Upright Stumps Are Mark of Unusual Stone Forest BUFFALO, --Petrified 'orests are not uncommon, but t's unusual to firfd one where ossified trunks of the trees still stand upright. Large numbers of standing petrified tree stumps, some of 12 to 15 fdet in diameter and 12 feet high, have been found on several high ridges 10 miles east of Buffalo. Prof.

James D. Bump, director of the South Dakota School of Mines Museum, as well as other experts who have studied the area, identified the trees as hav- ng been of the Sequoia family, similar to the Redwoods in northern California. The stony stumps are believed to be years old. One has been a landmark for years. Early day cowboys used it as a hitching post without realizing they were making use of a petrified tree trunk 12 feet high and five feet in diameter.

The tree was located near an old roundup corral. Standing on a high knoll, it has been gradually uncovered by erosicn. Millions of tons of petrified wood, in addition to ihe stand- ng stumps, are to be found in he forsts which is a little more 100 miles 'west of Wyonv PETRIFIED tree still stands. ing's Famous Devil Tower National monument.

Pipe Smoking Marathons Are Replacing Goldfish NEW BRUNSWICK, N. -(NEA)--A new craze in a haze is sweeping U. S. colleges. A few years ago swallowing goldfish was the height of campus daring.

No one, however, accused the goldfish breeders of starting it to increase sales. The new madness is an endurance contest to see who can keep a pipe going longest without relighting it. Behind it is Robert L. Marxman, a pipe expert who is frankly interested in selling more pipes. The commercial foundation of the fad doesn't seem to bother the college boys.

They are appropriating it as their own. In smoke-filled fraternity houses they puff on their pipes to keep the dying embers going a few minutes longer for fraternity and fame. Contest rules are simple. Each contestant gets a carefully weighed-out bit of tobacco, usually one-sixteenth of an ounce, and a single match. After that he's on his own.

Record holder, at last reports, was Frank Sullebarger, a sophomore at Rutgers university here. Sullebarger kept his pipe burn ing through 64 long minutes. Runner-up is Edward R. Dayton, a New York university senior with 49 minutes and 41 seconds. The Rutgers pipe smoking derby drew a gallery of 250 cheering spectators, some of whom never saw the end of the contest.

The smoke got too thick. At the NYU meet, a bevy of coeds showed up but didn't enter. Alfred Lurie, editor of the student daily, puffed in second. The contest, he wrote later, brought back "to University Heights a spark of Norway Bishop to Address Iowa Group DES MOINES, Jf--About 400 Iowa ministers are expected to attend the second annual ministers' convocation in Des Moines, Fell. 3-5.

Marine Replacement to Go to Mediterranean NORFOLK, JP--Approximately 1,000 United States marines will be sent shortly to the Medit- xranean, fifth naval district leadquartera announced Friday-The marines, the announcement said, are "replacements" and "will not augment the total number of marines now in the Mediterranean area." Shirley Temple a Mother SANTA MONICA, Temple, who not so long ago was a famous movie child star, became a mother Friday. While husband John Agar paced waiting room, Shirley gave birth to a daughter- Dr.

William C. Bradbury said both were doing nicely. The child, to be named Linda Susan, weighted sievcn pounds, six ounces. Shirley herself was born in the same Santa Monica hospital, April 23, 1929.
