The cumulative wisdom of the nation is greater far tharr the conclusions of any coterie possible, even though it be composed of all the gods of wisdom combined; and this fact is the strongest plank in the basic platform of this Republic.

Minorities, you must remember, have no rights that ma* jo'rities are bound to respect, excepting only those provided by the Constitution. For which reason, Mr. American Sovereign, stick to that Constitution as the drowning man sticks to that proverbial straw. And glare with deep suspicion upon the intentions of any man who wants to either meddle with it. o,r make it "elastic." It doesn't require the brain of a Shakespeare to realize the doubtful value of an "elastic" rule for measuring ourrights and liberties.

**::.

The true statesman labors to make all men equal before the law. Thepatriot puts justice forALL the people above the claims of any clique or cliques, whether they be majorities or minorities. The belief of the average employer thatthe present labor law throws them into the hands of a "kangaroo court" has cost milliours of jobs in this country in the past two years. And I mean millions ! **r&

Dark and drear, indeed, must belife's pilgrimage, to those who see in heaven no star of hope. The first religion was probably born in the heart of sorne ancient mother who knelt at the deathbed of her first born, and from that great yearning of her loving heart to meet that child again, sprang the first belief in immortality. Even the great doubter, Ingersoll, declared-in uttering the most eloquent funeral oration that ever fell from human lips,that in thehour of death "Love hears the rustle of a wing." The God-idea has been the chief underlying principle of civilization from John Stonehatchet until today. Crude it may be, but essential just the same. To many men religion is an absolute essential, without which their lives would be torture and gloom. What boots it that man be born and that women bring forth offspring in pain unspeakable, if only to eventually glut the highways of death?

In their efforts to stamp the God-idea into the dust, such men as Hitler and Stalin furnish full-fledged the weapons which will eventually bring about their own destruction.

**r:.

We debate excitedly about the wisdom of political leaders, forgetting for the moment how accidental most of them are. The average politician in high place is usually simply theresult of compromises effected by warring political gangs, and not an act of providence.

I knew a man who was a fanatical believer in fundamentalism. IIe contended strenuously that every word in the Bible was put there by the hand of God, and that every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed by that selfsame Power. One day I showed him the Twelfth Chapter of Numbers, where Moses married a coilored woman, and where the Lord sent terrible punishment upon his sister Miriam because she tried to draw the "color line" on her new sister-in-law. The Southern blood ofmy friend forced him to decide that some of the stonies must be allegories.

Harry Hopkins ,., ". ;;,.",,, ",, men know, utterly unfit to be Secretary of Commerce. But when the Senate Cornmittee had him squirming in his chair the other day, asking pointed questions about WPA in politics, my sympathy was with Hopkins. Last spring the Senate, under the Administration whip, refused to make it illegal to mix relief with politics. Then why attack a man for doing something they had by their own votes indorsed? Why not be direct and charge that by reason of hislack of experience, ability and sympathy with business, he was unfit to hold the Cabinet Job?

A cynic once remarn"i al"a'*,, you live in a country ruled bya committee, get on the committee. In Russia they have disproved the wisdom of that suggestion. Over there they kill most of the Committeemen.

Dealers Will Hear Plans of National Organization for 1939

Washington, D.C., January 14Lumber and building material dealers all over the country, meeting in regional conventions during thenext 60 days, will hear at first hand the plans of their national organization, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, for the promotion of house building and property improvements during 1939.

Speakers fromthe headquarters of the association are scheduled to appear on the programs of a score of these meetings, bringing to these key men in the building industry details of the National Small Homes Demonstration, sponsored jointly by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Meetings during the past week of the Indiana Lumber and Builders' Supply Ass,ociation in Indianapolis, the Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Association in Philadelphia, and the New Jersey Lumbermen's Association in Newark, rvere addressed by Don A. Campbell, president of the national association, and Vincent Tutching, Public Relations Director of the organization.

The National Small Homes Demonstration this year rvill center around two exhibit dwellings, one of which will be built by the sponsoring groups at the New York World's Fair, and the other on some ,centrally located site in the National Capital. The two aretypical of the several houses on which architects and leading home economists have been at work for several months in collaboration with the two associations, with the objective of creating ideal low cost dwellings for families in the $1200 to g20CO a year income class.

The state and regional conventions also will be given an outline of the entire public relations program of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, designed to publicize housing generally and particularly in thelow cost field, disseminate facts relating to building costs, simplified financing plans and private industry's contributions to the field of low cost housing.

