DARING YOUNG AVIATRIX
A remarkable record is that of Laura Ingalls, a modern American girl, dancer and flier. She finished flying lessons last April, and in May established a woman’s record for looping tho loop with 340 loops. In June she increased it to 980 loops, writes a correspondent. Dale Jackson, who recently made a record endurance flight over St. Louis, dared tho girl to break his record of 411 barrel rolls—whatever they may be. Laura wont up above them, and “stole the play” by doing 644 barrel rolls. Miss Ingalls says: “Any girl that can dance can fly; that is, if she really can dance. And any girl can fly as well as a man.”
