share. Geological experts at the
University of Nebraska here are at
tempting to find what forms of earth
Nebraska rests on.
Like the small boys who would
find a short cut to China by digging
through the earth, the geologists are
boring deep holes into the soil, and
preserving the borings.
Out near Nehawka may be found
a six-inch hole in the ground. This
hole, that the layman would pass by
as a posthole, would hide the secrets
of the earth from the most curious
eyes behind the most powerful
searchlight, so deep is it. But the
geologists have defeated Its darkness
with their cylindric al drill and their J Omaha,
tube behind the drill that brings up
columns, six inches In diameter, of
dirt, rock, and other formation.
The boring from the "anti-cline."
as the geologists call it, are now be
ing subjected to close analysis by
experts of the soil conservation and ;
survey division. From the two thou- i
sand feet of six-inch boring it is
hoped to reconstruct the geological (
history of Nebraska.
Working under George E. Condra. I
director of the division. Dr. Eul a I), j
McEwan first bnaks up the columns I
of rock and then makes slides for :

Some of them indicate that Ne
braska, real deep down, is about 20
million years old, although on the
surface she seems but a "sub-deb,"
Dr. McEwan said. Authorities differ.
however, on the geological meaning
of the indications found, she aid.
Paieontological remains imbedded
in the shales and rocks of the test

braska has been invaded by the sea.
according to the geologist. Some
times this invasion came from the
cold waters of the north, carrying
forms of arctic plant and animal
life, and some times the warmer
southern waters brought and depos
ited coral an warm water organ
isms. Each advance and recession
of this inland-going sea left definite
marks tracing the edges of the rock.

From Wednesday's Dally
The general committee composed
of the various organizations that are
i ntt tested id he project of a swim
ming pool for this ciiy this season,
met this morning to discuss fully Un
completed plans and to arrange I
give the resident.' of the city the full
est opportunity of gettii-.r; in on the
boosting of this feature of summer
entertainment. The committee a as
without a great deal of work secur-
d a number of large subscriptions
foi the stock oi the proposed com
pany but fer; that a more general
canvass should oe made so that lli
pool will have a community inti
est.
In order that a great many wbo
desire to take .slock may do so, the
value of the sto i has been placed a
$25 per share. Thi slock is to b
used in the construction and man
agement of the pool and the receipts
are lirst to be used in paying off the
stock holders as the funds accumu
late and the pool when paid for it
to be made a community enterprise.
Tile city government has felt that
it would be unwise to defray the ex
pense of the pool by a band issue and
for this reason those who have the
proposition in charge have taken up
the formation of a stock company.
The plans for the big pool which
have been prepared by the state
university enginers calls for a pool
2.''0x65 feet in size, three-quarters
of which is to be of a shallow depth
running afrom the lowest to a depth
of five feet nine inches and at one
end of the pool will be a depth of
ten to twelve feet and where the
spring boards will be placed for the
use of the more experienced swim
mers. Around the pool there will be a
four foot concrete walk and a guard
where the water splashed fro mthe
pool can be drained off. There will
be every effort to keep the water ir.
the best of shape and the pool will
b cleand and freshened several times
a week and the water purified be
fore being used so that it will be
the best and most healthful that it
is possible to find.
The committee will put the swim
ming pocd proposition directly up to
the residents of this community for
their action and from their decision
will depend wwhether or not there is
a pool here but the committee can
feel that they have done their best
in the work they have so far carried
out in the preliminary plans for the
pool.
