Certoin,teed

There are 1,3O4,300 Smiths in the United States according to latest figures. Lots of great Americans have been in the Smith column, starting with Captain John Smith of the early days, and including James Smith (signer of the Declaration of Independence), Samuel Francis Smith (who wrote "America") and Joseph Smith (who started the Mormon religion).

After the Smiths come the Jolrnsons. There are L,024,200 Johnsons in the U. S. A. There are 730,5@ Browns. The Williams family comes next with 684,7q); then the Joneses with 658,300; the Millers, with 625,800; the Davis gang, with 537,900; the Andersons, with 477,300; the Wilsons, with 422,300; and lastly the Moore family, with 363,400.

That's what they ""rr lru.rlrr* ;*" the figures on leading family names in this country. Reminds me o{ the time last year when the Eucharistic Congress was being held down in New Orleans. A New York lady there to attend the Congress registered at the Roosevelt Hotel, and was going up in the elevator when she asked the colored boy something about the Eucharistic Congress. He scratched his head in deep misery. uLady," he said, "Ah specks youse gwine to have to break dem words down, fo Ah kin unerstand em."

Thomas Dreier t"tt" "1o... in" ,1 , bearded Russian who was giving an American visitor his first lessons in talking Russian. The first urdrds he suggested to the American were, "Ya vass lubu," meaning "I love you." The fat Russian told him, "ft's the first sentence you learn in any language, and, my friend, you will get more exquisite returns from that one sentence in Russia than in any other country on earth." That's some recommend for Russian travel.

I loved the radio a"rlt" o;-"": Chartie McCarthy and Beatrice Fairfax. "Beatrice," said Charlie, "what sort of girl should a fellow marry?" "Well, Charlie," said the famous adviser to the lovelorn, "he should marry a good

cook, and a fine companion." "But, Beatrice !" exclaimed Charlie, "ain't that bigamy?"

Wish I could get into the movies in an advisory calncity. Being an ardent movie fan I am always wishing I could see certain actors, actresses, plays, etc., in fashions not now being offered the public. I think the movie folks stand so close to their work that they lose a lot of valuable perspective. The average movie fan, if given the opportunity, could make suggestions that would help make better movies, and give the public better entertainment.

Think what "The Lady of the Lake" would be like, properly done, with Colman or Rathbone playing James FitzJames ! What a magnificent screen story "Marmion" would make ! Few stories in history lend such opportunities as these two. The climax, the courtroom scene in "The Lady of theLake" surpasses any climax in the world's literature. Talk about a surprise ending ! O. Henry in his palmiest days of surprise endings, never dreamed of one to compare with the scene where Lady Ellen discovers that Snowdoun's Knight is Scotland's King." Remember it? Then get out your Scott and read it over. The world's best literature holds out wondrous stories to the screen. And instead the average eight-year-old child goes into the avef,age feature picture, and at the end of the first ten minutes can guess the entire story in advance. And they pay fortunes to alleged writers for preparing such bromidic rot.

What's become ", C"nor" Fh;g and Sergeant Quirt?

I see Mclaglen often, but Edmund Lowe-the best of the twrvery seldom. I'd liketo see them team again. So, I am sure, would the public. "What Price Glory" was an immortal epic of the silent screen. I think I'll study over my screen suggestions and send them to some of the "big shots." You never can tell when an idea will take root, even though the soil is sub-fertile.

Nothing like realitier*.o ,1. yol, tnirrt ing straightened out. I started the other day for a three day motor trip. Half an hour after I started I saw one of the most awful auto smashups I ever came upon. That sure slowed me down, and made me cautious for days. There were four cars entirely demolished in that wreck. Three days later, half an hour before my trip ended, I came upon another that was nearly as bad, with five cars badly tangled. Seeing those sort of things sure cuts down your speed.

I own a few dollars worth of stock in a certain public utility company. An hour ago I was reading the statement of this concern for 1938. Two statements tremendously impressed me, both with regard to taxation. Statement Number One: the tax bill of that corporation in 1938 was 59 per cent higher than in 1937. Statement Number Two: the tax bill of the corporation for the year was between 25 and 26 per cent of the entire operating cost of the business. There's something to think about in those statements.

The late Joseph Pulitzer gave some great advice to newspaper reporters. One of his statements is a classic: "Put it to them briefly so they will read it; clearly, so they will understand it; forcibly, so they will appreciate it; picturesquely so they will remember it; and above all, accurately, so they will be guided by its light."

