RUNYON MAKES BIG
OFFER TO AVIATORS
Will Give $1,000 to First to Fly
From San Francisco TO Top
of Mt. Tamalpais

One thousand dollars is as good as
waiting on the TOP Of Mount Tamalpais
for the first hin climbing aviator who
VIII fly from san Francisco to the
Marin county summit. c. +. Runyon.
president of the Mill Valley and Tamal-
pals railway, has made that offer and
is anxious that it be accepted.
RunyOn went TO Los Angeles Friday
10 attend the aviation meet and 10 con-
fer there with the aviators who are
circling the higher attitudes over the
southern county. George Lippmann,
travelling passenger agent of the road,
preceded him TO the Dominique avia-
ti0n field and entered into negotia tions
with the flying men before Runyon ar
rived. The presence in Los Angeles OF

WOULD ALLOW EASY STAGES

II would not be required, RunyOn
outlined, that the flyer make one hop
from San Francisco TO the top Of Tamal-
pals. That would mean a flight of Is
miles in the air and TO an altitude OF
$500 feet. A Is mile fight is in Itself
q noteworthy trip. and to raise $500
feet would be a distinct achievement,
although Paulhan has on separate Oc-
casions gone that far and that high.
But to combine such a long trip with
one so high would be a difficult feat,
particularly as there would be a great
body Of water 10 cross at the outset
Runyon would allow the aviator TO
make the trip by stages. 4 fight from
san Francisco TO Mil valley, while x
would involve the hazard Of crossing
san Francisco bay at its breeziest
stretch would not seem particularly
dangerous to an accomplished aviator.
Nor would q fight from Mill Valley to
the top Of Tamalpais be an eXtraor-
dinary performance for the wonderful
flying men.
With such an arrangement Runyon
believes that he has good chance to
secure a contest. SO far Runyon's offer
has been the only definite inducement
put forth TO bring the birdmen from
Los Angeles TO san Francisco Since
they are now in the west Runyon
thought that it would be a misfortune
for san Francisco to lose all opportu-
nifty of seeing their wonderful achieve
ments.
TRIP ENTIRELY FEASIBLE
Il have made this offer of $1,000 to
be paid to the first aviator who flies
from san Francisco to the top of Tamal-
pals said Runyon. y am in earnest in
the matter and viii make every effort
to have the trip attempted. II is feast
bic in the light Of the magnificent
achievements which the aviators have
performed If there is any possible
chance Of the aviators being brought to

BOSTON, Jan. 16.-Leading theoso-

Sidis. II year old boy wonder, dIar-
ward student, whose mathematical
genius has startled the greatest mathe-
maticians of America, is the reincar-

carnated spirit or being ranked higher
than most of human kind
When young Sidis was less than 2
years old he learned to talk, read and
spell, all at the same time
When he was 3 years old he could
use typewriter, and at 4 he had be-
come an expert operator. He was also
much interested insfairy stories, but in
stead of amusing himself, as most chill
dren do by relating the stories over
