Brisk Salutes
OF Women Put
Men to Shame
Uniformed Girls Walk
Through Capital With
Purbosetul Air
By Helen Lombard

By Helen Lombard
Many little girls who used to play
with dolls would have preferred to
| play soldier-at least that is the
opinion of military men In contact
with feminine military organiza-
tions.
No sooner are the ladies In uni
form than their shoulders square
out, their step springs in military
jauntiness and the snappiness of
their bearing puts some men in
uniform to shame. There are hun
dreds OF Canadian and English
women serving as both privates and
officers in Washington. They work
in the British and Canadian En-
bassies and in the various military
missions.
Most OF the British WAACS are
sturdier than the average Ameri-
can girl and show no signs of hav-
ing diet fads. Their low-heeled
shoes permit them to take long
steps and they stride through the
streets with purposeful air. Their
hours are long with little time of
for the MONDAY meal. While the
Washington restaurants are crowded
with men, the uniformed girl is sell
dom seen in public eating place
In one of the British agencies, the
girl employees eat lunch on a bare
wooden table and religiously limit
themselves to a half-hour meal. A
tin of sardines and glass of milk
will do and If a fork is missing q
spoon does just as well. The lady
soldiers. most of whom man a type
writer or an adding machine, give
themselves to their war jobs with all
the zeal Of storm troopers.
Most of the girls in uniform walk
to and from their jobs. They scru-
pulously salute all officers of the
United Nations and are adding
hundreds of hands to the number
which are being continuously raised
in salute in the wartime Capital
Off1cers of the armed forces who
used to complain about the laxity
Of discipline in Americas new army,
attributed 1t in part to the fact that
soldiers were not required to salute
their superiors except on parade
All that is changed now and the
officers in Washington see more
hands raised than it is comfortable
to cope with. Under war regula-
tions soldiers and sailors are re-
quired to salute anything In COM
missioned rank in uniform. Oflcers
who must answer each such gesture
are now avoiding the main thor
oughfares when they circulate in
Washington on foot.
Even in Washington park, how
ever, on a Sunday morning with no
soldier or sailor in sight, ranking
officer may find himself obliged to
salute. Admiral Ernest j. King was
strolling pensively across Lafayette
Park on q hot Sunday morning
when he was suddenly reused from
his reverie by a stentorian: Good
morning, sir!" The greeting was
accompanied by the smartest mill
tary salute he had ever seen and
two Canadian WAACS, marching
in step from church to ONCE briskly
passed him.

To Lose Her Accent

Tala Birell, soon to be seen in
RKO-Radio's Seven Miles From
Alcatraz," played on Broadway with
the late John Barrymore in MY
Dear Children" Because she con-
sidered herself hampered in her
picture work by a Viennese accent,
she leaped at the stage offer as a
chance to improve her diction by
constant daily repetitions of lines
on the stage.
The stage role, strangely enough,
required that as Countess Felice de
Britonne she use an even stronger
accent than she already had. Her
study in learning to accentuate her
accent actually helped her to over
come it in everyday speech.
