Model of Airplane Will Jump Right Up
Denver, Colorado, April 18th— (United Press). — Airplanes that come straight down have been plentiful.
But it took a Denver inventor, Chas S. Barrett, to make one that will go straight up. If full-sized planes work as well as his model has, air transportation has been revolutionized. The most troublesome problem of the aviator in practical flying is the necessity for a flying field.
The motor power is readily shifted from the usual propeller to the new one and the plane is lifted straight in the air instead of running along the ground before taking off. Harrett has worked at the model and says it worked perfectly.
Barrett's plane, if successful, would alight on top of the postoffice building in the heart of a city, never stop the engine, change pilots and mall pouches and be on its way. It would take them to a remote maintain place in the Grand Canon where men have never been, while observations were made.
The main difference between his plane and the monoplanet is that the wing is circular and so made that it can propel a helicopter with the pull of a lever.
"I do not want to get rich, though the invention is worth a fortune," he said. "There is my guide."
Several inventors have offered to put up money enough to develop the idea, but Barrett is looking for a ceramic kind of a partner.
He pointed to the Bible.
"I want a partner who will follow that, and use the proceeds from his plane for the benefit of mankind."
Karnival Reports are Due Tomorrow at Lates
"The reports from the organizations on their stunts for the Karnival are due now." Nadine Morrison said today. Spencer Gard and Miss Morrison will be at Henley Hall tomorrow from 4:30 to 6 to receive reports and give suggestions or information.
The organizations are to bear the expense of their stunts unless they want to handle concessions, in which case they may get the materials from the concession committee of the W. Y. C. A, and Y. M. C. A.
The Alpha XI Delta and Chi Omega sororites were the first to report, but the other organizations have been rather slow.

What has become of the famous fossil ship? After having been brought before the public so recently with the fanfare of so many columns of newspaper print, is the matter now to die down with the truth about the shoe of the great explorer, Haitian declasse" from many years' disease? Or has it been proved a fraud?
Perhaps Petrified Foot Will Match the Famous Fossil so Upsetting to Modern Science

Chicago, Ill.
The University of Kansas is slightly concerned about the matter. Several students of the University believe that they have found a horse that properly matches the fossil shoe "curt," which, they say, has as usual been wrong in the study and should share in the fame-fetchable campaign of the fossil finders. Consequently they have brought forward a fossil foot to match the fossil shoe. The triaxiase shoe, reported to be from 36 to 360 million years old, found in Nevada and brought to New York by a member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, was made the feature recently of several articles in the New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser. The fossil, which is supposed to hold the imprint of a shoe showing plainly the sole a beveled surface of a bone, found two miles south of Fisher Canyon in Pershing County, Nevada, according to the story, and was put on exhibition at the Herald Square Hotel
According to the writer of the article, all modern science is turned upside down by the discovery. Among other things, it would prove that the human race antedates the ape race. Consequently, man would be the proponent of the monkey, not its deviant cousin the globe. We are compelled to deal with the foal shoe, manufactured by a Triassic shoe maker, some twenty million years before the first monkey appeared on this planet."
Not everyone, however, is so optimistic concerning the authenticity of the ancient shoemaker's work, nor of the shoemaker himself, as is the Globe.
W. D. Matthew, curator of the department of pertebrate paleontology of the American Museum of Natural
history, has pronounced the specimen to be a genuine "fossil" the Globe reports. Herbert P. Whitlock, curator of the department of Minerology at the same museum, says that the fossil is more than a "frake." However, no more than a "frake."
"It is the product of a human hand and was worn on a human foot," the Globe's writer exclaims happily. And its appeals to us to the University of Kansas.
Up in the third story of the Dyche Museum is a fossil foot—a foot cut off just below the ankle. It is a large foot, and would probably fit neatly into a number ten size shoe. Several bunions show plainly and a corn or two. The arch is plainly indicated, and the large toe is very prominent. It was dislaced in strata belonging to ammoniferous sediments several millions of years earlier than that of the fossil shoe. It apparently is a human foot, produced by a humeral race and worn on a human leg. But that's just the trouble—
It wasn't, says H. T. Martin, curator of the department of paleontology at the University of Kansas. And neither was the fossil foot. They are not fakes, he says, merely coincidental representations of the real things.
He explains the "foot" and the probable story of the "shoe" as follows. "The foot is merely a concretion, an accumulation of something like water strongly impregnated with earth and silences matter. This saturated material forms a small object such as a leaf, and continues to coat it until the leaf has disappeared and only the covering is left. This may take any shape and the size will depend upon the time the action is continued." To show this point he displayed a paper that contained of being a nettled clam, with the two shells closed. He opened it and showed within the delicate tracery of a small leaf.
Despite the tremendous odds piled up against them by Mr. Martin, the students here are eagerly awaiting a challenge which their foot against Nevada's shoe.

Tells Interesting Facts
About Rattlers
$7.50
More than 500 students visited the basement of Dyche Museum last week asking to see the large rattler and water moccasin on display there, a museum assistant said recently. The rattler is a fighter and delights visitors with his constant rattling and thetas of breaking through the glass that encages him. The snake has seven rattlers at present. It was received two weeks ago from Arizona, at the same time that the water moccasin up from Texas. The "cotton mouth" called by the line of white that outlines its lips, is also a poisonous shows little signs of life.
Hanging by the cage is a magazine, "The Outer's Recreation," which features a story by Charles A. White entitled "Meet Mr. Rattlesmake." Accompanied to the article, several traditions concerning the ratnakes are untrue.
A rattlesnake does not wear a hat, for every year of his age, but adds one every time he sheds his skin. This happens several times a year. Often
the rattles are broken off. Many people believe that a rattler is particularly dangerous in August when it is temporarily blind. According to the writer of the article, the snake does not become blind, but holds a slight film over the eye at times, due to the loosening of the skin at molting.
A snake often sheds its skin five or six times a year. The covering becomes torn from constant crawling on the surface of a site infected. The snake wriglies its way to a brush pile or other rough object, and rubs its nose against the projection. The skin is torn loose over its head like an olovered glue.
Circus tales to the contrary, a snake does not lose its "bite" after its fangs are pulled. New ones soon replace them, the writer stated, and added that snakes on exhibition are often drugged. Snakes do not hear easily, he said, but locate moving objects through vibration in the ground.
