House Painting Beats Housework
For 49-Year-Old Mother of Seven
AP Newsfeaiures
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mrs. Celia Von Wert paints
hotel hallways and rooms for a living and she finds it
more to iher liking than housework.
This mother of seven will tell you, too, that she
knows of no other woman who has such a job. But, she
adds, her work easily could be
done by other women “if they
just carried a little willing with
them.”
Mrs. Von Wert, 49, at present
is painting, plastering and paper
ing the interior of the Earle Hotel.
She prefers her job over any
other, and she has tried many.
And to debunk notions that her
painting chores require strength
beyond the call of womanly mus
cles, she exclaimed:
“It’s not hard to me. I believe
I can do any type of work there
is and I prefer this. It’s much
better than housework.”
She stands 5 feet 8 and weighs
183. She chooses to work ajone,
and can paint a room and a bath
in a day. She stands by her sex
when it comes to what she wears
on the job. She prefers a regular
dress.
Truman Names Henry H.
Fowler To Head Office
Of Defense Mobilization
WASHINGTON, (/P>—President
Truman Friday named Henry H.
Fowler, Washington and Virginia
attorney, as director of the Office
of Defense Mobilization.
Fowler, now Defense Produc
tion Administrator, thus moves up
to the top job in the government’s
civilian agencies connected with
the preparedness effort.
His new job was formerly held
by Charles E. Wilson, one-time
president of the General Electic
company. Wilson resigned last
March 31 after a dispute with the
administration over methods of
handling the steel strike.
Fowler originally had told the
President that he wished to leave
government service but advised
Truman that he would undertake
the Defense Mobilizer post and
stay on with the government until
December 31 this year.

TOOLS with sharp edges are
easily nicked in the average
home tool box. A hatchet is
especially vulnerable. A piece
of rubber hose makes a simple
hatchet boot. Split one side of
the hose to receive the blade
and use a thick rubber band
over the hatchet head to hold
the hose.

World Famous Violinist
Don’t Know From Nothin’
When It Comes to Taxes
WASHINGTON, (JP) -r- Fritz
Kreisler, world-famed violin vir
tuoso, and his wife settled tax
claims amounting to $1,384,513 in
1944 for $300,000, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue disclosed today.
The bureau quoted the Vienna
born violinist as saying he had
no intention of defrauding the
government but became involved
in the case through innocent
error, bad advice, and his own
complicated affairs.
Officials said the compromise
was accepted because of the age
of the case, the complex nature of
the government’s proof, Kreisler’s
stock market losses, and deduc
tions he was entitled to but had
not listed.
The bureau’s voluminous file
on the case indicated that the gov
ernment was somewhat dazzled
by its encounter with the great
artist, and that Kreisler lived up
to the best artistic tradition in
knowing practically nothing about
his prosperous but tangled affairs.
Kreisler said he had always de
pended upon advisers, adding: “I
have not the slightest commercial
sense.”
His wife, Harriet, told the bu
reau: “He knows nothing, nothing;
he can only fiddle, fiddle, fiddle.”
B. C. Game Commission1
To Booby-Trap Bears
VANCOUVER. B.C., (fP) — Up
wards of 50 black bears who’ve
invaded two suburbs here are
about to became victims ot one
of the worst double-crosses since!
Delilah clipped Samson.
The Game Commission has de
vised a Machiavellian trick to use
against the bears. The big bruins
have centered their depredations
on garbage cans and gardens. No
human have been molested.
Here’s the anti - bear gimmick
worked out by the commission:
It consists of a pipe, a .38 cal
iber shell loaded with cyanide
dust, a triggering device and a
cotton pad soaked in decaying
fish oil or other bear lure.
When the bear chews the cot
ton, the shell fires and shoots the
poison straight down the animal’s
throat.
Presto! From mistake to steak
I
in no time at all.
Mushrooms contain about 90%
water.
WOMAN'S KISS RESULTS
IN OVERTURNED CAR
PURCELL. Okla., (A*)—A kiss
from Mrs. Carl H. Hamby packs
h wallop that can wreck a car.
It did, in fact, yesterday.
Highway Patrolman Earl Glenn
reported Mrs. Hamby and her 50
year-old husband left on their
vacation and had traveled four
miles when she leaned over and
bussed her husband.
The car veered out of control,
collided with another auto and
then overturned. All persons in
volved suffered only minor in
juries.
