No grading system can indicate the texture of the wood or the stand'ards of searoning "ttd manufacture. These factors are important to the builder arrd the industrial user. The texture is developed by Nature's pattern of growth. Moisture content and uniformity of manufacture depend upon the method of milling, handling and shipment.
There is often a greater difference in size, texture, weight, resin content and limb growth between trees of the same species gro\,vn in different localitieg than th6 difterence between botanical species.

I knew Robert A. Long. And because I knew him and liked hirn and he liked me, I am a better man than I would otherwise have been. He was a knightly gentleman, a gallant and inspired leader, and a h"ppy, helpful friend. He has gone on another route, and I am still traveling this one, but those things that he left with me, will be with me always, for they are indestructible as the name and fame of Robert Long.
Mr. Long was essentially a helpful man. Some day I am going to prepare and preach a sermon on the subject of HELPFULNESS. Truly it is the most dazzling star in the firmament of human characteristics. Helpful people are God's most gracious contributions to society. A man may possess no great gifts of mentality, fiiotl€/, or influence; but if he be HELPFUL he stands shoulder-high above the gifted, and the rich, and the powerful who lack that matchless spiritual inclination. The grandest thing on earth is a helpful human; and the saddest parody on humanity is he who has the gifts, the money, or the power to help, but lacks the willingness, the understanding, or whatever the consciousness may be that says to 3 [sp4n..BE HELPFUL.'' ***
One of the finest things I ever heard said by one man about another was: "He is so busy appreciating others that he has no tirne to appreciate himself."
It was a so-called l"fidJ *" ""rU this: "It is wise to so live that death may be faced serenely; if there is another world the best way to prepare for it is to make the best of this; and if there be no other world, the best way to live HERE is to be happy and make others happy." ***
A friend just handed me an advertisement that just naturally grabs the spotlight and runs off with it. It is issued by The East Texas National Bank in the little city of Palestine, Texas, and after detailing their financial statement the ad reads: "OIJR LOAN POLICY. We have consistently through advertisements and in many other ways let it be known that we are and have been at all times prepared and anxious to make loans, when such are needed for useful purposes, for the advancement of the commercial, agricultural, and other worthy interests of this community, and for the creation, operation, and continuation of all en-
terprises that in our judgment should be encouraged and helped." Now what do you think of that? ***
Three loud and rousing cheers for that bank in Palestine. Some of that leaven scattered throughout the land would put this over-advertised depression high up on the shelf with the cold pie. And, why should not the good seed take root in Palestine? Wasn't it in Palestine that the greatest forward thrust in human history found its inception? :!*{.
"Termitesr" says a wood treating authority, "occur in three groups." There you are ! Highly organized and always hold group meetings ! No wonder they get results ! ***
I get mighty well fed up on this "build on the ruins of the past" line of junk. There is no more depressing thought with regard to our present situation than the sad folderol that the past is a ship that has gone on the rocks and been beaten to pieces by the sea, and we've got to build us a new ship. Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth. V[/e are really just in the trough of a wave. We rode high for awhile on the crest, now we sink low in the trough. And, foolish folk would have us think it is the bottom of the sea, and not just the bottom of the wave that we've struck. And, we'll swing high again one of these days. And, being just foolish humans, we'll do the same things then that we did before. And, when the time swings round again, we'll drop down into the trough of the wave again. We always have. We always will. t*{.
It looks to me like we're not so very far from the crest, again. These things are like gefins. They run their course, and, if the patient stands the siege, the germs die and the patient lives. We've been getting better since the banks folded up last March. For three years we'd been sitting shivering, fearing for the banks. Then, when they all folded up for awhile and opened again, the national mentality and morale rose like a bubble. And, we've been steadily improving from that day to this.
Continued reduction ., *"tOaa hours and increase of pay is, in the great majority of industries, sadly impractical. In the first place, if all we are going to do is continue to divide EXISTING employment among a continually greater number of people, we accomplish nothing toward
genuine recovery. Such a plan is purely artificial; as much so as CWA. What we have got to have is more employERS. Just to keep heaping the loads on the saddlegalled backs of present employers, cannot possibly be the answer to our prayer. New jobs and new kinds of jobs is the crying need. Don't say to the money now invested in industry, "Carry a bigger burden," but say to the billions of idle money in the country-"Qet to work and carry some of the load and put some men to work or we'll tax the living Hell out of YOU." ***
Away back last surnmer someone declared that within a year the codes would make us a nation of chiselers and spies. Looks to a country boy like that prophet wouldn't have to wait the full year to begin saying, "I told you so." Just as certainly (but infinitely more speedily) as the dry law made us a nation of drinkers and law-breakers, so must the attempt to legislate harnesses for business make us a nation of dodgers. Surely, none but the blind can think otherwise. Only as a temporary expedient-like a shot in the arm in time of great distress-has it merit. ***
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, American Ace of Aces, was not only denied the right to speak his mind on things political but was soundly lectured by one of our political pygmies in official Washington the other day. Of course Rickenbacker only shot down thirty-six German planes in the
world war. What score a man would have to shoot to be allowed to speak his honest American mind in official Washington these days? In other words, what's par on that course?
