When the thunder of war is roaring, And the earth spits death and pain, When the bornrbs fall from a war red sky, And they bathe the field like rain; When your boy goes forth in battle, " And it seems that your prayer's denied, God and His angels are with him, for, The Red Cross is by his side.

When that stalwart humorist and philosopher Irvin Cobb died the other day, he left behind a letter for all the world to read. it did. And it was probabty the best thing Cobb ever wrote. In that letter he essayed to quote from memory Robert Louis Stevenson's self-written epitaph He said if he had quoted the wordi wrong, to please correct him. He had. The epitaph, which is lettered on a bronze panel set in the great Concrete tornb of Stevenson on a inountain top in Sarnoa, reads as follows:

rF*{<

Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave 4nd let me lie, Glad did I live, and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be, Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.

'f**

It is interesting to know that, in addition to this beautiful self-written epitaph, Stevenson's monument also bears a panel on which is inscribed in the Samoan language their translation of the wondrous words of Ruth to Naomi: "Whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest. I veill lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried." Stevenson is one of the world's great writers who grgws greater as the years roll along and,his works become bgtter known. ***-

There have been many bureaucratic governments in the history of the world, but the only one f ever heard of that I would vote for was the one that the Chinese pilosopher and teacher Confucius told about some 25(X) years ago. He said:

"The ancients who wished to illustrate virtue throughout ' the kingdom first governed well their state. Wishing to govern well their state they first cultivated their personalities. Wishing to.cultivate their personalities they

first rectified their minds. Wishing to rectify their minds they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts they first extended to the utmost their knowledge." ***

There was a bureaucracy that could have been electedr, in any land at any time, and given a full vote of confidencq.,il Which reminds me that Churchill demanded and was giveiii a splendid vote of confidence by the British Parliament thC:' other day, They had been stornping on the old boy's corns; pretty hard, and he got tired of it. I read some weeks ago 1; where one of his critics in Parliamint referred to him as"Joe Stalin's Charlie McCarthy." No wonder he got mad::,i But wasn't that quite-a compliment for our American ven-.;*{ triloquist, Edgar Bergen?

Again speaking of Confucius. He was not only one ofii the greatest teachers, in the world's history; he wag qn6:;i: of ihe toughest to study under. T isten to his own wordi,lir,J what he required of a pupil: "When I have presented one. "l: corner of a subject and the listerier cannot unfold the'other' three, I do not repeat,my lesson." That was a tough clas*,* to go to sleep in.' {<r}r};

The kind of a bureaucracy Confucius talked abouJ would,,,i have been a perfect form of human government. In order.. to rule wisely his ancients sought to make themselve$ juit:jt, and perfect, so they would be perfect administrators of ,:,i government. Someone asked Voltaire one time if he did: 't_-i .not think a Monarchy the most perfect form of govern,. ri:! ment, and the great Frenchman replied that he did, but ',i only if Marcus Aurelius was the Monarch. He considered' that great Roman a perfect governor, and so he would have,- ll headed a perfect government. The finest possible govern*,i'l ment would be one in which the head or heads were justr.i;1 understanding, unselfish, super-intelligent, but most of all,-,j free from the human frailties that invariably creep in when: i j ever ordinary men are given too much power. An4: r: naturally, the objection to that form of government is ,l! that when the perfect ruler or rulefs are gone-what then?.':'r: +,i*

Are Japs human? Let's consider the question. Anthro. .l,i pologists have long since established certain critefia to rI distinquish humans from other animals. There are five -.i distinguishing markings: rectili4ear erectness, fat footed:'i,, ness, general haiilessness of skin, conxparatively large brain capabity, nonopposable great toes. What of the Japs? .; They stand up straight; they have fat feet; their brain 6izei,, is ample; their skin is less hairy than ours. But, Ah, .that '.

fifth! A Jap's big toe is pet well apart from the other toes on his foot, much like a thumb. It looks like it was made for climbing trees, or for gripping things as the monkeys do with their feet. It is not a human big toe, as measured by the big toes of hurnans generally. Add to his big toes his beastliness and his fiendish enjoyment of human torture, and you've gOt something that isn't quite human. But then what is it? Easy enough. It's, just a Jap. ***

The worst tongue lashing I have heard the government get this year was from a wounded marine who sat next to me at a lunch counter. He had had 18 months of fighting in the Pacific, wore a lot of ribbons as well as the purple heart. You have no trouble understanding what a Marine means when he cuts loose. He ordered several articles of , food. One was butter. None was availablo. Then the fur flew. He wanted to know when those "blankety-blanks in Washington" were going to quit trying to feed the world and tiying to give away everything this nation owns? Said he didn't believe in giving away anything to anybody that this nation needs. Imm,ediate first aid after an invasion was all right, he said, but no more. ***

He told about reading a news article with a Washington - date line that said the government had twenty millions of pounds of accumulated butter on hand right then, but the authorities had not made up their minds whether to reiease it for civilian use, or hold it for Lend-Lease. "!V'hen f read that," said this big Marirrc, "I saw more red than I did at Guadalcanal." ***

i, - I often wonder if folks who talk about feeding the world i,, , with American food, have any idea of the size of the job.

