WOMAN PAINTS FLAGPOLES TO SUPPORT SELF

It's Harder to Apply Rouge, Mrs. Ethel Hawkins, 31, Believes. Flagpole painting; can be learned at your boudoir mirror, but it’s a lot harder to get the right shade on a check's dimple than on a 60foot staff atop a tall building. This is the belief of Mrs. Ethel Hawkins, 31, of 32>4 N. Senate-av, steeplejack and flagpole tinter, expressed as she contemplated her last week's work on a pole on the Board of Trade Building and the Old Glory stanchion in Christ Church yard on the Circle. Asked if she sang at her work, she said, "What do you think I am, a canary?’’ Mrs. Hawkins mixes flagpole painting with crocheting and admits she is as expert with a needle as she is "shinnying up" flagpoles. When tossing paint around, she has no more "nerves’' than a sedative tablet. "What’s there to be nervous about? Sure, I look down and watch the people looking up at me,” she says. "Why not?’’ Her highest climb was up the 125-foot flagpole on top the Southwestern Bell Telephone Building at St. Louis. Once she goes up to paint, she does not come down until the job is finished. “It takes about an hour to paint one good flagpole,” she said as she explained the use of leather belts and stirrups which enable her to hang to the flagpole in midair. David DavLs, 65, who claims to be the fastest flagpole decorator in the nation, says she is as fast, if not faster, than the average male steeplejack. Death of her husband, who worked for Mr. Davis, sent Mrs. Hawkins aloft for her livelihood. Red-haired, quick-tongued, she scoffs at the "puny” flagpoles in Indianapolis as she mentions the numerous New York “jobs” she has done. She dotes on smokestacks. Two or three before dinner are just about as hard for her to put away as a “stack of wheat cakes.” And when nightfall comes, after a day of muscular strain, swinging high in the air, she can. she admits, still out-dance any gigolo or debutante.

HUGHES TO QUIT PLANE RECORD TRIPS, HE SAYS Wealthy Sportsman to Spend Time on Business.

ASH CAN DROP’KICKER IS THROWN FOR LOSS Eleven 'Goals,’ sll, is Verdict of Court ‘Referee.’ George Wertz’s ideas of fun cost him sll today.

HOPE DIM FOR EARLY CLOSE OF CONGRESS Senate Leaders See Session Lasting Through G. O. P. Convention. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 24.—Senate leaders expressed doubt today that Congress could adjourn before the Republican national convention at Cleveland, June 9. Hopes faded with a prediction that the controversial tax and relief programs would require many weeks for completion. Democratic chieftains said the $1,500,000 relief measure might be considered by the Senate before the tax bill. The latter program, they said, is so perplexing that it will be some time before it can be whipped into shape.
