Thirty days ahead of schedule time ten days ago when the committee in charge of the arrangements for the dedication of Jaffa mosque, Broad avenue and Twenty-second street announced Sept. 25 as dedication day, the Columbia Construction company bullder, has been gaining time right along and it is fully assured that not only will every, detail of the building be completed, but the grounds all fixed up. of the architect, have been at' Landscape gardeners, following the work for some time, smoothing up the layout Broad avenue side of the mosque is grounds.

Many people are driving about the mosque grounds to get better glimpse of the structure. It is not open for inspection yet. Visitors could do nothing but impede going to speed. be a The new mosque is marvel.

Watching construction from A distance, the average person has only in mind the four outer is walls without a thought of how it put up what holds it together. How is it or possible to construct auditorium, capable of seating 3,200 in the amphitheatre, 1,100 in the arena and, if necessary, close to another thousand on the stage, without a single obstruction in the form of a pillar? The answer is, forty-three ton a steel girders. Preliminary tests of the fection. Perfection acoustics is said acoustics are declared to indicate per- I to be more or less of a hit and miss I proposition, builders being nolses able and to soften and even ellminate echoes, but the final Anish and furnishings Installed indicate what the product is. Being close to the finishing point, it' is a certainty they wit be good.

And this is a matter of the greatest satisfaction. It is not the intention to immediately install a pipe organ in auditorium, but in anticipation of the installation, 8 place has been set apart where it. can be located. With good' acoustics, this will be a real feature of the building and something to attract Shriners, families and friends from everywhere. Another feature of the mammoth auditorium is the celerity with which it could be exited in case of neeessity.

There are numerous and ample exits and the builders declare that from the sounding of a signal, contemplating that the room is filled to capacity, it could be emptied, in order in ten minutes. There are no women's auxiliaries to the Shrine but ladies are very much in evidence at numerous entertainments and pleasure doings. Thus it became necessary, in planning the building, to provide some type of quarters for them. To the right and left of the main entrance, on the mezzanine, back of the amphitheatre, are beautifully appointed rooms for the use of the ladies as parlors, recreation and rest. rooms.

Potentate Lynn McG Moses and all his committees, are working hard on the perfection of plans for the dedication on Sept. 25 and for entertainment of the many thousands of visitors expected at that time.

OPINIONS DIFFER ON COAL INDUSTRY Whether the coal industry In central -Pennsylvania is good, dull or indif. ferent depends upon the viewpoint of the producer with whom one talks. Some say they are getting orders right along and that they are operating their mines steadily; others are pessimistic and assert they are not getting enough business for profitable operations or to keep their men busy. Out of this welter of opinions it is rather difficult to strike 8 general average. It probably depends largely upon the grade of coal produced.

The better grades are more casily marketed, because prices are low and consumers can get the very best coal at a moderate cost. July is about the same in The average daily productions in June. The output in the entire district to July 12 was 18,840 cars, as compared with 20,732 cars to the game date in June. The lower production this month was due to the shutdown over the Fourth.

He called the police and the coroner and while scarcely seemed a case for either, "the latter, directed they be placed the of a local undertaker. Nothing could be learned, of course, whose bones they were. Certainly they were properly interthere, originally, most likely before Altoona was founded, for a union cemetery was located, there and in late sixties or seventies the march of building prompted the moval of the bodlea in the entire burial ground elsewhere and this grave, likely an old one then and unmarked, was missed. The bones were brought to the counhome while Directors of the Poor C.
