uried theWronqW Woman

how Aunt Lizzie could be al
ready buried in a town some
miles away, and this is the
explanation they got:
Mrs. Hadfield had been
taken TO the Hazel Grove
mortuary. That same day
the body of a Mrs. Elizabeth
b alley, of Bramhall, was
brought in. The old women
looked alike. Somehow the
tags on their slabs got mixed.
When the undertaken from
Bramhall called for the body
of Mrs. Bailey, he took Mrs.
Hadfield by mistake and, be-
cause Mrs, Bailey had re-
quested that no one open her
coffin after her demise, the
error was not discovered un-
til the Windlehurst mortician
called at the mortuary for
Mrs. Hadfield'S remains.
He had known Aunt Lizzie
for years and was amazed, to
say the least, when he found
a stranger in her place. 1t was
a week before the Govern
ment got around TO issuing
the order that brought Mrs.
Hadfield back home to rest.
Detroit evening times., 1945-09-02

THE relatives and friends
of Aunt" Lizzie Had
y field were gathered at
her modest little cottage in
Windlehurst. England. They
were talking In hushed voices
because they were wait
ing for the undertaken to
bring her body from the NOR
tuary. The funeral was TO
be held that afternoon.
Someone was saying that
il was a blessing that the old
lady dropped dead of a heart
attack instead of going TO her
reward after a long and lin
gering illness when the un-
dertaker drove up in his car.
Before anyone could in
quire why he hadn't brought
the deceased, he held up a
gloved hand. II hope you'll
all bear with me-" he said,
but there'l be no funeral to-
day. Mrs. Hadfield was buried
yesterday, in the town of
Bramhall. 1t will take a gov
ernment order, and a day or
two to straighten things out"
The shocked and mystified
mourners demanded to know
Detroit evening times., 1945-09-02

Two American officers disputed
heatedly in the Allied Military
v Government headquarters in
Leipsic one morning last spring, a
few days after the Nai defenders
had been driven out of that war
wasted German city.
We've driven halfway across
Germany for this-the lieutenant out
in the car and myself" a stocky
American major told the AMG com.
mandant. Just let us drive to Sc
Steinstrasse, then we'n clear right
out. Can't you forget your red tape
just once?"
No" said the commandant. "We
don't break rules for anybody. You'll
leave town Immediately"
Before he could finish, the door
opened and an excited couple entered
"a pretty blonde of about 20 and
the lieutenant.
'Vater" the girl cried - and flung
herself into the majors arms.
Il drove to SO Steinstrasse while
the major was visiting here" the
lieutenant said happily. Found her
on the stoop of the only house left
in the block"
This wasn't a flagrant instance
of fraternizing with NaZi ffaulein.
Instead, the fascinated Commandant
was witnessing one of the most
amazing reunions of the war - the
end OF the long quest of Major Ar
mold Wilson Samuels of Columbus, o.,
for the American-born daughter he
had not seen for II years.
Elaine Marilyn Samuels was three
when her mother whom the major
married while serving in the first
Army of Occupation took the little
girl back to Germany to visit Elaines
grandparents in Trier.
Mrs. SamuelS left Elaine there.
Since the grandparents, Judge and
Frau Schroeder, were able TO give
her a good upbringing, and since
his marriage was heading for a di-
vorce, the childs father acquiesced
But when America entered World
War II, Samuels foresaw an invasion
of Germany and he decided to go
along and rescue Elaine Marilyn.
The odds were 1000 to l against
him, he realized. If the Army ac-
cepted him, would it send him over
seas? And if so, to Europe instead

Army" said the Major.
His happiness was increased when

from Nazi influences, always insist.
ing that she was an American.
There's only one flaw in this
otherwise happy ending. Elaine Mari
lyn is in Belgium, awaiting transpor-
tation back to the States. But Major
Samuels may be sent TO the Pacific
It's a bit OF an anti-climax, but
sooner or later they hope for a more
lasting reunion in the u. S. A.

ABar for Rats

nRITISHERS who find comfort in
what the poets sometimes call
- the flowing bowl" may think,
with envy, about the happy fate OF
dozens of rats in the experimental
laboratory of the Burden Ncurologi
cal Institute in Bristol.
These rodents, in a manner OF
speaking, will line up at a well-Stocked
private bar where the drinks are FIRE.
quent and all on the house A sup
ply Of whisky. rum and brandy has
been provided for their consumption.
The scientists have a serious and
important reason for operating a bar
for rats-to study the cause, and seek
cure, for chronic alcoholism in
humans. They have the backing of
the British brewers.
The rats will be kept in various
stages of drunkenness so that their
blood pressure, pulse rate and physi.
cal reactions can be carefully checked
A few human guinea pigs" will
be used in the series of experiments,
too. They will be served the best
of distilled spirits and their reactions
will be recorded. The scientists are
particularly interested in checking
lle tlltCN Vi dlCOllOl OIl llle Hle1ldl'
tiles OF their human subjects.
Among other instruments they are
using a device which they call the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, which is an
elaborate and complicated version of
the lie detector.
When the directors OF the No
logical Institute were interviewd
British newspapermena about theifdfi
dertaking, one of them said, For
Heavens sake, please make it clear
that we don't need any volunteers for
our work, or every train coming into
Bristol will be jammed with people
ready TO sacrifice themselves for sci
ence. We found more local talent
than we needed"

At the Catholic University last
night the University Mems Glee
Club, the University Choir and the
Women's Glee Club of the school
of nursing education combined In
presenting the spring concert in
the gymnasium on the campus. As
sisting the choral singers were
Helen Corbin Heinl, pianist, who
was heard in two groups of solos.
The impression Mrs. Heinl made
was profound, her. sense of style
and control Of nuance shaping
phrases with fine effect. A sensi-
tive and deep-thinking musician,
she invested the Largo" from Mac
Dowell's Sonata Tragica" with
sentiment of noble variety, express
ed in the broadness of line and sub
tlety of detail. The beauty of her
tone and the limpid fleetness of
her technique were employed with
grace and imaginative design in
the Schumann-Liszt "Widmung" and
Chopin's Waltz in A Flat, Op. a."
and with descriptive power in Grif-
fes' "The Fountain of Acqua Paola"
and Debussy's "Jardin sous la Pluie."
An ovation followed her playing
of the latter and she responded
with an encore.
DR.. Leo A. Behrendt, who directed
the three clubs In a group OF num-
bers each, achieved a striking
amount of color in the manner in
which he stressed the harmonic
