By Charles Sughroe i in \»VW MOT WAIT TUV HE POES IT \<MAT IF ooerw rr AGrAin^ America’s Highest Peak Photographed Mt McKinley and Environs Registered on Film. Washington, D. C.—North Ameri ca’s highest peak—Mt. McKinley in Alaska, rising to an altitude of 20,- 300 feet—has, for the first time, been photographed intimately from the air. The pictures, both still and in motion, were taken by Bradford Washburn, leader of the National Geographic society’s Mt. McKinley expedition sent to Alaska last July, who has just made a preliminary Ivport to the society’s headquarters here. Some of the photographs were made on infra-red-sensitive film. . In a series of four flights from the Pan American Airways base at Fairbanks, Alaska, Mr. Washburn succeeded in photographing a vast expanse of the rugged terrain be tween Mt. McKinley and Mt. Hayes. Use Infra-Red Ray. The pictures reveal the highest territory under the American flag. DINNER DRESS Life’s Motivating Forces By LEONARD A. BARRETT I r The simple classical line and coat- trast of color distinguish this din ner dress of black celanese crepe with interesting trim of white satin The skirt drapes gracefully to the floor, with a short train, and the sleeves are tight to the wrist. They also mark the first use, in the region, of infra-red ray photogra phy, which makes it possible for the same photograph to show the town of Fairbanks and the white sum mits of Mt. McKinley and its re lated peaks projecting above the horizon more than a hundred miles away across a haze-obscured plain. The infra-red photographs show why Mt. McKinley can claim one of the greatest heights, froir top to bottom, among the world’s moun tains, since it rises 20,000 feet from a level plain almost without foot hills. Mt. Everest, although 29,000 feet above sea level, actually rises only about 10,000 feet above a lofty plateau region. Because of its near Arctic latitude, Mt. McKinley has a very low timber line and is forbid dingly barren, Mr. Washburn points out. Its expanses of snow and gla cier do not completely cover all its jagged rocky ridges. After flying 500 feet above the top of Mt. McKinley, despite dan gerous air currents, and circling the peak several times, Mr. Wash burn flew straight along the axis of the mountains, taking cloae range photographs In pairs, stereoscopic fashion, at intervals of a minute. He thus obtained a progressive series showing the various peaks in their true relations to one another Werld’s Highest CR*.

In the evening, he carried out the suggestion and to his dismay found the definition to be “a small imitation of the real thing.” Of course, the affectionate wife meant s perfect husband, but an imitation of the “real” never suggests perfection. We cannot live happy or useful lives when we are motivated only by the desire to imi tate sqfne one else. The genuine dollar bill Is imitated by a counter feit bill. In the majority of cases imitation as a directing force de stroys originality and paralyzes re ality.

Some ma chines are so operated that they appear almost like human beings, driving themselves by the force of intelligence and resaon, and yet we know this is not true. Every ma chine, however perfectly it works, must be started, directed, and stopped by some person. Some phi losophers argue that we are not un like machines. This mechanistic theory of life advances the idea that motion and force are the driv ing impulses and that all the events in life can be accounted for by mechanical forces. But we know that something higher and more im pelling than a blind and meaning less force is necessary if we would not be leveled with mere animals where instinct and not reason de termines action. No, the motivat ing force in life is something more A father advised his son who was beginning a business career “to get rich and never mind how he got the riches.” The implication was that the most important moti vating forces are material values. Man must live by bread and he cannot live without it. True, but when the physical and material ne cessities dominate, tragedy inevita bly follows. Here-.is the source of our suicides and mental breaks, be cause no restraining force is left after the collapse of the material. The human being is of far greater value than a mere object to be fed and clothed. “Eat, drink, and be merry” has long since ceased to be an adequate life motto. Experi ence easily proves that “Not by bread alone is manhood nourished to its supreme estate.” Something far more permanent and valuable is needed Forces vibrate in character which no mechanist can manufacture Nei ther to character dependent upon food, nor shelter, nor raiment. The true end reel motivating forces m life ere spiritual—the power to think, to will, to love, and to obey. These forces do not come to us from without We already have them within. It is a quetUon of whether or not we chooee to use them in our daily life. These forces within us sound this caution: “Be not like dumb driven cattle; Be a hero in the strife.” C Western Newspaper Unto*. sad reproductions ef them. • where in evidence.
