The issue includes a comic about Harriet, who becomes the first licensed woman pilot in America on August 2, 1911, and must perform a daring exhibition flight that nearly ends in disaster when her motor fails during landing, but she successfully guides her plane down by pulling up the wing to clear an obstruction. Additional content includes Kay Wambold Jameson's beauty column offering shower shampooing tips for healthier hair and styling, along with craft and fashion features.
