B GEORGR H. ALWINB.
All through tb tread oi human
culture, through scientific progress
from the itont age until, the present
time, ventilation an d its relation to
health and happiness has not, been
adeauatcly comprehended.
' With relatively . few exceptions
after hiving listened to treatise on
the importance of ventilation in
home, office or shop, . man will
invariably remark - now good . his
Health has been under present ar
rantements.
When mankind lived in caves, the
smoke of the domestic hearth fire
was more than even their eyes and
lungs could bear, so that the cave
man and his family were compelled
to live much of their lives on the
ledge outside their refuge.
, No Smoke Outlet
When the first attempt at a house,
a frame of boughs covered with clay
and sod, came, the. lack of ventila
tion was a curse, for they built the
fire in the center of the floor and
there was no outlet for the smoke
except through the low doorway.
In the day a of the Vikings, the
. .1-- . j j : j
one rose 10 inc renci wu aiau-
m lv tilled the room until tney
thought to cut a hole up tn the cen
ter of the roof, through which some
of it escaped.
The chimney came . later -very
much later. . We find in the 12th
century that in Norway some genius
conceived this simple basic idea of
ventilating and built a flue over his
hearth fire to collect the offendufg
smoke right at its source and carry
it away.'
The chimney was unknown to the
ancients, neither Greece nor Rome
nor the old culture of the esst had
' ever done better than install n
open grating in the roof. . The
chimney, a simple innovation, .how
ever, solved the problem .of smoke
disposal for all times. '
Fireplaces Gave Ventilation! ' ;
. Practically all the houses built in
the United States 70 years ago had
' large rooms, high eeuings and a fire
place in each room. This insured
for each room and every home Ven
tilation and yet the convenient ac
cessories in our bathroom of today
m-hich do require much ventilation
' and yet have little, if any. adequate
provisions made for - them?, were
then not quartered in the home.
It is surely a poor commentary on
modern home "building that with all
its conveniences and comforts, its
refinements and extravagances,
which have made possible the elimi
nation of the once necessary open
' fireplace, that modern designers have
failed to recognize that they have
also eliminated the ventilation in the
home.
So to speak, we have gone forward
attractiveness in design and com-
t but unconsciouslyr?"we 'have
stepped backward in, home ventila
tion sanitation, xoaay more man
ever before in our home the pan
cake, the sausage, the cauliflower,
the corned beef and cabbage, the
steak and', onions good, honest,
wholesome, - sensible and delicious
foods are socially ostracized. ,
' Fan h Kitchen Needed.
" The cooking of food does not now
give off any more unpleasant; odors
than it did. We notice it more
only because in modern home con
struction ventilation , has not . been
provided, which is why the odors
of cooking in the home are so very
noticeable in Advance and remain
so long after the food has 'been
Served.. ,:r-'V"V .y.v'H1:';
The fact that proper provision for
ventilation of modern, homes is not
made is responsible for the - early
dulling of the paint, the blacking
of walls and ceilings, the soiling of
the tapestries. The upkeep or re
decorating cost resulting because of
no adequate ventilation ' provisions
would in a short timS" pay for the
installation of a proper mechanical
exhaust pr ventilating fan.

Amos GranV realtor, last week m
a talk to the real estate board, said
that men who complain of business
conditions at the present time are
"on top of an artificial hill looking
down," and that they "are under the
influence of a period when business
came without much effort."
"That artificial hill." Mr. Grant
said, "is the 1919-20 hill, created by
artificial means, and has nothing to
do with the regular and normal
business conditions in ' which each
one of us has been trained.
"If any man who is ; complaining

"Men who complain now" are on
that artificial hill, looking down, and,
of "course, they don't like it. They

Norwegian ' Civil Engineer
Writes of "Vanished Lake"
Being Developed by
Payne Company.
' The land which the Payne Invest
ment company of Omaha is develop
ing in Albert Lea, Minn.,' is called
the vanished lake' in a long article
in the Literary Digest of June 3.
This article, which is in ihe science
and invention department of the
magazine, was -written by Dr. J. R,
Nannestad, a Norwegian civil en
sineer. ' ' ' -' ' "
George H. Payne, Omaha realtor,
and head of the Payne Investment
company, is given full credit for plan
ning and executing "th e vanished
lake" development. .,
Ttis lake, according to the Liter
ary Digest, originally covered Z7.UUU
acres of territory. Dr. Nannestad
says it became a swamp' "probably
less than 100" years ago, when a
sand dune separated it from Lake
Geneva. : '
Dr. Nannestad says the land which
the Payne Investment Company is
now developing - Vin its original
splendor was a beautiful expanse of
water. It ranked in class with such
lakes as Minnetonka and Cass. It
was never very deep, but in stormy
weather it rolled with-- big, heavy
waves and it swarmed with .fish;"
The .Payne company is, developing
14,000 acres of this "vanished lake"
territory and now has $,000 under
cultivation. " "
Dr.-Nannestad writes further: "It
will not be long before the whole
marsh will be transferred into beau
tiful farms into homes. By that
time 'the vanished lake will have
served its purpose. It will have fin
ished its life's cycle. Once more it
will be dry land, as it used to be be
fore the ice made it into a lake. And,
where the fishes swam and the bil
lows roared the farmer now plows
his, field. 'The vanished lake' lives
in memory only." -

