How Lumber Looks Building permits compiled from 86 of the largest Pacific Coast cities reflect an abnormally large increase in construction activity during March, according to the Western Monthly tsuilding Survey, prepared by H. R. Baker & Co., California investment banking firm.

The increase in March 1938 over February 1938 approximated 34.2 per cint, and was the largest increase over a preceding month in several years. Permits were 22.6 per cent lower in March 1938 than in March 1937. The latter month in turn established a high record for the recovery period. The total volume of building permits in March 1938 from 86 of the largest Pacific Coast cities amounted to $20,578,117, compared with $15,918,940 in February 1938, $26,6ll,714 in March 1937, and, $I9,3D,982 in March 1936.

The 25 cities reporting largest volume of permits showed a corresponding large increase over the preceding month, and a correspondingly favorable report with respect to the same month last year. Permits from these 25 cities totaled $16,833,904 in March 1938, which was a gain of 45.4 per cent over the $11,577,ffi in February 1938, and a decrease of 19.2 per cent from the record established in March 1937, which totaled $n,842,931.

Reports from these 86 cities definitely indicate that the new Federal Housing Program has resulted in the issuance of an abnormally large amount of permits for the construction of small residences.

Los Angeles again ranked first with $5,672,695, San Francisco was second with $2,167,791, and rvas followed by Long Beach, San Diego, Seattle, Vancouver, B. C., Oakland, and Portland, all of which had more than $500,000 in permits.

Other cities in the first 25 included, in their respective order, Pasadena, Sacramento, Glendale, Vernon, Santa Monica, Burbank, Spokane, Beverly Hills, Salt Lake City, Wenatchee, Reno, Fresno, San Jose, Burlingame, Alhambra, San Marino and Cheyenne.

A total of 150 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon which reported to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended April 2, produced 80,818,718 feet of lumber. At the rate of cutting at the reporting mills, the entire industry produced 51.3 per cent of its average weekly ctrt during 1926-n.

The new business reported taken during the week by the 150 mills was 80,576,589 feet, and shipments were 85,285,357 feet. The unfilled order file at these mills stood at

309,016,337.

The Association reports that production, orders and

shipments, as shown in this week's report continue extreme-

ly low for the time of year.

The Western Pine or.l.,],,J", 121 mills reporting for

week ended April 2, gave new business as 50,532,000 feet;

shipments 52,945,ffi feet; and production 45,852,000 feet.

Orders were 10.2 per cent above production, and 4.5 per cent below shipments. Shipments were 15.4 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 156,344,000 feet.

:B ,r :F

The California Redwood Association for the week ended March 26 reported production of 13 mills as 4,551,000 feet; shipments 4,305,000 feet; and new business 7,389,000 feet.

Week-end orders on hand*totaled 46,592,000 feet.

517 applications for loans totaling $2,386,700 were made to the Los Angeles office of the Federal Housing Administration during the first week of April. In addition to the

new applications received during the week from the lending

agencies, 613 previous loan applications totaling $2,548,800

were approved by the FHA. The greater percentage of the loans will go to building new homes in Los Angeles, and the rest to repairing or enlarging existing structure.

4-square Endless Lumber saves time. Vith ends and edges tongued and grooved, boards dontt have to be joined over framing members.

This feature overcomes the need for trimming when standard lumber is used. Pieces follow one another quickly into position. In sheath-

My old friend Denniston sent me the above. He meant well, but he was entirely wrong in one particular. It was not then, it is not now, and it never will be a ,.modest',

lumber journal. It has been outspoken and immodest always. No modest journal could have survived what this one has gone through. Anyway, folks, shake hands with a veteran. This month f am celebrating my silver anniversary as a lumber publisher.

When I think of the group of lumber journal publishers with whom I used to attend the lumber meetings in the South a quarter of a century ago, I DO feel decidedly a vet.

For all of them are gone except myself. Jim Baird, William Eddy Barns, Bolling Arthur Johnson, J. E. Defebaugh and Walter Wright, all of whom were publishers then and regulars at the Southern lumber meetings, are all gone to their reward, most of them long ago. **r<

Not only that but, with the exception of Jim Baird's Southern Lumberman and J. E. Defebaugh's American Lumberman, the magazines of that group are likewise gone.

