THERE was the pure snow climb which Miss
Engelhard made on Mount Baker in the
Cascade Range, which gave her ample oppor-
tunity to test her theories. 1t was 19-hour
climb, the longest stretch which she has ever
done The ascent completed in one and
one-fourth days, although it usually requires
three days to make the climb.
The girl who climbs mountains for fun is
now at present interested in scaling the
peaks of Switzerland as those of Canada.
I'm the latter, far more adventure is pos
sible," she says. There are literally hundreds
of unclimbed peaks and many new routes to
make in Canada, while in Switzerland prac-
tically every mountin has been climbed dozens
of times by every possible route. While the
climbs seem sporting, they lack the charm
of the unknown"

Miss EngelnarQ Is tne
first human being to have climbed the Helmet,
In Jasper Park, Canada. Lots of people have
looked up the IL ooo-foot ascent and shaken
frightened heads.
"The peak is fairly obvious one to See,"
Miss Engelhard explains. THE glacier is
crevassed all Of the way up. To make it
worse dangerous ice was overhanging on both
sides and the passage which we had to carve
for ourselves was slippery.
"The only way out of the inclosure was up
q 40-foot cliff. We had hardly started up the
cliff when we sank into new snow up to our
knees and had to crawl on our hands and
knees to avoid crevasses. On the upper glacier
huge piece of ice fell the spot where we
had been standing. We went up 500 feet of
sheer ice, to the summit cornice, cutting steps
with our ice axes as we went.
"The ascent required nine hours We left
at in the morning, the usual hour to begin
q climb, and climbed until early afternoon.
Coming down took three hours"
There is difference in the technique of
snow and ice climbing, the woman record
holder says.
'Tt is usually easier to walk down in snow
than on sheer rocks" she declares from her
experience. 'I like rock climbing better. In
climbing sheer rock you must be sure that

at such an angle that a slip would U

The party reached the top aIter

At the top Miss Engelhard looked in

of previous climbers. The stone figure is usually
erected by climbers who have the distinction
of being the first to reach certain peak.

"In 1928, on Mount Robson, the second
highest peak in the Rockies, we were caught
in a storm and had to stay all night. Always,
though if climbers see blizzard coming they
hurry down. We are afraid of thunderstorms,
especially, for the lightning touches the nails

HOME FOUNDATION
CHECKING IS VITAL
Detecting First Signs of
Weakness Will Avoid
Much Trouble.

When undermining it is well to re-
member that no building, however
fine the superstructure, can be any
stronger than the foundation upon
which it rests. 1t is, therefore, of
first Importance to keep sharp watch
for the first signs of weakness in the
construction below ground.
The first danger sign is usually a
damp basement or cellar. If neglect
ed there quickly follows cracks in the
walls, the warping of floors and other
damage which it will be costly to re-
pair. If attended to in time the need
ed repairs can be made easily and
economically.
Builders and real estate brokers
say that a good, dry, light and airy
basement or cellar adds from $500 to
$1,000 to the value of an ordinary
dwelling. This Is another sound rea-
son why the property owner should
make thoroughgoing inspection of
his foundation before applying for
a loan under the modernization credit
plan of the Federal Housing Admin
iStration.
While many know the annoyance
and i'll effects of wet Easements, rela-
lively few are familiar with simple,
comparatively inexpensive remedial
methods, so that they put up with
mildew, molds and decay. If they
realized that this dampness hastens
the corrosion Of metals throughout
the building and swiftly eats away
the value of the property they would
promptly avail themselves of the op-
portunity offered by the better hous-
ing program to effect remedial re-
pairs.

Home, at 1920 Forty-fourth street,
begins the second week of public ex-
hibition tomorrow under sponsorship
Of The Star
This beautiful small home, designed
along the lines of the Colonial period
and possessing all the advantages Of
larger and more expensive homes in
construction quality, is the fourth
in the 1884 series of model homes
sponsored by this newspaper. 1t was

The home already has been given
the stamp of approval by visiting
hundreds, many of whom were open
in their praise of its many features,
its simplicity of design and conven-
ience of arrangement. Preparation
has been made to handle the thou
sands expected to inspect it before
expiration of the 30-day exhibition
period.
Before receiving the Silver Star
award, the home was rigidly inspect

resultant wet Easements, may come
of various causes, but the most COM
mon one is absence of caves troughs
and downspouts, or failure to repair
defective ones. Where such exist
repairs should be made at once.
Any competent contractor can re-
place a crumbling foundation quickly
and without fuss or bother to the
occupant of the building. The cost
of repair in proportion to the dam
age which must result from further
neglect would appear to make prompt
action almost imperative.
Hairline cracks in the concrete
foundation walls may have no great
significance, but if these walls are
Clipped. or have holes in them. you
have fairly good evidence that lean"
cement has been used and you should
be alert for trouble.
In putting in the new foundation
walls the competent contractor will
see to it that the walls extend 6 or 8
inches above the ground line and run
down well below the frost line. This
will prevent any damaging heave to
the building during freezes and thaws.

OLD HOUSE MADE new
Various Improvements Will Give
Modern Appearance.

The fact that a house was built
80 years ago is no reason that it
should be out-of-date. In almost
every room something can be done
to make it modern and more useful.
Perhaps it is in the kitchen that age
shows up more definitely than any
where else. Dingy. smoked walls,
bare pipes and an uncovered stove
were once taken as a matter of course.
Today the modern kitchen has
wainscoting on the walls. Its tile,
imitation tile or marble, or paint
finish makes the kitchen a fit place
to cook in, while two benches and
table in a corner makes a breakfast
nook that saves many steps in the
morning. The stove should be COW
cred with hood of some non-inf1am-
mable material. while the pipes can
be easily concealed from view.
