GIRL DIPLOMATS
PICKED ON MERIT
Open Up New Field of Activ-
ity for Women.

Washington. - Recent appointments
Of Miss Pattie Hockaday Field Of Den
yer, to the post of vice consul at
Amsterdam, Holland, and Miss Lucille
Acherson of Ohio, as attache to the
legation at Berne, Switzerland,
marks the opening Of a new field,
hitherto closed, to women. Until this
year the State department has been
firm in its opposition to women in
foreign service, being convinced that
men were better adapted to the re-
quirements of those positions.
But since the passage Of the Rogers
bill, which removed appointments
largely from politics and based them
on merit, new era in the foreign
service policy has begun. A definite
system Of promotions on merit and
increased salaries has made diplomacy
offer greater inducements and oppor-
tunities for a career for young Amer
lean men and women who are willing
to work hard enough to get into 1t.
Miss Acherson was the first woman
in this country to achieve a place In
the diplomatic corps. Her appoint
ment followed three years service in
the State department here and was
won In competitive examination.
Miss Field was one of twenty sue
cessful candidates of nearly $50 taking
tests for the consular service about a
year ago. Since that time she has
been assigned to work in the State
department and has been one of sew
enteen students in the department 8
special foreign service training school.
This school was established as a re-
suit of the passage of the Rogers bill,
and exists for further training for
those who already have passed the
diplomatic examinations.
A graduate of the University of
Colorado and Radcliffe college in Cam
bridge, Miss Field passed year in
Paris in order to fill the State de-
partment's requirement that appli-
cants for foreign service must have a
speaking and reading knowledge of at
least one foreign language. She then
came to Washington, prepared further
for the examinations and passed with
honors. She Is twenty-four years old.

u. S. Hero Cannot Receive
500 Awarded With Medal

Washington. = Isidor Nordstrom,
boatswain on the old battleship Kear-
sarge, cannot receive a $100 gratuity
awarded him early last year with a
Congressional Medal of Honor for con-
spicuous bravery almost 20 years ago,
and it Is possible he may not receive
the medal itself.
Comptroller General McCarl has
held that the law passed since the
war prohibiting the award of the
Medal of Honor except in cases Of
operations against foreign enemy,
made 1t impossible for the government
to give Nordstrom the cash gratuity
His decision also raised the question
whether the medal itself had been
properly awarded, although the act
for which he was cited was performed
two decades ago.

ALLAN HUNTER WRITES
"YOUTH'S ADVENTURE"
Book of Former Union Church
Pastor Published by Appleton
& Co. of New York.

The many friends of the Rev. Allan
A. Hunter, M. A, for over year pas
tor of the Palisade Union church, will
be delighted to hear that he is the
author of a new book, entitled
youths Adventure" which has been
published by Appleton & Co. of New
York.
DR.. Harry Emerson Fosdick, under
whom Mr.. Hunter studied in the I'm
ion Theological Seminary, has written
the introduction to youths Adven
ture." In it he says:
This seems to me book of very
considerable significance. Much is
being said about the younger genera
ton. In this book an important and
often misunderstood part of the young
er generation becomes articulate and
speaks for itself. Anyone who knows
the better sort of mind and character
among students in our colleges and
professional schools will recognize
that this essay voices their unrest,
their impatience of conventionality,
their irreverence before traditional
bogies and at the same time their Sc
riousness, their candor, their ardent
faith in a more decent world, their
search for vital religion.
Men of older years would better
take seriously the attitude that this
book represents. Some of us are COM
mitted to it's main position. Having
lost all confidence in the old minded
from whose senescent ineptitude came
the Great War and the miserable bun
Cling of it's aftermath, we have turned
to the sort of Youth Movement which
this essay stands for as a hopeful
sign. We trust that, so far from re-
signing it's questioning of traditional
solutions, it's hatred of cant and hy-
pocrisy, it's love of candor, it's uncon-
ventional venturesomeness, the new
generation will be remorseless in
bringing the family, the church, the
nation, the industrial order, the war
system, to the bar of it's independent
judgment"
The author is an optimist regarding
youth and feels that the oncoming
generation by facing facts frankly will
be able to solve many of the perplex-
ing problems of life.
Rev. Hunter supplied the pulpit at
st. Johns church in Berkeley, Cal,
this past summer during the absence
of his brother, DR.. Stanley Armstrong
Hunter who was in Europe.
He and Mrs. Hunter sailed for ia
pan September l and during the next
year will get in touch with the leaders
of the Youth Movement in Japan and
China. At present Mr.. and Mrs. Hun
ter are in Peking.
Allan A. Hunter is the son of the
late Rev. William Armstrong Hunter,
Phi. D., pastor of Calvary Presbyterian
church at Riverside.
After graduating from the high
school at Riverside he spent four
years in Princeton University, gradu-
ating with the class in 1916. He
taught two years in Assiut College,
Egypt. Before the capture of Jerusa-
lem he served with the Egyptian Ex-
peditionary Force as a Y. M. c. A. sec
retary and spent the next two years
with the Red Cross Commission to
Palestine. Returning through India,
China and Japan, he formed friend
ships with many students and work
ers for international good will

