It is more than 1,320 feet deep, and its mouth is about 30 yards long and 20 yards wide. This is the first attempt to explore Bus de la Lum. It presents con: erable difficulties owing to the com- plete darkness in which the descent must be made, the danger of falling stones, the uneven walls of the cavity and the long descent.

This state- ment is made by Dr. Adolph Heil- bron, a German scientist, who blames the disfigurement upon women's in- vasion of man's domain of activities. “The women of the future,” ‘may have longer beards than any bearded woman. in any circus. As woman exercises more and more the functions formerly belonging to man, she also begins to assume a mascu- line growth of hair. Dr. Heilbron cites many well known | anthropologists in support of his statement that there has been a de- cided increase in the number of bearded women. He further expresses the belief that families wherein gen- erations of women bob their hair will develop bearded women as a parallel phenomenon Mt.Vernon Chair Car de Luxe Service $1.50 Ineluding Admission to Mount Vernon ALEXANDRIA Stopping Over in To visit Christ 10 e.m., 2 p.
