How Lumber Looks

Reflecting the continuance of activity in the building industry^throughout the Pacific Coast in February, an inciease of 26..31 per cent in building permits for 90 cities in eleven western states and British Columbia last month over the corresponding month of 1938, was shown in the Western Month- Iy Building Survey prepared by H. R. Baker & Co. of San Francisco.

A- total. of _1O,514 permits for these 90 cities produced a total -of $18,682,320 in February, 1939, compared-with 8,456 permits totaling $16,044,598 in February, 1i38.

Let me live out my years in heat of blood, Let me die drunken with the dreamer's wine; Let me not see this soul house built of mud

Go toppling to the dust, a broken shrine. Let me go quickly, like a candle light Snuffed out just at the hey-day of its glow; Give me high noon, and let it then be night; Thus would I go.

And grant that when I face the grisly thing, My song may echo down the great perhaps; Let me be as a tune-swept fiddle string, That feels the master melody-and snaps.

*:B*

I've fo,rgotten, I'm ashamed to say, who wrote the above. But isn't it a grand statement of how the average thinking man feels about that great final mystery? So many times in the past few years I have seen good men and true, good friends whom I loved, "Go toppling to the dust-a broken shrine," and f can think of nothing more pitiful. .,Give me high noon, and let it then be night." That's my song, too. lc lr {<

I've been reading of a lot of the crack-pot schemes of legislation that are being offered our law-making bodies the country over. Truly, the political drug store,is overloaded with panaceas. Not since the starry flag of freedom was first unfurled over this federation of states has there ever been a time when such a multitude of strange nostrums and isms have been thrust upon the public gaze, all of them aiming in some peculiar fashion to usher in the millennium. As I read the lists and their contents I seriously ponder and wonder whether or not this land of the free and the home of the brave has not become in some manner mentally emasculated. ***

Financial and economic follies, built so.lely on desire to create something out of thin air, beyond the reach of reason and in no wise amenable to the laws of logic, have become as common as pig tracks around an East Texas schoolhouse. Political nostrums as dangerous as a bottle of nitroglycerine in the hands of a baby, abound. Let us kneel and pray that there may be found in our various law-making bodies sufficient men of intelligence and courage and patriotism to successfully take up the gage of battle against

the tides of ignorance and crackpotism. Is it any wonder that people who possess property or money pull ever deeper into their holes, frightened at such wantonness?

**t<

No argument is necessary to prove how scared money owners are. All the voices now crying aloud out of Washington testify to the fact of the money-jam. To break that jam is now the chief effort of all the powers of the federal administration, since it is admittedly the idleness of our private money that continues the idleness of our workers. But a few figures are very illuminating, like the following: Take the relationship between our national bank deposits and loans outstanding, as an amazing evidence of what is going on. In 1933 bank deposits totaled 37 billions of dollars, and loans outstanding 22 billions. In 1934 deposits had grown to 41 billions, and loans had slumped to 2l billions. See the trend? In 1935 deposits had reached 45 billions, and loans were then just 20 billions. , People were sticking their money away in banks, and the percentage of it that was loaned to individuals and private business was declining steadily. Now we have 1936. We find deposits have reached 51 billions, and loans are still just 20 billions. In 1937 deposits are 53 billions, and loans have grown a little, are now 22 billions, but small indeed in comparison with the idle money. In 1938 deposits are 52 billions, and loans have shrunk to 21 billions, as the new depression set in.

***

Today the proportions are no better although I have not the last minute figures at hand. Deposits, kind friends, are back to where they were before the depression. But instead of these billions being out working in all the channels of trade and of industry, they are frozen harder than the North Pole in the shape of cash on hand and government bonds in the bank vaults. And either cash or bonds might as well not exist as far as enervating and financing new business or putting people to work, are concerned.

The idle cash and idle bonds in the bank vaults today would employ every unemployed person in this country if invested in active business.

Savings accounts, the property of people of small and modest means, have grown rapidly and are the idlest of all the idle money. Every man I talk to has a new set of facts to offer me showing why a man with some money would be a sucker to invest it under present conditions. You can talk to men from ocean to ocean, and every thinking man will offer you some new ideas on that same subject. Taxes, labor, the NLRB, misuse of payroll taxes, waste, the public debt, all these things interpreted in thousands of ways, are on the lips of those who own money. They see nothing to be gained, and everything to be lost, by attempting business hazards.

