|JOnsOng' Summit Attained
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., DEL, L
Famous Scientific AuthOritu

In two groups, on April 6 and
Z, respectively, the greatest ex-
pedition Of mountain climbers
ever assembled started off from
Darjeeling to attempt the con-
quest Of Kanchenjunga. In
these articles has been told the
story Of the expedition, and Of
the failure to conquer Kanchen-
Junga on account of avalanches.i
But the party achieved a
great triumph. nevertheless.
Baked in the attempt to scale
Kanchenjunga, the effort was
next made to climb to the sum-
NIT Of JonSnog Peak, the
northerly outpost Of Kanchen-
junga.
To attain this end, which was
crowned with success. it was
necessary to negotiate" JON
song La pass. To the south is
Kanchenjunga, on the Bengal
side; to- the north is mysterious
Tibet.
The magnitude Of the effort
is shown by the fact that this
years party had $50 loads and
80 porters to carry them.
Jonsong Peak. although in.
ferior in altitude to its giant
neighbor, Kancla e njunga, is
truly one of the monarchs of
the district. It is 24,34O feet
high; its summit is broader and
more accessible than Kanchen-
junga.

Wants Fairgrounds for
Sixteenth Street Parks

Editor, Times:
It is a curious commentary
on the state Of mind Of some
persons that they should seek
to prevent the development Of
Fairgrounds along Sixteenth
Street. It seems to me this is
so callous and contemptuouS Of
human rights that it ought
to meet with a rebuke from the
City Fathers.
The Sixteenth Street High
lands residents do not want
the old reservoir tract de-
veloped into a great playground
for children. No, they suggest
an Italian sunken garden in.
stead, feeling that this will en-
nance the value of their prop
erty and keep the children
away from their midst.
It ought to be called to their
attention that the reservoirs
track, like the parks of the
city, belong to the Government
and to the public. It is not
private property and ought not
to be subjected to private in
tereSt.
If the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission does
not return the request Of the
Sixteenth Street residents I
shall be greatly disappointed.
The city belongs to all the
people, and the commission is
created to work for the people,
not for property holders.

RrSINESS I'm CHANGING DAYS


One of the striking changes of
modern times, is the tendency of
people to move around from place
to place. They do not stay put in
one town the way they used to. Pop
ulations are very shifting. The res
idents of most towns are quite diff
ferent set of people from what they
were five years before, and they will
be quite different in five years from
now.
To meet these changes in popula-
tions, business concerns have to do
much more to call the attention to
the public to their service. Years
ago when people settled down in one
community and lived there all their
lives, they became more familiar
with the business places of their
home towns. Today, when the pop
ulation of any town and its sur
rounding country includes a large
element of people who have lived
there only short time, long estab-
lished business regulations do not
go so far.
When a new family moves into a
locality, the first thing they are in
terested in is to decide where to go
for their supplies. They buy the
newspapers of near by trade CEN
ters, to get some idea of the busi-
ness of the place. They study the ad-
vertising in those newspapers, and
they are apt to patronize the places
that show the most enterprise in
their advertising.
The fact that some concern had
been in business there for a long
time would not mean much to them.
II such a concern failed to use ad-
vertising, while a newly established
one advertised freely, their tendency
would be to look at the advertised
store as showing the most enter
prise and push, and hence they
would be likely to patronize that
store.
A retail store needs to do a lot
of advertising to catch the trade of
people who have recent
ly moved into the near by and out
lying country, and young folks who
are just setting out to buy things
for themselves.

MODERNIZING THE HOMES

Roger w. Babson, noted statisti-
clan, referred in a recent address to
the much discussed question of Ov-
reproduction. with only 20 per
cent of the homes in this country
having bath-tubs," he said, there
certainly is no over production of
bath-tubs." He held that the diff
Guilty is not due to a lack of money,
but to a lack of the circulation of
money. A
Some observers claim. that the
American people have spent so
much money during recent years
for automobiles, radios, and other
new facilities of living, that their
wants in these respects are as near
being supplied as they can be, in
the present state of our wealth and
prosperity.
But when one considers that only
20 per cent of our people have bath
tubs, and that every family would
like one, one gets an idea of what
an enormous amount of work yet
remains to be done before people
are equipped for modern living.
Bath-tubs are only one of many ia
cilities that are needed. Millions of
people lack automobiles, radios, re-
frigerators, and labor saving equip
ment for the homes. The people
long for these things and will have
them as soon as they can get the
money. The problem is to produce
the state of prosperity that will per-
nit every industrious and thrifty
family to obtain these facilities. In
time this ideal will be attained.
If we could only stabilize the in
dustries so they would run regular
ly, millions of people who still lack
these facilities would buy them.
While people can get along without
improvements if they have |
to, yet the modern devices tighten |
toll and save time, so that they con-
tribute to the general progress of
the community.
The great achievement of the 18th
century was to open up the unset
lied parts of our country and build
modern methods of communication,
and the great task of the goth cen
Jury is to modernize its homes.

WHAT DEMOCRATS THINK

Dover Index, Sept. 1S, 1880
HAVING ACCOMPLISHED his pur-
pose to secure the nomination of his
candidate for Senator by the DEM
ocratic convention and declaration
favoring the repeal of the 18th
Amendment and the Klair law, we
may look forward to an attempt of
Mr.. Pierre S. DUPONT, promised but
recently, to take hand in the NOM
ination of county and district can
didates in Kent and the other cOun-
ties. Especially has this threat been
made as to legislative candidates.
With some of the DUPONT family in
control of the Democratic party,
where is the self respecting Demo-
Gratis to turn? The State convention
passed, the Kent county convention
approaches. Kent county is Demo-
cratic and should remain so. Two
years ago the Republicans secured
control of the Levy Court and for
the second time elected the Sheriff.
At this election a Clerk of the Peace
a Recorder of Deeds, Clerk of the
Orphans Court, a Receiver of Taxes,
Sheriff and a Coroner are to be
elected. Besides these county Off
ficers, all the members of the Levy
Court, three Senators and five rep
resentatives are to be elected. All
these officers are of the highest i'm
portance to Kent county citizens
and it is best for the people that
they be Democrats. The party
should win all of the county officers
and lose none of the members of the |
Legislature from districts that have
heretofore been represented by |
Democrats. To do this will require |
tact and wisdom in nomination and
united and tireless effort. This year
nominations will be made at coun-
ty convention. The party of the
county has won many hard fought
county battles and if left alone can
win this one. Outside interference
will not be helpful and Democrats
in every district should be on guard
against it.