.Coal Freight Rate Hearing
C, E. Childe and H. D. Bergen of

Chamber of Commerce .will attend
hearing in Kansas City Monday
on the proposal of a 20-cent reduction
per ton on freight rates for coal from
Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma to
Omaha. '.."--' ' . ;
The Frisco, Missouri Pacific and
Kansas City Southern railroads' pe
tition fot'thiS reduction, effective test
April 17, was suspended on .charges
of Illinois coal operators and the
Wabash that such a reduction would
be unfair to Illinois.
The cut would mean a saving . of
$100,000 yearly in freight rates on
coal alone, according to Childe, who
savs Omaha's coal freight rate bill
is $4,000,000 per year.

Subsidy Means
Salvation on
Sea, Says Lasker
President Proposes Series of
Acts to Put U.S. Shipping
on Same Basis With
England.
By A. D. LASKER.
AMICUS S.
One of the ireatest problems the
present administration faced at its
inception was tne nexeeiiiy, aa cov
ered by previous articles, for liquida
ting the government-ownta nret so
that it should pass into privste hands,
end the loss of government operation.
cause the creation of a privately-owned-fleet
that would be rightly
balanced for war and peacetime
needs, and insure at the same time
that the art of shipbuilding in Amer
ica be kept alive in face of the 10
year naval holiday.
The difficulties under which we
operate are due to our higher stan
dards of living: who among us
would have them different? But,
with higher cost of building, with
hisher cost of wages aboard the
ships, with higher cost of operations
on shore, with generations of es
tablished competing businesses of
competing countries to meet and
overcome, no private enterprise can
$ ten .in the breach and sustain the
losses while we are getting the vol
ume that in turn will equalize us
with the rest of the world.
Would Equal Great Britain.
So the president has proposed to
the congress the enactment of a ser
ies of aids that will put American
shippers on the same basis with
Great Britain, where costs are next
highest to ours; feeling that if we
put ourselves on a parity with Bri
tain, the ingenuity of America will
conquer the other obstacles.
The bill proposes direct aids to
ships in the form of a cash subsidy,
which, it is estimated, if we should
ultimately develop . the , 7,500,000
gross .tons needed to carry half
of the overseas trade of America,
will cost the treasury approximate
ly $30,000,000. Should we reach
that point the losses of $50,000,000
per annum now incurred in the op
eration of the shipping board would
long before have ended, because
the shipping board would have been
out of business and a vaster number
of our ships would be on the seas.
In addition, the bill proposes cer
tain indirect aids, one of the chief
being a deduction from income tax
equal to 5 per cent of the moneys
paid in freights. The purpose of
this provision is to insure fuller
cargoes.'- '
Huge Loan It Proposed.
The bill proposes a loan fund of
$125,000,000 at 2 per cent minimum
interest to aid those who would build
types of ships we still need, With-
out the passage of the proposed bill

