Moses S. Finesilver, was ruled by New York Judgs William T.
Collins as common-law widow of Arthur C. Mandel, wealthy
machine company executive, and entitled to half of his estate of

Love Life Was So Complicated For
This Bewildered Young Divorcee
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK UP) The girl was dark-haired and young and
pert as a pony. There was a waggle to her body as she stepped into
the street and hailed the cab.
"Oh, oh! A good looker for a change," said the driver. He halted
and for a moment considered opening the door for her. Then he
thought, "Oh, hell, why spoil 'em when they're young? Give 'em
some attention now, and whe'n they're old and grey they'll still
think they deserve It."
So the young girl opened the
door herself, perched on the
back seat, and said:
"Welfare Island Ferry."
As the cab started off, she said:
"Say, how many thousand dol
lars are there in a million dol
lars?" ,
"Look,"" said the driver, "quit
picking on me. If I knew how
many thousands was In a million
would I be driving a hack? Why
do you want to know?"
"Cause that old lady we just
passed on the sidewalk has a mil
lion dollars. Just Inherited It. She
lives at the hotel where I work."
The cab paused at a red light,
and the driver asked:
"Watcha goin' all the way to
Welfare Island on such a hot day
for?"
"To see my daughter. She's got
a bum heart really bum. Imag
ine that! 1 And she's only four
years old."
"Tch, tch," clucked the driver.
Romancing Chaotio
She tossed her mane of mid
night hair back from her damp
forehead. She lit a cigaret syid
said moodily, "Oh, hell!"
"Watsa matter row?"
"Oh, my love life's all fussed
up."
"How, little chicken?"
"Oh, I've divorced my husband
he's a piano player. And I've
been going with a detective. But
he's such a perfectionist. He's
crazy jealous if I'm five minutes
late for a date. I also got a dance
instructor boy friend. He's more
fun, but I can't depend on him.
Sometimes he shows up for a
date two davs late."
"Uh, huh," said the driver.
"Well, If you ask me ."
at (he funeral and your first hus
band will play the piano. Then
"And then there's my bus driv
er boy friend, Jie's really the
sweetest," the girl went on. "And
there's the embalmer he makes
more money than any of 'em.
Calls me up seventeen times a
day."
Marry the embalmer," said
the taxi driver. "Follow the
dough, kid."
"But he gives me the creeps,"
she shuddered. "He Is so proud
of his work he wants me to come
down and watch him. And after
ward I can't touch his hands or
bear to let him kiss me."
"Don't he wear rubber gloves?"
"Yes, but"
Pleasant Propriesy Voiced
The driver mulled this over. As
he halted near the ferry terminal,
he said:
"Honey, I've got It all figured
out, Your detective is going to
shoot you to death some evening
while cleaning his gun. Your em
balmer will fix you up pretty.
Your dance instructor will dance
the bus driver will take every
body out to the cemetery for
nothing.
"And, sister, the whole darn
thing won't cost you a nickel.
What have you got to worry
about?"
The girl paid her fare and
laughed uneasily.
"I know you're only joking,"
she said, "but you're the second
person who has told me the de
tective will end up by shooting
me."
The cab driver watched as she
walked away. There was a de
fiant waggle to her body.
"If I wasn't married and had
three kids " he said.

WASHINGTON If a hotel
could be filled with honeymoon
ers, it would "save at least the
expense of a night watchman,"
says Col. C. C. Schiffeler, manag
er of Washington's Raleigh Ho
tel. Honeymooners are orderly,
says Col. Schaffeler, whose fam
ily for four generations has been
in the hotel business. They ap-
K roach the ideal as hotel guests,
e says.
"They are concerned that ev
erything shall be Just right. They
usually write far ahead for their
reservations and want to be sure
that there will be no slip-up.
When the guests, as well as the
management and employees, are
careful, then there will be a
minimum of mistakes and confu
sion." Col. Scheffeler tells me honey
mooners are good spenders. They
have saved their money for the
occasion, he points out, and they
often spend the works before
they leave. They are appreciative.
They are potential future cus
tomers. He says one couple who
had spent their honeymoon at
the hotel 40 years ago recently
back for another visit.
"If half of the estimated more I
than a million couples who are ;
married each year spend an av-1
eraee of 1250 in the orocess,
the annual honeymoon business
rises Into tne hundreds oi mil
lion dollars," Col. Schiffeler says.
Washington, he believes, is "one
of the foremost honeymoon cities
of the nation. He waxes roman
tic about it as a mecca for new.
lyweds.
"Among Its beautiful parks,
lovely promenades, stately mem
orials and notable museums in
the presence of so much that
is rich with meaning to every
American a honeymoon can be
at once a joy, an inspiration and
a dedication.
Can't Escape Detection
Newlyweds, despite the fond
hope they'll arrive at the hotel
looKing lust like any otner mar
ried couple, usually have a hard
time keeping their identity from
notel men, especially the bell
hops. Col. Schiffeler savs.
"They're shy. The1 little lady's
corsage, her new gown, the young
man's bright new suit, all tend
to let the cat out of the bag,
"Any married couple might
start out on a trip with some new
clothes, but when the couple Is
young and all of the clothes es
pecially the shoes are new it
doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes
to understand that the next thing
to look for is a bright new wed
ding ring on the lady's finger."
Girl Frees Dogs,
Battles Pair Of
Dogcatchers
BALTIMORE. July l.lM
Two dogcatchers testified they
stopped chasing canines and took
out after a pretty 17-year-old girl
when she loosed their day's bag.
When they caught her, the dog
catchers told Magistrate Herbert
Franklin in Police Court, she
proved a handful. One of them
said he had some well-kicked
shins.
Miss Ruth V. Stewart made no
denials. The two S. P. C. A. agents,
she said, had picked up a dog be
longing to a friend of hers. When
she opened the cage of the truck
to get her friend's dog, six others
popped out, too.
The magistrate dismissed
charges of interfering with the
dogcatchers in the "lawful per
formance of their duty," dis
orderly conduct, and assault by
kicking.
But if It happened aealn. he
warned, the result might be jail.
The SPCA agents said they
rounded up six of the seven es
capees. Whether Miss Stewart's
friend's dog was the one that got
away was not disclosed, .
No Pay Needed To Get
Contract, Truman States
WASHINGTON. Julv l.-OP)
President Truman declared
Thursday that no businessman
has to pay a go-between to get a
government contract.
The President made this asser
tion at a news conference when
he was questioned about the com
plaint of one businessman who
said he had been assessed five per
cent for getting government busi
ness. A New York Herald Tribune re
porter brought up the matter,
calling attention to stories first
published in that newspaper.
The President said he has al
ways insisted, both in the White
House and as chairman of the old
Truman Committee, that no busi
nessman has to pay anybody to
get a contract with the govern
ment. T
San Antonio Is the oldest city
In Texas, with Its first permanent
settlement established in 1718
along with the founding of the
