Fine Weather Imperative
for Climbing Mt. Everest
—
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 21.—The most obvi
! ous difficulty which had to be en
I countered in the attempted ascent of
Mount Everest was that of breathing, ;
j according to Major R. W. G. Hings
; ton, who accompanied the last Mt.
! Everest expedition as medical offi
| cer.
In a recent lecture before the Roy
al Geographical Society, the major
said the difficulties of the ascent
were enormously increased by the
slightest exertion. Somervell, one of f
the clmbers, made a record of his
breathing at 27,000 feet, at which al
titude he had to take seven, eight or
ten complete respirations for every
single step forward. Even, at that
slow raie of progress lie had to rest
i for a minute or two every 20 or 30
j yards.
At 28,000 feet Norton, another1
climber, in an hour’s climb, ascended
only 80 feet. This was the highest
point reached without the aid of oxy
gen. The climbers were surprised that
they could even make such strenuous
' efforts, and still more that they could
remain in comparative comfort when
they sat down to rest. The strain at
that altitude was immense.
High altitudes, Major Kingston de
clared, affected the operations of the
mind. One member of the expedition
was aware of a dulling of the will
power. Somervell described a lack of
observance at and above 25,000 feet,
i and General Bruce, leader of the ex
| pedition, recorded an enfeeblepient
i of memory.
Regarding the possibility of reach
j ing the summit of Alt. Everest, Maj. |
| Kingston said that though the physi-1
| ological difficulties were undoubtedly
I severe, they could be overcome, but
j favorable weather conditions were
! imperative for success.
U. S. Dominates Market
For Autos In Argentina
(By Associated Press)
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 21—The Unit
! ed States practically absorbed the ira
' portation of automobiles and motor
trucks to Argentina in 1923, accord
j ing to a report just issued by the
| Motorcar Importers Association. The
report, which is based on official rec
ords, shows that out of a total of
30,024 motorcars that entered Ar
gentina during the last year, 29,294
were of North American manufacture.
The value of the cars amounted to 13,
201,114 gold pesos, and to this sum
must be added a further 3,750,779
gold pesos which is the value of mo
torcar accessories imported during
the same period.
The report dwells on the consider
able development of the automobile
trade in Argentina during the last
year, saying 'that the increase of the
importation was 53.2 per cent over
1922, when the trade reached its high
est level. In the city of Buenos Aires
there are at present 19,222 motorcars,
compared with 5,824 in 1925.

est unclimbed mountain on the North

cently by A. H. McCarthy, leader of

attle for Yukon Terriotry May 2.

Flow of Foreign Workers
Begins to Alarm France
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Jan. 21.—The French gov
ernment is beginning to take notice
of ihe ever increasing immigration
which has brot the total of foreign
workingmen in France to about 2,
000,000. This number is approximate
ly five per cent of the total popula
tion, and in official circles it is said
France may soon have to follow the
example of the United States and
limit immigration.
The inflow of workers in 1923 was
approximately 272,000, mostly from
Italy, Poland, Spain and Belgium.
Sixty per cent of these men went to
the devastated regions.
France encouraged immigration af
ter the war because she sorely need
ed men to replace the great wastage
of hand labor from 1914 to 1918. An
noying difficulties, however, have
arisen through the presence of great
numbers of foreigners in what was

once the war zone and the participa
tion of foreigners in communist agi
tation has caused some alarm. There
is an undisguised feeling, that, tho
imported labor has rendered France
great service, she has now about
enough of it, particularly since there
is a strong communistic strain run

ing element.
Mont. Governor Would
Oust Pen. Officials
DENVER, Jan. 20.—William E.
Sweet, as governor and complainant,
today filed in the office of the civil
service commission, charges against
Thomas J. Thynan, warden of the
Colorado penitentiary and nationally
known and George R. Buchanan, dep
uty warden. Removal of both officials
is asked.
The charges accuse Warden Tynan
of permitting prisoners to be shackled
and flogged and otherwise abused; of
having been absent from duty for pe
riods ranging from one to three weeks
time; of intemperate habits, and with
being generally unfit for his post as
warden of the prison. Nearly similar
charges are laid against Deputy Bu
chanan.
One paragraaph of the charges read
as follows:
“That because of the incompetent
and inefficient management of said
penitentiary under said George Bu
chanan, as deputy warden, one, Anto
nio Neroni, an inmate of said prison,
was recently assaulted and murdered,
and that after the said Neroni had
been so assaulted and was suffering
from the mortal wounds which had
been inflicted upon him, the said Geo.
Buchanan, being then and there in
charge of said penitentiary, as such
I
deputy warden, wholly neglected and
refused to provide said Neroni with
medical aid and assistance, and on
the contrary permitted the said Anto
nio Neroni to he thrown into a cell
and there linger and die.”
