"K0r ''that retrsorrtho organization hits f!Onflnod itself to purchase of gov ernment and munlcipnl bonds In the past. In this case, however, it became necessary to acquire our own headquarters proporty or suf fer a loss through exorbitant rent. We bought nt a bargain and I am , reliably advised that our nev in vestment will prove one of 'the most profitable we have over had. The .Investment can be reduced to n comparatively smnll sum at any time by sale of surplus land." -Hesldes Its trade regulntlon ac tivities and tho Union rrlntors' Home, tho union maintains nn old age pension system, tnortunry bene fits and a department of appren tice education, all of which are administered nt hendquortors.

W. G. Hingston, who accom panied the last Mt. Kvetejt expedi tion as medical officer. In a recent lecture before the Itoyal Geographical Society, the major said the difficulties: of the ascent were enormously increased by the slightest exertion. . Somer vell, one of the climbers, made a record of his breathing (it 27,000 feet, at which altitude he had to have seven, eight and ten complete respirations for every single step forward. Kven at that slow rate of progress he had to rest for a min ute or two every 20 or H0 yards. At 28.000 feet Norton, another climber, in an hour's climb ascend ed only Mi feet. This was thiM'.lgh- point reached without tlio aid of oxygen. The climbers wero sur prised that they could even make such strenuous efforts, and Hlill more that they could remain In comparative comfort when they sal down to rest. The strain at that altitude was immense. .- High altitudes. Major lliugsloii declared, affected the operation of the mind.
