CAPITOL HILL
PENNSYLVANIA BUILDING
IS NEARINC COMPLETION
The Keystone State Will Have One of
the Most Graceful State Buildings
at the San Francisco Exposition—
Will Open Next February
Secretary Walter Gaither, of the
Pennsylvania Commission to the Sun
fr'rancisco Panama-Pacific Exposition,
has received word that work on the
handsome Pennsylvania building, to be
used by Pennsylvanians during the ex
position, is rapidly being pushed, and
the building is now under roof. The
Pennsylvania building will not cost as
much as some of the other State build
ings, but it is of a very graceful type
of architecture, and it is built for com
fort and convenience of all Pennsvl
vanians who visit the big show. Tile
wings are to be fitted up for exhibition
balls wherein Pennsylvania history will
be shown, and the great centre hall will
have a place for the old Liberty Bell.
The introduction of Bangor slate for
roofing on the Pacific slope, the State
building being covered with it, has
made an impression on the people from
other countries, and it is stated that
the Argentine government, on seeiflg
the roof of the Pennsylvania building,
at once changed its plans and decided
to use slate as safer and handsomer.
The Exposition will be opened next
February, but before that time the
Pennsylvania building will be dedicated
bv the State Commission accompanied
bv State officials.

s j the University of Pennsylvania has ap
pointed Ira L Gordon, of the bridge
ir ami construction department of the
i- Pennsylvania Steel Company, tempor
t arv chairman for the purpose of organ
- ' 7 ' u g- Mr. Gordon chose a oonstitu
i tioual committer, which set to work
* drawing up a constitution which will
go\ em the body. The members of the
constitutional committee were chosen
with the idea of having the entire class
represented in all of its organizations.
The men 011 Hie committee are: George
I ' !!'!'• "' r " Technical High school; I'.
A. Hshel, Central High school; Samuel
S. Hecker, 4 9 South Eleventh street;
George H. Wirt, State Department of
Forestry; Roy (.', Mumma, Hershev;
Harry P McPadden, 108 North Se'e-
II ond street; Raymond S. Caton, 208
Walnut street.
Last night tiit> constitutional com
mittee submitted a constitution to the
11 class, which was unanimously adopted
a by it after a few minor changes had
been made. According to the constitu
e tion, the organization shaill be known
as the ißamsburg Wharton Extension
Si-hoot Association. It further pro
titles that there shaill be elected a pres
ident, three vice presidents, a secretary,
a treasurer, an advisory committee of
seven and a cheer leader. In addition,
the president has the power to appoint
J any other necessary committees and, in
view of the fact that the school has
already been invited to play the Phil
delphia evening school a series of bas
ketball games, it is quitep ossible that
I the president, soon to be elected, will
immediately appoint an athletic com
mittee to look after the school's ath
letics.
Mr. Raine. who paid the school a
visit last night, stated that the S.-ran
ton and W ilkes-Barre schools were al
ready organized along literary, debat
ing. athlet.c, social, publicity and other
lines and were very anxi«us to have a
series of debates, basketball anil base
ball games with the Harrishurg school
before the close of the college year.
Nominations for oilices will be re
coved next \\ ednesdav evening and the
election of officers will take place the
following Wednesday evening. It is
urged that every member of the class
take an active part in this ejection and
see to it that the best men in the
school be chosen to fill the important
j offices.

POSTAL SAYINGS INCREASE
j The Ksceipts Commenced to Grow With
, the Opening of Hostilities in Eu
ropean War
I
Washington, Oct. 30.—The war in
Europe is proving a big boon to postal
savings in this country. From the very
day hostilities opened across the seas
postal-savings receipts began to increase
by leaps and bounds ami withdrawals
fell otr, a result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-informed per
sous who, in their imagination, saw
lines of feverish depositors at postoffice
pay window-anxkras to again return
their savings to the boot-leg and body
belt depositories whence they came be
fore intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the
forecasters failed to reckon on the ab
solute confidence of the American citi
zen, regardless of the (lag that first met
his eyes, ill the ability and purpose of
the Government to carry out its obli
gations, not only among the nations of
th tf earth, but with the humblest citizen
of our land.
Two important results have follow
ed; thousands of people, largely of for
eign birth, accustomed to send their
savings abroad, are now patrons of our
postal-savings system: and enormous
sums of actual cash have be; i n released
for commercial uses among our own
people at a time when the need for
every available dollar is pressing.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting problems
which have called for the careful per
sonal consideration of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and Governor Dockery,
Third Assistant Postmaster' General.
But their task has been lightened some
what by the promptness of depository
bauks in furnishing additional security
to meet the abnormal deposits. A nuni-1
ber of the very latest banks in the
country, which have heretofore declined j
to qualify as depositories for post-sav-:
ings funds, are now among the eager!
applicants for them.
