Use of Coal Tar Coloss

.. In addition to the dyeing OF cloth,
coal tar colors have a number OF
ether important uses. They are
used to color inks, typewriter rib

things. Then there is their use as
artificial food colors; and also COL
oring agents for some of the cheap
er American liquors, which, In ap-

that Europe can produce Another

trating more upon serious traffic

WOMEN T0FLY
IN NATIONAL :
AIR RACES

,' CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. IS
{'(I.N.SO.-Lady birds will fly in
the national air races this year.
- Women pilots have not flown
in the races since 1892. When
the announcement was made that
they would be permitted to par
-ticipate this year. men pilots
raised a questioning eyebrow, but
said nothing.
Again they said nothing when
It was announced women pilots
would fly in the Amelia Earhart
Trophy race for women exclu-
sively.
e But when Americas powdered
pilots sought permission to COM
pete in the Bendix tranSconti-
mental derby, a hint of ill-feeling
came to the surface. :
Appeals to ChivaIry
An appeal to the chivalry Of
men fiers was made by. Miss
Jacqueline Cochran, Los Angeles
society flier. She asked that the
rule eliminating women be aban-
doned, or at least Overlooked"
Clifford w. Henderson, manag-
ing director Of the races, obtained
permission from the National
Aeronautic Association for Miss
Cochran to enter the derby. Now
it, is up to the men pilots to waive
the rule.
= If the men waive, Miss Coch-
ran will be the first woman pilot
in the history of the event to at
tempt to make the croSs-country
dash.
Flies Fast Plane
The young society girl will
prove a real threat to the men
pilots because she flies a truly
fast plane, twin-engined Gamma.
And she is experienced. She en-
tered the London-Australia race
last fall, but only reached Italy
with w. L. Smith, who flew her
plane for her.
The transcontinental derby Of
fers cash prize of $4,000 to the
winner and an extra $4,000 to the
pilot setting new Los Angeles to

third-place prizes will boost the
total to $4,000.
