-----------------os-- MOUNT EVEREST SUMMIT

The highest point above sea level ever reached by human being afoot -27,300 feet--was attained with the aid of ygenbreathing apparatus, by two members of the Mount Ever est expedition. at noon, last May 27, says Henry s. White In the Popular Mechanics Magazine. This brought the explorers within 1,702 feet of the summit. the highest point on the earth's surface. The final attempt was to have been made June but the monsoon broke June 3, definitely frustrating any further efforts for this year at least When the monsoon breaks on Mount Everest, there is no alternative but to get off the noun tain as soon as possible.
 It has now been definitely proved that the mountain itself at the high est point reached is not difficult to climb, and the two explorers who came so near to reaching the actual summit were able to proceed along the north face without ropes. The one and only obstacle that made the summit unattainable was the bad weather, and with the monsoon left out, 1t Is certain that the summit will be reached at the next attempt. The two explorers who reached this Highest point were Capt. Godfrey Bruce, one of the leaders of the ex- petition, and George Finch, scien- tist attached to 1t.

sILo MOVED TRoM FARM

Recently a silo of three-ton capacity was moved intact from one farm 10 another in Ohio, and was re-erecthd on a new foundation without in- turing it in any way, says an illus trated article in the Popular Me- chanics Magazine. At it's original lo- cation, the silo was loaded onto a lumber wagon, and was then hauled to It's new site. Here the rear wheels of the wagon were removed, and the bottom of the silo was plac> d against the side of the new founda- tion. Then by means of block and tackle connected to It's top. the silo was hoisted from the front wheels into an upright position, and properly adjusted upon the founda- ton.

Artistic Decorations on Clothes
Give the Distinctive Touch
That Appeals.
MANY CHANGES IN FASHIONS
New Ideas In the Construction OF Ap-
parei Do Not Lie In outline OF
Garments But In Unusual
Embellishments.

Wherever dress Is discussed one
hears the assertion, '"There Is nothing
new" To the casual observer, observes
Paris fashion writer, there Is little
that Is new. From a walk along a
fashionable thoroughfare one gathers
the impression that clothes are much
the same as they were last year. II
But the close observer, the one Will
really Is interested in the fashions VII
see that there are changes-many Or
them-and that these changes are
clever and subtle. They do not lie II,
the outline Of the garments but 1T
unusual trimmings. 1t requires much
less effort and ingenuity to bring out
silhouette that is attention attracting
than to evolve beautiful and original
decoration.
Today the clever dressmaker buys
only small percentage Of her trim
mings ready made; she creates deco
rations suitable to the model she Is
designing, often using nothing but
the material from which the dress
Is made.
This Is an old idea. Our grand
mothers depended largely upon ruff
filings, pleatlngs and fittings to en-
nance the beauty Of their costumes,
and 1t is from these old-time trim
ming ideas that the present day self
trimming, as it is called, emanates.
Trimmings Of Self Material.
There was nothing artistic about
the evenly pleated or fluted ruffles.
Every dressmaker used them and
stitched them to the dress with great
eXactness. Vastly different are the
delicate handmade trimmings Of today,
carelessly tackled here and there.
Dressmakers now excel in intricate
handmade decorations, most of which
consist of novel ways of working the
materials composing the dress. A
great deal of this sort of trimming is
used, and it gives look of elaboration
to simply cut models. Sometimes it
takes the form of upright folds sewn
in patterns to form panels Oh skirts
and plastrCns on bodices. Again it
takes the form of geometrical pieces
sewn to the dress in a distinct pattern.
Another unusual form Of trimming
consists of narrow tabs embroidered
in self-tone, and still another interest
ing effect is produced by small leaflike
points and narrow strips cut from two
layers of material pasted together.
This makes it possible to use the raw
edge.
These tabs and strips are massed
to form design. Sometimes the
edges are finished with q line of water
color paint, or again, there is a tiny
metal ball, usually steel, sewn to the
tip.
