Harold Raeburn, editor of Mountaineering Art, and C. G. Crawford of the Assam civil sevice, both members of the Alpine club, were known to be conducting preliminary explorations in the hope of finding an easy access to the summit. More than one skirmish In the Jfcinity of Klnchinjunga was made, though the rains at the {time were heavy and the ever-shifting Ice fields Id the mountains were likely to come down in terrific avalanches, making all climbing Impossible without seri- £< Wfc risk to life. Encounter Qreat Difficult!**. {Their explorations led the climbers along the course of the Talung river, which takes its rise in the Tailing glacier. Here they crossed streams, the bridges of which had been washed away, and passed impenetrable forests, through which they had to hew their way for several days. Undaunted by the rainy weather, they traveled almost straight north to Pamlonghl, across the Gluchu Pass, 16,430 feet, to the Talung glacier, which is almost Immediately to the •outh of Klnchinjunga, and there obtained a glorious view of the moun- The party retorneO- t* Darjeeling Danzig's New Flag and Superintendent M ' . . . , First photograph of the new flag of the free state ot Danzig, flying from a window of the landehaus; also a portrait of Herr Relnhard, chairman ot the state's constitutional assembly and general superintendent of Danxig. and made their final preparations, engaging coolies und large quantities of stores. The rains, however, were so severe that it was not until September 2 that the two explorers were able to get away. Traveling out by the Slngallla ridge, they attacked Klnchinjunga on the southwest side and explored the glaciers. Access to the summit by that direction was found difficult, but the party persevered and eventually camped out at a level of 20,000 feet Here more difficulties were met and' bad weather was experienced. Snow began to fall and the expedition became Increasingly hazardous. A further thousand feet was overcome, but at this point the attempt had to fce abandoned. it' .

Deeply Concerned Over Situation--May Make Qeiw «*l Appeal to Publl#**, v Check Qambllag. Washington, D. C.--Approximately 18^000,000,000 changed hands last year as a result of the gambling mania, it was estimated here on the basis of Information reaching government heads through official and unofficial channels. Treasury officials are deeply concerned over the situation, which indicates, they say, that the United States la still clinging to wasteful and extravagant habits that grew up since the armistice. Frenzy Seizes Nat toft. The situation has been brought to tht attention of Secretary of Treasury Houston. Director William Mather Lewis of the savings division now is considering whether a general appeal to the public through ministers MAKES CLOCK IN 25 YEARS and civic societies would be effective in checking gambling. Lewis has just returned to Washington from a trip through the country in which he gave some attention to a study of the situation. "Gambling at cards and betting on racing has reached a frenzy never before equaled," he said. "Thousands appear to be engaged in It in one form or another, either as betting commissioners or bettors. "It is true that money changing Ownership through games of chance does not represent economic waste. But seldom are winnings put to any useful economic purpose. "The federal government, of course. Is powerless to act to check the mania except through a moral appeal." No Loss, But No Gain. Nearly $1,000,000,000 was won at poker and other card games alone this year, It was estimated. Tax receipts on sales of playing cards now average more than $3,000,000 a year. This Indicates the sale of 40,000,000 packs, which alone cost more than $15,000,000. At every race meeting that lasts a week several million dollars change hands at the tracks, It Is estimated. This includes no estimate of the vast aggregate of sums wagered at places distant from the tracks through betting commissioners. ' " j Human Fly Helps Anchor Shabby Walls New York.--Aided by a "human fly," workmen assumed the hazardous task of anchoring tottering walls of the nine-story Strathmore apartment and store building at Broadway and Fiftysecond street, half of which collapsed Wednesday, burying, It Is believed, seven woi kmen In debris. / While the steeple jack In the glare of powerful searchlights scaled the walls and at each tier made fast cables nnchored In the center of the structure, a corps of firemen dug In tons of brick and plaster below searching for bodies of victims. snow pass about 18,000 feet lilgh. The weather was at first exceedingly bad, but conditions became better later. There was no rain on lower level, although occasional snow showers were met higher up. Considerable difficulty was experienced when returning, ow ing to the depth of new snows on the Slkkhim side, which were probably due to the bad weather experienced in the latter part of September. Finally the party reached Darjeeling In the mid die of October, having been away over a month. Attempt Made in 1899. It Is Interesting to recall that I similar attempt was made by Douglas W. Freshfleld in 1899. Mr. Freshfleld was led to undertake the exploration by the' fact that owing, as he says, partly to cost and the difficulty of travel in Slkkhim and partly to the obstacle presented by the Nepali frontier, no European had up to the end of the nineteenth century gone around the mountain. Even Sir Joseph Hooker did not approach near enough to explore the glaciers of the giant. As for official surveys, these, according to Mr. Freshfleld, have al ternately ignored and caricatured the glaciers. Mr. Freshfleld did not think much of his tour from a climbing point of view, "It is, of course. Impossible," he writes, "to go up 'and down 75,000 feet without some climbing in the popular sense of the word, but In the technically Alpine sense we had far too little mountaineering for my taste. Rope and Ice-ax played but a vepj| subordinate part In our Journey." Workman of Delaware, O., Evolves Elaborate Hand-Carved Affair From Walnut. Delaware, O.--After 25 year* of tedious labor, C. <3. Cregmlle has completed his construction of a grandfather's clock here. The clock, on display In a local •tore window, is hand carved. It was made out of solid black walnut which formerly constituted part of a pulpit lrt the old William Street Methodist chnrch here. All polishing, carving and fitting was done at odd moments by Mr. Cregmlle. . x Standing eight feet six Inches high, the clock is beautifully carved on its •Ides and face panels. %AU cutting is original. No design wa ; followed. Mr. Cregmlle, although oC^red good money for the unique masterpiece, has offered to sell It for a relatively •mall sum to the William street church. The clock is built so that it will house cathedral tubular chimes. INDIANS NOW 336,337 Estimate of Population Is Given Out by Commissioner. Increase of 31,387 for Last Ten Years Is Shown--Total Area of Indian Lands 589,111 Acres, Green Bay, Wis.--The Indian population of the United States, according to Cato Sells, commissioner of Indiun affairs, is 336,337, as against 304,950 ten years ago, showing an increase of 31,387.
