ELEVEN WOMEN BECOME DOCTORS

State Board of Medical Examiners Announce That 53 Applicants Have Passed Severe Tests.

Eleven women were among the fifty-three successful applicants for licenses to practice medicine in this state who appeared before the semiannual session of the state board of medical examiners. Sixteen were unsuccessful. The board concluded its meeting at the Hotel Perry by thoroughly going over and rechecking the grade marks and so tedious was the work that the names of those who succeeded were not read until after midnight by Dr. Robert Percy Smith, president.

Those who passed are:

Frances McCoy Copeland, Robert Tilden Boals, Gertrude Phillips, Elmer L. Smith, Thomas E.P. Gocher, Russell Soule Reed, Warrall O. Gettey, Hugh Roy Mustard, J. Atwood Whittaker, Dick George Brungis, Max Williams Brachwogel, Joseph S. Hehir, Thomas D. Tuttle, Eugene Kennedy Dwight, Vernon Earle Crow, Joseph Raymond Perry, John L. Myers, Harold P. Alison, Charles S. Pascoe, Richey L. Waugh, Josiah S. Davies, Daniel H. Bell, Van Newhall Marsh, Daisy Grace Walcott, Fred N. Carver, Kozo Shimotahara, William D. Middleton, William Barhard McNertheny, David R. Butler, Ernest Dexter Hitchcock, Thomas Oren Watson, Herman Price Houyle, Leonora Grant, J.F. Kelly, William J. Jones, Edmund Howard Smith, Adah L. Collison, Donald Vaughn Trueblood, Alfred Herman Winkel, Aureutta May Agee, J. Thomas Whitty, John Dimon, David Henry McCheney, Mabel Sheek Hockom, Eva Jeanette McKay, Emmogene P. Sherman, Lydia S. Merrifield, Hazel Dell Eidson, Daniel F. Pennie.

It was further announced that the licenses of A.F.A. Gaul, of Centralia, and Fred Peacock, of Seattle, had been revoked for unprofessional conduct. Four more cases, it was said, will be determined shortly.
