ENDURANCE TEST
OF RUSSIAN WOMEN.
(Received Wednesday, 11.55 a.m.) MOSCOW, Tuesday.
Forty-five women have just completed a gruelling two months’ automobile expedition across Soviet Russia, designed to test their stamina. They covered 6263 miles in 45 days actual driving. The cars were manufactured in Russia and average 139 miles per day. The route was through seven republics of the Soviet Union. Every type of weather was experience and the expedition traversed the camel trails of Kazakstan, the footpaths' of the salt marshes in Little Karakum and the mountain ridges in the Urals.
