Three facts stand out in considedng the softwood lumber situation in California today.
First, the stock of unsold lumber at San Pedro is very low.
Second, inventories show stocks in the hands of t{re dealers all over California, and particularly in Southern California, to be unusually low. Hand-to-mouth buying that has never been more hand-to-mouth, is the rule.
Third, fotced to that action by depressed conditions, low volume, and low prices, a huge shuaing down of the Fir mills of the Northwest is already under way. Several big mills r€Port that they are actually boarding up their mills and leaving only a watchman on the job, and will stay down indefinitely. Some mills are closing and not even going to offer fot sale their stock on hand. They are going to let it ride for the next few months. Big mills are closing, according to definite reportsr on all hands. Many are already down. Othets are going down rlrtough June and up to July 4th, at which time there will be a shut-down of scores of big mills fot an indefinite period.
ft looks as though lumber is going to be scarce, and, regard' less of the fact tfiat there is no immediate ProsPect of large in' crease in California consumption, the closing of the mills is going to have a very definite efrect on the California situation.
ft would be very wise for lumber buyers to consider thought' fully what efiect the conditions just noted are likely to have.

Plenty of timely, friendly, a4d apparently sincere Pats on the back to keep the Vagabond Editor feeling that this selfappointed job of gad-fly to the lumber industry really does some good'
An official of Southern Oak Flooring Industries in Little Rock, Arkansas, writes: "Your ability to stay in there and pitch winning ball under the caption of Vagabond Editorials is one of the most constructive and therefore most helpful things in the entire tu;nU;r industry."
An ofEcial of the Battle Creek Lumber Company, away up in Battle Creek, Mich., praises our efforts to sell the idea of research to the lumber industry. "We feel," he says, "that every word you.say is absolutely true and we sincerely hope that the lumber industry will awake to the situation."
The little specid "Keep That Boy in You Alive" has been our permission to the extent of more than two thousand reprints, and reguests to use it are sti in. That clinging to youth is so deep
seated in message minds and hearts of all of us, that that little great appeal.
{<**
fom Dreier, famous publicity man, tells a little story in hisl"The Vagabond" of a man at peace with the world, a {gdberjack in British Columbia who lives content in a b\om covered cottage on the edge of the forest. A rich visitir commiserated with this man upon his poverty' urging him to move to the city and make money. "What do I want with money?" asked the lumberjack. "\ /'hy," replied the rich man, "you could go some place"' "Hell !" exclaimed
the lumberjack in disgust, "ain't I some place now?"
But they're not all *n"a*-f. *o *u, hand struck a mill friend of mine for a job. He seemed competent, so my friend was taking him on. "Where are you from?" he asked. The newcomer spat tobacco juice freely. "From every place this side of Hell," he replied, "and I'll soon be , from here." And he was just as contented with his lot as / fo- Dreier's man who wouldn't travel.
-tne ancient Romans built the world's first great roads
"rh", men might meet." A lovely thought that's worth - holding. It reminds me of a great Frenchman who said: "Language is given us that we may say pleasant things to each other." Those two thoughts couple well together. :F*{.
A famous traveler is quoted as saying: 'ofraveling is not
only a pleasure to people of our time, but a duty." That grand old lumberman of the West, Robert Dollar, of !a1 I'rancisco, has done more to make it possible and practical for people to see the world than any other human that ever lived. Wonderful boats, wonderful service, skilfully planned arrangements, and personal assistance to those who would know other lands and other seas, is iurnished by the Robert Dollar boats out of San Francisco, and the fact that these privileges may now be had in this world at reasonable prices, can be credited one hundred per cent to Robert Dollar. A great man, with a genius for doing things that benefit others. ***
One of my lumber friends writes me about these Vagabonds in a somewhat different vein than others. He says sometimes when he reads these castigations, he feels like writing me the letter that the hen-pecked soldier wrote back to his wife from his station in France, saying: "Don't send me no more nagging letters, Nellie. They don't do no good. I'm three thousand miles away.from home and I want to enjoy this war in peace." ,1.**
In a grand article on meeting the changes that are ta\ing place in business, "The Rotarian," Rotary's intefnatifnal magazine, says this editorially: "The business-that if\G tunate enough to have leaders who afe C${d wtt!|ftfficient imagination-and a little imagir\qi6n is alltthat is ever necessary-to be dissatisfied with tf,ings as they are, is the one who organizes a department of discontent in the form of a research laboratory, and then definitely sets out to try to change things for the better." :k**
And this same editorial tells a story. A good one. Surely it is like holdinq a mirror up in front of the lumber industry, to tell that story. It is about two old hansom cab drivers who refused to be terrified by the invasion of the motor car and cab, and who stuck for years to their stations at the Hotel Plaza in New York. They were waiting for good times to come again.