The three leading buyers of newspaper advertising space during 1933 were Camel, Chesterfield, and Lucky Strike. And none of them are complaining about the depression, or wondering when business is going to get back to normal. ***
"The anonymous letter is never forgivable," says a well known writer. I'm not so sure. How about the perfectly good guy who has B.O. and is blissfully unconscious of it, and whose "best friends won't tell him." I'm inclined to think that if ever there is a case where the anonymous writer may be forgiven, that's it.
"Do Colleges Prepare For Life?" is the caption of an editorial that lies before me. Who was it said that colleges are places where "pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed?" And, the Rev. Sam Jones used to say that he never sent his boys to college because he "would rather have them reading their ABC's up in Heaven, than reading Greek down in Hell." Of course I don't agree with such chaff. But the most solid impression that I DO get out

of our modern university education is the late age at which boys finish their studies, and try to make their start in the world. At a time of life when the men of half a century ago had become inured to the storms of existence' our young men of today step out as fledglings. I think it's a disadvantage.
I get'a mighty kick always out of reading the vagabond wanderings of my friend Tom Dreier, advertising and publicity man of originality and flavor who lives in Winchester, Massachusetts. He says what he thinks-and there's fun in doing that. No form of human life gets less fun out of their work than fence riders. ***
Tom Dreier spends a lot of his writing time poking fun at frauds. And, the world is so well filled with palpable frauds that he lacks not for targets. I have just been reading one of his editorials in which he tears to pieces the religion of "hell-raisers who feel old age creeping on them
and become militantly religious." He takes the position of the rhymist in the old doggerel that says:
"King Solomon and King David In youth led wayward lives, Each had a few affinities, As well as numerous wives; But when old age came rolling in With all its aches and qualms, Then Solornon wrote the Proverbs, And David wrote the Psalms." ***
All of which reminded me of the lady who at a dinner party once found herself seated next to the great Frenchman Voltaire, he of the well-stored mind, the flashing wit, and the rapier-like tongue. The discussion turned to religion, and the lady ventured the assertion that in recent years she had found herself becoming deeply interested in religion. "I regret to hear you say so, Madam," said Voltaire. "Why?" asked the lady, surprised. "Because," said Voltaire, "f have noticed that when woman ceases to be acceptable to man, she turns to God."
Charles G. Bird, manager of the Stockton Lumber Co., Stockton, Calif., was re-elected president of the Central Valley Lumbermen's Club, at a meeting of the board of directors held at the Hotel Stockton, on Thursday evening, March 15. Other officers chosen were W. S. Tillson, Modesto Lumber Co., Modesto, vice president, and W. O. Mashek, United Lumber Yards, Inc., Modesto, treasurer. Mr. Tillson and Mr. Bird were elected to represent the club on the California Lumbermen's Council.
Frederic S. Palmer, manager of the Pine department of the Santa Fe Lumber Co., San Francisco, exclusive distributors for Kesterson Lumber Company's Ponderosa Pine, returned March 10 from a five weeks' Eastern business trip.
Mr. Palmer feels optimistic about prospects for Eastern business. Eastern dealers expect business will be better this year than for several years past, he states, and Eastern wholesalers who handle industrial business also report an improvement.
Incidentally, he was glad to get back to California, after the record cold weather he experienced in the East. It was 18 below zero when he was in Boston, and the thermometer registered a SGyear record of 24 below when he visited Toronto, Ontario.
Charles S. Tripler recently resigned as secretary of the Central Valley Lumbermen's Club, Stockton, to take the position of secretary-manager of the East Bay Lumbermen's Club, Oakland, succeeding C. R. Buchanan, who recently resigned.
Mr. Tripler is well known in the San Francisco Bay district, having been formerly secretary of the San Francisco Retail Lumbermen, and prior to that was associated with the Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co. for many years. He took up his new duties March 15.
Clement Fraser, Loop Lumbbr & Mill Co., Alameda, is president of East Bay Lumbermen's Club. H. K. Vincent, E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Oakland, is vice president, and Clyde Speer, Zenith Mill & Lumber Co., Oakland, is treasrlrer. Offices are in the Ray Building, Oakland.
George W. Gorman, sales manager of the Hammond Lumber Co., San Francisco, returned March 2l from a lo-day trip to Oregon. Mr. Gorman made the trip by automobile. He attended the price correlation meeting in Portland March 14, as one of the representatives of the Redwood Division, and then paid a visit to the sawmill of the Hammond-Tillamook Lumber Co. at Garibaldi, Ore.
He made the return journey by way of the Redwood Highway, and visited the company's mill at Samoa, Calif. He was accompanied on the trip by his wife and daughter.
Washington, D. C., March 8.-Harry L. Gilchrist, Major General, U. S. Army, retired, has been appointed an administration member of the Lumber Code Authority by the National Recovery Administrator. He is the third appointee named to represent the Administration without vote in the Lumber Code Authority. Those designated previously are F. A. Silcox, head of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Ariculture, and A. C. Dixon, formerly a lumber manufacturer of Eugene, Ore., and a former president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
Major General Gilchrist has no interests in the lumber and timber products industries. As a youth, however, he served a three-year apprenticeship in the planing mill of the Gobeille Pattern & Construction Co., Cleveland, O. His military career followed his graduation from Western Reserve lJniversity at Cleveland, and has included 36 years of commissioned service in the regular army. He was in command of the first U. S. expeditionary forces to participate in the World \Mar, and following the Armistice was for two years in command of the American-Polish Expedition in Poland. On March D,t9D, he was appointed Chief of Chemical Warfare Service with the rank of Major General. He was retired with that rank on Februarv 1. 1934.
