AN ALUMINIUM AREoPLANE
Invented by Young Washington State
Inventor Proves q Success.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 28.-Reginald
Weathersby, % years old. who lives at
Spanaway lake, II miles south, has
achieved triumph in aviation. after
three years experiment that gives him
high rank as an aeronaut.
He has completed and successfully tried
out his aluminium aeroplane, circling,
with two others aboard, the summit of
Mt. Rainier Wednesday night. They
alighted on the rim of the crater at an
elevation nearly 1900 feet, sailing off
again over snow fields.
Weathersby is Boston Institute of
Technology boy and has developed his
model at his unce's home.
A new feature of his machine is the
substitution of a system of undulating
planes for the ordinary revolving propeller
by which he has demonstrated speed of
12O miles an hour without vibration or jar.
His machine is made Of thin sheets of
aluminium, reinforced with steel frame
and has a long neck-like front, acting as
steering point and making resistance
slight. The aviators sit in the body of
the machine, tandem style, and along the
under side of the long body are undulat-
ing planes which, working back and forth.
shoot the machine forward like a rocket.
These planes work in four separate sets,
so there is never period of rest but con-
tinuous rush ahead.
In case of accident the machine sails
for half hour or more. gradually de-
scending. The inventor says the balance
undulating motion of wild geese gave him
his first idea Expert machinists pro-
nounce the machine the greatest marvel
in aeronautics and are certain to spread
the fame Of Weathersby throughout the
world.
The inventor is arranging to give public
exhibitions in Tacoma and Seattle in Jam
uary. H.a3

CONDITIONS IMPROVING
But Food Supply is Now Serious
Question in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2S.-With food
products becoming scarcer and their
prices consequently higher with street
railway traffic uncertain and slow and
with many railroad trains arriving late
Philadelphia is still busy raising the
blockade caused by the great Christ
mas snowstorn. With the opening OF
all transportation lines business is
rapidly reviving, but the most serious
problem TO be met is the food supply
Only % per cent. OF the daily milb
supply reached the city yesterday and
wholesale milk dealers estimated that
today's supply would be - per cent
below normal.
Eggs. vegetables and other food
products are scarcer than they were
yesterday and prices have gone up al
around
Passenger trains are still running g
little late. The suburban traffic is alst
greatly improved over that of yester-
day. although it is still in a somewhat
tangled state.

would limit the danger of the present

so confused that Halls resolution
was adopted as a compromise.
REPRESENTATIVES, from Cornell and other
institutions not directly represented in the
association suggested that rules minimiz-
ing the danger in the sport would be &C
ceptable. 1t was the concensus of opinion
that the rules regulating mass play ana
the running tackle, otherwise known as
the flying tackle, and playing through the
line, would have to be done away with.
The representatives of large colleges eX-
pressed themselves not only in favor OF
this but conveyed the threat that they

football or would withdraw from the as
