Women Police
Making Good
For England

LONDON, July 25.-Women police
are making good according to the
chief officer of the Womens Police
Force. They are employed in munitir n
factories very largely to search the
ingoing and outgoing women workers
for contraband, keep order in trains,
to inspect passports and to patrol tie
lanes and yards. They get $40 weekly
with railway fares, sergeants receive
eleven dollars and inspectors twelve
dollars. The chief officer says school
teachers are particularly wanted for
the force as their training fits them
admirably for police luties which re-
auire good temper, patience and tact
with frmness.
The girls in the factories appear to
be very fond of the women police and
the government are asking for more
to be appointed at various munition
works throughout the country.
