BY JULTA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer New York, June 15.—It was an ill- wind that blew success into the lap of Oliver Branch Williams, the only woman president of an aviation school, Rather indirectly, perhaps, did this ill-wind work. But, because the Florida hurricane blew away her place of business in Miami, she came to New York, and started an avia- tion engineering school. Out on Long Island she now runs a school where they build planes from start to finish and then learn to fly them, after they are govern- ment-inspected. One hundred men from seven countries and 30 women, mostly so- ciety women from New York, are enrolled. Twenty-five work together one one plane, learning how to build the new style all-steel ones, to con- struct wings, repair, overhaul and test both water and air-cooled avia- tion engines and so on. Always Liked Speed Misg Williams has flown for 10 years. She always has liked the rush of wind on her cheeks. As a child her earlicst memories are of tearing along through the blue grass of Kentucky on one of her father's famous racing ponies. Ten years ago she went to Florida to live. She flew for pleasure and liked it so much she made it her business. She not only learned to pilot, she started at the bottom and learned to make the planes she flew. Flying, as a matter of fact, is the third career this little 100.pound southern lady has tackled from the ground up. “I'd never thought of having a career,” she drawled, smiling. “Back in Lexington, T was just brought up to have a good time. I guess my idea of work being a good time would have tickled my father, who never did anything harder than to bet on his own horses. . “When my parents died, T learned stenography and became secretary to a rtate official. 1 stayed there six vears and then went to Florida. Next a Realtor “1 started fiying there came ro enthusiastic that I went nto it serionsly. When the land hoom came, 1 took a filer in land T became a hard-working realtor. One day four of us women clesned up $100.000 each “I put my money into an avia- tion school for moetety people who wanted to learn to fly their own Along came the cyclone and here T am. 1 started all over again And now I'm glad that the and be- for there are such oppoertunities here.

Women who really learn fling are tremendously in demand. They are offered large sums, “Women, however, seldom want |to learn more than enough to get a government license. Most of my puplls are gociety girls who want to drive their own planes.” WATERMELON CUBES | A delicious dessert is made by filling the hold of half eantaloupes w~ith tiny cubes of watermelon. Chill thoroughly and serve, Women Not Yei Outfits For Outdoor Sports Clothes are Alike for Spectator and Player — Equips Tennis Dresses With Sleeves, Left is a white linen tennis frock | modernistic design of red, white and By HENRI BENDEL | (For NEA Service) New York, June 1S.—Fvery year |increases the favor with which {smart women regard sports. The first so-called sports frocks I {made were like their Parisian counterparts, what are now termed | «pectator-sports clothes, fashioned | rather for watching than for actual- {1y playing. Now every one is concentrating on designing the smartest possible cos- tumes for those women who drive the golf balls, serve at tennis, ride | spirited horscs. and so on. This is |significant of the high regard the |American woman of taste has for outdoor sports. Slecves For Tennis As a new note for tennis, T show la frock suit today with cap sleeves. | This kind of sleeve is much later, {than the entircly steeveless frock This tennis dress, which has its own jacket of pink linen, is of | white linen, banded in pink. TIts square neck, a pink stripe down the front and back and clear around |the bottom give it a smartly tailored look. Pink pearl buttens and a | pink kid belt are its only decoration. | The jacket that tops the frock is of pink, white banded, with a sash belt that ties. The latest interpretation of the | popular tri-kolor (red. white and | blue), idea comes via a modernistic | parasol and kerchief for beach wear. The medium {s shantung |=ilk and the handle of the parasol is | jof red stone. The kerchief is one of those that is slightly longer than | wide, s0 it may be worn as a tri- |angular adornment, or it may be| hung like a cape around the' shoulders. New is the jersey pique ahown | today in the golf outfit. Pique's popularity in colored cottons and in silks is well known know. This new fabric promises to outdo them | all. For it has a soft grace about it that makes it ideal for sports wear. Tan and Brown Outfit | This golf suit is in tans and| browns, with the pleated jersey skirt of tan and the jumper of tan jersey pique, with very deep cuffs 'and a double waistband of brown. Just the smallest of inner bandings of brown marks the smart V neck. A jersey belt of tan and brown| has a double buckle of brown| fastening the front. The hat that tops this golf outfit is of tan Irench | felt, with a brim that shields the eyes in front and rolls slightly off | the neck in the hack. It carries out | the tan-brown scheme by its wide banding of brown. | Clothing For Summer Wearing| 1 |Medical Men Say It Should | Vary With Season. Ry U. Washington..