They pillaged parts of France twice more beiore Chriq$ It was their regular line of business. In274 A.D., the Rhorfiii basin was invaded by the Germans. One year later they_ went into Nor1hsas1e1n France. In 301 A.D., they-pi Langres, but were finally beaten off. In 351, th;y ;;:; quered the left bank of the Rhine. In 354, tley Lyons, and in 360, they plundered and burned They invaded Belgium in 364. Since that time have invaded their neighbors in the following years: 382, 400, +1.O, 4L3,' 900, g5E, g7g, 1124, 1214, 15L3, 1523i 1536, L54+, L552, 1553, 1567, 1569, 1575, 1576, L674, 1675, 17017, L7O8, 174+, 1792, 1793, 1914, 1915, 1914, 1939. Truly it has been well said that the chief ness of Germany, is war.

They cut the gasoline ration in March, as you undoubqj edly know, and the public. was told that shortage of oilit and gasoline made it imperative. I attended a big meeting a feriv days after the cut went into effect, at which a,-lqt1 of prominent oil rnen were voicing their indignation at thi.; oil situation.' They were highly comp€tent, experienced,? nespected oil producers, who know all there is to knoF; about the oil situation. And this is what I heard theseij authorities say about oil, just to give you an idea: The proa;.? posed United'States.Saudi Arabian pipe line, stinks. Thos were the exact wofds used. They condemned it as a sen$e-i 'less, useless, impractical proposal, and *er6 definite tliatl{ there is "a nigger in the woodpile," or several, of theni.'rl They condemned it utterly as a measure for either wqf,ll or peace.

The history of Germany is the history of invasion of their neighbors. They've been at it since .one hundre{ years before Christ on an average of once every fifty years. One hundred yearg 8.C'., 30O,O00 Germans invaded France, murdering and burning as they went. They were whipped at Aixen-Provense, sued for peace, and promised to be good. But 60 years later, 240,000 Germans invaded France again. Six years after that 400,000 Germans invaded the territory between the Meuse and the Oise. They were driven back.

o o r prGpcred to serve civilicn needs

THrs swimming pool is serving the young men of the nation at a military training base. It is another example of the rnany better values in wood developed through advanced lumber engipeering practice. Its framing members are made of lumber-fine, kiln dried, carefully selected boards, laminated with modern stmctural glues to form great arches, continuous from foundation to rocif ridge.

These glued laminated wood arches were engineered for snow Ioads, wind loads, concentrated loads. They were fabricated with precision, under modern factory controls. They were delivered to the job site, ready for erection.

In the not too distant tomorrow there will be many such structures serving the youth of America-as pools, gymnasiums, auditoriums, and play halls. They will come from toards of designers who are already creating buildings for the new age of progress.

Many of these new structures will be built with glued laminated wood arches and ply beams, not only because they are engineered to do the job, but their natural beauty makes them a majbr part of the decorative scheme.

These structures will be built by the contractors and builders who already have the skill and experience in building withlwood. Engineering in lumber which embraces product improvement, new methods of joining, and building design, is.prepared to help you serve civilian needs better and more economically.

Todcy

I've shut the door on yesterday, Its sorrows and mistakes; I've locked within its gloomy walls; Past failures and heartaches; And now I throw the key away To seek another room, And furnish it with hope and smiles, And every spring-time bloom. No thought shall enter this abode, That has a hint of pain, And neither malice nor distrust, Shall ever therein reign.

I've shut the door on yesterday, And thrown the key away, Tomorrow holds no doubt for rne, Since I have found today.

A Dcrk Excuse

Rastus had come late to worh and the boss was cross, and demanded to know why. So the darkey reached into his imagination for a good excuse, and came out with this one:

I'Boss, I'll tell you whuts de trouble wuz. H'it was dat lookin' glass in my room. When I gots up dis mornin' I looks in de glass an' never could see myself no place. So I made up my mine I had done gone to wuk. Afteh a while f notices dat de glass is done gone outa dat lookin' glass frame. Dass why I didn't see myself when I looks.' An' dass how come I gots here late."

