HE recent arrival in this country of
Fraulein Thea Rasche, the fore-
most German aviatrix and stunt
flyer, and her announcement that
early next year, after doing some
flying here, she will attempt to
make a nonstop flight from New
York to Germany, are a reminder
that women are following closely
in the footsteps of men even in
aviation. It has long been a popular
idea that the so-called weaker sex
have little or no interest in those hazardous occu-
pations which are supposed to be reserved for the
hardier male sex. Aviation, where unshakable
nerves and coolness in an emergency are prime
necessities, theoretically has no place for the
oe
ary
‘women, at least in performing some of the dare-
devil feats which the aviators perform.
But like so many other popular ideas this one
in regard to women's nonparticipatien in aviation
is an erroneous one and there have been in the
past and are now enough fearless bird women to
prove that fact. Fraulein Rasche is only the latest
one to command public attention. During her first
flight from American soil at Reosevelt field when
she took up her little Flamingo for ten minutes of
exhibition flying, army pilots from Mitchell field
pronounced her “a skillful and graceful flyer.”
She is preparing to show that she is also a fear-
less flyer by exhibitions of stunt flying which she
will give in various parts of the country and she
intends to pit her skill as a racing pilot in the
New York to Spokane, Wash, air derby this
month,
Fraulein Rasche, however, is only one of several
women pilots who have attained more than pass-
ing notice in aviation. There is Mrs. Charlotte
Alexander, who organized the only women’s avia-
tion corps in this country some years ago; there
is Maxine Dicks, who is probably the only woman
aviation “camera man” now pursuing that occupa-
tion; there is Trehawke Davies, the first woman
to loop the loep in a plane; and there is Mile.
Adrienne Bolland, the French aviatrix, who was
the first woman to fly across the English channel
back in the days when that was regarded as a
feat of considerable magnitude, and who added to
her laurels by being the first woman to fly across
the Andes mountains in South America.
Other bird wemen who have been in the news
lately are Miss Ruby Thompson of Dallas, Texas,
who was the first woman pilot to enter the pro-
posed air race from Dallas to Hongkong, China,
for the prize of $25,000 that has been offered for
that feat, who will be accompanied on the flight
by a navigator as well as a co-pilot ; Miss Mildred
Doran, a school teacher of Flint, Mich., whe flew
from her home in the Middle West to the Pacific
coast within the last few weeks with the an-
nounced intention of attempting a flight to Hono-
lulu with Augy Pedlar as pilot; and Miss Gladys
Roy, who tegether with Lieut. Delmar L. Snyder,
a former army aviator, is planning to attempt
a New York-to-Rome flight, Miss Roy is a
well-known stunt flyer who, not, satisfied with
risking her neck on the wing of a plane, added
a sensational touch by doing her work with her
head encased in a black bag. Among the other
well-known women stunt flyers are Miss Gladys
Engle, the California aviatrix whose favorite
stunt was to jump from ene plane to another,
flying just overhead, and then, after making her
flying leap, to hang by her heels from the upper
wing of the plane on which she had just landed,
and Miss Lillian Boyer, a girl of nineteen who,
several years ago, gave the crowds a thrill by
swinging from a cable beneath her aeroplane
with only the grip of four slender fingers between
ber and the risk of a dash to the earth a thousand:

TEA RAID FTRIT
APZERICATY FLIGHT"
I REFAWEZ DAVIES
Mention of Trehawke Davies’ distinction of
being the first to loop the loop recalls the feat of
Laura Bromwell, a twenty-three-year-old girl who
on May 15, 1921, made a loop the loop record when
she executed 199 successive loops in one hour and
twenty minutes. It also recalls her tragic death
when her plane fell a thousand feet at Mitchell
field near Mineola, Long Island, the next month
(June 5, 1921) and she was dashed to the earth.
Miss Bromwell was not the first bird woman to
meet her fate in the air. Prebably the first fatality
among women aviators occurred in the early days
of aeronautics when on June 5, 1912, Auguste
Bernard and Mme. Rose Amicel, two French avia-
tors, lost control of their machine near Bue,
France, and came crashing to the earth where
both were killed.
But stunt flying has not been the prin-
cipal contributien of bird women to the progress
of aviation. Mile. Bolland’s flight across the
Andes, made in the infancy of aviation, was a
practical demonstration of the possibilities of the
aeroplane as a means of transportation to which
high mountains cculd offer no barrier. She left
Mendoza on the Argentine side at 6:32 on the
morning of April 1, 1921, and soared high above
the lofty peaks of the Andes with their treacher-
ous air pockets where an accident meant instant
death on their rocky slopes, or possibly starva-
tion in the wilderness even in case of a safe land-
ing. However, the trip was made without mis-
hap, and she landed at Santiago, Chile, at 10
o'clock, less than three and a half hours after
she had set out from the Argentine city. To Miss
Phoebe J. Fairgrave, an eighteen-year-old girl,
goes the credit for making a parachute jump
which was a record for women at that time and
probably still stands, On July 11, 1921, at the
Curtis flying field, near St. Paul, Minn., Miss Fair-
grave stepped out into space at an altitude of
15,200 feet, shot down with terrific velocity, and
then as the silken umbrella opened, she floated
gracefuly to the earth.
But of them all there is one who was acclaimed
“Queen of the Air” some ten years ago and she
still retains the major part of her claim to that
title. For the altitude record for women aviators
made on September 27, 1917, at Peoria, Ill, by
Miss Ruth Law, still stands and that record is
14,701 feet. Establishing this record, however, was
not Miss Law's first triumpb. That had occurred
the previous year when on November 19-20, 1916,
she made what was then the longest nonstop flight
record, from Chicage to Hornell, N. Y,, a distance
of ‘590 miles, thereby breaking the record of 452
miles, made by a man flyer earlier in the month.
Her feat at that time was heralded as one of the
greatest in the history of aviation, and it is inter-
esting to read the following account of it which
appeared in the columns ef the Outlook Magazine
for November 29, 1916:
THE HIGHEST MARK IN AMERICAN AVIATION
No less interesting than the scientific features of
the record-breaking flight of Miss Ruth Law, from
Chicago to New York, is the human significance of
the accomplishment. Miss Law says the fact that
she is a woman makes no difference, but it does.
The fact that the new American nonstop record
was made by a 120-pound woman of twenty-eight,
in a rebuilt aeroplane of almost obsolete type,
doubles the prominence of thls achievement in the
public mind. General Wood reflected the ponular
admiration for Miss Law, when as he helped her
from her seat at the end of her flight, at Governor's
Island, he said, “Little girl, you beat them all”
. In a nutshell, this is what Miss Law did. In a
100-horsepower, two-year-old biplane she flew
without a stop from Chicago to Hornell, N. XX. a
distance of 590 miles, thereby breaking the record
of 453 miles made by Victor Carlstrom in the New
York Times flight on November 2. Flying on to
Governor's Island with a stop at Binghamton Miss

