And now, for the ninth consecutive time, we sit down to our typewriter to wish our friends o,f the lumber industry a peaceful and prosperous New Year, and to.express the well-worn hope that the depression will soon be over. Just how many more times do you suppose we will have to do that?

I get'quite a kick ou, olr*Ur"* back over our files, and reading the things we said, hoped, and predicted every Nsnr Year since that rnemorable fall of 1929. What a lousy prophet I am! And everyone else, too.

However, I find th"t ; ; :"-" very close guessing once in a while. For ins ance, in January, 1930, when the thing was just starting, I found myself writing: ,,And in 1930 man entered upon a period of world-wide depression, and he stayed there for a long, long time, for he was. AFRAID-AFRAID."

rF**

Yes, Sir ! He stayed there for nine years, and his AFRAIDNESS had more to do with it than anything else. I don't mean by that that he had no grounds for his fears. He had" He has.

And r ran upolr . *"i;, : lumber friend wrote me in 1933, at a time when the depression was so old that everyone thought it must certainly be over. The wish, of course, was father to the tho,ught, and we were judging the possible lmgth of THIS depression by the average time scope of many previous ones. F. L. Hillyer, a lumberman of San Antonio, Texas, and a man who does some remarkable thinking, wtote me at that time about the possible end of the trouble being at hand, as follows:

"When I talk to the ; jra:oman on the street they universally and: unanimously declare 'the depression is over.' They have no reason for their confidence, but feel happy in its possession. Only under the inspiration of faith (which I am not prepared or disposed to deny, but which I am not spiritually equipped to affirm) can the popular enthusiastic optimism have any meaning. perhaps the voice of the people IS the voice of God; perhaps He prefers to speak through the mouths of babes;

perhaps He gives to the illiterate, unseeing mind, powers of prescience and prophecy-a sixth sense-not to UNDERSTAND but to FEEL His will; to show that now as ever His disciples have been the lowly and humble. f say in no other way can this voice of the people haver any meaning. The prayer begins, 'Thy will be done,' and I see it as much in that spirit as my mind is capable of. But the mind is no bulwark o'f faith. That rests upon a basis of spiritudity which is peculiarly an American birthright, but which we have traded for a delusion of big business. And now, since that fails us, perhaps the way back is to rebuild the old spirituality."

r reprint those word" i ; rlrnu", friend, first because of their eloquence; sedond because he was so right in doubting that hoping the depression was over, would bring its end nearer; and third, because he sums the text of the whole thing up in his final sentence, "perhaps the way back is to rebuild the old spirituality."

**t<

Let us derive much happiness from the fact that, from a strictly lumber and building standpoint, conditions are much, much better today than they were on this date a year ago; and prospects for further improvement are likewise much brighter than they were then. Business con-

PAINT ASSOCIATION REPRINTS

JACK DIONNE EDITORIAL

In the December fifth issue of The Open Door, publication of the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, is reprinted the editorial, "Kindly Competition is Strictly Modern," from a recent issue of the GCL. The editorial occupies the entire outside back cover page.

Says Mr. R. W. Emerson, of the association: "We thought this ospecially fitting for the Christmas season. The Gulf Coast Lumberman and THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT are not only reacl from cover to cover in this office each two rveeks, but are also passed around in this organization.

"The writer feels that it is a great pity that, generally speaking, the circulation of your e.ditorials is limited to the lumber industry. Some leading rveekly magazines of National circulation should be glad to carry them."

fidence was at a mighty low ebb a year ago today, due to the 1937 "recession." (Uncle Dan Roper, Secretary of Commerce, referred to this situation in his last annual report as a "renewed depression," instead of a "recession," and see what happened to Uncle Dan.)

Beginning with early:;";, business and building conditions have improved very consistently during 1938. First, the dumping of new billions had a lot to do with it. The failure of the purge in politics, which had all thinking men scared just as they were during the attempted Supreme Court pack, brightened business visibly. The fall elections gave business a tremendous lift, renewing hope that the heel of politics on the throat of industry would surely be lightened if not lifted.

