Two spur tracks, accommodating 14 cars, will run from the Pennsylvania Railroad’s main line to the second-story level of the structure.

The first fellowship goes to Lehigh Uni- versity for a two-year period and carries with it an annual stipend of $1,100. Other fellowships will be established later. Novel Use of Stencil An unusual but interesting man- ner of treating woodwork is to ap- ply a stencil design i§ combination with staining. The stencil design is applied to the wood with varnish, clear lacquer or shellac. Next the stain is applied and the surplus stain removed. If the wood is to be fin- ished in natural color the stencil is done in japan or color varnish be- fore the surface is filled or var- nished. Synagogue Option Taken The Brotherhood of Beth El Syna- gogue, located at 702 Jefferson street N.W., has acquired an option for the purchase of the synagogue from Rabbi Israel Volkman. In exercis- ing this option the brotherhood has appointed a committee composed of Morris Hein, Arthur Lastfogel and Milton Davis to co-operate with Rabbi Volkman in management of the Shul, REAL ESTATE.
