Figures in Sculpticolor of 'The Doctor
Often Mistaken for Professional Actors
"Those figures are real. I saw them move."
This is a remark that is commonly heard by the attendants
at "The Doctor" exhibit, now on display in the Gold and Coni
.... ;;nm rinwntnwn. Sn life-like are the figures that in
terpret the famous painting by

often misiaicen ior pruieoaiouttiy
actors.
In reality "The Doctor" is a new
art form known as "sculpticolor,"
a third dimensional rendering of a
painting. Aa conceived by John
Paulding, prominent Chicago
sculptor, sculpticolor Involves the
treatment of sculptured figures by
the artist in the same manner in
which he would work on a flat
canvas. Natural color is applied
and even the shadows are painted
on the walls and floor of the stage
setting. In this instance John
Paulding did the sculptoring, while
Rudolph Ingerle, famous artist
from the Chicago Art Institute, ap
plied the color.
Accompanying the sculpticolor is
a flat canvas reproduction of the
original painting, valued at $3,000.
It is one of the few accurate color
interpretations of the original in
this country and is included with
Mysteries of Mayan Civilization Are
Being Probed by California Scientists
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19. (CNS).
Hitherto unsolved mysteries of
the ancient Mayan civilization
were being probed this week by
scientist at the University of
Southern California.
Field notes and a huge quantity
of photograhpic material, gathered
by an expedition Into the Jungles
of Guatamala, were being worked
up at the Trojan university under
direction of Dr. Edgar L. Hewett,
head of the School of American
Research, who led the 2,000 mile
expedition.
Chief enigmas of the Mayas, ac
cording to Dr. Hewett, are where
the once powerful race disap
peared, leaving only a few scat
tered descendants. The study is
attempting to determine what
caused the decay of the race that
built great stone temples and
what is the key to their picture
writings.
Of all the hieroglyphics s far
studied, only those relating to the
Mayan number system have been
deciphered, it is reported.
Annls Starts New Angle.
A new angle of the study was
started on the expedition by Prof.
Verle L. Annis of the U. S. C ar
chitecture department "We fouDd
tall obelisks of carved stone,
weighing many tons and too heavy
for even modern machinery to
move," said Prof. Annis.
"With no quarries that we
rould discover within many miles,
the Mayas set up these monu
ments, leaving us to puzzle our
heads over the question of how
they obtained the stone and
moved it."

moved back into place. One person was

"The Doctor" was introduced to

"That a volcanic eruption drove

"There can be no longer any

mammals, bison, mammoth, and
many others in Nebraska during
at least the latter part of the
Great Ice Age," said Dr. Lugn.
"The most convincing evidence of
ice age man in Nebraska so far

"Yuma and Folsom dart points

says Dr. Lugn. "They were found

More Employment

States Ferguson
After considering the large
number of letters received from
alumni of the engineering college
relating their occupational activi
ties, Dean O. J. Ferguson stated
that he is now led to believe that
there is less unemployment among
engineers than he had formerly
presumed.
Dean Ferguson said that during
the past several weeks he has re
ceived many letters from grad
uates of the college which indi
cated that the employment situa
tion was much better than he had
considered it to be.
Dean Ferguson pointed out that
he will feature unemployment
among engineers in his next article
in the Blue Print, engineering pub

eral scores of artifacts ancient
weapons have been collected from
this soil rone at about a aozen ou
ferent locations quite widely dis
tributed in several counties of
western Nebraska. The best thing
about these new discoveries seems
to be that the old soil zone can
actually be traced Into the gla
ciated area of eastern Nebraska
and definitely dated with respect
to the till or ice deposits.
Scientists have previously feared
that dates were in error which had
been placed on the specimens and
soil layers found at different
depths. They did not accept esti
mated ages when man might have
appeared because they had found
no means of accurately telling the
age of their finds.
Professor Dates Terraces.
For the past seven years Dr.
Lugn has been working on criteria
for dating the terraces in the
North Platte river valley. He
bases his new and "satisfactory"
ages on "physiographic, sedimen
tation, and paleontological data"
which he has compiled in the
seven years.
"The North Platte river valley
has been a difficult area to inter
pret," Dr. Lugn explains, "and it
has yielded conclusive evidence of
the Ice Age antiquity of its ter
races only after long and patient
research extending over a long
period of time. The area is im