Also to be outlined to the conventions will be the part the national group is playing in the formation of housing legislation during the current session of Congress.

Two dusky gladiators of the prize ring were having a knock-down-and-drag-out battle, and one of them was wilting under the terrific barrage of lefts, rights, hooks, uppercuts, and crashes of his powerful foe.

Benjamin Ostlind, sales engineer and well known authority on plywood, is doing promotional work on plywood for California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles. In this work he rnakes contact with all .the principal architects and builders.

California Panel & Veneer Co. has issued a pan-rphlet, compiled by Mr. Ostlind, showing just how to specify plywood correctly for the various parts of residential construction and for concrete work. This pamphlet is being distributed to lumber yards, architects and builders.

This firm is Southern California distributor for the "New I-ondoner" C. C. and Flush Doors, manufactured by Arnerican Plywood Corporation, New London, Wisconsin.

!(/heeler Osgood Passes Half-Century Mark

Fifty years ago, back in 1889, four men: George R. Osgood, W. C. Wheeler, W. T. Clark, and T. E. Ripley, formed Wheeler Osgood & Company. And soon afterward the company became recognized as one of the leading millwork manufacturers. More recently, however, Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation has concentrated on the manufacture of Woco and Laminex D,oors and Laminex Plywood products.

The Wheeler Osgood plant was, and still is, located in Tacoma, Washington, "next door" to the huge Douglas Fir forests supplying virgin growth timber. The original facil-

ities were constantly improved and developed, and at the present time, the plant is well known for its capacity, and for its advanced manufacturing methods and modern equipment. Through tl,e far-sightedness of the founders and subsequent officials, the company has grown to be one of the world's largest door manufacturers. The policy of distribution through the regular jobber channels exclusively was established years ago. It is still maintained and is believecl to be one of the reasons for Wheeler Osgood's outstanding position in the industry today.

According to W. Nt. MacArthur and L. J. Phillips, Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation vice presidents in charge of sales at the general offices, in Chicago: "We recognize the responsibility which is ours, to continue to use superior materials, workmanship and service for the benefit of those with whom rve are dealing either directly or indirectly.

Throrrgh our 10-10 Sales Plan, jobbers, dealers, and consumers have been publicly appraised of our standards and ourpolicies. This 10-10 Sales Plan has been successful and is proving to be most profitable to, those jobbers and dealers who have follorved it. More dealers are selling Wheeler Osgood's products today than ever before. We have every reason to believe 1939 will shor,v a marked increase in business {orour dealers, our jobbers and ourselves."

A new door catalog containing designs representative of the complete line was recently announced by the Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation. Copies of the new catalog may be obtained by writing to the Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation, general offices at 122 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago.

This airplane view conveys some idea of the size and extent of our plant-with the largest capacity, namely, 47 M pet hour, of any car-and-cargo mill in Oregon. Cargo and rail shipments of Soft Old Growth Yellow Douglas Fir and Sitka Spruce. Weekly sailings to California ports; packaged lumber stowed even lengths and widths.

And now glued-up wood comes recrlly into its own" The nost competent building cuthorities hcrve O.K'd it lor exterior surlcces, for the mosi strenuous wecrther exposures, and for the building of lreight cnd relrigerctor ccrrs, inside cnd out.

For truly, GLIIE, good old-timey, crnslly glue, is one of the grecrtest modern friends ol the building industry.In the old dcrys the wcsle lrom cr scsh, door, crnd millwork plcrnt wcrs enormous. Since glue ccure crlong lhcrt wcste hcrs been lcrgely eli'ninqted. Much oI the previous wcste hcs been turned into vclucrble products. They used to mcke doors cmd millwork out of solid wood. cnd the wcste wqs firewood.

With iust crs much truth cs the meqt pcrcker used when he scdd he sold everything but the squecrl, the modem millwork man utilizes everything but the whine of the scws. And GIIIE mcde it possible. They don't mcke much solid woodworlc cmy more. They mcke builhup, glued-up wood.. And their crim is something besides the scving oI odds cnd ends of wood. They do so beccruse glued-up wood is stronger, tighter, lighter, sqler, more economiccrl, more useful, less subiect to wcrping cnd crccking thqn solid wood. Todcy pcrnels cre lcnninated-built-up; stiles, rcrils, cmd most other items ol millwork cre likewise.

