And then there was the girl who talked so much, and, when questioned why, claimed her mother was frightened by a Winchell broadcast.

I have no quarrel with any man for differing with me in politics or religion, any more than I have for preferring blondes while I like brunettes. And in any contest of any fair sort, it is good, healthy, human nature for men to take sides. The fence rider is the sad bird.

Have you ever noticed ;i i"" a man is out of ptumb --out of line-leans either to the right or to the left-he produces in himself an astigmatism which makes him believe that every perpendicular person is leaning, and that he, himself, is perpendicular?

I've heard so much in the last few years about the wickedness of the rich of this nation, our selfish capitalists and hard-hearted employers, that I sometimes stop and wonder how they happened to build all the multitude of hospitals, churches, schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, recreation grounds, art galleries, charitable and educational foundations, and the various other activities for helping the human race with which this country is so well supplied? And I cannot help wondering who is going to furnish these sort of things for the corning generation?

Eastern newspaper men asked William C. Clayton, the cotton king, to tell them something about cotton. 'Just this," he replied. "It will cost more to get our foreign cotton markets back, than it did to lose thern." Nix, Mr. Clayton. We ain't got that much money left.

"You speak often of coffee," writes a friend of mine. "Remernber, it must conform to the classic formula. It must be strong as jealousy; hot as Hell; black as night."

My chief demand is that it must be fresh. Not fresh from the roasting ovens; fresh from the pot-fresh made. Warmed-over coffee, no matter how good when newlymade, is punk. Use the proper amount of coffee, the proper amount of water, use an exact formula for cooking it, and then drink it fresh. And it won't keep you awake nights. But there is trouble in stale coffee. ***

There are many pictures on the walls of the office where I sit tickling this typewriter, photos of friends in the lumber arrd building business. A few minutes ago a visitor, looking them over, asked me how many of those men still live. I had never thought about counting them before. So I made ttre count right then, and the figures jarred me, showed me what an old fogy I must be getting to be. For there are 55 pictures on these walls, and of that number of men, 25 are dead. That old law of average works inexorably, doesn't it?

*rf*

What memories there are on those walls ! While I have read some history, and have acquainted myself in the fashion of books with the great men of the past, instinctively I feel that among those men whose faces adorn my office walls, are some of the world's truly great. They are great to me in my garden of memories, and their shadows grow gigantic in my rememberings. And as I sit and gaze from one of their faces to the next, there comes to my mind those heart-tearing words of Justinian's father:

"And shall we never meet, and know each other Again, as we have known each other here?"

rk :t ,1.

Reminds me of the verse that Grantland Rice wrote: What if the sunset's drawing nearer?

What if the shadows gather in, Thick with ghosts of the mates who've headed, Into space, where the comet's sPin?

Eyes to the front, though the mists are heavy' Life, at best is a brief parade, Keqr one dream in your hearts, my brothers, Nothing shatters the unafraid. ,ttl*

tbat's what builds greaterl NU-\rooD sales for Lumber Dealers

Style as exclusive and distinctive as in a latest Paris model-that's what sells Nu-Wood! Every Nu-Wood job is different from every other Nu-S/ood job-different from every other interior finish j ob. Every one bas special appeal Thar's what makes people ask for NU-VOOD by name, and insist on getting it!

clusive products which Nu-Vood makes available such as Sta-Lite, Nu-Wood Wainscot and Kolor-Trim Molding.

Nu-\flood style isn't an accident. ft was carefully planned to provide greater sales appeal. and to build greater profrts for lumber dealers. So careful has that planning been that Nu-rJ/ood, the original interior finish ofits kind, has retained its leadership year aftet yeat and today is mounting to even greater sales heights.

Each Nu-Wood "model" is exclusive-designed to fit the wishes of the individual, and the needs of the home, church, restaurant, theatre or other building in which it is applied. The only material thar can duplicate Nu-Wood is Nu-Wood. All the other imitations can't satisfy a Nu-Wood prospect who is "sold" on Nu-Vood's unique texture, soft variety of charming colors . and on the new, exBalsam-Wool and Nu-lYood are tsed in Hoase No.1 oJ tbe Toun of Tomorrora at tbe Neu York lVorld's Fair, and Nu-Wood is used in tbe lYestenz Pine Association Exbibits at botb Neu YorA and San Francisco Fairs.

