 the preliminary surveys were
made, the point of departure for the
ascent was decided on and the appa-
ratus was tested. This year the
climb itself was undertaken. The
party consisted OF picked men; the
outfit included everything experience
and foresight could suggest. In so
far as was humanity possible nothing
was left to chance. But the defenses
nature has erected to guard the
towering height which overlooks the
roof of the world proved too strong
to be overcome.
&'Thus ends a chapter in mountain
climbing to which mankind has given
closest attention. The last Of the con-
spicuous unknown places naturally
excites the curiosity. The great diff
culties overcome In the approach TO
the crest OF the mountain whetted in

unsuccessful efforts to scale the sum

took the climbers to within 1,700
feet OF the top. There the monsoon
halted the expedition.
The knowledge gained by the
Bruce party will be at the service of
their successors. and successors It is
sure to have.

These are puzgling dnd ever recurring
questions, and there are various opinions
on the subject. such as that too many
girls want to marry millionaires and

that mothers will not let sons get mar

Nova Scotia's Sympathy.
The Common Grief Of Peoples Whose
Sons Go Down to the Sea I'm Ships.
From the HaliJar Herald.


Perhaps the compexity OF our per-
sonal and International relationships Is
responsible for the fact that no matter
from what port a vessel sails to ply its
calling on the Grand Banks, we expert
ence sense of regard toward It that
instinctively compels qualification at It's
success or a poignant grief over what
III fate might befall It. 1t is this sense
of loss that overwhelms Nova Scotians
Mt the disaster that has overtaken the
Puritan.
The unusual circumstances surround
ing its construction, circumstances which
In themselves established a very close
association. bringing the Puritan to US
as familiarly as those other maRnifl-
ctnt vessels OF the Gloucester fishing
fleet, Esperanto and Elsie. furnished an
additional reason why we should regard
this schooner almost as a proteee of our
own. and if anything were wanting to
complete the claim II Is found In the
fact that the personnel Of the Puritan
were overwhelmingly natives OF this
province.
Citizens OF the United States they
may havo peen ana probably were, but,
after all. the frontiers of the two ma
.tions exist only IN the imagination and
nationality counts Tor nothing when
such disaster falls upon mon whom
we know to be bone of our bone and
flesh OF our flesh. Nothing could dcrur
onstratc moro clearly the realities that
rnite our country to the southern re-
public than this condition of things
which brings joint mourning to the two

Country Road Sidewalks.

At the recent Syracuse meeting OF
the State Motor Federation resolu-
tions were adopted urging the New
York State Highways Department to
construct footpaths for pedestrians
along highways. The Federation also
asked for legislation to prevent the
parking OF automobiles within 200
feet of curves on the State roads.
Both suggestions are worthy of
serious consideration. AS far as pc
destrians are concerned, the once safe
and attractive country road has now.
in many rural regions, become a COM
bination OF death trap and dust
smothered racetrack. AS pathway
for leisurely, cQntemplative saunter-
ing the railroad track is preferable.
it has tho advantage OF greater
safety; It is much more comfortable
TO walk on. Hobbling over ties and
stone ballast has its disadvantages.
TO be sure. but these are Offset by the
added sense OF security. There are
spaced intervals when no trains are
in sight. On the country roads auto
mobiles are usually bearing down
on the pedestrian from front and
from rear, and not infrequently at
breakneck speed.
For miles around-New York, in the
densely populated regions up the
Hudson, on Long Island and in New
Jersey, the highways, particularly on
q fine summer Sunday, reproduce
conditions on New York's vehicle
crowded streets. with the added dis
advantage that there are few traffic
policemen. The pedestrian must be
constantly alert. Blinded by dust
and half suffocated by gasoline fumes
he must be prepared at every instant
for violent acrobatics with life and
limb MT stake.
Under the law tho man afoot has
rs much right to the rural roadway
rs has the man In the automobile.
1t Is a public highway as free to
patrons OF Shanks' mare as TO the
users OF any other mode Of locomo-
tion. This being the case, 1t does
not seem unreasonable to ask that
provision be made for the pedestrian
TO exercise his privilege without in
curing peril of death. The solu-
'tion suggested by the Motor Fedora
tlon Is the roadside path. II is on
its face a reasonable solution; indeed
the ono which in all probability must
eventually be adopted.
Automobiles cannot be barred from
the highways. Neither can pedestri-
ans. But conditions are rapidly ap-
preaching, in many localities actu-
ally already exist, in which automo-
biles and pedestrians cannot use the
highway together save as It Is used

Why Not Protest to Illinois as

The reader picks up his newspaper

But is the angry reader justified In
wondering that American citizens
should be subjected to such treat
ment in a foreign land?
A week ago more than forty Amer
ican citizens, who were engaged upon

bound together. Twenty of them at