I believe the "pump nlttti"j' of the past six months helped the building business more than it did any other industry. Some wise man has truly said that "pump priming puts more goods on the shelves, but does not build more shelves." I think that well describes the situation. But much of the money that has gone into circulation has found its way into the pockets of the builders, and far and away the most practical effo,rt of the Government to insure recovery has been FHA. Most other efrorts seek reform. FHA aims at recovery by making intelligent loans on American homes, the money to be returned after it has accomplished its purpose. FHA is in full swing right now. f have no doubt but that its most effective year will be 1939.

Realizing full well ,n. l"i"i- of trying to,prophecy, I still feel that 1939 is going to be a good building year. It may even be a grand building year. Much is going to depend on politics, unfortunately. (I would again hazard the opinion that the depression will finally be over and rocovery won when business no longer has to watch politics, but can go back to the old fundamentals. For several years business and politics have been so closely interwoven that Solomon himself could no't have discussed industry withoutldiscussing politics, also) But by the time Congress has been in session sixQr days, things may be tremendously better. If business discovers that it is to be protected in its normal and natural efforts to "increase and multiply"; and if Congress shows that it aims its legislative guns toward helping remove many of the present fears of investors and employers, we could have grand times, and have them very quickly. Let us pray !

On the whole r believe ln"l o,irt""ss and industry in this country have a right to grin hopefully as they face the New Year.

forward to as fair a prospect as can the building industry in this land of ours ! Instead, it continues to' totter on the brink of chaos, while men with minds to think and nerves to feel, shudder at what 1938 has brought upon the world. What, I pray thee, has become of that kindly philosophy that most god men have hugged hopefully to their hearts during the last one hundred years, that "the world is growing better all the timd'? Not even the happiest and blindest optimist on all the Seven Seas would accept that statement as true for 1938. For during that year nations that for generations past have largely devoted themselves to contributing to the world's store of wisdom, of literature, of art, of ntrmerous things that contribute to the health and happiness of mankind, have suddenly spewed forth monstrous men with hideous philosophies. And these men and these philosophies have so far swept decency and righteo'usness before them, achieving horrors that almost bankrupt the imagination.

I am prompted to write and thank you personally for the pleasure and enlightenment I have derived from your "Vagabond Editorials" these many years. They "sta,nd out" in a class by themselves and, stripped of all else in your publication, to my notion are worth many times the subscription price. I am sure practically every one of your subscriber friends has the sam,e feeling about them but, unfortunately, probably too few of them "take pen in hand" and convey this fact to you as should be done. Some of -vour editorials contain outstanding g'ems, and are worthy of being segregated into a book by themselves.

broken fanes are to be found on every hand where once rntghty cathedrals pierced the sky with their shining crosses. To those within the circle of the horror no doubt it seems that the very fabric of our boasted civilization is crumbling into unmeaning chaos and formless dust, where oblivion broods, and even memory forgets. ***

History is again demonstrating, as it has done so often through the ages, that no matter how terrible and revolting a philosophy may be, if the zealot who propounds it believes it strongly enough, he will not only make converts, but will even awaken a fierce enthusiasm in its favor that sweeps even into deep fanaticism. Witness how Mahomet changed the easy-going Arabians into a horde of murderous bigots. In the pathway of a crusader everything infammable catches fire, argument and reasoning become useless. and the flame must run its course. So it will be in the Old World.

I believe that their "roJ.al "i,rr". religion will furnish the tyrants weapons for their own destruction. Hitler and Stalin and their ilk, are but incidents in the life of a natio,n. Religion is its very life. History clearly indicates that it makes little difference what the religion of a people is, provided they have one, or many. History likewise abundantly demonstrates that when a people begins to doubt its God, it begins to lose its glory, The greatest minds of ancient and modern times regarded religion as the palladium of national power. Man is at heart a creature that requires sentiment, and religion is the deepest, most ineradicable sentiment of the human heart. Crude it may be, but its tendency is upward, towards the stars and heaven. Strike out religion and you reduce a nation to the level of educated beasts. Annul the power that pulls people UPWARD, and they drop back to primordial savagery. If there is no Fatherhood of God, there can be no Brotherhood of Man. Religion is the divine perfume of the human soul. The tyrants of the Old World will find that you can't drive religion from the human heart with a maul.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the nxrny favors received during the past year, and to wish all our customers and friends

