ANSWERING WAR CALL OF HER COUNTRY

The girls and young women of the country are responding in large numbers to Uncle Sam's call for aid. This photograph, which was taken at Oakland, Cal., shows a naval surgeon examining a young woman who offered her services to the naval reserve. The young women will take the places of men in the yeoman, wireless, first-aid and similar services. The physical examination for young woman applicants is not strenuous. Their heart movement is examined and they usually pass the test.
