For the first time, cabinet made Bagac Doors offer the lumber dealer a line of stock doors architecturally correct in design and mould details, executed in the most beautiful of all hardwoods BAGAC.
Bagac is a hard, tough, dense-textured wood' In many respects, it is similar to Teak. In grain texture, it lies somewhere between Mahogany and Walnut. Bagac produces virtually no ribbon grain, regardless of how it is sa-ed. Rotary cut Bagac reveals a beautiful variety of grain textures, while quarter-sawing shows a uniform fine edge grain.
Bagac cabinet made doors are not to be confused with the ordinary type of mill-made stock doors they are constructed with all the care and precision which marks the work of the skilled cabinetmaker. Their moderate prices give but little indication of their quality.
Bagac Cabinet Made Doors will be a money-making feature for hundreds of dealers during 1930. 'Wtite us for a complete catalog of designs and sizes for interior, ex' terior and French doors.

If this isn't the ideal and exact time for a remodeling and renewing and rebuilding and improving and modernizing campaign-then there will never be one in this world's history. Personally, it looks to me as though Providence had arranged business conditions and building conditions as they are today to force the lumber industry to do things which for many years it has almost entirely overlooked or even scorned, but which, properly attended to, would mean much to them in actual profits, and much to the horne dwellers of the nation in satisfaction received.
***
The F. W. Dodge Corporation, the supreme and dependable authority on building statistics, building facts, building prospects, and building prophecies, says that the home and residence building for the next year is going to be just 8 per cent new homes, and 92 per cent home improvements. Three loud an'd, rousing cheers ! All I hope is that Dodge isn't giving this building industry too much credit for improved vision, energy' and sense of stewardship. It's been in deep debtr to the public for a long, long time. Perhaps poverty-poverty of plentiful complete new house bills to figure and sharpen the old pencil on-will bring the needed change.
:F**
While I don't want to be downpight mean and utter wishes that will make my thousands of lumber dealer friends cuss me, I'll have to admit that I like to see situations develop that make men get off that old line of least resistance, and get on a bigger and. better and more necessary line of business effort.
Mr. Lumber Dealer "nJ "*rrlry in his office, and wonders whether the contractors are going to bring in any new lumber bills this week for him. to figure on, and if the local trade generally is going to decide that it needs sbme stock and come in for quotations. If the bills come in he cusses his competitor for the low prices he has to make. If they don't he says business is rotten, and bemoans conditions, and wonders when the slump is going to be over, and things are going to get right. He does-you know he does'
All of his affairs are so completely on the knees o{ the gods, so thoroughly dependent on outside forces over which he has no control, and which he can do no more than hope :and hope never was a very po'u'erful motive fuel-for. There's so pitifully little creative and constructive character in his program.
And 99 out of every 100 dwellings in his entire sales territory are in actual NEED of some'of the things he has to sell. On every street, in every block, on e\rery rural roadl the need for building service is manifest to those with eyes to see, and with minds to think. In most of the districts o,f this entire country EVERY DOMICILE IS A PASSIVE BUT THOROUGHLY LIVE PROSPECT FOR MODERN BUILDING SERVICE, ranging anywhere from a few shelves to a complete remodeling and conversionjob'
I've been shouting that fact at my retail readers by the printed and spoken word for a solid twenty years now. But this is ONE year when the word should drive hsme. We aren't going to have the new business this year ttrat we want. 'We aren't going to have the automatic volume of new building business this year that we MUST HAVE. Then what are we going to do about it?
I say go out into the highways and byways of your sales territory and furnish to the dwellers of t-hat territory the service Szou have been owing them and withholding from them since time began. And I spy that if you do that thing and do it forcefully and intelligently and "give your genius to it" as the colored brother said, that you will have a lot more prosperity THIS year than. you had LAST year, even though not a single contractor shows up all year with a new house bill for t"r ao*ttlru;
And I believe that just as firmly as I believe in the power of Good. But these are things that don't "just happen." You have to MAKE this happen. You have to create this business by developing these passive prospects, these instinctive but frequently un-thought-of NEEDS into ORDERS. Selling the MODERNIZING idea in terms of defiqite and specific improvements, is the answer.
The dealer sits and says-"Business is rotten-" And in his sdes territory there are hundreds and perhaps thousands of human dwellings that haven't a single, decenl, modernized closet, where the woman of the house may keep safely and attractively her clothes, her hats, her shoes; and fifty per cent of those people would install such closets if they were properly presented to them. Not the lurnber to build the closet. But the closet itself, cedar-lined, properly planned, and properly equipped t,n:"y other piece of furniture.
The dealer sits and says-"Business is bad." And in his (Continued on Page 8)

