It looks to me as though the lumber industry right now is in the exact position of the dog in the old, old story. ,'The bear was chasing the dog," so that old story went, "and, seeing that the bear was gaining o4 him, the dog just ran up a tree." "Wait a minute," said the skeptical listener, "a dog can't climb a tree." "Can't, Hell !" replied the story teller, "this dog HAD TO CLIMB A TREE." ttrN
I really think it's that way now. The industry is full of these doubting Thomases who always doubt if certain things can be done. They've always doubted that they COULD get out and create business by suggestion, by creating desire, by changing the passive prospect into the active one. ft was all right to doubt in times when they were doing a fairly satisfactory am.ount of business just following the old, old linE of least resistance. But how about this year? The old dependable just-enough-to-get-by volume isn't showing up. It isn't going to show up. The business we get this year is going to be largely what we go out after. The bear is close behind. It looks as though, like the dog in the story, yotr've GOT TO CLIMB THAT TREE YOU'VE BEEN,SHYING FROM SO LONG. Got to do it "or elset'. ++*
The kick-back from our go-out-and-sell edito,rials of lite is great. It comes from everlr direction. And here, there, and everywhere I see bobbing up live merchandisers with practical and useful helps for those who want to go out and create some business. The lumber dealer who sees the handwriting on the wall and wants to get started MAKING some business for himself, doesn't have to go out unaided. Many agencies are holding out to him thoughts and things and helps of a very useful and*ph]rsical character.
Note the following. It is part of an advertisCment of a big sawmill concern:
"Times are hard," says the Lumber Industry. "No one is buying lumber." True enough, but HOW MANY ARE SELLING LUMBER? And selling is not done by waiting for someone to buy. As long as a building remains in need of repair and as long as there are houses without modern built-in utilities and conveniences. there is'a lumber market. A systematic canvass offering practical suggestio'ns is bound to yield profitable returns. The building owner who makes a small improvement today is often stimulated thereby to larger profits tomorrow. Dealer and mill man are partners in production and distribution. It is the mill man's job to provide materials to meet modern merchandising requirements and the dealer's job is to sell it to the consumer. He must sell IDEAS and the DESIRE FOR IMPROVEMENT as well as materid.
Amen, I say. And still again, Amen. It was about eighteen months ago that I guoted in this column an editorial from Forbes' Magazine of business, in which was asked the question: "Why not keep our homes as up-to-date as our automobiles?" That seerned to the editor like a practical question. It WAS. If any other industry had such a practical possibility facing it, it would rejoicg in times like these'
Of course, the answer to Mr. Forbes' question is that keeping our hornes as up-to-date as our automobiles re. quires of the building industry the same sort of merchandising as that which keeps our automobiles up-to.the-minut€, and we don't seem to have it. The answer is that the average retailer can't seem to place himself in the position of being the birilding thinker of his community. He is accustomed to quoting on material bills that are brought to him, etc., but when it comes to going out to see what he can do to modernize and repair and improve the dwellings in his community, he just doesn't sEem to fit hirnself to the job. I'm talking about the majority. Not of the always live number who jump at and profit by these opportunities. ***
Mr. Jones buys a new car. Sixty days later the makers of that car have a new model on the market. There are little changes here and there, little niceties in the new car that were not in the old, things that catch the eye and create desire. And JONES WANTS THAT NEW MODEL. His new car isn't well broken in yet, BUT HE WANTS THAT NEW CAR.
Jones probably lives in a house ten or fifteen years old, that hasn't had one single improvement since he bought or built it. It is probably just as far behind the times as a car would be built when that house was built. But Jones doesn't think of that-isn't conscious of it. Jo,nes thinks AUTOMOBILE because the auto people keep parading in front of him new things, dazzling him, making him think, arousing his craving for possession, continually appealing to his dollars. He lives in the old-fashioned home because no one is making him think H*OME IMPROVEMENTS.
