CAVE ENGULFS
BIRMINGHAM
BUILDINGS
Earth Swallows House,
Street, Trees and
Front Yards.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 22.-
Alarmed over the freak of nature that
resulted in a series of cave-ins, in
which portion Of street, garage,
coal house, huge oak tree and the
front yard of one house and the rear
yard of two others have been mys-
teriously swallowed up by the earth
here, city authorities Friday sent q
hurried call to the University of Ala
bama for geological experts to come
here and investigate the mystery.
The first cavern occurred Wednes-
day when a yawning hole, 20 feet in
diameter and % feet deep, suddenly
appeared in the front yard Of ]. w.
Brannum. The hole gradually widen
ed causing the Brannum family to va
cate the house for fear it would be
swallowed M.
The other cave-ins occurred last
night some 20 blocks from the scene of
the first. The back yard of Mrs. J.
r. CulverhOuse gave way, swallowing
up double garage, the coal house and
a huge oak tree.
Various theories have been advanced
as the cause of the cave-ins, some con-
tending an underground river winds
its way under the city, and others
that "dead" underground lake is re-
sponsible. Old residents recall pre-
vious cave-ins in the vicinity and tell
tales of chimneys slipping away and
even of whole houses being swallowed
up by the earth.
City authorities are thoroughly
alarmed, and police have roped off the
affected areas to thwart any danger Of
loss of life.

The curtain was deferentially held I'M
I'll the audience had talked itself out,
and then lifted its length slowly, and
reluctantly.
The convention of applause at the
very rise of the curtain was amusing

gime--and then when it discovered
that its applause had been bestowed

In Paris, the "Claque" has abso-
lutely killed all genuine applause.
Nothing of the kind happens in the
French metropolis. The "Claque" is
such an institution there, that audi
ences rely upon it. They know that
the applause is bogus, and they de-
cline to cater to the bogus idea. j
should hate to see this callous atti-
tude become a regular thing here. But
it is on the way! 1t is bound to
come. Our claques are not as cut
and-dried as those in Paris, but they
are, for that reason, even more dan
gerous. They trifle with our best
sentiments. Spontaneous applause is
a joy. 1t is gorgeously inevitable. To
watch its imitation, its clumsy coun-
tcrfeit. is solemnly dreadful and we
should deplOre 1t. Any manager, il he
so wills it, can do away with the
spurious article, even If he be obliged
to cover the hands of the ushcrs with
heavy flannel gloves.
START TOO LATE.
The new season has started with the
usual contempt for the advertised time
of starting a performance. So far,
nothing except "June days" at the
AstOr has begun on time. The other
performances have sneered at such
convention as an early curtain. Let
me tell You what they do in London
in that matter. On the first night of
any show, the performance starts ex-
actly a quarter Of an hour earlier
than It does on. any subsequent night,
for the sake of the reviewers. The
advertisements usually say Tonight
at S:15, and on subsequent nights at
S 80"

than it does on any other night. This

NOT SEX,
REJUVENATEO
BY GLANDS
Real Purpose of Treatment
Not Understood by
Majority.
BY NORMAN HARE, M. T
Written For Universal Service,

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Eyery-
where / am impressed with the great
misapprehension which exists over
the rejuvcnation treatment, or gland
grating. Sensational press reports
have broadcasted a false idea of the
whole question, and have led many So
ber-minded persons to dismiss it with.
out further consideration.
A chief factor of disrepute is that
the sexual side of the question has
been over-cmphasized, with the result
that many think that it aims merely
to restore WORKOUT roues to renewed
possibilities of life of unbridled Ii
ccnse.
SEX SECONDARY
The truth is that the good effects
of the operation are mainly physical
and mental, and where sexual reju-
vcnation occurs it is not primary. 1t
is only secondary to the improvement
in general health.
There is no mystery about the way
in which these operations work. They
stimulate one of the ductless glands
and cause it to produce its important
internal secretion in greater quantity
or in better quality. This secretion
is carried in the blood to every part
of the body, and can act on all the
other ductless glands and all the other
organs of the body.
For instance, the skin receiving
better supply of blood, becomes better
nourished, and so, the appearance i'm
proves. In the same way, hair fol-
licleS receive q better supply of blood,
and as a result, new hair often sprouts
on a bald head.
These two examples are visible to
the naked eye, but organs deeply
the kidneys, or the stomach, may be
similarly subjected to beneficial in
fluences.
Rejuvenadon is a very bad word. 1t
is too sensational, and yet, it is diff
cult to find any other word which will
so faithfully describe the changes
which may occur as the result of the
operation.
NOT PANACEA
These operations are not a panacca.
They are not suitable in every case.
They will not cure all the ills that
flesh is heir to. They will have no
effect on cancer nor will they restore
an irreparably damaged organ to its
original healthy condition.
If senility, whether normal or pre-
mature, has gone too far, the patient
may not be able to respond to the
stimulus of the operation. But even
in cases of organic diseases, or severe
breakdown in health, the operation
may have a considerable beneficial eff
feet. 1t is impossible, yet, to say,
whether or not, these operations actu-
ally prolong life. but in rats. they
have been proved to lengthen life by
as much as % per cent.
1t is certain that the operation does
not shorten life at all, and that there
is no possibility of its having any i'll
effect on the patients health. OF
course. with this, as with any other
operation, bad results may follow the
work of an unskillful surgeon, just as
bad results may follow the removal of
teeth by an Unskillful dentist.