The production quota for the Redwood Division for the second quarter of the year was set at 98,00O,00O feet.
L. R. PUTMAN VISITS S. F.
L. R. "Dick" Putman, marketing editor of the American Builder, and former secretary-manager of the Southern .Pine Association, recently spent a few days in San Francisco on business.
Louis Malone, production manager of The Pacifrc Lumber Company, Scotia, Calif., died in St. Luke's Hospital, San Francisco, March 13, of kidney trouble, after an illness of more than four months.
At his bedside were his wife, Mrs. Grace Malone, and his two sons, Robert and Edward Malone.
Mr. Malone was born in Chicago, December 31, 1884, and came to California with his parents when he was one year old.
He went to work for The Pacific Lumber Company in their Wilmington yard in 1905, and left there to come to Scotia when the Southern California yard was closed out in 1916. In the 18 years that have passed since then he rose to the position of manager of production at the Scotia plant.
It would be hard to find words to express the high regard in which Louis Malone was held by all of the personnel of the organization from the president down to the youngest employee. Whatever might be said would be an understatement.
Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, Friday, March 16, and interment was in Forest Lawn Cemeterv. Glendale.
A 50,000-barrel storage tank is being erected by George H. Corse & Associates at the Port of Stockton which marks the beginning of a new industry there when gasoline and petroleum products will be shipped to the Port by freighters and tankers from Southern California and Gulf ports for distribution in Stockton and the interior cities. The supervision of the building program is under the direction of L. A. Elsener, San Francisco representative of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Works.
Washington, March. 17.-The lumber industry was accorded the distinction today of being the first industry group to receive the full measure of industry self-government authorized by the National Recovery Administration. This distinction took the form of an order signed by Gen. Johnson, giving the Lumber Code Authority and its administrative agencies full authorization to handle trade practice and labor complaints "in the first instance." This action is recognition on the part of General Johnson of the efiectiveness of the organization for compliance approved by the Lumber Code Authority at its last meeting here. The plan of organization involves the establishment of a national Trade Complaints Committee of seven members and a national Labor Complaints Committee of not less than four nor more than eight members. Half of the membership oi the Labor Complaints Committee, rePresenting employers, will be named by the Lumber Code Authority. The other half, representing employees, will be named by the Administrator from nominations made by the NRA Labor Advisory Board. The Committee will select an arbiter who will preside and vote whenever the committee is evenly divided on any matter before it.
Under these national committees will be regional committees constituted in a like manner. In the Trade Practice Division a regional committee will be established in each of the administrative agencies of the Lumber Code Authority. Seven regional Labor Complaints Committees will have jurisdiction over geographical areas.
"This extension of authority by the Administrator," declared Carl W. Bahr, Secretary of the Lumber Code Authority, "is not only gratifying because it expedites the handling of complaints, which without such authotization would have to be filed with State Compliance Directors, but because it shows the approval by the Administration of the manner in which self-government, fully representative, has been achieved in the lumber and timber products industries.
"In the exercise of this grant of extended authority the Lumber Code Authority proposes, first, to undertake an intensive campaign of education so that the 27,0AO establishments and half million employees under the jurisdiction of the Lumber and Timber Products Code will be fully advised as to their rights, privileges, and responsibilities. Through this means and through the pressure of opinion within the industry the Authority hopes to prevent violations of the code. Of course, when such measures fail, it will certify cases of flagrant violators to the government enforcement agencies for prosecution."
The California Wholesale Lumber Association moved into new quarters at 806 Merchants Exchange Building, 465 California Street, San Francisco, April 1. S. M. Hauptman is general manager of the Association.
R. R. Leishman of the California Redwood Association has returned to Los Angeles following a visit to the Association's offices in San Francisco, and will set up adequate machinery for the California Redwood Association inspection and the issuing of certificates in accordance with the new ruling of the Los Angeles Building and Safety Commissioners. The Los Angeles office will be in the Architects Building, Fifth and Figueroa Streets, with Mr. Leishman in charge.
The provisions of Section 106 of the Building Ordinance of the city of Los Angeles have been construed to require all lumber, including siding and sheathing below the level of the first sub-floor, to be pressure treated with creosote, except that:
Ail exposed siding below the level of the first floor may, in lieu of being pressure creosoted, be Clear All Heart Redwood as graded by the California Redwood Association, and each piece shall bear its identifying grade mark and be certified by said Association.
Such siding shall have one or more coats of approved creosote, 'applied to the back or unexposed side after placing.
Unexposed siding (sheathing), which is to be diagonally placed, shall be Grade No. 1 Heart Common Redwood, properly grade marked and certified to by the California Redwood Association, and this siding below the first floor level shall have one or more coats of approved creosote applied to the back or unexposed side after placing.
These provisions will become effective April 1, 1934.