The St. Louis Lumberman of William Eddy Barns, the Lumber World Review of Bolling Arthur Johnson, and the New Orleans Lumber Trade Journal of Walter Wright, disappeared long ago. *r<{<

I have seen many other lumber journals in the South and Middle West, in addition to those I have mentioned, and many good men and true in the lumber journal game, come and go. They were great folks and they performed a service

for the lumber industry that never has been recognized.

Twenty-five years aso:r,: :*, r started publishing The Gulf Coast Lumberman. For five years previous to that I had been a lumber journal editor. And for several years previous to that I had been wiiting lumber news. Nine year after The Gulf Coast Lumberman was born, The California Lumber Merchant made its bow. So, after about thirty-three years at this game, if I do not feel like a veteran

My start. in the lumber publishing game reminds me of what my old friend Gus Russell, of San Francisco, used to say about H{S start in the lumber business. Gus says most

lumbermen start their.business career in some humble po-

sition in the industry, but that it was different with him.

He started right out, he says, in a position of great responsibility. He stood at the tail end of a planing mill machine where the lumber came through, and if he did not catch the stuff and pile it on a dolly, it fell flat on the floor.

Yes Sir ! A responsible position. It was about that way with me. When I opened an office and started publishing a lumber journal I had $450 in the world-all cash. It also took a lot of nerve-but I had that.

rn the space of ,u"r. ul,rri* i"nt"n I have follovyed the lumber business, I saw the White Pine industry of the Michigan-Wisconsin-Minnesota territory decline and nearly disappear; f saw the Cedar industry in that same territory do likewise; I saw the up-sweep of Yellow Pine in the South as the Northern woods cut out; and I saw Yellow Pine swing downward in its turn; I saw Louisiana Cypress reach its zenith and then practically disappear; f saw the hardwood industry of the South grow from swaddling clothes to mighty importance; f saw the mighty softwood industry of the Pacific Northwest reach its production peak and begin its downward swing; I saw the great softwood forests of California and Arizona swing upward and reach a high production point; AND I SA\V THE PER CAPITA

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT (Continued from Page 6) tions of the Lumber Industry." It could be a mighty interesting book. It would deal with a colorful and romantic industry, peopled with interesting and punchful characters.

No exaggeration would be needed to give such a story life and zip. This has always been a lively, virile industry. ,1.**

Anyway, let's let history pass, and talk about the present, even though the things and conditions we see about us are not as pleasant to contemplate as they were in the old days.

Even the old-timey panics weren't so bad. I recall the panic of 1907, and how we couldn't even get our meager pay checks cashed. But we didn't abort our necessities, waste our substance, or mortgage our future; and we soon got well. 't*t The very air has been charged with tension in this country for the past month. Business is very bad, generally. The now well advertised Roosevelt Depression has made the "modest recession" talk sound silly. Labor, as well as capital, seems convinced that choking business is also choking labor, and that only by helping business in intelligent fashion can real jobs be created. Mr. Roosevelt hit the headlines three times from Georgia; and each time the stock market plunged dowriward. Once he thundered against the South as creating depression by low wage scales. Once he woke the world at two o'clock in the morning to declare that he is not aiming at dictatorship. And once he expressed his satisfaction that those Senators who voted for his reorganization bill, could not be "purchased."

**{.

All three sent values tumbling downward. Blaming the employers of the South for present conditions had a tremendous reaction. The bitterest things I have read of late

against the New Deal have been in Southern labor journals

and newspapers. They have been unrestrained in their caustic criticism. The Houston (Texas) Labor Journal, for instance, blames the present depression on Mr. Roosevelt entirely because "the Federal government, under the Roose-

velt administration, h", nomic structure."

control of our entire eco-

That same labor journ" ,*an", says, editorially: "More than half the people of this nation are dependent on the government for subsistence, in whole or in part. The total is arrived at by grouping together all those people who work for the government, or who are employed on federal emergency projects, those who receive government financial aid, and all those whb draw pensions. Government, moreover, has taken over agriculture, the bituminous coal industry, and is casting long.ing glances at the ailing railroad business. Any decision as to the good or evil of these developments depends on the point of view. If we want some form of totalitarian state, they are the real McCoy. If we desire to retain our traditional capitalistic system, our personal freedom, personal individuality, and universal opportunity, THEN WE CAN REGARD THEM ONLY AS SUBVERSIVE AND OVERDONE ENCROACH-

