HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO Trnrr Hack tn n Time When Itetl 3Ieti Roamed Plains nnd Mreil r-Vlrlne of Their IMij Icnt 'Abilities. A very appropriate feature exhibit that will be-shown In-the ".Made In Nebraska" snow, in the Auditorium In March, will bp tho Glider collection of pre-hlstorlc I manufacturers of Nebraska. 3tr. Robert F. Glider has made a otudy of the very corllest days, going back oVcr 3,fl years I fiom an exhibit standpoint and covering i a research of over eight years of actual , hard work ln and around 'Omaha and eastern Nebrask. Mrf Glider has collected samples of all kinds of. Implements inade- by the dwell ers of Nebraska In "the last severoi j hundred years, lie has arranged this r display so that It Illustrated the life of ! tho Indians and dwellers ln the state 1 from an early archaeological standpoint , on down until today. Under tho head of sculpture, Mr. Glider shows a number of forra cotta human heads, stone tobacco i pipes and Jars. It knoun to historians and archaeologists as the most Important find of the last century. The features of these heads are distinctly Egyptian, and the material used Is not even native to America, as far as tho gcolpglsts have been able to discover. How these little terra cotta' heads came to bo burled In tho home of the pre-hlstorlc Americans cannot even be conjectured. The work manship Is exquisite and that of a trained hand. In the collection will also bo half a dozen or more sculptured pipes, but none are made from red pipe stone, which tho American Indians have used for the last TOO ara. Mr. Glider has never discovered a single trace of the use of tli's red pipe stono by the American In dians ln his work among the nre-hlstorlc people. The material used was a glacial clay which abounds along the Missouri river and was peculiarly well adapted for modeling. Some engravings will bo shown which although rather crude must have been very delicately used becouso they were eoarser than those now employed by the trade. Fish are. engraved on shells, birds on pots, a rising sun. something like the National Japanese emblem, on a flat tile. In the "Made In Nebraska" show dis play that Mr. Glider Is to exhibit, will be 1 an agricultural Implement showing made 1 of bones, shoulder blades, etc., from the buffalo. These nre made Into tugs, hoes and spadea. Picks mndo from antlers of the elk and paddles for a canoe from the shoulder blade to of a moose art also In the collection. The pre-hlstorlc people, according to Mr. Gilder and hli dlsplav had a number of household utensils, such I as spoons made Irom shells, which hadi 1 handles Just llko the spoons used I among our modern white peopl 1 are pots and ollas from tho I i ised today pie. Thcro stse of a I - .1 n m i thimble to big. five-gallon size, and are , decorated ln red and yellow. There are. ! rorn mills made from drift stone quarts-' , Ite. For tho prehistoric people's houae-l wife there were needles made from tho ' .aw bone of deer and from turkey boncsj ' also a collection of bone punches whleh 'ancient dwellers In Nebraska used for) ' rtrll Ing In buffalo and deer skins. Thera jwlll be hide scrapings and skinning1 nouires made from the bone and from stone and from glacial stones, used by , pre-hlstorlc people In tanneries. For war j and chase tho ancient Kebraska manu '1 J .'acturers used wood files ln polishing ( i their bows and arrows; wrenches of' antlers to straighten their arrows, etoa) and antler arrow heads, stone war clubi' and long antler heads for spears. The collection that Mr. Gilder will place In the "Made In Nebraska" show IJk one of great alue from a financial and educational standpoint, and will be placed I I In cases and boxes on tho walls In ono i of the best locations In the Auditorium, where the thousands of people who visit j It and who will be Interested ln theso 'pre-hlstorlc manufacturers, can see It Sale Begins Monday Morning in Our Basement A Sale That Will Be Remembered as Long as This Store Stands The Biggest Bargain Sensation in Years SALE OF LINEN 250,000 Yards of Slightly Damaged and Water-Soiled Linens Bought From S.
