Blanche Noyes, fighting to be first into her home city of Cleveland, was the las of the women flyers.
But the parade went on and on. Marcellus King, from Fairmont, Minn., sent his Monocoupe teetering into the wind in the van of the waiting host of masculine pilots. Behind him sped Eldon Cessna of Wichita, Kan.; Earl Rowland, a fellow townsman; Tony Little, form Philadelphia; C. D. Beauchamp of Long Beach; Walter Carr of Detroit; Lester Glasscock of Dunedin, Fla., and George Shealy from the Georgia city made famous by the mighty Bobby Jones.

Eddie, a New York boy, is only 19 years old, but he has 15,000 miles of transcontinental flying to his credit, holds the junior transcontinental air record and placed third this year in the Ford reliability tour. 

And chasing Schneider's "dust" went Leonard Flo from Detroit, W. Musgrave of Alameda, Alfred Spoorer, Los Angeles flyer; W. Kerr from Vallejo and H. Newman of Houson, Tex.

"Aviation Is The Key to Security For This Nation"

Aviatrix Tells the Whittier Blvd. Ebell History of Flying

"Aviation is the key to security for this country and without adequate aviation we are easily the prey of any nation", declared Mrs. Mary Charles, captain of the women's aviation reserve, to the Whittier Boulevard Ebell Club at the Arboretum, Friday afternoon. 

Mrs. Charles, introduced Mathaldo Moissant and Hilda Jarmuth. Mathaldo Moissant is the second woman to secure a licensed pilot's license in the United States, having received it in 1911. She told [[cut off]] of the great stride that has been made in the building, speed and safety of aircraft since then. Miss Moissant at the request of Mrs. Charles, wore the original helmet boots and gloves that started he[[r]] on her historical career. 

In 1929 there were only fifty licensed women pilots, and Miss Jarmuth was among them. Miss Jarmuth has just returned from the Hawaiian Islands and has done much to further aviation for women there. She told of the adventures, and beauty of nature there was to be had in aviation. 

Mrs. Mable Jolly, musical chairman, presented three Garfield High School students; May Mortson gave a piano solo; Wilber Thompson gave a recitation to The Unknown Soldier; Robert Johy blew taps at the end of the recitation. 

Mrs. Una Woods, literary chairman, reviewed late books and Mrs. Mildred Lambertson gave a short talk on topics of the day.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3. (AP) - Miss Jacqueline Cochran of Los Angeles landed an airplane in flames at a 100-mile-an-hour speed at the Municipal Airport here today and jumped from the ship uninjured.

She was en route from Kansas City to Columbus, O. As she neared this city she said a loose connection in the oil line started the fire.

The blaze was extinguished quickly by a fire truck at the airport with little damage to the plane.