Lumber Industry Shows lmpressive Gain Last Six Months of Year

Expects Residentiol Buildins rn 1939 to Beter 1938 Fisures

Washington, Dec. ZO-The lumber industry staged a considerable recovery the last half of 1938 from the recession of the previous trvelve months, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association declared today, booking new orders in September, October and November 19% above orders for a similar period last year as compared lvith the first six months period in which new bookings fell 23% belolv that ol 1937. Orders for the entire year showed only a 5/o loss Irom 1937.

Demand for lumber for building during 1938 was about equal to last year's demand, due to the gains in residential building in the last half of the year. Residential building in 1939 is expected to be 25% above 1938. Demand for rvooden box material increased during the last half of the year. Two important sources of lumber demand, however, lagged greatly, namely exports and railroad purchasing. Lumber exports in 1938 were lowest in 16 years. War in the Orient and unrest in Europe do not promise any appreciable recovery in the near future. In the meantime lumber imports are increasing though they were not so high in 1938 as in the previous two years. The outcome of the United Kingdo'rn-Canada trade agreement negotiations was disappointing to the lumber industry which hoped for rvider opportunities without tariff discriminations in Great Britain and its possessions than is now indicated.

Due to the financial conditions of the railroads and their comparatively lorv traffic records of 1938, buying of materials and equipment was discouraged. Railroads usually buy large quantities of lumber, often 10 or 12 per cent of the total production. In the first nine months of 1938. railroad purchases from manufacturers were less than half of the similar ,period of 1937. Some renewal of buying took place in the last weeks of 1938 and it is believed 1939 u'ill see substantial increases over last year.

Lumber consumption by the wood-using industries suffered considerable loss in 1938 as compared with 1937. The outlook for 1939 is encouraging, especially in the furniture industry which is now the largest user of hardwoods

ancl in,creases its orltput lvith advancing reside.ntial construction.

A stimulant to the sale of lumber during tl-re year lvas the sale of timber-joint connectors for light and heavv frame construction such as bridges, towers, grandstands, warehouses, airports and docks. During 1938 over 1700 structures were built with these connectors, using over 7O,00O,00O feet of lu'mber.

Considerable progress in the revision of the American Lumber Standards was made in 1938 and it is expected that this important Standards publication u'ill be underu'a1' by the first of 1939.

Prices on lumber during 1938 were lower in the aggregate than in 1937. The Bureau of Labor Statistics index number on the basis of 1926 as 10O averaged 9O.4 for tlre first ten months as compared with 99 in the year 1937. As the year closes the pri,ce trend is moderately upward, partlv due to added labor costs resulting from the Fair I-abor Standards Act. This is expected ,particularly to affect lumber costs and prices in the South.

In the rvorking out of a national forestry policy some progress was made in 1938. Follo'iving a message from the President, the 75th Congress established a Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry, to revielv the national situation and recommend to the next Congress such measrlres as may appear desirable to place the Nation's forests on a continuous production basis. The Comrnittee has held two hearings. It is expected that in,creased Federal support of State and private efforts to protect forests from natural hazards and educate forest orvners in better mana€fement practice will be provided by the T6th Congress.

In the forest industries there has been considerable extension of forest practice rules to management of private timberlands. The greatest needs are for increased domestic and foreign markets to provide outlets for products of forestry. Trade agreements consummated during the year by the American Government failerl signally to meet this need.

IJousing research groups rvhich have spent months seeking a solution to the problem of adequate, low cost housing, rnet with architects, engineers and techni'cians who are authorities in every field o,f housing construction, in a coordinated effort to perfect a better standard of living for the lorv-income class.

Government housing officials participated in the conference, along with representatives of the plumbing,.heating, insulation, refrigeration, cement, electrical, lumber, copper, brass, milhvork and allied industries. Present also rvere representatives of housing research foundations, contractors and realty dealers.

