Money Saved
Home Mechanic
DALLAS. Ten, Aug. 30—<U.P'—
What mi) be a thing of the future
waa recently demonstrated by a
young woman in Dallas.
It's women fixing their own cars.
Husky, six-foot- Tiny Drews
wheeled her car into a "fix-lt-ur-
self" garage recently. The advising
mechanic told her the 1941 model
auto needed a new front end.
Undaunted, after six hours of
work. Miss Drews emerged from
under the renovated car with a
few words of advice about women
mechanics. ,
The ex-WAC’ satd “anyone with
the slightest adea of mechanics
should be able to tlx her own car,
particularly if" there’s someone
around to give advice when you
run into trouble."
The 190-pound girl was deter-
mined that she’d fix her own car
which she had bought for 35 dol-
lars. 8he felt that when a person
gets •something , for practically
nothing’’ she "ought to try and
get something out of it." That'!
exactly what Miss Drews did.
Saves 939
Enlisting the aid of a friend
petite Mary Taylor, blond Miss
Drews went to work on her vehicle
The garage furbished the neces-
sary items such as sand tools,
hydraulic Jack, creepers (to swing
under the car with ease), and
spring pullers. Miss Drews had al-
ready purchased "the parts to re-
place those which were worn out
A regular garage had Informed
Miss Drews that the work on- her
auto would probably cost more
than *50. However, by buying her
own parts, renting a stall and
equipment at the.garage and fur-
nishing her own'-labor, the thrifty
ex-WAC did the Job for *20.
The Job consisted in part of
pulling the front wheels off and
putting in new spindleplns and
bushings.
After six hours beneath the
auto. Miss Drews was still smiling,
although she admitted she was
glad the Job was. done. She told
the garageman that she had bet-
ter hurry home to change her
grease-smeared clothes, as her boy
friend was coming over.
Male Unchallenged
When asked if. ahe thought she’d
started a trend in women me-
chanics, Miss Drews laughingly
said, "Women will never leave the
lipstick and powder off.” She said
she believed the ratio of “one
thousand male mechanics to one
female will remain unchanged.”
Miss Drews’ partner. Miss Tay-
lor, wasn't quit#- as enthused over
the mechanical work. In fact, she
said she was "sort of duped” into
the Job. Miss Taylor said “Tiny'’
had asked her If she’d like to do
something exciting to which she
naturally answered "yes,” after
which she was taken to the ga-
rage.
Miss Drews Is employed as an
electrical draftswoman for the
Texas Power and Light company.
She served overseas with the
WACs during World war II.
After the two girls had finished
the six-hour Job, the advising
mechanic remarked that they had
sought less advice from him than
many male customers.

Idaho's Hills Still
Lure Prospectors
MOSCOW. Idaho, Aug. 30—<U.»
—The famed Idaho hills of gold
rush days still hold interest for
part-time prospectors, according to
A. W. Fahrenwald. dean of the
University of Idaho’s College of
Mures and director of the Bureau
of Mines and Geology.
•■We have received between 700
and *00 mineral samples every year
since the depression,’’ Fahrenwald
reported “Although the number re-
mains about the same, the kinds of
samples and the questions asked
about them vary from year to year
In the depression men hunted
gold until they could find Jobs.
Strategic metals were the goal of
the mineral-hunters during World
war II. Today the *10.000 bonus
offered by the Atomic Energy Com-
mission for uranium discoveries
lures prospectors. Gold and silver
are virtually forgotten.
Newly discovered deposits of ky-
anlte. a high-grade silicate used
In the manufacture of porcelain for

Leukemia Victims
May Live Years
CHICAGO. Aug. 20 —<U.R>— Two I
research workers say there is room
tor more optimism about the life
expectancy of chronic leukemia |
victims.
Dr. Arthur A. Marlow and Grant
R. Barlett of La Jolla. Calif, point
to a patient who lived for 29 years
with the disease as an example.
Studies of large groups of I
chronic leukemia patients show
the average length of survival is |
three and one-half years.
But the researchers wrote In I
the Journal of the American Medl- ]
cal Association that the statistics
do not mean any particular pa-
tient Is doomed.
“It Is felt that an optimistic
viewpoint Is dfesirable in chronic ]
leukemia, as- the life expectancy of
certain patients far exceeds that
reported to be the aieiage in large
series of patients.” they said.
"Many individual patients can I
often be kept in happy, productive
states for long periods of time by
careful management.”

Early-Day Explorers
Left Evidence Behind
PIERRE, S. D„ Aug. 20 —(U.RV— |
Archeological excavations have pro-
duced evidence that the white man
may have been In the upper Miss-
ouri River basin as early as 1700.
Dr. Wesley R. Hurt of the Uni-
versity of South Dakota said exca-
vations of old Indian settlements |
near Pierre have uncovered arti-
facts which indicate French trad-
ers may have been in the region
between 1700 and 1723.
The earliest documented record
of white men being in the region
is a lead plate found on a Missouri |
River bluff at Fort Pierre, 8. D.
It was placed there March 30, |
1743, by tM Verendrye brothers
and claimed the region for France.
