Speaking for the males in the

described as good-looking, intelli-

inches tall and weighing 100

overseas at Pearl Harbor or one

many have gone over in the last
few months is a military secret.
Men needn't worry ABOUT the
Marine girls losing the feminine
viewpoint, Colonel Streeter says.
Though they have learned to wear
uniform and forsake frills, even
now they tend to supplement the
uniform with do-dads in the hair
and jewelry.
They've been keeping cupid
pretty busy, too. In two years
more than 1000 women have tied
the matrimonial knot. More than
1000 were married before they
Joined. Marrying is all right, Col
onel Streeter says, but when it
comes time to have children, the
Marine Corps is no place for them.
However, with an eye to the flu
tre, most Of the girls take ex-
ension courses in foreign Language
es domestic sciences and other
fields to equip themselves for
their postwar job of homemaker.
These past two years have
meant double duty for the colonel.