Wagner Act at this session of Congless. The Administration stands squarely in the way. Nor of the wage and hour act. That was coming up for amendments, but the word got out that if it ever got to the floor there would be some major operations so they "drug it back" as the old song says. It is significant that no state has passed a wage and hour law, although it has been tried in most legislatures ttrroughout. the country. There will be no "appeasement of business" steps taken at this session, either. The same old hostility meets every efrort to actually help business and capital. The fact that business and capital wants a thing, condemns it utterly. Neither will there be any material tax relief measures enacted. And, since these are the things that hold business by the throat and keep capital "sulking in his tent," it naturally follows that there will be no material improvement in the general situation. You can look for signs of another great spending campaign. Lacking normal improvements that include new and enlarged business enterprises everywhere to take up the unemployment slack, pump-priming will continue to be the order of tfie day. Otherwise there will be another sharp slump like that of late'37. And next Jrear, you will remember, is election year. The medal for the best quip of the month goes to a middle western congressman. They were discussing the farm administration program, and he said: "Things certainly have changed in this country. We used to pray for rain. Now we pray for drouth." ***

Here is a true story about a lumberman, the like of which you may never hear again, and the truth of which I will vouch for. Henry E. Hardtner, of lfrania, Louisiana,

COUNCIL OFFICES MOVED

ie called "The Father of Forestry" in the South. Forty yoars ago he began telling the Southern timber owners tha-t it was poesible to grow Yellow Pine sawlogs as fast as they could cut them, and as cheap as they could buy them. No one believed him. Today they all know that what he preached was true. Had they believed him then' the South would hold more merchantable timber todiy than it did forty years ago. For Henry Hardtner was the only human being I ever met who was in truth a prophet-a man with a vision ! He had a complex that filled his consciousness to overfowing, and he stuck to his guns until the truth of his preachings were acknowtedged by everyone concerned. But that isn't the amazing story I want to tell. It is THIS: ***

Henry Hardtner had a habit of writing important les ters in long hand, and then handing them to his secretary to be typed. One day he wrote a long letter in that fashion. tlis secretary had gone home when he finished, and he left the letter to be typed the next day. That night the car in which he was driving was struck by a train, and flenry Hardtner was killed. The next day his long-hand letter was typed-it was a posthumous message then, which makes it so interesting-and it concerned his efforts to re-grow Yellow Pine, and to spread the message to others.. He told the Bible story of the Ten Talents in the letter, of the Master who gave the Talents to his servants, and required of them a report on their stewardships. And Henry Hardtner wrote: "I can say today, Master, the land which You gave to me more than forty years ago has more timber on it today than it had when You gave it to me." When the letter first came to the eyes of his secretary, and of his family, Henry Hardtner had already gone to make his report, in person.

the exclusive cutting of Pine. And it IS one of the most remarkable, one of the most tremendous sawmill plants on earth, measured from a standpoint of variety, quantity, and quality of rproducts. At many very large sawmills, when the lumber leaves the sawmill proper, the story is about told. But at Westwood it has hardly started. The important parts of the operation are from the sawmill out. Yes, friends, at \Mestwood the Walkers operate an industrial institution which for originality, progressiveness, and mammoth size, could easily furnish a story that would filI this book from cover to cover, and still leave much untold.

For at Westwood, just as a few samples, can be found:

The greatest Pine forest behind any single mill.

One of the biggest Pine sawmills on earth.

One of the biggest planing mills on earth.

The mightiest set of lumber dry kilns ever constructed.

The biggest Pine panel plant.

The biggest Incense Cedar blind factory.

The biggest storage of Pine logs ever accumulated.

