Harding 's Regime Plans To Recognize Women

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Recognition e,f women to the extent that even women have not dreamed of is in the cards under the Harding administration.

A number of important bureau positions and places on various commissions that have heretofore been f.lled only by mn are being set aside for women. Prominent Washington women commend the inautrural corrmiiitee for its decUion to recognize the women thia year.
