Association operated at57.82 per cent of capacity d*iog the week ending May 31, according to the weekly Eumrnary of mill reports issued June 6 by the AsEociation.

These mills are in the Douglas fir region of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.
Production of 2lO identical mills, for which the Association has weekly records of production, orders and shipments, totaled 150,918,263 feet for the week ending May 31; orders werc 152,206,799 feet and shipments 1581965,609 feet. Production at these mills declined 16,000,000 feet from the previour week; ord'ers increased approximately S,(XX),OOO feet and shipments gained about 6,O(X)'(XX) feet.
Production at the Northwest mills is now about 55 per cent of capacity and a number of mills have closed down for an indefinite period. The extra heavy curtailment in output at the rnills this month has given the California market a better general tone. Cutting is reported to be a little stronger, and the scarcity of l/2-inch lath has increased the price of thie item.

If all of us could forget for a few days how hard times are, and go out and hit the ball just as though times were good -THEY WOULD BE.

We all know that a man can start down the street feeling like a million dollars; and let three men take turns telling him how ill he looks and he'll probably be laid up for a week. That's what has happened to this country of late. We have all been so busy feeding each other pessimism that it's made us all sick. The old Devil FEAR-the daddy of all dangerous germs-h""*tolaul hold of us.
A friend who just returned from a long cross-country drive over several states, was amazed at the pessimism he found when he got back to the big city. In the counfty, and in the small towns, he found everyone busy, everyone interested in the crop situation, everyone intent on their own affairs, and he just decided that everything was all right. It was when he got back to where too many people rub elbows and exchange dubio,us opinions that he discovered that business -"r O"*U. * *
We need a national tonic of minding our own business, keeping our mouths shut, and working like HellenBellappy, We tell each other how dangerous conditions a!e, and we scare each other into hanging onto every nickle. So we don't spend anything, and naturally when no one spends, no one sells. And when no one buys or sells, there is no need for anyone to make anything, and the industrial wheels stop turning. That's the sort o,f fix we're getting this country into with our mouths. A little less talk, and a lot more work, and we'd soon be climbing*the hill.
Every run on a bank is caused by loose tongues. Every business depression starts that same way. The Stippich Lumber Company, of Wichita, Kansas, has a splendid idea. They have been mailing out pledge cards. You make the pledge to yourself. You agree with yourself that you will not talk pessimism of any kind to anyone, for a week. If the nation would take and keep such a pledge, the business sun would soon be shining. * *
Cheer up ! Console yo'urself with the thought that some of these fine days there will again be a good lumber market, normalcy will prevail in buying and selling, timber will a-ain be in demand, and the "good old days" will come back. They WILL. Don't doubt it. You can't stop them. The pendulum always swings. It's the result of inexorable law. The lumber business will live, and smile, and go on its way. And-doubtless-we will be so sure that the Lord
takes care of us that we will make as little preparation for the next depression as we have for this one.
A letter from a very keen lumbermpn, R. W. Wetmore, Secretary of the Shevlin, Carpenter & Ctarke Company, one of the biggest milling concdrns in the nation, says: "The law of the survival of the fittest is the order of the day, as it has been since the beginning of time, and I think that the law is functioning today, throughout the industfial world, a lot more severely and heartlessly than it ever has before in the history of our industrial progress." Yes, the 'law of tooth and fang, the competition of the jungle, is with us today as never before.
I am somewrrat stepticlt "lo,L an", word ..fittes t,', anyway. If times of business stress served to eliminate the less useiul specimens of the species, and to strengthen those of useful and admirable qualities, a panic now and then would be welcomed. But it seems that "fittest" doesn't mean "best". It means "toughest" in many cases. When these business storms blow over the institutiong and personalities we could get along well without, are generally found still on the job. It's the "good that die young", with business as well as humans. it would seem. :t rt :8
The retailer who believes that his business consists of stocking building materials and selling them to people who ask for them; and the manufacturer who considers that when he has turned his trees into lumber and then shipped it to some dealer hd has done all that should be expected of him; both are in the same class. Both are liabilities to the industry.
)k :k :k
In times like these you hear plenty of recriminations. The majority seem to get their exercisc by jumping on the other fellow-energy that could well be used to help along the situation. By mail, and by the spoken word, there come to me criticisms of lumber people, from lumber people. The buck passing still goes on. This is still the buck passing industry.
rl**
Dealers tell me that lumber catches more Hell than other industries in times like these because the manufacturers do so little constructive work for their own busine_ss. Mill men tell me that the weak spotl in the whole situation is that the dealer doesn't try to sell lumber, and, since lumber can only be sold through the dealer, lumber sales are slow. And mill men tell me the weaknesses of the manufacturing department; while dealers tell me the frailties of other dealers. The file before me today is an interestin-g one.