Diggrng Holes

A newspaper reporter tried once to get Rex Beach to discuss the secret of his success. Rex declined. Being urged further, he said the best answer he knew was the one the Swede gave, when he was asked how fre had become the owner of sei'eral very rich mines in the Klondyke. The Swede said:

"Ay never tole no vun before, but Ay tell you now how it ban. Ay yust kept on digging holes."

Beecher Scrid:

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else.

Altitude

A soldier bought a gallery ticket for one of the Broadway moyie palaces where they have just one balcony after the other. The young lady usher took him up and up and still higher up. Finally she stopped, handed him his ticket stub, and said. "You'Il find a seat on the next floor above. This is as far as f go. Higher than this, my nose bleeds."

, Friends

It is my joy in life to find, At every turning of the road, The strong arm df a comrade kind, To help me onward with my load. And since I'have no gold to give, And love alone must make amends, My only prayer is, while I live, God make me worthy of my friends.

I was kissed by a rascal with laughing eyes, , ii And his kiss was hearty and warm;

He thought he had taken me by surprise, Just an innocent lass from the farm.

He said he was partial to dark brown hair, And he pulled my brunbtte curls;

He thought I'd be spellbound, and wouldn't care, Just like all his other girls.

He lauded my figure, my eyes, my skin, As only a ladies' man does;

He thought I would surely be taken in.; As a matter of fact, I was.

Passage o[ Co-operative Sustained Yield Act Encourages Long Range Forest Planning

Washington, March 22,-Greater stabilizatiol.r of forcst con.rmunities is expected by foresters to result fron'r neu, legislation adopted by Congress today.

The measure authorizes the Secretaries oi Agricultttre anrl Interior to cooperate with the forest industries b1' giving exclusir-e pnrchase rights for timber harvesting on government land to private owners of acijaccnt forcsts provitled a harvesting schedule for the private lancl as rvell as thc public lancl is integrated on a basis to assure a continuecl balance of grot'th and f ield. The inclusion of tin-rber owned by state and local governments in such arrangements is also perrnittecl by the nerv legislatior.r.

It is expected that this larv u,ill have its greatest public benefit in areas u,here private o\\:ners of {orest lands do not Possess a sufficier.rt cluantitv of timber to permit them to ltal:rnce hart.ests u'ith 1611' grou'th, but n'here the inclusion of nearby governurent-ot,nerl timber s-ottlcl create a unit large enough to make balanced harvesting possible.

Voluntary but ll'idespread adoption of these arrangcrrcnts is expected both by government and industrv spoltesmen.

The resultant balancing of grou'th rvith f ield will assure hundreds of forest communities that the tinrber rcsorlrccs 11polr rvhich their livelihood depends will be n-raintainerl on a perpetual basis.

Both Secretary Wickard of thc Dcpartn'rent of Agricr-rlture and Secretary Ickes of the Department of Interior endorsed the measure which was introducecl by the late Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, in January 1943. The principles of the bill, horvever, were first vigorously urgecl by X{ayor David T. I\{ason, consulting forester, of Portland, Oreson, 17 years ago, and rvere repeatedly a<lvocated by spokesmen for the forest industries.

It lvas the seconcl lneasure adopted by Congress in less than 30 days on recommendation by the forest industries ancl by independent foresters as a step to help assure perpetuation of timber resources. The previous lneasure lvas a tax reforn-r amendment which removed inequities in the previous federal tax law which tended to discourage sustained tree farming.

FHA Applications Gain Momentum

In the first three months oL 1944, over 38 million dollars of insured-loan applications, covering more than 7,000 cases, for privately-constructed dwellings, were received for processing by the Federal Housing Administration, Southern California District offices. This volume is an increase of more than 200 per cent over the same period of last year, John E. McGovern, director, Southern California District, FHA, announced.

FHA's first quarterlv report for 1944 shows that private lending institutions filed applications r,r'ith Southern California District offices for insurance of mortgages totaling $38,059,322 coveting 7,360 mortgages. This volume compares with $12,130,000 in applications for the insurance of 2,647 Ioans for the same period of.1943.

ThiS volume arises largely through Title VI operations which reached a volume of 6,'506 mortgages for $33,348,300. Title VI is the FHA's medium for facilitating new war-housing, practically all of which housing continues to be geared directly to war production and the needs of specific plants for manpower, Mr. McGovern said.

'' Balance of the volume is represented by Title II applications received from private lending institutions for a volume of over $4t{mittion. Title II applications pertain largely to 'refinancing of loans on existing home properties wh€re transfers of ownership occur. Title II, insured loans continue available in the present-day market up to 80/o, and sometimes 90/o, of. FHA-appraised v-alue of the property, for terms up to 20 years, Mr. McGovern concluded.