Fred Eckert will be the supervising inspector. The inspection work of the Los Angeles office will be under the supervision of the Grading Committee of the California Redwood Association which includes Herb Klass of The Pacific Lumber Company, and C. W. Broback of the Union Lumber Company.
Washington, March l5.-Late advices from the United Kingdom regarding the reduction in the authorized quota of Russian lumber in the British market for the coming season state that the amount permitted, 350,000 standards, or 693,000,000 feet, is a reduction of 100,000 standards, or 198,000,000 feet, from the former quota of 450,000 standards, 891,000,000 feet.
Previous dispatches, which had given the amount of reduction as 850,00O standards, had caused apprehension in some quarters that the Russian lumber exporting organizations might exert an effort to divert large quantities of timber products to this country. However, official Russian advices declare that the U.S.S.R. does not consider the United States as a large potential market, but rather as one of the main future competitors of Russia.
Washington, D. C., March l9.-Hope that the President would take steps to force Federal purchasing agents to a strict compliance with existing codes when buying supplies was realized last Friday, when an executive order was issued which will make such compliance compulsory, as will be seen from its first paragraph:
"Al1 invitations to bidders hereafter promulgated by or in behalf of any executive department or independent establishment or other agency or instrumentality of the United States, including government owned and government controlled corporations (all of the foregoing being hereinafter described as agencies of the i[Jnited States), shall contain a provision to the effect that no bid will be considered unless it includes or is accompanied by a certificate duly executed by the bidder stating that the bidder is complying with and will continue to comply with each approved code of fair competition to which he is subject, and if engaged in any trade or industry for which there is no approved code of fair competition, then stating that as to such trade or industry he has become a party to and is complying with and will continue to comply with an agreement with the President under Section 4 (a) of the National Industrial Recovery Act."
Some such relief was sorely needed, as other buyers could hardly be expected to insist upon goods being manufactured and sold in full compliance with established codes while the Federal Government would take no determined stand.
The attention of the Lumber Code Authority had been called to a case in New England wherein a bidder, through error, quoted $4 per thousand under established minimum prices on a 'War Department proposal, and was awarded the contract. His error being called to his attention, the successful bidder asked permission to withdraw his bid and substitute another conforming to the law. He was informed that if he did not execute the contract which he had been awarded, he would become subject to damages for the breach thereof. Other cases, while not so flagrant as this, were known to have existed in considerable number. The President's order of March 14. however. will prevent recurrences.
In addition to the stipulations quoted above, the executive order specifies that no bid which does not comply with such requirements shall be considered or accepted. It also declares that the provisions of the order shall apply to all contracts and purchases authorized. by any state, municipal corporation, local subdivision, person or corporation in connection with projects to be carried out, wholly or in part with funds loaned or granted by any agency of the United States. Any person falsely certifying as to compliance may be punished by a $500 fine, six months in prison, or both.

I get lots of kick out of modernistic stories, concerning both the young and the old.
One I like is that of the marvelously beautiful young bride, so wispish, so angelic in her gown of gossamer white that she seemed to actually float down the church aislc at the very fashionable wedding. The foot of the altar was a bower of flowers and tfiere she stubbed her toe against a flower-pot, and was heard distinctly to exclaim to the Bishop who waited there to marry fuss-"f{61ry isn't that
And there is anottrer of the dear, white-haired, lovelylooking old grandma,.in her gown of rustling silk, sitting before tfie fire and knitting, while her young granddaughter watched her nimble and flying fingers with a sort of fascination.
"Grandma, why do you knit so fast?" asked the young one.
"Oh, just for the Hell of it," replied Grandma.
Washington, D. C., March 19.-The action of the Lumber Code Authority at its last meeting permitting the granting of reductions from established cost-protection prices in order to move particularly distressed stocks has already resulted in three applications from the Southern Pine Division and one from the Southern and Appalachian Hardwood Subdivision for relief under this new ruling.
In the case of two Southern Pine applications it was found upon investigation that the stocks were deteriorated and badly broken, having remained in pile three or four years. In both cases the mills had cut out and ceased manufacture. In one the Authority gtanted special relief to the extent of a price reduction not exceeding 25 per cent from established cost-protection schedules. In the other, varying differentials were authorized for each grade"
No action was taken with reference to the other two applications, one of which involved a request for a $2 per thousand leeway under current code prices on 200,000 feet of cottonwood, as the information submitted was insufficient to permit a decision without further investigation.
In applications of this kind the Authority must be certain as to the ownership of the lumber, its present condition, whether deteriorated or otherwise, and the danger from flood or other hazards.

Robert Alexander Long, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Long-Bell Lumber Company and one of the nationls leading lumbermen, died at Menorah hospital, Kansas City, M-o., early Thursday evening, March 15, 1934, followirrg an operation for an intestinal adhesion. He was 83 years of age. Mr. I-ong appeared in good health until Tuesday morning, March 13, when he became seriously ill and was taken to the hospital to undergo an operation. The day before he was at his desk as usual, attending to the affairs of the company.