And everything else in proportion. As the old Mexican in Tia ]uana told Peter B. Kyne when the half-pound Mexican pooch he had sold him grew to weigh fifty pounds -"Everything grow so beeg in California." Everything really grows big at Westwood. Even Paul Bunyan, the legendary hero of giant prowess who has been kept alive through the literature of The Red River Lumber Company, would have pointed with pride to the size of the Westwood plant. Just a sketch of that plant must suffrce for this time.

For many years the Westwood plant kiln dried part of their product, and air-dried the remainder. As their factory output increased, and the demands of the trade changed, the necessity'for more perfectly and more rapidly dried lumber developed by leaps and bounds. So just a couple of years ago they made a deal with the Moore Dry Kiln Company, the result of which was that that concern built and installed and equipped at Westwood a battery of dry kilns as big as Paul Bunyan himself. Thirty-five kilns they built, each with two tunnels, a total of seventy dry kilning units, all of the latest cross-circulation type, in which the lumber is piled solid on the kiln cars. These kilns hold about 3,500,00O feet of lumber at one time, and turn out 600,000 feet daily of the grandest looking lumber that ever came from Westwood, including Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, and fncense Cedar.

Naturally they then had to create more shed room, because this set of kilns handled the entire output of the mill, and they could no longer pile it on the yard. So they have just completed another mammoth dry shed to supplement two monsters they had before. The new shed is 8O by 50O feet, and is served by a great traveling crane that handles all the lumber both in and out of the new shed. Only rough dry lumber is stored in this department.

In the sawmill itself there are four band head-rigs, and two horizontal re-saws, and an average cut of lumber is 300,000 feet every eight hours. As the lumber leaves the sawmill on the green chain, it is removed by hand, sorted for grade and thickness, and piled in units of about 3,000 feet. A traveling 95-foot Hammerhead Crane picks up these units and deposits them on conveyors for the automatic stackers, and these stackers build up loads of 7,000 to 8,0O0 feet on kiln cars. When the kiln cars are loaded an electric transfer moves them to the kilns. When they emerge from the kilns with their burden of dry lumber, they stand for 24 hours under a cooling shed, before being unloaded on an 800-foot transfer chain by means of automatic down-sorters. From these chains the lumber is taken off by hand after being graded, and is segregated as to grade and size.

Now the lumber is dried and properly separated and graded, and it here begins its trip to market. Some of it goes to the rough dry sheds for storage. Some of it goes direct to the loading docks to be shipped rough to many millwork factories throughout the land. Some of it goes to the planer, to be dressed and pre,pared for ordinary lumber and building uses. Two hundred thousand feet a day goes to the factory or remanufacturing plant, where

it is made into a thousand different things for various trades. Some of it goes to the box factory. Some goes into door and sash stock. The planing mill is big enough to handle any amount of lumber the mill sends in. There just isn't anything that can be made out of Sugar Pine and Ponderosa Pine that they are not prepared to make and ship at Westwood. They do a huge national moulding business, specializing in straight or mixed cars of Ponderosa Pine mouldings, and carrying great stocks of same. The venetian blind department is one of the newest and fastest growing. Here they make Incense Cedar Trom their own mountain forests, into venetian blinds, which requires the highest art and perfection in seasoning and mill-r'r'orking. This department is growing very rapidly, and they have booked many very large orders in the past year. Their sash and door departments, their box departments, and others, are all mammoth in size, in keeping with the rest of the plant. They ship 6 to B carloads of venetian blinds a month.

One of their most successful departments through the years is their Pine panel department. The finest selected Ponderosa logs are turned into beautiful figured Pine veneer, which is then built into panels of alt sorts and sizes. They have always enjoyed a very steady and satisfactory demand that takes care of their entire panel product, this being really the only large Pine panel plant in existence.

The Westwood mill supplies the retail lumber trade with almost everything that can be made out of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine. Their forest produces a fine volume of Sugar Pine along with their Ponderosa, this being a "true" White Pine, and the monarch of all American

Hi-Jinks at Hawaiian Paradise Cafe )une 16

The Lumbermen's Hi-Jinks will be held Friday evening, June 16, at the Hawaiian Paradise Cate,7566 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, instead of Omar's Dome Cafe as previously announced.

