How Lumber Looks

Well informed lumbermen from coast to coast harbor the solid conviction at this time that there is a very definite bulge developing in the national lumber industry. The selfsame urg'e that is making the stock market soar upward of late, is going to have a lot to do with it. Fear of inflation is the stoutest element in the stock market rise. people with money are inclined to buy something with it, rather than keep it locked up. Lumber is bound to feel the effects of that opinion. Besides that, retail lumber inventories have been reduced steadily all over the country for the last several months. Dealers never buy on a weak price market. They buy when lumber shows signs of rising. A whole lot more lumber has been sold by the retail trade, than has been bought by thbt same group. Plenty of lumber is needed to fill in the gaps. The dealers generally are in good financial shape and well able to buy and pay for the lumber they need, when the buying starts. California has probably been buying more freely for immediate use than any other part of the country, and while prices are unsatisfactory, volume is high. Building permits remain high. When buying in the rest of the country starts, and there are general reports that it is now starting, the general price situation will be promptly strengthened. Many wise men believe that we will have a very ambitious lumber maiket from coast by the end of the summer.

A recent survey of sawmill operations in Washington and Oregon by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association shows that of 950 large and small mills.in those two states,

550 are entirely down, and only 115 are running full time.

Now that the President has signed the new wage and hour law, making it effective in October, there is much inquiry as to what efiect it will have on the lumber situa_ tion. In the West it will have none to speak of. In the South there are an almost countless number of small mills paying far less than the legal minimum, and running far more than the legal maximum of hours. If the law became effective at once, those mills would have to close, assuming that the measure will be enforced. They could not possibly run and sell their lumber at the present price of smallmill Yellow Pine. Only a tremendous increase in yellow Pine prices between now and October ,could keep those mills operating. That is the secret of the 120 days delay in making the law operative. If it went into effect today, many thousands of small mills would close, their employes would be thrown out of work with no work to be had, and the political effect would be very bad. If a high lumber market comes by early winter, this will be minimized. If not, the shut-downs will be too close to the fall elections to make any difference in that way.

151 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon whi,ch reported to the West Coast Lumbermen,s Association for the week ended June 18, produced 74,96f.,893 feet of lumber. New business for the week reported by these mills was 86,190,043 feet, and shipments were 84,778,79O f.eet. The unfilled order file stood at 235.830.879 feet.

This being the wedding season it is timely to observe that most of the wedding rites that you see solemnized in our best Christian churches are of pagan origin. Sure. Ever stop to think why the bride wears the wedding ring on the fourth finger of her left hand? You probably never considered the matter. But they all do. The old pagan Romans believed very sincerely that there was a nerve directly connecting that finger with the human heart. That's why. Throwing rice is an old eastern custom, done as a wish that the newlyweds would always have plenty of their favorite food. The veil is an old pagan custom from the East. It used to be the rule that the bride should wear a veil through the ceremony, and that the bridegroom should be the first to see the features of the bride, after the wedding ceremony. The wedding cake is from pagan Rome. The couple used to eat of the wedding cake as part of the ceremony itself. Neady every other fixed process that has to do with modern weddings came directly frorn the pagans of old.

There are two strong ;r":, lt "t o,ort mightily for the well being of the lumber industry every day of the year, and they are not on the payroll, either. The first is twelve hundred thousand marriages annually. The second is the continual deterioration of tens of thousands of homes, drifting every day from old to obsolete.

Put your personality *";; business. Don,t have a business just like the other fellow. Don't do things just like he does, and just like you yourself have always done. Your best chance to progress is to get your business out of the rut, and your best method of doing that is to put your personality behind it. Make it a personality business. See what you've got !

If I were a dealer f would try to sell the paint to cover every board I sold, and I would likewise make it my business to see that the customer got a good painter to put the stuff on. (I sometimes wonder if the paint folks notice that we have written and published more original paint editorials than all the other lumber journals in history, combined?)