Upon completion of final details of the program by the first of the 1.ear, it is planned to launch a campaign on a nation-rvide scale to stimulate the construction of the homes in every community, making them available chiefly through local co,ntractors, lumber and building supply dealers.

Plans so far worked out.indicate a variety of home styles rvill be made available, flexible as to size from three to seven rooms, and which can be adapted detached, semi-detached and row-house types. Demonstration projects already are planned in a number of communities.

The entire undertaking will be initiated locally with the aid of private capital. The only Federal ag'ency which might enter into the picture is the Federal Housing Administration, whose mutual mortgage insurance plan it is planned to utilize in financing the sale of the homes to individual families.

Appraises Home Building Market Facts Belore Federal Housing Economists

\Vashington, Dec. 16.-.4 six-sided analysis of the American market for new homes in the immediate future was presented to one hundred and twenty housing economists from all Housing Bureaus of the Federal Government departments, by Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, at a luncheon meeting here today of the Central Housing Committee.

Mr. Compton described plans of the private home building industry which are already underway to provide more adeq,uately good modern housing, ranging in accommodations from three to seven rooms and within the buying or renting range of families r,vith incomes as low as $10O a month.

These plans are embodied in the National Small Homes Demonstration, a cooperative technical and merchandising group of thirty-trvo important building and building material industries.

Mr. Compton analyzed the facts as sufficient to define the major problem with rvhich the bui,lding industries are dealing:

1. Satisfactory home financing which plagued us when we had a boom market is no longer a seriotrs problem in m,ost communities.

2. Among families with incomes of $250O or more, nearly 75 per cent own their homes.

3. Among families with incomes under $2500 the corresponding ratio is less than 40 per cent.

4. Eighty-seven per cent have annual incomes less than $2500; seventy-nine per cent less than $200O; sixty per cent not more than $1500.

5. Assuming that a family rvith an income of $2500 or less should not spend more than 25 per cent for housing, then 85 per cent of American families are not safe prospects for new homes costing more than $6500; 75 per cent for homes costing over $5000; and fifty per cent for homes costing over $3000.

6. The average cost of new detached homes built in the United States is around $4500 and the average is declining. Between 1930 and 1937,16 per cent of our I76,m average new dwelling units cost $3000 or less; 32 per cent cost $3000 to $5000. Mo,re than half were built for the market over $5000 which on the averag'e is already saturated.

Merchandising, in the sense we now crpprocch it, mecrns CREATING NEW BUSINESS. And where, in the good (we hope crnd prcry) yecr 1939, shcll the cmbitious building mcrtericl merchcrnt lind lields lor his talent thct ofler scrtislcrctory hope oI rewcrrd? Whct lields shcll he plow cnd which plow shcll he use?

I hqve vcrrious suggestions to offer. But the best one, to my wcry oI thinking, I got lrom Mr. H. M. Shcrckellord, merchcrndising counsel extrcordincry, qnd vice-president ol c grecrt building mctericrl firm,Iohns-Mcmville Scles Corporction. He wcs pointing out the Lqnds oI Opportunity thct he thought were beckoning lrom the threshold ol 1939 to the building mciericl merchant, crnd he promptly suggested "Main Street."

It hit me right between the eyes. OI courset Mcrin Streetl Not cny pcrticulcu Mcdn Street in cny pcrticulcr town, but Mcin Streets generclly, the old business districts lhtrt so rcpidly hcve grown grim, cnd grimy, crnd more or less old lcshioned, cnd delinitely uncrttrcrctive, not to mention imprccticcrl qe compcrred with the modernized plcces ol buginess. Thct's the ticketl Modemize Mcin Streetl

Get thct thought in your hecrd crnd wcrlk up cmd down YOttR Mcin Street the first chqnce you get. Look over every old business building you see with cr thoughtful, questioning eye. How could it be modernized? How SHOIILD it be improved? As you go crlong, note how dull, colorless, uncrttrcrctive, cmd LONESOME most oI the old stores cnd other pl<rces oI business look. And then note thcrt new scndwich shop over on the corner,' thcrt brightJooking ice creqnr den; those shops oI vcrrious chqrtrcter, here cndthere, thcrt crre new, qnd modern, crnd big-windowed, crnd shiny. See how they drcw the crowds. And think whcrt Main Street would be like iI all the others lollowed thct sme lashion crs lcr crs prcrcticcl.

