MODERN EVE TO SEEK FRESH LAURELS THIS YEAR.
Will Take Part In Endurance Tests On Land And Sea, And In The Air. (United Presa Association.—-By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrights (Received January 6, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, January 4. Modern Eve hopes to add adventuring laurels in the New Year by means of new world’s records and endurance tests on land and sea, and in the air. Two motorists, Mrs Victor Bruce and Lady Brocklehurst, are starting out on hazardous journeys. Mrs Bruce, starting from Sunvald, one of the most northerly points in Lapland, intends to drive in 94 hours to Monte Carlo. At the bonnet of her purple and silver car will be the Star of Eve badge of the Women’s Automobile Association. Lady Brocklehurst, accompanied by her husband, will set out from Algiers in a motor lorry to travel 6,000 miles across the desert to Khartum. Lastly, three women motorists, an airwoman 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.
