WOMEN WHO FLY
riiotolMwlnl.rvlck, N. V
Mile. Dutrieu, leading French Aviatrix
WHEN women take to aeroplane rac
ing, as it is announced will be done
at the summer meet of the Harvard
Aeronautical Society in Cambridge,
Mass., it will be only a matter of a short
time before the interest in the sport will
be so general that airship contests will
be as common as tennis tourneys ami
golf competitions are today.
Three countries will be represented by
women contestants at Cambridge, with
Mile. Dutrieu, a French airwoman of
considerable expe
rience, in the lead.
Mrs. James V.
Martin will wear
the English col
ors; and . Miss
Emily Willard,
who has already
made several as
cents with her
Jand Miss
II y Willard,
has alread)
c several as-
S wit b her
brother at Min
eola, L. 1., is, up to
date, the third
woman entered for
the race.
Mile. Dutrieu is
looked upon as
perhaps the most daring woman aviator
in the world, although several of her own
countrywomen press her closely for sec
ond place. She first began to fly in a
Demoiselle monoplane about two years
ago. She changed to a barman biplane;
and it was in the latter machine that she
made her longest flight, winning the
Coupe Fcmina after making 105 miles,
and remaining in the air for two hours
and 35 minutes.

Miss Harriet Quimby,
Journalist and Flier
Mrs. Martin is an Englishwoman who
married a former instructor in the Har
vard Aeronautical Society; but who later
became an in
structor in Gra
hame-Whit c's
School of Aviation
in France. She has
not only ma d
many flights with
her husband in the
machine, belong
y ing to the Harvard
Society, which he
designed; but she
is now flying in
Grahame-W h i t c's
Baby biplane,
which is a small
copy of the Farman machine.
Other influences which will induce
many more women to learn to fly are
the opening of the A. J. Moisant School
of Aviation at Garden City, L. 1., and

Mrs. E. Edwards,
an American Aviatrix
THE FAMILY MAGAZINE.-■ SECTION
the prospect that a Wright machine will
be kept at Belmont Park for the sum
mer, for the instruction of students and
the carrying of passengers. These ad
vantages will make it possible for many
women to become aviators; and will also
give an opportunity to scores of others
who have been longing for a chance to
try the experiment as passengers.
The first woman to try to fly her own
machine was Miss Harriet Quimby, New
York journalist. She is very enthusias
tic over her monoplane, in which she has
already taken several long (lights, with
but one mishap of minor importance.
Other women who have made several
flights alone at Mineola, are Mrs. E.
Edwards and Mrs. Francois Raiche.
Miss Mary Shea, winner of the Bridge
port (Conn.) Post competition, made a
flight of about five miles on May 14,
from the Bridgeport Aerodrome, .out
over Long Island Sound and back.
Mrs. Frank Coffyn, whose husband is
connected with the Wright Company's
instruction camp at Augusta, Ga., flew
30 miles with her husband on March 3,
from Augusta, Ga., to Aiken, S. C. They
left the former place at 7:10, arriving
at their destination at 8:21, just in time
to eat breakfast with some friends.
Most of the time, they traveled at a
height of 500 feet.
Across the water, are many French
women aviators who have won trophies
in various contests. Among these may
be named Mile. Hervieu, who won the
Coupe Ftmina at Pau in 1910, traversing
eighty-seven miles and remaining in the
air two hours and five minutes, and
Baroness Raymonde de Laroche, who
was one of the first airwomen in France.
A list of women flyers would be incom
plete if it did not mention the Hon.
Assheton Harbard, a famous English
balloonist, who has frequently piloted
her own balloon from England across
the Channel into France.
Miss Josephine Casey, champion of the
working girl, is making a determined
stand for suffrage in Chicago, where she
lives. She enjoys the distinction of hav
ing organized the Equal Suffrage Asso
ciation, which is one of the strongest
suffrage organizations for working girls
in the country. Nor does her strength
lie (with the working girl alone; she is
looked upon as a powerful ally of the
laboring man. She organized the Ele
vated Railway Employees' Union in Chi
cago, which boasts of a membership of
more than 1,800, of which only a tenth
are women. She herself was once a
ticket seller on the road, and she mobi
lized the body for mutual protection.
Mrs. J. A. Conelly and Mrs. Lillian
Vavasour have been appointed telephone
inspectors by the Public Service Com
mission of Albany, N. Y. The office
carries a salary of $1,200 a year; and the
duties of the inspectors will be to ex
amine the operating rooms of telephone
companies within the jurisdiction of the
commission, and to suggest improve
ments. Both women Were formerly tel
ephone operators.