sales territory there are roofs that should be recovered: ugly old front doors that would be instantly replaced if the attractive new door were properly offered; old kitchens that could be glorified by new built-in things; old bathrooms crying for modern equipment; old living rooms, old. dining rooms, old attics, old rooms of every sort, just wall-divided spaces that cry for the touch of a handl that knows how to modernize, brighten, irnprove.
**r|.
The dealer sits and Says-"Business is slow." And all around him are drab, and lifeless, and ugly, and old-fashioned buildingg every one of which could be sold SOMETHING of an improvement character. EVERY ONE. And if there were a few exceptions, like all exceptions, they would only prove the rule. Paint is needed everywhere. Paint, and still more paint. New and ,attractive hardware is a real need. ***
The dwellers in these houses generally don't realize themselves how bad they are-how much they need-what wonders could be done for them at small cost. They don't know. But YOU know, or should krp*r. And it's your job to shorv them, to tell them, to quote them, to sell them, to deliver the goods, to perform the service, to sell human happiness by showing these millions of folks scattered over every state in this Union how they make their houses into more home-like dwellings. If THAT isn,t yOUR job-then in Heaven's lrame, what is your job? To stock and quote on and measure out boards, and roofing, and these other raw materials? Fiddlesticks! God put you on earth for a biggei job than that.
Quit passing the or"o ,J oia ua, Luck, my retail friends. If you are going to get by this year it is going to be because you have put your thinking and working equipment into unusual service. And if you don't get by, it's your own fault. When the end of 1930 comes, Mr. Dealer, if you write at the end of your year book-,,This year was
a failure", just add another line, a true line, and make it read-"AND IT.wAS ": O.*I D-N FAULT.,I
Eguip yourself ! Do it NOW ! Be prepared to show these people who live in your territory, just exactly what you can do to and for his home, the sales to range from the ver5r smallest improvement, to a complete remodeling or convirsion job. Glorify the small order. Find out every house in your territory that hasn't a full length plate glass mirror door iq it-AND PUT ONE IN. Any dealer that can't sell one of those bdd:room doors to any woman who hasn't one, ought to t'ake up some other line of business. She'll steal the money to buy it, if necessary.
Not only tell them of the built-ins that will re-new their home-SHOW THEM. Cut out your everlasting and business-stifing conservatism, and put these things into your place of business where you can show and detnonstrate them.. Show them how to change their old-fashioned windows, their old-fashioned doors, their old-fashioned roois, their old-fashioned floors; show them how to |anel their living room with cheap lumber, and npke a beautiful room; show them what well selected paint will do to make their homes attractive. ***
Inyentory your territory. List your prospects. Get out of your office; get away from your yard; make a house-tohouse canvassi get into personal contact with your trade; make this a banner year to the people of your territory by gtving them such service as will make them pleased and satisfied with their dwellings.
A board and a nail and a can of paint
Make many " ni"": look new that ain't.
1930 is going to be what you make it. Don't doubt it. Don't forget it. Don't pass the buck. Get out, get busy, think, work, develop, sell, modernize your district. This kind of business CAN'T come to you. The only question today is, WILL YOU GO TO IT?

Flammond lumber stocks include milIions of feet of West Coast forest products, in all grades and sizes. That permits a smaller stock investment for the retail yard. 'Vith an assurance .of prompt delivery, such a stock service means additional profit for the dealer.
Hammond lumber stocks, as well as adequate, bear the stamp of quality. High standards of manufacture, careful grading and kiln-drying, identify Hammond lumber in the retail yard.
And these stocks also include over 50 varieties of foreign and domestic hardwoods, in all an inclusive service in lumber, that protects you, and pleases your customef.
A business helping book issued by The Creo-Dipt Company offers the following very tuthful and interesting thought:
"The 'Rider' is the manufacturer who claims his merchandise is the equal of anybody's and that he sells at a lower price only because he has no advertising.or sales expense. The 'rider' admits he does nothing to cr'eate business+he merely takes orders. That is fine when times are good. But now, when times are bad, you need help. You want to get building started again. And you can't do it alone. The'Riders'won't help you. They canft. It's only the leaders who can help you-and will."
Earl Hoffman is back in the harness again and in charge of the company's Los Angeles office after devoting most of the past four years to his retail lumber operations in San Diego. The Earl Hofiman Co. handles Douglas fir lumber, car and cargo shipments, and Douglas fir doors, panels and veneers.
Mr. Hoffman has been connected with the lumber business in Southern California since 1911, and established the E,arl Hoffman Co. in 1919. Earl says that he is glad to get back to Los Angeles again and to see the old gang once more. He will still retain his interest in his San Diego ooerations.
/ Howard Clark, well known California lumberman, and {his associates have purchased the lumber yard and hardware store at Rio Linda which was formerly operated by P. M. Norbryhn. The yard will be under the direct management of Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark has been'connected with the lumber industry in California for a long period, where he represented the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. for twenty years, spending fifteen years in the Valley territory and five years in Southern California. Since last fall, he represented Dant & Russell, Inc., in the Valley territory. Before going with the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., he managed a retail yard for a number of years.

