The young women have scored
another victory. An examination was
recently held in the Adjutant Gener-
ais Office at Washington for the po-
sition of translator of foreign Ian
guages. The position requires the
occupant to be able to translate Ger
man, French, italian and Spanish into
English, and vice versa; also to do
typewriting in all these languages
and proof reading, and to prepare
manuscript for the press. The works
to be translated are technical military
works, which increases the difficulty.
A number of applicants of both sexes
tried the examination, but all failed
except Miss Maud Stalnaker of Wash
ington. 1t was signal triumph, and
the Civil Service Commission certified
her name. But tho Department re,
fused to give her the position, be-
cause tho officials did not want wo-
man. The public will be disposed to
say the service is more civil than the
officials.