One letter is outstanding. It comes from a retail lumberman of the highest repute. He has been trying to keep his business good by working along promotional lines of late, hitting the ball morning, noon and nlght, and getting big results from his efforts. Recently his competitors came to him and protested his efforts, threatening that if he did not desist they would start doing the same thing. Laugh that off. That's something that I don't believe could hap:. pen in any business but the lumber industry. Even in times like these the Pip's *object*to progress.
I'd like to say this, seriously. and definitely to the retail lumber business. I think your businBss is on trial before the wodd. Right now it is being weighed in the scales. In

times like these, when all men admit that the chief hope of selling building materials is by stout-hearted merchandising along the route of the small order, repairing, remodeling, re-fixing, etc., how are YOU measuring up to the necessities of the hour? Look yourself in the eye, and answer the question * ,< *
In spite of all the propaganda, publicity and bally-hoo of the past months, the effort to create business along the only practical route now open, is undoubtedly lagging. The average retail lumberman has NOT taken hold and lent his efforts to create business-at a time when there was no other way to get business. It is every man's duty and obligation. The sit-tighter is a menace to the business.
Two publications of special interest, particularly in the technical field, have recently been published by the California Redwood Association. The first of these is "Naturally Durable California Redwood in Structural Grades". This publication carries safe working stresses approved by the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. The second is "Naturally Durable California Redrvood in Modern Timber Structures"
The booklet devoted to structural grades gives the Association's new grading rules conforming to essential provisions of A.R.E.A., A.S.T.M., A.L.S., etc. The booklet on modern timber structures is of a more popular nature, illustrated by photos of some of the more than 60 bridges built or building during the past year in California, Ohio, Kansas, Tennessee and Arkansas, and taking nearly 72 million feet board measure.
Both publications are being distributed without charge and will be furnished to those who are interested in their subject matter. In connection with the publication of these booklets the Cali'fornia Redwood Association has called attention to the fact that every piece of structural redwood is inspected, grade and tracle marked and every shipment covered by inspection certificate. This inspection, they sta-te, is done by the Association's inspectors and not by mill employees or representatives.

_.Ta-corya, Wash., June 4.-A survey of production plans, district by district at a meeting of the Wbst Coast lumber industry here today, brought out the forecast that lumber production in the Douglas fir region is expected to be at from 55 to 6O- per cent of capacity during fhe coming two or three months and unlikely to rile much- above the li-igher figure d-urjng the remainder of the year. Reports 'i'ere given of the operating plans of morg than 80 per cent of the industry's,capacity. Many mills were reportid as down indefinitely _and practically ill others as operating on reduced schedules.
Col. W. B. Greeley, Secretary-Manager of the West Coast I-umbermen's Association ieported-that orders since the first of the year were 61 per ient of capacity and ZO per 'cent bglow new business in the same period of last I^"1:^lh.-industry, he stated, had produced ipproximately 500,000,000 feet less lumber this year than list and sold about 900,000,000 feet less.

inventories had demoralized the industry and its markets, Colonel Greelev said.
Colonel Gre6ley urged the establishment, mill by mill, of a firm price basis for selling lumber, each mill to issue its own price list to be in force for all its selling until re. placed by a later or revised list. Buyers throughout the rail trade areas, according to Colonel Greeley, who recently returned from a trip to the Central States and the East, were in need of lumber but all were hesitating about buying as long as values were not stable. The firm price policy, properly presented to the trade and carefully adhered to, rvould, in his judgment, assist the industry great- ly by stimulating retail dealer buying.
Lumber conditions throughout the United States were reported on by J. D. Tennant, president of the West ,Coast. Lumbermen's Association. In the south. he said. weather was unfavorable to the small mills and slack markets were slowing down the larger units.
H. W. Cole, vice-pre,sident and general manager of The Little River Redwood Company, Crannell, left San Francisco June 11 on a business trip to the east. He expects to be gone between three or four weeks.