Had a big talk the other day with an asphalt man. Neither the auto, the radio, nor any other industry has made more definite and amazing advanges and changes in the past five years than has asphalt. And as a result of their research and laboratory work, wonderful new products are constantly appearing that keep their business alive. One asphalt firm has a research department of approximately fifty men. "All they have to do is find new things that asphalt will do, new ways that asphalt can be used, new products made of or based on asphalt, that the public will grab for. We don't use all the things they develop, but we use lots of them-enough to make that department the best investment we ever made." Get the idea? One firm; with fifty men in that department, finds that it pays in pure gold.
world's most wonderful homes, a lumber dealer got a lot of calls for wood from which to build antique looking furniture. He finally bought a carload of "pecky" Red Cypress from Louisiana, tofill thetill It was an instantaneous hit.
For the benefit of those who have never seen it, "pecky" Cypress is the most forlorn looking of all commercial woods. It is apparently riddled with big worm holes, and filled with defects. It looks like a very poor grade of Number Four. But it is deceptive. The wood, where the holes are not, is sound, stout, and most practical. If you can find a place to make a nail hold, the wood is stout, won't rot, will last forever. The Cypress people created a big place for it'
And you should see the furniture they have been making with it in Beverly Hills. Wonderful looking tables, buffets, chests, cabinets, etc., are made with rough edges, uneven ends, and hammered rough hardware. These articles of furniture have gone into the most beautiful homes in the town. They apply grey paint and rub it in unevenly. It makes the dirty, rickety, fake antiques that your antigue dealer has been offering look sad by contrast. The wormhole looking defects in the boafds add wonderfully to the look of age. And why not? That wood probably lay for thousands of years in the mud and water of some Louisiana
In Beverly Hills, California, home of thousands of the swamp.
Spokane, Wash., May 28.-At a conference of lumbermen, county, state and federal officials and others at Spokane, 'Washington, May 25, it was decided to investigate the forest tax problem in eastern Washington, with a vierv to taking ultimate action for preservation of forest resources. Fifty-three were in attendance at the meeting, representing Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon.
A committee to pursue the investigation will be appointed by R. L. Bayne, of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, Spokane, also chairman of the timber products bureau of the Chamber of Commerce.
This committee will include one representative from each county and one each from the following organizations: Chamber of Commerce, forest schools, private timber owners, cutover land owners, federal g'overnment, agricultural interests, grazing interests, county agricultural agents and sportsmen's associations. Other representatives will be included on the committee as the committee sees fit. The committee is to collaborate with north Idaho representatives of similar interests.
Opinions rvhich seemed to prevail with the majority of those present at the Spokane meeting were that private interests cannot afford to own reforestation land unless taxes during the growing period are merely nominal; that only the best lands can be held permanently by private interests; that much marginal forest land is not suitable for a lumber crop, but should be protected from fire to preserve water sheds, hold the soil in place, provide grazing areas, and for recreational areas.
That the state or federal government should permanently own the marginal forest lands and protect them; that no effort should be made to reforest for commercial uses every available acre, because there is not sufficient market for lumber.
It was agreed the present policy of the counties selling tax delinquent timber lands is bad. Such lands are purchased for the value of the second growth timber, the timber is cut, and the land once more is allowed to revert to the county. No taxes are paid on it and the only return the county gets is the small price paid at forced sale for the land. These prices in most cases are negligible.
"Business has got to be more like baseballnuick to meet the situation," remarked a bleacher fan the other night after witnessing a heady change in generalship.
Looking about us we see our fellow merchants in the drug line, in the new day grocery or in the cigar store taking care of the much discussed 'rconsutner's dollar" by fi[ing as many needs as posrible.
Palco Redwood Bark is a MULTI-PURPOSE insulation. It keeps out the heat of summer and saves warmth in winter. Sound waves, too, get lost trying to get thru. In old and new construction as well as in just about every industry there is a place for it. Here are a few:
Laid between ceiling joist, Placed between walls, Between floors (stops noises and heat), For insulating cold ctorage plante, For brooder and incubator houses, Between rafters,
Pack around cold pipes, Sell it to separate noise and quiet, It is an Al refrigerator jacket, Every water tank old or new needs insulation, Keeps cold in holding tanks.
Heretg a lusty "red-haired" youngster fot the lumber merchant that stimulates the imagination. Arrange now to get a 425-portnd bale where your customers can get their hands and minds on it. They'll buy it for plenty of needs ranging from a vermin-proof bed for the pooch to insulation for the auditorium. The main thing is to expose your customers to it and they will catch the idea.
When Mother Nature brought out her new model tree and called it Redwood, she handed it an AGELESS garment that was raincoat, pneumonia ;acket and asbestos poncho all rolled in one.
Behind this ageless blanket of protection R e dwoods have laughed at the ttntamed elements. Searing summers and wintery blartseven fames that roared their way over less able trees, left the Redwoods to grow great in years and ponderous.
Engineers have called this protective cloak the t'American Cork." It is more than that. Each red. hairJike fiber is made up of tough, thin-walled cells. These cells supply the "dead air spaces" that mate insulation highly efficient.
