FIND MONEY HOARD LONG AGO
Demolished Outbuilding: Discloses
Bills Rotted for Many Years
There was a fear of banks, and
people lost their money by keeping
it out of sound banks in the last decade
as well as now. That is the
beginning of the story told in The
Bamberg Herald of how the alleged
depression, came to a sudden end as
far as Marie Ulmer, of Denmark, is
concerned when she recently found
a purse of money that had been hidden
for many years.
According to Marie, back in 1925
her Husband. Israel Ulmer, alarmed
over the many bank failures in the
state, withdrew his money from a
local bank, deposited it in 'a tin can
ahd hid it in the ground. ' ^
Still feeling that his money was unsafe,
he decided to change the hiding
place and hid it in an outbuilding on
the premises probably intending to
tell Marie where it was hidden, but
about that time he became ill and
died without revealing to her the hiding
place.
In .September, 1938, that community
was visited by a severe windstorm
which uprooted a tree on the Ulmer
premises, the tree falling- on the outbuilding
and partly demolishing it. A
short time afterwards Marie began
tearing down the house by degrees
for fuel.
A few weeks ago she ripped off
another board and an old pocketbook
fell out. She immediately recognized
the pocketbook as the one in which
the nnfhey was hidden. Upon opening
it she found the money but the
long exposure^httd caused the bills to
disintegrate%and they crumbled in her
hands.
She was advised to send these pieces
to the United States treasury department
in Washington to be identified
and redeemed.

'MAN WHO WON WAR'
IS GIVEN $25,000
British Officer's Service to
Empire Receives Be- ?
lated Recognition.
London.?The fact that truth Is
stranger than Action has boon homo
out once more by the granting of belated
recognition to a humble police
sergeant In Neath. Wales, as "tho man
who won the World war."
Rollings, In the summer of 1018.
discovered In an abandoned German
dugout, detailed plans of the Hlndenburg
line, which enabled the allied
forces to launch their final smashing
offensive, and to shatter the resistance
of tho enemy.'
But for Boilings' alertness the war
might have tasted months or years
longer, with the loss of thousands of
additional lives, and the possible financial
collapse of many of the nations I
Involved.
Belated recognition of the British
officer's service to the empire and to
the world has now been made In tho
form of a grant to him of $25,00(V- j
made, not by the British government,
but by a private cltlsen. Lady Houston,
widow of Sir Robert Houston, British
shipping magnate.
Story of His Fsat.
In f0l8 Lieut. B. .t. Rollings was a
twenty-eight-year-old subaltern In tho
British Tank corps. Ills story of his
feat is as follows:
"The Seventeenth (armored enr)
battalion, In which I was a lieutenant,
was n movable unit, and on August 7.
1018, we received sudden order to attach
ourselves to the Australian corps
at Villers-Bretonneux corps. Our
Instructions were to wait behind
the line until tho Australians had
ninde^ a break In It. and then race
through, search for all German headquarters,
raid them for documents,
and shoot every German at sight. ,
"I received personal orders to concentrate
on n German headquarters
at Frnmerville, nine miles In advance
of our front line. Before dawn next
morning we were all at our posts,
waiting. I was in charge of two armored
cars.
"Dawn?the Australians went over
like men possessed, and 15 minutes
later we received the signal?they were
through.
Raced Seven Miles.
"Off we went, leaving the Aussles
in the German front line. The tanks
towved us two and a half miles. Here
we found the road free from Rhell
holes and left them behind. Framervllle
was about'seven miles away. In
the dkftance we could see the German
rear guard?fighting desperately.
"I knew that If the break In the,
line was filled it would be the end of
us, but decided to make a bid for It.
and we raced along the Amlens-St.
Quentln road. We had to fight our
way through the retreating Germans,
but they were completely disorganized,
and we killed them in scores. My
chief worry was our own shells, which
were dropping dangerously near.
"By noon we had fought our way
to Framervllle. with the German rear
guard behind us. German corps headquarters
were in an old farm house.
I mounted the steps slowly, revolver In
hand; but the German staff had fled
Just n few minutes before and had not
even stopped to burn their papers.
Seized All Papers.
"Some of the documents were torn
up. but I packed every scrap Into
sandbags. I could not read German
and In any case I hadn't time to try to
piece them together*.
"For three hours we mopped up villages
within a radius of 12 miles.
When, I got back I handed over the
sandbags to my company commander,
MaJ. W. B. Boifcher, M. C. They were
sent to general headquarters for examination,
and after that 1 heard nothing
more of them, except that I had
been awarded a bar to my M. C. A
few days later, on AuguAt 28, I was
wounded In the head and my active
war service came to an end. I never
knew the part those papers played in
ending the war until now."
Young Man's Search for
Gold in Backyard Wins
Dennlsport, Muss.?Last September
-Pranklyn Berry, sixteen, high school
student, beggn digging In his backyard
for "a pot of gold."