N EVER BEFORE have we seen so much interest'in modernizing. Lumber dealers everyrvher.e want the profits which this busines.s brings. T-he question is, how to get ttrem.
The Creo-Dipt Company has had seven years of ex' perience in the rebeautifying field. !7e were the first to start advertising to home-owners. Now we know tfiat something more t{ran advertising is necessary to gell re' beautifying. We know that what dealers n6ed is a defi' nite selling plan. Out of our long experience, we have prepared such a plan.
This plan shows you exactly how to go about organizing a modernizing department of your own. It tells how to train workmen, how to figure your costdr how to train
salesmen. More than that, the plan works. A number of dealers arc akeady using it successfully.
Your Creo-Dipt representative has snrdied this plan thoroughly. He knows just how to apply it to your own particular set-up. Von't you arrange to have him explain it to you in detail?

Reproduced on this page is the picture of the "Tree over Tree" to whi'ch Mr. Hink inakes reference in his letter be- low. This picture was published in the February I, 1929, issue of this paper, accorrpanied by a,descriptive article, which did not state the exact location of the tree, however. No doubt the discovery of the exact location, brought about through thb enterprise of Ernest Freeman of ihe ' Eureka office of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co., will prove most interesting to many of our readers and to the public, who will want to see this g'reat natural curiosity with their own eyes. Mr. Hink's letter follows:
San Francisco, June 3d, 1930.
Mr. Jack Dionne, Publisher, The California Lumber Merchant. 318 Central Buildirtg, Los Angeles, California.
Dear Jack:
Just about two years ago, Ern€st Freeman of our Eureka Office forwarded me a pi,cture which he felt would go a long way toward creating considerable interest in the wondelful durability of Redwood. Believe you will agree with me, Ja,ck, that 'rErnie" had the right idea.
This picture has since ,become known as the "Tree over Tree" picture and from th,e negative of the original picture, which we had taken, many thousands of ,copies have been made and distributed by , most of the Redwood Mills. Numerous requests from all sections of this country, as well as from foreign countries, have come in seeking information about this "freak of nature." The picture has been featured in many different advertisements, including one of an Eastern coffin manufacturer who recognized the rot resistant qualities of our product.
Interest in this picture has not been limited to "lumberdom"; all who have seen the picture hav'e marveled at nature's lumber masterpiece. Think of it ! One tree 2500 years old had grown over a fallen tree 2000 years old-and both sound ! What substitute for Redwood can ooint to a like record?
This interest has been very gratifying to all of the Redwood people, and in particular to "Ernie." Recently "Ernie" made a trip to obtain further data on this subject, data that I feel sure vou and your readers will be glad to have. Here it is:
"Tree over Tree" is located on property of Hans Jorgensen about seven miles north of Crescent City. Mr. Jorgen- sen's famil;r is ,called upon daily to show interested visilors this "Tree over Tree" (Should some of your readers desire to include a visit to this "Tree over Tree" in their next trip over the Redwood Highway, Mr. Ernest Freeman of our Eureka Office will be glad to direct them).
The man standing in front of fallen tree is Peter Paulsen,

