America's first great terminal for giant aircraft is nearing completion atT" LaTcehurst, N. J. This structure, the largest of its kiind on earth, is 803 feet long, 264 feet wide, and 195 feet high. Some idea of its immense size may be gleam ed from the fact that if set down in1 a "city the hangar would occupy three sona uiocKs. xts aoors aiv eacn enu stand more than 175 feet high and are 264 feet wide. A 16-storv skv- scraper could be pushed through the space disclosed by the doors when they are opened. The hangar is officially knowasThe United States Navy Airship Hangar, and represents the latest word in con struction for buildings of this type. It is planned to have it ready in in the early summer to house the two giant dirigibles now under construction, tlie Z R-l, building ' at League Island navy yard, Philadelphia and the Z. R-2, nearing completion in England The transatlantic flight of the latter is scheduled for late in July or early in August and the United States Navy Department plans to have the hangar completed for service before" the air ships are ready to sail. Incidental to the hangar is a gigan tic mooring mast to which grat diri gibles may be tied when it is imprac ticable to house them inside the han gar. Tne mast is so constructed tnat the giants of the air will be moored, bow. on, and will swing in the direc tion of the wind thus avoiding tne dangerous force exerted by high winds. The result of experiments with.' the Lakehurst mooring mast will determine the policy of the Navy De partment in erecting similar mooring masts at various air stations through out the country, such at As. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle, New .Orleans, At lanta, Columbus, O., and San Diego. The new airships nearing completion are of such large proportions, each being 700 feet long and 85 feet in dia amater, as large as many of the great ocean liners, that the manner or "docking" them presented serious problems in engineering, but ft is be lieved that the Lakehurst hangar will go far toward solving many of these problems. First in importance came the ques tion of doors to the hangar. Each leaf of the two doors, there being two leaves to a door, -is made up of 800 tons of steel and corrugated asbestos. These leaves are supported on con crete trucks which in turn rest or wheels the size of those on a freight car. The leaves are rolled apart by a 25-horse-power electric hiotor.

COMING CORONATION OF KING AND QUEEN DFRUMANIA (By .isoeiated Press) Ilba Julia, Transylvania, June 10. King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Rumania wrill be crowned here Septem ber 24. Plans are now being made for the erection of a church for use in the religious service of the coronation and in m emory of - the - great battles which brought Greater Rumania into being. The church, it is expected will seerve for the crowning of all iu ture kings of Rumania. On the outskirts of this little Saxon town, where five hundred years ago Michael the Brave, Rumania's George Washington, scored a victory over the Hungarians, a monumental arch, with reliefs commemorating events in Ru manian history, will be erected. - On the coronation day, after a ser vice at the new' church, at which all the Rumanian Bishops will be present, the King and Queen, crowned, will proceed to the new triumphal area, where there will be a great military pageant. ' In thee afternoon and evening there will be gala entertainments, including a banquet in the hall in which the un ion of Transylvania with Rumania was proclaimed in December, 1918. The next day the Soverigns will ar rive in Bucharest and make a trium phal entry into the Rumanian capital. Washington, June 10.

A conference of coal miners delegates has decided that a ballot be taken of all the coal fields on the proposals of mine owners for settlement of the strike. This is gen erally considered a long step toward peace. (By U. S. Press) Washington, June 10. Of the 22,- 030 miles of Federal aid roads which have been built or are now under construction, more than two-thirds are earth roads, sand clay", or gravel, says the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads. These have cost less than one-third of the total amount expend ed as compared with nearly 50 per cent of the estimated cost applied to 4,890 miles of hard surfaced roads.

PEACEOETWEEN RUMANIA AND SDVIET RUSSIA ASSURED (By Associated Press) Bucharest, June 10. Peace between Rumania and Soviet Russia seems as sured, says Take Jonesco, Rumanian Minister of Foreign Affairs. "We do not meddle in internal Rus sian affairs," he said, "any more than we would permit any meddling in ours. The Soviets reiterate that thev have no intention of attacking us. I am bound to believe them and know that we shall not attack. "According to our information there are fewer Bolshevik troops on our frontier than there were during the winter. "Likewise we have truly friendly, fraternal relations with Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Greece. With Poland we are in agreement to maintain peace on our eastern, fron tiers. We are opposed to the return of the Hapsburgs which would be a great danger for the peace of Europe" Economic conditions in Rumania, he said, were improving, the finances were in good condition and the future seemed favorable. .A t
