mountaineering Gains

Topeka is the first city in the
United States to take up the. nation
al movement recently organized in
Chicago to encourage remodeling and
modernization of old homes. The or
ganization is now practically COM
pleted, with approximately forty To-
peka business interests aligned with
the move, and plans are being made
for opening an Office with a demon-
stration room and with a competent
man in charge.
Building and loan companies OF the
country are watching the movement
in Topeka with interest because 1t
means halt in the unnecessary de-
struction of property Ind investments
when many old substantial homes
are torn down rather than moder
lied.
The plan is, to encourage the ~
ernization of old homes, not modern
according to present-day standards.
but which are of sound construction
and worthy of being remodeled. There
are said to be approximately 5000
such homes in Topeka.

Fire Danger Lessened
BY Brick Constructions

Fire safety is one of the most inn
portant considerations to the prospec-,
tive home builder. No other menace
to the average family is quite so great
or so pertinent. 1t is always pres
ent. And il the records Of the ma.
tion's fire losses In recent years is
any criterion this danger Is on the In
crease rather than on the decline.
The efficiency OF brick construction
as FIRE preventive is generally con-
ceded. In the case of Fall River,
Mass, last February, two common
brick fire walls were chiefly srespon-
sible for the stoppage of the progress
of the flames after they had swept
several blocks and inflicted a prop
erty damage Of something near $6.-
100000.
A few weeks earlier at Bay st.
Louis, La, similar fire, but not OF
such magnitude, was stopped effec-
lively just as 1t was entering the bus
mess section of the city, By the COM
mon brick firewall of a motion pic
ture theater building which fortunate

neighbor buildings. Here, too, the fire
had swept across an entire block.
famed by a strong gulf breeze.
The records of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters covering Pc
riod Of five years show that in that
period the average loss in brick dwell
lings, Including apartments and ten
ements where no part ci the build
ings were used for commercial pur-
poses, were just about ,ne-tentla as
great as that in frame dwellings, in
Guiding in this Classification all homes
veneered with material other than
wood.
With common brick construction SO
nearly on par with wood construc-
ton in the matter of cost, there is of
late decidedly noticeable tendency
on the part of home builders to give
greater consideration to fire safety.
More and more brick homes are be-
ing built.