Boys of the "Y"
You Should Know
Among: the "Y" boys is Jack
Crary,' who has earned a place of
leadership in the masfy activities of
the Boys' division program of the
past season,' "' t -
In all special programs and- fea
tures, Jack has given unselfish serv
ice. He always can 1 be depended
upon and his help has meant much
to the success of the winter's activ
ities. Jack attended the Junior Hi "Y"
club and helped in its program dur
ing the season. In the summer time
Jack is most often , found on the
waters of Carter lake canoeing, fish
ing or swimming. ; He is an outdoor
boy. ,. '--
He attends Central hieh school, is
a member of the cadet regiment and
is with it this week in the annual
encampment at Valley. Neb. Tack is
the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Crary, bpencer street. y
"Y Tent Is Popular .
v Place With Cadets
The Y. M. C A. tent is the-most
popular place .at the Central High
school cadet camp at - Valley, Neb.,
where 400 boys are spending 10
days. E. E. Micklewright, boys'
work secretary of the Y. M. C A.,
is in charge of the "Y" activities in
the camp. . He is assisted by Harold
Stribling, - football and baseball
captain elect. t .
Magazines, writing " materials,
books, music, volley ball, horse
shoes, checkers and chess, are a few
of the things that the .':Y" has for
the boys. Last year the cadets used
5.000 sheets of writing paper , and a
like number of envelopes, all . fur
nished by the "Y." The "Y" also
furnished the boys 500 sample boxes
of salve for their sunburn and has
a large supply again this year; also
tooth paste for those who didn't take
any to camp. ,-
, Every evening an hour's movie en
tertainment is provided by thg "Y"
and this feature, the art of Ship
building in America will wither nd
die. The late wsr shows the pen
alty $ will be obliged to pay it we
permit this art to be Inn Ut war
time needs.
The drsirsble tonnage owned by
th shipping board under the pro
posed bill will be disposed of at
world market prices to American
buyers. To the extent, therefore,
the board can furnish ships,' the
owners will escape the handicap
that would otherwise inure against
them en account of initial high cost
Today it is impossible for the
government to sell any of its ships. It
should be emphasized that it is the
administrations hope that, with the
subsidy and indirect aid of ships
which it proposes, we will be able
to begin selling our ships, to that
the ships, instead of being a dead
asset, costing the government for
tune to maintain and operate, will
be turned into cash that will find
its way back into the treasury.
WUI Offset Subsidy Cost t
The government believes that in
addition to the vast sums that' will
come to the treasury through the
sale of the ships (which it feels can
not be sold without this legisla
tion), the curtailment of operating
loss will more than offset the subsidy
charge.
Thus, whether from the stand
point of decreasing taxation or from
the standpoint of establishing an
American merchant marine, the rea
sons for the need of the legislation
asked are compelling. . - '
it is proposed that 50 per cent ot
all immigrant traffic come in Ameri
can flag ships. This provision alone
will insure a volume of business in
the north Atlantic that should give
us a large growth in our third-class
passenger business. If such a law
had been in force when immigration
was at its height a few years ago, we
would have had, when we entered
the world war, without cost to the
treasury, a respectable passenger
fleet under the American flag plying
between our shores and Europe.
It is contemplated that, the oresi-
dent will declare the Philippines
coastwise, thus giving American flag
ships exclusively the benefit of the
commerce between the shores of
our large Pacific possession and our
homeland. '','..
Studying Port Facilities.
Section 28 of the present merchant
marine law provides for through pref
erential rates on American railroads
for goods shipped abroad via Amer
ican flag bottoms when adequate fa
cilities shall exist. A committee of
the shipping board is now visiting the
ports of the country to ascertain
whether or not those adequate facil
ities exist. ' -
The bill proposes that, when prooer
facilities exist, the president may end
the army and navy transport, con
tracting for our military transport
ation with privately owned ships, in
suring thereby a merchant marine
trained for war expansion in time of
emergency.
Looking forward to closer coordin
ation between rail and water trans
portationa basic essential toward
the expansion of our trade the bill

How Help la Figured Out
The subsidy to be paid our ships Is
computed on differential based on
combination of speed, size, and dis
tance covered, thereby encouraging
the building of fleet that shall be
balanced for peace and wartime pur
notes alike.
The basic subsidy provides that
every vessel of the United States
entitled to direct aid shall receive
sum equsl to one-half a cent per
gross ton for each 100 miles covered
and increases with each knot, until
at 2J knots and over the ship shall
receive 2.6 cents per gross ton.
In the discretion of the shipping
board, where essential lines are
needed and the subsidy proposed In
the bill is not sufficient, a subsidy
up to double the amount provided
for in the law may be allowed. .
Into the subsidy fund are to be
paid such tonnsge dues at are col
lected. These duet are to be dou
bled. .
Mailt Carried Otherwise. -
No ships getting the subsidy are
to be paid for carrying the mails;
the compensation they -would cus
tomarily receive will go to the sub
sidy fund.
The subsidy fund is to be de
rived by reserving JO per cent of the
moneys collected tn duties as a re
volving fund.
A limitation of profits is proposed
by the government which, while on
the one hand forbidding profiteer-
ling, on the other hand insures no
diminution in the inspiration ot ini
tiative and the consequent attraction
of the necessary capital.
This is accomplished by a proviso
that after a ship has earned 10 per
cent on its capital half of the earn
ings shall be returned to the mer
chant marine ' fund until the full
amount of the subsidy shall have
been repaid. After that the ship
keeps all the excess earnings.
States Hit Conclusions.
In these articlea I have undertaken
to sketch briefly the history of Amer
ica's rise and decline on the sea and
the renewed need, for war and peace
time purposes, of control of our own
sea carriage; and in behalf of the ad
ministration I affirm .its belief that
the legislation it proposes to congress
will, at a minimum of cost, accom
plish these "purposes and automati
cally end the great loss now incurred
in the operation of the government
owned fleet.
If any have a better program to
offer, the government, with an open
mind, will be glad to consider it If
no one has a better program to of
fer, then there are but two alter
natives either adopt .the president's
proposals or continue the inefficiency
and loss of government operation.
No, there is still another alter
native end the government'a opera
tion and make arrangements to sell
the fleet abroad or scrap it. If this
later, alternative were, ordered by
congress, there is no doubt, to my
mind, that within only a few weeks
all America would realize the utter
necessity of its merchant marine for
its needs, and a unanimous cry would
go up demanding '.; of the congress
