12 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. Substitute Nominees T.

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.