Spring is opening throughout the land. This means a lot to the flowers, the grasses, the trees, and the birds. But it means more to the building industry, and the building material business. For during the closed winter months in a large parto{ this land of ours, there is little or no building. The weather does not permit. It is when the spring opens and humans take inventory of their physical conditions and their physical surroundings, that the urge comes to build, to repair, to remodel, to paint, to improve, to get buildings and building things ready for the spring and summer. It is then that the real building volume of the year makes its appearance. Right now the lumber and other building material industries throughout the nation, are watching and expectantly waiting, to see what the spring shall bring forth. There are fine prospects for a good year. But the spring will tell the story.

Life's 'Traditional" Home at San Diego

An event of more than passing interest to the people of San Diego, and especially prospective home owners, was the openi.ng of Life's "Traditional" Home on Saturday, February 25.

Last fall, Life selected four representative families, of different income levels, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 a year, who wanted to build a home and could do so and asked them what they would like if they built new ones. They commissioned eight distinguished architects in the United States to design each family's "dream house." Two architects were assigned to each family, one to design a "traditional" house, and the other a "modern" house.

In San Diego, Life authorized B. M. Torgerson, one of the city's prominent builders, to construct a home intended for a

Barry was associated with the shingle business in Southern California since 1922, and is widely known in lumber circles. The past seven years he was with Fisk & Mason of South Pasadena. He took over his new position on March 1.

family in the $3,000 to $4,000 income bracket. The "traditional" house for this income level-a "California Colonial," was designed by H. Roy Kelley, noted Los Angeles architect. It was furnished by H. L. Benbough Co., San Diego. The building materials were furnished by San Diego dealers, and local labor was employed throughout.

A careful check of visitors on the opening day showed that 1,000 people passed through the home. The following day, Sunday, there were 6,60O visitors, and since then the daily average has been around 1,000, indicating the interest the people of any community will take in an attractive, modern home.

A visit to Life's "Traditional" Home is well worth the time of any dealer and prospective home owner.

A steady growth in the number of lumber dealers handling Inwood is reported by William Griffith of Inwood Products Co., 1539 Folsom Street, San Francisco, and 6626 McKinley Avenue, Los Angeles. He stresses the fact that Inwood is not a paint, varnish or lacquer, but is an enduring, penetrating finish for wood and composite materials, and that it enhances the beauty of the natural wood, seals and waterproofs with just one coat, giving a smooth, nonslip wax-like finish.

Gets Publicity in National Magazine

Al Nolan, Western sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Com,panv, San Francisco, receir.ed some national and international publicity for himself, his company and the idea of roof insulation n,hen his letter to life pointing out that the expenditure of an extra $50 on insulating the roof of Life's l.rouse in suburban Pittsburgh would be an excellent investment.

N[r. Nolar-r's sharp eye noted that in the picture shorvn of this house in February 6 issue there r'vas an entire absence of snorv on the roof of this house as compared lvith the roof of the garage. His letter was printed in the February 27 isste of Life 'ivith the editor's comment that Mr. Nolan could rest assure<l tl.rat rvher.r the Pittsburgh Life llouse is completed snow rvill not melt on its roof tl-rrough lack of insulation, and that the house was opened before insulation was completely installed.

No doubt Al hopes that they rvill use Palcq Wool for the roof insulation.

HE KNEW HIS PLACE

Bill Planer, the village carpenter' had given so generously of his time and services in building the little new memorial church that it was decided to allow him to speak at the dedicatory services. Bill hated to do it, it was entirely out of his line, but he also hated to overlook an opportunity to make more friends, so he made a try at it.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said Bill, stammering, "I realize that I am a lot better fitted for a scaffold than for a platfs6-"

Then, amid roars of laughter, he sat down.

PASS GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM

By Marian CanbY

I sometimes think that I love strangers best, Pecple who catch rny heart in shop or street, At ease in anonymitY. Discreet.

I praise them with my glance. No need to test The sum of enigmatic features, lest Some lurking decadence at last defeat Fidelity; that innocent lip, too sweet, Must do without the pity of my breast. These chosen loves pass gently down the stream That follows time and turns into forever

At the next corner. I bless thern, for they never Frustrate the truth of one spontaneous dream

That is no dream unless clear sight can lie

The soul sits plain in the unguarded eye.

UNPREPARED

The golfer who had loet his ball was very much annoyed with his caddie.

"Why in Hell didn't you watch where it went?" he demanded wrathfullY.

