Women First Aiders' ruined
To Man AmbuIunces Here

Washington's shortage of phy-
sicians soon may find women
first aiders" at one hospital
manning ambulances and giving
emergency treatment in response
to police calls.
For the first time in local history
Casualty Hospital now is giving a
course Of training to eight women
volunteers, who are riding the am
balances in daytime with a physi-
clan, and attending lectures at the
hospital
With medical students attending
school in the day, these first-aiders
may be put in charge of the Cas-
ualty Hospital day ambulance serv-
ice if the shortage of doctors be-
comes more acute, it was said by
Miss Elizabeth M. Rogers, Casualty
Hospital superintendent.
Meanwhile, the police who man
the combination scout car-ambul-
ances are trained in first aid them.
selves. While they may have to
adjust themselves to the new or
der" and be tactful in working with
women flrst-aiders, it is no secret
in medical circles that police, when
an ambulance arrives, would like to
see some one In charge with back
ground Of medical knowledge. The
war has brought about the situation,
what with trained physicians enter
ing the armed services, it was
pointed out.
Miss Rogers said the eight women
first-aiders were supplied by the

ices. Each is graduate Of the

so long for the wings of an angel,
or anyway of an army pilot, that
he finally took matters into his
own hands-with astonishing re-
suits.
Every morning Sergeant Fens-

Burnside of Detroit for a chance
to go on a bombing mission.

Lieutenant, "It's o. *. with me-"
1t didn't take Fenster long-in-
deed, it didn't take him long
enough. "All right, Lieutenant,
the Major says 1 can CO." he re-
ported after an absence of several
seconds.
Well, a little later, there was a
passenger ON a big American
bomber ranging over Lac, an en-
envy base on New Guinea. Fens-
ter amused the crew by making
faces at a Japanese Zero fighter
which had taken an unWhOlesOme
interest in Burnside's shop. They
laughed on the other side of their
faces, however, when he suddenly
seized a spare machine gun and
shot down the enemy plane-just
