CAVELL BETRAYER I
JIGHEST POINT IN
STATE IS 3322 FEET.
In a statement issued today by Dr.
jeorge H. Ashley, State Geologist in
he Pennsylvania Department of In-
ernal Affairs, the geologist tells
jomething about Pennsylvania's high
jpots and how they are measured.
As a rule mountain climbers are
nore interested in the height and
teepness of mountains measured
rom their bases than they are in
eight above sea level. Thus the
righest point in the State is 3220 feet
bove tide. On the ground this is
mly a 150-foot knob that rises above
he general upland on the top of
Jegro Mountain in Somerset county.
feasured to the nearest large stream
_Casselman River, four miles away,
he height of this mountain is only
,620 feet, which is exceeded by many
ther mountains of Pennsylvania.
The figures given beyond were
npeasured from the topographical
naps and are not complete or final,
8 topographic mapping in Pennsyl-
‘ania has not been finished.
First honors go to Big Mountain,
. part of Tuscarora Mountain, 2%
niles north of the Lincoln Highway,
vhich at 2,440 feet above tide is 1820
eet above the West Branch of Cono-
ocheague Creek 1%, miles away. A
lose second is near Eagles Mere in
wullivan county where North Moun-
ain Tower on North Mountain is
598 feet above tide, while Muncy
reek 2.3 miles off is 798 feet, a dif-
erence of 1,800 feet. Close behind
he leaders are a bunch of hills over
750 feet high. Thus Jacks Moun-
ain 13 miles north of Juniata Riv-
r is 2340 feet above tide, 1770 feet
bove the river which is only 570
eet above tide. Wills Mountain near
Vills Creek station is 2720 feet above
ide or 1760 feet above Little Wills
reek at 960 feet. Laurel Hill south
f Youghiogheny River is 2900 feet
bove tide or 1750 feet above the
iver at 1250 feet only 1.4 miles to
he northwest. These are among the
10st outstanding climbs considering
orizontal distance as well as height.
To realize what these heights mean
- is well to recall some other well
nown elevations—well known be-
ause on main lines of travel. For
xample: 1,800 feet is more than
ouble the height of the mountains
1 the water gap of Peters Mountain
orth of Harrisburg. The river at the
ap is 320 feet above tide and the
op of the mountain is 1,200 feet on
he east side and 1,120 feet on the
rest side of the river, a difference of
»ss than 900 feet. Second Moun-
ain gap south of Dauphin is a little
eeper, the top of the mountain .4 of
mile from the river being 1320
set, giving a depth to the gorge of
,000 feet. Delaware Water Gap is
,200 feet-deep, the river being 285
set above tide and the mountain top
_ of a mile away 1,480 feet on the
rest and 1,520 feet on the east.
‘onemaugh Gap through Laurel
.idge west of Johnstown is 1,490
set deep, the river being at 1,230
set and the mountain top on the
rest side is 2,720 feet high. Mann's
larrows on the William Penn High-
ray above Lewistown is 1,220 feet
eep, the mountain tops at-1,860 feet
bove tide are that high above
-ishacoquillas Creek which is 580
set above tide, .4 of a mile distant.
llegheny River runs through a
orge in most of its course in Penn-
ylvania, but the hills arer only 600
) 700 feet above the river and com-
only less. At Pittsburgh the very
reep bluff just above Brilliant cut-
# is 530 feet high. Johnstown has
n inclined plane that is 500 feet
igh. The reservoir on the hill near-
y is about 610 feet above Stony
‘reek.
un on the main line of the Pennsyl-
ania Railroad approaching Horse-
10e Curve from the west is just |
000 feet deep at its deepest point,
je stream having an elevation of
480 feet and the mountain top of
480 feet. The railroad at the same
oint is 1,850 above tide or less than
alf way up the flank of the moun-
yin. Near the toe of the Horseshoe
urve itself there is a
levation of 1,040 feet from the low-
» reservoir to the hill at the north.

NE-EYED CARS MENACE
LIVES SAYS AUTO CLUB
-
Glaring headlights again loom as
breeder of automobile accidents ac-
>rding to the Keystone Automobile
lub, which in a bulletin recently di-
scted attention of motorists to this
lenace and urged them to take prop-
» measures for their own safety and
1at of other users of the highway.
«Dazzling, blinding lights are en-
rely unnecessary,” says the bulletin.
With thousands of official adjusting
-ations located throughout the State,
‘here adjustments are made at a
ominal cost, there is no excuse
‘hatever for motorists to continue
ight driving lights that are out of
cus.
“Many fatal accidents have been
aused by cars leaving the highway
ecause their drivers were blinded by
pproaching headlights and, similarly
1any head-on collisions have occur-
sd with injury to the occupants of
1e colliding machines.
«It is well, also, for drivers to re-
ect on the hazard of driving with
nly one headlight. ‘One-eyed cars
ite high in the tabulation of acci-
ent causes. The menace of this
ractice is so apparent that we can-
ot conceive of any driver wilfully
peeding along the highway with but
ne light functioning. Yet the large
umber of such cars to be seen on an
vening’s drive forces observers to
se conclusion that the condition can-
ot exist without the knowledge of
10torists.
«With the summer season under
ray, motorists will do well to look to
reir lighting and other equipment,
* the accident toll is to be kept with-
1 bounds.

IN LIVING DEATH.
Spurned even by the dregs of so-
ciety among whom he is doomed to
spend the rest of his life, George?
Quien, who betrayed Edith Cavell, the
heroic English war nurse, into the
hands of the Germans to be shot asa
spy during the World War, is living
a terrible life on Devil's island, the
French penal colony in South Amer-
Not a man will speak a word to
Lum.
Quien still maintains that he is in-
mocent of the charge which doomed
him to life imprisonment, but his
lawyers long ago gave up their ef-
forts to obtain him a new trial. His
parents have died of shame in Paris,
and his name dare not be spoken
among those who live in the village
where he once was a well liked neigh-
or.
_ Quien has no work to do, for the
simple reason that other convicts will
suffer punishment rather than associ-
ate with him. The guards whose duty
it is to carry him his food leave their
trays at the door of his lonely hut
and hasten away lest he address a
single word to them.
Many times the authorities have
frustrated plots to kill Quien, for
they dare not permit him to be killed
in spite of their hatred for him. It
is significant, however, that the men
who have been caught plotting to kill
Quien never have been punished.
Quien, who at the beginning of his
imprisonment was a strong, healthy
man, today has wasted away until he
is a mere skeleton.
