enty thousand girl war workers in

something about what iaitli*ulno *
and efficiency in Government service

that her extraord nary record becamr
known.
In 54 years Miss Hyde never hat
been tardy . In 54 years she had neve

served under 12 Presidents of th'

of her tasks. She is in perfect health
vith aU her faculties unimpaired. A*

bities of her position, for, as she told
