Hiyo Silver! Race to Old
Mine Ready to Start Anew

DODGEVILLE, MICK.-The story
of seven barrels of silver abandoned
in an old mine near here is being
told and re-told again and is ex-
pected to cause a silver rush any

Seems that a group of miners in
the middle of the last century
wanted more Pay. The mine man.
agement refused to grant them n
increase. Having just neatly capped
seven barrels of silver, the miners
climbed out of their hole to con-
tinue the argument.
Negotiations continued for months
while the sever barrels of silver lay
in the mine shaft. Finally, when
an agreement was reached the min
ers discovered that the shafting had
weakened and they refused to enter
the mine again. The silver treasure
never was ~extricated.
Conservatively, the treasure is

FrauIein Won't Wed
G. |. to Get 19 Million
Claimant TO Huge U. S. Fortune
Needs Citizenship

BERLIN - Germany's million
dollar Cinderella" had an offer of
marriage from an American to help
her collect a 19-million-dollar for
tune which she wants to give to the
sick children of Berlin.
Several G.I.s stationed here said
that marriage with "Cinderella"-
Ursula Bauer-was nothing to
sneeze at" and Pvt. George A.
Beaudoin, an MP. from Stamford,
Conn, volunteered to marry her.
But chubby, r~ed-haired Ursula
with a fortune dangling before her
-~retorted ''none of these Johnnies
for me-"
She said she is engaged to a Ham
burg engineering student and mar
rying him is more important to me
than G.I.-bride passage to a few
million dollars"
Ursula claims she inherited the
money from a distant American
cousin, Henrietta E. Garrett of
Philadelphia, 10 years ago, but war
and occupation have kept her from
getting to the United States to col
lect.
Executors of the Garrett estate
in Philadelphia reported that Ur-
sula is only one of $4,000 claimants
from 16 states and - foreign coun-
tries. Mrs. Garrett, widow of a
snuff manufacturer, died in 1880.
She les no children, the estates
value now is 25 million dollars.
us. officials here said that Ur-
sula's fortune would remain frozen
and maybe seized for PREPARATIONS
unless she could attain American
citizenship-which would take years,
if she has to sweat out the huge
immigration backlog. Marriage to
a us. citizen would solve her prob
lem in a matter of minutes.

Professor Says Beers Don't
Hibernate; They Only Sleep

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.-The mys-

university expert who claims that
bears don't hibernate in winter.
DR.. Charles P. Lyman, assistant
curator of Harvard museum Of COM
parative zoology, said he can't I'M
derstand why Maine officials are
81 b~ewildered because their bears
won't go to sleep.
"A bear could not hibernate if he
wanted to-" declared Lyman, "be-
cause it's physically impossible"
w. Earl Bradbury, Augusta, Me-,
fish and game deputy commits
sioner, said that berry-picking
bruins were expected to strut
around in the summer but not in
the winter.
Everybody up here knows that
our bears hibernate in the winter"
he said firmly. cts considered the
normal thing for a bear to do in
Maine. But this winter the woods
are filled with bears. Frankly,
we're b~ewildered. It's not natural"
Lyman insisted that it was
perfectly natural. "Woodchucks,
ground squirrels aid bats hiber-
nate, but not bears. When an ami
NAL hibernates its temperature
drops and its respiration and heart
beat slow down.
"Bears don't do that. They never
enter a state of suspended anima-
ton. Throw a rock at a 'hibernat-
ing bear and find out"

A native South American plant,

The Conquistadores are believed to

because in shape, color, acidity and
other characteristics the fruit is
similar to the orange. The general