In the old, old d"y, irr*tnJ Pine industry in the South, there were just two lumber grades, Star and Common, the Star being the upper grade. Once a dealer had sold a man some alleged Star lumber, and the customer kicked on the grade. "That isn't Star lumber" said the excited customer; "look at those knots." "Silly" said the lumber dealer; "those aren't knots-those are Stars."

Tom Dreier used to tell th] ,lory ot the tumberjack in British Columbia who lives at peace with the world, and wants nothing but to stay that way. He makes his abode in a blossom-covered cottage on the edge of the forest.

"What would I do with money?" asked the satisfied one. "With money," replied the visitor, "you could go places." "lfell !" exclaimed the lumberjack; "ain't I some place now?"

Bob Oggood Returns From-Long John E. Marshall's Picnic July 10 Eastern Sales Trip

Bob Osgood, sales manager for Cadwallader-Gibson Company, of Los Angeles, has just returned from a four months' sales trip that took him to all the hardwood consuming centers of the country from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to the Carolinas. In addition to his sales efforts he put in much of his time doing missionary work for Philippine Mahogany, and he reports that the hardwood users of the East demonstrate a constantly growing knowledge of and interest in the beautiful woods of the Philippines. He believes that when the up-swing comes again (and he believes that this is going to be a big lumber using year before it is over), Philippine will be merchandised among the furniture and other large eastern manufacturers in the face of a great deal less sales resistance than it ever has before.

While admitting that Philippine sales have been unusually slow of late, he thinks a big bulge in business in general and hardwoods in particular, is decidedly imminent.

Sampson Company Celebrate Ninth Birthday bv Announcing Two Splendid New Products

On July 4th, 1938, the Samps,on Company, of pasadena, will be nine years old. It has been nine years of continual and uninterrupted progress in the making of screens and allied products, and they celebrate their birthday by announcing the advent of two new products of distinguished character to add to their already varied line of quality stufi. The two new products are both combination sash and screen doors with steel sash (cadmium plated).

Bill Sampson, founder and owner now closing his thirtieth year in the screen business in Southern California, calls one of these new combination doors the ..SampsonRex," and the other the "Sampson Easy-To-Wash.,, He has been working for a long time perfecting these two doors and preparing his large factory at 745 South pasadena Avenue, Pasadena, to produce them in commercial quantities.

The Rex door has a steel sash (which is cadmium plated for rust proofing). An Acme spring sash balance is used in this door to make for ease of operation. The panels between which the sash slides are rezited to prevent warping, and the sash slides between the panels in a metal channel to keep the friction constant and to reinforce the panels. The screen is readily removable to allow the washing of the outside of the glass.

The "Easy-To-Wash" door has two horizontal sliding sash (also cadmium plated),. with a positive center lock. To remove the sash for washing just slide the inside sash to the middle of the door, pull in at the bottom, and you have the sash in your hand. The outside sash removes the same way.

Mr. Sampson describes both doors as simple, durable, and economical, manufactured with the greatest of care and finest materials. He believes that from a standpoint of vision, light, ventilation, and simplicity of operation, they establish a new high mark for combination doors. High grade sugar pine is used in all their screen construction, every corner is held rigidly by glued hardwood dowels,

special screen groove grip construction keeps the wire firm, and only brass tacks are used throughout.

Mr. Sampson is a dealer-only distributor and announces that these new doors, together with the better known Sampson products, will be sold through the lumber dealer only. Besides their full line of quality screens, Sampson Company specializes in blinds, shutters, and Louvre Doors, also in standard and Sivon Swivel ironing boards (the Sampson swivel ironing board locks in position).

In the nine years he has been in business Mr. Sampson has added steadily to the equipment, arrangement, and efficiency of his plant until now it is one he has every reason to be proud of. He has operated a full crew full time in season and out, and reports a splendid volume of business for the surnmer months. He expects these new doors to be very popular additions to his line of products.

