state when the weather moderates and
the 1914 building season opens with a
rush. Weather permitting, there will
be considerable building this winter.
In 1913 there was a good showing
made in building. As was stated in
the annual building permit summary
published in this paper permits in To
peka aggregated nearly a million dol
lars. Of the 630 permits Issued 360
called foi the erection of new dwell
ings or the remodeling of old ones at
an expenditure of approximately
$600,000. Builders in Topeka confi
dently, expect to exceed these figures.
Flat Fad Is Here.
" One of the interesting features of
the 1914 building will be the erection
of expensive flat or apartment build
ings. The flat "fad" has struck To
peka and -more buildings of this type
will be erected in Topeka In the next
twelve months than has ever been the
case m a like period.
Contracts have been let for three
of a group of four flat buildings that
will be erected by Dr. L. H. Munn at
the corner of Fifth and Polk streets.
One of the buildings is an old one
which is being remodeled at a cost of
13,800. It will be a two-story four
apartment frame structure with con
crete foundation, and made modern in
every respect. The other buildings in
the same group will cost approximate

Work of Shawnee Agency. -
The Shawnee Agency built eight
dwellings in Elm hurst and five facing
on Chesney park which makes eight in
all, as three others were constructed
by the firm the previous year. Mr.
Ham of the firm drew the plans.

- Another Apartment on Tenth.
F. C. Bowen contemplates the erec
tion of a three-story apartment house
at. 211 and 213 West Tenth avenue at
a cost of between $20,000 and $30,000.
It will probably be constructed of
brick. The size will be 40x100 feet,
and the building will include a dosen
apartments. Refrigeration and vac
uum cleaning systems will probably
be installed. Preliminary sketches for
the building have been drawn.
Frank C. Squires is preparing pre
liminary plans for a two-apartment
brick veneer building that will be
built at 1216 Fillmore street by Mrs.
C. W. Jewell. A large living room will
extend across the entire front of the
building thirty-three feet and there
will be an attractive veranda. Eachi
apartment will include a living room,
a . dining room, three bedrooms, a
bathroom and a kitchen. The plans
embrace many novel features.
A number of other persons have the
flat building "bug" and It is possible
that a dozen buildings of this type
will be built In Topeka In the course
of the year.
V Hundreds of Dwellings.
It is estimated that several hundred
new dwellings will be erected In the
capital city this year and scores of
old ones remodeled. The firms that
make a specialty of erecting dwellings
say that a large number of Topekans
are contemplating building in the
spring. One man stated that the last
before completion. This firm erected In
1913 also a half dosen dwellings in the
Melrose addition. Their other houses
were scattered in various parts of the
city. The company built three store
buildings at the corner of Fifteenth and
Lane streets. Iva G. Lleurance draws
the plans for the dwellings.
Wilson ft Neiswanger erected a half
dozen attractive homes in 1913 to sell
at from $2,750 to $4,000. Four of them
were two story modern houses and two
later in the afternoon. The little tots
in their nursery rhyme drills pleased
the crowd. . The girls' basketball
teams of the T. W. C. A. and the First
Christian church resulted in a 6 to

. Kansas City, Jan. 2. "Ignorance on
the part of a missionary will not long
hold the intellectual respect of the
Oriental student," declared Professor
Charles R. Henderson of the Univer
sity of Chicago, in urging better train

and actual social service before, the
student volunteer convention for for
eign missions here today. The object
of the movement is to secure trained
college men and women to volunteer
for service In foreign fields.-

Easy Payment Plans.
The fact that so many dwellings are
built nowadays to sell on the partial
payment plan has made it more diffi
cult than ever before for property own
ers to sell for cash. The comment is
often made that this system does the
town more harm than good. The arch
