FRELING & STEINLE Baggage Builders Here for 17 Years 1803 Farnam Street Farm Efficiency Is Specialty of Danes, Consul Here Declares j Nebraska Contains 2o,000 of First ami Second Gener ations, Frank V. Lawson Says. "Yes, I'm married, If that has any thing to do with it." A rather light complexloned and young appearing man leaned back in his chair at the headquarters of the Danish Brother hood at !*28 Omaha National hank building and laughed heartily. The center of good cheer was Frank V. Dawson, Danish vice consul for Ne braska and national secretary of the Danish Brotherhood in America. But whether that had “anything to do with It" or not remains unsolved. At any rate, he showed that he had retained a sense of humor and was well Informed on a wide range of topics in spits of his marilal bless ings. "Why, I should judge that there were about 10,000 of the first ami second generations of Danes here in Omaha,” he said in answer to the customary opening question. "In all Nebraska there are nearly 25,000. As for the number In the whole United States—the official figures of that are kept only in Washington. Though there must' be at least three-quarters of a million, perhaps a million, in this country," he added. Majority Are Farmers. "Many of these people make their living from the farms here,” he said. "For Denmark itself Is almost entire ly a farming and dairy country. In Denmark there are perhaps 3,000.000 people, not quite the population of Norway, which has a much greater area. On that account every Inch of soil Is carefully tilled. The Danes have a well developed system of co operative marketing, through which they Invariably command the highest prices for their butter, eggs and other produce. According to Mr. Dawson, Denmark Is practically dependent on the bene fits of this marketing system for its successful sustenance, as there Is very little manufacturing there. There is no coal or Iron ore In the ground, and most of the wood Is Imported for use In the scattered manufacturing plants. Most of Denmark's manufac turing plants are assembling estab liahments. "There Is a fair immigration of Danes to Amreica," he declared. “Dast. | J'tfhk. V LjuJsott~ ~| fiscal year (he quota was !*3 per cent filled. "But when Russia opens up many will flock there—for the agri cultural opportunities. For many years past “the two countries have been on good terms. The Danes have been Imported by the, Russia ns to es tablish creameries to show them how to obtain the best results In agri culture.” War Damage Slight. Mr. Lawson said that Denmark was not hard hit by the world war. “Of course, the crown, which was valued formerly at 3 1 2 for a dollar, Is now quoted at one fifth of a dollar,” he said. “For that reason the lnhey tances passing between Denmark and the United States are about equal where there would be a slight sur plus coming i>ver from the other side of the ocean." He expressed his con fidence In the ability of Denmark to attain its pre-war status with ease. "Although many of the Danes com ing over to America take to the farms, quite a few choose urban sur roundings,” he declared. "Most of those who settle In the cities follow the trades. A great majority are skilled mechanics. Yes, quite a few go into business,” lie answered an other querv, "These businesses are greatly diver sified,” continued Mr. Lawson. “We have Mr. P. F. Petersen of Petersen ft Pegau Bakin* company. Mr. 6. A. Corneer of the coal business. Mr. Emil M. F. Eeflang In real estate and Mr. I. Slbherman In the investment line. Besides, the Danish Pioneer, published weekly In Omaha, Is the largest Danish paper In the world outside of Denmark, and few larger ones even there.” Has Oldest Flag. "Denmark also has the oldest flag,” he said. ""The design has not been changed for over 700 years, even longer than In the case of thetUnlted Htates which Is second, although tt Is a comparatively young country. Den mark has the lowest percentage of il literacy of any country In the world, Including the United Htates, for the lack of ability to read and write, es pecially in the south, brings down the average of this nation. I»enmark is very democratically represented. Al though it has a king, he Is less power ful than the president of the United States.” "Well, I don't know if there's much to say,” he answered when asked for his life story. Mr. Eawson Is of Danish birth. He came to this country abo^t 20 years ago after preliminary training In the land of his birth. He explained the perfect pronunciation and fluency of his English by stating that he was ed ucated largely In America. "We stayed In Massachusetts and the east about five years hefdre coming here,” he said. "I studied and received my commercial education there. Then we came to Omaha, where we've stayed for the last 16 years. I re ceived my legal training here at the University of Omaha.” Besides caring for his consular [duties. Mr I,a«son pursues ths pi*S I tire of law from his headquarters [!>2S Omaha National Bank buildup He Is also national secretary of tlS American Danish Brotherhood. When Men Fail. Warrenton.