A dozen yeqrs cgo I wrote in these columns: "Thcrt we will soon be building boards of all widths, thicknesses, cnd lengths desired, built-up crnd glued-up, there cqn be no doubt. There is c ncturcl limitcrtion to how big cmd wide youccncut clecr bocrrds from <r tree. There is prcrcticclly no limitto the gize oI built-up lumber, strong, non-wcrping, becrutiful in grcrin cnrd appeqrcnce crnd prcrcticcl for cr thousand use*"

But my vision crt thcrt li"'e wcs inlcntile. Alrecdy glue cmd wood hcve lcr surpcssed my most enlhusicrstic predictions. And it hcs sccrrecly scrctched the surlcrce of its possibilities. It crppcrently hcrs no prccticcrl limitctions.

Glue has thus blessed wood.

\(/agner Urged to Broaden Facilities of Housing Act

Washington, D. C.In the interest of the National Small Homes Demonstration, Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, has sent the following letter to Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York. Senator Wagner sponsored the National Housing Act passed by Congress in June, 1934: "Dear Senator:

"You know of our interest in the National Small Homes Demonstration and its nation-wide activity in the direction of improving the quality, reducing the cost and increasing the availability of Small Homes.

"The continued effectiveness of these and other like activities is much dependent upon the insurance and insured mortgage facilities now available through the Federal Housing Administration. The availability of these facilities after the middle of this year will, under present law, be much limited. We think that the authorities in Titles I and II of the National Housing Act should be substantially extended and that under Title II the insurance limit should be substantially increased.

"The building material and equipment industries can help materially toward the objective of lower cost, modern homes. Through the National Small Homes Demonstration group and in other ways they are making progress in that direction. They cannot themselves, however, deal effectively with the problems arising out of difficult terms of home financing.

"Present progress is to a large extent hinged upon the F.H.A. insured long-term, single, amortized mortgage, and upon the availability on reasonable terms of financing for proper modernization. These facilities should continue to be available.

"May I, therefore, express the hope that you, as initiator of the National Housing Act, will now seek action by Congress to extend these facilities fora reasonable period; the extension of the full authorities in Titles I and II for at least another two years; and the extension of the i:nsuraric€ limit under Title II to such limit,-possibly five billion dollarsias may enable the Federal Housing Administration and the building industries further to establishthis type of mortgage as fundamental in the sound financing of the building and ownership of low-cost homes.

"Yours sincerely, WILSON COMPTON."

E. A. HOWARD, Sr.

Edward A. Howard, Sr., head of E.A. Howard & Company, often refer' red to as dean of the hardwood dealers of San Francisco, is a Native Son of the Golden State, havi.rg been born in San Francisco on January 23, 1864. Heisa "South o' Market Boy," for the family home at his birth was on Jessie Street, just south of the Palace Hotel.

In 1855 at the tender age of one he moved with his parents, lvithout, as he humorously puts it, being consulted in the matter. to N{azatlan, NIexico, but returned in 1868 to California. where his father, a well knorvn physician, settled for a short time in Stockton and then moved to Antioch. His father came to California in 185O fr,om Alabama, only missing being a pioneer 49'er by three months. While settled in Antioch he was one of only two physicians in Contra Costa County at that time.

Young Howard attended Oakland High Scho,ol, and graduated from the University of California in the class of '86. After graduation he taught school and was for a while vice principal of Modesto High School. He returned to Oakland in 1887.

Mr. Holvard established his ou'n hardr,vood lumber business in Oakland in 1889. Associated with him for some years was Frank A. Mott, who rvas afterwards Mayor of Oakland for several terms.

In 1894 he moved his business to San Francisco, where the yard was first located on Spear Street, just south of Market. In 1898 he moved to B0 Hor,vard Street. The

yard was burned out in the fire following the earthquake in 1906 with a loss of nearly $100,000, but was quickly rebuilt. The corrugated iron building erected at that time r,vas occupied until September, 1938, when the Federal Government bought out the entire block for a post office building.

Mr. Howard has lived in Oakland since 1876. He ancl Mrs. llorvard have three daughters and a sol1, E. A., Jr. The latter is associated rvith him in business.

Ouite a number of rvell known hardwood lttmbermen received all of the greater part of their hardwood education under N{r. Howard's tutelage, Bill Davis, George Cornitius and W. I\I. "Bill" Wilson to mention a feu'. Sam Forsyth u'as also rvith him for some time.

Mr. F{orvard at 75 is still the active head of the business. He is extremely alert and is very enthusiastic about the firm's new location at 1855 Mission Street. He has a fine capacity for enjoying life and gets away from the cares of business at his country place in Contra Costa County, 32 miles from Oakland, rvhere he maintains a number of saddle horses for the entertainment of his family and friends. Horseback riding is his hobby and also Mrs. Horvard's. There are trvo beautiful lakes on this country place, rvhich is 500 acres in extent, and one of these he has stocked with trout.

