Woman doctor urges women be allowed to serve in U.S. Army on equal basis as men. Washington, D.C., Dec. 13. If Congress acts favorably on resolution recently adopted by the American Medical Women's Association, women may yet serve in the United States Army with rank, uniform and pay commensurate to that of men. One of the few women practitioners engaged by the Army as contract surgeon during the World War, Dr. Kate B. Karpeles, above, National President of the A. M.W.A., says the single standard is desired only in time of war or other great national emergency. Its primary purpose being to release male physicians for duty in the field.

Salute to the Women in the Military

Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service. Pretty as her picture is this young woman in the trim uniform that enlisted U.S. Navy WAVES will wear this winter. The smartly styled, comfortable uniforms are in the traditional "Navy blue" with a soft rolled brim hat. Women between the ages twenty and thirty-six with a high school education or its business school equivalent are eligible, providing they meet physical and aptitude requirements. After training, they will receive rating and pay commensurate with their experience and ability. The pay, incidentally, will be exactly the same as that for men in the same rating, plus allowances. The Navy particularly desires women trained as general clerks, secretaries, stenographers, duplicating machine operators, typists, file clerks, bookkeepers, warehouse clerks, stock clerks, radio operators, teletype operators, simplex and multiplex operators. Some, too, will be trained as aviation machinists mates, gunner's mates and for torpedo maintenance