The committee announces a fine entertainment rvhich will include the regular Hawaiian Paradise orchestra and floor show together with several specially arranged girl numbers. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p. m.

The Hi-Jinks is sponsored by Lumbermen's Post No. 4O3 of the American Legion, and the committee in charge includes Chairman Milt Taenzer, Leo Hubbard. Fred Morehouse, Russell Gheen, Ed Biggs and Bill Chantland.

White Pines today, being very much larger than the Northern White Pine and therefore capable of producing clear, soft lumber in sizes unknown to other regions. Red River Sugar Pine products are well known to both the lumber and factory buyers all over the country.

What an amazing institution this Westwood plant is ! A mighty forest of the finest trees that grow. A milling institution that contains everything in the line of equipment that human ingenuity could devise or suggest for producing better wood products. An organization that has come down through the years, trained in the making of Westwood Pine into Westwood lumber. Is it any wonder that the name and fame of Paul Bunyan Pine grows steadily ?

We mentioned the great log reserve. They have hard winters in the mountains around Westwood. that forbid logging. But the Westwood mill runs continuously the year around, so in the fall they log and bring to Westwood and pile up in huge rollways, forty to sixty million feet of wonderful big logs to supply the plant through the closed months. And these mountains of logs, at that time of the year, present a most imposing spectacle.

The Westwood owners are entirely Walkers. Archie D. Walker is president, Willis J. Walker is chairman of the Board, Fletcher L. Walker is vice-president and treasurer, Clinton L. Walker is vice-president, T. S. Walker is vice-president and manager of lumber department, K. R. Walker is secretary, Justin V. Smith (a grandson of the late T. B. \A/alker, founder of the company) is assistant secretary.

R. F. Pray is assistant manag'er. Leo G. Opsahl is sales manager.

AUSTRALIAN APPETITE

The Frenchman likes his glass of wine, The German likes his lager beer, The Briton likes his glass of Ale, Because it brings good cheer.

The Scotchman likes his whiskey, neat, The Paddy likes his Pot, But the Aussie has no national drink, So he drinks the whole damn lot.

A CODE !\IIRE

The Scotchman had a very urgent telegram to send, but couldn't bring himself to telling all that had to be told in plain words. So he worked on a code, and this is what he finally wired, just ten words:

t'Bruises hurt erased afford erected analysis hurt too infectious dead."

The Scotchman on the other end of the line got the wire, and he soon worhed it out to read as follows:

"Bruce is hurt. He raced a F'ord. He wrecked it and Alice is hurt, too. fn fact she's dead" (19 words).

TO WIN SUCCESS:

Be Brief-politely.

Be aggressive-tactfully.

Be emphatic-gleasantly.

Be positive---diplomatically.

Be right-graciously.

We plan a hundred lives, And live but one.

How shall our course be mapped When night has come?

My ship has journeyed on, Through stiffest breeze, Some day I hope to sail, In calmer seas.

THE DIFFERENCE

The 3-year-old boy had taken his mother's powder puff and was fixing his face as he had seen her do, when his S-year-old sister grabbed it from him.

"You mustn't do that," she said. "Only ladies use powder. Gentlemen wash themselves."

IT PAYS

Ask yourself this question: "Am I courteous and friendly in all my business contacts?" If you can answer yes without any qualifications, then you have a characteristic that will make your life richer, hot only in friends and happiness, but also in money.

Of course, almost everyone is smart enough to be nice to customers and business associates on whom he depends for a living. But how do you treat others? For instance, the salesman who called on you when you were busy-the man who ,wanted some free ftrformation that required a little effort to dig up-the young fellow who applied for a job when you had nothing to offer him. Did they leave feeling that you were a fine fellow, that they would put in a good word for you and your company if the occasion arose?

In this day of intense competition, with differences between products and prices frequently small, it is often the little things that bring in the business. All things being equal, the order usually goes to the man people like to do business with; the man who is courteous and friendly at all times.-Bruce.

