Herbert Standing, who plays the part
of Major William Thaw- in "A Ro-
nance of the Air" by Franklin B.
Coates, was selected by Lieutenant
Bert Hall for this part because of his
strong resemblance to the American
ace in face, figure and, curiously
enough, even in mannerisms. Major
Thaw is the only other living member
of the original Lafayette Escadrille
besides Bert Hall, and the two aviators
were bosom friends in France.

ing, ID. c., probably will retain the
distinction of being the only woman
commissioned to serve In the United
States army.
In the ruling that woman physicians
r not eligible to appointment in the
officers reserve corps of the army the
judge advocate general has held that
they can serve as contract surgeons
because of the precedent set in the
Spanish-American a when Doctor
MCGEE was made acting assistant
and contract surgeon Of the army to
organize the army nurse corps.
The need for contract surgeons has
practically disappeared, 1t Is stated,
the work formerly done by them now
being performed, for the most part, by
medical officers In the reserve corps.
Doctor MCGEE, who Is a daughter of
the late Simon Newcomb, is the only
woman member of the Association of
Military Surgeons of the United States
and the Spanish-American War Veter-
ans. At the time Of the Japanese
Russian war she was commissioned by
Japan to organize a nurse corps and
was of the same status In the japanese