MENTS ON A WAY OF LIFE FORMULATED IN AMERICA, FOR AND BY AMERICANS, WHICH HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL AND SATISFACTORY OVER A PERIOD OF SOME 160 YEARS." :F :F

:f

Accelerated by that same speech against the Southern employers it seems to me, there is quite a hue and cry at the moment for modification of the Wagner Act, to make it fair to all sides and to all men, rather than a strike-creator and trouble-maker. It would not surprise me if a large portion of union labor in this entire country today would get behind a movement to help business and raise its morale to the end that investment might go forward, and industry take a new lease of life. The inner circle of the New Deal has as yet uttered no word of sympathy for beleaguered business; but everyone else in the nation HAS. ,t*:t

(Continued from Page 8) of rapidly changing sentiment, means that it never will be passed. .A new tax bill is certain of passage, although as this is written its final form is not yet certain. That the undivided surplus profits tax and the capital gains tax will be heavily modified if not entirely eliminated, is now certain, with the odds favoring elimination. The determination to write tax bills for revenue and quit the entire program of punitive taxation becomes daily more popular. The undistributed profits tax and the capital gains tax keep billions of dollars and millions of men unemployed. What the government would lose in direct revenue through the cancellation of these taxes, would be made up many times over in the general improvement in conditions, financial, economic, industrial, and commercial. **{<

comparatively short time. And the pendulum seems swinging in that direction now, with more room for hope than in a long time. I feel much encouraged.

The newly revised n'u^i is*irr luu operation. One of the stumbling blocks to its active operation is the fact that so many people got the idea that the government is just trying to give away a lot of money like it was doing three years ago, and they ask for things never contemplated under the Act. While it aims to be helpful and to give builders a long time to pay at low'rates of interest, it still contemplates a business-like arrangement, fair inventories and appraisals, and loans, but not gifts. Most of the criticisms we hear and read of the operation of the measure are based on the claims of people who are asking more than they have any

right to. {<*t<

The repeal of those two tax features; modification of the Wagner Act to make it seem more nearly fair to all concerned; a determination on the part of Congress to start qutting the expenses of government; and the assurance of Congress that business will henceforth be encouraged rather than discouraged; these several things would bring prosperity out of chaos and sunshine out of darkness, within a

The prize for the best Congressional wise crack of the month, goes to Congressman Eaton, of New Jersey. They were discussing in the lower house the pronouncement that "if business does NOT take up the slack, the government will." Mr. Eaton remarked: "It would be fairer to say that if the government will slack up on the 'take,' business will be able to take up on the slack."

Ag" not guaranteed---Some I have told br 20 years---Some less They Consid eted it a Reflection on Their Activity A new family moved onto a farm in the Ozarks, and

"Us folks don't like the way youall suspicion us," he

brought quite a lot of valuable stuff with them. They filled a tool house with modern farm tools and equipment, and put a big padlock on the tool-house door. To their surprise and puzzlement their reception by their neighbors was particularly cool. So the newcomer picked out a neighbor whose lookes he liked and decided to question him and find out what was wrong. So he cornered the neighbor and asked him the direct question. He got a direct answer.

"What do you mean suspicion you. We don't suspicion any of you. We like you and we want you to like us, because we think we are good folks."

"Well," said the other, "if you don't suspicion us, why did you put that big lock on your tool-house door. YOU KNOW NOBODY IN THE OZARKS EVER STOLE ANYTHING TO WORK WITH.''

Los Angeles is Nation's "\(/hite Spot" on Building Map, Says FHA Official Southern California residents are building one out of every eight new homes under construction in the nationand Los Angeles is the "white spot" on the construction map of the nation, Bruce A. Wilson, of Washington, D. C., director of education for the Federal Housing Administration, stated before a group of Los Angeles business men at a luncheon at the Biltmore Hotel, Thursday, April 7. Allan Herrick, advertising manager of the Security-First National Ba.nk of Los Angeles, was host.

Ten states, said Mr. Wilson, account lor 75 per cent of all new building. These are California, New York, New. Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan.

Florida and Texas. California alone accounted for 20 per cent of the whole, leading all others, and Los Angeles county is leading the state.