TRUST

ttl'd trust my husband anywhere," she said; "My faith in him is full, is satisfied;

I know that all his thoughts are fair," she said, "I know he'd put temptations all aside."

t'I know that he is strong, sublime," she said; "f know that all his love is mine for e'er; I'd trust my husband anywhere," she said"Ifnless a woman happened to be there."

EVEN SO

He who knows and understands his customers, will have trade.

He who knows and understands his competitors, will have safety.

He who knows and und,erstands his business. will have riches, but-

He who knows and understands his workmen, will have peace.

"Say, You" yelled the Park Officer. "Come out of that pool ! People have to drink that water."

"Shucks, Officer," said the wader. "It's all right. I ain't using no soap.t'

National Retailers Hold Annual Meeting

The 22nd annual meeting of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association which was,held in Washington, D. C., adjourned on May 10 following fouf days of group and general discussion on a note of confidence over the future outlook of the industry and with a determination to press forward with the National Small Homes program and once again demonstrate that the way to build low-cost, quality housing is to get out and do the job.

Roger S. Finkbine, president of the Wisconsin Lumber Company, Des Moines, Iowa, was elected president, succeeding Don A. Campbell. Other officers elected were: Carl Blackstock, Blackstock. Lumber Company, Seattle, Wash., vice-president; George LaPointe, Jt., O & N Lumber Company, Menomonie, Wis., treasurer, and Frank Carnahan, Washington, D. C., secretary.

W. C. Bell of the Western lIomes Foundation, Seattle, Wash., outlined the work of that group to stimulate home construction in the Pacific Northwest.

Among the resolutions adopted were: (1) Condemning the adverse publicity appearing in the public press and radio broadcasts which adversely afiects the building industry. This criticism is declared to be wholly unwarranted by the facts as assembled and made available by the statistical departments of the government and duly publicized by the Public Relations Division of the national association; (2) Commending the work of the Merchandising Institute, stressing its value to the industry, also praising the work of the officers

and directors of the Merchandising Council, and particularly Paul Collier and Hawley W. Wilbur; (3) Expressing appreciation of the generosity and cooperation of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in the campaign to promote low cost construction through the National Small Homes Demonstration conducted by the two groups as a joint enterprise; (4) To Secretary Frank Carnahan and the Legislative Committee for their skillful and untiring work for getting the House of Representatives and the Senate amendments to the Federal Housing Act extending Title I and Title II for another two-year period; (5) Expressing the industry's appreciation of the splendid work of the retiring president, Don A. Campbell, who is credited with having "crowned his regime" in directing the policies of the association with the development of several new departments of enterprise and service to the industry.

Ih reporting on FHA legislation, Secretary Carnahan was most enthusiastic about prospects of greatly increased activity under Title I. He felt that the association had sold the FHA on the necessity of being more liberal towards financing of small homes under Title I, Class III of the new legislation.

H. W. Wilbur, president of the Merchandising Institute, reported to the board of directors that on the basis of the ten months the Institute has been in existence it has been very successful and is fulfilling the hopes of all concerned as a means of helping do a better selling job.

PAMUDO PIYWOOD

The Underwood Lumber Company, Lakeview, Oregon, recently completed the installation of a Moore Reversible Cross-Circulation Kiln.

This new kiln is constructed entirely of wood and is 27 f.eet wide by 84 feet long. The fan system consists of eleven Moore 6" diameter special disc fans mounted on a longitudinal shaft overhead above the loads of lumber. These fans are powered by a single motor and produce a uniform and rapid air circulation which assures quality drying of Ponderosa pine lumber. The drying conditions of temperature and humidity are automatically controlled throughout the kiln, which is heated with exhaust steam pressure of four to five pounds from their factory engine. When exhaust steam is not available, reduced boiler pressure steam is employed in the kiln.

Underwood Installs

Moore Kifn at Lakeview

The interior walls and ceiling of the new kiln building were coated with Non-Fibrous Walltite, a special kiln coating developed and manufactured by the paint department of the Moore Dry Kiln Company especially for kiln work. This paint was economically applied with a spray gun. The dry kiln doors were also coated on both sides with Doortite, another Moore-Kiln rpaint product.

