BUILDING COST
WILL RISE WITH
FREIGHT RATES
Prominent Realtor Advises
Prospective Home Buyers
To , Buy Before
Increase."
Increase of freight rates will raise
the cost of building in Omaha, ac
cording to Charles W. Martin, real
tor, who developed the Minne Lusa
addition and built the majority of the
homes in that district.
Mr. Martin believes that the freight
rate situation, combined with the new
costs of developing property, make
it desirable for prospective home
buyers not to wait to make their
purchase. , In advising the purchase
of homes in additions now developed,
Mr. Martin says:
"Making new subdivisions costs
three to four times as much as it did
in 1914.
"Grading, which cost 10 to 16
cents, now costs 40 to 70 cents and
water mains that cost SO cents per
lineal foot are now near the $2 mark.
"1-mall sewer mains which had a
minimum cost of 60 cents in 1914
now cost $1.
"Sidewalks which cost 10 cents in
1914 now cost 25 cents.
"Paving which cost $1.50 per vard
in 1914 now is $a to $0.9U per vara.
Transaction Indicates
Property Stability Here
Realtors are interested in the fact
that a downtown property owner
last week refused two cash offers,
one for $57,500 and the other for
$190,000, after having advanced the
total price $60,000.
The owner, according to the agent,
A. P. Tukey & Son. two weeks ago
raised his price $15,500 on the small
er property and $44,500 on the
larger.
Realtor! say this is a good indi
cation of the stability of Omaha
business property.

Time:" 192$.
Place: Any Nebraska farm.
Farmer (to his son): Well, Bill,
there won't be much to do for a
week, youd better Jake the little
plane and fly over to the coast for
a swim. Do you good.
Son (languidly): All' right dad,
but how'll mother get in to Omaha
for the movies while I'm gone. She
can't fly the big plane, you know.
Farmer: Oh, I'll have James, the
hired man, fly the big plane in when
she wants to go. Or she can go in
with me on the freight plane. I
want to bring some supplies out.
Bill's mother, who's been listen
ing, interrupts impatiently; I don't
see why you don't buy a small air
plane for Jennie and I, John. You
know how Jennie wants to get home
over Sunday from Wellesley. All
the Nebraska girls going to Well
esley have their own planes and
come home for week-ends.
Farmer (hastily): All right Min,
we've been arguing that question
for a year, and you know how I
feel about it. If the family plane
isn't good enough for you and Jen
nie, I suppose I'll have to get you
another pne though. I can't stand
this eternal wrangling.
'And It May Be.
BiIl (yawning): Guess I might as
well get started if I'm going to take
a dip in the III old Pacific tonisht.

Absurd, you say, but is it?
Aviation is proeressinsr more
rapidly than ever before. And Ne
braska with its central location, is
easily in the front line of the ad
vancement. For example:
VJien business men of Harlan,
Neb., 60 miles from Omaha, want to
make quick- business trips here, they
call for Lcroy Broderson. Mr. Bro
derson is pilot of the passcneer-
carrying airplane owned by C. E.
HtUsebus. He brings them in at a
mile and a half a minute, covering
the distance usually in about 45 min
utes. The same trip by train would
require about two and a half hours.
and lacks the enjoyable features
which, the business men say they ex
perience on the plane.
beveral months ago the Highland
Grain company of Grand Island,
Neb., was unable to arrange for the
routing of several hundred carloads
of grain as the result of a storm
which destroyed telephone and tele
graph connections.
Business Men Fly.
The company had many contracts
to rill before emergency freight rates,
made on account of conditions
brought on by the severe drouth of
the preceding season, were discon
tinued by the railroads on April 1.
Ihe storm occurred on March 29,
leaving the company without means
of notifying its trade as to billing.
Unable to use the mails because of
lack of time, J. H. Highland, man
ager and owner of the company,
chartered an airplane from the
Grand Islaud Aero company, and
Filot liarie Karnes, accompanied by
W. M. Woodhead of the grain com
pany, started out on a 500-mile trip
by air. TKcy' visited all points in
Nebraska fr&m which they had grain
lo be moved! gave instructions as to
shipping and. as a result were able to
fulfill every Contract prior to the ex
piration of the drouth rate.
A wild night of fancy, perhaps, the
rural scene of 1925, the departure
of the farmer's son by air for a bath
in the Pacific and the demand of the
farmer's wife for a plane of her own
but read on. Here are facts about
aviation in Nebraska that would
make Jules Verne turn green with
envy.
The Flying Physician.
Harry Hiles owns four ranches, to
taling an area of several thousand
acres, most ot winch lay in trie
Platte river valley. His home ranch
is six miles south of Gothenburg,
Neb.
Mr. Hiles owns two airplanes.
One is a single seater. which he uses
to fly from one ot his ranches to
another. Bv using this plane he is
able to "hop" from one ranch to
another m a few minutes, thus sav
ing hours each day which he would
otherwise spend in making the trip
by team or automobile.
"The other a larger plane, is for
family use, and it is not uncommon
to see the Hiles family joyriding
about in the air on quiet Sundays.
Then there is Dr. F. B. Brewster.
the "flying physician" of Beaver City.
Neb., who frequently makes calls

