Mrs. Steyer said there is evil
dence that Indians once used this
cave as a shelter or living quarters,
for arrowheads and small pieces
of pottery, such as they made and
used, have been found.
The temperature IN the rear of
the cave varies little from season
to season, but during very cold
weather there is a display of icicles
near the entrance. some hanging
from the roof and some standing
up from the floor, caused by the
condensation of moisture dripping
from the roof. 1t is such display
of winter many years ago, which
is shown in the picture today
Mrs Steyer reports many visi-
tors to the cave during the sum-
mer months. and a few hardy
enough to make the trip during
the winter The cave is within a
half mile of good road, She said,
but from there it is only rough
path. Many of the visitors cannot
walk this far through the under
brush, but at the present time
there is no other way Of reaching
it.
The cave is on farm which
was purchased soon after the Civil
War by the late Elisha Harvey
where he lived until his death in
1918 Mr. Harvey was the father
of Mrs. Steyer Many years ago
she reports. someone carved the
inscription "Elisha'S Cavern on a
rock near the entrance. and it is
by this name that the cave is
known to many. She located it more
particularly as being four and one
half miles from Mountain Lake
Park. one mile from the Loeb
Lynn-Gorman road.
It was recalled. too that for a num-

area TO meet at this cave on Easter

Picture Is Old But
Scene Remains Same

This weeks picture is somewhat
different from most of those which
have previously appeared. True,
the photograph is old, but the
scene has scarcely changed through
the years, and indeed the snap
shot might have been made almost
any time during the past month or
50.

Cave. a large underground cham
Der located in the Ryan's Glade
community and is now owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Steyer,
who submitted the photograph to-
gether with some information
about the unusual natural wonder.
The roof of the cave, according
TO Mrs. Steyer, is large layer of
sandstone which extends far up
the side of Backbone mountain
Inside, is a room more than a
hundred feet in each direction,
with sloping sides extending much
farther At the center, the roof
arches to a height of ten or twelve
feet

with rocks of various sizes and

chamber is a passage where the
explorer may 90 in at one point

turned to Rollo and said:
well, Crumb?" He got up
and said Excuse me" and
went out to the car and came
back with a jack. Liz shook
her head sadly. Anybody
want a flat fixed?" She said.
He has told her. on several
occasions, that he would die
for Liz If it would bring a
sparkle of alteration to her
eyes. Her reply was that it
was almost worth thinking
over. She asked him to put
the upstairs screens in and
Rollo said that height makes
him dizzy.
Liz put on a pair of orange
Slacks, and Rollo held the
ladder while she changed the
storm sash for screens. An
unthinking neighbor added
to Rollo's unhappiness by
leaning out a window and
chirping: Its easy to see
who wears the pants in your
family"
About a month ago, the
local newspapers ran several
stories on a mysterious sni-
per. Random shots had been
fired through windows, and
two cars had been hit. Rollo
told Liz what he would do If
he trapped the sniper. He
was still dreaming about be-
coming her hero, dead or
alive. This time she didn't
even laugh. Just grunted.
Last Saturday evening, he

Rollo doesn't like these par

drinks too much and he
drinks too little. Sometimes,
she does wild hula dances.
Most of the time, he just
stands near the drapes,
watching the people and
smiling sadly to himself.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Rheumatic Fever Diounosis
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
g. year = old son is being
treated with corticosteroids
for rheumatic fever. can
thank my doctor for making
the diagnosis early enough
to prevent heart complica-
tions. Will you discuss the
disease? I thought that joints
were always swollen and in
famed in this condition. My
son never had trouble with
his jointS.-Mrs. w. Indiana.
AT TIMES the diagnosis
is easy. In the typical case,
there is a history of severe
sore throat, tonsillitis, bad
cold or scarlet fever a few
weeks before the onset of
rheumatic fever itself. Then
the patient, apparently re-
covered, become listless,
tired. has poor appetite, loses
weight, becomes anemic and
runs a fever of 101-103. He
may also have nausea, vom-
iting and pain in the abdo-
men. To top it off, an elbow,
wrist, knee or ankle becomes
hot and swollen, and painful
and tender to the touch.
Usually, more than one joint
becomes involved.
BedreSt is important. In
addition to salicylates and
aspirin, doctors now pre-
scribe corticoSteroids, which
seem to diminish the likeli-
hood of heart complications.

own house, and part of his
car. He has a wife who can
look down on the bald spot
on his head. Liz is a sort of
big woman, reading roughly
42-34-65 from north to south.
For some humorleSs reason,
Rollo calls her his little
woman. This irritateS her,
but then, so does most every
thing else he does.
They have no children.
Two cats stare resentfully at
the love birds each evening.
They also stare at a parakeet
named Paul, who sits in
shaky isolation in a brass
cage in the dining room.
Paul gave up talking the day
he arrived. He felt q chill
and he hasn't been able to
get warm since.
The main goal in Rollo's
life has been to be Liz's
hero. He wants to be her
big herman, but he never
makes it. It's an obSeSsion
now. When she expressed an
admiration for Lloyd Bridges,
Rollo went out and bought
a frog man outfit, but when
Liz saw it she burst into
laughter. It's in a packing
case in the attic. So are
Rollo'S dreams.
Once, when they sat in a
local bar, a stranger across

1t isn't Rollo'S fault. He
tries. Somehow, when he gets
up to play a violin solo be-
fore the local PTA, a string
breaks. He has lots of luck,
all of it hard. If he washes
the car, it rains. If he leaves
the house with an umbrella,
it doesn't.
NO MAN LIKES to be the
kind of man other people set
their watches by, but Rollo
is that kind of man. He is
painfully prompt, and he has
more dignity than brains. He
is a completely proper per-
son, a small figure in the
world Of business, society and
even maritally.
He has worked IS years
for the same steel company
and has hung his fedora on
the same tree all those years.
Rollo never got to the top,
although, if he knew you
well enough, he would con-
fide that promotion in his
company is a matter of who
you know, not what you
know. Once, some years ago,
he made a suggestion to the
top bosses for improving the
rolling mill. They told him
that his idea had been tried
so years ago and been found
to be worthless.
Rollo owns most of his

After all, what good will it
do your mother if I say that
the swelling may be caused
by a faulty heart, liver, kid

other conditions?
I believe that too many
people are influenced by q
sick member who won't seek
medical attention. When q
person is sick he is often
the last to know what is
good for him. Whether the
patient wants to see a doctor
or not, call for medical help.
He may get angry, but only
for a while. When improve

thankful that you had the
