spades, which naturally closed the
bidding.
OF course. there was nothing to the
play of the hand. Mr.. Jacoby won
the opening lead of the king of dia-
monds with dummy's ace, cashed the
ace and king of spades, ruffed a low
heart to get to his own hand, drew
Easts last trump (they were divided
three and one), re-entered dummy
with the ace of clubs, and discarded
all his losing cards on the heart suit.
The North and South players at the
other tables were not nearly so for
tunate. North invariably opened with
two hearts and South responded with
two no trump. Now North followed
with three hearts, South bid three
spades and from here on the oidding
diverged; in most instances the fnal
contract being six hearts, which natu-
rally was down one trick.

PREHISTORIC CITY
GRAVES SOUGHT
Nebraska Scientists Dis.
cover Evidence of Farming
and Pottery Craft.

3; the Associated Press.
LYNCH, Nebr., August 15.-Uni-
versity of Nebraska scientists tonight
wondered what manner Of man lived
900 years ago In the prehistoric city
near here by q party Of
archeologists headed by DR.. Earl H.
Bell of the university.
Bell and his associates in the ex-
pedition, which has halted its digging
until next Summer, know the early
men were farmers, hunters and expert
makers of pottery and tools from bone
and rock, but they were unable to find
a burial and determine what the
ancient inhabitants of the fertile
Ponca Greek Valley looked like. The
search for q burial will be resumed
next Summer, Bell said. as he packed
thousands of artifacts taken from the
excavations.
1T Is clear that Nebraska has q
human prehistory as important in the
annals of civilization as that Of Egypt
or the Near East" DR.. Bell asserted.
40 Sites Located.
He located 40 new archaeological
sites in the Ponca Greek area, 40 miles
long by 20 miles wide. He said he
believed two of these were inhabited
1000 years ago and the others later.
DR.. Bell described the finds as evi-
dence of five ancient cultures-the era
Of folsom points. an era indicated by
the finding Of chips and fiints, the
agricultural era Of 1000 years ago. the
Ponca civilization of the seventeenth
century, and a later era indicated by
pottery deposits. In the agricultural
period, which interests the scientists
most, were found corn, beans. squash
and pumpkins.
BY laboratory work this Winter
scientists will attempt to establish the
culture sequence Of the various sites.
Thousands Of artifacts were obtained
and soil samples were taken to help
determine the ages of the sites. Some
of the specimens will be sent to DR..
Melton r. Gilmore, University OF
Michigan paleobotanist and q Ne
braska graduate. for study.
Drought's Ravages Hinted.
For nine weeks Bell and eight Ne
braskans dug trenches In the Ponca
Greek area. They estimated the
ancient city Of the farmers. which
they believe was destroyed by drought,
was three miles long and a half mile
wide. The party dug 800 feet Of
trenches.
Discovery Of the ancient civilization
by Bell upset beliefs that no Mid
western civilization existed prior to
500 years ago. DR.. Bell said. He said
he believed intelligent Indians" in
habited this city and said the scien-
fists were determined in find out in
detail what type of men they were.