in a "ship" purchased from the Grand
Island Aerc company.
Hunts Ducks, Too.
. Dr. Brewster has made many
long flights - on "life and death"
cases, often arriving by air' in time
to save a case that might otherwise
have been lost, it is said.
Incidentally the doctor become an
enthusiast of aviation, and is now
interested with Warren B. Kite in
the Brewster-Kite Aero company,
which has flying fields at McCook
and Beaver City. The company
has three ships in action at all times,
according to reports.
Two of the more important Ne-
PILOT in PLANfc yWNCUo
braska companies which are manu
facturing planes are, the Nebraska
Aircraft corporation of Lincoln and
the Ashmusen Manufacturing com
pany of Omaha. The former com
pany has purchased the Standard
Airplane factory of Elizabeth, N. J.
It is organized with a paid up capi
tal stock of $750,000 and has tem
porary headquarters on the state fair
grounds.
Rector E. Searle of Ogallala, Neb.,
has been arousing the , countryside
with stunt flights in his Curtiss J-N-R
plane. One of his "tricks" is to
run down flocks of wild ducks which
are plentiful in the sand hill district
He has taken Dr. E. P. Murdock and
Dr. E. Ardiel on a number of hurried
calls.
Even the smaller Nebraska towns
are becoming accustomed to avia
tion. Their inhabitants cast a glance
skyward, perhaps, when the roar of a
plane disturbs the rural calm, then
resume their various occupations.
As for Nebraska's metropolis
well, it s simply tedup on aviation
with the arrival and departure of air
mail each day to and from Chicago,
and the frequent arrival of planes
on Ak-Sar-Ben field from all parts
ot the country a mere airplane is as
ordinary as a Ford automobile.

Omaha Woman Views
World-Famous Painting
A beautiful woman, made eternally
young by De Vinci in the 15th cen
tury and named "La Belle Ferron
nierre," which jvas the nane of the
artist's sweetheart, has come to
America to stay.
The painting is owned by Conrad
Hug. formerly of the Hospe art shop
of Omaha, who now lives in Kansas
City. After much dispute La Belle
has at last been acknowledged by the
art critics as being from the brush
of the painter of the -"Mona Lisa"
and "The Lord's Supper."
Mrs. Bertha Getzschman, who
viewed the painting last week, was
the first Omahan to see the original
in America.
Reveals, War Romance.
"The colors have been little
dimmed throughout the centuries
and the same beautiful shadings are
in the painting as when it was first
completed," she said.
A war romance of the late war was
responsible for the bringing of the
painting to America.
Miss Andre Lardoux of Paris, a
member of the old family of Cha'-
tcaubriand, in whose hands the
painting has been continuously, mar
ried an American aviator, H. J.
Hahn, and came to live with him in
Junction City, Kan.
She told him of her heritage of an
old picture which was to be sold be
cause of the decline of the family
fortunes brought about by the war.
Mr. Hug learned of the picture
and sent to Europe for it. "La
Belle" came to America in a paste
board box.

