page Twn FLAMES OF WAR MTJKDEN, Manchuria, An. 29. OP) The flamei and bullets of war spread terror through this key city of Mnncburia today after hundreds of Chinese raider had sprung up in the night and dealt a swift blow at the heart of the Japanese military de fense system. Before daylight most of the many small bandit of Chines had vanished, hut large concentrations of Chinese finerillna were reported only four miles oway at Htm IIopu. At daylight Japanese bombers took the air with orders to "get" them. In Mukden proper, the -largest city i)f rich Mnncburia, ell was confusion after a night of panic, during which the big arsenal and Japanese air base were fired The city's entire fire de partment battled the blnzes, and dur ing the morning succeeded in prevent ing any explosion at tho arsenal and getting that fire tinder control. The air base was extinguished after sev eral old airplanes had been burned. Other damage was slight. The Chineso raiders obviously had a well organized plan of action, so audden and mysterious were their at tacks on strategic defense points shortly nfter midnight Hardly hod the alarm been sounded for Japanese troops and police, when fire broke out at the arsenal and air base, and the wireless station was the scene of hand-to-hand fighting. In one skirmish near the arsenal a Jap anese officer and two soldiers wear ing the uniform of the new state, . Wanchukuo, were slain. The chatter of machine guns and the rumble of tanks soon aroused the populace. The groups of raiders, numbering several hundred each, con tinued ssllies on the Japanese defense scheme. STORY (CONTINUED FRO PAGE I) view of the western country and a clear view of the eastern side bathed in warn sunlight. From the top of the south ridge the climbers encountered rough go Jng, the route leading over steep slopes of loose volcanic ash, jagged rock points to be surmounted, always with the stinging wind and dense fog which obscured the peak and made It impossible to see mors than DO feet ahead. At no time during the climb did the party catch a glimpse of the actual peak till the reached the final chimney. Reaching the top of this ridge, the climbers started across to the final pinnacle. It is this spot that has often thwarted climbers of this moun tain since the route leads along the east side of the ridge, over steep sloping rock ledges which afford scanty foot-holds, around steep rock points and finally up the base of the pinnacle. Following tb lendorshlp of Turn bull, the party had no trouble ne gotiating this stretch, the group go ing slowly, with the man in front showing his Immediate neighbor to the rear the pieces where he could gain his footholds. This place, while steep and going off to a long drop down the east aids of the mountain, af forded solid foot and hand holds and by exerting every caution, little dan ger was felt In crossing. The final pinnacle of Jack Is slight ly more than 100 feet In height. The chimney goes up the center of the south face, leading directly to the summit. The pinnacle was reached at 11:35, about four hours after start ing the climb. This chimney Is higher ami moe difficult than the North Sister chim ney, and is second only to that on Mt. Washington which is the hardest climb In the state. The first pnrt of the chimney consists of a gash about five foH wide and almnt 23 feet high, ranging from about IS inches in depth at the bottom to over three feet at Seeing is NEXT WASHDAY (hEIIOTHERE.KA-IHERINE! f OH, GOOD MORNING f (CANtSTOY A WELL BE SURE f SOTHATlS WHY ") fvES-l DON'T EVEN BOIL MV A J YOU RE THROUGH WITH I I RUTH!

Plenty of band and foot holds present themselves to the climb er in this section of the chimney and In case of a fall one would only drop to the sandy ridge a few feet below. At the top of this perpendicular Bectlon, the chimney deepens and widens, with the rock broken into deep ledges which make the ascent to the last section fairly easy. The Inst section of the chimney presents the hardest problem to the man who takes up the rope since It is a fairly smeoth cliff which slopes off on the east and west sides at a slight angle. This wall is about 15 feet high and after ascending that, the climber comes out on the top M the mountain, heaves a gigantic sight of relief, and promptly cuts off the sigh as he rea lizes that the end of his journey Is not yet, for there, resting tantalizing ucrosH a knife-like ridge, JO feet away, is the brass cylinder containing the record books of the mountuin. After all the work getting to the pinnacle, squirming up its precipitous face and finally reaching the top, you still have to swallow your dignity, re member your foebears, and get right down on your hands and knees, as though you were presenting supplica tions to pacify the awful god of your mountain. You then crawl out over a ridge not more than two feet wide, the sides of which drop dizzily off into the swirling fog on ench side and edge across for about six feet. And then you go still lower because you find the rest of this mountain's "summit" consists of a narrow ridge, 10 inches in width, sticking up like a stone retaining wall from the top of cliffs which form that IftHl-foot sheer drop of the north end of the mountain. You now have your choice of lying flat on your stomach and worming over to the record box, or you can hook your elbows over the ridge and bunch yourself along with your feet dangling around on scarce footing over eastern Oregon. You finally reach the evasive box, straddle the peak and with a feeling similar to the one Paul Bunyan must have felt when he completed the Grand Canyon, and sign your name with numbed fin gers, s stubby pencil and a mental observation regarding the mental con dition of anyone who will do all that to sign his name somewhere. Turnbull took the rope to the pin nacle, reaching the summit in