BY HUGH RUTTLEDGE,
Leader of the 1896 British Mount
Everest Expedition.

Leader of the 1895 British Mount
Everest Expedition.
DARJEELING, India, July 8 (By
airmail via London) Members OF the
Mount Everest expedition have now
returned here, with the exception OF
E. E. Shipton, G. H. KempSon, DR..
c. B. Warren and E. H. L. Wingram.
They turned aside to climb for a few
days in Sikkim.
The other eight of us marched about
26O miles in 18 days with all our
transport. We halted for only one
day en- route.
One of the outstanding lessons OF
this years attempt to climb Everest
is that, unfortunately, meteorological
science cannot yet forecast far ahead.
Early indications were that normal
monsoon might be expected, reach
ing the Everest region about June 10
or Is. Actually it arrived on May "A
Perfect Weather Broken.
We had almost perfect weather un-
til April 30. Noteworthy phenomens
were the exceptional warmth and the
almost total absence of northwest
winds. Snow fell on April 80.
We ignored this, and had the East
Rongbuk Glacier camps fully stocked
by May g. The party was in such
splendid form that the originally
planned dates were advanced by q
week, and camp No. 4 occupied by
the first assault party-F. S. Smythe
and E. E. Shipton and Al porters-by
May IS, in spite of bad snow condi-
dons.
They had to make dangerous de-
scent on May 18 owing to further falll
of snow, and the expedition returned
to camp No. l to rest. On May 10
like a bombshell, came the news oi
the monsoon's appearance in the Bay
of Bengal. followed by an incredibly
rapid advance to Darjeeling by May
%, and to Everest itself the next day
This could be due only to the alb
sence of the normal northwest winds
We reached camp No. 3 on May "a
hoping that the monSon might ex.
pend itself on the southern ranges
but we were driven back in blizzard
on the 28th
Snow FORCES More hetreatS.
The very next day brought strong
northwest wind for the first time. We
Immediately went up again, expecting
the mountain to clear, but were storm
bound at camp No. 2 for four days
After that we reoccupied camp No. 3
and examined the north col slopes.
On June we tried to reoccupy camp
l,,& Iav,
caused us to retreat.
Next day, with violent northwest
gale removing much snow, Shipton and
wyn Harris made further examina-
ton, and were nearly killed by an
avalanche. The expedition then gave
I'D the attempt on the east side OF
the col and descended to camp No. l.
From there we ascended the west side
Of the main Rongbuk Glacier as last
effort.
Our reconnaissances here give rea-
son for a belief that, in good condi-
tions, this route is feasible and safer
than the other. Heavy snow, however,
made a complete examination i'm
possible.
The climbers have proved that the
east side Of the north col must def
nitely be left alone when the monsoon
arrives, and that the west side is well
worth an attempt early in the next
attack. Possibly it can be used even
after the monsoon has begun.
We must realize that in some years,
such as this, Everest is unapproach-
able throughout.

PATERNITY OF TRIPLETS

~ the Associated Press.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, July 81.
Mrs. Lois Miller hoped the courts
would decide today that her husband,
r. J. Miller. is the father of her
o-month-old boy triplets.
Judge c. E. Chillingworth called
upon the Millers to produce the trip
lets-Marvin, Edgar and Lamar-at
hearing today.
Louis D. Pierre, Miami automobile
mechanic, claimed they were his sons.
In habeas corpus proceeding he as
serted he lived with Mrs. Miller in
Miami before she divorced her first
husband, Aubrey johnson.
He claimed Mrs. Miller promised to
marry him after her divorce, but wed
Miller instead. The babies were born
last October before the mother divorced
johnson and married Miller.
Miller said he expected the color of
the babies eyes and the shape of their
hands to bear out his own claim of
fatherhood.
They're just like mine," he said.

in 1896 to finance the pension. If the
100000 were taken from the 6e-

road maintenance seriously; but Mr..

The Agricultural Adjustment Act
proposed to restore parity prices. I'm
der its operation the farmers of Min

payments and saw their price level
increase from $40 of pre-war

Processing taxes were distasteful to
the packers, the millers and the cot

them in the courts. The Supreme

specifically delegated in the Consti-
whereby production can be controlled

tutional grounds the decision is, per-

dence that agricultural adjustment is
something which cannot be accom-
plished by the 4S individual states.
Whether the decision is correct on
constitutional grounds or not, it fur
nishes no comfort to the farmers.

proposed are the export debenture and
domestic allotment or cost of produc-

A tenseness prevailed at the OPEN
ing of this session. however, as the
membership awaited the decision of
the Supreme Court on the cOnstitu-
tionality of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act.
Shortly after noon the news came
that the Supreme Court, by vote of 8
to 3, had held that the Federal Govern
ment has no constitutional power to
regulate crop production, and, since
processing taxes furnish the means
to pay farmers for crop regulation,
they are invalid.
Since that decision was announced
many members of both parties who
sincerely desire the maintenance of
permanent economic equality for the
farmer have frankly admitted their
bewilderment as to what course to
take.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act
was adopted on May -, 1888, as a plan
to remedy the sorry plight into which
agriculture had fallen in 1892 and
previous years. The act declared that
the increasing disparity between
prices paid by farmers for industrial
products and prices received by farm
ers for agricultural products was un-
| dermining our economic stability.
In other words, the farmer received
too little for what he sold and paid
too much for what he bought.
This was caused by the Smoot-
Hawley industrial tariffs which held
industrial prices up and by agricul.

Duck Hunters Protest New Bird Regulations

Hunting enthusiasts report q very poor season due 10 indictment Weath- CT conditions, scarcity of game. and unreasonable restrictions. Duck hun ters especially feel that the new regulation requiring each hunter to have only ten birds in his possession is unfair To those in this district. It is not worth their while. they say. to make a trip to the hunting grounds for only the limit for one day.
 Although ten ducks are allowed each hunter per day he must not have more than ten in his possession All of which means that il the hun ter could dispose of his game each day. he could bag ten birds for every day that he remained on the grounds But the inaccessibility of the Stl- kine flats makes that possibility i'm practicable If there is no tide in the early morning it is quite impossible for the hunter to leave town and re- turn the same day from hunt. There is also the danger of beeom- ing storm bound for several days If one has a small open boat, but the law still prevails; the hunter may have only one days limit of birds in his possession.
 Since hunting here is not only a sport but a means of procuring food for the winter months there is an other restriction which is figur- atiye nall in the hunters shoe; namely, the law which requires that all birds killed during the hunting season must be disposed of ten days after the season is over.
 Of late years the salting and can ming of wild fowl aside from those placed in cold storage for use during the lean months has become wide spread The new regulation quickly disposes of that source for adding to the winters food supply. Many of the local hunters feel that the regu- lations impose unwarranted hard ship on Alaskans.