Answers to Last Week's Questions.
1. In order that the proportions of
a fireplace be correct the opening
should contain exactly 10 times the
number of square inches as the
flue, in order to insure proper work
ing. To acertain this correctly,
multiply, the inside dimensions of
the flue and then make the fireplace
opening (similarly multiplied) exact
ly 10 times as large.
2. Fireplaces smoke most frequent
ly (1) because the chimney is not
high, enough, in which case an ad
dition of brick' or tile should be built;
or (2) because the throat leading to
the flue is set too far back. This
throat should be set as near the front
opening as possible in order that the
draft may pull the smoke upward
and out. Sniokine also may be
caused bv improper proportions
which may be remedied by enlarging
or lesseninar the opening into the
room as per answer 1 above.
3. An ideal basement arrangement
is to have all the working parts on
one side, leaving an entire half, or
nearly so, free for use as a children's
playroom, a billiard room or a place
to dry clothes. If this'open space
is left beneath the living room the
chimney may be made to accommo
date another flue tor a fireplace in
the basement room. This arrange
ment, of course, can not be followed
if the heating apparatus is-'hot air,
which must be placed as near to the
middle of the basement as possible.
. 4 Hot air heating has the ad
vantage of better ventilation and
quicker response when immediate
heat is wanted but the heat is likely
to travel with the wind and leave
some parts of the house "cold. Hot
water is lowest but stays hot long
est, and requires less fuel, but is
the most expensive ta install. Steam
is very hot but dies down quickly,
while having the advantage that the
water level in the boiler may bt
drawn down and quick heat gotten
up. Vapor heat has all the advan-
-r .:.t. -J.I.J
that the neat mannests nsen in me
rooms more quickly. Vapor and
steam are less expensive to install
than hot water and with either the
radiators in bedrooms may be tuNied
completely off i cold weather, which
can not be done with hot water be
cause of likelihood of freezing. Hot
air is cheapest of all to install. Many
home owners recommend the pipe
less hot air furnace for cheapness of
installation and good results.
5 Of course the best lighting for
the living room is indirect. The next
is semi-indirect. For the living room
both well shaded sidelights and one
or two ceiling fixtures (depending
upon the room's size) are rec
ommended. Use the utmost care to
avoid glare but at the same time do
not skimp on the amount of light
it's a poor sort of economy.
6 Every house should be built
with the idea of its saleability as
well as its use for the family build
ing it. For that reason every house,

have a pantry since "most families
nowadays demand it.
7 A combination gas and coal
range in the kitchen will be found
useful to help heat the house in
winter. Electric ranges are ideal for
quickness and cleanliness.
8. In these days of good portable
electric vacuum cleaners it is not
necessary to go to the expense of
installing a vacuum cleaning system
in the house. Unless the water
pressure is of the best and depend
able, it is especially well to avoid
that kind of cleaner if the owner
does decide to install the system.
9. There can not be too many
base plugs for electrical connection,
generally speaking. Each large liv
ing room should have at least four
(half a dozen would be better) for
floor and table lamp connections:
each dining room should have two
to four base plugs and the kitchen
at least two (for the iron and cook
ing apparatus fan) and all other
rooms of ordinary size should have
one or two; larger rooms two to
four base plugs. .
JO. If possible, tne garage should
be so located that in driving the car
out it may be turned so as to come
out of the premises forward. Such
a drive means hardl any apprc?
ciable additional expense.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS.
1. Is a bungalow or full two-story
house more advisable when two
floors are desired and why?
2. What material is most advis
able for the exterior?
3. Where should the sunroom be
located?
4. Is a lot without trees advisable
to build the home on?
5. Of what material should the
driveway be made?
6. Should a house be weather-stripped?