Mr. Long was born on a farm near Shelbyville, Kentucky, December 17, 1850. He was a son of Samuel M. and Margaret K. (White) Long, the latter being a cousin of United States Senator Joseph S. C. Blackburn, and of Luke Pryor Blackburn who became governor of Kentucky. He attended the district school and then had a few months in a boys school at Shelbyville. On January 22, 1873, when he was 22 vears old, he left home for Kansas City carrying with hirn $700 in savings which he had made gathering hickory nuts and walnuts, stripping bluegrass, and clerking one winter in a country store. While in Kansas City he made his home with an uncle.
His first venture was operating a butcher shop in Kansas City. A year later,'1874, accompanied by his cousin, Robert White, and Victor Bell, son of the president of the bank where his uncle was cashier. he started for Columbus, Kansas, io invest his savings in wild grass hay which should have been valuable that year as the grasshoppers had eaten the field crops. They cut and placed in stacks some 30O tons of hay. They shipped in a few carloads of lumber to build a shed to press this hay under during the winter. The hay was cut too late, turned brown, and was sold at a loss, while lumber that was used to build the shed sold for more than the hay. Mr. Long had.been the active manager of the hay ventute, and when he was leaving Columbus several of the citizens who had bought the lumber from the shed asked him to come back and start a lumber yard.
Mr. Long returned to Kansas City, borrowed $8,000, and on April 30, 1875, opened a retail lumber yard at Columbus, Kansas, R. A. Long & Co. Mr. Long was the manager. His two partners, neither of them 2O years old, were inactive. The first year the firm made $800 and the second year $2,000.
Mr. Long married Ella M. Wilson, December 16, 1875. She was the daughter of George and Eliza Jane Wilson, of Chester County, Pa. At an early age, she came to Kansas with her widowed mother, four brothers and three sisters, and settled near Columbus. Mrs. Long died November 22, l92f,, at the residence in Kansas City, at the age of 74 years.
The firm of R. A. I-ong & Co. prospered and in 1884, Mr. Long and his younger partners, Robert White and Victor Bell, incorporated under the name of the Long-Bell
Lumber Company with a capital stock of $3@,000, of which half was paid up. Southern Kansas, Indian Territory and Northern Texas were then entering upon a period of development; railroads were being built, and the company extended its operations by establishing yards in other towns. In 1889, the company bought a small portable sawmill in the South and began to manufacture and wholesale lumber in a small way. In 1891, the offices of the company ryere moved to Kansas City. The R. A. Long Building at Tenth and Grand Streets, the first steel skeleton office building of consequence at Kansas City, was constructed between the years 1905 and lX)7. During the following years additional retail yards were added, new mills were acquired in the South, and the Long-Bell Lumber Company rose to eminence as the largest manufacturer of Southern Yellow Pine lumber.
Because the forest lands of the South were beginning to be depleted and in order to perpetuate the company, operations were extended to the Pacific Northwest. In l9N, the .company bought a large body of Douglas Fir timber located principally in Cowlitz and Lewis counties in the state of Washington. A millsite was selected at the confluence of the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers, upon which site have been erected large lumber manufacturing plants. Perhaps the most outstanding event, at least the most spectacular and enormous, in the career of Mr. Long has been the building of the new city of Longview, Washington. Here a modern'city has been built from the ground up according to a preconceived and well defined plan of city building. The young city celebrated its first birthday with a four-day pageant of progress during the summer of 1924, At that time it had a population of more than 5,000, with 281 business enterprises, a 6-story modern hotel, churches, factories and many fine homes. Mr. Long presented the city with a high school building and 35-acre q!te, costing in excess of $650,000, making the total of his personal gifts to Longview of nearly two million dollars.
Longview is located on tide water on the Columbia River and is a port of call for ocean going vessels. The city is served by three transcontinental railway systems, being on the main line of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Union Pacific Railways between Portland and Seattle, and is also served by the Pacific and Columbia River highways. The second highest bridge over navigable waters in the nation, across the Columbia River between Longview, Washington and Rainier, Oregon, was open for traffic on March 29, 1930.
Mr. Long was one of the organizers of the Missouri Association of lumber dealers, of which he later was a director. He also served at one time as president of the Southern Pine Association, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and was associated with numerous other organizations of lumbermen. On behalf of the lumbermen he responded to the address of
wel€ome extended to them by President Francis of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in 1904, and was among those who addressed the first Conservation C-o^n^gress called by President Roosevelt at Washin'gton in 1908.
At an early age Mr. Long became identified with the Christian Chur,ch, his Kansas City membership being with the Independence Boulevard Christian Church, one of the largest congregations of that denomination in the country. He has been president of the American Christian Missionary Society, the Brotherhood of Disciples of Christ, the Christian Board of Publications, and a trustee of the Bible College of Missouri. The National City Christian Church in Washington, D. C., dedicated in 193O, was headed by Mr. Long. He had been actively engaged in the "Men and Millions" movement and was a large contributor to it. He also devoted much of his time and wealth to personal, charitable and philanthropic work, and donated the major portion of money to build the Christian Hospital of Kansas City.
