SHE SEEKS HIGH POSITION
DR.. Mary Walker Asks to Be
Appointed Commissioner
of Pensions.

DR.. Mary Walker has made applica-
tion to Secretary Lane of the Depart
ment of the Interior for appointment
as commissioner of pensions. DR..
Walker places considerable weight in
her claim on the fact that she has seen
government service. In addition to her
wartime record as a surgeon, she
served a. short time in the pension
office as clerk.
She enlisted March II. 1864. and was
discharged June IL. 1865. She became
famous very early in +. her career
through the fact that she chose to
wear the regulation masculine attire
because she found skirts too hard to
navigate in upon the battlefield.
Given Special Pension.
She was pensioned under the general
law for disease of the eyes at $50 a
month. This was later increased to SO
a month by special act of Congress.
In 1861 she served as assistant surgeon
in the Patent Office Hospital. and in 1852
and 1853 served at the front, before she
was regularly in the service, having been
appointed by surgeons in charge because
of efficiency, and was finally employ ed
regularly. She was appointed to a clerk
