Olive Schreiner informs us that the
only calling which has not been invaded
by the modern woman is the army. With
the modern methods of warfare. how
ever, she sees no reason why women
strength is quite sufficient to manipulate
Maxim gun. Mrs. Schreiner believes,
though, that warfare would not be
popular calling for women, because, hav-
ing borne it. women always will have
higher appreciation Of the value Of hui
man flesh than men. and, therefore. will
not have it ruthlessly sacrificed. That
women have been successful warriors In
earlier periods of the worlds history Is
evidenced by the tales of the Amazons
and other nations of feminine valiants.
A tribe now exists in Central Africa in
which the women are the soldiers and
the hunters protecting the village from
enemies and providing the game for
food. while the men stay at home and
do the sewing. 1t is said that these men
are better tailors than the women. They
are able to place the stitches with which
they fasten the crude mantleS and waist
cloths that constitute the fashionable
clothing of the community more skill
fully than can the women.
Next to that of the soldier. the call
ing which it is natural to suppose few
women would choose Is that of police
officer. Yet within the last two years
number of woman police officers have
been appointed in the larger American
cities, and the effectiveness of their
services is likely to call many others
into the same field. Two of them serving
in Los Angeles. according to the testi-
mony of G. E. Sebastian, chief of police,
form "a valuable and harmonious addi-
ton to the department. conference
of woman police officers was held in
Portland, Ore. in December, which rep
resented all of the larger cities along
the western coast. 1t has been deter
mined to effect a national organization
which will include the policewomen of
all the cities in the country. The chief
Of police of Portland declared at the
conference that only through the appoint
ment of woman officers could the prob
lem of city vice be solved.
Three main points were brought out
at this first conference of woman police