Nature played another trump when she made this fiber not only a poor target for 6re, but protected it against moisture, rot and vermin. Just ae this bark has helped the Redwood tree to become the oldest and largest living things, it has countless places in buildings and industty.
IA. J. "Gus" Russell, manager of the Santa Fe Lumber Company,.San Francisco, announces the extension of the company's California White and Sugar Pine business to markets further afield. Mr. Russell announces also that this department is now in charge of Frederic S. Palmer, well known San Francisco lumberman, who has a very large acquaintance with buyers and dealers in California Pines all over the United States and Canada.
Mr. Palmer has been identified *ith the Pine business in California for a great many years. He gained valuable experience in the distribution of California White and Sugar Pine while he was manager for a number of years of the lumber department of the American Trading Co. After leaving this concern he was in business for himself for several years as a wholesaler of these rvoods with headquarters in San Francisco. ln 1926 he accepted a proposi{on to build and operate a lumber manufacturing plant at El Salto, State of Durango, Mexico. When hiJ iontract with this concern expired he returned to California and b_ecame general sales manager for the Madera Sugar Pine Co., Madera, Calif.
In the interview with a representative of this paper dur- ing which this announcement was made Mr. Russell h_umorously referred to Mr. Palmer's prowess as a golfer. His remarks in this connection were about as followi:
"While we are of course anxious to extend our California Pine operations there is another important underlying reason for Mr. Palmer's affiliation with us.
"For some time this firm has not been well represented in sports. Albert Kelley for many years very capably took care of the indoor sports department, but with gray now etching his temples it seems proper we should have someone here who can make some showing in outdoor sports.
"Hereafter golfing lumbermen like Jo Shepard. "Chuck" Griffin, Ralph Duncan, Elmore King and others of their ilk nlay tangle with Mr. Palmer. Unfortunately I have retired from all fields, but fortunately have never been bitten by the Golfbug.
"As a wigwag warning, horvever. the gentlemen named should understand that Mr. Palmer's golf losses or winnings are entirely independent of his expense account and guard themselves accordingly."
Posey Manufacturing Company, of Hoquiam, 'Wash., recently opened a sales office in San Francisco at ll2 Market Street. The office is in charge of E. C. Hallinan.
Lloyd Harris, of the Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., San Francisco, was the principal speaker at a recent meeting of the Yuba City Kiwanis Club, when he gave a talk on the various uses of Redwood and exhibited pictures taken at the operations of The Pacific Lumber Co., Scotia. Mr. Harris was invited to give this talk by Cooper Nason, of the Nason Lumber Co., Yuba City, who is a member of ,0.1.1"0.
Washington, June 3.-Sales of lumber by retail dealers showed an increase during May of from 5 to 1O per cent over April, the June issue of "The Lumber Market", monthly business review and forecast of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, states. There will be a similar increase in June retail movement, at slightly lower prices, holever, according to the consensus opinion of two thousand reporters, consisting of lumber retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, banks, building and loan institutions and other informed sources.
Sales of lumber to retailers showed a I to 5 per cent decrease during May in the face of an expected increase, and prices paid by retailers dropped from 5 to 1O per cent, although only from 1 to 5 per cent of this drop was passed on to customers during the month. A very slight increase in sales to retailers is expected during June. A rather substantial increase in softwood sales to industrials. but no improvement in hardwood movement, is forecast for June.
On May 16 manufacturers' stock were 5 per cent below those held on May 18, 1930. Dealers' stocks increased substantially during May over April of this year and there was a slight decrease in stocks held by industrials.
Residential building fulfilled expectations, showing a 5 to l0 per cent increase in May over April, though a slowing down of this ratio for June is anticipated. Building money is reported "ample, but difficult to procure" in most localities, due to rigid credit requirements.
Nervark, N. J., June 3.-One of the "developments" which is somewhat chahging the aspect of the landscape as noted by motor tourists through New Jersey, is the introduction of golf driving ranges. These ranges which had their origin two or three years ago merely as practice ranges for golfers who wished to concentrate on improvement of their driving rvithout the fatigue and the delay between drives of following the ball around the links, are this year developing into a real amusement phase all over the country. Golfers come to them not merely to practice, but for the real fun of "lacing gut" ball after ball on measured fairways with their yardage plainly marked. A player can have a lot of fun merely playing by himself, and still more rvith his friends pitting their skill at driving against his.
At first these ranges were nothing more than a piece of open pasture land; but now they are being equipped with club houses and with rows of stalls arranged in semi-circles. Each stall contains an improvised tee and a comfortable r,r'ooden seat.
One of the most advanced golf driving ranges is one recently installed by A. B. Baker in the suburbs of this city. Mr. Baker's experience indicates that if golf driving ranges "catch on" with the public as miniature golf did last year a large market will be opened for lumber. Mr. Baker considered using other materials for the driving stalls, but decided that owing to the ease with which he could change the design and layout with the growth of the game, and the inexpensiveness of maintenance, he would use lumber. The stalls are partitions of the general shelter or shed. They are divided by wood partitions to a height of approximately four feet, with wire netting above that. There is a wooden walk along the entire length of the building, which gives entrance to the rear of each stall.