Law completed the entire trip of S884 miles, from
Chicago to Governor's Island in 8 hours 55 minutes
and 35 seconds. Carlstrom’s total time in the air
from Chicago to New York was 8 hours 17 minutes.
With true sportsmanship, Carlstrom was one of
the first to congratulate Miss Law, pronouncing
her flight “the best performance to date in Amer-
ican aviation.”
Few persons took Miss Law seriously when she
announced her intentions of attempting the Chi-
cago-New York flight. Although she holds the
woman's record for altitude, she had never before
flown more than 25 miles across country. More-
over, her machine is less than half as large as
the one in which Carlstrom made his record, and
carried only 53 gallons of gasoline as against 200
gallons carried by Carlstrom.
y Miss Law's record has been
by the Aero Club of America.
stamped as official
The following contemporary account from the
New York Sun is also worthy of reproduction
because of the parallel in many respects between
Miss Law's feat and the recent record-breaking
one of Col, Charles Lindbergh. In it is reflected
the same cool daring of the lone adventurer who
set out almost casually on a great undertaking
and the same modest wonder at all the pepular
acclaim which followed. The Sun article says:
Miss Law tried to buy a bigger machine such as
Carlstrom had used, but Mr. Curtiss wa aid to
sell her one for fear she would be killed. He
thought it would be too powerful for her. But
when he heard Sunday night of the record flight
from Chicago to Hornell he called the Aero Club of
America on the long-distance telephone and said
she could have a new machine any time she
wanted it, and she will likely want it for now she
is going to try a nonstop fight from Chicago to
Governor's Island.
Carlstrom, whose nonstop record was bettered
by Miss Law, had the besc¢ equipment that money
and science could produce and back of him
the entire Curtiss organization, His plane would
carry 147 gallons more fuel than the machine Miss
Law flew. He trained for weeks and waited day
after day for favorable winds before making his
start. Miss Law, who never had flown more than
25 miles in a single flight before, just had
new gas tanks put on her aeroplane, notified the
Aero club to make the flight official, and started.
Miss Law was thoroughly chilled when she
arrived, but seemed to be in the pink of condition,
resourceful and not disposed to take herself seri-
ously. She is slight, fair-haired, and weighs only
about a hundred twenty pounds. She was openly
pleased at the reception the army officers and
Aero club officials gave her, but she was a little
bashful at first and looked as though she was
wondering just why they were all there. Although
this woman has been flying since 1912, she is only
twenty-eight. She has had an uphill fight without
financial backing, risking her life in machines
that were none too good and she seemed hardly
to realize that she had at last attained a goal of
popularity, publicity and official reeognition of the
Aero club and that she is the peer of any male
flyer in America. Miss Law has always been in
competition with men, flying In machines that
were inferior to their's and this time she won out

Is His Writing Light or Heavy?
i The Head?
QUANT
Light writing indicates what is some-
times termed a weak character. But,
this Is meant only in relation to that
writer's reaction to material things.
You will seldom find a writer who
touches the paper lightly who is In-
terested in how much money he can
get out of a certain deal. Therefore
we find that the writing of the one
who uses the delicate touch Indicates
a mind more concerned with things
philosophical and spiritual,
The light-pressured writing Is more
frequently made by the writer who
puts -principle above profit and who
will give his time to others—often
without need.
Extremely heavy writing speaks of
the emphatic “give me” type—one who
follows the law of self-preservation.
This trait is true when the main
strokes are heavy and other strokes
are lighter, When the entire outline
of a letter is heavy and smudgy look-
ing, then you may expect the writer
to be violent in temper, usually due
to sickness. It is this type of writer
that usually loses his life from some
reaction of uncontrollable temper.
Light and keavy lines in the same
writing shows a personality that has
magnetism and force.
Does He Pity Self?
Lidoss on
He may not complain about his
trouble to you through sheer will-
power and sirewdness. He may not
want to scare you away. But here is
a way to detect his habit of self-pity:

is this true if the t bar is made to
the left or if it is small and made as
if a sparrow bad taken a peck at the
upright. Encourage this writer to
forget himself and to understand that
his work in this life is the thing and

he promotes that work.

this way and the writing has many |
sharp points, the conclusion may be |
made that the writer is given to
telling his troubles and boring others.
If the writing is inclined to run down |
hill and t bars have a sharp point to
right, little can be done to
the moody, blue condition of the writ-
er without conflict, Praise is, what
they want.
Note.—Do not make final judgment
until other signs in writing are studied.
Shaving and the Hair
Many believe that continuous shav-
ing of the human hair makes the hair
wiry, but now it is declared there is
no foundation for this bellef. Tests
made by growing beards on men who
had shaved for as long as 40 years
showed that such halr was no stiffer
than the beards of men who had never
shaved at all.

Wider Use of Steel Is
Proof of Man’s Advance
Steel production in the United
last year reached 48,000,000
tons, more than half of the world out-
put, according to recent reports,
Americans used about six times their
own weight of the material as com-
pared with little more than two times
the weight of the population at the
beginning of the Twentieth century.
} In 1500 the total estimated output of
steel and iron for the entire world
was about 50,000 tons, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The inerease in
the production of the metals, keeping
pace with the development of power
machinery, has enabled a laborer to
earn in a few hours today what would
have required days a few centuries
ago, One economist estimates that
the ratio in favor of power over man
toil is as high as 590 to 1.

The kidneys are the blood filters. If their
