WOMEN NAVAL ARCHITECTS.
By a majority of 491 votes to 220, the British Institution of Naval Architects Ims decided to admit women as members on equal terms with men. When the result of the referendum was announced at the annual conference in London, Sir Alfred Yarrow said a lady was eminently adapted to settle the graceful lines of a ship above water. He mentioned that a recent warship attained a. speed of 38.6 knots. That was the best speed obtained, and the lines of that ship were determined partly by “ a young lady named Koary.” This lady, Miss Emily W. 'L. Keary, who is 26 years of age, Miss R, M. Parsons, chairman of the Women’s 1 Engineering Society, and Miss B. C. Thorneycroft, wore the first members elected under the new rule.
