Who wants to be lady cop-not
one of those municipal chaperones
who DO nothing but spy on spooncrs in
Central Park, nor police matron, nor
member OF the Police Reserves, gor-
gcous IN uniform and humble in au-
thorlty-but a regular honest-to-
goodness cop, with nightstick and a
regular beat, and authority to pinch
any one who sasses you?
All this joy is awaiting any woman
who has the. nerve and the avoirdupois
to claim IT. Nothing stands between
woman and the police force. now that
HE Civil Service Commission has
broken down the barriers that OK

lack of physluue.
Al advertisement, printed in "lhe

"All examinations are open to both
men and women, unless otherwise

At the Civil Service Office in the

Charles L. stongle is the man, but

ment went to the border eventually.
Mr.. Henkel also stated that men who
had served in the army were always
given preference in the factory, be-
cause of their military discipline and
the fact that they had been taught to
obey orders.
On cross-examination Attorney Kirk
land asked the witness if Frank l..
kllngensmith were his superior, and if
Mr.. khngensmith gave him orders
would he follow them. He had hazy
knowledge only Of Mr.. Klingensmth' S
position, and wasn't sure whether or
not he would obey his orders, notwith-
standing the fact of Mr. Klingensmith's S
superior official position with the
company.

as wages without regard to whether
the profits weres forty or sixty million
dollars, was it not?" Kirkland asked
ut was said Mr.. Henkel.
'lf any Ford employees went to civil
ian training camps. did they get their
pay, or did they get their jobs back ?"
Not to my knowledge" answered
Henkel.
Harry Summers, of Highland Park,