The Pacific Coast Hardwood Dealers' Flooring Association will meet on Thursday, March 20. The officers of the Hardwood Dealers' Flooring Association aie: C. M. Cooper, W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Los Angeles, president; B. E. Bryan; Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland. vicepresident, and Ja,mes J. Cline, E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, secretary-treasurer.
The Pacific Coast Hardwood Dealers' Association will meet on Friday and Saturday, Maich 2l and 22, The officers of the Hardwood Dealers' Association are: Jerry Sullivan, Jr., Sullivan Hardwood Co., San Diego, president; Roger Sands, Ehrich-Harrison Co., Seattle, Wash., vice-president, and C. R. Taenzer, American Hardwood Co., Los Angeles, secretary-treasurer.
An inte-resting business program has been arranged for and several speakers prominent in the hardwood industry will address the meetings. Among the entertainment features will be a golf tournament, and the annual banquet. Hardwood representatives from all-sections of the Pacific Coast will attend the meetings.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has been advised that the Interstate Commerce Commission has lifted the suspension it had placed on the 1S-cent freight rate reduction announced earlv in 1929 bv the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads on shipments of lumber from the North Pacific Coast and related groups to Dallas, Fort Worth and other intermediate TexaS points along the route of the Colorado and Southern System south of Denver. H. N. Proebstel, Association traffic manager, stated that the suspension removal, effective March 1, establishes the right of these two lines to charge 62f cents per hundred pounds instead of. 77tl cents for- lumber carried over their lines from the Northwest to the Southrvest territory. As other lines are expected to announce similar rates, the effect will be to establish a blanket rate of 621 cents over a large area formerly covered by 70 and 771 cent rates, including practically all of Tbxas, Southeastern New Mexico, most of Oklahoma and Southeastern Kansas. The area affected by the rate change last year took about 6 per cent of the West Coast rail shipments, according to a study made by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association from the reoorts of a group of mills making weekly reports.
The directors of the Southern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association met at t-he San Diego Athletic Club, San Diego, on Saturday, March 1. The secretaiies of the Southern California lumbermen's clubs, together with the San Diego dealers, were invited to have luncheon with the state association directors.
Following the luncheon there was a business session which was presided over by Walter S. Spiier, vice-president for the Southern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. In addition to reports of the Roofing, Cement and Hardwood Flooring committees, Dudley Chandler, Jerry Sullivan, Sr., A. J. Stoner and Kenneth Smith addressed the meeting.

The Builders Exchange of Santa Ana, California, has been debating for some time a live and rousing remodeling and modernizing campaign for that city. This idea came to a head the night of Thursday, March 7th, when a big dinner was held in that city which was attended by outstanding representatives of all the various building trades of Santa Ana, lumbermen, roofers, paper and paint men. plumbers, electrical industry, etc. A good dinner was followed by a pleasing musical pr'ogram. and then by the program of the evening. Jack Dionne, of The California Lumber Merchant, delivered the address of the evening on the subject of remodeling, an inspirational talk ,on the st'ewardship of the building industry. The basis of his remarks were that if the building trade were to do jus,tice to their present opportunities they might know abundant prosperity this year even though they never quoted on a single new house bill. He told them how and rvhy for thirty minutes.
He was followed by Mr. Earl Bowe, of Los Angeles, Southern California field representbtive of The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, who presented the famous remodeling movie of that association entitled"The Transformation." Mr. Bowe made a few pertinent remarks concerning the film and its message.
The followed a series of short impromptu talks by representatives of all the trades there present, and they voted unanimously to support and assist in a remodeling' campaign for Santa Ana, to begin at once. Mr. O. H. Barr spoke enthusiastically for the lumber end of the thing.
Mr. J. C. McCune, of Los Angeles, representative in Southern California of The West Coast Lumbermen's Association of Seattle, proffered the assistance and cooperation of his Association.
Stanley Clem of The Santa Ana Lumber Company took a prominent part in the preparations for the banquet, and in the program.