L-290 Amended--Deliveries of \(/estern

Lumber from Sawmill Stock

Limitation Order L-290 as amended which became effective March 27, 1944, eliminates from the definition of the lumber covered-shingles, lath, slabs, railroad cross ties or switch ties, mine ties, edgings, trims and off-fall less than three inches wide or less than four feet long, and used lumber.

The definition of "Producer" has been changed to cover only sawmills and the order regulates only the transfer or delivery of "sawmill stock" by producers. Excluded from the definition of a producer are both retail and wholesale distribution yards even though such yards process more than 25/o of the volume of lumber received for the servicing of specibl orders from customers.

The certificate for requirements of War Agencies requires the prime contract or purchase order number, the name of the War Agency; Contractor or Sub.contractor who will use the lumber.

A new paragraph (g) has been added restricting inventories , to a 90-day supply, except lumber released on Form WPB-2720 or a specific directive WPB.

An Editorial... \(/ritten bv the Life Daeds of a

Reprinted lrom The Log of Long-Bell, March; 1944

Most of the western United States was young ...andboisterous... wild and woolly ; and free and easy "live and let live" *'as the creed of the still living but beginning to fadefrontiers...when B. H. Smith signed on for a lifetime of conscientious living and uprighteous en deavors withLong-Bell ...January l,1894.

In 1898 he went to Thomasville, Indian Territory, as gene manager of the King-Ryder Lumber Company, operator of planing mill supplied by ten small'sawmills scattered th the mountains and along the Kansai City Southerh, in sas. The o;ieration in 1900 was moved to Bonami,.I-a., Mr. Smith also went, as general manager, remaining l907,,when he went to Longville, I.a., as general mahager-: built the Longville Lumber Company plant. When his temporarily failed, he relinquished the management therEl J. W. Martin, had a leave of absence, and then, 12 years left the active production of lumber in the Midwest and for a home on the Pacific Coast, at Sacramento, in the rOIoJ of sales. representative for the Company for that region."..''i{

Smith

V, B. Rell was president of the Company and R. A. Long, who died as chairman of the board in 1934 after half a century with the Company that bore his name, was secretary and general manager.

W. L. Mace was manager <if the plant at Van Buren, Ark., and John Fontaine was in charge of the Texarkana office.

There rvas life and bustle, freedom unlimited, in an expanding era soon to become an era of invention . the automobile the gramophone . . . electric street cars and incandescent lights , the telephono . and a 60-mile train known as "The Flier" on nearly every railroad . predecessors of the mechanical and-scientific marvels of today.

It was a virile and courageous America that B. H. Smith was to help build into the giant of the nations, when he joined Long-Bell, as assistant manager of the Pacific Coast Lumber and Supply Company, a wholesale and retail yard at Twentieth and Troost, in'Kansas City.

Years of movement followed. In 1895 he succeeded Mr. Fontaine as manager of the Sabine Valley Lumber Company, and wholesale and retail buyer of yellow pine, at Texarkana.

A Grand Old l\{an, B. H. Smith is still in the harness,'help': ing to move the lumber where it is needed'most by the he loves, the country whose zest for the sheer joy of livir through good times or bad, he will never be willing to relinf quish to the drabness and dullness and moral decay of the reg+; imented life.

His was the fun of the fight . . . the striving . . . and the; gaining nor losing heart wheg trifling ground was lost ,i'; the spirit that all men, deep in their hearts, admire and to have, rather than a spirit of acceptance of an ordered a monotonous existence,wherein all decisions are those of " ,. :-,i body else." ir,

Well, Old Feller, maybe the first fifty years are the . but here's to your next half never lose your punch.

THE HOUSE OT THE TUTURE

A prodigious volume of words is pouring lorth regcrding the house oI the future. Some of it mckes sense; some doesn't. It's one thing to scy thct tomorrow's house will be better thcln yesterdcy's. Thqt mqkes sense. But to scry it will be <r miracle does not mcrke sense.

OI course the house of the luture will be in stride with progress! By the scme token, inherently prccticcl Mr. cnd Mrs. America will build of good design, pedigreed materials and sound construction; for their house will very likely represent the lcrgest single investment ol cr liletime and lor cr lifetime. They will not ieopardize such qn investment with untested innovqtions!

The ccrse lor cr scne crpprocrch to the house of the luture hcrs been exceptioncrlly well stated by Editor Stowell ol Architectural Becord. His views cre prccticcrl qnd recrssuring to the building profession qnd trcdes. They crre reprinted with his permission in the crdioining column, in the interest ol sound thinkinq crboul post-wcr home building.
