1T Is Just as necessary to have a
knowledge of parliamentary law to
be an officer or to take any active
part in an organization as 1t Is for
people in general to have a knowl-
edge of the rules of etiquette"
An ardent feminist and founder
of the National women's Party, she
is a connecting link between Julia
Ward Howe. Susan B. Anthony and
others, all of whom she knew, and
the present. n
At 96 Mrs. Fox refuses to live. in
the past. This spring she attended
the Michigan State Federation of
Women's Club Convention, serv-
Ing as parliamentarian at all the
sessions, and week later she did
the same Job for the State DARa
Her grammar and phrasing are
exceptional, and she expects others
to have the same regard for correct
English, is impatient when they
don't. She soundly criticizes the
timid woman who shirks her re-
sponsibilities of having and express
ing opinions on public affairs to pub
lie officials.
Despite some failures, she believes
women are doing a wonderful Job
In the war" Sometimes, she muses..
Il wonder what the reaction will be
when It's all over. 1t seems to me
they are doing all and more than
could be expected of them-they are
making great sacrifices and working
cheerfully."
Her sharpness and insistence- on
attention to detail and procedure,
which make many who do not know
her fear her-she has been known
to break her cane when an i'm
portant point of order was violated
have one basic cause: She wants
women to earn and to win the ac-
knowledgment which she herself
had to fight to achieve.

Moreover, women are beginning
to move into more and more super
visory positions as their terms of
working experience warrant such
promotions, it was stated.
Women Are Used as Guards.
The adaptability Of women to
patrol and guard duties afforded
real surprise. according to the War
Department release. Now the Ord
nance Department has about 1,450
women policing its installations and
the Quartermaster Corps has more
than 200 women guards and al
most $50 women patrolmen. The
Army Air Forces and Chemical War
fare Service also are using them
Most of the women guards are in
uniform, have drill exercises and are
trained to handle pistols. A num-
ber are auxiliary military police and,
when miltarized, are subject to the
Articles of War.
Women have eXcelled as store
keepers for automotive parts and
general repair shops at large Army
posts and as testers and cleaners for
the guns fired at the Aberdeen Prov
ing Grounds. More than 100 women
are now employed as inspectors in
war plants in the New England area
alone, to interpret and enforce Army
standards for the Chemical Warfare
Service. The Sacramento Air Depot,
Mcclellan Field, Calf, had the first
all-feminine dispatching team, their
work being to route the planes off
and on the field.
The War Department release
pointed out that the percentage of
women employees of the Army varies
with the installations, some of the
smaller stations running as low as
10 per cent, while several of the
larger posts run to go per cent.
Figures Are Given.
Women comprise more than IS
per cent of the Army Service Forces
civilian personnel here in Washing
ton and more than 80 per cent of
the employees of field establishments.
Overall figures show the Ordnance
Department now has 106,673 women
employees: the Signal Corps approxi-
mateliy 10000. the Army Air Forces
more than $4,000, its announced
goal for civilian women at work be-
fore the end of the first year of the
replacement plan.
In addition to training given on
the job, thousands of women have
received training in schools, with
the cooperation of the Office of
Education. Women employees have
been willing to 60 to other cities for
their training and return to their
home stations for the work. In
some centers where housing short
ages exist, they live in dormi-
tories under conditions somewhat
similar to those of their sisters in
the uniforms of the armed services.

DETROIT, Aug. Mrs. Emma
A. Fox started helping clubwomen
to run their meetings in a business
like fashion long before some of to-
days madame presidents" were
born.
She got out her first little blue
book" on parliamentary usage in
1902 and it's been the clubwoman's
Bible" ever since.
And now Mrs. Fox is es. She
complains that she's "vegetating "
It's her sort OF vegetating. She's
still driving at parliamentary per-
fection. So the fourth edition of
her book has been issued with 16
additional pages she felt would
help. They tell the legal rights
and duties of individual members
of organizations.

sists in answering her tremendous
mail promptly. She keeps up with
all radio news broadcasts. Her
sons apartment is directly beneath
hers, but she's taking the RESPONSE
bility for wangling her own coal