That's all there is to it. I say it's the retail lumberrnan's job to sell him new building ideas. ft's not only his job, it's his duty. It is a responsibility that he assumed when he became a retail lumberman. It's a stewardship. Ffe owes something to the people of his town, to keep them uptodate in HIS line of business. THIS year it is not only his
(Continued on Page 8)
(Continued from Pa3e 6)
JOB, and his RESPONSIBILITY to do these things, but it is going to be his SALVATION. And what the year will mean to him is going to depend on how much of this sort of work he does' * :r< *
Now, let's get this thing straight. I don't mean that the dealer ought to sell a complete modernization or conversion job to every old home in his territory. Not at all. As a matter of fact, I think this idea is being rather overdone in some of the modernization boosting that is going on. I want to GLORIFY THE SMALL ORDER. I want the dealer to sell something, regardless of how small, of a building improvement or rrepair character, to every human domocile in his sales territory.
***
Little jobs sell others. Every improvement brings a desire for something else. A new front door, a new mirror door, a new floor, some new windows, a new pot'ch, a new roof, a new side-wall job, a new closet, a new built-in for the kitchen orr the bedroom-all these things bring a desire for other new things. Go' out and see what your town needs, and sell every old home something to make it better. There isn't any more doubt that you can do it, than there is doubt
that the sun you CAN. will rise temorrow morning. It WILL, and d<rk*
But you've got to go after your job in a new way, you've got to get out of the old rut, yotr've got to grve up the old chair, you've got to get away from so much per thousand for lurnber. You've got to visualize what YOU can do for THEIII and sell them your stock-not as building material -but as the functions of those things which your stock will srrpply :r :B )r
Thousands of dealers, thank God, are already out and hustlirrg. The majority is still sitting and hoping that automatic business will pick up so that they won'trhave to get up an<l go out and hit the ball. One big line yard man-a great l)rogressive but rather pessimistic about retailers generally--told me that practically all the business his firm is doing is in repairing and remodeling jobs which they are gettinlf by personal'solicitation, and expressed the opinibn that rrost of their business the rest of the year would be the sarne.
I said to him: "But most of these dealers are still asleep." "Let them sleep," he said, laconically.
Building and r,raterial men of Minneapolis are so impressed with the success attending the efforts of the Home Modernizing Bureau in 1929 that they will continue the campaign this year, and will develop some new advertising methods.
Builders Exchange statisti'cs show that although there was an actual drop in the construction of new buildings in Minneapolis in 1929 of $1,557,315 as compared with 1928, there was an increase in additions and repairs-moderniz- ing-of 1,596,7W, showing a balance in favor of 1929 of $39,385. The amount spent in modernizing work in 1929 was $3,804,385.

It was in this Epoch of American History that Dolbeer & Carson 'Lumber Co. began manulacturing Redwood at Eurek., California. The original mill was but a collee pot compared with the great Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co. mill of today, yetvery large for that d.y and time; crude in its methods and equipm ent, yet well in advance of THOSE times. Six successively improved mills have replaced that first one, each bigger and better than the first---milestones of continual progress in the production of Uniform and Quality Redwood.

Several changes in the organization of The WheelerOsgood Company, Tacoma, Washington, manufacturers of Laminex and Woco doors and plywood, have just been announced.
For the past year, their General Sales Offices have been located in Chicago. This plan has not proved entirely satisfactory and the company believes that they can offer their distributors a more complete service from the Home Office at T,acoma.
Due to the growth of the ,company and the 'correspondingly larger number of details connected .ivith their business, they have felt that some officer of the company should be availlble for personal ,contact with the irade when important matters or policies are to be de,cided quickly. It is often impossible for one of the principals of The Wheeler, Osgood Company to make the long trip from the Pacific Northwest to the large markets in the east and middle west when these occasions arise, so they have made an arrang'ement which they believe will be of lconsiderable value to their distributors. W. S. Nurenburg, who has been with the organization for over twenty years and who has been General Sales Manager with headquarters in Chicago, has been elected a Vice-President and will represent the,company in'the eastern part of the country. His office will be in the Grand Central Terminal Building, New York City.
