Washington and replaces an earlier
mosque which was destroyed by fire
only a century ago.
Though somewhat crowded by
other buildings on its south side, the
mosque stands out gracefully from
most angles of approach- Its mina-

"In keeping with the usual pol-

channels where they may be most
useful for the national economy,
the current trend in life insurance
investments is towards meeting * •
capital needs of the preparedness