winter.
Her mail can be partially ex-
planned by her club affiliations. She
Is parliamentarian for IA national
groups, and honorary vice presi-
dent for the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.
She's recognized as the country's
pioneer clubwoman. She has had
her niche in Who's Who for q
years. She's been teacher, author,
mother - and now great-grand-
mother.
She was born Emma Stowell In
Binghamton, N. Y, March 30, l847,
OF Revolutionary War stock. For
years, she kept the year of her birth
a secret, maintaining that a woman
never should tell her age until she
was IS.
so, in 1922, at one Of the annual
birthday luncheons which Detroit
women arrange for her, she startled
them by saying: 81 will keep you in
suspense no longer. I know that for
years you've been trying to find out
now old I am. Now I am going to
tell you. 1 was born the day Gen
Scott entered Vera Cruz"
1t has been nearly a half century
since Mrs. Fox became interested In
parliamentary law, through which
she has helped women exert leader
snip by giving them the power to be
heard and to do things. Her success
say her students, lies in her ability
TO make parliamentary law as fasci-
mating to others as it is to herself.
In 1893, at the fourth biennial
convention Of the General Fedora
ton OF Women's Club in Denver. she
met Miss Helen Winslow, who pub
lished the Clubwomen Magazine and
who knew of Mrs. Fox's interest ii,
parliamentary law. Miss Winslow
| asked Mrs. Fox, then 81, to write a
series OF articles following the style
used in a magazine especially noted
then, as now, for its fashions. Mrs
Fox says she promised, went home
and studied the magazine, decided
she could do at least as we'll.
She had been writing the articles
for two years when the federation
asked her to issue them in book
form. This book was adopted as the
parliamentary authority of the or
ganization in 1902, the same year in

AAUW Board Scores Failure
To Employ Older Women

Looking to the postwar period
the board strongly Endorsed a state
ment issued by the Women's Ad-
visory Committee of the War Man
power Commission to the effect that
The Government and industry
must not assume that all women
can be treated as reserve group
during war only, nor should those
who wish to stay in the labor mar
ket be accused of taking mems jobs.
The right of the individual woman
to work must be recognized and
provided for, just as is the right of
the individual man to work"
The board also sent a protest to
the United States Civil Service
Commission against the wording
and spirit" of manual listing wom-
en- as physically handicapped" The
second edition of the manual is now
in the process of being printed, how
ever, and has been revised, accord
ing to a reply to the protest from
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
commission.
"Operations Manual for the Place
ment of Women and the Physically
Handicapped" was the title of the
manual to which the AAUW OBJ
jected.
The board wrote in part, at is no
less than shocking in this modern
day, when women are doing almost
everything that men have done, as
well as their own fundamentally es-
sential work, and when Government
agencies are clamoring for all-out
use of 'womanpoWer' that women in
directive from Government
agency should be classified as
physically handicapped along with
persons with orthopedic handicaps,
with vision and hearing defects and
with chronic diseases. That such a

niversary this week makes it news.
A War Department release points
out that Saturday, August IA, marks

cflanical jobs for the Army, the re-
tease announces.
Women now comprise approx
mately SO per cent of all the civilian
esnployes on the War Department

courage and their patriotism were

nine service commands efficiently
and in increasing numbers.

In all the War Department installa-
tions, their skills are invaluable and
their devotion to duty is proven.
They are testing guns, making am

keep the machinery of war moving"
More than 400 different skills are
performed by women for the Army.
Convoy driving for camps, posts
and stations throughout the service
commands was an early assignment.

Jury Likely 10 Get
Enrol Flynn Case
This Afternoon
State Attacks Claim
Accusers Testified to
Escape Prosecution
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.-The
State concludes today its final argu-
ment for conviction of Enrol Flynn
on statutory charges with the case
scheduled to be placed in the hands
of the jury some time this after
noon.
Deputy District Attorney John
Hopkins denounced as rubbish
yesterday the contentious of Flynn S
attorney that the two complaining
witnesses testified against the movie
actor in hope OF avoiding prosecu-
tion for acts of their own.
Concerning Defense Attorney Jer-
ry Giesler's argument that l6-year-
old Peggy Satterlee's motive was to
escape prosecution for an illegal op-
Grafton she was alleged to have un-
dergone last summer, Mr.. Hopkins
said:
The illegal operation case is
pending. Whether anything will be
done about it, I can't say No i'm
munity has been given to any one by
reason of Miss Satterlee's testimony
But I don't believe she gives it a
second thought. I don't think she
knows where the man is at this
time"
Regarding 17-year-old Betty
Hansen. declared by Attorney Gels
Ter to have been a witness against
the actor because she feared pros
ecution in another case, Mr.. Hop
kins declared:
"She will be released from Juve-
nile Hall, where she has been held
for running away. She'll get out not
because she testified in this case,
but because the Juvenile Court will
release her"
Miss Hansen testified Flynn as
saulted her after a dinner party in
Bel-Air last September q.
Attorney Giesler concluded a de-
tailed attack on the girls stories
by pleading to the jury, almost in a
whisper:
In all fairness to a human being,
look on this defendant not as
motion picture actor, not as any
other than man on the street, a
man who is one of us, entitled to the
same impartial consideration. II
you do that, in accordance with the
Golden Rule, I'm satisfied you will
have done your duty"