Mr. Long's benefactions were many, among the principal ones being: Longview Public Library and Robert A. Long High School with 35-acre campus, gifts to the city of Longview, Wash.; Independence Christian Church, Kansas City, large contributor; National City Christian Church, Washington, D. C., large contributor; Christian Board of Publications, St. Louis, gift; "Men and Millions" movement, contributor; Margaret K. Long school, Tokio, founder; Lake Sacajawea development (park beautification), Longview, Wash.; Christian Church hospital, Kansas City, ,contributor; Liberty Memorial, Kansas City, ,contributor; Longview Community church, Longview, Wash.; contributor to fund, also gave organ; Longview Memorial hospital, contributor.
Mr. Long was a very public spirited man and interested

You may take to your omce and hang on the wall, A motto as fine as its paint, But if you're a crook while you're playing the game
The motto won't make you a saint. You can plaster your placards all over the wall But this is the truth I announce, It isn't the rnotto you hang on the wall, It's the motto you live, that counts.
If the motto says smile-and you carry a frown, Do it now-and you linger and wait; If the motto says help-and you trample men down, If the motto says love-and you hate; You won't get away with the motto's you stall
For the truth will come up with a bounce, It isn't the motto you hang on the wallft's the motto you LIVE that counts.
The lady and her little boy went into the butcher shop, and as she waited for service the youngster looked about curiously at the various meat displays. Suddenly he saw something the like of which he had never encountered before. He grabbed his mother's arm and dragged her over to the end of the shop where the mystery lay upon a meat block, and asked-
"Mother, what on earth is that?"
"Tripe, my dear," replied the mother.
"Tripe?" he inquired, doubtfully.
"Yes, tripe,t' she said.
"That's awful strange," said the youngster.
"Why, my dear?" asked the mother.
"Because, Dad says that's all he ever gets over the radio."
She spoke of places while we sipped our tea. Siam might well have been a block away, So intimate it seemed; Sahara lay A step beyond my garden gate; a sea
I never sailed was droning songs to me; I felt the languor of a tropic day; I saw a temple mirrored in a bay That told a tale of haunting mystery.
I have no time to travel roads around The world. but I have time to cross the lawn And lean upon the garden gate, and smell The fragrance of the flowers, hear the sound Of robins, gaze along the road where dawn Has come. and think of tales that others tell.

Washington, March 20.-The late R. A. Long, who will go into history as one of the delegates of the lumber industry to the Hall of Fame of American industry, was always active in Association aftairs. He was at one time President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and it is fitting that the Manager of that Association, Wilson Compton, should utter the following appreciation of Mr. Long:
The passing of Robert Alexander Long, master lumb*erman, is far more than a family, community and industry loss. It is a national loss. The first thought that came to my mind when I heard of Mr. Long's death was of the alert man to whom I had talked in his daughter's home in Washington three weeks ago, when I invited him to speak with General Johnson at the closing meeting of the great N.R.A. Conference of Industry Code Authorities on March 7, on the Lumber Industry in National Recovery. It would have been a great public climax to a great public career. But his wise doitors advised him to decline, which he did with sincere and obvious reluctance.
The great pioneers of the .19th century are mostly gathered to their fathers. The conditions which bred these men are no more. The mold has been broken. Mr. Long sought business success, to be sure; but not in whatsoever way it might be attained. His was success in the right way-it would not be too much to say the noble way. He made a fortune but none of it was taken away from someone else.
There are only a fgw venerable men now left in America of the R. A. Long pattern. The type of great American for which Mr. Long always stood to his thoughtful friends is this: The American individualistic business pioneerthe civilization builder-courageous, firm and aggressive, but at the same time kind, tolerant, just and generous. Mr. Long was a Christian gentleman in creed, profession and practice.
We are in a new muck-raking age. It exceeds in venom and virulence the period of calumny which smeared America 30 years ago. It is fashionable to denounce and vilify any man who has gained fame and fortune. It has come to be implied that a man of wealth must be, from the social viewpoint, an evil influence. Mr. Long has been for years a valiant refutation of this detestable by-product of an unhappily prolonged depression. He made a huge fortune, directed economically the lives of thousands and tens of thousands of people, and influenced the lives of millions. But in all his relations he was constructive, improving, ameliorative, uplifting and inspiring. His business life exemplified the golden rule. His success was at no other man's expense. There will be no sinister rejoicing over the departure of this great lumberman and great American. Real sorrow and a personal sense of loss will be felt by all who knew him and many who only knew of him. His death is a national bereavement. His great enterprise will go on, it is to be hoped, in the spirit and with the purpose for which he founded it.
Washington, D. C., March 19.-The proposed changes in Schedule B, rules of Fair Trade Practice, of the Lumber and Timber Products Code, which had been considered by the Lumber Code Authority at the October and February meetings here, have been revised in accordance with the Authority's instructions and submitted to the NRA.
The Adrninistration has set April 3 next as the date of a public hearing to be held in Washington on these changes.
A big feature of the second annual Reveille to be held April 20 at the Oakland Hotel, Oakland, will be the golf tournament to be held the following day, Saturday, April 21, at the Oak Knoll Golf Course. Tickets for the golf tournament are at bargain rates, $1.75, which includes green fees and luncheon.
G. F. "Jerry" Bonnington, Wendling-Nathan Co., 110 Market Street, San Francisco, is chairman of the golf committee. Last-year's tournament brought out 48 contenders, and it is expgeted the entry will be larger this year. There is a long list of prizes.
