MODERN EVE
MAN’S STRONGEST COMPETITOR ON LAND, SEA AND AIR. WOMAN’S BID FOR SUPREMACY. (Vnited Press Association—By Cable— Copyright.! 5 ), 8.55 a.m.)' London, Jan. 5. Modern Eve hopes to add to her adventuring laurels in the new year by means of new world’s records and en? durance tests on land, sea and air. Two motorists, Mrs. Victor Bruce and Lady Brocklehurst, arc starting out on hazardous journeys. Mrs. Bruce, starting from Sunvald, one of the most northerly points in Lapland, intends to arrive in 94 hours to Monte Carlo. At the bonnet of her purple and silver car will be the Star of Eve, the badge of the Women’s Automobile Association. Lady Bgocklehurst, accompanied by her husband, will set out from Algiers in a motor lorry to travel 6000 miles across the desert to Khartoum. Lastly, three women, a motorist, an airwomen and a speed-boat owner, are training to compete in motor, aeroplane and speed boat tests. It seems as though a strenuous endeavour is being made to prove that women are capable of invading every domain of man.