, NEW YARD AT SEAL BEACH

' California Builders Supply, Inc., has opened a retail yard at Seal Beach. C. L. Miller, president of the company, has been associated with the building industry in Southern California for many years and was formerly in the building material business in San Bernardino. W. R. McWilliams, who is office manager, is well known in lumber circles and for the past.five years was secretary of the Ontario-Upland Lumber Club. The company will handle a complete line of lumber-building materials.

Phase oj lmprovement Prol of Calaveras Cemen

Bv \7. E. Trauf{er Reprinted lrom Pit und Ouutry, Janua

At San Andreas. Cal.. in the heart of the Mother Lode Country, from which centuries of er'osion washed gold-bearing gravel into the creek and river beds, is the plant of the Calaveras Cement Co. Built in 1926, this plant has long been rated one of the most efficient operations in the cement industry, but in the last two years it has been so improved that it is now one of the sl-rorv places of the industry on the Pacific Coast. Every department of the plant {rom the quarries to the pack-house has been modernized lvith the result that a wide variety of cements can now be made. The products of this plant include: standard Portland cement, white Portland cement, pumicite or P'ortland-puzzttctlan cement, -plastic early-hardening cement, and modified or low-heat Portland cement.

The history oi the quarries which supply this plant would alone make an interesting article. When the plant went into operation in June, 1926, the stone and shale required were cleliverecl from Quarry No. 1, which is about Y, rr'i. from the plant. Quarries No. 2 and 4 were later opened but most of the stone now used is obtained from Quarry No. 1. The stone in this quarry will average about 7O pet cent calcium carbonate. The shale is quarried with the limestone from the same quarry.

A gasoline and a Diesel locomotive were used to haul stone and shale to the plant until 1935. when this method was abandoned in favor of motor truck haulage' Quarry No' 4, which was openecl in 1935, contains a very pure limestone averaging 95 per 'cent calcium carbonate or better' This quarry has been developed to a point rvhere it is able to supply a large part of the raw material for the plant when needed. There is a S%-mi. roadway from this quarry to the plant. Its construction required the excavation of 200,C00 cu. yd. of material and the erection of three trestles; one of them has in it a concrete overpass crossing the scenic Mother Lode Highu'ay. At no point does the grade exceed 1 per cent, and all the curves were designed for possible future railway haulage. The rvhite clay used in the manufacture of white cement is obtained from a near source, as

is also an extremely-fine rhyolitic sand used in the manufacture of pumicite cement.

The drilling in Quarry No. 1 is done with well drills and jackhammers. Shots bringing down as much as 200,000 tons of stone are made. A Bucyrus-Erie 75-B electric shovel for No. 1 quarry was purchased in 1936, and it loads stone and shale into trucks. This stone is then hauled, weighed and dumped into the primary crusher. At present five trucks are used in this work. A So-ton Fairbanks scale is ttsed to weigh the stone and shale. The rotary car dumper formerly used has been left in place f,or possible future use.

In the secondary-crushing building a second gyratory crusher duplicating the first was installed in 1936, eliminating a "bottle-neck" in the flow of material. At the same time reinforced-concrete foundations for both 'crushers were placed in order to take vibration out of the steel structure concrete retaining walls were built under the r'ock-storage gantry to confine the rock and save handling costs; and supporting cross walls incase the steel A-frames under the crane rails, giving them much needed protection. This work was done by the Macdonald Engineering Co.

Also in 1936 the two raw Compeb mills were equipped rvith four screens served by two Wilfley slurry pumps'

A Lee cooler was installed in 1935 to serve one of the two rotary kilns. On October 75, 7937, a Western Precipitation Corp. Cottrell electrical precipitator was connected to this kiln and it will soon be connected t'o the B kiln. Kiln gases are drawn from the precipitator through a concrete stack, which was built at the same time, and a dust-recovery system from hoppers under the precipitator feeds the dust back into the kilns.

