DETROIT IS ERECTING
TEMPLE OF MOHAMMED

In Detroit. Mich. is now being
erected the first edifice of worship In
the United States for the followers OF
the prophet Mohammed. The mosque
will be 45x30 feet, distinguished by
two minarets, Ranking a great dome
in the center of the building. The
minarets are surmounted by the
crescent and the star, the sacred
sym bols of Islam.
Detroit Is regarded as the seat for
the Western centre of Islam. since
within her bounds live more than
16, 900 Mohammedans of many nation
alities- No city in America has an
equal number of Musselmans-
The mosque is the gift of Mohammed
Karoub. a wealthy real estate man and
devout Musselman. When II Is com
pleted ii will pass into the custody of
Moslem Selah or congregation of De-
troit, and its upkeep will be from
money contributed by the faithful. II

parts of America in pilgrimages OF
worship. There are only two mosques
in Europe maintained by the Moslems.
One is in Budapest and the other In

URGES MORTGAGE BANK
TO PROMOTE HOUSING
Realtors Have Fallen Down on
Job, SAYS New Yorker.

Elias A. Cohen. president OF the
Broadway-John Street Corporation.
New York city, would solve the hous-
ing problem by the formation of
mortgage bank with a capital OF
$500 600, 900, the stock of which could
be exchanged for Liberty bonds held
by savings banks, life insurance COM
panies, etc. Cohen outlined his scheme
before the Brooklyn Real Estate
Board.
"The real estate fraternity of thus
city has fallen down on it's jub," said
Mr.. Cohen. an many instances even
today dishonesty, injustice and sell
fishness form a great part OF the busi-
ness.
Until we of the real estate fra
ternity face the truth with courage.
faith and an intense honesty of pur-
pose the great problem of housing
will not be solved.
"A mortgage bank having the capi-
tai of $50O,0O0.0 900 would solve the
present necessity for more homes The
money would be loaned as called for
and needed by home builders. One to
two family houses would be given
preference. And unless they were
fireproofed and elevators were in
stalled no multiple FAMILY houses over
four stories should be constructed.
"The money for such bank exists
in frozen credits now lying in the
savings banks. life insurance COM
panies, fire insurance companies. all
of which are tax exempt. These frozen
credits are Liberty bonds. Under the
plan each bank or company would
take stock. paying for IL with their
Liberty bonds at par. The price Of
Liberty bonds would instantly rise all
over the country II they were de-
posted in the mortgage bank at par
to wait their new date.
"I would recommend that money be
loaned on 80 per cent of the cost Of
land and building at 9 per cent per

annum. When this would be reduced
to 20 per cent the interest would be
reduced to 6Ia per cent and so on
down to the smaller amounts.
The city of New York has 100000

The leases OF the subways terminate

Chamber Commerce
To Conduct Room
and Rental Bureau

All advertisements offering rooms
or rooms and board that the News
receives are being passed on to the
Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber
is daily receiving many inquiries for
houses to rest, for furnished and I'M
furnished rooms and for boarding
Accommodations.
While the Chamber is leading no
encouragement to the "snow birds"
seeking employment for few
months, there is a marked increase
in the number of letters being re-
ceived from families that want to
take up residence in Florida. Some
of the letters are from skilled me-
chanics, professional men, farmers,
clerks, in fact from most every pro-
tessien and trade.
There is a crying need for more
houses in Palatka. The instances are
frequent, Secretary Hart says, where
people want to come to Palatka, il
they can find houses to rent until
they are satisfied that their business
will pay, that it is becoming more
serious than can be presently esti-
mated. 1t is true that the housing
situation is acute in many sections
but the instances are few where
people with homes in other sections
are going to give them up and come
to a section where there are INSULT
cient homes at present.
With such a demand it would seem
profitable to form a stock corpora
ton to erect at least fifty houses in
Palatka. 1t is not urged as develop
ment proposition for number of
houses to be erected in one section,
but rather the advisable thing to
do, it seems, is to dot the city with
new homes. The contention that rent
property will not bring good returns
is being argued about the city with
offers to rent at a gross return of
ten per cent. This certainly should
be an attractive contract for a new
building company. 1t cannot start
too soon.

rector of the university was then
Monsignor (later Cardinal) Com
massei.
81 always look back on my days
in Rome as the happiest of my life,"
the archbishop told the Associated
Press man. "Rome with it's memo
ries, sacred and profane; Rome, the
gathering place of, it would seem,
the world; Rome, consecrated by the
blood of Saints Peter and Paul; that
Rome, guarded by the scenic Alban
hills will never be forgotten"
More than once during his stay he
had the privilege of an audience with
the then Pope Leo VIII and his
sainted successor, now Pope Plus x.
On June 29, 1904, the young priest
bid adieu to the Eternal City and
the early days of July found him at
homie in Abilene after an absence
of four years from his parents. He
sailed November from Queenstown
for New York, planting his foot first
on American soil November 9. He
reported to his bishop, the late Bish-
OPP Kenny at st. Augustine on the
eve of Thanksgiving.
His first charge was St. Peters
parish, DeLand. With the exception
of eleven months of the year 1905
spent as secretary to the bishop and
chancellor of the diocese, all of the
then Father Curley's years as a
priest were spent in DeLand. While
castor at DeLand he had charge of
all the missions from New Smyrna
to Fort Pierce and his missionary
work kept him on the road almost
constantly. There were very few
people along that $50 miles of then
almost barren coast, who did not
know the young priest in those days.
He built a new church and rectory
at DeLand; enlarged the church and
built small rectory in New Smyr-
ma; gave Fort Pierce its first Cath
Ollie church and through it maintain
ed the most friendly and cordial re-
lations with his protestant neigh
5ors. In fact the new archbishop of
Baltimore has always been proud of
the fact that "my protestant friends
outnumber my Catholic friends, ten
to one."
The then priest became an Amer
!can citizen as soon as the law al
lowed, swearing allegiance to the
American republic with "all the more
eagerness, since never owed allie
glance to any other government"
Bishop Kenny died in October 1918
and on April 8, 1914, Pope Plus X
named the young priest as Bishop Of
st. Augustine. He was then just
ten years a priest, and thirty-four
years and six months old-one of the
youngest men who had ever held so
important a post in the church. He
was consecrated in the old Cathedral
of st. Augustine June 80 by Bishop
Kelley of Savannah.
The seven years of his episcopate
have been busy ones. He has caused
to be erected at least thirty-five new
churches.
Just a few weeks ago he was en-
thusiastic in his great work. GAIL
over the state there is a steady
steram of converts coming into the
fold There never was finer spirit
among the Catholic people since the
day when the intrepid Pedro Menen,
dez kneeled at the first mass offered
on the site of St. Augustine. Tween.
ty years from now will see the dio
cese of Florida one of the finest in

His creed as he summed it up il
recent conversation is just three
words-"God and country" and he
boasts of his pride in his citizen
ship in the America of today.