Indicating a recovery of the pine lumbering industry in California the U. S. Forest Service believes that the cut of Government timber on the national forests of this state will show a one hundred per cent increase over 1933. This estimate is based on application by sawmill owners for sales of stumpage and on reports from lumber companies who have existing timber sale contracts. The cut of national forests timber in California in 1933 was the smallest since 1914, the total receipts from the sale of national forest stumpage in the fiscal year 1933 being $120,913, compared with $1,191,285 in 1930.
The many valuable properties of Redwood are recognized all over the world, and from time to time shipments of this' wood go to little known places and countries, and to places with names that sound odd to American ears.
A recent shipment of Redwood by Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co., San Francisco, shipped through the Redwood Export Co., went to "Samband Islenzkra Samvinnufjelaga" (Iceland Cooperative Societies), to Hull England, from where it will be re-shipped to Akureyri, Eyja Fjord'

The house flag of the McCormick companies is now fly: ing from a new craft-a giant Amphibi&n-a ship of the air which will be used by McCormick officials in connection with the supervision of extensive lumber, logging and steamship operations on the Pacific Coast.
The plane is a giant Sikorsky amphibian type monoplane, and is especially well adapted to the requirements of the company in that it will alight with equal grace and ease on land or water, making it possible to land close to their mills which are located entirely on water, miles distant from improved landing fields. It is equipped with a 300-horsepower Wasp whirlwind motor, mounted above the single wing, carries five passengers and eqiripment and has a cruising speed of 100 miles an hour with a cruising radius of 4O0 miles.
The ship will be used by the McCormick officials for trips to and from sawmills at Port Ludlow, Port Gamble and St. Helens; three logging camps in Washington, and extensive timber stands in Cowlitz, Mason, Pierce, Jefferson and Kitsap Counties in Washington, as well as in connection with the McCormick Steamship operations in the Northwest.
The plane will be flown principally by Paul S. Freydig, logging manager for the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company, with headquarters in Seattle and Portland. Mr. Freydig is a pilot of long experience. He holds a transport license and a Group 1 rating in the United States Army Air Corps Reserve, in which he is a commissioned Captain. Mr. Freydig received his flying training prior to the World War and during the War was an Army Air Corps instructor.
Officials of the company feel that the plane will not only assist in speeding up business generally, but is a step forward in modern forest conservation work and fire prevention. Valuable timber stands of the Northwest will be made safer from the appalling ravages of fire, by the vigilant patrol service of the plane.
According to the officials of the company, the McCormick Companies, during all the period of the depression, have been employing several thousand men in camps and mills, as well as in connection with the steamship operations. Their payrolls and operating expenses run well into the millions every year. The McCormick Steamship Company is one of the few shipping lines which withdrew no vessels from operation during the depression.
Our Iceberg land, to thee, Chill realm of mystery, To thee I sing; I love thy plains of snow, Stained by Aurora's glow; To scarp, and cliff, and floe, My fancies cling.
Our new possession, thou, Strange visions haunt me now, Thy wastes I see; I see thy spouting whales, I hear thy roaring gales, All that the distance veils. Is clear to me.
Our glist'ning southern pole, Though thou ar't not my goal, I hail thee now!
I love thy stretch of light, Varied by lingering night; Each awesome sound and sight, I love, but how?
Our wee America, This will I rise to say, "Bright be thy star!" Long may our heroes tell, Of thy alluring spell, Long may I love thee wellWell, but-afar !

The best known name in connection with the sport and pastime of skiing in California is that of Wendell T. Robie, of the Auburn Lumber Co., Auburn, president of the Auburn Ski Club.
Through Mr. Robie's efforts the Auburn Ski Club was formed some years ago, and this organization is rapidly educating the public of California to the enjoyment of winter sports in general and skiing in particular. Since the development of the new highway the club's ski grounds are within easy motoring distance of the San Francisco Bay district and interior Valley points.
Mr. Robie has been very active during the past winter sports season. He organized the ski tpurnament at Berkeley early this year. For this an artificial ski hill had to be constructed and many carloads of snow had to be brought from the High Sierras for the skiers. He also was responsible for the organization of the Auburn Ski Club Championship Tournament held at Cisco Ski Club, February 17 and 18.

Max Cook, agricultural engineer, and L. W. "Lew" Blinn, salesman for The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, recently spent a week together perfecting the dealer setup on Palco Redwood Septic Tanks in the vacation areas of the Russian River and Lake County, and in contacting poultry interests in furtherance of the distribution of Palco Redwood Poultry Feeders.
Mr. Cook says that lumber dealers report an optimistic outlook among poultrymen in spite of the present low price of eggs.
Many dealer sales of Palco pre-fabricated products are being made throughout the State, he says, and a high percentage of repeat orders for these products is being received, giving promise of a successful year in this department.

