Mrs. Roosevelt has added an

firsts as First Lady. She wants
to join the Woman's National
Press Club as an active member.
At the business meeting of the
club, next Tuesday, her applica-
!tion for membership will be voted
on just as if she were any other
newspaper woman about to enter
a strictly professional organiza-
tion.
In the list of applicants to be
considered Mrs. Roosevelt is de-
scribed as a coIumniSt. When she
was proposed for membership by
Miss Doris Fleeson. club president,
and seconded by Miss Ruby Black
and Miss Bess Furman, her eligi-
bility was considered by the mem
bership committee not on the
grounds Of her position as the wife
Of the President of the United
States, but on the grounds Of
journalistic qualifications.

However, Mrs. Roosevelt's life. 1t
was pointed out, is made up OF
about 100 occupations that would
be principal to any average

MOTHER SAVES
DAUGHTER, SELF

Keeping cool while fast-flyiing
express train roared down the
tracks toward her stalled automo,
bile, Mrs. Stella Wiseman, 80, OF
Berwyn Heights, Md, succeeded
in scrambling from the automo-
bile and dragging her 7-year-old
daughter, Ruth, with her, a sec.
ond before the train demolished
the car.
IT just don't know how I did
it," sighed Mrs. Wiseman, wife of
Daniel Wiseman, a special police
man at University Of Maryland,
after the first few moments of ex-
citement. She then bemoaned the
loss of a pocketbook containing
considerable money.
Mrs. Wiseman was driving her
daughter to the Holy Redeemer
School at Berwyn.
AS she was attempting to start
the car, the warning bell at the
crossing signaled the approach of
a train, a New York-Washington
express. When it crashed into
the automobile, the car was
thrown $50 feet to a nearby coal
pile.
Mrs. Wiseman apparently was
unshaken by her experience. She
went home with a neighbor after
seeing her daughter safely to
school.

SPRING AT END,
COLD RETURNS

With a drop of 81 degrees ir
temperature, Washington's pre-
mature spring was at an enc
today.
After reaching a high Of IS
degrees Sunday afternoon, the
mercury plunged down to 81
degrees, the freezing point, early
today. There was a heavy frost
to nip buds that had started dur
ing the warm spell last week.
The unusual weather was
climaxed with the appearance o1
a meteor last night, the second
in a week. The meteor flashed
across the skies shortly after {
o'clock, and was seen by hundreds
of persons, many of whom thought
it was a blazing airplane.
What with spring in winter and
meteors at dusk, Capt. N. H. Heck
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey
added to the problem by predict
ing an epidemic of earthquakes
during the year.
Last year, he explained, was a
mild one, with only 56 earth
quakes. Following such a quiet
period, he said, a renewal oi
activity may be expected.
