has Increased Nash production by
; nearly; SO per cent and has set

the August dally record.
"With the completion of this

a position to more nearly meet our
heavy sales demands and at the

standards of precision work which
have been factors of vital impor

more Turks are soon to be added
to the crowded ranks of-the job
less in the once flourishing queen
city of the 'Byzantines.
They are the mosque attendants
charged with checking the shoes
of the faithful, and more recently
hats as well, since the fex be
came taboo. It is an ancient tra
dition that worshippers must en
ter Moslem . places of. worship
bare so as not to track: .In the un
sanctifiedLdust of the streets.
With Kernel's order that shoes
henceforth be kept on and that
pews replace prayer-rugs, there
eventually will be no more check
ing of headgear or footgear at the
mosque doors.