_ A joint meeting of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club and the Central California Lumbermen's Club. was held on Saturday, March 8, at the Kentucky House, near San Andreas, Calaveras County. the clubhouie of the Calaveras Cement Company, whose guests the lumbermen were for the occasion.
Luncheon was served at 12:30 p. m. in the dining room of the Kentucky llouse. Alex E,merson, of Stockton, led the gathering in the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and also in community singing.
J. F. Holmes, 'Woodland Lumber Co., Woodland, presi- dent of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club, presided, and seated at the head table were Warren S. Tillion. Jr., president of the Central California Lumbermen's Club; Harry A. Lake, president of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, and Chas. G. Bird, Stockton Lumber Co., Stockton, chairman of the arrangements committee for the meeting.
Harry A. Lake, president of the State Association, addressed the meeting on the subject of organization, point- ing out the benefits already to be observed as a result of the splendid growth in membership of the State Association, which he said is norv a powirful organization with which the manufacturers and wholesalers-of lumber and other materials are eager to cooperate. He predicted that the membership would reach 5@ by the end of this year.
Mr. Lake expressed satisfaction with the manner in which retailers are cooperating with each other in almost every district. There are now, he said. 42 local associations in the state, 32 of which have paid secretaries. and representing a total of 750 yards.
The speaker concluded with an appreciation of the fine work done not only by the board of directors, but by all the individual members of the association who had been asked to do committee work.
Jason McCune, of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, who now makes his headquarteri at Los Angeles, followed with a talk on the subject of "Coopera- tion Betrveen the West Coast Lumbermen's Associltion and California Retailers."
Mr. McCune's talk was well received, particularly his statement of the manufacturers' plans to help the relailer to sell more lumber.
Those joining in discussion on various points in these two talks included George A. Good, Good Lumber Co., Tracy; W' H. Falconbury, San Joaquin Lumber Co., Stockton; J. U. Gartin, Stanislaus 'Lumber Co., Modesto; R. P. Fuller, lfome Lumber Co., Manteca. and I. F. Holmes. Woodland Lumber Co., Woodland.
Chas. G. Bird read a letter from the secretary of the San Joaquin Valley Lumbermen's Club, regretting that it was
impossible for any of their members to be present owing to an important reorganization meeting of their club.
The meeting was temporarily adjourned at 4 p. m. in order to_give those present an opportunity to visit the plant of the Calaveras Cement Companv at the invitation of H. C. Maginn, sales rhanager of tire io-p"try.
The trip through the plant proved most interesting. Two of the operations which seemed very attractive to th1 lumberman were the raw mill which reduces the rock to powder, and the automatic filling of the sacks with the exact amount of finished material required.
The capacity of the plant is 3500 barrels a day, and it is clairned by its owners to be the newest and most up-to-date cement plant in the West. Robert Townsend is superintendent.
C. W. Zimmerman, sales engineer for the Treated Materials department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, spoke briefly on "Treated Materials."
The business session was concluded with a talk on "Termites". by A. L. Pickens, of the Termite Investigations Committee, and the University of California. Thii talk. illustrated by slides, given in Mr. Pickens' inimitable stylei proved most informative to the lumbermen, and his descrip- tion of the social habits of these enemies of wood was very entertaining.
Dinner was served promptly at 6 p. m. Entertainment was again furnished by Alex Emerson in the form of Scotch songs and stories.
Immediately after dinner a Hoo lf oo Concatenation under the auspices of Vicegerents George W. Robinson and C. A. Minard of the Stockton and Sacramento districts, was held and 12 Kittens were initiated ifito the mysteries of Hoo Hoo, and five old cats were reinstated.
Chas. G. Bird acted as Snark and he was assisted in the degree work by the following officers: Senior lfoo lloo, C. D. LeMaster; Junior Hoo Hoo, R, A. His,cox; Bojum, C. A. Minard; Scrivenoter, J. U. Gartin; Jabberwock, Harvey-Isenhower; Custocatian, Walter Baker; Arcanoper, R. L. Ustick; Gurdon, Chas. C. Moorehead.

UMBER dealers like to handle Sisalkraft. Its remarkable properties make good with customers. The customers tell their friends about it and you get the repeat orders. Selling costs are lowered. For instance, folding and crumpling do not impair its air- and water-tightness. It can be applied in a high wind. Its asphaltum layers grip nail-heads-air infiltration is eliminated. It is so strong you can hardly tear it. Sisalkraft has a thousand other uses. Merchants, farmers, home owners, mbnufacturers and others buy it. It provides air-tight, waterproof protection for supplies, finished work, winter operations, temporary construction, and so on. A stock of Sisalkraft supplies an almost infinite market, with low selling expense and no trouble. Over 8,000 dealers are enthusiastically pushing this paper.
We have worked out a practicable plan to help you merchandise Sisalkraft to vour own customers. Send us d hrt of your contractors *ith yo,rr order.

If you want to find a wondertul example of what knock_ ing and fighting will do FOR a good product, please con. sider the case of Philippipe Mahogany. For the past several years the importers of the older.and so-called l.True" Ma_ hoganies have been. attacking these philippine woods through the Federal Trade Commission. Before this public attack started the public didn't know much about philippine Mahogany. What the public has learned is well shown in business conditions this winter.
W. G. Scrim of Los Angeles, American representative for The Findlay Millar Timber Company, Xargest manufacturers and importers of Philippine lumber, is authority for the statement that during the past winter they have cut their prices not a single penny, that their inquiries are mcre numerous in the past three monthg than at any time in their. history, that their mills are operating full capa.city, and their order book is filled.well ahead of their shipments. No other wood has any comparable record.
A little more o,f the same publicity and philippine hard_ woods bid fair to becorne the world's most prosperous woods.