Have you ever talked to an employer who has been up against the National Labor Relations Board? If you want to discover human indignation in its most profound form, talk to one. .I believe the Wagner Act as administered at the present time has cost workers five million jobs. And I think that conservative. Every man you talk to can enumerate specific cases of men of means who have just quit trying to do business, and have put their money on the shelf instead. So idle money grows, and idle men continue on relief.

this way. If he makes the investment, and it meets with success, he may get a return of $10,00O a year for his hundred grand. But he is already in the 6ZVo income tax bracket. The $10,00O he makes takes the same rate, as it is added income. He pays $6,200 of the ten thousand to the government for income tax. If he lives in a state with a state income tax, they grab another bunch. The most he can get for his hundred grand is $3,800, and he may get much less. That assumes the business to be very successful. If it is NOT,-he, of course, takes all the hazards. Would such a man be interested, think you, in taking his money out of safe hiding places, and exposing it, and himself, to all the inconveniences that go with business today? Would you?

Many of the largest banks in the entire United States are almost entirely liquid, more so than ever before in history. And no flood of honeyed words about helping business is going to break the money jam. Words will never change the situation. All those spokesmen in Washington who are fooding the newspapers right now with their "appeasement of business" remarks, add one significant thing, the great social and economic reforms must not be interfered with.

South ern California Retailers Meet

Will Form New Southern Calilornia Retail Association-Hawlev W. \X/ilbur Discusses Tested Sellins Methods

A dinner meeting of Southern California retail lumberrnen rvas held at the Clark Hotel, Los Angeles, Friday evening, March 3, which was largely attended, over trvo hundred being present. Kenneth Smith presided.

E. C. Parker, vice.president, Southern District, California Retail Lumbermen's Association, announced the directors of the Southern District Executive Committee had voted to form an independent association to be known as the Southern California Retail Lumbermen's Asso.ciation u'hich rvill take in all the lumber groups in Southern California. He stated this move was recommended because the problems confronting the retail lumber business in Southern California were entirely different than those in the northern part of the state.

The nerv ASsociation rvill hold membership in the California Retail Lumbermen's Association which will look after such matters as National and State legislation, trade prornotion program which the National Retail Lumber Dealt'rs Association is carrying on, etc.

IJnder the new setup, the Southern California association u'ill have a man at Sacramento on legislation matters, continue to be affiliated with the National association, participate in the annual State convention, and also carry on studies relating to costs, unfair competition, stabilization progran, distribution, labor relations, etc.

The organization plans of the Southern California retailers' association will be announced later.

Flarvley W. Wilbur, president of the Merchandising Institute, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, and general manag'er, Wilbur Lumber Company, West Allis, Wis., was the principal speaker of the evening.

Mr. Wilbur ouilined tl.re Tested Selling Nlethods program of the I\[erchandising Institute which is the result of three years' study by lumber and building material dealers who planned and made it possible.

"The building industry is mobilized to do a better selling job," he said, "and Tested Selling N{ethods is designed to

help every dealer increase sales and profits. You get actual solutions of selling problems."

"Doing a real selling job makes fun out of selling," Mr. Wilbur continued.

Tested Selling Methods is issued in eight monthly sections. The cost of the program is $28 for each man enrolled, and they receive a complete series of texts, the sales problems, and the services of the entire stafi conducting the program. Each dealer who enrolls three or more of his men receives the cornplete series of sales meeting guides.

Tested Selling Methods is in no way a correspondence course, Mr. Wilbur stated. The sales problems are simply answered "yes" or "no." These are sent in and graded, the iclea being to let the employer knor,v hou' the rnen are getting along with the program.

The Merchandising Institute is composed of the follorving associations: National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and affiliated state and regional associations; National Lumber Manufacturers Association and affiliated regional associations; Red Cedar Shingle Bureau ; Insulation Board Institute, and Asphalt Shingle and Roofing Institute.

Frank Curran, well-known Southern California lumberman was called on, ancl John Wormhoudt, retail lumber dealer from lowa, was introducecl by John W. F'isher, Santa N{onica retailer.

Lumber Could Talk

By Jack Dionne

II lumber could tclk, I leel thct it would scry something like this:

I ccure from cr tree thcrt siood mciestic on cr hillside. I stood sentinel there when the lorests ol this grect lcnd were untouched by the hcnd oI the woodsmqn.