about 15 minutes where he wrapped the cord about a huge boulder, making a se cure support for the remainder of the group. Then, one at a time, the party scrambled up the chimney, hang ing on to the rope and to the rock points jutting out from the chimney sides, till they reached the box. ' By 12:30, all bad signed their names .and the descent was started, the party reaching camp sgain st 5:15 o'clock. For a brief period the fog lifted allowing those on the summit a won derful view of this section of the country. More than 30 lakes could be seen around the mountain, and one could look directly down on Marion lake, just to the north, where the 1030 camp of the Obsidians was lo cated. But after about ten minutes, the wind blew in harder than ever, the fog again whipped and swirled about the peak and the climbers made the descent, numbed by the cold and stung by the fierce wind. The Obsidian club has now made successful ascents of all Three Sis ters, Diamond Peak, Broken Top, The Husband, Mt. Washington, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood, besides the climb of Mt. Rain ier at this year's summer camp. They have never had an accident on any of their climbs. Business College Begins Fall Term The Eugene Business college opened for the fall term Monday with an enrollment of 25. Registra tion will also be held Tuesday. September 6. ' Three teachers are on the staff of the college and courses are of fered in short land, typing, bookkeep ing, accounting, business Knglish, letter writing, spelling, penmanship, arithmetic, general business proce dure and the various office machines including bookkeeper, calculator and adding machine. The school year of the college is divided Into four terms of thrw months each. t believing MUST TRY I IT CAD TUP (. TO DISHES TOO. IT V PASV pN TOE HffNOS J I T AT ICE Rev. Frank S. Beistel, pastor of the United Lutheran church, was the speaker for the union service of protestant churches Sunday evening at the Methodist Episcopal church, using as his text: Psalm 05:0 "O, Come, let us worship and bow down:, let us kneel before the Lord our .Maker. Fdr He is our Cod." The sermon which was especially in spiring follows in part: "The psalmist invites men to wor ship. He recognizes the real need of man's life, and would put him in con scious touch with Clod. In this Pres ence, he can be lifted above the ani malistic part of hiH nature, and be made a fellow with the Infinite, Whatever else the church of Jewus Christ may do by way of organizing its members into societies for charit able, social, or financial purposes, it should never lose sight of the fact that the great objective of all Us en terprise is to bring men and to keep them In touch and fellowship with God. Why do men come to church, any way? Why do you men 'from Wil lamette street, worried with business cares, upend this hour in the church? No doubt, there are various reasons, but fundamentally is your feeling that the church is a good place for you to be. Perhaps you promised your mother years ago you would go to church, and when the memory of her sacred piely comes upon you, you feel somewhat closer to her in Heaven if you can sit within God's church. The church ought to help you. Perhaps the good wife urged you to come. You love this comrade in life and would do much to please her. So, hum you are. You're a better man for sitting besidn your Mary in the worshipful atmosphere of the church your Mary, whose virgin love and life were freely given in your keeping years ago; Mary, who lubored with you to get a home and has made it the haven for your rest and happi ness the best place you know on earth; Mary, the mother of your chil dren, companion with you in the sncred mysteries and joys of parenthood !,'T1b well that she has found within the church assembled for worship forces that gaVe strength and purity to her life. Much finer are you both and stronger are the ties that bind your lives together if your spirits join to night in the presence- of the Divine. We mistake, at times, the forces that rule the universe and lead society to higher levels. We think of engines and machines and banks, and govern ments. Jesus of Nazareth used none of these things but set, in motion forces that np radiated to the ends of the earth and have cheered the hearts qf men everywhere. He taught man to worship Hod, as the great ob jective of Ills ministry. Life is better since He came. Aro here the secrets of the world's troubles and their solutions? Are here to be found the forces that would lead us out of depression, the fears of war, and the crimes of hatred, and up to, the exalted life we" dream of? 1 think they are. And we have been try ing battleships and armaments nnd treaties and laws, nnd they didn'tl aeem to soive our proon ms. xney made no change in the spirit of man. The economic breakdow n of our day is not in the bank, but in the banker, not in the factory, but in the owner nnd workmen, not In tho business, but the men who run it. Here must be found the final and permanent solu tion to any and nil depressions. Jesus 1 think, would call men first to the throne of God before they would go to Geneva and Lausanne. Come, let us worship and bow down. We face n vexed question this fall in dealing with the liquor problem, Ah tho years luivo gune by men have of fered one theory after another of how It could be controlled, and made laws according)', but none have seemed to work. Hatnn's slimy tmil has smeared everyone of them and he has taught his henchmen to evade them nil. We wrote an amendment into the con- ruie BO b menu infill nuu nip iruii stitution of our great nation with the on washday by CAVogfa THROUGH HOURS EARLIER N AND A WHITER WASH THAN 1 EVER I W(SH I HAD CHANGED I RlNSO LONG AGO! ETJOENB REffTPTISrt-flTTAKP hope tbat patriotism would prompt men to respect it there, but It