an old time lumberfilsrr; whose enthusiasm over Redwood is based on many years' experience making Split Redwood Products, etc.
Tree on, ground is approximately 8 foot diameter.
"Tree over Tre€" is 11 feet one way and 10 feet the other way. Measurement was taken on top of the stump.
End of tree on ground where it was sawn ofi is very sound.
The outer zones of this log are .charred which gives evidence that it has withstood the attack of fire. A few years ago, Mr. Jorgensen used part of the trei on the ground to make split products; he found the wood sound, bright and contained but very little waste.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Hearings in the Philippine Mahogany case instituted by the Federal Trade Commission against the Gillespie Furniture Company began at Los Angeles on June 2. This is a reopening of the case which was tried several years ago when seven Respondents were ordered to discontinue the use of the name "Philippine Mahogany" as applied to certain rvoods imported from the Philippines. As a result of this decision many concerns and users of wood, of which the Gillespie Furniture Company is one, requested the Federal Trade Commission to institute new proceedings.
Williarn C. Reeves is presiding at the hearing. Edward L. Smith and C. D. Sadler are the attorneys for the Commission, while the Respondent is represented by W. D. Martin. At the conclusion of the hearing in Los Angeles, hearings will be held at San Francisco and Seattle.
D. J. Cahill, president of the Western Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, when interviewed by a representative of this paper in connection with the case, stated:
"The present Philippine Mahogany case is, in effect, a re-hearing of the old case which was tried by the Federal Trade Commission several years ago. In the old case, seven respondents were ordered to cease and desist from using the term 'Philippine Mahogany' as applied to the well-known lumber imported from the Philippine Islands. The decision was based on findings of fact, some of which disparaged Philippine Mahogany as a cabinet wood and also attempted to establish the botanical classification for lumber. On appeal the Circuit Court of Appeals in New York affirmed the decision on the ground that the court could not go behind the findings of fact where there was any evidence whatever to support such findings, and this decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals rvas left unchanged when a petition for a writ of certiorari was denied by the United States Supreme Court. The old decision is binding on no one except the respondents in that case and such others who have since then voluntarily agreed .to a stipu- lation with the Federal Trade Commission.
"One Circuit Court judge stated that the findings were contrary to the weight of the evidence. Numerous dealers felt that the old decision was an injustice to a very large industry of an insular possession of the United States, which has been built up over the course of the past twentyfive years. They knew that Philippine Mahogany was an excellent lumber available in large quantities and fine qual- ity, and that the finding of non-suitability for cabinet purposes by the Commission was erroneous in every sense of the word.
"They r,r'ere also convinced that the old case has been brought at the instigation of other mahogany interests, im-
porting their lumber from foreign countries, due to the fact that the Philippine Mahogany lumber industry was making heavy inroads on their business.
"Because of this situation, certain Philippine Mahogany dealers and users, of which my company was one, requested the Federal Trade Commission to bring new complaints against them so that a re-hearing could be had, at which these dealers would have the opportunity to develop the fact that Philippine Mahogany, while not in all cases as fine a cabinet wood as the older mahoganies, nevertheless bore a close resemblance in appearance and characteristics to the other mahoganies, was suitable for the same purposes, and was therefore entitled to the name 'Philippine Mahogany'. Emphasis was placed on the fact that Philippine Mahogany is widely used, especially on the West Coast, as a first class furniture and cabinet wood, and for house trim.
"As a result of these requests, the Federal Trade Commission filed a number of complaints against dealers in and users of Philippine Mahogany, including my company, and by agreement, the Gillespie Furniture Company was selected as the respondent in the case first to be tried.
"The Federal Trade Commision has also filed a complaint against an Eastern concern for the use of the term 'African Mahogany' as applied to the lumber generally sold under that name, to determine whether the word 'Mahogany' should be restricted solely to those mahoganies which fall within the botanical classification 'Sweitenia'. Neither African Mahogany nor Philippine Mahogany is Sweitenia.
"Friends of Philippine Mahogany are determined that the facts with reference to the fine qualities of this lumber shall be brought out in the hearings now being held. They feel that the question in this proceeding is not whether all Philippine Mahogany lumber will make as fine furniture as some of the better grades of the older mahoganies, but rather rvhether Philippine Mahogany is, in itself, a firstclass cabinet wood and whether it will make first-class furniture and other cabinet work. In the old case coniiderable testimony was taken in the attempt to show that it was necessary to treat Philippine Mahogany in some cases slightly difierent from Sweitenia mahoganies in order to secure an equally acceptable finish. The wide and growing use of Philippine Mahogany by furniture manufacturers, however, shows that this condition, if it does exist, is causing no concern to the manufacturers of today. In some of the antique finishes Philippine Mahogany is conceded to take a better finish than the Sweitenia mahoganies. Philippine Mahogany is making a name for itself as cabinet wood."

With thirty years in a lumber yard, in a Middle Western state, Whe-re folks are poor but honest, hever fretting 'bout their tate;
Came Mr. Billy Booster, a Lumbernran by birth, To give himself an outing, before it was too late.
He surely knew his lumber, as money he had made; So started for Los Angeles, and for his ticket paid.
He got in town two years ago, and couldn't sleep at night, Just thinking of the business, that seemed to be in sight. He thought of those hard winters, and the summer months to come,
And how he'd wasted most his life, back there where he was from.
He thought the whole thing over, after talking with a few Who didn't know a lurnber yard, from Mother Grundy's stew.
They filled him up on heated air, and took him, out to dineThey showed him how a lumber yard would prove a placer mlne.
He left his friends and hurried horue, and sold his business out, And back he came with all his dough, he took the shortest route.
He started in to buy a yard, but then on second thought, A real estator got his scent, and a piece of land he bought. Most of his caq-h went in the land, 4t prices far too high, But rvith the bisiness he would get,-hi knew it was a-buy; IIe started in to build his sheds, and bought his motor truck, And felt at last that he was friends with Sister Lady Luck. He wrote his friends back home and told about the plans he had,
And every iime he thought of them, it made his heart quite sad.
The day soon came for him to buy some lunrber for his yard; The.salesmen came in stl'arms and talked and handed him their cards-
They all made prices that seerned fair, all quoted A-S-T;. He never heard this term before, but he knew about Rail B. lfe soon became confused and thought the best thing he could do
Would be to make a hook-up with a firm he thought he knew. He called on them and dealt his cards, and told of plans he'd made-
He told them how his land was clear, and all his bills were paid.
He said he had ten thousand left to buy his opening stock, So they put their arms around hinr, and then led him to the