,When you tclk to c mcrn crbout moderniz':ng his Home, you cre suggesting something whose returns crre chiefly in tenns oI humcrn eatislcction-humcn sentiment. But when you lcrlk to cn obsolete shop owner on the scrnre subiect, you cre tclking crbout qn investnent lo bring people into his store, that will plcry on the ccrsh register q tune ol entrcncing lilt. And moreover, the business owner ccrn usucrlly allord or crrcnge to mqke the improvements, once he is sold on the ide<r.

I think Mcrin Street holds out to the building mctericl merchcrnt qnd building thinker ol 1939, one oI his very finest opportunities. At lirst glcnce il seems something of cr long iump lor the retcil lumber decrler to go out moderni'i.g Mcrin Street. Something entirely new. Suret But the wcy I reqd the ccrds, something entirely new-mcny things in fcct-ig whct the building merchcrnl sorely needs. New thoughts, new idecs, new work, new opportunity, new territory.

True, he will hcve to equip himsel{ especiclly lor thct purpose iI he wishes to modernize his Main Street. But why not? The more I think ol it, the bigger the opportunity looks. No one has been shooting ct Main Street crs c proapective building mctericl conaumer oI mqrvelous worth. It's time someone did. Why not ihe live, hustling, thinking retail lumber salesmcrn? The mqn who nrodernizes Main Street won't need crny other business lor cr long, long time, qnd there should be cr lot better prolit in it thcn in selling trro by fours crt so much q thouscrnd.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Fifteen representatives, appointed by the presidents of the three National Lumber Associations as current members of the revived National Lumber Trade Conference, met at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on December 12, 1938, under the chairmanship of George W. Dulany, Jr.

After a full day of discussion of various conditions in the industry, the Conference evolved some proposals tvhich rvill be submitted to the officers and directors of the National and Regional Associations, and if approved by them, will be submitted to the industry.

Members of the Conference were unanimous in their opinion that there should be more coordination and cooperation between the three branches o'f the industry, and that much good can come to the industry by representatives of the three branches meeting more regularly to st,udy and discuss each others problerns.

The Conference will meet again late in January or early in February at the call of the chairman.

Five California Cities Listed Among First Twenty in Building in United States

Five California cities continue to be listed among the first twenty in the United States reporting the largest building volume for the first eleven months o'f 1938. Los Angeles holds second place with a total o,f $63,085,846; San Francisco was sixth with $2I,7I2,ffi3; Long Beach was thirteenth with $10,672,67O; San Diego was fifteenth with $9,518,439, and Oakland was nineteenth was $8;239,449. New York held first place with a total of $343,O39,249.

The twenty leading cities showing the largest permit valuations for the first eleven months of the year and comparative figures lor 1937 as compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.. follow:

Largest Flooring Order Placed

The largest flooring order ever placed has just been ar'varded for the $65,000,000 housing project in New York City being constructed by Starrett Bros. & Eken, Inc., general contractors, and financed and owned by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.mpany. The order calls for over 7,000,000 square feet of hardwood block flooring costing around $1,000,000, to be furnished by E. L. Bruce Co. of Memphis, Tenn.

The flooring will consist of square blocks, ranging in size from 6fo" to llr/+", fabricated into units from hardr,r'oocl strips. It will be installed in mastic over concrete subfloors.

Over 500 carloads o,f the block flooring will be used, and more than 13,000 oak trees will be required to furnish the rough lumber needed. The flooring will be manufactured at the Memphis Plant of E. L. Bruce Co., and shipments rvill be made over a rperiod of trvo years.

WHOLESALE VENEER CONCERN MOVES

Allied Veneer & Lumber Company, Inc., wholesalers and distributors of hardwood veneers, imported and domestic, moved January 1 to new and larger quarters at 7232 Factory Place, Los Angeles, (one block north of 6th and Alameda Streets).