Expansion of homebuilding has been marked since the Federal Housing Act amendments took efiect this year, he said. Last year, the week of March 26 recorded the all-time high in applications, when $16,829,000 was asked for. This year the total reached $17,300,000 the week of March 3, $20,100,000 in the March 12 week, $21,293,W the week of March 19 and $22,568,000 the week of March 26.

In March, Soutl,ern California led all districts with 3051 applications representing $13,781,000. The new business here will be felt in increased construction operations in April and early May, the speaker remarked.

At a dinner meeting in the evening, Mr. Wilson addressed a group of about 300, including realty representatives, lummen and builders, held in the Los Angeles Times auditorium. The meeting was sponsored by Building Contractors Association of Southern California. Col. William H. Evans, president of the Association, presided. Mr. Wilson explained the FHA program and what it had accomplished.

Other speakers included Capt. W. G. Bingham, associate FHA director in Southern California; Charles Berry, vicepresident of the Twelfth Reserve District of the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Phil Norton, president of the l-os Angeles Realty Board.

Don't Fear Contagion

By Jack Dionne You never ccrn tell in cdvqnce iust whcrt chord will strike the proper spot.

The little editoricl on this pcrge in the Mcrch lSth issue-"Simplicity in Salesmanship"-is still going-still bringing us returns. We reprinied mcnry thouscnds ol them. <rnd supplied demcnds

lrom mcnlr qucrters.

"Thct little serrnon will help mqny q fcltering sqlesmcur over <r rough spot in the rocd," wrote c big employer oI lumber crnd shingle sclesmen.

There wcs one point in thcrt little serrnon that ccn never be too grectly emphcsized, ncmely: MONE PEOPI.E YOU OFFER YOUR PROPOSITION TO, T}IE LABGER NI'MBER OF SAI.ES YOU WILL MABE.- For THIS is the spincl column oI the body oI SALESMANSHIP. ..TTIE

The successlul sqlesmqn iust SEIJS, SEIIS, SETIS cll the time, dcy cnd night. He stcrrts out in the morning by selling himseU. He sells his fcrmily, sells the policemcrn on the corner, the street c<rr conductor, the mcilmcrn, the folks in the office, crnd everyone with whom he comes in contact through the dcy. Thus he keeps himseH "pepped up" to sell his customers. He is so filled with his selling mission thcrt he cannot be denied. For THIS you need thct grect ingredient-ENTHUSIASM.

Out oI the mqss oI men who try to sell lumber there qrises now qnd then a m(m so simple in his methods, so convincing in his mcsurer, so conclusive in his discussions, crnd so splendid in his results, thcrt he seems just "c naturcl born scle$nqn"" And he ISN'T. He hcrs simply lecrned the lundamentals outlined in the little story-"Simplicity in Scrlesmcnship."

He possesses ENTHUSIASM. He larows his own goods. He knows whct they meqn to the OTIIER FEIIOW. He lsrows how to trqnslqte them into terms ol the other lellow's needs. He knows how to meet the other lellow simply, smilingly, interestingly, qnd knows how to sit down and tell in understcsrdable crnd qttrqctive mqnner just whcrt the thing is thcrt he wcnts to sell.

And most oI all, he isn't cfrcid ol COMAGION; isn't clrcid to expose himsell to too many orders,' isn't drcid oI WORK. He knows thqt the number of sqles he will mcke depends upon the

number oI ellorts he mcrkes to sell.

Too mcrny sclesmen lcril to see the similcnity between their selling crnd their goU. II they go out cnd shoot "pcr" on their first business hole by selling the prospect, they wcrnt to "ccrll it c dcy."

If they shoot pcr on their first gbU hole, they wcrnt to 9o right on cnd try to shoot it on iust trs mqny more holes cs possible belore dcrrk.

Try the scrme stunt with your selling, cnd wqtch the results.

NEW GRADING RULES FOR STRUCTURAL REDWOOD

A new publication, Standard Specifications for Structural Grades of California Redwood lumber, has just been released and is available to engineers by writing the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. This amends and replaces the specifications for structural grades published in October, 1936.

In addition to establishing the new specific gravity tests, several minor characteristics, heretofore permitted in Structural Redwood are now excluded. These include box-heart pieces, excessively sappy lumber and objectionable angle of

grain. The new grading rules are offered as an improve-

ment upon those previously acceptable to and used by railrvay and state highway engineers.

