Girl War Workers
Having Hard Time
In Finding Jobs

London, Sept. 15-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press. MANY
girls who obtained clerical employ
ment in government departments
during the war are having hard
time finding new jobs since the cut
ting down of stats has thrown them
out of work. There have been numer-
GUS exposures of extravaganza and
incompetency in government offices
and the girls who worked in them
have come to be regarded by some
employers as aders and abetters in
the wasting of the tax payers money.
They are discovering that commercial
and business firms do not want
them. Some advertisements of situa-
ton vacant conclude with the state
ment. No government washouts
need apply
Employers consider their attitude
we'll justified. How can such girls
be of any use in this house," said
the manager of the West End branch
of big London firm. Everyone
knows that in a government office
the girls spend more time in knit
ting jumpers and making tea than
in working"

Girl Will Take
Military Course

Urbana, ILL.,, Oct. 1O.-Miss Budy
Mae Streitmatter of Priceville, III.
will be given military scholarship
this year at the University of Illinois,
the only girl out Of the hundreds of
men who will be so classified. It is
thought that she is the only one in
the state.
The state law passed last spring
provides a free scholarship to 'sper-
sons" who served in the army, navy
or marine corps Of the United States,
exclusive Of the E. A. T. C. and who
were at the time Of entering the SER
vice, either a student at the Univer-
sity or a resident Of the state. Use
Of the word person shows that the
law does not discriminate against
women.
Miss Streitmatter presented a re-
lease from the nurses training corps
and her certificate showed that she
had been in France nearly two years,
serving at base hospitals and being
accorded by the government the same
privileges accorded to soldiers, such
as bonus and war risk insurance.
Her enlistment and discharge pa
pers referred to her enlistment in
the military establishment of the
United States, and it was decided by
University authorities that this came
under the spirit Of the law. Thus
Miss Streitmatter will be given q
scholarship.
She was able to fill all University
entrance requirments and has en-
tered as a matficulated student,
choosing the pre-medical course.
It is estimated that about 1000
students or more will apply for mill
tary scholarships which, beginning
October l, will be given by the Uni
versity. This will refund tuition and
naturalization fees to all returned
men enrolled here.