OAKLANDYARD MOVES TO NEW SITE

Eureka Mill & Lumber Company, Oakland, has moved to its new location at 38th and San Leandro Streets. Only 60 days' notice was given to the nerv owners of the former site, but the big job of moving was completed r,vithin the time limit, February 1. The office was moved on fanuary 24.

The nerv yard co'i'ers three acres. It will be one of the finest and most modern plants in the country when construction is finished. C. I. Gilbert, president, says the new site has several advantages over the old one, one of these being more room for parking.

Trvo nen' stickers rvill be added to the planing mill equipment.

The nerv office building has Redwoocl siding on the exterior and Redwood plyr,vood and Celotex insulation are used on the inside walls. The building has a rvood shingle roof.

N.R.L.D.A. Urges Extension of FHA Title I

Washington, D. C., January 2l-Pointing to the deplorable condition of 6O per cent of American homes, as revealed in a recent survey of 8,000,000 dwellings conducted by the Works Progress Administration, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Ass,ociation today urged the extension of Title I of the National Housing Act-the Property Improvement Credit Plan-after its expiration July 1.

The need for this legislation, which enables property owners to borrow up to $10,000 for the renovation and rnodernization of homes and business establishments, is forcibly dgmonstrated by the findings of the Government survey, Spencer D. Baldr,l'in, chairman of the association's Legislative Committee, declared.

"Only 4O per cent of the houses reported on, representing 203 srban communities, are listed by WPA as in 'good condition,"' Baldwin said. "Sixteen per cent were rated in the WPA report as 'unfit for use.'

"When Title I was in effect originallv-from the fall of 1934 through April l937-more than 56O million dollars worth of property improvements rvere financed under the plan. It lvas allowed to expire, however, and was not reinstated as an activity of the Federal Housing Administratioh until February of last year. Since then, approximately 200 million dollars in property improvement work

has resulted through private financial institutions lending funds under FHA insurance."

Renewal of the law permitting FHA to insure these loans is considered of such vital importance to members of the National Retail Lurnber Dealers Association and the 23,W lumber and building material retailers affiliated through its 28 regional and state associations, that it is being made a part of virtually every convention program at the annual meetings of these groups in all parts of the country during the first quarter of this year.

In stimulating work of this kind through continuation of Title I, Baldwin asserted, the Government not only is contributing to the im,provement of American homes, but also is enabling the expenditure of funds for materials and labor in a field where the most good can be accomplished in relieving unemployment and creating spending po\ rer.

THE ART OF RAILLERY

Raillery is the finest art .of conversation; but it is our usual custom to counterfeit and adulterate everything that is too dear to us, and so we have done with this, and turned it all into what is generally called repartee, or being smart; just as whsr an expensive fashion comes up; those who are unable to reach it, content themselves with some paltry imitation. ft now passes for raillery to run a man down in discourse, to put him out of countenance, and make him ridiculous; sometimes to expose the defects of his person or understanding; on all which occasions he is obliged not to be angry, to avoid the imputation of not being able to take a jest. It is admirable to observe one who is dexterous in this art, singling out a weak adversary, getting the laugh ou his side, and then carrying all before him. The French, from whom we bo,rrow the wmd, had a quite different idea of the thing, and so had we in the politer age of our Fathers-Jonathan Swift.

FIe's a very generous person, and no proof of that I lack, Should I ask it he would gladly give the shirt upon his bach

He would give me fancy neckwear, give or lend me books to read,

f am certain he would give me anything I chanced. to need. He is gracious, friendly, kindly, and a thoughtful fellow, but There's one thing he won't give me-that's a simple twofoot putt.

I have seen him on occasions bravely share another's woe, From those eyes so warm and tender I've seen tears of pity fow,

And I marvel and I wonder as my ball is resting there, That from orbs so soft and gentle there can come so cold a stare.

Hard and merciless he eyes me as his mouth stays tightty shut;

Though I look to him for kindness, he won't give a twofoot putt.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. You cannot build a reputation on things you are going to do.-J.J. Hill.

Resnprest \Taterproof Plywood is Used in Sea-Going Vessel

Indicative of the trend towards waterproof plywood con_ struction in the boat building field is the use of 6,O0O feet of Resnprest in the Stranger out of Seattle. This 135 ft. sea-going vessel, designed by L. E. Geary for Captain Fred L. Lewis and built by the Lake Union Dry Dock and Machine Works is reputedly the largest and best equipped privately owned boat built in the United States since 1931.