SOUTHLAND VISITORS Jack Robinson, of Robinson Manufacturing Company, Everett, Wash., and Mrs. Robinson, were in Los Angeles recently on a vacation trip.

LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY

PRACTICE VERSUS PREACHING

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox It is easy to sit in the sunshine And talk to the man in the shade; It is easy to float in a well-trimmed boat, And point out the places to wade.

THE OPEN ROAD

By David Grayson It is the prime secret of the Open Road that you are to pass nothing, reject nothing, despise nothing upon this earth. As you travel, many things both great and small will come to your attention; you are to regard all with open eyes and a heart of simplicity. Believe that everything belongs somewhere; each thing has its fitting and luminous place within this mosaic of human life' The Road is not open to those who withdraw the skirts of intolerance or lift the chin of pride. .Rejecting the least of those who are calted conunon or unclean, it is (curiously) you yourself that you reject.

If you despise that which is ugly you do not know that which is beautiful.

Woods neatly summarized the convention when he said, "Where ever men meet, progress is made." Mr. Woods praised the present day co-operative attitude betu.een the manufacturing and distributing branches of the lurnl>er industry, giving particularly high praise to the Bureau's rlealer distribution policy.

Mr. Wilson talked on the Federal Housing Administra-. tion and on the home building campaign in general, quoting the latest figures on FHA commitments which showed a decided upward trend in 1938 as compared with a year ago.

The FHA paper work, Mr. Wilson said, precedes actual construction by five to eight weeks.

"If we are going to have any volume in home building," he stated, "we.must look to that great group with incon.res of less than $2000 per year as they constitute 8O per cent of the population. They are naturally limited to homes costing not more than $5000, and the figure should preferably be lower than that maximum."

Mr. Wilson gave a most interesting breakdown of the home into the four principal factors of shelter, mechanical equipment, environmental factors, and financing. He stressed the need for keeping these four items in proper relationship to each other.

Other speakers who appeared on the program were Carl Blackstock, vice-president, National Retail Lumbr!r Dealers Association, Seattle, who brought a message from that group; and Harry H. Steidle of the Division of Trade Standards, Washington, D. C.

W. W. Woodbridge, manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, in his annual report was definitely optimistic over progress made during the past year and the prospect for better business in future months. He discussed the development of the by now famous Certigrade Home as a joint enterprise tying in the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, with particular reference to its secretary, Frank Carnahan, the National Plan Service, Inc. of Chicago, and its president J. M. Wright, whose architectural stafi designed the Certigrade Home in cooperation with the technical staff of the Federal Housing Administration.

Other Bureau executives on the program were President P. H. Olwell; G. A. Brewer, assistant manager; R. M. Ingram, chairman of the advertising committee; and Frank H. Alcott, the Bureau's Nerv York director of Public Relations.

Resolutious were passed expressing appreciation to E. E,. Woods of the Southwestern Lumbermen's Association;

to Frank Carnahan and the National Retail Lumber Dealer's Association; to Bruce A. Wilson and the Federal Housing Admini3tration with specific reference to the Administrator, Stewart McDonald; to H. H. Steidle and the Division of Trade Standards; and to J. M. Wright and his

Reciprocity Must \(/ork Both \(/ays S.y Lumbermen Washington, D. C., April 4,-Asserting that the American lumber industry approves and accepts reciprocity in trade agreements but that reciprocity must work both ways, Wilson Compton and W. B. Greeley, appearing before the Committee for Reciprocity Information, today, urged either access for American lumber without discrimination to British Countries, or protective tariffs at home.

The former is secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C., while the latter holds a similar position with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle.

The Committee which is holding hearings on the pending trade agreement with Canada, also heard the following representatives of lumber interests: A. N. Frederickson, Eastern Zone sales manag'er, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co.; A. L. Jenny, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co. and Polson Lumber Co.; A. P. Leatherbury, Atlantic Coast manager, Chas.