I recred my top brqnches into the glory of the sunlight by dcy, qnd drcrnk deep in the dews oI evening. Generctions pcssed while still I grew; cnd lurther genercrtions hcve come cnd gone since I beccme one ol the big trees ol the forest. I seemed to be cr thing cpcrt, c thing eternal, so slow crnd watchful seemed the hcmd of Providence thct lqshioned me.

The llowers ol m<rny springrimgs ccme, crnd bloomed, crnd died, and were no more; yet I wcrs chcngeless. The grcsses on the hillside ccure lorth through countless springs, grew, withered, died, cmd discppeared. Yet I remcrined. The wintry blcsts blew lutile cgcinst my towering strength,' the gentle aummer breezes larured my lcrzy boughs,' crnd crutumn colors through endless Indicrn Summers bedecked the woods crround me. And still I stood, unchcrnged, cand unimpressed.

Then one dcry there ccme men with cxe crnd scrw; crnd I lell crcshing my lull length upon the ground where my shcrdow hcd lcrllen lor crges. The trcaedy oI my dismemberment and disruption lollowed. Todcry, L who stood upon the hillside while genercrtions ccme crnd discrppecrred, cnrd whose children cnrd children's children lollowed lhcri sellscrme pcrth-<rm only L[IMBER.

My destiny is to go out inlo the world piecemecrl, thqt men mcy fcshion me into plcrces oI shelter. Thct is my lcte. But to those men who tore me lrom my plcrce in the sun cnd flung me prostrcrte with their devices; who ruthlessly tore down the mighty bulk thcrt the winds oI God hcd beqt cgcinst lor ceniuries, I would scy these things:

Honor me lor whct I hqve been" crnd for whct I will be. Send me not lightly or thoughtlessly forih into the world without c chosen mission. God never built me through cll those yecrs cnd preserved me Irom cll those countless storms, without crn AIM-cr PLAN. IIE surely hqd some gregt work lor mL to do. Therelore you, who hcrve humbled me, find me thcrt mission. See thct the sons oI men know well ol the mighty uselulness thcrt God Himsell hcs built into my thews qnd sinews. Send me Iorth, not cr vcrgrcrnt or cr mcrverick, but ccrrve lor me the fitting destiny ihcrt my strength qnd worth deserve. Scy to the sons oI men thct the Mighty Power thcrt reared me through the cges hcs tempered me to do the work of cges,' thct I mcy well be trusted to shelter cnd protect men crnd their possessions cs eterncrlly as I stood upon my lormer hillside.

THAT is my plec. Respect me. Direct me. Introduce me littingly. Give me proud work to do. I DESER\IE IT.

HER GIFT

Never to see her wondrous smile again, She took my hand, she kissed me with her eyes, We can't go on, she said; I laughed. She lied. She always lied. I dared not question, Was afraid to know why she turned back, While I went on alone, But I have kept her with me as I go. In tall imperious trees whose fingers reach appealingly, To grasp the blue of space, in cool, deep scented grasp, In rippling brooks that silver little pebbles in their way, In chattering, perfumed crowds that jostle, frown, and pass, In hornely, quiet rooms where friendship is, I feel her presence, almost hear hir voice.

The wind and sun will come to me from her, Her eyes will shine from a pale corn flower's heart, A book shall be her message, and a song Her whispered benediction. Ah, Love, I could not keep you, but you gave A greater, finer thing than that you kept.

-H. B. D.

WHY WE LIVE

We live to learn, that we may learn to live. We welcome good books as we welcome good friends. We hunger for knowledge that will broaden our mental horizon and dig deep into the well of learning for a better understanding of interesting people. We follow unknown jungle trails and tramp burning deserts that we may see, hear, and know. We bend every effort for a fuller, richer, happier Iife. Yet how little effort we put forth for a SAFER life.

-Floyd Gibbons.

HIS CHOICE

Doctor: "Now, Sonny, this little operation won't be bad at all. Just take some deep breaths, and everything will be O.K."

Tough Kid: "Aw, Doc, I ain't worryin'about that. But lissen! I don't want no baby, see? I want a pup."

IF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED

Don't contradict people, even if you are sure you are right.

Don't be inquisitive about the affairs of even your most intimate friend.

Don't underrate anything because you don't possess it. Don't believe that everybody else in the wo ld is happier than you.

Don't conclude that you have never had any opportunities in life.