The extra years of performance of any structure depend largely upon the strength and durability of the lumber used in its construction. Government tests have proven that kiln dried lumber is stronger than partly dried or green lumber and lumber properly dried before it is used in construction insures a more durable structure.
In order that you can be absolutely sure of the dryness of the lumber you handle-the C. C. & C. C. trade-marh is placed only on thoroughly kiln dried stock.
Let us quote on your requirements.
In our mutual companies, our obligation to protect the policy-holder demands that we sift out the firetraps-that we insure only approved rieks-that we keep losses down.
The policy-holder who maintains a good. risk should nq1-and under our.Lumber Mutual plan cannot be penalized, by higher rate and reduced dividends, in order to protect the bad.
Few lumber yards offer the fire hazards our picture presents, but it is to protect our policy'holders and ourselves against such risks that we have eetablished definite approved etandards.
When a property fails to meet our gtandards, we show the owner how to make it acceptable, thus bringing greater fire safety to him and safe-guarding the interegts of all.
For approved properties, Lumber Mutual policies offer the most corn\lete protection aaailable for the lumber ind,ustrSr, zttith the substantial sauing of a diaidenil that azterages 4OVo. Write an! of our comfanies for full intormation.
Teletype machines have been installed in the Seattle, Portland and San Francisco offices of the Chas. R. McCor* mick Lumber Co., in order to facilitate communication between the company's 'offices in these cities, and to speed up service to the lumber dealer. These machines receive and print the messages at the receiving end at exactly the same time as they are typed by the sender, thus resulting in a considerable saving in time.
W. C. Miller, Columbia Lumber Co., Seattle, was elected president of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association at the annual convention of the association held at the Hotel Davenport, Spokane, Wash., February 20, 2l and 22.

I{ tt^rry B. Smith, editor of the San Francisco Chroniclg 'sporting Green, was the speaker of the day at the regulai monthly luncheon of Hoo Hoo Club No. 9, held at the Elks Club, San Francisco, February 27.
In his talk Mr. Smith discussed the various sports, and gave some interesting figures on attendances and the money involved in golf, baseball, football and boxing. Most interesting were his reminiscences of famous sporting figures and events of the past, given from his 25 years experience in the game. Showing the growth of public interest in sports, Mr. Smith stated that his paper gave six columns of space to sports and employed two men 25 years ago, and today the daily space devoted to sports is four pages, emplying six men full time. The speaker concluded by answering a large variety of questions on almost every kind of sport.
It can certainly be said that those missed a treat. President Eddie Peggs Gaetien was ,chairman of the day.

Washington,' D. C., March 10.-As a distinctive new service for the benefit of active retail lumber dealers, and their salesmen, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association will begin publication of a series of "pocket manuals" that rvill contain in condensed form telling presenta- tions of lumber selling facts, including buildersr experiences, information on wood and its qualities, and technical data, stated in language especially adapted to sales talks. Some of this material will be information already known to experienced dealers, but it will be put in such shape that it can be quickly found and effectively used. Muih of it rvill be the result of recent laboratorr. research. confirming or disproving old pra,ctices and beliefs, and provid- ing new information and ideas for salesmen faced with ag- gressive competition-new selling weapons.
Distribution of this material will be confined to ,,live" dealers. The N. L. M. A. will put on its mailing list for this.service only dealers sufficiently interested in sales pro- motion to request that these publications be sent to them, but general distribution will not be made.
There will be folders on wood floors, on wood sash and frames, on fire losses, on timber resources, on paintability of. woods, on correct methods of wall constructibn, on duiable woods and wood preservatives, on heavy timber framing_ and other important subjects. They will be fortified with actual consumer experiences, latest data from research laboratories, installition "trd construction oractices and methods approved by authoritative technicil handbooks and such other available material as would be likely to convince customers.
Data for the folders is now being gathered with a vieq, to beginning their early publication. In expressing the desire to hear from dealer! who want to actively ti.rd"rtake local sales promotion the National Lumber lftanufacturers Association states that distribution wil be free and recommends that those who wish to receive this service send in their names in time to receive the first folders .as published.