W. R. Ripley, who has been connected with the company for many years as Vice-President and Director of Sales, has resigned and W. L. Rawn has been ele,cted to su,cceed him. Mr. Rawn has been manager of both the Western Door Manufacturers'Association and the Ameri,can Export Door Corporation and is well known in the door and ply-' wood industry, both in the domestic and foreign markets.
The Wheeler, Osgood Company have also taken over the personnel of the former American Export Door Corporation and is now actively engaged in distributing Laminex and Waco products in the export field.
In addition to the General Offices at Tacoma, the company will maintain sales offices in New York, Chi,cago, Atlanta, Kansas Citv, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Spokane.
It is the desire of the company to also announce that no changes in their well re,cognized sales policy are contemplated.
G. P. Purchase, of the Coos Bay Lumber Company, Los Angeles, has returned from Bay Point, California, where he attended the company's monthly sales meeting.

They also operate a door factory at Sonora, Calif. Ttrey have two mills at Haslam, Texas, and a large line of retail lumber yards in the middle west and southwest.
W. A. Pickering attended Drury College at Springfield, Mo., after which he entered on his lumber ,career with his father. He was married to Miss Zoe Louise Cravens, of Springfield, in 1901. In 1889, his father moved the company's headquarters to Kansas City, and later W. A. Pickering went to Kansas City. Mr. Pickering maintained a home. Las Palmas, at Santa Monica, Calif., where Mrs. Pi'ckering, who has been an invalid for. sevelal years, and their family spent most of their time. Wh'en in Kansas City, Mr. Pickering made his home at the Villa Locarno.
Besides his wife, he is survived by two daughters, Miss Zoe I-ouise and Cynthia Ann Pickering, and one son, Russell C. Pickering who is associated with the company.

The building is one of those which escay'ed the fire in the 80's. The shingles and siding are in perfect condition, in spite of the fact that the lattei has not been painted for 30 yearS.
C. E. Dant, of Dant & Russell, Inc., Portland, Ore., returned recently from a three months' tour of Japan, China and the Philippine Islands. Mr. Dant reported that trade in China is depressed owing to the internal strife, and that Japan's imports of logs and lumber from the. Pacific Coast have decreased greatly owing to their financial depression. He reported that the Philippine Islands, generally speaking are prosperous, but that lumber manufacturing there has reached the point of over-production. He stated as his opiniori that there will be a great development in tlie Philippines when the question of independence is out of the way, and that this question is merely a matter of politics, there being no general demand for independence.

For thre_e years, from Janua ry, I9l9 to January 1922, commercial paper rates, \"y York, were high. Th6y fluctuated between 5/o and 8/o, These rates were not favorable to industry which during nearly all of. 1920 and for eight months of 1921 declined, bringing the hardest times of the generation.
For four years, from January t924 to January 1928, commercial paper rates
cyclical low, because of President Hoover's efforts and for other reasons for which we do not have space here, may go but little below the low point already reached at the beginning of the year.
paper rates have declined from 6fu/o to 3/+%. At the end of the six months there is little oi no evidence that the low p_oint for 1930 in industrial production has been reached. Cy.cles of industrial produ-tion usually make their low poin_ts at one of the seasonal low pointsl i. e., mid-summer or November-December. There ii no exceplion since the war and it is not likely thdt 1930 will prove io be one. This were low. They fluctuated between 3/s and 4%%. These rates were favorable to industry and to speculation. Accordingly from the peak in the spring of 1925 to the peak in the first half of 1929, industry in the United States was at a high level. Notice that this allows the usual lag of about fifteen months between the money rates and the industrial production. It does not overlook the
Previous issues of "Looking Ahead" have pointed out that major movements in industrial production are preceded by corresponding movements in money rates reversed. The chart in this issue of comparatively slight recession of. 1927. From the spring of 1924 to the fall of. 1929, there was a strong and almost-unbroken upward movement in stock prices, The chart shows the sharp brief declines in 1925-1926 and in the first half of 1929. Easy m-onel influenced speculation more quickly and more strikingly than it did industrial production.