Early in 1937 a new Compeb mill and three additional Sturtevant air-separators lvere installed in the finish-grinding department. Each of the mills is served by a new AllisChalmers bag-type dust-collector. Two new Fuller Kinyon pumps and a Robinson pumP were added in this department'

In 1936 two of the eight cement-storage silos were divided into five compartments each by the Macdonald En-

gineering Co., and a new Fuller-Kinyon pump was installed to serye a new &tube white-cement packer.

Many other changes made in the last two years include the installation of a new Ingersoll-Rand air-compressor, the construction of a new refractory-brick and oil storage building, and the improvement and modernization of the laboratories and offices. All the electric power-lines in the plant were put below ground in fiber ducts and new transformers were installed to handle the increased plant load.

To go back to the primary-crusher, the stone and shale are dumped from the trucks into the 42-in. Allis-Chalmers

Superior McCully primary gyratory crusher which crushes it to 8 in. and under. A2l5-ft. belt-conveyor discharges this stone on grizzlies and into the two Allis-Chalmers 10-in. gyratory secondary crushers, which reduce the stone to minus I in. ring before it goes to the 25,000-ton rock storage. Practically all the shale passes through the l%-in. grizzlies and is discharged on a pile in the storage separate from the high and low limestones.

A Milwaukee crane fitted with a 3-cu. yd. clam-shell bucket blends these materials as it feeds them into two 330ton bins serving the two No. 8726 Allis-Chalmers Compeb mills. Two Wilfley 6in pumps transfer the product of the first compartments of these mills to two pairs of Tyler. Hum-mer screens equipped with 2Gmesh screen cloth. The material retained on these screens is returned to the mill feed. The slurry containing the fines is discharged into a sump from which it is s,cooped into the second compartments of the mills.

The finished slurry is discharged from the mills direct into two Allis-Chalmers air-lift pumps which transfer it to eight 900-bbl. conical-bottcm slurry-storage tanks. Air agitation only is used in these tanks, and another air-lift pump transfers the slurry from one tank to another for blending. The corrected slurry is discharged by gravity into two kilnfed tanks. Two Wilfley 4-in. pumps force the slurry from these tanks to Allis-Chalmers Ferris-wheel feeders serving the two kilns. 'Ihe feeders are driven by Reeves variablespeed reducers, the motors being interlocked with the kiln motors.

The two Allis-Chalmers rotary kilns are ll% tt. and 10 ft. in diameter and 24O ft. long and are identical except that kiln A is equipped with an F. L. Smidth 4o-ft. dense chain system. Excellent results have been obtained fnom this chain installation. The clinker is discharged from kiln B into an Allis-Chalmers 8-ft. bv 73-ft. rotarv cooler. The

clinker from kiln A is discharged into a Cement Mill Equipment Co. 74-lt. Lee Process grate-type cooler. In addition to pre-heating the combustion air f,or the kiln this cooler has been responsible for a marked improvement in the grinda- bility of the clinker and an increase in the kiln,s capacity. Kiln A is producing about 2,000 bbl. and kiln B aboui 1,2j0 bbl. of clinker daily. The clinker from both coolers is discharged direct into storage.

The kilns are oil-fired with Dubbs fuel which is g.7 spe- cific gravity and contains 18,28O B.t.u. per lb. (8.4O lb. per cal.)

The old induced-draft fan on kiln A was replaced by a No. 48 Buffalo induced-draft fan. A similar fan was placed on kiln B. Both fans are connected by a balloon-type duct to the precipitator. An F. L. Smidth draft-control system and louvre dampers are controlled from the burner platform.

