The Kansas structure, in addition to
being one of the most imposing build
ings, occupies one of the most beau
tiful sites of the exposition grounds.
The location for the Kansas building
was agreed upon several months ago
when members of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Hodges went to
California and made their own selec-
ton. Plans for the structure were
drawn by Charles Chandler, Kansas
state architect. Contract for the con-
struction was let to a San Francisco
firm and work on the building is now
under way.
Old colonial style Of architecture is
represented in the Kansas building,
which when completed will face di-
rectly on the great Avenue of Com
monwealths. Its nearest neighbor is
the West Virginia building to the
north and the Michigan building to
the east. Just step from the rear
of the Kansas building is the beau
tiful beach of San Francisco bay.
The main structure of the Kansas
building will be two stories in height,
with open galleries. one story in
height at each end of the building

The quiet life Of Mrs BathShcba NJ Allen
whose death last night brought grief to a wide
circle of friends, was marked by much gcnrr0S-
ity of which the public never heard but which
was extremely practical benovolence 1t was
only by chance some months ago the fact became
knOwnt that Mrs. Allen had given $4,000 to set
on its feet a homestead scheme for the Waimpa
section of Hawaii A number of wOuld-be home
Steaders found that they, could secure the land
but considerable money was necessary to estab-
fish the project with the necessary equipment of
houses farm implements and farm animals
Mrs. Allen put $4,000 into the plan, expressing
to one of the hOmPsteaderS her hope that ulti-
mately diversified agriculture in Hawaii would
he developed so that the small farmer could be
assured of a comfortable living for himself and
family. She asked no security for the advances,
but the hOmeSteaders and Governor Frpar saw
to it that an arrangement was made so that some
security was afforded her In the numbcrlcSS
instances where her help was freely extended,
there were none, probably, in which her desire
to assist in the permanent welfare of others
more clearly manifested itself

"A very effective check has been placed upon

high above the roadbed to give the passengers of