R. McCormcik Lumber Co.; and W. S. Culbertson, Lumber Industry attorney of export-import affairs.

In enumerating the reasons for the decline of U. S. lumber exports from first to fifth place, Dr. Compton emphasized the precedent-setting importance of the prese,nt agreement which will determine to a large extent the future course of American export and import trade. We can do one of three things, said Compton: (1) Pave the way for' gradual resumption of major export trade with British Colonies from which the lumber industry is excluded at present because of discriminations arising out of the British Empire preferential lumber tarifis; (2) Or failing in this, we rnay lake means of holding our own domestic lumber markets against imported species for the benefit of increased production and .increased employment in Amefican sarn-mills; or (3) IJnsuccessful in the first two, the agreement may pave the way for the further gradual disintegration of the American lumber industry at the very time the President of the United States is urgently calling for united public and industry action to protect and perpetuate our forest resources, to increase our forest'ierripXoyments and to maintain our forest-industry-dependent-communities.

Summarizing this stand the lumbermen said: "Our industry will much prefer equ4l access to foreign markets with only reasonable cost-equalizing tarifis at home, to any system of exclusion tariffs at home. It is {undamentally and naturally an export industry and in its

major species it will so continue. But if the United States Government after three years of diligent and earnest effort, is unable to secure-or is unwilling to grant the further concessions necessary to secure-access for American lumber without discriminations to British Countries, then w'e ask for protective tariffs at home suficient to hold, for our own mills and our own employes, the domestic markets for lumber of species which our own mills can adequately supply; and that such tariffs be continued until the opportunity to compete in the British Countries on equal terms and rvithout discriminations shall have been restored."

Mr. Greeley in presenting figures to shor,v the harmful effect of the Canadian'frade Agreement on the West Coast export market stated: "The fundamental obligation of the American Government, in so far as lies within its power in trade negotiations, is to assure domestic industry an adequate volume of production and employment."

He urged the government to make the continuation of any concession in lumber duties to Canada contingent upon the granting of tariff parity by the United Kingdom for American lumber with lurnber from any Empire source.

Plan Books for Arizona Dealers Chris Totten, secretary of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association, Inc., in a bulletin to its members, announces that through the cooperation of the Arizona Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, which comprises many of the leading architects of the State, about thirty plans of homes, all built of wood, every one insulated and ranging in price from $150o to $5500, will be produced through a special committee of architects. of which Fred Whittlesey is chairman.

The Association will have printed 5000 books showing these thirty or more homes, along with sufficient descriptive matter to enable a prospective home owner to obtain a fair idea of just what the finished home rvill be. The book will contain fifty or more pages, and will be printed on heavy enamel paper.

A space will be left on the cover for the dealer's name.

The books will be distributed only by the retail lumber and building material dealers, and will be available to all members of the Association.

Nu-Wood Insulating Sheathing Announced

1145 East 63rd St., Los Angel*

ADams 11108

Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota, announces Nu-Wood Insulating Sheathing as an addition to their line of structural insulation products. Paul A. Ward, sales manager, in making this announceme.nt said, "This sheathing is an entirely new product-it is different from anything we have produced before. Nu-Wood Insulating Sheathing has been produced after considerable research both in the market as to the type of product needed and in our laboratories as to the preparation of the type of product best suited to this need. It is designed to give a high degree of maintained insulaton at low original cost."

Nu-Wood Insulating Sheathing is 25/32" thick. It has a double coating on both sides of a special bituminous compound to form a protection against the penetration of moisture. It is available in sizes 4' wide, varying from 8, to 12' in length-is marked for nailing to speed up erection.

Mr. Ward stated that the new sheathing has greater structural strength and that the special double coating has a high melt point which makes it easy to handle in hot wg4thql-also, that the tough coating will not foul or clog tools.

"While the name Nu-Wood Insulating Sheathing implies residence construction," said Mr. Ward, "this product has many other usages. Because of the extra moisture protection, farmers should find it desirable for insulating dairy barns, hog houses, and brooder houses-wherever body heat produces a high degree of humidity. It is also well suited

to cottages and small utility buildings."

Samples may be had by writing to the Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

knowledge that formed a good groundwork for her future.

She left this firm 15 years ag'o to go with Hill & Morton.

Most of this time has been spent in the sales department.

business on the Pacif-

ic Coast is Ella L. Moore, chief assistant to H. Sewall Morton of Hill & Morton, Ellq L. Moore Oakland. Calif.

