Articles from 1910

American Womanhood Slandered
(Review of Reviews, 1910)

Attached is a 1910 article that rambles on for two columns and offers the reader nothing but nasty, vile insulting remarks regarding the character and appearance of American women. The article lays bare the low opinions conceived by an assortment of well-traveled, high-born, hot-headed-Hindus from way-down-East-India-way. AND the abuse of American women and their free press wasn’t enough for them; they had to drag American men into their tirade as well:

The women of your big, vast, young country, I confess, disappoint me…they are less chic, they are tactless, they are ignorant…I understand that some American women make the proposal of marriage. That I do not doubt after watching them make themselves ‘agreeable’ to a man at dinner. I am not surprised that American men do not make love well. The women save them the trouble.

1910: Gains and Losses in Aviation
(The Review of Reviews, 1910)

Attached are four short articles from THE REVIEW of REVIEWS concerning what had happened in the world of aviation during the summer months of 1910. Of particular concern was the bloody month of July, which happened to be the month in which a large number of pilots met their end. Among the dead was the Honorable Charles Stewart Rolls (b. 1877), Daniel Kinet (b. 1885) and Charles Wachter (dates?). Also lost that summer was the daring aviatrix, Baroness de la Roche (b. 1886, as Elsie Raymonde Deroche). The third and fourth articles list the advances in altitude and endurance records made by such men as Walter Brookings (1889 – 1953), Jan Olieslegers (1893 – 1942), Clifford B. Harmon (dates?) and Count de Lesseps (1882 – 1916).
