BABSON FORECASTS FREE GENERATING POWER

Babson Park, Mass. March 2. 1t
has long been thought by scientists
that the sun should some day give
us free power. Unfortunately, the
clouds and storms have prevented
this. Furthermore, nations in diff
ferent latitudes would get different
amounts of sun power. and all
latitudes would get varying power
according to the time of year.
Harvesting Power OF Gravity
/ again call readers attention to
the work which the Gravity Re-
search Foundation of New Boston,
NH. is doing in fundamental ply
sizes. By giving grants to colleges
the Foundation hopes to interest
students in harnessing gravity to
supply free power anywhere in
small units. But first il must dis
cover a partial insulator, or absor-
ber. of gravity.
The Foundation now has the
worlds best files on gravity and is
giving $1,000 annual awards for the
best original essays upon the sub
ject. These essays average over
eighty a year and come from the

tries.
