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, Mimi, is called
the vanished lake" in long article
in the Literary Digest of June 8.
This article, which is in the science
and invention department Of the
magazine, was written by DR.. ]. R.
Nannestad, a Norwegian civil en-
gineer.
George H. Payne, Omaha realtor,
and head of the Payne Investment
company, is given full credit for plan
ming and executing "th e vanished
lake" development.
T.:s lake, according to the Liter
ary Digest, originally covered $4,000
acres of territory. DR.. Nannestad
says it became a swamp probably
less than 100 years ago." when q
sand dune separated it from Lake
Geneva.
DR.. Nannestad says the land which
the Payne Investment company is
now developing Tin its original
splendor was beautiful expanse Of
water. It ranked in class with such
lakes as Minnetonka and Cass. 1t
was never very deep, but in stormy
weather it rolled with, big, heavy
waves and it swarmed with fish"
The Payne company is developing
$4,000 acres Of this vanished lake"
territory and now has 5000 under
cultivation.
Dr.. Nannestad writes further: 1T
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 lake. And,
where the fishes swan and the bill
lows roared the farmer now plows
his field. The vanished lake lives
in memory only"

the renewed need, for war and peace

sea carriage; and in behalf Of the ad-
ministration ! affirm its belief that
the legislation il proposes to congress
will, at 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 q better program to
offer, the government, with an open
mind, will be glad to consider it. If
no one has better program to Of
fer. then there are but two alter
natives-either adopt the presidents
proposals or continue the inefficiency
and loss of government operation.
No, there is still another alter
native-end the governments opera
ton 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 few weeks
all America would realize the utter
necessity of its merchant marine for
its needs, and unanimous cry would
go up demanding Of the congress

Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma to

tition for this reduction, effective Last
April II, was suspended on charges
of Illinois coal operators and the
Wabash that such reduction would
be unfair to Illinois.
The cut would mean saving of

The government believes that In
addition to the vast sums that will
come to the treasury through the
sale OF the ships (Which il feels can
not be sold without this legisla-
tion), the curtailmcnt OF operating

Thus. whether from the stand.

sons for the need OF the legislation
asked are compelling.

Good Ventilation

Engineer Points Out Need Of

By GEORGE H. ALWyNE

0y S2S~SS Sc ~4 w AsNS
All through the trend Of human
culture, through scientific progress
from the stone age until the present
time, ventilation an d its relation "a
health and happiness has not been
adequately comprehended.
With relatively few exceptions
after hsving listened to . treatise on
the importance OF ventilation ID
home. Office or shop, . man will
invariably remark how good his
health has been under present A.
yangements.
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 . house,
. frame OF boughs covered with clay
and sod, came, the lack of ventila.
ton 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 days OF the Vikings, the
Ittnoke rose to the rafters and grad
ually filled the room until they
thought to cut hole up in the cen
ter Of the roof. through which some
OF il escaped.
The chimney came later-yery
much later. We find in the 18th
century that in Norway some genius
conceived this simple basic idea OF
ventilating and built 4 flue over his
hearth fire to collect the offendiAg
smoke right at its source and carry
it away.
The chimney was unknown to the
anciehts. neither Greece nor Rome
nor the old culture Of the east had
ever done better than install sn
open grating in the roof. The
chimney, simple innovation, how
ever, solved the problem of smoke
disposal for all times.
Fiseplaees Gave Ventilation.
Practically all the houses built in
the United States 20 years ago had
large rooms, high ceilings and a fire.

for each room and every home ven
tilation and yet the convenient ac-
eessories in our bathroom of today
which do require much ventilation
and yet have little, If any, adequate
provisions made for them, were
then not quartered in the home.
II is surely . poor commentary on
modern home building that with al
its convcniences 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
10 attraetiveness in design and COM
.5rt but unconsciously we have
stepped backward in home ventila-
ton sanitation. Today more than
ever before in our home-the pam
cake, the sausage, the cauliflower, |
the corned beef and cabbage, the
steak and onions-good, honest,
wholesome, sensible and delicious
foods are socially ostraeized.
