For the first time in the hiMory of
aviation, two women aviators will
meet in a test of skill and speed.
Miss Kuth haw, jH'rhaps the most
famous of alt hirdrwomen. and Miss
Katheriiue Stinson, one of the most
brilliant of aviatrixes, will show off
their wall's at Sheep-I:ead- The
event is advertised for the champion
ship of the universe and the woman
who wins will have little competition
unless some ladv from Mars should
; happen to drop in to challenge her
rltrht to the title.
The two wonders of the air have
I never met in competition, although
J both have been attracting world vi?e
attention for their exploits for sev
eral years.
Bolli girl have often excelled male
fliers in their phenomenal stunts
above the clouds. Miss haw holds
the world record for a mn-.-top fliuht
haiLT tlown from Chicago to Krit-,
Vi. a distaaiice of .!!() miles, without
descending. She was recently pven
a permit from the war department to
flv anvwbere in the United States
and will soon start a nation-wide
tour for tlte Ked Cross and other pa
triotic e;iiises.
Miiss Stinson was a sensation be
fore she was 20. She defeated Dario
Kesta in an earth and air race a few
ytars ao, and since has jrreatly im
proved her air mastery. She s said
to he the first woman to undertake
the aerial somersault, and holds the
world record for consecutive loops.
Her distance record is u run from
Buffalo to Washington, .via Xew
York.
