WOMAN BUILDS
PLANE THAT FLIES

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The first
aeroplane built by woman-or at
least the first woman built aero
plane that ever actually flew-has
been given successful tryout at
the Garden CITY aviation field.
The machine, invented by Miss
Lillian e. Todd, this city. is the re-
suit of four years of experiment.
While it is biplane, her central
idea was to make it conform more
closely than do any of the other suc-
oessful biplanes to the wing curva-
ture of birds. The machine, on it's
first trial yesterday. rose to a
height of 20 feet and made a COM
plete circuit of the field.
