By JULIA BLANSIIAItD | NEA Service Writer NEW YORK June 2.—lt was an ill-wind that blew success into the lap of Olive Branch Williams, the only woman president of an aviation school. Rather indirectly, perhaps, did this ill-wind work. But, because the Florida hurricane blew away her place of business in Miami, she came to New York, and started an aviation engineering school. Out on Long Island she now runs j a school where they build planes from start to finish and then learn to fly them, after they are govern-ment-inspected. One hundred men from seven countries and thirty women, mostly society women from New York, are j enrolled. Twenty-five work together j on one plane, learning how to build' the new style all-steel ones, to con- j struct wings, repair, overhaul and test both water and air-cooled aviation engines and so on. Always Liked Speed Miss Williams has flown for 10 years. She always has liked the rush of wind on her cheeks. Asa child her earliest memories are of tearing along through the blue grass of Kentucky on one of her father’s famous racing ponies. Ten years ago she went to Florida to live. She flew for pleasure and liked it so much she made it her business. She not only learned to pilot, she started at the bottom and learned to make the planes she flew. Flying, as a matter of fact, is the third career this little 100-pound southern lady has tackled from the ground up. “I’d never thought of having a career,” she drawled, smiling. “Back in Lexington, I was just brought up to have a good time. I guess my idea of work being a good time would have tickled my father, who never did anything harder than to bet on his own horses. “When my parents died, I learned stenography and became secretary to a State official. I stayed there six years and then went to Florida. Next a Realtor “I started flying there and became so enthusiastic that I went into it seriously. When the land boom came, I took a flyer in land. I became a hard-working realtor. One day four of as women cleaned up SIOO,OOO each. “I put my money in an aviation school for society people who wanted to learn to fly their own planes. Along came the cyclone and here I am. I started all over again here. And now I’m glad that the hurricane blew me to New York, for theer are such opportunities here.” Aviation, according to Miss Williams, is a high, wide, handsome and sure road to success for women who will take the trouble to realty learn.

“There is a tremendous opportun-! ity for women flyers who get into 1 the game now,” she asserted. “Not I for the heavy work of plane making, I but for stunt flying at resorts, for ex- j hibition work at fields, for adver- ! tisements and other things. Women who really learn flying are tremendously in demand. They are : offered large sums. “Women, however, seldom want i to learn more than enough to get a government license.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Let’s Be Honest About It

The Times is never greatly concerned over the activities of its competitors—this newspaper stands for truth and believes the public is entitled to the facts at all times. It is for this reason that we reproduce the “RUBBER STAMP EXTRA” of the Indianapolis News —thrust upon a trusting public at the Speedway Wednesday in the “Spirit of Service”

@ news SPEEdwmv WINNER cucrorr, n. **”’ Q 4TH EXTRA wOWD AT SPEEDWAY ' pltel. * J * rr ‘~ ** m!r& i*, g£*r&: to Findv* b * 'ootfS***** -sssssa %.l

The above “RUBBER STAMP EXTRA” was printed and delivered to the Speedway hours before the finish of the race, with a blank space left to “RUBBER STAMP” the name of the winner—a fact already known by all who attended the race. If such a “RUBBER STAMP EXTRA” can be called a NEWSpaper, then the Indianapolis News did serve (?) the Speedway crowd three minutes after the race was over. This was a novel trick to get circulation and money, but not anew one, and shows to what ridiculous measures soma newspapers will go to maintain circulation volume. THIS IS NOT THE TIMES’ IDEA OF SERVICE TO READERS. Who Was First? Here are the facts: With a fleet of 7 Special Marmons and skilled drivers, supplemented by numerous mother cars, The Times reached most of their distributing points FIRST, as the following chart shows:

NORTH Sixteenth and College 10 Minutes Forty-Second and College ... 15 Minutes Sixteenth and Harding .... ilO Minutes Riverside Park *... 10 Minutes Thirtieth and Northwestern.. 10 Minutes EAST Rural and Washington 20 Minutes Irvington 30 Minutes Brookside Park 5 Minutes State and Washington 15 Minutes Tenth and Massachusetts .... 20 Minutes College and Massachusetts .. 12 Minutes

Which Newspaper Was Most Complete? To be first, of course, is important, but to be most complete is MORE IMPORTANT. The Times, realizing its obligation to the public, published Race Extras all through the day, giving the complete news at 50,150, 350 miles and the finish without the aid of a RUBBER STAMP—the kind of an Extra the public expected and was entitled to receive. .j When you want the NEWS first, truthful and complete, buy The Indianapolis Times “Indiana s Fastest Growing Newspaper 99