Men of 4O were inspired some ferv years ago by a statement from Henry Ford that it wasn't necessary to start saving, or pointing to success until that age was repched.
John C. Light of Miami, last week elected president of the Ariz-ona Lumbermen's association, should be an inspiration for'men past 6O years of age.
Mr. Light, now past 7O, is a successful business man who didn't start working for himself until he was more than 60 years of age.
Just turning the half-century mark and with a brilliant record as a lumber salesman for 25 years in the central states, Mr. Light decided to move to the Pacific coast. Carrying numerous letters of recommendation, he called on nearly all of the big lumber firms. His letters were impressive. They stamped him as a salesman of remarkable ability, but-he couldn't land a job.
Finally he asked one lumber manager why he couldn't obtain employment on the coast.
"If you were only 20 years Jrounger, Mr. Light, we would make a place for you in our organization," he was told.
That was it. f{e was regarded as an old man at 60 !
His determination increased. He decided to "show those fellows that at 6O a man is better equipped mentally to succeed. He has learned to avoid many mistakes through experience."
With that thought in mind he looked about for a location to go into business for himself. He decided upon the then young town of Miami, Arizona.
Soon after the towrl's establishment, Mr. Light arrived to start a lumber yard. Enjoying the benefit of 3O years' experience in the lumber business, he made an outstandlng success.
Today he has accomplished more for himself than he ever expected to do working for others.
"Why," he says, "a man is just getting ready to accomplish things when he's 6O."
His example should be an inspiration for many other men whose determination, tempered by years of experience, fits them for roles of achievement starting at the half-century mark.
It's a comforting thought for those whose hair is greying in these days in rvhich irrepressible youth is attempting to throrv a lively leg over the saddle of industry.

