WOMEN POLICE
TRIBUTE TO THEIR EFFICIENCY. (Australain and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received February 27, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, February 25. Women's success as policewomen was paid a remarkable tribute by Sic Neville Macready in his evidence before a special committee. The successful women included domestics, nurses and 'bus conductresses, who took up ju-jltsu and other physical training, the same as men: they also undertook night duty guarding powder magazines. Sir Neville Macready urged Die employment of and increasing proportion of women. It was desirable that they should be accorded power to arrest when it was intended to entrust women with the whole work of looking after women of easy virtue. The conditions of employment should be similar to the men's, including pensions. The class of woman was immaterial, so long as she had the human element largely developed, and was not a faddist.