J. C. Clark is manager of the Underwood Lumber Company, which has a yearly capacity of 35 million feet, and C. A. Thomas is superi,ntendent.

The Underwood Lumber Company is affiliated with the American Box Company of San Francisco, of which Walter S. Johnson is president and D. E. McDuffee is salesmanager.

How to build with as well as for protection-that's the story behind our exhibit in the Homes and Gardens building at the Golden Gate ExPosition.

To tell the story, we built a hoase-3f x 5 feet "latge," completely furnished, decorated, and protected against every sort of deterioration and discomfort.

Pabco House is modern without being modernistic' It is not startling or unusual in any way-it is simply our example of the way we think an average-cost Western home should be built f'or the greatest comfort, style, and durability.

In design, construction, and furnishings, of course, Pabco House is abreast with "modern trends." The rooms, for instance have been grouped for the greatest convenience and elasticity. Extending across one entire end of the first floor we have a large 361 x 27 inches-actual size, 18x24 feet-living room equipped with fireplace and bookshelves which can be any, or all, of three rooms, the dining room, the living room, the library. An 18 x 21 inches ofiset gives the illusion of separation between the dining room and living room; actually, however, it is a single afea.

Building Materials Deportment

The Paraffine Companies, lnc.

We have a streamlined kitchen, and a "planned" laundry' The second-floor bedrooms separated with bath open out upon a large sun-deck, an indispensable part of any modern Western home.

The floor-plan of the home is designed to give convenience whether for country or city family. All actual living rooms-bedrooms, kitchen, laundry, and living-room, face the rear of the house and are intended to be filled in with glass. (In the model, these are left open for inspection') On either a western or southern location, it is this part of the home which would catch the greatest amouht of sunJight.

It is in its construction, however, that Pabco llouse has its greatest distinction. Every building feature in the tiny model has been made as durable and strong as we knew how to make it. The timber foundations of the home, for instance, are protected against vermin, termites, and dry rot with Pabco Termite Preventive, the liquid protective coating. The masonry is protected against moisture absorption with Liquid Hydroseal.

We have used Keyhold Lath to guard against plaster cracks and to insulate the walls' rThe outer walls are

covered with sheathing to save on labor costs and to give extra strength to its construction.

Pabco House is protected against the transfer of heat and cold, wiqd and rain with Red Liner building paper, Pabco Roek Wool, and the new Coolite back prime. Insulite Acoustilite gives protection against exterior sounds and noises.

The roof is protected against buckling and peeling with the cold application Pabcoweld roof method with Coolite aluminum finish. Coolite also insulates against heat and cold. In extreme hot weather it reduces temperatures in the house from 10 to 4 degrees.

We have used Pabco Multi-Service paints and Cin-Dek enamels to protect surfaces against weathering and stains. This is an important consideration for the woman who intends to do her own housework since these paints can be washed easily and quickly with a damp cloth.

Inside the house beauty, sanitation and ease of maintenance are promoted by the use of linoleum on all floors. Linoleum protects the investment by its long wearing qualities. Year after year, it keeps its brightness with the minimum of time and effort srpent on keeping that attractiveness.

For the same reasons, blocked Mastipave is used as floor covering for the spacious sun deck that extends the full width of the house on the second floor.

Whenever possible, the same sort of lumber and building materials which would be used on a normal-size building have been used on the Pabco model. When the small size of the miniature made this impossible, these materials have been represented as nearly like the original as possible.

Adapting these materials to the construction of a 3l x 5 foot model, finding electric light bulbs small enough to fit the indirect lighting fixtures in the tiny house, making furniture in perfect scale down to the last bit o,f stitching and upholstering, were only a few of our pre-exposition problems. The problems, however, were well worth our time and efforts for Pabco Booth, since the opening of the Fair, has been one of the busiest spots on Treasure Island. The miniature is attractive enough to draw large crowds of visitors and the step by step demonstration of its construction is dramatic rproof of the development of Western building in the direction of sound construction and the skilful use of building materials.