Don't be rude to your inferiors in social position. Don't repeat gossip, even if it does interest a crowd. Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile. Learn to mind your own business. -The Friend.

ANIMILES

A balky mule has four-wheel brakes, A billy goat has bumpers, The firefy has a bright spotlight, And rabbits are puddle-jumpers. Camels have balloon-tired feet, And carry spares of what they eat, But still I think that nothing beats The kangaroos with rumble seats.

"A statesman, my son, wants to do sornething for his country. A politician wants his country to do something for him."

PRECUT \TALL FRAMING

By Kenneth Smith Secretary-Manager, Lumber and Allied Products ln*itute, Los Angeles

In his addrcss, "Foundations-Is Your Business Founded on the Rock of 'Identifiable' Standards ? Or on the Sands of All Lumber is 'Just Lumber'?" delivered at the thirty-sixth annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association at Portland, Oregon, on February 23, L939, Kenneth Smith discussed the Precut Wall Framing program developed by his organization in the Los Angeles territory, which follows in part:

"'We have, after nearly two years of work, developed a Precut Wall Framing program which ultilizes 2 inch No. 3 in a thoroughly practical manner that is a natural outgrowth of our ten year fight to prevent the substitution of No. 3 for No. 1 and No. 2, and to prevent the misuse of lumber by jerry builders, which we are confident is going to be the greatest contribution to the disposal of the surplus production of No. 3 and to the ultimate better utilization, or more complete utilization, of the log than anything which has been offered the industry in a dozen years.

"In 1936 we participated, along with the local manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and the representatives of all other types of building materials, in a very ambitious study conducted by the Construction Industries Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, on how to lower the cost of small dwellings. This was an outgrowth of th'e Committee's famous Federal Housing Administration campaign and of the industry-wide drive to stamp out jerry building.

"The findings of that Committee presented many practical possibilities for cost reduction, principally in the direction of eliminating waste by designing for standard lengths of lumber and stock sizes of doors and windows' One definite recommendation was that the cost of construction of small dwellings could be substantially lowered by cutting framing to lengths at the mill or by power saw on the job.

"After this report was published in 1937, T. C. Combs of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, started out to find what he could do with Precut Framing and particularly with the precutting of wall framing from No. 3 Douglas fir, which was first actively advocated, I believe, by Clint Laughlin, secretary, Southern California Wholesale Lumber Association, and which appeared to all of us the most practical of the several possibilities, particularly because it ofiered a feasible and sensible way to utilize the increasing quantities of 2 inch random No- 3 with which the manufacturers continually overstocked us.

"Harry T. Kendall, general manag'er' Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, in a brilliant analysis of our industry before the Hardwood Association last year, emphasized that the road to progress for the manufacturers and, naturally, for the retailer who insists upon selling lumber, lies in the di-

rection of finding a way to reduce the average of $35 per M, which it costs to utilize lumber, after it leaves the hands of the dealer, rather than spending all of the executive energ'y of the manufacturing industry in trying to reduce the cost of manufacture 25c per thousand.

"In a recent progress report, Mr. Combs developed the fact that, on the experimental job which we had been running in Los Angeles, using shop cut wall framing, with some 75 carpenters using it for the first time in their lives, the savings in labor averaged $30 per 5 room house. This amounted to $10 per M board measure on the wall framittg. A minimum of 20 minutes was saved in framing each door or window. The net result was that Precut studs, plus Precut bundled short framing, resulted in a 4O% reduction in labor cost in wall construction. This ties in most definitely with the major industry problem as outlined by Mr. Kendall, of reducing the cost of using lumber 'and with the great need of the producers for a substantial outlet for low-grade dimension.

"Let me give you a quick picture of h,ow very substantial an outlet this is, or can be developed to be. fn our market alone there was an estimated 5,800,000, 8-foot studs or some 30 million feet used last year. Add another 20 million feet to this for the wall framing members which are shorter than studs (about 2 f.eet of short members for each 3 feet of studs) and then add to that the possibilities if it becomes standard practice in all of the markets served by the northwest manufacturers and you commence to have a picture of how very substantial an outlet for No. 3 the adoption of this practice of Precut Wall Framing can become.

Kenneth Snith

"The great merit of the plan is its extreme simplicity. It simplifies the estimating of the contractors in the first place and is so simple a shop operaton in the second place that it has been successfully done in all types of plants. It Iends itself to the most modern streamlined shop cutting plant and it can be done in the smallest yard that has a mill, in idle time.

