can notes, which bring to life
the action there now.
Mrs. Ewell speaks excellent
French and understands and
speaks a little German and Ital-
ian. Right now she's taking up
occupational therapy as part of
her Gray Lady work.
Her job is a full-time volunteer
one. She works mainly from the
District Red Cross headquarters,
but also frequently visits the IL
hospitals where the Gray Ladies
serve. Each of these hospitals
has its own chairman, but. they
are all under the supervision Of
the chairman of the corps-Mrs.
EWell-so this necessitates many
consultations with them. Also
she works with the new recruits,
who must pass the scrutiny of
both corps chairman and hospi-
tai chairman before being all
lowed to serve as Gray Ladies.
She's an alert, up-and- coming
woman who sets high standard
of duty for herself and, we rather
suspect, for those who work un-
der her. The Gray Ladies of
Washington are fortunate indeed
in having her for their chairman.

several Gray Ladies are already
qualified to teach 1t-as is, of
course, Mrs. Ewell herself.
Her life reads like story book.
She has lived just about all over
the world and done interesting
things wherever she was. She
adores travelling, as does her hus-
band, and when he was in the
field service of the United States
Army 1t was, so to speak, right
down their alley.
Once the Ewells went to ia
maica for two months, started
travelling from there and didn't
come home for seven and a half
years! They lived in Germany
for a year prior to the last war,
went from there to Switzerland
and were there when war was
declared. Then her husband
was ordered to France and later
was an attache to the peace con-
ference.
He was also an attache of the
1nter-Allied Mission to Poland in
1919. Shortly after that the
Ewells returned to Washington.
They remained here about six
months-long enough to attend
to some business-and then they

death of modishly attired woman
whose badly mutilated body was
found yesterday on the New York
Central Railroad tracks near here.
Coroner H. M. Warner expressed
belief the unidentified woman met
death before being run over by a
freight train.
Sheriff Lester Irwin said thor
ough search failed to produce any
clues to the woman's identity.

pensively dressed and we'll groomed."
She was wearing a smartly tailored
bluish-green suit bearing the label

a shop that caters to movie actresses.
A dark brown fur piece was crumpled
under the body. Nearby lay black
hat. No purse or luggage was found.
She was brunei, about 80 years
old, weighing about 12O pounds and
feet inches tall.
The sheriff said at least one train
had passed over the body, crushing
the head and feet.
The coroner said an autopsy
showed the woman had bled a lot,
but that no blood was found near
the tracks. He said all evidence in
dicated she had met death some
where else and theorized she might
have been dropped" from one train
and struck by another.
DR.. Warner said he and the sheriff
had asked New York Central police
to search for a piece of baggage or
some other clue that might lead to
Eer identity.
The coroner said a series of micro