Washington, D. C., Mar. lO.-District Forester Evan W. !{el!e_y, after an investigation of four big fire districtsthe Northern Rocky Mountain, Pacific Nolthwest, California and Intermountain-is recommending the "safe-hour control" which provides that the National Forests must be so improved, equipped and manned that any given fire can be reached within a fixed time limit and extinguished before it reaches dangerous size. One essential in the establishment of safe-hour control is a system of roads and trails that will make all areas ctuicklv-accessible. Forest Service records sl-row that the percentage of large fires has decreased consistently with the extension of road and trail systems.
The av_erage National Forest fire guard now attempts to protect 28,000 acres or 44 square miles of forest. Sufficient man-power is needed, according to Major Kelley, to bring this average down by at least 10,000 acres. Major Kelley says: "Of course, it cannot be contended that all losses from fire are directly traceable to inadequate provisions for protection. However, it is believed that with the fire con- trol machine in the respective districts completed the ?:r9ag.9 burned can be reduced and kept within acceptable limits."
New York, N. Y., Mar. lO.-Hard maple and iift-sawn yellorv pine floors have given 25 years of continuous servi9e o1 the stage of the Hippodrome, whose stupendous productions have entertained millions. In the course of a !urvey of stage floors, a representative of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association found George Fields, stage manager of the Hippodrome, keenly interested. He said the hard maple wood floor, laid solidly back stage and in the- wings, had given uninterrupted service for 25 years, without replacements. It is nominal lt/sxZfi-inch hard maple, side-matched-actually I l/6x2fu-inch face. On the apron, used for dancing, maple w'as chosen because of its superior resonance for tap. dancing, buck and wing steps and syncopated interpretations.
The main center stage section, orginally yellow pine, has never been replaced, but at the time the apron wis relaid, seven years ago, the section was covered with a new 25/32x Zfu-inch Jackson face, Lockhart rift-sawn yellow pine.
Long Beach, Calif., Mar,ch 1.-The Pacific Coast Building Ofifrcials Conference reports the adoption of the Uniform Building Code in Long Beach, California, on February 7, 1930. This is the seventieth city in the United -States to adopt the measure. No other building code known has been adopted by so many citigs in such i short space of time-a little over two years. Many other cities are on the eve of adoption, awaiting only the publication of the improved 1930 edition before taking definite action toward the enactment. In the Bulletin, the house organ of the Pacific Coast Building Ofifrcials Conference, five cities are reported as adopting in January the Uniform Code-Sebastopol and La llabra, California; Helena, Montana; Olympia, Washington and Albuquerque, N.

During 1929, more than 1810001000 feet of metal valleys were sold and none of this profitable business went to lumber dealers.
This year the story will be difierent. Pioneer Copperclad Valleys are taking lumber dealers into this active market with a product that will sell for every type of sloping roof . . and that costs less in the long run, than other metal valleys!
Because every sloping roof needs valley strips, Pioneer Copperclad Valley Saips make a logical item to sell with every order for roofing material . . . tile, slate, wood shingles, asbestos or composition shingles.
Pioneer Copperclad Valley Srip is made of the best asphalt roofing with a strip of pure copper down the center where it is exposed to wear and weather. ft can be applied by any roofer . . . it is fexible, fits snugly and nails down just like any roofing. Put up in rolls containing 50 ft. lengths, 22/2 nches wide with 9 inches of pure copper exposed.
For samples, prices and complete information, get in touch with the nearest Pioneer branch office . . . and remember, Pioneer Copperclad Valley Srips are patented and manufactured exclusively on the Pacific coast by Pioneer Paper Company.

One of the most enjoyable luncheons the writer has attended in many a moon, was the monthly affair of Hoo Hoo Club No. 9 of San Francisco, which took place yesterday at the Elks Club. As everybody knows, the Hob Hoo Club is an organization of lumber rnen, and when you have mentioned that you have said "Regular Fellows" and no mistake.
From J. E. Peggs, president; Edward Tietjen, secretary, and Harry Gaetjen, chairman of the day, on through the personnel of the club, they are a fine crowd to meet and chat with. We talked of sports, almost every variety of sports, for these fellows are variously minded to say nothing of being broad minded, and some of the questions thel' asked were not so easy of ansr.vering, either.
We hope they'll say: "Come again," some time, -San Francisco Chronicle.

We want your opinion with Jack Dionne on dealer papers.
on a hot argument we've been having the question of advertising in lumber
And-because our ears burn -we suspect he refers to Masonite Structural Insulation and Masonite Presdwood in the editorial reprinted here.
We admit that Masonite and Presdwood -like Jack's anonymous product-are wonderful. So we advertise their uses-nationally-to help our dealers sell more Masonite and Pr0sdwood. That's where the rub comes. It's the place the argument startg -the point where we need good umpires.
Should we devote all our advertising effort and dollars to help our dealers sell their stocks, trusting that we in turn will be benefited by their success? Or should we divert part of our national appropriation, to sell Masonite m lumber dealers?
Your opinion on this question will be read with interest. Will you write and let us have it? MASONITE

