At a recent carnival attended by the writer, says a contributor to Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn Independent, a maii lost a total of $183 playing oncfvof the socalled games of skill. It was an ouirigm sieai. iu? muu -was a member of the fraternal order lodge that was supplying the auspiees for the carnival. I lji this particular carnival show there were 25 game booths, three "rides,'* two palmists, and ?ix "shows." Each of the shows was 90 per cent fraud?that is. virtually nothing was given in return for- the- admission fees ;harged. At another carnival there w$re 21 games, five "rides" and six 'shows." At one which heralds itself as flie very best, there were 13 shows, 35 games and five rides. At all "carnivals" children were permitted and even urged to play the "games." The only thing that can be said for that is that they never win anything, and thus in some cases the experience may serve as a discour* ageinent to gambling. Operation of the carnival show is characerized by two features not common to other branches of the commercialized amusement I,,^,..1.1 t kim , c i tin ..1,11 today will think of bobbed hair 20 years from now. Servant Oirl Wouldn't Go in Cellar, fearing Rat#. Mrs. Tepper, Plainfield, N. J. says, "Rats were so bad in our cellar the servant girl wouldn't go there.

The other, general but with a! few exceptions, of subordinating amusement to what esentially is gambling?and worse. Therefore, as n business, its appeal primarily is not to men with the showman's instinct. Most of its followers arc not showmen in any sense of the word; even when showmen, with scattering exceptions, they are of the third-rate kind. They are not, as were the medicine showmen of old, who in part were the progenitors of the modern carnival operators, good fakers. Everest Peak Unattainable. Mount Everest has again protected the secrets ot its snow covered summit from the,'prying eyes of man. The second, British expedition has failed to climb ,to the peak ol' the highest mountain .11 me world. Brig. Gen. C\ G. Bruce,, head of the English expedition, which made the lateHt attempt to climb the famous mount of India, has been forced to the conclusion that persistence in an efiort to scale the peak would result only in useless tragedy. Frost bite, which has assailed members of the party, promise of more bad weather, and the advice of physicians and mountain authorities forced him to the decision to abandon the attempt. ri .. 1-4.. ? A A A % 1 uen. oruce s attempt nas oeen named a "glorious failure" by authorities on mountaii^ conditions. His attempts proved that the summit of Mount Everest is unattainable, at least at present. The English group climbed to a point about 1,700 feet from the top, reaching an altitude of about 27,300 feet. . Explorers would be able to go to nearly a thousand feet from the top if an expedition started out earlier in the summer, naturalists of India think. Even then a superhuman efofrt would hove to be made and explorers would set out with almost a certainty that they would never return. It will soon be time fo$ Lloyd George to meet and defeat another crisis. Wonder what the flappers of ANNOUNCEMENT?.
