LAW BARS WOMAN ALIEN
FROM GOVERNMENT JOB

Mrs Helen Hamilton Gardener, re-
Gently sworn In as the first woman
member OF the Civil Service Commits
. sion, already is confronted with one
OF the most difficult problems a civil
service commissioner ever was called
on to solve.
A woman's organization has placed
before Commissioner Gardener the
case OF q young American woman who
was serving as a secretary in one of the
United States legations when the war
broke out.
She married . native Of that coun-
try. Following the end Of the war
she returned to this country. Now
she desires to enter the civil service
of her own country. but finds that she
is debarred. as an alien. from taking
the civil service examination.
1t is not believed that there is much
that Mrs. Gardener can do in the case,
although she has expressed her keen
est sympathy. The law which debars
aliens from taking the civil service
examinations is very strict. and the
| bars have been let down In only few
cases.
Only an executive order, 1t is under
stood, could allow the woman in ques-
ton to take the examination, al
though she is q native-born American.
Her husband 10 living in his own
country. and she IL not divorced from
him.
The situation points, according to
| the woman's organization, to the In
equality Of treatment received by
women. AZ compared with men. in the
general laws Of the country.
