/ The newly appointed sub-chair-
man OF personnel and placement
tor the Red Cross Stan Assistants
Corps Of the District Of Columbia Ii
Mrs. Bradford swope. A stan as
sistsnt since 1910 Mrs. swope took
the course-four weeks Of lectures
here In Washington. She found the
lectures terribly interesting, espe-
eially since most Of the lecturers
were people qualified to give In
formation first-hand and also be-
cause. in addition to having its own
local chapter Of Red Cross, Washing
ton Is headquarters for National Red
Cross.
We asked her . little about the
lectures-what they were about etc.
They give . complete history Of
Red Cross" she told US, tell how It
serves the public and how each Red
Cross Corps functions and operates.
II you are a stafI assistant you must
not only know about your own corps
but about every other corp in Red
Cross." For instance Mrs. swope
has served In the Nurses Aide Office
doing clerical work as q star as-
sistant for over Z year. In every
Red Cross building there are stafY
assistants manning the information
desks-staf1 assistants work in the
Blood Donor Center in various local
hospitals. at clinics. at the Ameri-
can University helping the SPARs
to get orientated to Washington,
they run the library on wheels" :"
work for the Canteen Corps as
checkers. work in public relations.
and actually serve in every CORPS
where clerical or secretarial work is
needed.
Although no special secretarial
course is given these women, many
OF them know tipping and short
hand (this isn't necessary of course)
as does Mrs. Swope who went to busi-
ness school in her own native Cali
fornia, after her graduation from
the University Of California. Now
married to Washingtonian who is
on duty here as . major In the Ma
rine Corps, Mrs. Swope gives 4 great
deal Of time to her volunteer job.
There will be q new class start
ing In October" she told US "and we
need lots more stan assistants-so
I do hope well get them. II you're
interested you can call Republic $500
and ask for the Staff Assistants'
Corps or you can go to their
ONCE in the D. A. r. Building and
be interviewed by Mrs. swope.
You'll find her q very delightful
young woman, easy to talk to, capa-
bic and very much interested In her

Attempt To
Clarity Droft

washington, May 5.-(UP)-A
new directive designed to clear up
the draft status of men % and older
is being worked out by National
Selectiye Service headquarters and
may be announced shortly, 1t was
learned today.
Although authorities declined TO
reveal in advance any details Of
the projected new regulations. it was
believed that local draft boards
would be instructed soon not to
draft men over 30 this year who
are engaged in essential industry.
Meanwhile, the age group between
20 and 30 would be drawn upon only
to meet shortages IN the 1925
bracket.
Recent figures gathered by Eelec-
tive Service ofiiclalg. It was UNDER
stood. indicate that q substantial
pool OF men under 2e Is still avail
able. The easing Of pressure on
older men. II was said. was made
possible by the fact that this pool
is larger than previously estimated.
II appeared probable that the
proposed new regulations would be
discussed with state seleetive gerv-
Zee directors at a meeting sched-
uled here next week.