Elmer Lewis had told Berry that Ills
(Elmer's) father. Thatcher Lewis, now
dead, had buried gold in the yard because
he distrusted hanks.
NeighborsJaughy.U. but Berry devote
ed all his spare time to excavating
for the supposed treasure trove, sometimes
digging by moonlight.
Recently the boy unearthed a glass
Jar containing $20 gold pieces representing
$500. A dated band of paper
In the Jar showed It had been burled
18 years nnd one day.
Floral Cards Cause of
Mixup at New Orleans
New Orleans.?Upon the occasion of
the opening of a new store here. W. B.
Alexander, president of a chain store
company, received tons of floral offerings.
Among the expressions was a
bunch of flowers to which was attached
a card reading: "May you rest
In peace." Alexander was puzzled and
called up the florist. "Oh. that Is terrible,"
came the answer. "T have
mixed your card with some one else's."
An Investigation showed h bouquet
went to a funeral with a card reading:
"Congratulation* and best wisi.es In
your new undertaking."
I HOW MUCH ftMW YOU NKKl>?|
Some Misapprehension*! of People
Corrected l?v Modern Investigation '
_ I
That it is not true that you need
less sleep a# you grow older; that
you can go without food longer than
without sleep; that if you arc <35 and
live to 70 you will sleep 15 years, are
a few of the secrets revealed by the
Sleep Laboratory of Colgate University.
How the sleep of even Walter
Winehell was analysed in the psychological
records, is explained by Dr.
Donald A. Laird, diroctor of the laboratory,
in MeCulls for March:
"Many persons who think they can
get in five hours all that sleep has
to give them are actually slowly
starving. Thomas A, ICdison, reputed
to have gone along so>mnny effective
years with a sleep average of only
four hours, really spent much time
sleeping?as one of his colleagues expressed
it?Mike a dormouse.' t at
naps, even though taken out of bed,
are sleep. And it is wholly possiblo
that the great inventor's ability to do
without normal hours of regular sleep
was due to a fine faculty for catching
a froquont forty-winks.
"During most pf our lives three-;
quarters of us need a special tech-;
nique to coax Morpheus to our pillows.
Of the many ways to get sleep,
reading leads all th? rest. Relaxing
comes second. By and large, however,
it is every man and woman for
himsfclf in finding the quickest way
to get sleep with a large number of
interesting andCnusual personal idiosyncrasies
bobbing up for inducing
sleep. A Supreme Court Justice
buries his face in his pillow, and the
editor of a national magazine sticks
his feet out from under the bedclothes.
A philanthropist reviews
Blackstpne's analysis of real estate
law. A rabbi counts the beats of a
clock pendulum and by the time he
has counted 300 he is usually asleep.
A college professor eats onions, a
journalist calculates the number of
days his furnace has been running
and how many days it still has to
run.
"Animal life dies quicker from lack
of sleep than from lack of food. Ten
nursing puppies were dead within a
week when kept from sleep^ The
same animals could go without food
for nearly a month without these
fatal effects.
"There can be too much relaxing
and sleeping, however; and the adult
who seems to need ten hours and
more sleep nightly should give himself
or his bed a thorough examination.
"A lumberjack or a manual worker
who wants merely to recover physical
co-ordination, may find four
hours are enough. But there is more
to sleep than the recovery of simple
physical abilities. Both our tests and
the experiences of prominent people
of all ages bear this out, for 25 years
the average person sleeps seven hours
and twonty-five minutes. This average
he increases until at 45 he stays
in beel seven hours and fifty minutes.
Then, for the next 20 years, he gets
a few minutes less sleep every night.
But at 65 he finds the need for more
until at 85 he takes more time in bed
than ever before in his adult life.?
eight hours and ten minutes."
As evidence of the hoarded money
coming into circulation from hiding
places a Knoxville bank on Friday received
23 $100 bills of the large size
in the day's business.
Three bandits started out in New
York Saturday to "get some big
money and kill a cop or two." They
entered a restaurant and while there
a cop entered. One bandit was killed
and the other two made their escape.
More than 250 employes of the
Statesville Furniture company,
Statesville, N. went on a strike
when the fourth cut of a year was announced
by the management. The
new cut made a wage reduction of
60 per cent, from what they were
a year ago.
The Illinois supreme coyrt has confirmed
the conviction of I>eo V. Brothers,
convicted in Chicago several
months ago on a charge of having
murdered Alfred Lingle, Chicago Tribune
reporter. Brothers must serve
14 years in prison.
VERY NERVOUS
AND DEPRESSED
"A few years ago. I was In a
very nervous condition," writes
Mrs. P. L. Reynolds, 327 W. Main
St., 8partanburg, 8. C. "I was
terribly depressed. I felt every
day Just like something awful was
going to happen. I did npt sleep
well at night. I had awful crying
spells and did not know what in the
world I was crying about My mother
told me to try Cardui. After my first .
bottle. I was better. I look several
. bottles and It did me a world of
good. I quit having the nervous,
blue feeling, and was soon all right. I
