 FLYERS
Aviators Believe They May Get Ace Title in Some Future War; Flying Ap- peals Mostly to Women.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Wil1 women furnish the daring f1iers of the world in the near future and perhaps achieve the coveted title of 'ace" in some future war;
 This is regarded as something more than a possibility by airnnen of eX- per-enCe.
 They base their observations on ex- periences in flight with women pas sengers. It is fast becoming generally
 known that flying seems to appeal
 'tThey dOte on it." according to some
 pilots One pointed out that where
 the average man will decline a, chance
 to go up the average woman will jump at it.
 One cynic blamed this tendency on the alleged lack of responsibility of soma women, or perhaps a lack of realization of anything more than the sensation of the flight. It was related by a f1ier, however, that in taking a group of women up one by one, after

 It is fact that abroad, where l travel by air is more common than in i America. women are the most enthu- | siastic patrons of these air convey 1 ances. And some of the most daring l stunt performers in the history of avi- 1 atiOn have been women fiiers. Some | of them lost their lives, but the vet l erans of their sex are still seeking 1 new feats to try in the air. 1 Observers also point to the large | number of women who engage in bal. 1 loon jumps at county fairs and other 1 gala celebrarions, and also to the 1 number of women who are profes- 1 sional Thigh divers and aerial per ! formers with circuses.
 As for the part women fiers could | play in war, it was shown that any | woman capable of piloting a plane | and being a good shot could hold hsl I own with any f1ier of the enemy, re- | gardless of sex. The consessus of 1 opinion is that women make good avi. | ators, and the view is expressed bS