PRINTING

Henry P. Porter wrote: Printing is a good business. It is clean, honorable, respectable. It is celebrated as a trainer of men for higher stations in life. It has many inspiring traditions and legends. It combines the need for knowledge of everything under the sun: mathematics, mechanics, language, spelling, grammar, color, composition, salesmanship; there is indeed no limit to the accomplishments that are required of the printer. The printer is brought into contact withall other vocations and professions. No vocation or profession can really exist without the printing press. From textbooks to novels, from pamphlets to neutspapers' from tickets to taxbills, no man can evade the printed word.

TOLERANCE

It is so easy, so very easy, to misunderstand, misinterpret, misjudge. Give everyone the benefit of a- trrossible error, and discount your own observation-liberally. This is advice for all of us-for you and the other fellow-because the very advice we give and apply to others is an injunction we may need ourselves.

Destruction Menaces Californie Sugar Pine

Portland, Oregon.-Few people realize that the White Pine blister rust is sweeping southward through California's Sugar Pine forests at the rate of 80 miles each year.

IJnless adequate measures for control of this pest are taken the situation rvill soon be so far out of hand that control cannot keep pace rvith its spread. If this occurs, g'overnment entomologists assure us that the entire Sugar Pine species will eventually be destroyed.

The cost of such control, spread over a six-year period, will not be more than the values accruing to the state each year from the Sugar Pine lumber industry alone, taking no account of the large recreational and watershed values involved.

Senate Bill 1045, now before the California legislature, would provide for state recognition of the situation. Other measures introduced in the Congress by Representative Lea and Senator Johnson provide for Federal authorization to appropriate money for blister rust eradication. Without some state action, however, this Federal legislation would have little effect as far as California is concerned. And if some appropriation is not made by the present legislature it may be too late two years hence for adequate control to be assured.

OBITUARIES

Joseph Henry Holmes

Joseph Henrl- Holmes. pioneer ltedrvood lumberman, passed away on Nlarch 18 at the age of 81. He died in Ontario, California, u'ithin sight of the old {amily home u-here l-ris father ancl rnother clietl beiore him. He nas haPpy in the knorvledge that he hacl lived to celelrrate rvith his clel'otecl n'ife the occasion of their liftieth antliversarY ott Decenrber 27. 1937.

E,arlier that vear he u'as the recipient c.,f a rvell desert'ecl ar-rcl drarnatic trilrute f rom the exectttives and leaders of the Itecll'c.rod inclustrl'. On that historic occ4siou (reportecl at the tirne in these coluurns) he n'as llresente<l rvith tl-re parchment scroll reprocluced on this page ancl signed by associates in the Itedu'ood indrrstry. The inscrilltiott most elorluently exemltlifies the great reverellce alld resllect in rvhich he l'as helci l>y his ltrothet ltturberttten in the irr-

clustrl' to rvhich he had devoted himself whole-heartedly, rvith energy, intelligence and the milk of human kindness.

The outstanding r.irtue of N{r. Holmes-a great trlan of many virtues-$ras his magnificent personal character; his pure sense of etl-rics. The shock of his passing ltrought an avalanche of messages and letters to his home and office, from competitors, custonters, frien<1s and acqttaintances ; heartfelt sentiments that could only be inspired llv zr mau of such deserving qualities.

The story of Mr. Holmes, is the storl' of tl.re hardy, courageous, industry-building pioneer, the men of great tnoral fibre, stout heart, wise judgment and conquering spirit-the true pioneer of n'hich the West is justly proud. He was born in the little tos'n of Flenry, Illinois, in the year rvhen James Buchanan 'il'as President, in 1857. llard r.vork and the out-of-doors life on a farr.n made him strong and gave him the stamina u'hich served hirn througll the years.

It rvas in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1887, that Mr. Holmes first made his mark in the lumber business in a partnership established as Holmes & I-indley, later Hohnes, Gregorr' & T.indley.

Through ups and downs, panics and depressions he pressed or1. Undaunted by the devastating panic of 1f193 rvhich rviped him out, but coulcl not thrvart him from taking care of all creditors. he n'orked in various capacities, al'rvays in the lumber business; salesman, yard manager, retail dealer. He rvorked and battled his rvay back, winning the respect and confidence of all rvith rvhom he came iu contact.

And thus it u'as that in 1903 he establishecl the Holmes E,ureka Lumber Co., cleveloping it intoa sound an<l progressive manufacturing enterpriseguicling its destinies or.er the period of 36 1'ears to the very clay of his cleath.