frequently used interchangeably all

APE" is more particularly applied to
the tailless, manike monkeys of the

while monkey is more often used
when speaking of the smaller aboreal

London.-The Dalai Lama,

already are afloat that several
thousand Mongolians are now
marching toward Lhasa. 1t is

Did MARION BRkzIER
SAW HER WAY OUT?
THAT'S THE QUESTION
Alleged Check Forger, Jail Break.
er and Bigamist Still at Lib
erty and Still in the SWIM
ding Business.

Bergen County oflicialdom will
never forget the name of Marion
Brazier, check forger and jailbreaker,
who is supposed to have escaped from
the County Jail in Hackensack sew
eral weeks ago by saving a bar in
the window with a saw she had con-
cealed in her corset. She first caused
a stir in official circles by her brazen
swindling operations in the county,
then by her sensational escape from
the "pen" and now the latest rumor
is she did not saw the bar at all and
Prosecutor A. G. Hart promises some
startling disclosures in connection
with her escape.
Sheriff Nimmo this past week took
a trip to Pleasantville, N. Y, to try
and identify a female bogus check
passer, who was under arrest there,
as Mrs. Brazier but came back dis
appointed.
In connection with the escape the
Hackensack Evening Record of Mon
day last said,
Prosecutor A. C. Hart stated this
morning that he did not intend to
present the Jail escape case to the
Grand Jury at today's session of that
body.
Strong rumors, based on deduc-
tions of those studying the case, are
did not leave via the window with it's
sawed bar.
"This makes her escape the more
mysterious.
1.-THE Prosecutor said this morning
that he and Sheriff George P. Nim-
mo will confer on the case later this
week and that the presentation of
the case to the Grand Jury will
await the result of the conference.
There are indications that the
woman's escape will produce spec
tacular features before it is COM
pletely solved"
On last Tuesday morning County
Detective Nathan Allyn said that the
Pennsylvania Hotel in New York
City is the latest victim of this clever
crook.
On November 2, the female swim
dler cashed a seventy-five dollar check
at the New York hostelry.
Registering as Mrs. Beatrice Ker-
nening, of Philadelphia, Mrs Brazier
spent day at the Pennsylvania. =
BY producing an automobile license
and other credentials to the credit
manager of the hotel Mrs. Brazier
managed to cash check for that
amount drawn on the Southwestern
National Bank of Indianapolis.
She left the hotel Immediately, neg
lecting to pay the bill she incurred
in her nights stopover.
Mrs. Beatrice Kernening, OF Phila-
delphia, is reality. She reported
the loss of her handbag while shop
ping in one of the large metropolitan
stores. 1t Is believed that Mrs. Bra
Mer OF one of her confederates
relieved the woman of the pocket
book.
Detective Allyn, who has obtained
a thorough history of the feminine
Jail breaker, also announced this
morning that she is bigamist.
Upon learning of the check being
passed at the Pennsylvania Hotel,
Detective Allyn visited that place.
The credit manager positively
identified picture of Mrs. Brazier
as being the woman for whom he had
cashed the check
He said that she wore a fox
trimmed coat and the small black
hat in her possession when she broke
out of the County Jail, October 2S.
1t is understood that the Grand
Jury will probe her getaway from
the Bergen County jail when it con-
venes on Tuesday.