Councilman Geo. W. C. Baker presented a resolution to the Los Angeles City Council on March 15, 1934, calling for an amendment to exempt the grade technically known as No. 1 Heart Common Redwood from the building ordinance which requires that all lumber used as the underpinnings of all types of buildings in Los Angeles be pressure-treated with creosote or its equivalent as a protection against termites. Councilman Baker in introducing the resolution asked that it be referred to the building and safety committee of the Council for an early public hearing. President Howard Davis of the Council referred the resolution to the committee and Councilman Edward L. Thrasher, chairman of the building and safety committee, announced that a hearing would soon be held on the resolution, which follows:
"Whereas the foundation grade of California Redwood technically known as No. 1 Heart Common Redwood is in itself ample protection against termite damage; and,
"Whereas the California Redwood Industry is one of the oldest established industries in the State of California; and,
"Whereas the California Redwood Industry represents an investment of between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000 within the State of California; and,
"Whereas the California Redwood Industry today employs upwards of eleven thousand men within the State of California; and,
"Whereas the Industry within 000,000; and,
annual payroll of the California Redwood the State of California approximates $15,-
"Whereas the foundation grade of California Redwood, known as No. 1 Heart Common, is today recognized throughout the United States, as well as foreign markets, as complete protection against termite damage;
"Now, therefore be it resolved that the City Attorney be, and is hereby, instructed to prepare an amendment to Ordinance No. 73372, said amendment to provide for the exemption from creosote treatment, the following:
"Foundation Redwood, technically known as No. 1 Heart Common Redu'ood. Such material shall be cut from that portion of the tree below the crown and shall not contain any sapwood or brown stain. All material shall be graded and have the identifying grade mark of the California Redwood Association and certified by them to be of the grade of No. I Heart Common."
At a meeting held at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, on Friday, March 16, representatives of a number of lumber companies in the Los Angeles district met to discuss plans to bring about the amendment to the present ordinance.
The present ordinance, which was passed by the Los Angeles City Council on December 13, 1933, was vetoed by Mayor Frank L. Shaw on December 21. The Council passed the measure over the Mayor's veto on January 5 and it became effective February 8. 1934.
F. M. "C"ppy" Slade announces the opening of an office at 331 Petroleum Securities Building, Los Angeles, where he will carry on a wholesale lumber business handling Northwest forest products. The telephone number is PRospect 2705.
He will represent the Mumby Lumber & Shingle Co. of Bordeaux, Wash., and has the distribution of the Edward Hines Lumber Company "Plylast" Douglas fir plywood and wallboard. He will also be able to place orders for lumber, shingles and lath through the Edward Hines Pacific Coast Lumber Company of Portland, Ore., which is the buying office of the Edward Hines Lumber Company of Chicago, one of the country's largest lumber concerns.
"C"ppy" is well known to the Southern California lumber trade, where he represented the S. E. Slade Lumber Co. which was established in 1885 by his father, the late S. E. Slade, and covered this territory lrom l92l to 1932 at which time the Southern California office was discontinued. His many friends are glad to see him back in the harness again.
"Dealers taking advantage of our 'One Stop Service' are finding it a great convenience when purchasing building materials to be able to buy all the lumber products from one organization, thereby saving many telephone calls and much valuable time," said R. D. Lapham, manager of the planing mill department of T. P. Hogan Co., Oakland, recently. "Deliveries are mpde with our trucks, or if the dealer prefers he can pick up materials with his own equipment."
Mr. Lapham reports a healthy increase in the volume of business in the first quarter of 1934 over the same period in 1933, and attributes this to cooperation of the dealers and their increased use of his company's "One Stop Service."
Dr. Frank Brewer, medical officer in charge of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Livermore, Calif., was the principal speaker at the meeting of the East Bay Hoo Hoo Club held at the Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, Monday evening, March 19.

Wood is returning in a new guise as decorative finish for walls and ceilings. This time it is a tile and plank made of wood fibre.
The new product, known as Nu-Wood Bevel-Lap Tile and Plank, is proving popular for homes, offices, halls, li braries and other public buildings. Installations here disclose reasons for its wide appeal. A natural wood color in varied tones from ligfrt tan to rich dark brown, a variety of shapes and sizes, and two surface textures-one side being rippled and the other smooth-make possible a great many variations in decoration. The plank comes in two types, one a standard bevel, and in five difierent widths and as many colors, which provide a random effect. In addition a series of decorative mouldings, made from the same material greatly enhance the beauty of the tile and plank on a completed job. Effective designs of coves, columns, beams and pilasters can be built up by using various combinations of these mouldings.
This wood fibre tile and plank has at least two other virtues: effective insulation against heat and dampness, and acoustical correction. It is claimed to be unusually effective in muffling discordant noises and preventing reverberations. This makes it especially applicable for use in public buildings, such as gymnasiums, theaters, churches and libraries. Installation is declared to be very easy, as it is applied over existing wall and ceiling surfaces. The bevel-lap features assures a perfect seal at each joint, at the same time providing an attractive groove around each panel. While the natural color is usually preferred, it may be painted, enameled, stained or calcimined if desired.
Permanent displays are now being installed at the Architects Building Material Exhibit at Fifth and Figueroa streets in Los Angeles, one showing various applications of the plank and tile, the other showing Nu-Wood Insulating Board used with Nu-Wood mouldings. Nu-Wood is a Weyerhaeuser product and is distributed in Southern California by Accepted Materials, Inc., 6818 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles. Dealers report to them a very active demand'for the material, as it is particularly adaptable in the modernization and remodeling of all types of existing buildings and also in new construction.
