'Mammoth' beast
to join elephants
in NU museum
Another gigantic prehistoric
elephant will soon be added to the
already famous collection in ele
phant hall in the museum. The
new mount, a mammoth 11 feet
tall at the shoulders, is an excep
tionally large one. It is at present
being prepared for mounting in
the museum work room.
An interesting sidelight in re
lation to the preparing of these
huge specimens is the fact that
steel supports are used to rein
force the individual bones, as well
as form a superstructure upon
which to suspend the skeleton as
it is exhibited to the public in its
completed form.
An early mastodon, a specie of
prehistoric animal, has been re
cently remounted In permanent
form and placed on display in ele
phant hall. This specimen is but
eight feet tall at the shoulders but
is much longer in its body than
the mammoth.

States in an address to a joint
meeting of Phi Chi Theta and
Delta Sigma Pi. bizad professional
fraternities, Wednesday evening at
the Student Union.
"Before you invest, investigate"
is the motto of the bureau, and
Mrs. Erickson cited numerous
cases which prove the worth of
this slogan. The Better Business
bureau is an organization sup
ported by local business firms

the picture. An ulterior motive of
the bureau is to protect consum
ers from fallacious and misleading
advertising.
The bureau attempts to stop
misrepresentations in advertising
by suggestions to the advertiser
and to the media circulating it.
If the objectionable practices do
not cease the bureau makes pub
lic the names of the violators, and
as a final weapon the BBB may
take the offenders to court for
violation of the state law on adver
tising. Mrs. Erickson warned
against any propositions that ap

The federation proposed by di

rather as a clearing house for pro

action on problems confronting
the Nebraska dairy industry.