A new windorv frame having unusual and commendable "weather-proof" features has been placed on the market recently by The Long-8e11 Lumber Company. It is known as the Long-Bell Airtite frame and is manufactured at the cornpany's plants at Longview, Washington, of kiln-dried Douglas fir.
Di"cussing the neu' frame, Thos. A. Kemp, manager of the Long-Bell frame sales department, said:
"Our {,irtite frame is in no way the result of merely tryIeJrfrf,el& 'Airtite" ll'lrrdorr Irnrrrrr
of distribution and service. When standard products can be improved, and if those improvements are piactical, they should be made. Consequently, we have been'studying frames for years and the Airtite frame is the practical result of our engineers' studies and experiments to provide a window frame that would meet the requirements of present-day ins.rlation standards. It is said that 25 per cent of the heat loss or infiltration is at the doors and windows. This is in addition to the 25 per cent loss through the glass."
The Long-Bell Airtite frame has the following new featrrres :
Beginning with the Drip Cap, the bottom is rabbetted so that it makes a rveather-proof joint with the head casing. Next, the Blind Stops are rvorked with a wedge shaped tongue on both sides-one tongue fits into a wedge shaped q.roove in the edge of the jamb-the other into a wedge shaped groove in the back of the casings.
The bottom edge of the Head Casing has a similiar sroove running its full length and then the Side Casing has wedge shaped tongues on the ends, thus making i rveather-proof joint where they join with the head casing.
The outside shoulder on the Sill is a full one-quartir of an inch deep, lvhich permits an absolute weathei-proof joint with the storm sash. The Sill is double horned for the Blind Stop, the inside horn extending 2fu,, beyond the hack of the jamb. This ,construction feature provides a rveatherproof joint for the outside casing.
By moulding the face of the sill, the manufacturer has maintained the same thickness at both shoulders; therefore, to make a tight fit where the sill goes into the dado in the jamb, the bottom of the sill is moulded in such a manner as to make both top and bottom lines parallel. This assur,es a tight joint along-the entire width of-the jamb.
Other Long-Bell frame features incorporated in the Airtite frame are :
Kiln-dried Douglas fir and heartwood throughout. This mature wood is claimed to be the most durable, and when frames are made with it, and properly constructed, they should last the life of the building.
The standard Airtite frame is made with all exposed parts of vertical grain Douglas fir. This assures free-running sash and satisfactory paint jobs.
ing to give the trade 'something difierent.' We do not approve of such practice, especially in the building industry. Too often dealers and jobbers stock certain products and then, before they have moved their stocks, fincl they are out-of-date because 'something different' has come on the market.
"On the other hand, we do believe that the suc,cessful manufacturer, jobber and dealer are those who keep everlastingly at it, trving to better their products and methods
NEW
The Airtite is a K. D. frame, consisting of. seven units and is put up in two metal banded bundlis. "As we see it," savs Mr. Ke_mp, "this new frame has two very impor- tant features. One, it is weather-proof. The oth-er is the ease of and speed with which it cin be assembled. Many actual tests show that this frame can be assembled on the iob in less than ten minutes. Every member of this frame interlocks with another and there is only one way that it can be assembled. There is no chance to go wrori_s."
The _vogue _fot built-ins is growing- the demand for Port Orfoid Wf,it" Cedar, ideal for this purpose, is constantly increasing. Built-ins provide the maximum of storage area in a limited space, and when made of port Orford Cedar they aford consrant satisfaction because they will nor warp or pull out of place. Nails stay in place. Port Orford Cedar is also excellent for closet linings because of its extreme smoothness and delightful cedar aroma.
Fine grained, cream-ryhite, Port Orford Cedar stains to rich softness or enamels with a porcelain-like finish. Architects select this fine cedar for the homes of their most particular clients because it gives lasting beauty and satisfaction.

". and another thing I like about Pa-Co Plywood," declares the dealer who lets Plywood increase his profits,
"is the way it always gets here in good shape. The manufacturers realize that it isn't enough for a product to be fine and smooth with no chipped edges or broken corners when it leaves the factory. It's the condition in which it reaches his yard that counts with the dealer.
"So they pack Pa-Co Plywood carefully in strong cartons that bring it through all okeh."
Consider the Banana. It started the fashion of protecting your product to the consumer.
Or maybe the egg antedated it. we don't know. Also we've heard the coconut mentioned favorablv in this connection.
So when we realized how good Pa-Co Plywood really was and we kept hearing it from many sources. we just figured it would be a good plan to profit by the good examples mentioned above.

Every now and then someone gets an idea that strikes like a blow. The other day I was reading about the Fabian Society in England. They started some thirty years ago just to advance some certain ideas, to keep up propaganda .long certain lines. They never let up. This society is runing the English Government. Thby supply the ideas of t\ Labor Party.
man by the name of Webb, who is now Lord Somebody-or-Other, was one of the charter members. From one of his articles I took this expression, "The inevitability of the gradual". Isn't that striking? It is not wars, earthquakes, or fires that very much influence the world. The world is influenced by the inevitability of the gradual. The thoughts that come one at a time, little thoughts, little ideas. These things come into our minds gradually, but after a while they make up our minds, and when enough minds are made up with the same idea, there is a tremendous power. Just stop and think out the idea of the gradual being inevitable.
Have you seen men who made a great noise? They pounded the desk. They talked loud. They swore. But they did not get anywhere. While some other man who was quiet, who did not seem to assert himself, in the course of time gradually became inevitable. This is so true that all of us have rather a suspicion o{ anything that comes upon us too quickly. We have a feeling that it takes time to bring about stabilized institutions.-Sanders Norvel in Hardware - t' ,, T'_i I "e .:, Age. 'i e i..:. :

