Once Overs
Hard Work Demands
Adequate Rest


In your efforts to perform
your work and still carry out
your evening amuSements, per-
haps you are driving yourself
too hard.
You are going beyond the
safety point in trying to have a
good time.
You drain your vitality by
burning the candle at both
ends.
It does not pay, as you will
find out eventually.
If you are a woman, your
beauty will suffer; you can't
afford to start on the down
grade in looks.
1t is not so easy to gain the
freshness of youth, when it has
once been lost.
If you are a man, perhaps you
have realized on your way home
from work that yau are very
tired and should take more rest
instead of using the night hours
searching for exciting amuse-
mentS.
You think excitement buoys
you up and banishes WEAKNESS.
You are mistaken there, for
you are working on your nerve.
Reserve forces come into play
and you carry on for a while.
Later you are too weary to
sleep.
Then you make resolutions to
get the rest you need the next
night.
But how often do you keep
your good resolutions to get
needed rest?
Young but once" is true, but
you might keep your youth
longer if you used more sense
in leisure hours.

Climbing Mount Everest
Il could see that they were
moving expeditiOusly, as if en-
deavoring to make up for lost
time. They had about 800 feet
to surmount to reach the top,
and if no particularly difficult
obstacle presented itself on the
final pyramid, they should have
got there by 3 p. m. or $3.50
p. m. This would be three or
four hours late on their sched-
ule and hence they would find
it impossible to reach Camp vi
before nightfall, allowing five or
six hours for the return.
"They may have missed their
way and in their overweight
condition sought shelter till day
light. Sleep at that altitude
and in that degree of cold
would almost certainly prove
fatal. The question remains: Has
Mount Everest been climbed?
1t must be left unanswered, for
there is no evidence. But bear
ing in mind all the circum-
stances, and considering their
position when last seen, 1, my
self, feel it very probable that
they succeeded. At that, must
leave it,"
Such is an epic of Everest,
the story of George Mallory and
A. C. Sandy" Irvine, told by
Capt. N. E. Odell, the last man
to see them alive as they made
their gallant dash for the crown
of the HimalayaS.
Once more man is to make
the try. Hugh Ruttledge is pre-
pairing now, on the invitation
of the Mt. Everest committee,
to have a go at it. He will leave
in January for Tibet and begin
the ascent in May or June. 1t
requires months to organize
such an expedition.
GREATEST OF ALL
Hundreds of yakS, mules and
donkeyS are needed to carry the
supplies and equipment, and
almost as many more native
porters must be enlisted. After
that, the trek starts from OAR
jeeling to the greatest peak Of
all. Everest's $4,000 feet repre-
sents our talleSt building, null
tiplied by 80 and piled one on
top of the other.
It has been known to the
world less than 100 years, and
gets its name from Sir George
Everest, who, in 1841, deter
mined it's position and it's
height. The isolation of Tibet
and Nepal kept the secret of
Everest through the centuries.
In fact, it is only in the last Is
years that exploration has been
permitted.
The Tibetan government must
sanction any attempt, and the
British are chary about request
ing such permission. A case in
point was the death last year

Bureaucratic Ascaridae

tude into of his public utterances he millions of

Perhaps Cleveland had prophetic vision of the fate of the

of the gallant Maurice Wilson,
former English army captain.
He commended that if Everest
ever was to be climbed it was to
be done by one man alone.
He flew out to India, trained
for months and was then for
hidden to make the attempt.
He escaped the surveillance of
the authorities at Darjeeling,
disguised himself in Tibetan
clothes and set out with a few
native porters. They covered
the $50 miles, an arduous trip
in itself, through the noun
tains at a level of $4,000 feet.
The natives last saw Wilson
at a height of $4,000 feet. He
failed to return to the base
camp. They waited until food
ran out and then, returning,
told the story.
Everest has not been climbed,
unless Mallory and Irvine made
it, but it has been flown over.
The young Marquis of Clydes-
dale with Col. Stewart Blacker
and Flight Lieutenant Mc1n-
tyre performed this feat last
year and barely made it. Their
plane was scarcely 100 feet
above the summit as they went
over. The superStitiouS Nepa-
lese blame the disastrous earth
quake that came soon after on
this flight, saying that the ex-
plorers had angered the mighty
gods of the mountain.
TURNED BACK
One man has been within 900
feet of the top of Everest and
has lived to tell the tale. He
is Col. E. F. Norton, who COM
manded the expedition in 1924
in which Mallory and Irvine per-
ished. Colonel Norton got up
to 28,126 feet. The distance be-
tween him and his goal was the
distance which Bobby Jones or
Gene Sarazen hits a full wood
shot in golf. But, blinded and
exhausted, Norton had to turn
back. The energy required had
been spent in the rescue OF four
porterS, marooned at one Of the
camps.
Captain Odell thinks that the
weight of their oxygen apparAr
tus, almost 80 pounds, had most
to do with the deaths Of Irvine
and Mallory. The Ruttledge ex-
petition will have the advantage
of more advanced and lighter
oxygen tanks. However, Cap
tain Odell is not convinced that
oxygen is so necessary to the
success of the expedition.
Climbing to $1,000 feet, with
and without oxygen, he found
that he did not get any more
benefit from the apparatus than
he did from ordinary breathing
atmosphere. He feels that If an
expedition has to use oxygen, 1t
will only be for the last few
hundred feet Of the climb.

