Philadelphia, December 29.-Nearly
1000 persons were vaccinated to-day
in the Italian quarter in the lower
part Of the city after case of small
poX had been discovered in that Sec
ton. The incubation was performed
by corps of physicians under the d.
rectIon of the bureau of health. The
entire square where the disease was
found was roped off and loo policemen
stood guard while the doctors vacci-
mated the people.
Four cases of the disease we're found
among Italians in West Philadelphia
few days ago and several hundred
persons there also were compelled to
undergo vaccination.
The health authorities have traced
the disease TO an Italian woman who
recently arrived from Italy. She was
found to have smallpox after she had
mingled with people in the Italian
quarter downtown and in West Phil
adelphia. The authorities said to-day
there is no cause for alarm over Il
possible spread of the malady.

ago, Simmons has been addressing
good roads rallies, and next, they
will be going to Farmers Union

of1ice-seekers are following up these
non-political meetings for no other
purpose than to further their own
interests. 1t is a shame that people
of the State who are not interested
in this scramble for Office on the
part of Democratic politicians must
submit to their butting into every

such conduct. Wouldn't it cause a

stationary in his glider, with which
he is conducting experiments in trial
stability. He was up 9 minutes and
Is seconds and maintained an alti-
tude of approximately $50 feet.
The record-breaking flight" was
the seventeenth Of the series that be-
gan to-day when the rain ceased. The
first glide lasted only "a seconds,
each lengthening until the final one.
The success of the experiment is I'M
derstood here to mark a long step
forward in the science Of aviation
and to point the way toward solving
the problem of automatically preserv-
ing the equilibrium of heavier-than-
air machines.
When Lorin Wright and Alexander
Ogilvie, the English aviator, brought
out the machine for the initial flight
the wind gauge showed that the gale
was thirty-five miles and freshening
Sand carried by the wind pelted the
aviators, the tiny particles cutting
like small shot. In the opinion of
the experimenters no more trying
weather conditions, under which to
make the test Of the machine, could
be found.
The glider was equipped with a
rear rudder of 24-foot spread. In
front, to preserve the balance, a 10
pound bag of sand was swung on
the end of rod extending eight feet
in front of the aviator's seat.
The ailerons, or balancing wings
on the sides of the machine, were ad-
justed and Orville Wright lifted him
self into the seat.
''Let it co." he shouted. Lorin
Wright and Ogilvie thrust the glider
into the face of the rising gale and
it shot up. Again and again this
was repeated, each flight becoming
lepgthier until for almost ten min
utes Wright scared like a brooding
buzzard ON the rush of a fffty-mile
gale.