Come, boy, to your d,ad. Let me tell yoir
Of the man who loved me as I'm loving For the heart is a pendulum, heavy, that swings, Aye, forward and back, as all pendulums do. And tonight, mine has swung far away to the time
When your dad had a dad-just as you have-my son; A dad to whose arms I was welcorne to climb
When his day in the cornfield or meadow was done. I crept into his arms that were stronger, my lad; And his hands-O so tender-were harder than mine. For the world had been harsh with the dad of your dad, Yet I wish that my soul were as gentle and fine As the one roughly clad in that body of his That so lavishly gave of its strength for the one Who now shelters you. And.my prayer's burden is Thgt you may think thus of your father, my so-n. What I've gained, I have gained; his the heavier cost. He, in embryo, held,all the things I have done. Yet I fear-gravely fear-there are things I have lost That sadly diminish the triumph, my son. So lie close, little man; there's so little we know Except that I love you, and you can love me. And I smile with content that you're loving me so, And am glad in that love, as my dad used to be.

The Fageol Motors Company has recently opened a fac- tory branch in Sacramento, at l?lg C Stieet, under the name of the Fageol Motors Sales Company. Mr. T. L. Baumgartner, who has been with the Fageof Motors Company since 1917, will be the manager of this branch. Mr. Baumgartner has had a wide e*perience in the problems of truck operation, having served the Fageol Mbtors Company, in an executive capacity, since its beginning.
"The location of the new branch is in thi ."-d buildirrg that was forme-rly occupied by Sowers-Fageol Company", 'rvho were the former Fage,ol dealers in Sairamentoj' according to Mr. Baumgartner.
"l!.e.lolicf of the Fageol Motors Company has been to cstab{sh factory branches in all the large-cities on the pacific Coast. The large nu.mber of Fagiols nolv in opera- tion in Sacramento and adjacent territo;ry has made it'necessary to open a factory branch in Sacramento so as to have adequate supplies and standard parts near at hand.', Bauntgartner states. "The service dipartment will have in stock all s'tandard parts of well-knowi trucks, promising to maintain a most efficient service to big truck-operatori in the Sacramento territory.
"This_ Fageol sales and service plant has been organized to handle the special needs of truCk operators in thi"s terri- tory," said Baumgartner. "The factory is less than 100 miles away and brings to this section one of the most comp.lete service depots in Northern California. Transporta- tion problems have such ,complexity and vary so from dis- trict to district that a close c,ontact ls needed io be of great_ est_ help and assistance in showing the purchaser hJw to make the greatest profit out of his investment.,'

A most successful open house party was held at Concord by The Diamond Match Company on March 1 to celebrate the completion of the building of their yard on a new site at that point.
The company has been in business at Concord since September, 1928, when they,purchased the Tilden Lumber & Mill Company's yard, which being outside the city limits was not suited to the merchandising plans of the company. They therefore acquired a site at the corner of Willow Pass Road and East Street on the main highway between Oakland and Antioch.
On this site they built a new store room, offices and sheds late last fall, and moved in Tanuarv 1. The new store is right on the corner. The walls and ceilings of the store are covered with Celotex, while the office walls are covered with Schumite Plaster Wall Board and Laux-Tex finish, giving a beautiful effect.
The slore contains an exhibit of Diamond Imperial builtin-fixtures, and an attractive display of Pabco Multi-Service Paint, roofing, builders' hardware and nails. A glass partition between the office and store room gives a clear view from the offi,ce to all parts of the store.
Henry Baly, pioneer Los Angeles banker, died March 8, 1930, at his home in San Fernando after a two weeks' illness. Mr. Baly first came to Los Angeles in 1875. Four years later he moved to Kansas, returning to San Pedro in 1886 and entering the employ of the Southern Pacific Company. A few years later he went into the banking business.
, Disposing of his banking interest in 1919, Mr. Baly moved to San Fernando. where he launched the San Fernando Lumber Company, the San Fernando Building & Loan Company and the branch there of the Bank of Italy. He remained active until stricken with his fatal illness.
Mr. Baly leaves his widow, Mrs. Laura Curran Baly, three sons, J. C. Baly, R. C. Baly and Hal Baly, who is manager of the Consolidated Lumber Company, Los Angeles, and one daughter, Mrs. C. C. Knight.
The yard has a spur track connecting with the Sacramento Northern Railroad, and tram tracks leading into the yard, enabling lumber to be handled without the ule of trucks.
The response to the invitation to the open house party was most gratifying, more than 350 men and women signing the register. Each lady received a Sugar Pine bread board as a souvenir, and 6" and 12" rules were also given to the ladies and cigars to the men. Fully 500 Concord school children also registered, each being given choice of a balloon or a whistle which carried the advertisement of The Diamond Match Company.
In the evening the Concord Band played selections in the driveway, and after listening to the music the large crowd reassembled for the registration prize drawing. The prizes included a medicine case, two ironing boards and an orchard ladder, all made in the company's Chico factory; several cans of enamel, and paint brushes.
Ira E. Brink, superintendent of retail yards, acted as Master of Ceremonies.
C. W. Foreman is manager of the Concord yard, and Mr. Barnes is yard salesman.