dola was made by the Russians
in January, 1884. The greatest
height attained in an open bal
loon was 812 miles, made by
the American, Grey, who lost
his life doing it. An unnamed
balloon, carrying recording in
Struments, reached % miles.
The first ascent in a Spheri-
cal. sealed gondola, with suit
able equipment for observing
conditions in a stratoSphere,
was the classic ascent of Prof.
August Picard, in 1881, when
he reached height of 10 miles.
This venturing into the upper
reaches of the atmosphere is a
bold undertaking, indeed. We
do not know how high up the
atmosphere extends, but we
have evidence of the presence
of an intensely thin gas, the
lighter constituents of the at
mosphere, at $50 miles. Prob
ably a perfect vacuum exists at
$50 miles.
HEAVY PRESSURE
The pressure of this head" OF
air is 14.7 pounds per square
inch. We live our daily lives,
therefore, in compressed air. A
head of 80 feet of water is nee
essary to produce this pressure.
We all know how heavy lead is.
It would take SO inches of lead
to give the pressure per square
inch of our atmosphere. 1t is
a very dense medium on the
planes in it which weight tons,
or that when it gets moving 100
miles an hour it uproots trees,
blows down houses, and destroys
shipping.
We have divided the atmos-
phere into two layers, known as
the troposphere and the strato-
sphere. The former is the lower,
and is about seven miles thick.
The latter is about 20 to Is miles
thick. The troposphere is al

ways turbulent. The strato-
sphere is always calm.
The object in stratoSphere
ascents is to find out what the
upper atmosphere is like, so
that we may better understand
the behaviors of radio, sunlight
and coSmic rays. Sounding bal
looms bring back confusing rec
ords. They indicate a fall in
temperature of II degrees, Fab
renheit, for every mile of ascent:
but in the stratosphere the
temperature seems to hold con-
slant for a certain distance, and
beyond this, starts falling. One
sent up at Batavia, near the
equator, brought back a record
of 1874 below zero at a height
of 10 miles.
We particularly want to know
about the absorption of the diff
ferent components of sunlight,
and also about the reflection
of different radio wave lengths.
Different wave lengths seem to
act very differently, much as do
waves on water. Big, smooth
rollers make big ship pitch
and roll. but a little ship is not
bothered by them. Small waves
have no effect upon the big ship,
but make trouble for the little
ship.
ANOTHER LAYER
We cannot hope to get up
there in any balloon, but about
10 miles up there seems to be
a layer of atmosphere in which
the gases are electrical conduc-
tors. 1t is called the Kennedy
HeaviSide layer. 1t reflects Ger.
tain radio waves back to earth,
and passes certain others.
At 80 to $50 miles up there
seems to be another layer, the
Appleton, which seems to reflect
back some of what the Kennedy
Heaviside passes. We know the
heights of these layers by meas.
uring the time between the de-
parture from earth of a radio
wave, and the arrival back of its
reflection.
Three million miles up we
suspect there must be another
rejecting layer, probably formed
when electrical particles, shot
out by the Sun, encounter
Earth's magnetism, and form
some kind of a rejecting layer.
Captain Stevens will doubt
less bring back information
which will at least clarity some
of the phenomena of the lower
levels, and possibly hint at
what is going on high up.
