AIR ESSAY AWARD
is OFFERED STUDENTS
Prize to Be Given for Best Paper
Presenting Something New
of Scientific Nature.

An award for the best paper on an
aeronautic topic which presents some
thing fundamentally new and scientific
in nature viii be offered American
senior college students or flrSt-year
graduates by the Detroit section Of the
Society of Automotive Engineers. The
award, offered in memory of the late
membership in the society, to be pre-
sented at the closing aeronautic divi-
sion meeting of the Detroit section each
session.
The paper need not be presented at a
society meeting, but In any event must
be submitted to a committee of Judges
not later than January is. Competi-
ton will be national in scope. Papers
must be sent to the Office of the Detroit
section, General Motors Building, De-

maintenance and repair; theory of flight,
history Of aviation, nomenclature, main

INSURANCE PLAN
FOR FLYING CLUBS
Members Would Be Released
From Legal Liability
and Facilitated.

Insurance protection has been ar
| ranged for flying clubs affiliated with
| the National Aeronautic Association
which will release the clubs and club
members from all legal liability as well
as assure them of continuous flying re-
| CARELESS Of the number of accidents or
washouts attending the instruction Of
club members, it was announced last
| night.
The new insurance plan, regarded as
| one OF the most complete aeronautical
| insurance beverages so far arranged,
| was evolved by the executive committee
of the private flying clubs, consisting
OF Edward P. Warner, former Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy for Aeronautics;
William p. MacCracken, jr., former As
ststant Secretary Of Commerce for
AeronauticS, and DR.. George W. Lewis,
director Of research of the national adj
vtsory committee for aeronautics.
Insurance Chief Problem.
In the past insurance has been the
chief problem confronting flying clubs,
as none of the aviation insurance COM
panies has been willing to cover the
risk of irSuring students who are taking
their first solo flights.
In the insurance plan which the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association is now
putting into effect. student solo flights
are lI1CluQeQs n LllgIlllglC WHICH mas
never been attempted before by the in
surance underwater is the absence of
a reinstatement clause. It has been
the custom for insurance companies to
assume liability for one plane only.
In case this was destroyed the insur-
ance automatically was Cancelled. A
new premium was eXacted when the
underwriters purchased for the club a
new ship. Due to the absence of the
reinstatement clause, under the terms
of the N. A. A. policy, no reinState-
ment OF premium is necessary on q
clubs plane. Although seriously dam
aged or a waShout several times, re-
placement Of the plane is made by the
insurance underwriters without the
necessity on the part of the club
members to pay additional premiums
during the life of the policy.
Underwriters Cooperate.
The insurance underwriters are CO.
operating with the National Aeronau-
tic Association in assuming risks which
less than year ago were not remotely
considered by any of the aviation in
Surance companies. Removal of the
reinstatement clause from the insur-
ance contract is the first indication
that the bars are down. Because Of
the rules and regulations of the De-
partment of Commerce governing in
structorS, however, student liability has
been cut to minimum and as a result
aviation insurance companies now are
granting insurance on risks which less
than year ago were considered too
hazardous to undertake on a business
basis.

progressing rapidly with the building

The Chevy Chase Club is lying low

progress. 1t has been learned from
reliable source, however, that the mem
bers are hard at work with their planes
for the coming contests.
John Williams, model plane In

 "An5 Larry, responded Jack With sly grin, i've will have !. IcnecE on the next engineer wno comes up here to sample. would like to catch one of those fellows giving the mine the worst of t. Let's see just how he cut those samples"
 Larry grabed a moil and a sin gie-ja"k. Its like this. Jack, first ae cleaned down the vein to get a fresli exposure, then he took his carblae lamp and blackened two marker lines across the vein to de- f1ne the width of the sample he was jgcins |, cut. These lines were five or six inches apart, I judge. Inn do you remember how he shook of that canvas, laid it on the tiool os the drift and began cut5i.g 8 channel eGuare across the vein? Those channels Ee cut out were about six inches wide and about all lrt3t deep. When he finished the sample, he nld ehout 10 pounds tf broken quartz on the canvas. What I don'tt sec is v'ay he broke up all the big pieces SC particular like be- fore he divided the sample I sup pose, however, he was a particular 2uas and WAS afraid some of the big pieces would change his average cne way or the other. After ha had lhe S9nple all broken down. t-e mixed it by rolling it oD tie IcanVas then he flattened it out and marked it out into four pieces like li.e was cutting a pie. He Ji;. eW away two opposite quarters and be- gan crushing the residue finer. Then he repeated the mixing and cut it again. pie-fashion and re- 5ained the final two quarters of the bic for his samples"
 Wat minute, Jack" Larry re- sporded. Remember how he took out that fancy notebook and did a iot of Wrting-not to mention measuring the width of each sam Iple."
 "Ycs, I guess that takes in all o1 he steps except putting the mum Der cn a piece of paper and wad- ding it into tight square and fin ally putting it on top of the sample as marker. I don't see why we couldn't sample our vein the same
 way? Most of all it takes a goou strong right arm"