"Never before has the prospective home buyer been more interested in securing authentic information on home construction and design," according to a statement by Lanier P. Mclachlen, president of the District of Columbia Bankers' Association, in a letter to Axel H. Oxholm, director of the National Committee on Wood Utilization, Department of Commerce.
"To my knowledge the home buyer in general has never before had such information in regard to essential points of home construction and design, which must be taken into consideration in order to make his investment safer and more satisfactory," says Mr. Mclachlen.
Banks of the country interested in financing home construction should find the publication, "How to Judge a House," of great value, Mr. Mclachlen points out. Loans are often sought on homes already built, and even the appraisers sometimes are at a loss in determining true values. The Committee's book fulfills the need for a yardstick by which home values may be measured accurately.
The book is of particular interest to banks and building and loan associations, since it shows how the maximum of economy may be had without sacrificing good construction and efficient planning in the purchase of a house. Consequently, a house bought under these circumstances represents a safe object of loan.
The new publication was prepared under the guidance of special subcommittee, with N. Max Dunning of Chicago, a special su Fellow of t ittee, the American Institute of Architects, as chair-

Four more Southern California retail lumber firms have been licensed to use the West Coast I'umbermen's Associa' tion grade-marks on West Coast lumber grade4 _at their yardJ under the supervision of A. A. Kayser of- Los Angeles, Association grades inspector. The new firms are: Geib Lumber Co., I-os Angeles; Lumber and Builders Supply Co., Solano Beach; Union Lumber & Mill Co., Sa-nta 'Birbara: Bowerman Lumber Co., Glendale. A total of 47 Southern California lumber firms, some of them operating several years, have been authorized to grade-mark lumber at their yardq.

One twelfth the total area of California, or 8,372W acres, has been burned over in the past ten years (1921- 1930).by {9r.e9!,.brush and grass firesjcausing damagi estimated at $14,424,Offi and coiting $10,736,000 f-or fire freven- tion and suppression, according to official figures for Federal, State and other agencies- issued today by the U. S. Forest Service in San Fiancisco.
_ This ten-year record, according to Regional Forester S. B. Show, shows a gradual increase in ihe percentage of man-caused fires as compared with those staited by tightling. According to ten-year averag'es, the three causei of fires that are increasing are care-less smokers, reckless debris burners and incendiaries. In 1930, when the losses and acreage burned were far below normal, fires caused by man amounted to 3,769 out of a total of 4,219, or 89 per cent as compared with a ten-year average of 81 per cent.
^ "At the opening of what threatens to be a season of high fire hazard in the valleys, foothills and mountains," sa-id Mr. Show, "travelers, iampers and other recreationists should remember that fires are extremely easv to start and can cause lasting damage to forest, watershed, recreational 1n{. -grazing: resources. Fire protection organizations in California must- depend on the iooperation oI the public to prevent forest fires."
- Warnings have been issued about the danger of careless throwing away of lighted tobacco in cigars; cigarette and pipe heels, but the lighted match that setJ the tobacco burn- ilg and is then carelessly throrvn on the ground is one of the chief offenders.

LKS' Clubs like the one at Burbank shown above. residences like the one at Pasadena shown below, churches, garages, markets, even fences need Sisalkraft behind the stucco.
Plasterers like its tough quality. It saves them labor and trouble. It gives the owner a wall that even driving rains cannot get through. It is good business for you to push Sisalkraft for every stucco job in your community.
And that is only one of the many uses for this quality paper. Every concrete slab should be cured and Sisalkraft is the automatic, economical way to do it. It was used over all floors in the building above and scores of cement contractors are using it for sidewalks, drives, etc. Ask for our dealer helps.

If you're looking for pessimism, long faces, hard times talk, or any of the various and frequent signs of the times that you get in the majority of business places during these times-stay away from Jack Plunkett and his cohorts of hustlers in the headquarters of the Pioneer Paper Company in Los Angeles. You won't find them there. Get a load of this from the lips of the General Manager of that great institution:
"Business is good. We have no kick coming. Everyone is on the road hustling business-and getting it. When a salesman comes in to report we say 'I{ello, when are you leaving?' We have not cut a salary. In the face of this depression we have actually raised some salaries for those who were hitting the ball the hardest. All our new stuff is going great guns. Our new line of Forestry Blend Shingles made the strike of our history. They were actually oversold in two weeks' time. We give our spread ads in The California Lumber Merchant credit for much of that result. Our line of Asphalt Emulsions is sinking in, and its volume grows daily. Our own forces have become wonderfully enthused over Emulsion opportunities, which makes them sell stronger. The lumber dealer is making us a wonderful ally. More and more lumber dealers are going into the
roof applying business, making the double profit. We find them great people to work with. Irook around and see if you see any long faces in our bunch. Talk to the boys and see what enthusiasm they have."
If your batteries need recharging, go down to the Pioneer placC and talk to the gang. It will sure pep you up. There's no depression down there.
And Mr. Plunkett announces two important changes in their personnel, both in the line of highly deserved pr_omotions. H. L. Wilber is Sales Manager of Pioneer. He has been with them six years in that capacity, and has a wonderful record. He is a hard working gentleman of distinguished personality. They are making him Director of Sales. He becomes more and more a specialist. He will turn a lot of the hard general work he has been doing over to a younger man whose broad shoulders assume the burdens gracelully, and who richly deserves the recognition of his boss. Harry Graham is the man. No more popular man calls on the lumber and building trade of California. He is one of the best and most successful salesmen of any sort in this territory. He gets the title of Sales Manager. ' He is a great guy and the territory is full of friends who will rejoice at-his promotion. He has been sixteen years with Pioneer and is high in their councils.

