WOMEN PHYSICIANS In L. S. ARMY
BEFORE WARS END. is PREDICTED
Commissions Inevitable Result Of Emergency Work
Say Dr.. Caroline Purnell and Dr..
Martha Tracy

WOMEN doctors before the end of the
w present war will be granted COM
missions in the United States army. This
is the belief of two prominent women
physicians Of the city. Dr. Caroline Pur-
, nell. chairman Of the committee of civil
and foreign military service. and DR.
Martha Tracy, dean OF the Woman's
Hospital.
ut is my belief that women who are
accepted for work among the starving
ana wounded in France will be granted
commissions in the army" said Doctor
PurneIl in discussing work now being
done in that war-devastatcd country by
American women surgeons and physi-
clans many of whom are graduates OF
prominent colleges Of the United States,
"The good work of women in this
most glorious part of the war" she con-
tinued, 'has been recognized by other
countries. where. if they have not been
granted commissions, they have at least
been granted pay and rank. Personally
cannot understand why there should be
the slightest objection to granting neces-
sary authority to women who have
proved themselves worthy of il. | N.Y.
self had a talk with Secretary Baker
and he based his objection on the ground
Of convention, I believe. In view of
the fact that there are hundreds OF
women in hospitals qs nurses that
doesn't seem to be to be n good argu-
ment."

doctors and surgeons in France now
said Doctor Puruell. Some are working
in devastated districts. caring for old
men and women and refugee children"
she said Others are taking their share
in the enormous work i'll military hos
ptals These women represent such
colleges as Johns Hopkins, the Woman's
Medical College of Pennsylvania and the
University of Michigan. More are ready
to go as dentists, laboratory workers
and medical assistants. There is GER
taiuly need for women over there.
There is a natural feeling Of indig-
nation among the younger male doctors
waiting tG sail that women, simply be-
cause they are women, should get in
where they themselves are waiting to be
admitted Eventually opinion will be
overridden by need for able workers.
Then it won't be n question OF SEX" she
added thoughtfuily. "it will be a ques-
ton of ability. Where there is need
of Il trained woman surgeon or doctor
these questions will be decided natu-
rally"
/ Doctor Purnel spoke hopefully Of the
visit of Secretary Of War Baker TO the
Scottish Womens Hospital in France,
expressing the belief that the head of
the War Department cannot fail but be
| favorably impressed with the work there
Of many women doctors and surgeons
Doctor Martha Tracy, of the Woman's
Hospital, was just as emphatic in ad-

women.
Certainly women can do the work"
she said
1T is true they will need the eXperi-
ence developed in foreign military hos
pitfalls, but | don't see why there should
be any objection to granting them COM
missions. II sturdy and efficient women
are accepted they would naturally need
the authority Of rank
"On the other hand, the need Of fwomen
doctors here at home will soon become
acute SO far as men showing any
Jealousy at the prospect of women filling
their shoes, they are fairly clamoring
for help In the immense amount of worl;
TO be done here. should think that
II would not matter to really earnest
women where they worked as long as
they We're convinced they were working
to the best purpose.
Undoubtedly" she continued, "unless
the war ends soon, there will be a need
for women doctors in Europe. But the
Government has to think of equippine
ana transporting a huge army. When
these heavy questions are decided
nave little doubt that women will enter
the medical corps with commissions and
full recognition of their excellent and
valuable work"

IL It proper for young lady to extract
a quantity OF hairs from her eyebrows and
then dsrken them with u pencil. partlcu-
larry young lady who is contemplating get
ting married? ! go with this young lady
steady and we seem to have quarrels on

you viii answer this JACK,
There is nothing improper about il
unless the young girl does II in such an
extraordinary way that she attracts
attention. II Is "A little foolish vanity on
her part but not serious. and should
scarcely be a subject for quarrels. / do
not see your point why II should be par
ticularly improper, since she contem-
