ATLANTIC AIR RACE PROPOSED BETWEEN TWO WOMEN FLIERS

NEW YORK, April 22. (AP) - A, race between two women fliers, each determined to be the 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, New York, 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, whose plans became known yesterday after it was learned definitely that Miss Nichols is intent on making the flight.

Miss McColl, a little blonde stenographer, has been flying quite a bit in Canada although she is not as well known as Miss Nichols. Her first flight was made at the age of 11, and she has been at it consistently since that time.