New P. O. Cedar Grading Rules lssued

The Port Orford Cedar Lumber Association has just released revised grading rules covering the production of its boards, dimension, timbers and irrigation grade lumber. These have been in preparation for some time and are the result of close study by the Port Orford Cedar mills and consultation with users of their products.

Those who want to obtain the new grading rules may get them at the office of Edgar A. Brown, special representative of the Port O'rford Cedar Association, 420 Market Street, San Francisco. Mr. Brown is pleased at all times to give any required information and prompt service to all lumber users who may be interested in Port Orford Cedar.

Does Wide Variety of Wood Working Jobs

The Red Star Products, Inc., of. I?9IO Taft Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, have been making rapid advancement in the field of overhead saws. From one model in two sizes a few years ago they have now increased the line to three models with eleven sizes from tTrHP to 7l HP. The neu' line of Multiplex saws combines all the exclusive features that make a saw practical and economical at a price never possible before. They make the claim that the motor track pivoting directly over the moveable table gives many definite advantages in setups and adjustments and that the Mul-

tiplex is the only machine in its class that cuts any desired angle, either to the right or left as well as any angle from the vertical. Special locking mechanism and indexing dials provide positive locking at any degree. Difficult jack rafter cuts are made with ease on a Multiplex.

All models have a full four inch cutting capacity and the new ball bearing tracks on the heavy motor machines and the felt lined gibs on the smaller motored machines with slide tracks insure continuous and easy operation. The Multiplex saw has been built with the idea of securing per-

manent accuracy and alignment and it has been the aim of the Multiplex people to put out a fully equipped machine that will fill the requirements of the most exacting mill or yard. The square frame Master motors insure extra power and long life.

Y. Z, Haven, at 101 1 Harrison Street, Oakland, California, is Western Sales Manager. He has had fifteen years' experience in the saw field and is very enthusiastic about the future of Multiplex saws.

Sales of the well known Hollywood combination screen and metal sash door are increasing steadily all over the country, according to Francis G. Hanson, head of the West Coast Screen Company, 1143 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles, manufacturers of this widely used door.

Mr. 'Hanson is naturally an enthusiastic booster for the growth and development of Los Angeles and Southern California, and being of a highly inventive turn of mind himself is appreciative of the many new ideas in the building line that have originated in that part of the country.

In the course of a conversation on this subject recently Mr. Hanson said he was much gratified to read the following statement in an article in the April 8 issue of the American Lumberman:

"Los Angeles more surely sets the styles for American homes than Paris does for women's clothes. It is probably twenty years ahead of the rest of the world in the manufacture of building specialties such as the West Coast Screen Company's novelty doors."

A Sensational New Product That Sells on Siqht

Special Types of Portland Cement Developed for Specific Uses

Portland Cement has been manufactured for many years and while many of us are familiar with the fact that when Portland Cement is mentioned reference is being made to a building or construction cement, few realize Portland Cement is a strictly artificial product.

There are deposits of natural cement rock in various parts of the world where lime rock may be taken from the earth and burned in a kiln without any definite preparation or mixing, and the results will be a natural cement which may be widely used. However, it is not uniform in quality and could hardly be relied upon to produce concretes for the important and complicated structures of modern civilization.

A strictly artificial Portland Cement was first produced many years ago in England and as a matter of passing interest it might be noted that the designation "Portland Cement" was made because of the similarity in color of the resulting' concrete to the great cliffs near Portland, England.

Portland Cement manufacture in the United States has advanced in method, machinery and control until at the present time it is produced under two main general specifications; those of the Federal Government and the American Society for Testing Materials. During recent years, however, modern progress in constructio,n has made it vitally necessary to develop special types of Portland Cement for srpecific uses. Witness the so-called low heat type of cement manufactured for use in the construction of the lfoover Dam and other similar structures throughout the West.

