library could supply reading material.
In the evening the grounds would be
gently, very gently lighted by the re-
Election from the battery of spotlights
supposed to illuminate the dome.
Transportation could be saved, or
shoe leather preserved because the
grounds are close to the center Of the
city's business activity.
The housing situation here has be-
come so acute that one man is con-
sidering forming a tent corporation to
encourage people to adopt the habit
of living in tents. He advocates either
tents. wall tents. or tent houses. A
vision of erecting them in hundreds
obsesses his mind.
1t is pointed out that the excessive
ly high cost of building, now deter
ring so many persons from erecting
homes. would not act so strongly
against the tent idea. The idea might
not endure as a permanent feature but
there are many persons in Topeka who
believe they could be interested in tent
life thruout the summer, provided II
continued impossible for them to find
a suitable place to live.