During 1928 and, ten months ol 1929, commercial paper rates increased from 4Vo to 6%%. These rates, whili not so unfavorable as those of l92O and 1921, were mu,ch less favorable to industry than were the rates of. 1924 to t928. Accordingly_i1du9!ri1! production declined very sharply from the middle of.1929 to the first of 1930. In thi first four months of 1930, the seasonal spring increase has been less than normal. In the six months to May, 1930, commercial
"T,ooking Ahead" shows that.major movements in stock prices are similarly preceded by major movements in money rates reversed. The money rates shown in this chart are ,commercial paper rates, New york City; but in studying major movements only, Federal Reseive rediscount rates_, acceptance rates or time mongy rates will answer equally well.
Close and'careful study of the chart will prove profitable. Taking first any given movement in money ratei, find the corresponding' movement in stock prices ind the corresponding movement in industrial production. If the chosen movement of money rates is dournward, then find the following downward movement in stock prices and the following downward movement in industrial production. For any
upward movement of money rates find the following upward movements in stock prices and in industrial production.
From the low cyclical points-in every case except in 1921, stock prices turned up before industrial production.
From the cyclical peaks-in every case except 1929, stock prices turned down before industrial production. It is interesting to note that in the spring of. 1929 there was a sharp falling off in stock prices. This preceded the cyclical turn down in industrial production in June. Similarly in 192I, a few months before the cyclical turn up in industrial production, there was a decided rally in stock prices. Ilere were two notices that, in response to economic influences only, the ,cyclical turning points had arrived. Psychological influences delayed the actual turning points till later.
After the stock crash in October 1929, stock prices fell very abruptly and to a very low point. From this point they turned upward after money rates had begun to fall off. Industrial production turned up a little later, but this is doubtless only a minor movement, a seasonable movement, A study of the chart shows that the increase in stock prices that has occurred since November 1929 is the usual occurren'ce at this period of the cycle and as we have stated ordinarily it pre,cedes the major turnup in industrial production. In 1920 stock prices and industrial production turned up at the same time. In 1924 stock prices began to increase three months before industrial production. In 1926, stock prices began increasing in the spring. Industrial production turned up in the fall of L927. }Jerc was an unusually long lag. It illustrates the fact that stock prices were less influenced than was industrial production by the increase in money rates from 3% in the summer of. 1924 to 4rl/o in the fall of. 1926. In view of the facts we have just stated, it will not be surprising for stock prices in 1930 to keep on increasing (but not without minor reactions) for six to twelve months before industrial production makes its cyclical turn up.
This study is made to reassure those who are discouraged because industrial production and "business" have not yet turned up and are fearful because stock prices and speculation have been so rapidly increasing. Increasing stock pri,ces when money rates are falling is an evidence of the reasonable conviction of the majority of buyers and advisers basgd on past experience and economic law that improving business is not far off. On the other hand, increasing stock prices when money rates are abnormally high and are still rising is evidence of imbecility or temporary insanity on the part of the majority of buyers and advisers. Intentional misleading on the part of advisers is the only altern-ative explanation of the stock debacle of. 1929 and this seems inconceivable,

Recent announ'cements have been made by The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, in their advertisement in this paper, of a new pulley, the Dillon Jam Proof Sash Pulley, which is being used by them exclusively in their PALCO Redwood Frames.
This pulley, shown in the illustrations, is a new and improved design in which it is claimed that every requirement of a perfect sash pulley has been met and.defects on the old open types overcome. The fully enclosed design keeps the sash cord in the groove of the wheel all the time and insures long life {or the cord.
The appeal of this pulley to the contractor is its superior quality and the time saved in cording, and it appeals to the home owner because it will work under all conditions without any trouble
The chief points of superiority claimed for this pulley, which is manufactured by The Stanley Works, New Britain, Conn., producers of high class hardware for the past eighty years, are as follows:
(1) It cannot jam.
(2) The cord will not cut or fray.
(3) It completely closes the pulley opening in the window and keeps out insects and dust.
(4) It is easy to cord. The cord is naturally guided to the pocket and no mouse is needed.
(5) Rust resisting finish.
(6) Wrought steel construction prevents breakage loss common in cast pulleys.
(7) The completely enclosed design gives a much greater rigidity and strength than was possible in open types.

