GARRETT P. SERVISS ON SPIRIT
OF MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
Sport Is Not Only Good Exercise, but Touches
Peak of Romance and Adventure.

r HOPE those climbers get to
the top of Mt. Everest. I
u wish I could be there with
them. Mountain climbing Is the
finest exercise in the world for
lungs muscles. nerves and head.
The names Of the men who first
stamp their feet in the eternal
SHOWS on the head of the great
chief of the mighty Himalayas,
and premier of all the mountains
of the earth. will be written
among the immOrtals.
Mountain climbing has been
called a nineteenth century sport,
but already Othello had included
1t in the heroic tale with which
he won the admiration and the
heart Of Desdemona, for after his
"hair-breadth 'scapes L the immi-
nent deadly breach" he mentions
his adventures among "antres
vast and deserts idle, rough quar-
ries. rocks and hills whose heads
touch heaven"
Mountain climbing is like the
arabian Nights"-its subject IS
not science, but not trade, AMI
not society. hut something belong
ing to the transcendental world,
which people can only understand
when they ore in q mood Of de-
tachment from ordinary ideas Of
practicability. It is the work of
the spirit that discovered the
earth's poles, reaching both within
a period Of but little over two
years.
Yet the climbing Of Mount EV-
crest will have aplenty of prac.
tical results-in geography, in
physics, in meteorology, in physi-
ology and in many other ways.
Many persons have little idea
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-04-25

OF the enormous massiveness Of
those mountains, which in extent
and elevation are symbolical Of
the interchangeable supremacy
OF Asia among the continents.
Look at a typographical chart of
the world, where the Himalayas
seem as though they must weigh
down and crack the crust OF the
earth. Yet the modern doctrine
OF 1sostacy," the floating" Of
the continents and mountains on
q denser zone Of earth-stuff be-
low, assures us that those huge
ranges and towering peaks, to-
gether with their mighty founda-
tons, are relatively light.
In the western world we have
the longest mountain chain In ex-
istence, the Andes, and If the
Rocky Mountains be considered
as a northward extension of the
Andean chain, the combined
length is prodigious. Along its
length, especially in South Amer
lea, rise many very lofty peaks.
OF which Aconcagua (23,393 feet
is probably the highest. But that
Is more than a mile less than
the height of Everest.
1t is instructive and interesting
to compare Everest with the
highest North American peak.
Mount Mckinley. For convent,
ence, we may picture each noun
tain as a cone (which, of course,
is not its real shape). giving it
base proportional to its height.
The height of Everest is 1.45
times that of Mckinley; their
relative volume, measured as
cones, Is about as three to one.

read an article recently in
which a woman writer took a
few shots at the custom. She
probably was right when she
said that the style is "all wet"
but she was wrong when she
stated that no man who amounts
to anything. pulls a movie-actor
with his locks.
She says that a man who uses
hair polish is in the same class
with the kitchen stove and that
1t Is his way of covering up the
fact that he is rusty.
What l want to know is
whether the woman who covers
her face with coating OF pow
der and rouge and lipstick is in
the same class with a birthday
cake and whether 1t is her way
of concealing the fact that she Is
goggy or stale.
The woman writes that when
she dances with a polished head"
she wants to put 1t under faucet
and see what happens.
Also that she refuses to take
