5 Colleges Form
Air Association:
Plan Race May 8
Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Columbia and Williams
Founders of Great Uni
versity Aviation Club

The Intercollegiate Flying Associa~
tion was formed yesterday by repre-
sentatives of Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Columbia and Williams colleges
for the purpose of adding aviation to
the list of annual contests between
the leading universities of the coun-
try.
The new association was formed at
a special meeting in the library of the
American Flying Club, at II East
Thirty-eighth Street. The representa-
tives Of the five universities were all
officers of the flying clubs of their
colleges which are formed almost ex
clusively of former service avators.
Immediately after the association
was formed it was decided to noid the
first air race among the university
members on May s next. This race
will be modelled on the new York
Toronto and transcontnental air races
organized by the American Flying Club.
1t will be a cross-country race among
the cities represented by the univcr-
sites, with obligatory stops on the
landing ground of each college. Each
three contestants in the race
In the bylaws of the association its
objects are stated as follows: To COM
bine all separate flying clubs for the
purpose of promoting and furtherin :,
aviation through the holding of inter
collegiate aviation races; for the ac-
quisition of aircraft landing places,
and by other kindred means promu
eating aviation among college men.
The officers Of lhc association
elected by the delegates yesterday
were: President Leonard e. Thomas,
of Harvard; vice president, Ronald
Cragmyle, of Columbia; secretary, r.
Kenneth Perry, of Williams; treas
urer, Juan Trippe, Of Yale.
Arrangements have been made for
apon application, and vote of the
members. 1t was specifically decided
that only undergraduate Of colleges
who are members Of the association
can compete in the annual race. A
number of organizations have signl~
fed their intention of Offering suitable
trophies to be competed for bv the
universities, and the Cleveland Avia-
tion Club has already given a trophy
Leonard Thomas, president of the
sociation, said: "Thc formation OF
the association is q patriotic move by
the men who fought the air during
the war. Its chief object is to help re-
store to this country the position it
has lost in the development of aviation,
and to awaken the country to the
urgent need Of developing our aerial
resources. The colleges were the source
of aviators during the war, and the
annual contests will keep alive keen
interest in flying, and help to develop
new pilots from year to year.,

Miss Alice MOncrieH
Gives Song Recital
Aeolian Hall Audience Hears
Compositions of Francis
HopkinsOn

Miss Alice Moncrieff, whose recital
two weeks ago was cut short before it
began by the blowing out of fuse box,
took place yesterday afternoon at
Aeolian Hall. Miss Moncretf's voice is
not large, nor is it particularly warm,
but it is smooth and uniform in timbrc,
is easily produced, and it is used with
taste and discretion. The singer was
at her best in the opening group, which
depended upon style rather than depth
or intensity Of emotion. Dowlands
Come Again" and the two songs of
Francis Hopkinson, "Cive Me Thy
Heart" and "O'cr the Hills" Miss Mon
crieff gave with an admirable huency
and command of legato, but she was
less effective in Brahms's "Dcspair
refectiop was~-aroused by the two
Hopkinson songs which might be
turned to the benefit of the believers
in American music. Francis Hopkin
son was an American and he lived in
the eighteenth century. The two songs
heard yesterday afternoon were very
graceful, even beautiful, examples of
the best of period English songs. We
wondered after hearing them whether
musical art in America has shown any
advance over the year 1901, the date of

Philadelphian Explains Plan
to Get Energy From Air
by a Simple Device That
Will Eliminate Cost
Also Would Run Autos
League of Nations AS
sailed in Papers Read
at St. Louis Convention
Spscial Correspondenca

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 3o.-H. II. Platt,
OF Philadelphia. mechanical engi-
neer. in an address to day before the
mathematics and astronomy section of
the convention of the American As
lsociation for the Advancement Of
Science, suggested a method by which,
he said, energy could be drawn from
the atmos sphere, and which, he believed,
could be used to provide heat, light
and power free in every household.
Piatt insisted that sufficient energy
could be extracted from the air by his
process to heat houses. He urged the
|sccntis.s to aid in developing this new
source of fuel $50 as to relieve coal
oppressed humanity"
The device Platt suggested to utilize
the energy contained in sunlight con-
sists Of very thin sheet of metal
perforated with many small holes.
which are prepared in such way that
air molecules. bearing energy, will pass
Through it more easily in one direction
than in the other.
No Operating Cost
According to the accepted theory, the
pressure which air exerts on given
surface is the sum of the impacts on
it of rapidly moving molecules. If
these molecules can pass through q
sheet Of metal more readily in one di
rection than in the other, the result
would be q slightly unequal pressure
|and the sheet of metal would tend to
move toward The side of least pressure.
BY mounting number of such
partly irrevers BILE permeabe mem
branes" on a shaft like paddles on q
mill wheel, Plat asserted, a compact
nnd powerful engine could be pro
Euced. The paddle wheel would turn,
generating power through its axis and
ut the same time removing neat energy
from the air passing through its
eaves-a feature that would make it
adaptable for use as rcfrigerating
machine.
Mr.. Plat depicted the householder
bf the future possessing chear
machine which will furnish light, heat
and power, and produce cold air for
cooling the house in summer. The
operating cost would be nothing.
Ry extending his suggestion to We
hicles, Mr.. Platt said. it would be pos
kible to mount such membranes on the
wheels of streetcars, automobiles and
locomotives in such way as to oper-
hte them without cost and do away
