LEWIS HOMES
GROWING IN
FAVOR
Local Firm Stresses Co-opera-
ton With Home Builder
From Start To Finish

Mr.. Guy s. Zepp, manager OF the
Lewis Home Service reports that
they have at this time under con-
struction Lewis homes aggregating
. total cost of 100000. This rep
resents homes ranging in price all
the way from $1,000 up to $25. 900.
The average layman has little con-
Ception Of the vast amount of time
and labor required in working out
the architectural plans to meet the
ideas Of the individual and the
work required to provide practical
financial arrangement to meet the
needs Of the persons of small capita
and enable them to build the home
Of their desire. Mr.. Zepp has been
In the building business for num-
Der of years and has studied from
every angle the difficulty encoun-
tered by the average home builder,
he finds that during q period OF
five years he has had at least three
home builders who desired to build
a home and were able to build,
that fell by the wayside, and never
accomplished it for one that abso-
lutely went through with all the
details necessary to the erection OF
q modern home on a limited
amount of time ana capital. He
has worked twenty years devising
the best plan whereby a home
builder can get the proper co-opera.
ton from start to finish from the
time that he has applied for a
building loan and for the financing
up until the time that the last
piece Of sod is laid on his lawn.
In his efforts to overcome the many
obstacles that stand in the way Of
the home builder, he has devised
his Lewis Home Service. Based
upon the service rendered by the
Lewis Manufacturing Company in
furnishing plans and materials, and
not only that but beautiful book
illustrating clearly the types Of
homes to be built so that the lay
man can easily select the type Of
home he would like to build. The
Lewis cooperative plan is the re-
suit of his twenty years Of effort.
The success of his plans is appar-
ent. In addition to the hundreds of
Lewis homes built in this locality,
the following homes are now under
constructions:
At Mckinley street and Belt road
you will find the Winthrop special,
trimmed out and nearly finished.
At Thirty-second and Mckinley

The United States has under con-
sideration the question of raising
the status OF the Legation 81
Picking to that Of embassy, II was
learned today. At the same time
reports were received that Japan
had made necessary appropriations
to raise the Japanese Legation
there in rank, indicating that there
is q concerted consideration by the
principal powers to make the
FekinR post Of ambassado rial- rank.
The diplomatic corps at Picking -
4 UNIQUE "institutionD in diplomatic
affairs because Of the extra-terrt
torial jurisdiction foreign nations
have in China, but despite the I'm.
portance OF representation az
Picking all nations have sent only
minister's there. The corps has
been headed by doyen, the rank
ing minister, who at present hap
pens to be the Dutch minister, and
II is through him that the foreign
nations, usually In concert, have
communicated with the Picking gov
eminent.
Upon the resumption Of friendly
relations between China and So
Wet Russia, however, monkey
wrench was thrown into the diplo.
matte machinery by Russia ap
pointing an ambassador, M. Karak-
han, instead of a minister to the
post. M. Karakhan therefore. in
theory, outranks the representatives
Of all other nations which has
created an extremely embarrassing
situation.
Doctor Schurnan, the American
minister, who would in all proba-
bility be raised to the rank of
ambassador, should the proposal be
carried out, is now enroute to
Picking after spending his leave
in this country. 1t is not expected
that any definite action win be
taken until he has reached his
post.
A change of status in our. .ega

mean change in the Chinese Lee
cation in Washington, and Doctor
Sao-ke Alfred SEE, the Chinese
minister, would in all probability
be raised 20 the rank Of ambassa-
