Mohrhardt spoke of the modern inventions to make planes noiseless. The navy, he said, is experimenting with planes in which the exhaust passes through the propeller shaft and is forced through the propeller which is made of hollow vanadium steel. In the more expensive cabin planes, fiber insulation is used to keep out both noise and wind. he said. Lieut. Frank Hoffman led a discussion on meteorology and the influence of weather conditions on flying. Mrs. Junkin talked about her experience through which she has attained nation-wide fame. She is a stockholder and director of the Advance Aircraft Co., Troy, Ohio, where Waco planes are made.

Mildred Doran Enshrined with Women Air Pioneers
By Harvey Anderson
(Copyright, 1927.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Miss Mildred Doran, Michigan school [[?]], whose fate on her Hawaiian [[?]] has held the world's attention, [[?]] of a number of brave women who have pioneered the air along with men. The monument being built in Oklahoma to honor the "Pioneer Mother" may well be followed by a memorial to the women who have met the hazards of a new element with unflinching courage. This writer stood beside Miss Lillian Gatlin 12 years ago, and watched Lincoln Beachey drop into San Francisco Bay. "I'm going to make the world remember him!" she said. Miss Gatlin later was the first woman to fly across the American Continent, making the trip in a mail plane on the anniversary of Beachey's death. Each succeeding year, she has arranged a ceremonial at Beachey's grave. She inspired other women fliers and has devoted recent years to furthering aviation among women.
Ruth Law's Feat.
Miss Ruth Law, an American girl, made the first flight between Chicago and New York, a distance of 332 miles, in nine hours and one minute. She followed this performance with amazing stunt flying. In 1919 she planned a transatlantic voyage but was unable to obtain a dependable plane. Miss Katherine Stinson, [[?]] Texas school girl, [[?]] the air late in 1915. It [[?]] this time that Art Smith [[?]] world dizzy with his loops. [[?]] the war broke out, Miss Stinson made a desperate effort to get into a flier. Failing in this, she joined the Red Cross and drove an ambulance. She broke Ruth Law's record for the Chicago-New York flight by making a non-stop flight of 783 miles. Soon after she flew 610 miles from San Diego to San Francisco. Miss Stinson later opened an aviation school in San Antonio, Tex., and has trained hundreds of fliers. Her sister also is an aviatrix. Miss Harriet Quimby, an American girl, made the first flight across the English Channel in 1912. She had been flying about one year and had amazed the world with her daring and skill. She was killed later in a crash.
Rushed Aid in Vain
Miss Blanche Stuart Scott, a student, flying above Miss Quimby, saw her fall. This incident remains as a test of the air behavior of women. Gripped with horror, Miss Scott brought her plane to earth and rushed to the aid of Miss Quimby--too late. Mrs. Elliott Lynn, British flier, continues to thrill London with feats of looping, diving, tail-spinning and side-slipping. After a recent crash, she immediately took the air again. Mme. Lubia Phillipoff, now conducting a beauty parlor in New York was, until recently, the holder of the world's altitude record for women. She flew Russian planes during the war and participated in sensational engagements, piloting a 10-passenger Fokker monoplane thousands of miles. Lady Bailey, wife of Sir Abe Bailey, and Mrs. Geoffrey De Haviland, wife of the aeroplane designer, now claims the women's record, with flights of more than 18,000 feet. 
Girl Parachute Jumper
Miss Carolina Sikes, of Toronto, is not only a flier, but a parachute jumper. When the airplanes on the recent national air tour reached New York, they were escorted to Curtiss Field by a woman flier--Miss Jessie E. Horsfall. Miss Horsfall is a skilled air woman of wide experience and is one of the editors of Aero Digest. Fraulein Thea Rasche, German flier, is in New York planning a trip across the Atlantic. She has thrilled crowds here with her performances in her plane, and although she crashed recently, trying to dive under a Hudson River bridge, she is at it again and tells the world she will ride the air to Germany. She has ordered a plane similar in design to the one Chamberlin used. In Germany, Japan, England and France women are beginning to fly.