In general terms the phrase "low heat" has reference to the heat of hydration developed during the curing of concrete and where a great mass is encountered and ordinary Portland Cement is used this heat of hydration is so great and so concentrated that severe expansion and contraction strains are created resulting in volume changes in the interior and exterior of the mass concrete. However, by certain rearrangements in the chemical compositio,n during the manufacturing process a "Low Heat" type cement is produced and consequently the heat of hydration in the mass concrete is held to a mi.nimum curve.

During the last few years a definite need arose for high early strength concrete; that is, concrete in which 28 day stre'ngths could be secured within 24 to 48 hours. This need resulted in high early strength cements. Not all of these cements are strictly Portland Cements, but it is desirable to retain the many advantages of a Portland Cement in a high early strength cement if possible. Thus the Southwestern Portland Cement Company's plant at Victorville, California, developed Victor High Early Strength Portland Cement, which is manufactured under Federal Specifications and American Society for Testing Materials Specifi cations.

In speaking of this product, an official of the company says: "fn addition to high early strength features Victor High Early Strength Portland Cement possesses qualities not always found in comrpetitive products. A surprisingly

National Retailers Hold Annual Mceting

(Continued trom Page 22)

Jesse E. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, got a splendid welcome when introduced by H. D. Sternenberg of Austin, Texas. "f never graduated from the lumber business. I am still in it," he said.

Mr. Jones said he thought he ought to talk a little bit about government in business. While nobody in business likes government in business, he said, during the past six or seven years government in business on the whole has done a pretty good job. Government credit in business. he added, has amounted to about $20,000,000,000, with the FHC portion of the total a little more than one-half. He mentioned the several other lending and underwriting agencies participating and predicted that in summing up their activities there will not be enough loss to affect the taxes of his hearers.

At the conclusion of Mr. Jones' remarks, PresiCent Finkbine turned the chair over to Mr. LaPointe, chairman of the Special Public Relations Committee.

"fs our objective right, and how are we to go ahead from here ?" he asked, and called upon Wilson Compton. secretarymanager, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, for an answer. Dr. Compton in turn presented I. N. Tate, vice-president of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. Mr. Tate on behalf of the manufacturers expressed delight at the growing cooperation and coordination between manufacturers and retailers.

He urged all hands to get behind the National Small lfomes Demonstration. This, he pointed out, is a joint undertaking. Newspaper stories such as he has recently seen printed in many sections pf the country are "terribly important," Mr. Tate said, adding he clearly identified them as being of national origin.

Among the exhibits in the ballroom of the Raleigh Hotel, where the meeting was held, was a large display of clippings from numerous newspapers in all parts of the country.

Special Types of Pordand Cement

(Continued from Page 29)

low tri-calcium aluminate content is assurance of sulphate resisting qualities; the low degree of expansion and contraction under the severe auto-clave test results in a concrete with these same valuable properties which are not always present in concretes of high early strengths. Compound composition, extreme care in all phases of manufacture, and a high specific surface impart to Victor High Early Strength Portland Cement the necessary qualities for a product of this type. Its use is no more difficult than that of standard Portland Cement, and a properly designed mix, sufficient mixing time with the correct amount of water, together with adequate curing, will produce a high strength durable concrete in 24 and 48 hours."

For the interest of our readers and in conclusion, it might be well to quote a definition for Portland Cement:

"Portland Cement is the product obtained by finely pulverizing clinker produced by calcining (burning) to incirpient fusion, an intimate and properly proportioned mixture of argillaceous (silica) and calcareous (lime) materials, with no additions subsequent to calcination (burning) excepting water and calcined or uncalci,ned gypsum."

Other speakers were Steve Hannagan, New York publicity man; J. S. Bryant, representing the asphalt shingle and roofing industry; I-es Cassidy, representing Johns-Manville; Henry W. Collins, Celotex Corporation, representing the insulation industry; H. R. Northrup, NLMA and National Small Homes Demonstration; Sid Darling. secretary, National-American Wholesale Lumber Association; Bruce Wilson, of the Structural Clay Products Institute; W. D. Richardson, representing the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau; and Harry H. Steidle, of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