is still evaded. Again we are troubled what to do. One great political party would throw it out bodily and back-track to state control; th. other party would make modifications to correct the new evils that have arisen. For my self, I believe that the amendment is the best that law can do, and shall accordingly work and vote to keep it there. It t I labor under no delusions, thai, however legal enactments may help, it Is not all the way out. The liquor lives because sin lives, and if it is ever to be eliminated completely we must take the Jesus road which leads to the throne of God. This is the only way out. The Mahommedan, pitied by us for his poverty in religiop, has learned to worship. It ts a factor in his life. Each day every Mahommedan wher ever he may be, prostrates himself to the earth when the bell from the minaret sounds the call to worship. His religion teaches bom to avoid st rong d rink a nd he obeys t he heathen Mahommedan! When Chris tians and those who dwell with them learn to worship In spirit and in truth, the bootlegger will lose his job and the armorer his trade., Come, let us worship. Stanwyck Here In New Picture Chalk up another hit for Barbara Stanwyik. In "The Purchase Price," with George Brent, she Is back again in the alluring type of role that has wort for. her so many admirers. The picture opened Bumlay at the Heilig and will play until Tuesday night. As a night club singer who tries to escape the ennui of her life, Bar bara Stanwyck reveals again all the charm, the tremendous dramatic vital ity and the sure touch which htfve marked her pictures. She sings her own songs in the night club se quences. The picture finds Miss Stanwyck, a night club entertainer, going west as a "picture bride" to marry a Dakota wheat farmer. An estrangement oc curring on the night of her wedding, the new wife lasts until an expected visit from an old lover precipitates a quarrel a terrific bnttle between Itrent and Lyle Talbot and makes husband and wife realize their need for each other. An unusually strong supporting cast includes David Landau, Hardie Al bright, Leila Bennett, Murray Kin nell, Matt McHugh and others. Marxes Score in New Comedy Hit If it's, really a long, loud laugh that this country needs, Eugeneans can get their share of it at the McDonald theater where the Four Marx bro thers, more coconnutty than ever, are cavorting about in "Horse Feathers." This time the setting is dear old Huxley college, with all four of the Marx-men determined to fight fiercely for their alma mammy against the threatening gestures of rival Darwin. Groucho is the college president, a post he has accepted because it seems the only way in which he can get his son JSeppo out of college. Zeppo has been a freshman for 12 years. Under Grocho's tutelege be wins his di ploma, his letter in football, and the girl one -at a time, of course after some of the most hilarious sequences this reviewer has yet' seen on the screen, Hnrpo and - Chlco Marx are as whimsically funny ns ever. Hnrpo, as the town dog-catcher, working his way through college, chases canines this time, instead of girls. Now nnd then, however, he errs, but the girls are so pretty that it's quite (he human thing to do.

The fact that leading bankers and business men of the Pacific coast realize this is helping put business lack on its feet, ac cording to II. I Edmunds, president of the United States National bank, who returned Monday from a trip to Scuttle and the Olympic peninsula. Mr. KUmuods talked with a leading banker of Sun Francisco, with Seattle bankers and other businoHS weu dur ing his trip. All were of the opinion that the gold standard is safe. Mr. Kd rounds has made an extensive study of the gold standard himself. "There has been a fcur in many quarters that the country might go off the gold standard." said Mr, Edmunds "but this fear evidently was unfound ed. There is no danger, and apparently has been none. Confidence has im proved, and as business is based upou credit, and credit upon confidence this will reflect a betterment in business conditions." ' Mr. Edmunds gave two reasons why the United States-will not go off gold, as follows: 1. Unemployment has caused men to go into the hills to prospect for gold, and this is adding to the gold stock. 2. Low prices in the United States and Europe have attracted gold from the orient. "In Lane county we have seen the increase in gold activity," he said. "Peoplo are going into the hills here to prospect .and mines have been- re opened .This condition is general over the country. The gold now being brought out has added to the supply and helped conditions. "The gold from the orient comes principally from India. It is Bent here in payment of the balance of trade, and has added to the gold supply. It is shipped in the form of bullion." ' Mr. Edmunds motered around the loop trip on the Olympic peninsula. sir (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) Hampshire hare been added to the list.

Spider With Monkey Face Is Found Here A ' two-faced spider, known as a "monkey f need" spider, was found on u butterfly bush Monday morning by John Seavey, of Hop Island near Goshen. This is thought to be. an unusual variety of spider, found only rarely and mostly in the eastern part of the, United States. The spider is of a light tan color, about an inch long with eight large legs and two small legs or feelers at the head. The monkey face feature is on the main body of the spider, the "face" consisting of a triangular shaped section of the body, with two prominences or horns at the top, two tiny dots resembling eyes and a sort of nose. It is on exhihithm at the office of the Register-Guard. ThiB is the first time such a spider has been seen in this vicinity, Mr. Seavey believes. He says he has seen it mentioned in mngnzines as being of a rare type of spider.
