TEXAS UNIVERSITY GRADUATE
IS HEAD OF FLYING SERVICE
NEW YORK Sept 2tf. WV-Women
Who talked of dish nans and em-
broidery now wish to speak author-
tatively of propeller wash and crank
ahaits. ‘
Aviation almost exclusively man’s
domain 25 years has attracted wom-
en to the extent that the Curtiss
Flying Service noting the modern
trend has created a woman's de-
partment.
Clara Trenckmann who be-
lie.wfs that until women get on
everyday speaking terms with avia-
tion it cannot attain its fullest de-
velopment heads the department.
To her goes the task of putting
the language of flying into the ver-
nacular of women all over the coun.
try. She will operate a clearing
house of information for women who
are Interested in flying in any or
all its phases.
Current activities of women and
the field of aviation will be chron

icled in a weekly news bulletin
Women and Aviation.”
Miss Trenckmann a graduate of
the University of Texas has been
in contact with women's activities
and with aviation a number of
years. Besides serving on the ed-
itorial staffs of two rational wo-
men’s magazines and free lancing
in aviation she was the first woman
publicity director of a large avia-
tion corporation. That job was
with the American Aeronautical
corporation.
Two women pilots are also on the
staff of the Curtiss company. One
is Neva Paris one of the prize win-
ners in the first women's air derby
while the other is Prances Harrell
who will pilot a :.>ecial Gypsy Moth
plane in the forthcoming national
air tour.
Cow Claims Great
Non-Stop Record
(By Central Press)
LOCKPORT !T. Y. Sept. 7.—
Twelve years ago before the pub-
lic counted the day lost if the daily
paper failed t' announce a new
non-stop flight record the patriciar. :
little Jersey cow Sophie’s Emily i
owned by W. R. Kenan. Jr. at Ran-
dleigh farm quietly started a non-
stop productior record.
Year after year since then she
has been producing rich creamy
milk and in 1928 she had complet- j
ed eight official tests of one each
year. Then she commenced her
ninth test at 13 years of age.
A few days ago she completed
this ninth test and the bovine
world has a new heroine—12 years
in the making.
Today with the increased total
made by her latest record. Sophie’s
Emily is undoubtedly the world’s
greatest living dairy cow. Officially
she is also designated the living
long-distanced champion Jersey
cow in the world.
For the nine successive tests she
has averaged 781 pounds of butter-
fat and 15.927 pounds of milk her
total production to date standing at
143.348 pounds of milk a total that
is equivalent to 8.787 pounds of but-
ter and 66673 quarts of milk.
When this new queen of the milky
way tuned up for her solo endur-
ance record 12 years ago she was
but two vears and three months of
age. Now in hex fifteenth year
she awaits the beginning of her
tenth test
But one more 365-day test at
her xxsual high average and she
will look down upon the shattered
record of her noted granddam So-
phie 19th of Hood farm the cow
now holding the championship for
lifetime production for all breeds
Her record total production of but-
teriat is 7.545 pounds. This rec-
ord was set in 11 yearly tests. Her
average was 686 pounds per test as
against the 781-pound average of
Sophie’s Emily.

KILIOS. Turkey.—It is uncertain
whether Mustapha Kemal had the
advantage of a weather forecast
but he is in strong with some Mos-
lem fundamentalists here. There
was a long drought. Orders came
by wire one night from the capital
for everybody to go to the Mosques
and pray for rain. The next morn-
ing there was a deluge.