"The rough frame of an average one-story, five-room house, contains over 2,O0o'pieces of lumber. The walls contain one-third of the board footage and represent threefourths of dll the pieces in the entire job. More than half of them are less than 7 feet long. The average length of all members shorter than studs is less than 2 feet, 6 inches. Half of the wall space is doors and windows which require, on the averag'e, 1O pieces each. Cut these in the shop out of No. 3, bundle the 'pieces for each window and door together, bundle runs of bracing and convenient parcels of fire blocking, and you deliver to the contractor about 250 or 300 studs (a quarter of which were developed out of No. 3 while cutting the shorter pieces) 12 bundles of windows, 12 of doors, 2l of bracing and 17 of fire blocking, out of which he builds his wall frame for $30 less labor cost than by using random length No. 1 or No. 2. The sole thing necessary to make Precut Wail Framing a stock operation is the adoption of a standard stud length. We have adopted in Los Angeles 7 foot, 9 inch as the standard after careful consultation with the contracting fraternity.

"The practical feature of the program is that it leaves the same wide latitude to the designer, except for ceil-

ing height and restricting himself to standard stock sizes of doors and windows, neither of which interferes with the development of any floor plan. It is hailed by practical contractors and students alike as an outstanding contribution to building technique and to the reduction of the cost of the small dwelling. The Architectural Forum for December carried a two page story of the progress of the program to that date and made the statement that it is universally applicable. They are going to fbllow this with further studies. In addition to this, it was featured in a conference of the nation's most important technicians in the field of building at Yale University in January of this year.

"You may have noticed a picture of this Precut Wall Framing exhibit in Life's recent story of this important conference.

"As a result of these studies, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has issued two manuals which are thoroughly descriptive. One is for the use of the retail dealer or the manufacturer and describes the production process. The other is for the use of the contractor and describes its use in construction. They describe the proposed standards and provide all of the information that is now available from the experiments which we have been making in Los Angeles for both shop production and job construction. You can get them from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 364 Stuart Building, Seattle. Just ask them for the two manuals of "Precut Framing for Light Frame Walls."

"What is needed now is general adoption in the field. During the past year, a tremend,ous amount of effort has been put into proving the practical possibilities of Precut Framing through shop cutting. This has been accomplished. From now on the task is to sell the idea to the dealers, who will do much of the precutting and who have to visualize the possibilities before it can be sold to contractors and project planners.

"A number of large builders have already adopted Precut Wall Framing."

Outdoor Plywood is Used Extensively at Golden Gate International Exposition

Plywood plays an important part at the Golden Gate Exposition on Treasure Island in both conventional design and ultra modern buildings, rvith streamlined, rounded corners,

Among the most outstanding is -the Federal Building, which employs Super-Harbord outdoor plywood for the outside covering and regular plyrvood for the interior walls. Forty-eight columns-one for each state in the Unioncharacterize this structure, which contains several rooms housing government displays. The columns are 104 feet high, placed in four rows o{ 12 columns each, with the open colonnacle in the center 100 feet high and 265 feet Iong.

Many of the buildings utilized, in part at least, SuperHarbord hotpressed plywood. Ship-lapped edges forming giant tiles characterize the principal construction detail of a number of the buildings. Full advantage of the extra bracing strength has been capitalized upon with resulting economy of frame construction.

Some of the structures on Treasure Island using the outdoor plywood are: Mission Trails court, Southern Counties building, Livestock building, Dairy Industry, Floriculture, Recreation, Coast Guarcl, Coliseum, Press, Women's Club,

Netherlands, Brazilian Pavilion, Candid Camera Shop, Oak Barbecue, Do-nut Corporation, Hydrosphere, Crillo's Kitchen and Cocktail Bar, Shooting Gallery and Federal building.

All the countries and islands of the Pacific have joined hands and are contributing their treasures.

Japan has a display valued at one and one-half million dollars, consisting of feudal castle shipped from Japan in 2,000 separate pieces, and which is reconstructed without benefit of screws and nails.

A new Chinese Village, valued at $150,00O will intrigue many eastern visitors.

There will be representatives and exhibitions from every part of the Pacific-Central and South America, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji Islands, Hawaii, Dutch East Indies, Johore and Philippine Islands.

The Fair opened February 18 and last 288 days.
