In New York By Helen Worden
NEW YORK, July 24.—Indiana students at Columbia university this summer are finding a combination girl’s college and military academy. Boys in civilian clothes are a rare sight on the Morningside Heights campus this year. In their place is a swarm of uniformed students at the midshipman training school. I happened to be walking toward the Grove, meeting-place for the summer schoolers today, when the ‘steeple clock struck 10. Like toy soldiers out of a box, rows of men in khaki came marching out of the Columbia dormitories on: their way to class. Each carried his books in his right hand. The Grove looks decidedly feminine. Tacked to the Indiana tree I found the names of a number of your home state students. There were only a couple of men listed, ” 2 ® AS I READ the list, Helen Allen, who teaches home economics at the Thomas Carr Howe high school in Indianapolis, came up. In spite of the hot day she looked cool in a becoming blue flowered seersucker made with a square neck. “This is my fifth summer at Columbia,” she told me. “I'm trying to see everything possible while I'm here, because it may be my last time in New York for a long while. I've put all my stghtseeing plans down in this little green book. On
The Roman chariots were fascinating. I even saw some earthen pots
;|used for cooking back in the days of
the Roman empire.” Helen is staying at 417 Riverside dr. She arrived in New York on the night of a blackout. Fortunately she managed to get settled before the lights went off. “Then I leaned out the window and watched ‘everyone else put out their lights,” she said. “The people across the street did the same thing.
,|For once everyone was very neigh-
borly. It was chilly. I sneezed. From out of the darkness a booming voice called ‘God bless you!’ ” 8 ” 2 HELEN'S ITINERARY includes the New York university hall of fame and the Bronx 200. She’s also visiting a variety of museums and attending a number of the stadium concerts. This week she’s going to see “This is the Army,” the all-soldier review that features Joe Cook’s son, Joe Jr. “In between times I study,” she said. “In my nutrition course, we experiment with white mice and rats. We can see in only a short time how various diets affect them, because their life cycle is so much faster than the human one.” Here’s one of Helen's recipes to go easy on your pocketbook. It’s also good to eat. BAKED POLENTA Put a layer of cooked corn meal mush in the bottom of a casserole. On top of it spread a layer of stewed tomatoes seasoned as desired with chopped onions and salt pork or other meat. Next add a layer of
' lgrated cheese. Repeat with an-
other layer of corn meal, tomatoes and cheese. Cook in a slow oven until the flavor has seeped through. Serve with a fresh vegetable salad.

. Although the WNRC is to the
navy what the WAAC is to the army, the two units will be differ-
ent in many respects, including: 1. Overseas service: The girl bluejackets will be limited to shore United States. They will not serve on combat ships or in airplanes. The WAAC’S, on the other hand, may be sent abroad.
Equal Pay With Men
2. Pay: Members of the WNRC will receive equal pay with naval men of the same rank. The WAAC auxiliaries start at only $21 a month, while their navy sisters will start at $50. 3. Age: For the WNRC: for the WAAC: 21-45.
4. Education: A college degree is necessary for an officer's commission in the WNRC, and a high school diploma will be required for enlisted women. Only a high school diploma is necessary for a WAAC officer, and a diploma is not required for an auxiliary. 5. Uniforms: Each member of the WNRC will be entitled to a $200 uniform allowance; uniforms are issued to WAACs. 6 Organization: The WNRC will be a part of the naval reserve, and will be under the same rules and regulations as govern all naval personnel. The WAAC is not integraied into the army, as, for example, tne army nurse corps; it is ar auxiliary to the army.

To Train at College
7. Training School: The officer candidates for the WNRC, it is expected, will be trained on the campus of a women’s college. The WAACs have their own military post at Fort Des Moines, Ia. 8. Size: The WNRC probably will not exceed 12,000. The WAAC bill stipulates 150,000 as the maximum size. Similarities of the two corps also appear: Women have been acceptec in both branches of the service to do “sit-down” jobs; they will be entitled to all benefits prescribed by law for civil employees of the services; members of both corps will serve only for the duration of the war, plus six months; neither corps will replace civil service per-
sonnel now employed by the army and navy.