Entire superstructure of the vessel is of the phenol formaldehyde resin bonded plywo,od protected with white marine paint and with aluminum coats for the fittings. In addition, all interior 'paneling is of the same material.

Now under construction at the Dafoe Boat Works, Bay City, Michigan are two tugs and a 10O foot pleasure cruiser employing approximately 18,00O feet o,f Res:nprest, principally for bulkheads and superstructure.

'Ihe expansion of this material in the small craft field is progressing rapidly. C. R. Dillabaugh, Pacific Coast designer and builder of small racing and sail boats, specifies Resnprest whenever possible.

According to government tests on Resnprest, a r/4 inchthick panel 12 inches square, rveighing approximately lZ ounces will support over 400 pounds. Other tests show it is impossible to split this material even with an ax and that nails, scrervs and rivets may be applied r,r,ith safety. practical boat builders report that this r,vaterproof plywood may be used 40 per cent thinner than lumber for the longitudinal

recenrry members of boats. When used for hulls, clecks or cabin roof, a stronger and lighter craft results. The big panels bend readily, thicknesses up to a quarter of an inch bending over a 2O-inch radius lvithout steaming and without loss of structural strength.

Wood experts point outthat .rvoocl expancls across the grain and not with it. The right angle cross ply construction of watenproof plywood, they explain, red.uces the expansion and contraction due to moisture and heat to a minimurn and makes possible seaworthy, tighter fitting joir-rts the year around.

Simplified Freisht Rate Book Published by \(/est Coast Lumbermen's Association

Seattle, January lO.-Railroad freight rate books have long been a boon to opticians, not to mention nerve specialists, and even to old man Satan himself. Many a man tvith good eyes had to take to spectacles after getting himself a job that entailed searching through the fine printof the old-style freight rate book, and more than a few with strong nerves have become subject to hysterics from following through on complex references. Some have certainly lost their immortal souls by becoming habitually profane for the same causes, and some have turned to strong drink.

To cure "ratebookitis" at the source, the Traffic Department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has produced a new Freight Rate Book, streamlined for modern use by busy men who value their eyesight. It compares to the old-style rate book as the 1939 automobile does to old Model T. It is being welcomed by lumber shippers everywhere, for the readability ofits large type, in both letters and figures, for the liberal "white space" that makes for quick and sure progress through its columns, and for its remarkable time-saving, simplified reference setup.

"The number of sheets has been reduced from the 302 of. the old book to l2O, and the number of pages from 389 to 212," states K. C. Batchelder, Traffic Manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. "Yet rates to 22,0ffi cities are given, and 65,000 rates are quoted. Reductions were made by publishing shingle rates on the lumber basis, transferring back-haul rates to the Cargo Rate Book, and simplifying routing. More than thirty thousand pages of tariff material have been digested to provide rate information."

A revised Cargo Rate Book for Atlantic Coast shippers has also been simplified and set in large, easily readable ty,pe. For prices and further information on the Freight

Western Pine Homs---ldttractive Fair Exhibit

San Francisco, Calif.. January 3-With the hanging 'of the striking blue shutters this week, the Western Pine Association completed the exterior of its attractive Cape Cod Colo.nial exhibition home on Treasure Island for the Golclen Gate International Exposition, rvhich opens here on February 18. This small, five-room dwelling, known as the "Western Pine Home," has been built by the manufacturers of Idaho \Vhite Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine to demonstrate to the thousands of Exposition visitors the inherent qualities of these Western Pines for exterior and interior uses in house construction. Although several such homes are expected to be built in the area, the pure white Western Pine Home is the first one that has actually been completed. It is located on Lot 9-J, a space of 65 feet by 125 feet, which adjoins the large Homes and Gardens Building and is near the huge hangar, rvhich will house the aviation exhibit at the south end of the island.

In effect, the Western Pine Home spans the American

continent to bring this popular Colonial type of traditional New England architecture to the shores of San Francisco Bay where it is built entirely of the Western Pines, which are produced in the eleven states west of the Rockies. The house rvas designed by the well-known Boston architect, Royal Barry Wills, who, it will be remembered, is one of the group of nationally-known architects who pre;pared the traditional and modern home designs for the September 26 issue of LIFE magazine.