"Reducing the cost per ton mile," according to T. R' Bill' Sales Maniger of the Fageol Motors Com-pany, "is the constant pto=bl"* of the motor truck manufacturer. The increased'payload, the even distribution of load over the driving michanism, the greatly increas-ed road traction are outsta"nding features. of the four-wheel drive motor truck' The sreat"reduction of road impact means a substantial increi-se in the life of the motor truck with little, if any' wear to the highwaY."
"Motor truc[ manufacturers have been puzzled over the oroblem of accessibility of all component parts and the iuccessful operation of this type of drive in actual daily work. The ultimate aim of the four-wheel drive, six-wheel motor truck is to reduce the cost per ton mile' Obviously, to reduce mechanical maintenance of any truck operation will materially decrease the cost per ton mile. This problem has been'solved effectively by Fageol's latest development of this class of truck. It is outstanding for its simplicity of design."
Hundreds in Use Throughout the West
Mr. Bill said, "hundreds of four-wheel drive Fageol trucks are in daily operation on the Pacific Coast, many hauling better than tin tons at a speed that was never before thousht possible for a motor truck carrying such a large gross"loa-d." Mr. Bill goes on to say that "results have been astonishing."
"Many 6perators have been able to show such a -great increasi in ihe payload, with the resultant lowering of cost per ton mile, ihit they have operated profitably under "dnerse conditions." Life of Truck
One of the most important points of interest to the operator is the absence of vibration because of the lessened road shocks as accomplished by this particular design of rear axle being journalled itt the spring seats, -permitting the wheels to-roll, rather than to drop into chuck holes and bounce over bumPs.
Mr. Bill stated: "In a recent demonstration for one of our Northern State Highway Commissioners we were requested. to drive one of our six-wheel, four-wheel drive motor trucks over a bridge with a very rough road-bed'
of operation, the feeling of rolling over the highway,.with no e'ffort on the part of the motor, is one of the thrills of riding one of these big lO-tired jobs."
These Fageol trucks will haul a maximum of 34,000 pounds grosi," Bill stated, "at a fair rate of speed, there ^beine nJ vibration and, with the Westinghouse air-brakes, the irotor truck is in complete and absolute control of the
driver. The ten big 38x9.75 tires give a wide margin of safety under all operating conditions, and the two rear axles which have a carrying capacity of thirty-two thousands pounds alone, give you the wide margin of safety necessary for present day highway and city traffic conditions."

Over a coast to coast network of the National Broadcasting System, Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, on Tiresday evening, April 15, spoke of the lumber industry as one of the nation's fundamental activities and told of the important part it is destined to play in the country's future economic development.
An especially interesting feature of Mr Compton's talk was his discussion of the influence that advances in both physical and chemical research are already exerting upon the conversion of trees into articles of utility, not alone in creating a wider range of products, but in the direction of making possible improved lumber, proof against fire, decay and insect damage. He told also of the present attitude of timberland holders toward lumber as a crop and their abandonment of destructive cutting practices in favor of crop perpetuation and consequent reforestation and forest protection.
This talk was a part of a public salute by the Westinghouse Electric Company to the entire lumber industry. As a part of its radio advertising program this company selects each week a leading national industry to which it pays its compliments. The April 15 program consisted of orchestra music interspersed with comments on lumber, its importance, its history as an industry, the range of its products, present day manufacturing precision and standardization and such topics. Mr. Compton's broadcast, responding to the salute on behalf of the lumber industry follows:
The oldest manufacturing industry of America acknorvledges with appreciation the salute of the greatest of the prese4t generation of industrial giants. Lumber was a universal industry in the thirteen colonies when electricity was only a plaything for Franklin and a puzzle to Galvani.
A century ago there were 40,000 lumber mills in the United States. When the power giant of electricity was still unharnessed, the lumber industry worked with horses, cattle, water and even wind power. For seventy-five years b,efore electricity lvas more than light and novelty, the lumber industry was working on a large scale with what was then the new steam power, and one of the most conspicuous features of the American industrial scene was the tall smokestacks of the lumber mill which everywhere brought industry to the edge of the frontier.
