CREAKING at a luncheon of the Japan Society Mr. A. F. Thomas dealt very frankly with the subject of some of the "Obstacles to Anglo- Japanese Understanding."

Mr. Thomas Erst of all blamed English ignorance of the geography, history and culture of Japan. He in- stanced an Englishman in the City who said to him: "So you're from Japan.

"SPIRITS" SOLVE A RIDDLE

Famous Mountaineers

Disappearance

THE inystery of the sudden dis-

appearance of George Mallory. the famous mountaineer, when he was only a few hundred feet from the suminit of Mount Everest, during the expedition of 1034, is claimed to have been solved.

Members of the expedition watch- ing Mallory and his companion Irvine through field glasses as they neared the summit, were surprised to see the two figures vanish before their eyes.

But Mr. Francis S. Porter, of Lex- ham Gardens, London, George Mal- lory'a friend for fourteen years, and a former schoolmuster at Charter- house, claims to have had spiritualist conversations with Mallory, and to have learned the truth of the dis- appearances.

FROZEN TO DEATH

"Not till slx years after Mallory had passed over did I get a mes- soge," Mr. Porter told a Sunday Re- feree reporter.

"In his first words to me he rallyed his last moments on the mountain.

"They were in sight of the sum- mit. Then Irvine fell. Mallory went back to him and gave him the Iust few drops from his flask.

"It was too late for them to turn buck. Provisions hud, rup short. Mallory decided to no on alone, but as he neared the top he suddenly became giddy.

"He was frozen to death and his body blown away and covered with

snow."

"For instance,' Willmarth said, "a student is out walking with his girl on the campus, We arrange a dele- gation of four to walk up to the couple and congratulate the student on some feat he performed, stap him on the back, ete."

"Thja service," Willmartli con- tinued, "goes over big with the fresh- men football players. We charge twenty-five cents for it."