Another yard to what they had would make them quite a few. So Billy proudly opened up, and business came his way; He figured estimates at night, and sold more every day; He kept this up for quite a while, and did not stop to look Just what the boys were daily putting in his ledger book. He figured all his customers were honest and would pay, And when he needed money he'd collect it in a day. The firm he bought his lumber from were very proud of him, And all the time they knew they had our Billy on a limb.
One day they needed money, and they called in fashion bold And told our Mr. Booster that they loved him as of old, But that they needed noney, foq to pay some water freight, And that his credit was beyoard the figure he should rate. He started out collecting, for some money he did need, And when the day was over he came back with one trust deed; His customers were very nice and treated him just fine, But every place he called for dough they had a different lineThey offered him most everything from eggs to roller skates, In payment of his lumber bill, as settlement to date. He could not pay the lumber firm as he expected to; He told them he was trying hard, but that he no can do. They told him ngl to worry, as they knew an out for him, But his chance of making money was appearing very slim. They let him go along a while and then one clo:dy day A letter came by Ungle Sanr, derhanding him to pay. As soon as Billy read it he began to shake and fret; He hurried to the city-he was worried you can bet. It only took a little while for him to know his fate, And as he left the office he realized it was too late. They made him sign some papers that put Billy on the street, And all that night he walked the floor with swollen head and feet;
Next morning to the yard he went and there to his surprise, A stranger sat at Billy's desk, bef_ore his very eyes. He told our Billy he was done, that he was now the boss, And not to worry over things, and just forget his loss. With heavy heart he left th_e place, and never looking back, He started for his rooming house, his things there he did pack; He bought a one-way ticket East, and there he is today, Where lumber can be traded for a load of barley hay. He labors in the yard he sold, and does not nrind the cold, But often thinks of Sunny Cal and all the stufi he sold; He wonders how they pay their bills, and what they use for cash.
Out here where every lumber mill goes through the cut and slash.

Westwood, Calif., tvtay t7, telO. Dear Mr. Dionne:
The compliment implied in your editorial quotation of one of our'advertisements is greatly appreciated, I can assure you. Coming from the writer of "Vagabond Editorials" it is praise indeed.
For a number o{ years, I have read your editorials regularly. Like a voi,ce in the wilderiess, you have been showing the Industry the only way to Salvation. It is a very discouraging job; I have tried it.
The human race seems to be so constituted that the more self-evident a truth is, the stronger our opposition to its acceptance. When a certain line of action seems absolutely necessary to our well being, that is the one thing we postpon€ and avoid and substitute something else for until the last minute.
It is very easy to enumerate the faults and failures of the Lumber Industry when we compare it with its competitors. We know that Advertising and Selling, the two greatest for,ces in American Commercial and Industrial progress are practically strangers to the tumberman and we can go on from there and find a lot of things wrong.
It seems to me that what we need most is constructive thought and someone with guts enough to keep on shouting it in the windows when he is kicked out the door.
My nomination would be you and the work you ale doing in your progressive and aggressive journals.
With best wishes for your success, I remain Yours very truly,

Ah Hin was a Chink from over the sea, Round and browh as a Chink should be; Of English words he had far too few, But he always managed to say, "ian do."
Ah Hin was busy the whole day long Perhaps he belonged to the worker's tong; But whether his tasks were old or new, His invariable motto was, "can do."
We played and rested, he worked the while, Wearing a placid, inscrutable smile, And under skies that were dark or blue, He cheerfully gave us a bland, "can do."
If he were weary, no one could tell, Over his face no shadow fell, To his heathen heart our v/ays were new; But he tackled stfange jobs with a calm, "can do."
There was never a frown on his queer moon face I With quiet contentment he filled his place. The light in his oblique eyes shone true, And it deepened and glowed when he said, "can do."
Ah Hin was a heathen? May be so, But he taught me a lesson, this I know. And faith and courage I oft renew, As. I think of his eager and brave "can do."

