AWATR|CES FORM
NATIONAL GROUP
Licensed Woman Pilots Plan
"FriendIy Competition"
With Men in Air.

BY the Associated Press.
& NEW YORK, December is. -" THE
Eighty-Sixes" - the first national or
ganization of licensed woman pilots in
America, and credited with being the
first in the world-has just been organ
lied here.
The name, 1.-The Eighty-Sixes," re-
1ers to their number-their ages vary
from Is to 40
The purpose Of the organization,
which was formed at the home of Mrs.
George Kunz, wife of a New York
jeweler and licensed pilot, is ito pro-
mote good fellowship among licensed
woman pilots, encourage flying among
women and create opportunities for
women in commercial aviation"
It's headquarters will be in New York
and its membership will be open to any
licensed woman pilot in the United
States,
within its ranks are some of Amer
ica's best known aviatrices; among
them, Amelia Earhart, Ruth Elder
mrs. Walter Camp, jr), and Viola
Gentry.
The first thing the Eighty-Sixers are
going to do in their program of promot-
ing women in aviation is to wage
little war on the sex complex" in the
air world.
Just because an aviatTiX is wom-
an is no reason why she shouldn't re-
ceive as good as position or as much pay
as an aviator" trev say. There is no
reason why men and women shouldn't
compete In the air in a friendly fashion
just as they do on land" They Sc
lected the following sectional chairmen
to preside over various districts in the
country:
Gladys oDonnel1, West Coast;
Phoebe Omlie, Middle West; Joan
Shankle New England; Louise Thaden,
Pennsylvania Blanche Noyes, Ohio and
Michigan; Laura Alexander, Southeast
section, and Margaret Thomas, Texas.
These sectional chairmen will act as the
governing body
No officers have as yet been selected,
but three have been chosen for ballot
ing for each office. Their names will
be submitted for vote by mail to the
members and the result announced in
the near future.
Blanche Noyes, Mrs. George Kunz
and Louis Thaden were the three ten
tatively selected for president. Mrs.
Kunz, meanwhile, is serving as tenn
porary chairman.

Of trade ethics, declared Charles J.
Brand, executive secretary of the Ma

Farm Seed Association Of North Amer

THE old idea that competition-all

welfare has been dying q hard death In
America" the fertilizer industry ex-
ecutive asserted.
"Cave-man competition has received

he said, but it will receive many more

Pointing. out that passage by Con-

Money Lenders Keep
Their Funds on Call
Despite Lower Rate
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Speclai DlspAtch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The
policy Of American corporations,
foreign banks and private lenders,
who are taking advantage of high
rates for call money in New
York, has not been changed,
judging from the amounts which
they have to their credit in this
market.
This was indicated in the fig-
ures of the loans for Others"
reported in this weeks statement
by the Federal Reserve. The
total was greater than the COM
bined loans Of the New York and
out of town banks.
Evidently the outside lenders
are satisfied with the prevailing
rates, although these have aver
aged less in the last six weeks
than at any time since the early
part OF the year. 1t has been
repeatedly said that not until
call loans drop below 6 per cent
and stay there for a while will
the corporations withdraw their
funds from the local market.
In case the Bank of England
should feel compelled to raise its
rediScount rate to 6l2 per cent
in order to check the .-utflow of
gold, there would be a heavy re-
turn of funds now employed here
by English banks and corpora
tions. This would also have the
effect of canceling loans for the
account NJ other fOrei0Y1 lnpdarc
who would turn to the London
market as the most profitable in
which to use their surplus funds.