The lumber industry is proud of its ancient origin and of its long service to mankind from Noah's ark to the wooden poles of modern power transmission lines. But it is not content to remain embalmed in history; it is more interested in the present and the future. Today, thanks to the wonders of electric power and its adaptability the 40,000 lumber mills of the middle o{ the last century are now but 15,000; and about 6O per cent of the huge output of lumber annually in the United States comes from the thousand mills which are most up-to-date in their use of
electric power. They use it for everything from an instrument to measure moisture content in wood, to the screaming saws which rip through six-foot logs, and to sixty-ton electric locomotives which haul two hundred thousand feet of logs at a single trip.
It takes an army of men, thirty thousand miles of log- ging railway, two thousand wholesale distributors and over twenty thousand retail dealers to provide and distribute to the American people the favorite building material from which more than eighty per cent of their homes are constructed, and to deliver to sixty or seventy groups of manufacturing industries the lumber which is thpir principal raw material. By train, by ship, by motor tiuck, by team and even airplane, lumber is forwarded from the great mills of North, West and South to the remotest hamlets of America and to the centers and frontiers of civilization throughout the world.
The lumber industry is not much in evidence in the cities, but when you look around you for the uses of wood and try to imagine what life would be if there were no wood for shelter or for industry you may well imagine the myriads of men who are toiling for you in the forests and the woodusing'industries of America.
Up to now the lumber industry has been mainly a physical industry, chiefly occupied in changing by sawing the form of a natural material-wood. We stand today on the edge of a far-reaching revolution in the industry. In this applied chemistry will play a great part. Lumber so chemically treated as to be proof against decay, fire, insect damage, shrinkage and expansion is today somewhat of a novelty. Within a decade it will be commonplace. In the future, too, the lumber industry will deal more and more with wood pulp and with cellulose, that mysterious substance of wood. More and more will i1 be used as a plastic material which may be shaped to any conceivable form and from which may be derived hundreds and perhaps thousands of useful commodities. Wood in its physical forms and its chemi,cal derivatives is cafable of being made the most universally useful of all the matgrials of industry.
The natural forests, which originally covered one-half of the land area of America, were the ready-made material of the lumber industry. New volunteer crops are now replacing the virgin forests North, East, South and West. Nearly half of our lumber comes today from forests which have yielded one or more previous crops of timber. And now many lumber companies are coming to handle their forest lands as tree-crop land,.and are encouraging and caring for the tree crops as the farmer does for the crops of his tilled fields. Nature freely gave us the old forests. Civilization and its industrial arts will demand and will supply the new forests.
Now, as at all times in more than three hundred years which have elapsed since the first sawmill in America was set up at Jamestown, Va., the men of the lumber industry are taking their part in the great parade of American in' dustry wfiich goei on and on to evei widening achievdment.

I want to build a home to endure. A house of generous size and low-fung roofs, caressed by the gentle shade of great trees, where Permanence and Strength shall be reflected. A ho'use where little voices may babble in the ecstacy of babyhood, and grow to the full blush of fouth, and, in the fullness of Time, come to maturity, and age, and grow old, and nod, and sleep. A house where my children's children shall be nourished.and fed and protected by these same walls that have sheltered and protected me.
I want to build these little lives which have rooted in the garden-soil of my soul so that they, too, shall endure. Build them so that they shall know the glory that Love is, the joy that Happiness is, the peace that Contentment is. I want to root them in the eternal truths, and nourish them with the true ideals of usefulness and service. I want to build them unafraid-gentle as the daisies nodding in the fields, sturdy as the rock-ribbed hills, strong as Love.
f want to build a garden where loveliness dwells. A garden where the lingering pictures in Memory's eye come into being, and all the dreams I have dreamed of Paradise nestle at my feet in my own dooryard. A garden where mine enemy dare not corne lest he, too, be charmed into forgiveqess. A garden where the divine laboratory of Eternity lies in my hand, and speaks in untold tones the delights, the mysteries, the wonders of the Hand behind it ail.