The lumber and architectural woodrn'ork throughout the Western Pine Home are of Idaho White Pine. Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine. Wide bevel siding, shutters, doors of varying Colonial styles, paneling-both clear and knotty pine, and special detailed millwork are just a ferv of the many interesting features that will be exhibited in finished f'orm in harmonious colors. The Western Pine Home is in the $5,000 to $6,000 price range and r'vill serve as a practical clemonstration of the beauty and comfort that can be in-

The Western Pine Home ct the Golden Gsie Internationcl Exposition on Trecsure Island, San Francigco,

corporated into' a small frame house and adapted to m,odern needs.

All the foundation timbers, as well as sash, frames and screens, were treated at low cost lvith Permatol, preservative for exterior millwork, first developed by the Research Laboratory of the Western Pine Association. The sheathing was applied diagonally to give added rigidity to the structure; Certigrade Red Cedar shingles were used on the roof ; and such other important items as sheet lead flashings and white lead paint were provided to insure a first class job.

Motion pictures have been taken of each stage in the construction of the Western Pine Home. It is expected that this film, entitled "Building a Home with Western Pines," will be released early in the new year. This will be the third sound-movie that has been made by the Western Pine Association.

Arrangements have been made to have the Western Pine Home,furnished by the John Breuner Company, of Oakland, Califor'nia. The furniture will include some knotty pine bedroom pieces. Eighteenth Century mahogany furniture will be used in the living and dining rooms. The lanclscaping will be simple, yet colorful, and will include a wide area of lawn with garden furniture made of Western Pines.

Every effort has been made to make the Western Pine Ifome one of simplicity and beauty both inside and out and yet wellwithin the means of families of average income. Those who have seen the completed home predict that it will hold the spotlight of attention among the demonstration homes at the Golden Gate International Exposition.It is just the kind of a house that anyone would be proud to own. C. E. L. Measure, of the Western Pine Association's promotion staff, will be in charge of the exhibit.

European Softwood Export Quotas Less in 1939

Washington, D. C.- The European Timber Exporters Convention has announced its seven member countries have ratified export quotas of softwood lumber for 1939 totali,ng 5,750,000,000 board feet. This is 67o less than the final quotas for the same countries in 1938, and 2O7o below that of 1937. It may be estimated that the quota reduction indicates approximately one-third less total European softwood export in 1939 than ten years ago in 1928.

Box shooks and railroad ties are excluded from the quotas, which only apply to rough and dressed softwood lumber shipped to world markets with the exception of North and South America, fran and theFar East.

The seven countries ratifying the agreement are Sweden, Finland, Russia, Latvia, Poland, Yugoslavia and Rumania. These countries sell about 85% of the European softwood lumber exported.

E. K. \(/ood Oakland Yard Completes Big Concession Booth Order

E. K. Wood Lumber Company's Oakland yard has been a very busy place in the last few rveeks, for in addition to normal activities an order for the fabrication of 160 concession booths for the Golden Gate International Exposition has been turned out in a little over one month's time.

The contract for the materials and fabrication of the structures was taken on December 27 and delivery had to be made by February 1. For a while Manager James N{cNab was a little anxious, but with a combination of good planning and fine weather the job was finished on time. Wet weather would have increased the difficulties of the job, but results have shown that with the large amount of shed space available the work could have been completed within the time limit in any case.

Wcshington Stcte Building ct New York World's Fair

A modernized Colonial type of architecture was decided tupon for the Washington builcling by the group of three Seattle architects who are in charge of tl-re plans. This conservative design was the decision after many conferences of the architects' committee, states Victor N. Jones, rnember o{ the committee, as it r,vas felt that simplicity of line u'ould make the building stand out among' the mass of ultra-rnoclern designs used by n.rost of the exhibition buildings.

"Four factors, we believe, will aid in giving the Washington State Builcling prominence," Mr. Jones says.

"Tl.re first is the simplicity of clesign, rvhich contrasts with the spectacle of 'suspended time' spirals and ultramodernism on every hancl. We believe the moclernizecl Colonial style 'lvill be restful and inviting to r,veary sightseers.

"Secondly, the grounds on rvhich the Washington building is located, are quite spacious. The building itself is 60 feet br. l0O feet u.ith colonr.radecl portico in front.

"Thirdly, the Washington State I3uilding is on one of the main thoroughfares.

"Fourthly, the Washington building is glistening rvhite, in the maroon zone. The fair grounds are laid out in color zones, and the fact that Washington's structure gleaming white amid surrounding maroon buildings, will make it stand out. The white texture paint being used is fror.n I. F. Laucks Company, Seattle. At night the building rvill be illuminated on all four sides."
