PULLMAN SEEKS WOMEN FOR

First steps toward the permanent
of a woman's bureau in
the local police department have been
taken by Mai. Pullman. He has put
IN a request with the United States
Employment Service to supply thirty
woman recruits for his blue-coat
force.
The need for womoen in the police de-
partment is occasioned. it is reported,
by the numerous girl war workers in
the city. and the need of supervision
of amusement places. and other re-
sorts to which many of the girl
strangers betake themselves for recre-
alton. The object of the new organi
zation will be protection of such girls.
The. employment of Mrs. Leola n.
King as traffic officer has proved
successful experiment according to
Maj. Pullman. and he states that he
intends to supplant the male with the
female wherever possible in direction
of vehicles and safeguarding life.
Mrs. King is the wife of Capt +. II.
King. of the United States Medical
Corps, and has long been identified
with social problems.
I'VE now have a woman's bureau in
the police department" said Maj.
Pullman yesterday. "One of my assis-
tants in this bureau is the sister of
United States Senator and another
is a woman of wealth who desires 10
help. Two of the force of the bureau
are college graduates and two have
had training as nurses. Mrs. Arthur