Hoo-Hoo Has Been Streamlined bv Men Who Know Their Job

Frcat W. Trower San Francisco. California

March 9,1939

Mr. Larue J. Woodson

Arcanoper, Supreme Nine

International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo

San Francisco, California

Dear Larry:

Herewith I send you my application for reinstatement in Hoo-Hoo and my check to cover same. You have kindly shown me the minutes of the joint meeting of the reorganization committee of Hoo-Hoo and the members of the new Supreme Nine held at Minneapolis, January 16, 1939; also the by-laws of the Order adopted then; and the various financial statements covering the period from June 1933 to January 26, 1939; all of which I have carefully read. It is especially gratifying to note that by strict economy and wise management the reorganization committee has paid out of its quite limited receipts more than $3600.00 to beneficiaries of the former funeral fund; thus discharging a debt of honor to widows and heirs of deceased members.

Having closely followed National Hoo-Hoo affairs for many years, until my resignation in 1927, I want to express my admiration for the excellent job that has been done, not only by the reorganization committee during a most difficult period, but as regards the new set-up for the International Order of Hoo-Hoo, just incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. Two things stand foremost in this respect. First, the wisdom shown in drawing up the by-laws, and second, the high quality of the new officers and the men who have been risponsible for bringing the Order through the trying ordeal of recent years, and establishing it on a solid foundation. The underbrush has been cut away, leaving the trees a good chance to grow. Nonessential by-laws have been de'leted, the modern Hoo-Hoo has been streamlined, by men who know their job. For example, the former by-laws provided for a sort of consulting supervision by Past Snarks of the lJniverse; and they were supposed to receive regular reports from headquarters. Even if it had been fully complied with, this tended toward "ruleby the dead hand." Now, there has been reestablished what I think is a wise provision for cooperation with the secretary and Supreme Nine by a board of three councilors living in or near the city designated as fnternational Headquarters. These three councilors are respectively, the pesident, vice-president, and treasurer of the corporation, and are elected by the Supreme Nine each year, who are in turn elected by the annual delegated convention of the entire Order.

The knowledge and experience of Past Snarks is still available to any officer or member who may desire their aid,

but they are no longer tied in with the management of HooFIoo, except in the by-law which provides that in the committee on legislation and good of the Order at annual conventions, three of its nine members shall be Past Snarks. I hope the lumber press will soon publish, and each member receive a copy of the admirable new statement of the purposes of the Order.

A first-class business administration is now in operation. Hoo-Hoo has profited from the lessons of past mistakes. The old Black Cat fraternity nearly lost three of its nine lives. Now, with Longfellow, we may say "Let the dead past bury its dead." We face the future with confidence. for an Order as loosely organized as was the old Hoo-Hoo, that has survived the storms and stress of 47 years, has surely demonstrated the basic value of those principles of friendship, confidence and cooperation on which it was founded. But good personnel is just as important as good machinery. In the 35 years since I joined the Order, I have never known it to have a better qualified group of business men filling its important offices, than those now in charge at Minneapolis headquarters and in the various jurisdictions and districts. Many of them I have known personally or by reputation for a long time. The active chairman of the reorganization committee during these past five difficult years is general manager of the largest lumber and timber concern in the world. The secretary-manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association attended the Minneapolis convention of Hoo-Hoo last August and took an active part in its work. The confidence and devotion of all these able men demonstrates their faith in Hoo-Hoo and its purposes. The secretary of the new HooI{oo, W. M. Wattson, served in the same capacity for the reorganization committee since its inception in June, 1933. He is a lumberman whose integrity and ability are well known to all Minneapolis Hoo-Hoo; and all officers throughout the United States and Canada will find him eager to assist them in their duties.

One of the declared purposes of Hoo-Hoo is "To encourage and assist in the establishment of }foo-Iloo Clubs and aid in the direction of their activities." During the past few years many of these clubs became inactive; others have grown and kept up their fine work. Among these latter is our own East Bay Club No. 39, which greatly resembles the Twin Cities Club at Minneapolis, the Spokane and Washington, D. C. clubs. While Hoo-Hoo International was being reorganized, many members of our club lost contact with the Order as a fraternity; others have not known of the history and connection between the two. Some of our club members have asked what Ihternational Hoo-Hoo could do for us that is not already well done by our club alone. That is a fair question and must

be fairly answered. I think the new Hoo-Hoo by-laws wisely deals with this matter of club relationship in very general terms, leaving much to future developments. Hoo-IIoo members in clubs are given the same basis for representation at annual conventions that is allowed members outside clubs. Of course the Order must retain control of the use of its name. Hoo-Hoo International gave our club its charter and original by-laws, and helped us get ourstart.Our club is an outstanding success because $'e put into practice those principles for which Hoo-Hoo stands. When a parent has been through a wasting illness it is not customary for the children to fail to help towards recovery. Our club will naturally want to be a part of that larger membership which embraces all clubs; just as the individual member and local lodge of any fraternity are pleased to feel they are in contact with fellowmembers outside their own home town. It is the duty of International Hoo-Hoo to promote the formation of new clubs where their existence is justified. Every such club adds to the value of membership in any one club. And one of the most important of your duties as Supreme officer in six Western States is to aid existing clubs and form new ones. We must remember that there are many members of Hoo-Hoo scattered throughout regions where it is not feasible to maintain successful clubs. But such men appreciate the opportunity to visit a club meeting whenever possible.

