MECCA ON THE AIR
The new broadcasting station at JMecca has been constructed under difficulties, because no one may enter the cacred city of the Prophet but faithful adherents.

On their return they trained a hundred Arab workmen, and now the station is beginning to give out transmissions to the Moslem world.
