F"ero er FAUI THo~Pse ~ V Mile Helene Dutrieu Who Looped eLoop, One of the Most Daring of French Aviatrices.

Mrs. Gavin is another daring English woman who has flown across the Chan nel. She practised aviation in the part of France where the war is now raging, and could give valuable assistance to the army.
 Miss Spencer Kavanagh has also dis tinguished herself as an aviator. Miss kananagh has also been a sportswoman having hunted, broken horses. driven auto mobiles in races and gone in for athletic contests. She wished to learn to fly as soon as 1t became known that it was a possible achievement, and went to Pau, de- termined to master the art.
 She uses the Bleriot monoplane, which has been likened to great dragon fly when in flight. She has had some bad accidents and was laid up with broken wrist for a while. She has learned to con- trol the machine now, and like other avia- tors she takes the dangers as part of the game.
 She is an attractive figure in her neat, tight, red cloth skirt and flannel blouse, with red cloth cap fastened under her chin, after the fashion in which Mile. Dutrieu wears hers.
 Women who are learning to fly are sometimes taught on rather peculiar

London, Oct. 25.
 A PROPOSAL has been made to or xA. ganize corps of women aviators
 to serve with the allied armies of England and France, now fighting the Germans.
 The idea has been received with en- thusiasm by many women, who reject the ancient theory of feminine weakness and declare that their sex is fully as fit to face peril as the men.
 The aviators have proved themselves one of the most valuable factors in the war. There is a great need of more of them, and it is impossible to train them in a hurry. This is one of the strongest reasons urged in favor of using the many skilled women aviators in the fighting.
 The suggestion has actually appeared in print that Lady Victoria May Pery, daugh- ter of the Earl of Limerick, should become chief of a British royal feminine flying corps.
 Lady Victoria is one of the most dashing and certainly the prettiest of English women ayiators. She was trained in avia- tion by Grahame White and the late Gustav Hamel, in whose company she '1ooped the loop" in a most daring manner. Hamel was eventually killed while doing this trick.
 It Is not likely, however. that Lady Vic toria will take the suggestion and join the fighting aviation corps, for she has gone to the United States and there become the bride of MT. James c. Brady. We have probably not yet reached the point where a bride will interrupt her honeymoon to go off to the war, after the fashion of the German submarine captain who left his bride of the day before to steam away and blow up three British warships.
 There are, however, plenty of English women and French women without en- cumbrances who are ready to fight in the air corps.
 Why should not women serve as military aviators? They have the courage and the skill. They have the patriotism. If they are inferior in weight and muscle to men, ehese qualities are not of the first i'm portance to the aviator In steadiness and nerve, which are the essential qualities in the air, the modern girl claims to be fully the equal of her brother.
 Is 1t contrary to the principles of civiliza- tion and humanity to expose gentle women to physical hardships and the horrors of war? This argument has largely been dis posed of in recent discussions. Women are employed in all sorts of occupations that shorten and endanger life.
 It has now been proved that in every war many women have fought very cred itably, in spite of all rules against their par ticipating. Many women took part in the last Balkan war, and 1t is already certain that a considerable number of French women are now fighting.
 Women are freely risking their lives with the Red Cross forces and as nurses sn other organizations at the front Many

.s becoming combatants
 From all this it appears clear that if conventional restrictions were removed there would be very great number of effective women combatants.
 And If they are to fight, why not in the air, where their nerve and daring would be of most value?
 One of the most daring of women avia- tors is Mademoiselle Helene Dutrieu, of France. She was the first woman to per form the loop-the-loop trick, that death defying stunt that made mems blood stand still when they first saw man do it. Mademoiselle Dutrieu did 1t as coolly and cleverly as any man.
 She is a tall, slender girl with an ex- quisite figure, as supple as bamboo and as strong as steel.
 She has carried a man passenger very often, and is therefore we'll qualified for war aviation, in which two persons in a machine are almost necessity.
 Mademoiselle Dutrieu received the Legion of Honor decoration for her ex. ploits. She would undoubtedly make a daring leader of fighting aviators.
 Among the many brilliant French air. women are Madame Franck, Mademoiselle Julienne Marcha1, the Baroness Raymonde de la Roche Mademoiselle Marvingt and Mademoisele Valentine Ducis.

 arm in one of her first flights. In Egypt she flew over the Sphinx and the Pyramids At St, Petersburg she flew over the city and was warmly congratulated by the Czar She flew over Budapest, in Hungary.
 In one of her first attempts she came near having fatal accident, and many people thought the experience would rob her of her nerve completely. She was carried by the wind over a clump of trees. She did her best to avoid them with a swift turn of the aeroplane rudder, but the ma chine, rushing through the air at express train speed, touched the topmost branches. and with whirling crash it came sweep ing to the ground and was wrecked ire trievably.
 Instantly the spectators rushed to the spot, expecting to pick up the body of the aviator, but the Baroness extricated herself from the debris quite unhurt and not at all frightened. Indeed, she laughed at the startled faces about her and said calmly:
 "An uncomfortable experience, it is true, but I rather expected it."
 The next day she was in the air again with new machine.
 Mademoiselle Marvingt began her train ing with two men, Wachter and Laffont, who were subsequently, killed. This did not daunt her, and she went on and won cup for flying women.
 Miss Eleanor Trehawke Davies has the reputation of being the most daring of English aviatrices She has flown across the English Channel several times. On one occasion, when crossing with Gustav Hamel she saved them both by working the second pressure pump, when he was partly benumbed with cold at height of 5000 feet.
