By United Press LONDON, July 2.—women aviators are more fearless than men, according to aviation experts here. After exhaustive study, these men have come to the conclusion that the feminine reaction to fear is less \ pronounced than the masculine. Women in England are taking up flying in increasing numbers. An official of the Royal Aero Club estimated recently that therp are more than fifty licensed women pilots, with new ones obtaining their permits every day. Under the lead of Lady Heath and Lady Bailey, women of all kinds are turning to aviation both as a sport, and a means of livelihood. Lady Heath Long a Flier An extraordinary recent case is that of the 72-year-old Duchess of Bedford who set out to fly to India and back in eight day. One of the first women to take up flying in England was Lady Heath. She obtained her certificate after only sixteen hours instruction. This intrepid aviatrix in company with Lady Bailey set last year what then was a record by climbing 1,600 feet in a light machine. “So fay from feeling nervous,” she declared on landing. “I felt it was a real rest cure to get away from the traffic of the road.”

Takes Long Flight Heath also accomplished the difficult task of a flight from Captetown to London. Alone she crossed swamps and jungles, traversed uncivilized regions inhabited by little known tribes, and, at one point, was actually fired at by hostile natives. Yet when she stepped out of her plane at Croydon., she looked as fresh and untroubled as though she was returning from an afternoon stroll. Lady Bailey is equally fearless Three months ago she completed the reverse of Lady Heath’s exploit by flying, also solo, from London to the Cape. She flies in air races purely for enjoyment. Drives Air Taxi Then there is another type of woman aviator. Miss O’Brien operates her plane as an air taxi. She believes that it is possible to earn a living in this way and adds that she finds the work highly congenial. Ready at all hours to go anywhere, she is leading the way to a new field for women who wish to be self-supporting. Prepare Airport By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 2. Twenty men are working at the Bloomington airport, which became a reality last week through purchase of a farm by the Graham Motor Sales Company.

It was learned that Harold M. Bixby and Stanley Clarke, two members of the party, planned shortly to fly to Moscow via Berlin and keep a log of the flight.