O. H. Fine is president of the compan)-. The nerv telephone number is TRinity 0281.

The flooring for this project is enough to floor about 10,000 average size residences. The largest previous hardwood flooring order in this country, the Chicago Post Office, also furnished by' Bruce, consisted of about 2,W' 000 feet, in comparison with the 7,000,000 feet for the Metropolitan project.

The Metropolitan project is the largest development of its kind ever planned. The largest housing project to date, accommodating about 1600 families, could comfortably be tucked in one corner of the Metropolitan project.

Census Figures Show Sharp Increase in Employmeht, \(/ages and Value of Products in Lumber Industry

Washington, Dec. 23.-Showing sharp increases in employment, wages and value of products, the lumber industry for 1937 employed 27% 'more wage earners, paid So/ot more in wages, and increased the value of its products 54lo in comparison with 1935 figures, according to preliminary reports compiled from returns of the recent Biennial Census of Manufactures, released by the Bureau of the Census of the Department of Commerce.

In the establishments reporting to the Census, the number of wage earners employed rose from 255,730 in 1935 to 323,928 in 1937. Wages paid increased frqm $183,074,245 in 1935 to $275O33,84 f.or 1937. The value of products increased for the same period from $551,614,W to $848,481,316.

Figures on total lumber production show for 1937 a total ol 25,997 million board feet, compared with 2+,355 million feet in 1936, a gain of 6.7%. Production in 1930 was 26,051 million feet. Production in 1938, as now indicated, may be approximately 20,50O million feet, about 5 per cent above 1935.

Production by principal species in 1937 shows, as in the years 1936 and 1935, Washington, Oregon and California are leading states in total lumber production, followed by Louisiana and Mississippi. Louisiana leads in hardwood outptrt in 1937, followed by Mississippi, Michigan and Tennessee. After the three Pacific Coast states, Alabama and Texas are leading softwood producing states.

Species of softwoods showing the largest vo,lume of production in 1937 were Southern (Yellow) Pine 7,692 million board feet; Douglas Fir 6,555 million board feet; Ponderosa Pine 3,308 million board feet, and White Pine 1,012 million board feet. These four species have been leaders, in the order named, for several years.

Among the hardwoods, oak was the principal species with a production of 1,582 million board feet, ,followed by Red Gum and Maple. This was also the order in hardrvood production in other recent years.

The following table shows the lumber production by

species for the years 1937,1936 and 1935 as compiled by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. The report covers a wider range than in former years, the 1937 figures being compiled from records of 13,651 mills as compared with 12,703 mills in 1936 and 11,365 mills in 1935.

Chris Totten Publishes a Grand Year Book For Arizona Association

Chris Totten, secretary of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association, Inc., occasionally gets out something in the way of original literature, and when he does it is always unusually fine. His year b'ook, issued just be,fore Christrnas, is the best thing he has ever issued, so far as we have seen. It is titled "The Old and the New" for 1938-9. The cover is thin wood. On the front cover there is a drawing by Chris himself of a pine tree scene. Inside tlrere are 24 multigraphed pages, filled with interesting things, cartoons, poems splendidly selected (one of them by Jack Dionne, see?), editorials, building boosts, stories, memorials, all very well done, indeed. It is a clever attractive little album, good enough to take home and have the folks all read, for there is food there for everyone.

THE GUY WHO STUBBED HIS TOE

Did you ever maet a youngster who had been and stubbed his toe,

An' was settin' by the roadside just a-cryin' soft and low, A-holdin' of his dusty foot so hard and brown and bare, And tryin' to keep frorn "his eyes the tears a-gatherin' there? ,.' .-'::..i,.,,

You hear him sorta sobbin' tte, an' snuffin' of his nose, You stop an' pat him on the head and try to ease his woes; You treat him sorta kind like an' the first thing that you know

IIe's up an' off a-smilin', clean forgot he stubbed his toe.

Now, long the road of life you'll find a feller goin' slow, An' like as not he's some pore cuss who's gone an' stubbed his toe;

He was makin' swimmin' headway til he bumped into a stone,

An' his friends kept hurryin' forward an' left him there alone.