Washington, June 10.-The amusement field is develop- ing another extensive outlet for lumber. Lilliputian or Tom-Thumb golf, which can be played on a course about twice the size of a tennis court, is taking thousands of feet of two-by-fours for frames for greens, fairways and, hazards. The game is taking hold in all sections and courses are being built on a commercial basis on many vacant city lots.
The game is arranged tb simulate on a very small scale the ancient Scottish pastime. Green are a few feet in diameter and fairways may be twenty to thirty feet long and barely more than a yard wide, depending upon the lot space available. Commercial returns from the game are said to be very high and it is frequently conducted in conjunction with "Bar-B-9" ot refreshment stands.
The average course requires about one hundred 2x4s, turned along one side, l2-foot lengths, for frames. While a contractor's installation on a commercial site, including sand and stone traps, may cost several thousand dollars, the layout can be duplicated on private grounds in homemade fashion at a cost comparable with construction of a tennis court. Since the courses can be moved. the improvement is of a semi-permanent nature, It affords a profitable way of temporarily using vacant building lots.

Keen interest in the publication of the Uniform Building Code, 1930 Edition, is being evinced by municipalities and all branches of the building industry. The code, *hich is the third edition prepared and published by the Pacific Coast Building Officials' Conference, has just come off the press and copies are now being distributed, it was announced by H. E. Plummer. president of the Conference. Mainly the same as the 1927 or next previous edition, the 1930 edition brings the Uniform tsuilding Code thoroughly up-to-date through the inclusion of recently voted changes.
Through adoption of the Uniform Building Code, 77 cities and towns are now enjoying economies of construction resulting from simplified building practice. The cost of buildings is kept as low as is consistent with safety, at the same time preventing the construction of hazardous buildings such as are all too common under antiquated or hastily assembled building codes. Not only are savings apparent in the first cost of buildings, but the greater protection provided for occupants and contents of buildings results in lo#ered insurance rates, according to President Plummer.
The 77 adoptions have taken place in three and one-half years, this being the length of time the code has been in existence in book form. Of these adoptions. 69 are on the Pacific Coast an<l eight are in the Miaate West and the South. The cities range in population from less than 1,000 to 300,000.
"Correct and unbiased building regulation based on nationally recognized standards of safety and good construction was the aim of the Pacific Coast Building Officials'

Fire caused an estimated loss of $150,000 to the plant of the Fidalgo Lumber & Box Co., Anacortes, May 23.
Conference in compiling the Uniform Building Code," declares Mr. Plummer.
"Laying aside prejudices and depending upon facts instead of guesswork, the Conference formed its decisions regarding the use of building materials," continues Mr. Plummer. "Actual fire and strength tests made in nationally known laboratories developed these facts and the result is that the maximum use of materials allows substantial savings without sacrificing the necessary safety."
Intended at first for use by Pacific Coast cities, the code has proven to be so soundly prepared that cities all over the United States have asked permission to use it.
Public interest in the code movement is general. Knowledge that proper legislation protects the public by safer construction and by elimination of the operations of the shyster contractor has in several cities brought out a popular demand for the adoption of the Uniform Building Code. Classification of buildings by type of construction and by use and occupancy, permits the application of necessary safeguards for the protection of life and property according to the existing hazards. Standard specifications guarantee the quality of materials. Particular hazards are dealt with by specific regulations. The whole code is arranged in a logical and understandable manner to the end that confusion may be eliminated and maximum savings of building costs be realized'
Copies of the Uniform Building Code, 1930 Edition, may be secured through Conference Headquarters, 1101 Heartwell Bldg., Long Beach, Calif. The price is $1 per copy in quantities of less than 25.

A possible man of affairs, A possible leader of men, Back of the grin that he \irears, There may be the courage of ten; Lawyer or merchant or priest, Artist or singer of joy, This, when his strength is increased, Is what may become of the boy.
Heedless and mischievous nowi Spending his boyhood in play, Yet glory may rest on his brow, And fame may exalt him some day. A skill that the world shall admire, Strength that the world may employ, And faith that shall burn as a fire, Are what may be found in the boy.
He with the freckles and tan, He with the fun-loving grin, May rise to great heights as a man, And many a battle may win. Back of the slang of the streets, And back of the love of a toy, It may be a great spirit beats, Lincoln once played as a boy.
