PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
Speakers:--Miss Mathilde Moisant Captain Mary Chailes

We have a very interesting program for you this week. Miss Moisant holds the honor of being the second woman in the United States to receive a pilot's license, and the 44th man or woman licensed. In 1911 she broke the world's altitude record for women at over four thousand feet, and received a valuable trophy offered by Rodman Wanamaker. She has just recently, by request of the Institute, donated this trophy to the Smithsonian Institute, where it will remain permanently to honor her achievement. Her brother was a famous aviator of early days, being the first man to carry passengers across the English Channel from Paris to London. 
Captain Mary Chailes is a present day pilot, a member of "99," the women's flying organization, and an officer of the Women's Reserve, on call for government service. Both early and present day aviation will be presented in this program by these ladies who have made aviation history, and it is a program you will not want to miss. 

LAST WEEK: Mr.James K. Reid and Mr. Ralph S. Brown from the County Parks and Playground department, talked to us on the playground situation. While there is no doubt that communities need playgrounds, we wonder if they should be made to cost the tax-payers $78,000.00 each, and if compiling reports and specifications should cost over $400.00? To conservative thinking people, these figures sound like some other political research work.

The next meeting of Division Three will be held at the Hollywood Woman's Club on Hollywood Blvd., just off La Brea Avenue, Monday evening, April 22nd at 6:45. The Hollywood and West Hollywood clubs join as hosts. Speakers for the evening will be Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, Sr., and Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, Jr., in a humorous debate under the heading, "Who is the greater fool, an old fool or a young fool?" Dinner will be seventy-five cents. Twelve of the faithful have agred to go.

The news that the first $1.000,000 has been granted for flood relief and that actual work will start about June 1st, is welcome to this locality, and credit is due to Haakon Berg and his committee, as well as all others who assisted, for their tireless work in that direction.

Mark Collins has purchased a new "De Lux" trailer with sleeping accommodations for four people, which is the last thing in convenience and comfort. He and Mrs. Collins expect to spend quite a lot of time this summer camping in different places. They have been spending part of this week at Palm Springs. I don't know whether Mark has been riding a bicycle dressed in scanties down there or not. Maybe he just went to watch the others, and that might be worth while, too!
* * * *
We understand that Doc Longman is casting longing eyes at a similar contraption (I refer to the trailer, foolish!' and has been looking them over at the Los Angeles display of camping equipment. Why don't one of you fellows go to the International convention in the thing?
* * * *
The City of Glendale will plant and care for poppies in the Verdugo Road parkway. They have no funds for the purchase of seed, and the Kiwanis Committee is raising $10.00 by donation. We are getting the front yard of the Lawhead-Carlton Company pretty well decorated up, nicht wahr? n'est-ce pas? or ain't it a fact?
* * * *
How is that baseball game with the school boys coming along, Earl? These are nice evenings for exercise.

L.A. STORE ENTRY IN WOMEN'S AIR RACE
B. H. Dyas Co. has an interesting aeronautical window display in connection with the national air races at Cleveland, in which a Swallow monoplane, powered with a Kinner motor and emblazoned with the name and standard of the Dyas store, will be piloted by Mary Charles of Los Angeles.
The display includes one of the new three-blade propellers, a new type landing wheel and parts of a Kinner motor.
Miss Charles will start in the air derby at Municipal airport Sunday, which is a flight from Los Angeles to Cleveland, and throughout the races will advertise Los Angeles and the Dyas store with her plane. 
She learned to fly at Clover field, Santa Monica, and the plane she will use in the air derby was assembled locally.
The Dyas window display attracted much attention from shoppers today and the store officials announced they would receive daily news of the races for the information of the public.
