They went, they saw, they excavated, A ml tho result was another ex hiliit for Nebraska's nationally known Harbour-shop, our own little term for Morrill Hall which has Or. Krwin Hinckley Harbour as master of ceremonies. It seems stop me if you've heard this one that the summer field force under the excavating genius of Prof. Earl H. Bell dis covered a camel In western Ne braska. Now, ordinarily that would not be such a much since even a one-ring circus carries a camel and summer field forces could dig their way thru a mass of seething humanity and see a camel in a town in western Ne braska. This particular camel, however, was dead. Bonlly so, even. But it was not just a stray circus camel that had met with foul play or had grown tired of it all and committed suicide by breathing In its own face. (Have you ever Smelt a camel's breath?) No, it was a prehistoric camel and Prof. Bell attached packing matter and great significance to its bones. Just how that particular camel got where it did is of great significance in the fields of paleontology, archeology, ethno logywell, let's make it all the sciences. To make a short col umn shorter, this camel's grave was sacreligciously robbed of its contents and transported to Mor rill Hall. A Bony-fide Tale. And, just as Is done in bona fide barber shops where attendants scrape whiskers off of old gent's faces, the university's bony-fide Ha i Iwmr-shop is now employing workers to scraiie the old fossils. Nebraska's museum has an International reputation for Its fine collections ami it would be far from our purpose to say other wise, what we want to do is help fill the museum with priceless relics of former animal life and rare and strange biological speci mens not seldom found in captivity or plaster replicas. And we know where to get them. Strange animals have been in this very city and have been overlooked by the A. E. F.
