for «women over a three-kilometer
course st Detroit (slightly"lew than
two miles) with a speed of .210.085
miles an hour. Amelia Earhart Put
nam held the previous record of 181.-
157 miles an hour.
Miss Nichols flew the Lockheed-
Vega plane in which she set a woman’s
altitude record In March, over an
official course laid out near the flying
field.
Harry H. Knepper of the Nation
al Aeronautical association, checked
the flight, Snd R. A. Leavell, another
aeronautical official, timed the race.
Miss Nichols made two round trips
over the course and the speed was the
average of the four timings. In the
trips against the wind she was timed
at 191.036 and 202.814 miles nn hour,
and with the wind the timet were
221.825 and 226.880. ' -
The only comment the avlatrlx made
was that “there wasn’t anything par
ticularly exciting about the flight.”

the increased activity the courts more