This good looki,ng Native Daughter of California was born in Duncans Mills, in historic Sonoma County, on the famous Russian River, about five miles from its mouth and the resort "Jenner-by-the-Sea." When she was a child Duncans Mills was a sawmill town, and all that section was filled with loggers and mill men, so that it may be a logical development that she should later become one of the Nation's most efficient lumberwomen, Her people were sturdy California pioneers, her grandparents having crossed the plains from Indiana in a covered wagon in 1849, and she inherited from them that pioneer spirit which has built up the West.

She attended high school and business college in Santa Rosa. Her first business experience, with the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company there, in the construction department, she considers a valuable one. Her first position in the lumber industry was with Sunset Lumber Company, Oakland, in the sales department, where she gained

sawmill men in California and the Pacific Northwest. If there is any retail lumberman who has a doubt as to her ability to handle an order, let him just give her a ring.

Much could be written about another side of her career, in which she has been just as successful as in her business career; her life-long devotion to her mother, who recently passed away, and to the family of her sister, Mrs. June Moore La Franchi, with whom she lives in an attractive suburban home on acreage in Castro Valley. Here Miss Moore takes time out from her busy life to indulge her hobby of growing things. She specializes in raising vege-

tables.

She is active in church and philanthropic work, beihg a trustee of a local First Presbyterian Church, in connection with which she also has a group of high school girls where study as well as recreational work is carried on. A pet charity to which she has contributed both money and time for many years is a girls' and women's organization called the "D. I. S." Club in Santa Rosa, which gives medical and other assistance to the needy poor.

She is too busy to devote much time to lodges but is a Past Officer and Past District Deputy in the Rebekahs, a branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Miss Moore and her sister spend most of their vacations and week-ends at their log cabin on the old home ranch on the Russian River.

Armstrong Announces Temseal Sheathing Armstrong Cork Products Company, makers of the Tem-

lok line of insulating board, announces the new Temseal

insulating sheathing which combines the value of an asphalt coating with paper reinforcement, giving structural strength and resistance to the infiltration of air and moisture.

Accorcling to the manufacturers, a surface application of asphalt forms an effective vapor seal, and permanently bonds the layer of strong kraft to the Temlok board, making building paper unnecessary. Both sides and the long edges of Temseal sheathing are sealed with asphalt and kraft paper. Asphalt sweated into the ends of the boards completes the seal.

Temlock, which forms the body of Temseal, is composed of fibres of the Southern long leaf yellow pine.

Temseal is offered in the standard sheathing thickness of 25/37', and in sizes 4' long by 6' to 12, feet long. It is shipped four pieces to the package, and well protected against damage in transit. It is installed quickly and inexpensively, being nailed directly to the studding with large lreaded galvanized roofing nails, I3f" long.

One Coat Oil Paint Gives Sand Finished Effect "Sand finished walls have been one of the most stable of interior decorations throughout the last 50 years," said N. W. Schwartzlose, of the Oakley Paint Manufacturing Company, Los Angeles, recently.

"In more recent years the jazz and irregular type surfaces became quite a fad, but during 1937 and the beginning of this year the sand finished surface has again become the

material, comes forward with a finish to meet this exigency and the vast number of inquiries have already fully established our new product, Sandifect, as more than meeting the need along this line.

"Sandifect has all the qualifications required, economy, appearance, durability, practicability. With one coat of this material an unfinished surface of veneer or plywood may be converted into a lasting and washable sand finished wall or ceiling; a beautifying effect for the home, office or store, that is readily kept clean becattse of the tough, elastic oil paint film it produces.

"Thus this company has rnade it possible for every user of wallboard, plywood and hard board to obtain the finest kind of a sand finish with the minimum of expense. The home orvner is able to produce any effect he desires for his rvalls and ceilings, and transforrn the appearance to any desired color in a sand finished effect. It is an opportunity at a low cost to continue the present conservative trend of wall coating and finishes. Sandifect is easy to apply and requires no skill rvhatever to obtain the most pleasing and satisfying result."

These surfaces being practical and economical. they rvill undoubtedly become a factor in the many houses that are beginning to be built under the new Federal Housing Plan using the FHA loans. It is predicted that during the years 1938 and 1939, the increase of this type finish will exceecl the expectations of the manufacturers because economy, together with substantiality will be the keynote of the vast building operations of this character during the coming period.
