LADY VIATORS' SPIRIT
; - 'GOES "UP IN THE IR"
. . New York, Jan. 19. War has
broken out among the 'avatrices"
of America, and war. among the
female of the species is more
deadly Oh, much more deadly,
than ,war among the male !
Charges of being a "grass cut
ter" which in air language is
equivalent to one colored gentle
man telling another that a yellow
streak runs up and down his back
are being bandied across the
1 continent. And rouge is not nec
essary to redden the wrathy
cheeks of the birdwomen.
c Miss IBanche Scott, now in
Los Angeles, began it. Miss
Scott 'is not the possesor of an
aviator's license, and perhaps she
thinks she has been discriminat
ed against in this matter. A . r
Anyway ,"" Miss Scott, she up
and said 'that Miss 'Harriet
Quimby and Miss Mathilde Moi
sant who. be it noted, possess
aviator's' licenses were afraid to
qompete with -her, because she
was. too daring and spectacular"
for them. ' ,
r When this was reported to Miss
Harriet Quimby, that lady drew
a long , breath and assumed a
s'cornfnl look.
"Of course, she began, in icy
tones, "you must understand that
Miss Blanche Scott has never
been awarde'd a license by the In
ternational Aero club.
"Under these circumstances, it
is impossible for me, who has
b'een -awarded a license, to chal-Jenge-
her. . .
"Otherwise"! should not hesi-
tate to challenge Miss Scott
"fie sides, this Miss Scott can
nofdo the 'right hand turn.' That
is 'one of the hardest things to do,
and necessitates a1 spiral glide.
I can do it.
"The idea of Miss Scott saying
that I am afraid to compete with
her is too ridiculous to talk about
I am not afraid of her, nor of any;
man. Why, if I had the same pow
er aeroplane 3S1 Claude Grabame
White, I should not hesitate to
challenge him for a race.
"I don't believe hvthis circus
flying. But 'I'm certainly not
afraid of Miss Scott
"Now if only she were.prqperly
licensed, I should but .what is
the use of talking she is NOTi
licenced." , . 1
