. ALLIANCE OPPOSES |Chicago’s Three Leaning Towers SUNDAY SHOWS FR THE ACTORS FUND »Dr. Bowlby of Lord’s Day Or- Sganization Against New Year’s Eve Performances. Forfthree days the Rev. Dr. H. L. Jowlby, General Secretary of the ) ‘Lord's May Alliance, who recently set | out to abolish Sunday golf and mo- } tion pictures in this country, has | been thinking over an announcement made Friday by theatre managers. The producers made it known that ty, special permission of the Bureau @f Licenses there would be perform- ances of plays in all New York thea- tres Sunday night, New Year's Eve, part of the proceeds to go to the Aoctora’ Fund of America. Last night Dr. Bowlby had his say. “The Lord's Day Alliance,” he said, “4s opposed to the opening of theatres on Sunday and especially so under what appears clearly enough to be a camouflage of the real purpose. It would bo a violation of the Sunday laws. It is not in tho re@l Nemes of the word a charity beneff\ but a move to enrich the theatre manage ‘With biz Sunday prices, probably stwico as !ugh as on other days for the New Yeur's Live performance, and even witl 25 per cent. of the gross moing to the Actor's Fund one can easily see how much money would fall into the coffers of the theatrical managers. “Prom a humanitarian standpoint the thinking citizens of York ought to rise against such a use of Sunday night, Dec. 31." Daniel Frobman, President of the Actors’ Fund, and Aug Thomas, head-of the Producing Managers’ As sociation, aid last night that Mr Bowlby was acting under a mistaken surmise. The understanding is, they aaid, that about 25 per cent. of Proceeds will represent the profit the performance, and tht all of t amount will go to the Actors’ Fund, so that there will be no profit what ever for the manager r. Frohman and Mr. Thomas de 1 > that ji there is no idea of making these per- formances an opening wedge in a cam- paign for Sunday night shows. The Actors’ Fund is opposed to that, Mr. Wrohman said, and so are the actor and actresses, and the managers are with them in their stand. $<» MUSSOLINI WILL WAR ON ITALIAN PLOTTERS Premier Empowered to Act Against Trouble Makers. ht, 1922 (New York Evening World), Goose tes Publishing Company ROMB, Dec. 18.—Premier Mussolini obtained {ull powers from Saturday's Cabinet council to act against turbulent e:d insidious elements.

T.U0A.M. 11,00 A.M Lean No More, Rest on Bedrock Lowering of Foundations of Skyscrapers Built on Piles in Nineties Hal's Settling. CHICAGO, Dec, 18.—Chicago's three “leaning towers," skyscrapers built during the nineties, now are resting firmly on bedrock foundations eighty feet below the surface. The three big office buildings, among the first in the skyscraper class, originally were built on pile foundations, and when the Piles settled they were left noticeably out of plumb, An inquiry disclosed that all three® had been jacked up while foundations were continued down to the solid rock, and that since the alteration was made there has been no further settling. Chicago is underlaid by a solid silurian deposit of Niagara limestone, from forty to eighty feet down, Over it is a loose deposit of blue clay and other material, Some of the first skyscrapers, fol- lowing building methods then in vogue, were erected on forests of pil-~ ing, but the foundations proved un- suited to holding the immense weight of the big office structures. Chicago's building laws limit the height of office buildings to 260 feet. It is impossible, geologists at the University of Chicago say, to pile up enough weight within that limit to cause any shifting or slipping of the bedrock foundations. The clay de- hand, are subject to a slight slipping movement. Workmen who dug the sixty miles of freight subway under the loop streets found that blue clay had about the consistency of well, worked putty, and that {t was impossible to handle it by any ordinary methods. They finally solved the problem of equip- ping steel bands three fect long with handles, like @ cross cut saw. Holding the blade in both hands, the workman would bend it into the form of a horseshoe and hack out the soft clay from the tunnel heading, while compressed air held back the mass until forms could be placed and the concrete walls poured.
