"Woody" Does It Up Brown

Last meeting of Los Angeiles Hoo Hoo Club finest in history. Woodhead Lumber Company turns out and does the honms.

The entire Woodhead Lumber Company organization acted as chairman of the day at the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club luncheon on Thursday, May 8. Mr. David Woodhead, president of the company, acted as the spokesman'of the bunch, and he surely is deserving of much praise for the excellent meeting that resulted.

The big hit of the day, was the surprise appearance of twenty beautiful ladies, most of them of the office force of the Woodhead Lumber Company, and then as an extra surprise, even to Dave himself, there appeared the lvives of several of the principals of the company.

The ladies were seated in alternate chairs, as far as they went, among the members, and it cost each of the boys who were thus honored, just twenty-five cents per lady. And they seemed glad to pay. Fortunate seats were bei'ng held at a premium, offers as high as four dollars were heard.

The ladies lvere appropriately decked out in black and yellow ribbons, the Hoo Hoo colors, and they were plentifully supplied with paper cats on their gowns, in addition to a large amount of jewelry, (see the announcement). Pearls, diamonds, necklaces of rare g'ems, supposedly all from Woolworths, added to the beauty and attractivehess of the fair ones.

The following named ladies were called upon to introduce themselves, after they had given a splendid rendition of a new Hoo Hoo song that had been rvritten for this occasion.

Mrs. David Woodhead, Mrs. L. J. Weaver, Mrs. F. M. Connelly, Mrs. H. L. Rosenberg, Mrs. C. J. Laushlin, Mrs. McCrone, Mrs. H. Brown, Mrs. Beribe, Misses Moline, Smith, Roehl, Griffin. Lincoln, Hemmerly, Roper, Hovey, Case and Rexford.

Miss Lincoln and Mrs. Berebe delighted the meeting with a splendid duet, on the Piano.

Then the orchestra was introduced. This was a fine musical aggregation of colored players, led by C. H' Wfrite, who, is employed at one of the Woodhead yards. The-v played several numbers, and one of them gave a couple of songs and a dance.

One of the Woodhead bunch was held up to considerable criticism by the boys, he escaped a fine horvever. in the rush of the cvents. L. J. Weaver is the secretarv of the company, and was one of those that were surprised by the appCarance of their rvives. This gentleman, instead of miking a rush to the head of the table to eat rvith hi;

Then he was very much in evidence, in the front row. He probably heard of the matter that night.

Miss Roper's dancing made a big hit. This beautiful young lady, just seventeen, has been studying classical dancing for a number of years, and her performance was very very nne.

About one hnndred and ten were seated at the table, making this the largest meeting that has ever been held by the Los Angeles Club. Dave rvas given a mighty "Nine" at the close of the meeting, and the Snark informed the members that this meeting would set a mark for the rest of tl.rem to shoot at.

Conservation Aided By Latest Sawing Process

An improved method for sawing tapered logs with a saving of at least lO/o in quantity and from ?n b q% in grade, is claimed by Alex. M. Page, timber expert of Portland, Oregon rvho was a recent visitor in San Francisco. Mr. Page states that this method which is already in use at the Hammond Lumber Co. mill at Samoa, and the Union Lumber Co. mills at Fort Bragg, is particularly adapted to the sawing of Redwood on account of the extra taper of the logs.

Mr. Page says that his method has been proved practical and is already in use'in over 400 mills in the Unitea States and Canada, including the Southern Pine, Douglas Fir, and Redwood mills. Ife states that no additional equip- ment is required in using this method, it being a matter of instruction to the sawyers in the practice of leducing the logs to lumber.

Besid,es the advantage in regards to the lumbermen's profits, he pointed out that this method of sawing was a big step in the matter of conservation of the nation's forests. He says that his improved method has the unqualified endorsement of many experts in that it eliminates a large amount of the waste in sawing logs.

Mr. Page is an experienced lumberman and has filled nearly every position in connection with the lumber busin,ess while associated with the lumber business in the South and Northwest. He comes from a familv of lumbermen, his father and grandfather having been among the first to operate steam saw-mills in North Carolina. He is also a cousin of the late Walter Hin,es Page, who was ambassador to Great Britian.

FAMOUS FOREST F'IRES IN THE UNITED STATES

The United States has been the scehe of manv forest fires during the past 55 years, says the Forest -Service, United States Department of Agriculture.

Some of the more famous forest fires were:

The Peshtigo, Wis., fire in 1871 which killed 1,500 persons and burned 1.500.000 acres of timber.

The Michigan fire of 1881 which burned 2,000,000 acres and cost an unknown number of lives.

The Phillips, Wis., fire in 1894 which killed more than 300 people.

The Hinckley, Minn., fire which cost more lives, burned millions of acres, and laid waste than 400 about a dozen towns.

The Minnesota, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington fires in 1910 which swept many milliohs of acres of forest land and cost an unknown number of lives. The smoke from these fires was sighted as far as 300 miles out in the Pacific Ocean.

The terrible Cloquet, Minn., fire of 1918 which cost 400 lives and burned property and timber valued at $30,000,000.

In 1919 and 1972 many disastrous fires occurred in all parts of the country, more than 50.000 fires having been reported during the summer of 1922. Many lives were lost in addition to the destruction of many millions of dollars worth of timber and property.

The United States Forest Service is authority for the statement that about 80 per cent of all forest fires in, the United States are caused by human carelessness and arc' therefore preventable by the exercise of reasonable care.