Washington, June 2.-Acknowledging receipt of a brief regarding the availability to the Federal Government of Association Softwood Lumber Inspection Certificates, sent him by Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, D. B. Wainwright, Jr., Acting Chief Co-ordinator of the Federal Government, says:
"I am pleased to note that such certificates are available to any shipper, from every recognized softwood lumber manufacturers' association in the United States. This information will be very useful to this office."
The brief explains that official Association Inspection Certificates covering shipments of softwood lumber are available at a nominal charge from every softwood lumber manufacturers' association. Any manufacturing shipper or wholesale distributor may procure such certificates regardless of whether he is an Association member or not. It is further explained that the costs are direct and indirect. The former cover the actual travel and hotel expenses of the Association Inspector employed, which, in the case of some associations, is supplemented by a small additional charge to non-members. The indirect costs, which are not assessed on non-members, cover the general overhead costs of inspection service to which (not paying association dues) they do not contribute. The practice of each association in this respect is described in detail.
Washington, June 2.-A number of short radio talks for the use of local lumber retailers, associations and others interested in the promotion of wood distribution, have been prepared by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association for the benefit of those using radio advertising or having courtesy arrangements which permit their use of broadcasting facilities.

I would say that when from the human heart the cry goes up, "What iJ it att about ?" it is no true answer to look only at that part of experience which comes to us through certain sensory organs and reply: "It is about atoms and chaos, it is about a universe of fiery globes moving on to impending doom; it is about non-computed algebra;" but rather is it about a spirit in which truth has its shrine, with potentialities of self-fulfillment in its response to beauty and right.-Sir Arthur Eddington.

-Daniel H. Burnham.The May meeting of the San Francisco Hoo Hoo Ctirl was conducted by the California Redwood Association, and was held at the Commercial Club, San Francisco, May 28.
President Jim Farley presided. Winfield Scott, well known authority and lecturer on forest conservation, and active in the movement to provide State parks, gave a short talk on the history of the Calaveras Grove, now being acquired for a State park.
Following Mr. Scott's talk the president made an appeal for contributions to the Parson Simpkin Memorial Fund, asking that these be sent direct to the treasurer of the fund, Chas. G. Bird, Stockton Lumber Co., Stockton.
In his remarks introdu,cing the speakers from the Redwood Association the president said that the association has definitely adopted the slogan of the Millwork Institute of California, which says, "there's a trend back to wood."
Max E. Cook, manager of the Redwood Farm Structures Bure.al, outlined the work of the bureau, the main object of which he said is "to increase the number of good firm structures." Mr. Cook brought out the fact that the work of this bureau is a distinct benefit to other species of wood as well as Redwood.
Reuben W. Smith, in charge of the Trade Extension Department of the association, gave a brief description of the work of his department, which he described as a "clearing house for information on lumber."
President Farley exhibited motion pi.ctures showing the whole process of manufacturing Redwood, from the tree to the car. The pictures, which are most interesting, were taken at the operations of The Pacific Lumber Complny, at Scotia, Calif.

