ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD?
THE STYLES ARE CHANGING

Among the exclusive and distinct
i've features of the international
Wheat Show and Food Conservation
Congress at Wichita, October 1-13,
is the demonstration of the new plains
architecture as shown in the main en-
trance of the exposition.
The architects of the West have
gradually evolved something entirely
new and fresh in the artistic lines of
their latest designs. There is some
thing of the old Spanish Mission style
about The plains architecture. 1t has
the long horizontal lines and the over
hanging shade-producing roofs and
cornices and the fiat effect which
gives the idea Of avoiding the strength
Of the breezes. The new design, how
ever, relieves the otherwise squat eff
feet by introducing bold, long verti-
cal lines and a square massiveness
which gives the idea of virility and
substantial power which is possessed
by Kansas people.
Take particular notice OF the main
entrance when you attend the Fair
and Exposition in October. 1t is one
Of the heralds of a style which will
spread over the whole plains area in
The next decade.

AMERICAN GLASS IN CHINA.

Most of the window glass import
ed into China at present is Of Ameri-
can manufacture, instead of being
the product of Belgian glass works,
as before the war. The United
States also supplies the larger part
of the plate glass imports, says Pop
ular Mechanics, and would supply
practically all Of both grades of
glass, according to our consul gen.
eral at Hongkong, if freight rates
from this country were Eeadjvsted to
meet those from Great Britain.
Large stocks of Belgian and Brit
ISL window glass were on hand in
Hongkong warehouses when the war
came, and it took a year or more to
deplete these stocks and open the
market for American glass, which
was sent to China in large quantities
in 1916.

BARNES H|PPODROME WILL
Be A GREAT ATTRACTION

The Wichita Forum will have slop-
ing floor this fall for the big show.
This will permit the accommodation of
a greater crowd than ever and all
will be able to see and hear perfectly.
The Barnes 1917 Hippodrome will
be one of the main attractions Of the
Forum. For the benefit of those who
have not been in the Forum it might
be stated that the stage is the largest
in Kansas and easily accommodates a
complete circus troupe, with gigantic
elephants, horses, dogs and acrobatic
apparatus of various kinds
Horses race around the rings and
dogs career madly about, while aero
batic performers mount to dizzy
heights among the flies.
At the front of the stage is a mon
ster set of curtains, decorated beauti-
fully with classic paintings. The
Forum seats 5000 people and is per-
fectly appointed with rest rooms and
other conveniences. 1t is connected
with all the other buildings of the eX-
position and the admission price Of
twenty-five cents permits one to see
the Hippodrome show and roam over
several blocks of exhibits and enter
taihnent features.

With Congress appropriating the
staggering sum of $64O, 100000 for the
purchase of airplanes, the conviction
is borne in upon the American people
that the war is to be won in the air.
The feats of warplanes, therefore,
becomes the most fascinating of all
studies. In order that the Kansas

RINGERS" FOR NOTED MEN

patch. For instance, there is a
waiter at one Of the Fifth avenue ho-
tells who is frequently mistaken for
Champ Clark, speaker Of the house
of representatives. Across the street
from the hotel is footman who is
employed by a department store, who
resembles Chauncey N. Depew so
much that passers-by often stop and
take a second glance to convince
themselves that it is not the we'll
known "peach," as the Bowery
termed the after-dinner speaker.
And on the McAlpin hotel roof
waiter who is a ringer" for Oscar,
the well-known maitre d'hotel, was
mistaken for the "real'' person.
"Why, good evening, Oscar" said
visitor who was entertaining some
friends at dinner. al had no idea
you were here now" eyes, for sew
eral years, sir" was the reply. The
visitor then saw his mistake. "You
are a dead ringer for Oscar
Tsehirky; did anyone ever tell you?'
"Yes, sir; quite often" answered the
waiter. "My name is Oscar, also
Oscar Schmidt. But / haven't
reached the prominence of the other
Oscar-yet."
