CAIN IN BUILDING
More Than S1,65O,0OO In New
Construction In 1920.
But Topeka Promises q Much
Better Record For 1921.

Property values in Topeka increased
at least S1,657,794 in 1920, it is indi-
Gated by summary of the cost of
new construction on the records of the
city fire marshal where building per-
mits are issued. The money was to
be spent for new homes, new business
buildings, additions and repairs, gar
ages and relocations.
The building total for 1920 exceed
ed that of 1919 by s224,749. In 1920
there were 512 permits issued and in
1919 there were ass.
Homes for motor cars were built in
by far larger numbers in Topeka than
homes for citizens in 1920. OF the
512 permits for construction in 1920,
nearly half. or 235, were for garages.
The remaining 277 permits included
many for additions and repairs and
for relocation as well as for both new
houses and new business places. The
total the permits represent to be ex-
pended in the year for garage con-
struction is $59.793.- The garages
would average a cost of more than
5000 each.
A total of all new buildings. which
permits show for 1920 excepting gar
ages, is only los. For new construc-
ton, excluding garage costs. additions
and repairs, S1.172,3S0 was to be
spent. Thirty-two more permits for
garages were issued in 1920 than in
1919 with the total report for 1919
at 203.
High cost of building materials and
labor held down the totals. For 1921
it is predicted that the records of the
last five years will be shattered.

All Government Machinery at
Washington Pauses Today.
Everything Except White House
Reception Normal at Capital.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The govern
ment machinery in Washington
paused today to greet the incoming
year. Despite elimination of the GUS
tomary White House reception due to
President Wilson's illness, other fea-
lures of the New Years day observ-
ance in official circles promised to
restore much of the colorfulness of
the occasion of pre-war years.
Instead of the customary reception
rendered them at the White House,
members of the diplomatic corps were
invited to a reception at the home of
acting Secretary Davis of the state de-
president to act in his stead Besides
informal receptions by other cabinet
officers. Secretaries Baker and Daniels
arranged to hold open house today to
receive New Years calls from the pub
lie at large, as we'll as officers of
the army, navy and marine CORPS and
their families.
Altho the House, in its desire to
speed up work on application bills
broke an age-old precedent by remain
ing in session on the day before New
Years, both houses of congress had
laid aside work today to join in the OBJ
servance. All government depart
ments began their New Years holiday
yesterday when they remained open
only half a day
The men of the navy. whether aflo1t
or ashore, were extended New Years S
greetings by Secretary Daniels, in a
message flashed from the great wire

families of the older states of the
Union enjoyed quiet Holiday as each
year came around. They feasted, but
not until they had attended religious
services. In the nineteenth century
people with big houses and flowing
sideboards held open house on New
Years Day and from all over friends
came afoot, on bicycles and in sur
reys and stanhcpes to pay short visits
and sample the contents of wine Gel
lars. Then they went off to call on
other friends.

In the cities on New Years Eve.
Has Always Been Noisy.
For twenty-five years up to the
dawn of 1920 and the era of wartime
prohibition, the celebration in New
York became -noisier and more -expen-
sive each year. Thousands used to
crowd into places of merrimeDt while
Broadway was packed with a surging
throng of merryInakers with squawk-
ers,. clappers, bells. ticklers and con-
fetti
Every hotel and most Of the restau-
rants were jammed with gay diners.
In 1908 it was estimated that .eo0.-
600 was spent in the white-iight dis
trict on New Years Eve. After that
statisticians gave up trying to figure
out the sum.
The din and probably the cost of
the celebration was q ~atly diminished
under wartime prohibition in the New
Years demonstration of 1920. Old
timers said all the ginger" had de-
parted with John Barleycorn.
The Cupid of 1921 will be the first
TO make his bow under constitutional
prohibition. In New York he will find
that times have changed.

Eight Hundred New York
Homeless Cared For.
Welcomed Into st. Marks by
Benevolent Minister.

New York, Jan. Flight hundred
homeless, and unemployed men started
the New Year by. sleeping in the pews
of one OF New York's most historic
ehurehes-St. Marks, in the Bowery-
early today. The men, part of crowd
of more THAI one thousand, met in a
Bowery hall on New Years eve, and
planned to break into the church fo..
the night S lodging if admittance was
refused them '<--
But when they approached the an
cient edifice in Second avenue they
found it brilliantly Illuminated and the
rector, DIR. VIM. Norman Guthrie,
waited for them, with an invitation to
come inside.
When the motley crowd had settled
IN the pews, Doctor Guthrie addressed
them, saying that while it would be
worse than a crime" to use church
Ior any except religious uses, no Chris
tan minister in his senses could re-
fuse to yield an emergency shelter.
May the churches do their. little"
ne said, ito show themselves worthy
| of the confidence of the friendless
and surely the community will not
compel the churches long to lend
themselves to such irregular uses"
Doctor Guthrie then told the men
he had made arrangements to give
them substantial breakfast. There
was no disorder and the men listened
with respectful attention to the
churchman's remarks.