I want to build a home where Love will dwell. A home valued not by the dollars it cost, or the richness of materials or furnishings going into it, so much as by the happiness it has created. A home which has grown dear and near because of the stress and storm it has weathered, the tears it has dried, the smiles it has caused. A home where patience, and effort, and denial have brought their treasures of happiness and contentment and peace. A home where love comes like the fluttering dove ind perches and dwells-unwilling to search elsewhere.
I want to build a HOME.

"There is a decided reaction in favor of wood for bridge construction, for siding for houses, for sash, frames, and for furniture and interior finish, and there never was a better time than now to sell lumber", said Chester J. Hogue, Seattle, head of the trade extension and field service department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, in a talk on West Coast woods made at the Lumber Forum of the San Francisc.o Hoo Hoo Club held at the Elks Club, San Francisco, Friday evening, April 11.
"Lumber has been sold too much on price and not enough on its merits," he said, "and sellers of lumber need facts about the product they sell to enable them to sell on merit. A lumber salesman should know prices, stocks, grades and something about manufacturing. He should know the answer to such questions as when is lumber dry ? What is a moisture content ? What is fiber saturation point? What factors ,contribute to rot? What makes insulation value of wood? What is relative value of the various woods as- insulators? He should know the relation between strength and stiffness, the chemical 'composition of wood, the difference between spring and summer wood, whether a joist is stronger with the knot in it or with a knot hole and many other things.
"Above all lumber salesmen should spend no time knocking other species of 'wood, but should present a united front for wood and talk the merits of u'ood against those of other materials".
Mr. Hogue brought his talk to a close with a concise statement of some important facts about Douglas Fir, West Coast Hemlock, Western Red Cedar, Sitka Spruce and Port Orford Cedar, and after answering questions passed around a booklet entitled "Facts About West Coast 'Woods", published by his association.
Among those w'ho asked questions and contributed to the discussion were J. Walter Kelly, Chas. B. McCormick Lumber Co.; Fred W. Roth, of J. H. McCallum, Reuben W. Smith, California Redwood Association, and R. E. Caldwell. The Little River Redwood Co.
Fred Roth,.speaking as a retailer, said that it is up to the manufacturer of wood to make a much greater effort in the future to help the retailer to sell his products, than he has made in the past, and the manufacturer will have to spend the money necessary to create consumer demand as other industries have done.
President J. E. Peggs presided at the meeting and A. C. Horner, manager of the rvestern dvision of the National Lumber Manufacturers'Assn., was chairman of the evening.
H. S. Morton, Hill & Morton, Oakland, vicegerent snark of the Golden Gate district, and Paul Overend, vicegerent snark of Monterey distri,ct, were among those who attended. C.
Of the advantages rvhich will accrue to lumbermen as a result of the current Biennial and Decennial Census of Manufactures, the first and foremost probably will be the compilation of numerous preliminary reports, each of which will give figures for quantities and values of the several kinds of classes of products made rvithin the particular industry. These reports in the aggregate will cover thousands of kinds or classes of products; and each will be published within a short time after the receipt of complete returns for the industry which it represeints. These preliminary statistics will show the increase or decrease in output of each comrnodity, so that the individual lumberman can easily determine whether he is getting his share of the business-whether he is holding his own, or gaining, or losing, as compared with his industry in general.
In addition, the pireliminary reports will shorv the ratio between cost of materials and value of products, the output per wag'e earner, and the ratio of wages to value of output, thus enabling the manufacturer to compare his own ratios with those for the industry as a whole.
But if these preliminary reports are to be of maximum value, the manufacturers must co-operate with the Bureau of the Census by making their returns promptly and by taking care to answer correctly and completely all questions that apply to their operations. Ileretofore it has been the practice of the Bureau to correct and complete defective returns through correspondence before issuing the preliminary reports. This necessarily resulted in delay amounting to four or five months in some cases, and, therefore, in order to reduce the delay to a minimum, it is planned to compile the preliminary reports of this census from the returns as received, with little or no editing or verification of doubtful items, except in the cases of the earliest returns. The final reports, however, will not be prepared until the defective returns have been corrected and verified in the usual manner.
