• ‘Two Women To Attempt Atlantic Flights’
“NEW YORK (AP) — A race between two women fliers, each determined to be first of her sex to make a solo hop across the Atlantic, was in prospect today. One of them is an American, Miss Ruth Nichols of Rye., N.Y. who has flown a plane slightly more than 210 miles an hour, the highest speed ever attained by a woman. The second is a Canadian, Miss Edith Elizabeth McColl of Galt, Ontario.” (Editor’s Note: Amelia Earhart would be the first woman — and the first person after Charles Lindbergh — to achieve the feat, in May 1932.)
