NO SERVICE
EXAMS NOW
FOR STENOS.
Many Get Into Government Work
Through Federal Employ
ment Bureau; Over 30
Registered Here.

Stenographers seeking government
service may not have to take the
regulation civil service examination
according to an announcement made
yesterday by Mrs. Orin Ashton,
chairman of the woman's committee
Of the Council of Defense, who con-
Quoted a recent enrolment of volun-
teers for industrial war work. Ex-
amining applicants and assigning to
jobs has now been turned over to the
federal state employment barean
conforrnancc with desire expressed
by the United States department of
labor that all employment be central
lied through federal agencies.
Heretofore the woman's committee
has had sole charge of assigning wo-
men stenographers, etc, to places in
the ranks of civilian service and in
no case could the applicant be plac-
ed without first having undergone
the regular civil service tests. It is
the plan Of the employment bureau
to place a committee in charge of the
examinations and a woman will be
sent soon to direct the work from an
office in the employment branch. ac-
cording to Mrs. Ashton
Fifty women registered here in the
recent enrolment conducted by the
woman's committee of the defense
council. OF this number over twenty
have stated that they were willing
to take assignments anywhere, eth
er in the United States or abroad.
The others will probably be placed
in deferred class for only home
service.