I congratulate you on your appointment of Bert Bryan as Vicegerent for Northern California. No finer selection could be made, and he will have the strongest possible support from the rank and file. You and he are past presidents of Club No. 39 and thus continue as active members of its board of directors. I do not doubt that this problem of relations with International Hoo-Hoo will be worked out gradually in the spirit of sincere and loyal cooperation which distinguishes our club. The present leaders of the Order stand for the same ideals and purposes that have animated ourclub. At one time California had over 1600 members, the largest number in any State. That is a record we can again aim for, holding to the standard of quality rather than quantity, so 'rvell preserved in the new eligibility clause; which is substantially the one adopted at the Fresno Annual in 192t. The 1924 Annual at Minneapolis was another important milestone in our progress toward a better Hoo-Hoo. We must preserve the fine spirit of harmony and good-will that prevails among us; members of No. 39 must be allowed to feel free tojoin International Hoo-Hoo or not. We do not want any one of them to feel uncomfortable if he prefers for the present to delay

his decision about joining or reinstating his former membership in the Order. My thought is that the question of new members for Hoo-Hoo is not one of high-pressure salesmanship, but rather of voluntary decision for each man. With only one or two concatenations per year in each important lumber region, membership will become a thing to be desired, rather than to be forced upon anyone. The name Hoo-Hoo and the Black Cat button are known the world over as the insignia of affiliation with one of the greatest industries benefiting mankind. We must put more young men in positions of resrponsibility in the Order.

It is said that "Thoughts are Things." The word Concatenated means "linked together." I have often been impressed by the strong ties of sentiment that have long bound members of Hoo-Hoo together in warm friendship. Such things are among the greatest values in life. To borrow a thought from Lincoln, the mystic chords of memory still vibrate with the theme of unselfish friendship. The song may be bnded or the singer gone, but the melody of that thought lingers on. Hoo-Hoo has been a potent, though sometimes invisible, force in the development of cooperative effort in the many branches of our great industry, which has so much to do with building the homes and habitations of mankind. Now, with a revitalized organization, we can look forward confidently to the task of aiding once more our forest industries in the solution of the pressing problems that need the helpful elements which Hoo-Hoo organization and principles can give. With my very best wishes for success in the constructive days and years that lie ahead, f remain,

Sincerely,

Frank W. Trower, No. 12835. Trower Lumber Companv

New Lumber Requirements in Revised L. A. Buildins Code in Full Elfiect April 1

April 1, the new lumber requirements in the revised Los Angeles building code are to go into full effect, according to Clyde Makutchan, superintendent of buildings.

Mr. Makutchan issued the following statement:

"Effective August n, 1938, a revision of the Municipal Code for the first time provided complete and up-to-date provisions with regard tolumber. This code change, now in effect for more than six months, has been found highly workable and provides desirable uniformity with other codes used in this area, namely, the Uniform Building Code of Pacific Coast Building Officials' Conference, Appendix A of the State Division of Architecture (with resrpect to schools) and Minimum Construction Standards of the Federal Housing Administration (with regard to dwellings).

"In order to permit the disposal of stocks on hand and to avoid financial loss on the part of retail lumber dealers in this area the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners granted an extension of time on certain grade and grademarking provisions. This time extension will expire March

31, hence the code amendment which became effective last August is now about to be enforced in full.

"Since current practice with respect to grades and grademarking will be changed, I think it advisable to review the following points. These will become effective April 1.

"1.-All lumber with the exception of boards will be required to be grade-marked.

"2.-The minimum grade acceptable for joists, rafters, stringers, beams, girders and similar members shall be No 1 dimension.

"3.-Minimum grade acceptable for studs, struts, posts, columns and similar rnembers shall be No. 2 dimension (except that columns having a cross section of over 16 square inches must be No. 1.)

r'{.-\e. 3 boards for subflooring, wall and roof sheathing are acceptable and need not be grade-marked.

"5.-Exceptions to Items 2 and 3 are permitted in small buildings where the total cost for any one building operation does not exceed S500."
