On this list is placed the name of Lawrence Grassi of Canmore, Alta., who carried on his back, over two miles of treacherous rock and glacier, a companion who had been injured during a descent ,from the top of Bastion Peak of the Ram- part Range. The accident, of which Dr. R. C. Wiliams of Calgary was the victim, was a simple one, a compound frac- ture of an ankle, caused by a slip from a loose rock near the peak of the motintain, but it occurred under conditions which might have been serious had there not been pFesent some one of such resourcefulness as Grassi. The point where Dr. Williams was injured was one where the rock slides are imminent at ail hours, and where to leave any one unable to help himséif was to court disaster. Real- izing this, Mr. Grassi carried his un- foftunate. companion on his back down the steep slope, across the Drawbridge Glacier, and beyond it to the fcot of the rocks Jnto the mbes line, Jhere Ses Univers Latiguage : Emerging From Radio Amsterdam --The coming of a uni- | versal _anguage for scientific and com-' mercial purposes as a resut of inter- rational radio broadcasting was pre- dicted to-day by David Sarnoff, vice- president of the Rddio Corp. of Am- erica, in an address before the Inter- | national Federation of ~~ Univers't Women, The country emerging as a world centré of radio-communication is like- dents will conduct another campaign. | ia ly to give the world its first Buiversal language.

Added to this is the always present danger of rock-slides from above, sides that shoot tons of boul- ders down the slopes with a sound like the discharge of a battery. of fied guns. The Drawbridge Glacier lies on a steep slope, and is about a mile wide. Its face is seamed with crevices into which any one but the most sure- footed could tumble to disaster. Below it again is a rock-strewn slope of an- other mile or more, where boulders are heaped in great masses, often higher: than an ordihary house. It was over this ground that Mr. Grasei, who received his Alpine train- | ing along the Dolomites of the Malian Tyro. Range, carried his companion | with a speed that amazed even the most experienced members of the cub.
