Publicity Ladies. Nicely timed to give publicity to the planes exhibited at the National Aircraft Show in Detroit, three record flights by women were made last week: Elinor Smith flew a Bellanca Skyrocket to (apparently) 32,500 ft. over New York; at Philadelphia, Amelia Earhart Putnam piloted a Pitcairn autogiro to 19,000 ft., higher than an autogiro had ever been flown; at Detroit, Ruth Nichols streaked along a 3-kilometer course at 210 m. p. h.-almost 30 m. p. h. faster than a record set by Miss Earhart...
FATAL INTERVIEW-Edna St. Vincent Millay-Harper ($2). Now that Elinor Wylie is dead, Edna St. Vincent Millay has become by popular acclamation the foremost U. S. poetess.

She pulled her ship into a gliding angle, skimmed into a field, jammed on the brakes to avoid striking a tree. The plane nosed over. Rescuers rushed up to find the girl unhurt, walking about, crying hysterically...
...backwards, nearly five miles out to sea. Miss Nichols, breathing oxygen that nearly froze her tongue, forced the ship higher and higher until fuel was exhausted, descended with an apparent altitude record for women (subject to confirmation) of more than 30,000 ft. Existing record: 27,418 ft., by Elinor Smith...