He's not sobbin', he's not sniffin', he's just too old fer cries, But he's grievin' jest as earnest, if it only cotnes in sighs, An'it does a lot o' good, sometime, to go a little slow, An' speak a word o' comfort to a guy who's stubbed his toe.

You see you're not so sure yo'ur.self, and there ain't no way to know

Just when its comin' YOUR time, to slip an' stub your toe. Today you're bright and happy in the world's sunlight and glow,

iAn' tomorrow you're a-freezin' an' trudgin' through the snow.

The time you think you've got the world the tightest in your grip,

Is just the time you find that you're the likeliest to slip. So it does a lot o' good sometimes to go a little slow, An' speak a word o' comfort to the guy who's stubbed his to€.

SOLITUDE

Bacon said: "But little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. , For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal where there is no love."

SNOOTY

The prospective dog buyer was pretty particular.

"I want a dog with a fine pedigree; that's the first essential," he said to the dog store man.

The dog store man brought out a pooch, handling him with much respect.

"ffere's just what yo'u're looking for, Mister," he said. "This dog is so blue-blooded that if he could talk he wouldn't even speak to you."

And when we have done our work on earth-of necessity, of labor, of lover, or of duty-like the silkworm that spins its little cocoon and dies, we too depart. But, short though our stay in life may be, it is the appointed sphere in which each has to work out the great aim and end of his being to the best of his power; and when that is done, the accident of the fesh will affect but little the immortality we shall at last put on.

Exterior Plywood Now Accepted bv FHA

New trends inresidential design and construction suddenly became apparent to lumber dealers, contractors, and builders, with the acceptance of F. H. A. of the Exterior grade of Douglas Fir Plywood in rproperties offered for mortgage insurance.

This acceptance followed revision of the standard grading rules for Douglas Fir Plywood, which provided for two classes of moisture resistance and for the grade-marking of panels. The revised Standard has been promulgated by the U. S. Department of Commerce, through the National Bureau of Standards, as Douglas Fir Plywood, Commercial Standard CS 45-38.

The grade-marking set forth in the Standard provides a ilreans of identification of Plywood. The grade mark applicable for Exterior use is "EXT-DFPA." Other marks are: "PLYPANEL-DFPA," the Standard panel grade, suitable for fine wall coverings, for built-ins, for interior displays: "PLYFORM-DFPA," the concrete form panel grade, manufactured rvith a special highly water-resistant glue and suitable for ,multiple re-use as form material; "PLYWALL-DFPA," the wallboard grade, suitable for interior walls and probably the most popular grade of all; and, "PLYSCORD-DFPA," the sheathing grade, suitable for exterior wall and roof sheathing, for subflooring and for similar structural ,purposes.

CRO83 CIRGULATTON KILNS

ZJVo to 50y'o ror,ote capacity due to solid edge.to-edge stacking. Beaer quality drying on low tcnperatures sith a fast rcvcrtibtc circulation. Lower ctacking costs-just solid edge-to-edge stacking in the sirnplest form.

The actual grade marks are easily identified, and "EXTDFPA" and "PLYPANEL-DFPA" are edge-branded; "PLYWALL-DFPA" is shown in a square stamp on the back of each wallboard panel; "PLYFORM-DFPA" is identified by the diamond-shaped stamp on the face of the panel; and "PLYSCORD-DFPA" is scored at 16 inch intervals across the face of sheathing panels and is also marked in a circular stamp on the face.

The promulgation of the standards, and the provision for uniform grade-marking, had the immediate result of gaining FHA acceptance for Exterior Plywood, rvith certain limitations, for Exterior wall finish on conventional woodframed structures. These limitations are:

1. Every panel of plyrvood shall carry the grade-mark ..EXT-DFPA."

2. The grade ,marks shall be visible for inspection' Obliteration by paint or otherwise prior to inspection may be considered cause {or rejection of the material'

3. Thickness shall not be less than s/s inch'

4. All edges of every piece shall be thoroughly protected prior to erection with a paint filler consisting of 100 lbs' paste white lead, lsf gallons of raw linseed oil, and one pint of .l.y"t. If boiled linseed oil is used, t/2 pirtt of dryer is sufficient. This primer shall be applied as a heavy coating
