Mrs. Rockefeller
Once Had Ambition
To Publish Paper
• Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr., con
fided to a group of newspaper wom
en here Wednesday that she once
had an ambition to publish a news
paper herself. The members of the
National Women’s Press Club were
her guests at lunch.
"When I was a girl I had an am
bition to own a newspaper of my
own." she said, "because I thought I
that then I could have a paper that i
would always toll the truth. But 1
have now learned how difficult it is
sometimes to find the truth."
She aridari that she believes women j
can make a definite contribution to j
the newspaper world and that their j
influence will be on the side of a
high standard of accuracy.
Mrs. Rockefeller came to Wash
ington with l.er husband to attend
a dinner for the President given
Tuesday night by Secretary Work.

CAR NO. 13 FOUND.
Dr. J. D. Rogers Believes Number j
Brings Luck.
His faith in the number 13 still un
daunted. Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, head of
Casualty Hospital, visited police head
quarters this morning to claim his car. *
which was stolen Wednesday near Vcr- '
mont avenue and H street and rccov- j
cred last night where it had been aban- j
doned at Hatfield. Va. Detectives Wolfe
and Jett returned it to its owner.
"13" is the number or the license
plate on Dr. Roger's car. He has had
that number for several years and plans
to apply again for it next year. He ex- j
plained that although his car has been j
stolen three times since it has borne
the numerals "13." it has always been I
recovered undamaged.

Office Buildings With Official Bibles
Discovery that the Senate and House
Office Buildings were not in official pos
session of that most-read of all books,
the Bible, has led to the donation to
Congress of two handsome leather
bound volumes by the American Bible
Society.
The somewhat startling disclosure was
1 made during a recent committee hcar-
I ing in the Senate Office Building. A
Bible was sen! for as a witness prepared
| to testify, but none could be found wlth
'in ready reach
A man In Arizona heard about the
| incident and sent money to the Bible ;
Society with a request that Bibles be
supplied to both (he office buildings.
The volumes were turned over to Sena
tor Overman of North Carolina this ;
week by Rev. James H. Hyatt, secretary
of the National Capital agency of the
society. The Senator thanked the so
ciety and expressed appreciation for the
work it is doing.
One of the Bibles was turned over
to the custodian of the Senate Office
| Building and the other to the custodian
of the House Office Building. Supt.
Purchase of the Senate Building de
clared today that he could not remem
ber of any call being made for a Bible
during the past 20 years, until the
recent committee request. He said