The conservative middle path between extreme modernism and slavish worship o1 period style in furniture is
lsm slavrsh worsnrp ot perloc rn rurnrture rs pointed out in the booklet, "Furniture: Its Selection and the National Committee on
LJse," just issued through the Comn Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerc 'ood Utrltzatron ot Lommerce.
"Many creditable and beautiful pieces in the modern
manner have been produced," it is pointed out. "Likewise a number of gaudy and absurd productions, showing absolute disregard for the principles of art, furnishing and decoration appeared. Only the future can tell whether the modern movement in furniture will appear as a manifestation of the surging, dynamic life of the first half of the 2oth century or whether it will be regarded as an uneconomical caprice."
On the other hand, it has been asserted by authorities, there are far more pieces, supposedly antique in origin in modern rooms than there were actual pieces in Colonial homes.
"During the early Colonial days, the population of this country at no time exceeded 3,500,000 persons. Of this number only a relatively small percentage could afford luxurious furniture, since as in all new countries, most people were busy building up their industries. The present stock of so-called antique pieces in use today would far exceed the entire supply of furniture in existence a century and a half ago."
Another erroneous idea concerning antiques is discussed: "IJnfortunately there are being hoarded today many hideous pieces of the Victorian era which the owners fondly believe to be antique. These really belong in a museum of atrocities. No nation could escape growing pains, and of these the mid-l9th century pieces of furniture are among the most painful."
The possessor of a genuine antique is advised to use it as the key piece in a room, and to surround it with reproductions of furniture of the same period so that harmony and the traditional spirit of the setting will be carried out.
"Furniture: Its Selection and IJse" may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. It sells for N cents a copy with specially.reduced prices prevailing on orders for 100 or more coPres.
Leonard C. Hammond, San Francisco, vice president of the Hammond Lumber Company, made a short business trip to the company's Los Angeles plant the early part of the month.
Announced early in April, Super K-B Sheathing, a new product of Pioneer Paper Company has already attained wide distribution and sale among the lumber dealers of the West, according to a statement riade by Mr. J. H. Plunkett, General Manager of the concern.
"The major reason for the immediate acceptance of Super K-B Sheathing by the lumber dealer" said Mr. Plunkett, "lies in its value to the dealer in opening new accounts. Unlike ordinary'sheathing paper, Super-K-B ofters an entirely new field of uses because of its waterproof proper- ties. Manufacturers of products that demand protection from moisture absorption are large users of this item, such as cereal, and soap flake manufacturers. Machinery, furniture, fruit, and building material shipments also offer a ready market for the material, as well as its use for the lining of cars."
Super K-B Sheathing is made with a core of Asphalt Emulsion, another product of the Pioneer Paper Company, which efiectively shuts out water penetration, according to the manufacturer, and its strength is two and one-half times that of ordinary sheathing paper of equal weight.
H. M. Schaur has purchased an interest in the Good Lumber Co. at Tracy, Calif., taking over the management on June 1. Mr. Schaur was connected with the retail lumber business in Tracy for many years but left the lumber business about a year and a half ago to enter other lines of business. George A. Good, former manager of the Good Lumber Co., has purchased the Chase Lumber Co. at Pacific Grove, Calif., and taken over the management of that concern.
D. G. MacDougall has been appointed manager of the Wheeler, Osgood Company of California, at Los Angeles, succeeding Robert S. Osgood who recently became sales manager of the Washington Veneer Co. at Olympia, Wash. For the past several years, Mr. MacDougall has been assistant manager of the company's Southern California operatlons.
"Fences of Wood," reprinted from the journal, "Architecture," and obtainable upon request from the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, illustrates a number of different types of wood fences for the cottage home and the city or country estate. The architectural features of most of them are the same-a row of pickets nailed to two horizontal rails which in turn, are fastened to upright posts placed at equal intervals. Although the basic construction is simple, the finished effects are, in many instances, elaborate, yet the entire portfolio contains illustrations entirely "different" from the usual run of fences.
In the fifteen-page pamphlet there are seventy different types presented. The sepia finish on glazed paper adds an attractive feature and any lumber dealer should be glad to place the booklet in the hands of home owners or prospective builders. There are only nine hundred and forty-two eopies left and the first nine hundred and forty-two reQuests will receive prompt service.

nI HERE is a sentiment about oak flooring surpassing any other floor material. It is a sentiment that has developed through generations to make oak floors the standard by which all floors are judged. No wonder, then, that oak flooring is one home building material a fermily naturally chqoses-for its intrinsic value, to be sure; but most important, for the charm it adds to the home.

Selling the roofing lor a home like this gives you a profit. \(e are certain of that, if you happen to be a $"."er-Henry dealer. As such you are greatly assi*ed in getting the iob, because roofers, contractors, and calpenters, your best cugtomers recognize the merits of \(/eaverHenry matcrials. ln lact they are just about as capable of choosing good rooling as are you. Scveral hundred times a day along the entire Pacific
Coast they prove thcir knowledge oI roofing by relecting Weaver- Henry materials for their jobs. Sometimes their judgment is swayed by price cutting. But quality can't bc beaten on that basis; or any other. Weaver-Henry sales are increasing every day. There is proof.
Weaver-Henry dealers are building their profits by locating and selling prospects on WeavcrHenry roofing and then turning the iob over to friend €ustomer, a carpenter, tooler, or contractor. See how this eliminates submarine bidding.