In the final reports will be presented detailed statistics showing, among other things, the cost of productive and non-productive labor, the number of hours of labor per week for individual wage earners; the migration of industries from State to State; the quantities and cost of principal materials and of fuel consumed; and the power-plant equipment.
In an effort to make the qdestionnaires easy for the manufacturers to fill out, the inquiry in regard to sales made during the year has been substituted in this census for the
former inquiry calling for data on production during the year. Correct statistics on production are preferable to statistics on sales, but the Bureau realizes that many manufacturers have actually been reporting their sales and not their production, and it was decided, therefore, to ask what can be undoubtedly obtained from all manufacturers, rather than for lvhat only a part of the manufacturers could and would report.
During this Census of Manufacturers, the Bureau plans to comoile countv and citv statistics which will be of somewhat greate. 'rr"lo" to local interests than those heretofore prrblished. Separate compilations for the sixteen great groups of industries or for combinations of these groups will be tabulatecl for each industrially important county and for groups of continguous counties. of less industrial importance. For cities having 100,000 inhabitants or more, the industries for which separate figures can not be shown without disclosing the data for individual establishments will be presented in a number of combinations instead of in a single group.
The preliminary county and city summaries giving combined figures for all industries taken as a single group will present the following items of information: Number of establishments; Number of wage earners; Wages paid; Cost of materials, fuel, and power; and Value of products.
fn response to a demand for manufactures statistics covering "industrial areas," the Bnreau also will attempt at this census to compile figures on such areas, each consisting of one or more counties of industrial importanc.e. For certain reasons arising from the necessity of presenting the statistics in such a manner as to avoid disclosing the data for individual establishments, the Bureau will not compile figures for individual industries for a city and also for the industrial area including that city. It is the intention, therefore, to tabulate statistics for individual industries for imoortant industrial areas but not for the included cities. tn the cases of less important cities having 100,000 inhabitants or more, statistics by industries will be published for the cities themselves but not for industrial areas including the cities.
Combined summary statistics covering all industries, however, will be published for both the industrial areas and the cities, so that it will be possible in all cases to determine the proportion which the amount of manufacturing in a given city constituted of the total for the industrial area of which it forms a Dart.
and Engineering Exposition, Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, March 17 to 23. The 28,000 feet of lumber used to ,constru,ct the derrick was cut to detail in several Los Angeles yards and cost figures derived to enable quoting on the completely cut derrick hereafter.
The L26-foot derrick was designed by engineers of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and conforms to the A. P. L specifications for wood oil derri,cks. The design was developed to meet the needs for heavy duty deep drilling requirements and allows for a safe load of 7_56,A010 pounds using a Common Stru,ctural grade of Douglas fir. It is constructed to withstand a 7o-mile wind and is in every respect a stronger type of derrick than steel or wood derricks now generally used in the field.
In discussing fabricated wood oil derricks, J. C. McCune, Southern California trade extension representative of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, states:
"Grade marked Douglas fir was also featured in the derrick displayed at the oil exposition as a means of assuring oil engineers that safe loads calculated on the basis of a certain grade may be safely applied when lumber grade marked to the grade specified is purchased.
"\Mith the combined efiorts of the lumber dealers interested in the oil business and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the merits of all wood oil derricks will be fullv presented to the oil industry. Accurate figures indicate that the fabricated wood-type can be erected for 50 per cent of the cost of steel stru,ctures. It has a far lower maintenance cost and with additional strength feature, it is both an economic and practical superior to the steel derrick. Fire hazard is minimized by the introduction of an all con'crete sub-floor and a sprinkler system. fn case of a well fire, the wood derri,ck affords fire fighters greater accessibility, as steel towers buckle and warp over the hole, becoming dangerous to approach because of the heated steel members."
L. P. Keith, field engineer; Jason C. McCune, on California trade extension, and A. A. Kayser, California grades supervisor of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association were in charge of the derrick exhibit.

Mr. McNevin was a native Californian and was born in San Francis'co, March 27, 1888. His father, Capt. Edwin McN'evin, was a native of lreland and a British naval officer. Capt.