The Cottrell precipitator is of standard ,construction with two separate compartments of three sections each. It has a rated capacity of 240f(}l- cu. ft. per min. The entire unit is 23 ft. 4 in. wide, 6 f.t. 2 in. long and 34 ft. 7 in. high to the operating floor. When both kilns are connected, separate

Operctiag lloor ol precipitctor with cir-hcrmmer being used to cleqn collecting Electrodes. flues will carry the gases to the inlet chamber of the precipitator. Distribution vanes in this chamber divide the gas equally between the two compartments of the precipitator. Multi-vane dampers control the gas flow, so that either unit can be shut off entirely and all the gas passed through one oompartment with either or both of the kilns in operation. Electric-motor operated louvre dampers at the discharge ends of these compartments control the flow of the dustfree gas into the single reinforced-concrete stack. This stack, built by the Rust Engineering Co., is 125-ft. high and has an inside diameter of l3%-ft. at the top.

In each of the six secti,ons of this precipitator are 17 rod curtains which act as collecting electrodes. These curtains are 8 ft. long in the direction of the gas flow and 18 ft. high. They are spaced 8 in. apart to form ducts, in the centers of which the discharge electrode wires are suspended. The discharge electrodes are cleaned at intervals by rapping hammers controlled from the operating floor. The collecting electrodes are cleaned by the operator with an air-hammer which is suspended from a trolley so that it can be moved over both compartments. This hammer is used to

rap the anvil studs which are connected to each oollecting electrode and which project up through the floor.

When it is necessary to shut down either of the two compartments for inspection or adjustment it is cut off from the gas flow. All the manholes are then opened and the stack draft, acting on both the outlet and inlet flues, cools this compartment and removes the dusty gas in a short time so that it can be entered safely. Removable cover plates sealed with asbestos gaskets provide access to the top of the precipitator and to the hopPers.

In the substation on the operating floor of the precipi-

The precipitated dust is collected in hoppers under the two compartments. One drag-conveyor under each compartment discharges the dust to a screw-conveyor which ordinarily feeds a 4-in. Fuller-Kinyon Type H. pump. Dust of high alkali content can be disposed of separately. The pump feeds the dust into two conical-bottom bins on the kiln-feeder fl'oor. Under these bins are Fuller Co. rotary feeders driven by U. S. Vari-Drive motors which regulate the feed of this dust into the kilns.

A Milwaukee traveling crane, fitted with a 3-cu. yd. clamshell bucket, transfers the clinker and gypsum from storage to bins supplying the three finish-grinding mills. Table feeders are used. The Allis-Chalmers Compeb mills and the new mill are all No. 826 machines. A 10-ft. Sturtevant air-separator was connected to one of the Compeb mills in 1931. In1937, when the new Compeb mill was installed, two 16-ft. and ,one 14-ft, Sturtevant separators were added to the finish-grinding plant. Screw-conveyors and two new Fuller-Kinyon pumps, a 5-in. and an 8-in., were installed to make possible a number of flows between the mills and the separators. A 6in. pump installed in 1931 is also used for this purpose.

This new mill, with the new separators, pumps and conveyors, was installed primarily to make possible an increase in cement fineness as well as to provide additional grinding capacity. The new arrangement is flexible, and can be operated in open or closed circuit. This flexibility makes possible the,production of different types of cement.

Two 6-in. Fuller-Kinyon pumps were used to transfer the finished cement to the storage silos. A Robinson pneumatic-conveying system rated at 180-bbl' per hr. capacity has been installed to alternate with one of these pumps.

tator are located the three sets of transformers and rectifiers and the switchboard. Each rectifier is a mechanical switch with a stator disk of bakelite mounted on the motor shaft' Metal tips on the rotator disk contact shoes on the stator disk with a clearance of 3/32 in. Each transformer is a single-phase variable-ratio unit. The rectifiers convert the single phase of the seoondary current to a uni-directional interrupted current. The switchboard has a tap switch connected to whichever of the taps is desired from the transformer, and a rheostat for controlling a bank of resistance coils located on the primary power-supply. The amperage used on each electrical set varies fnom 6 to 12. The primary power is reduced from the nominal 44O v. to about 380 v. by means of resistance connected in the circuit. The hightension power connected to the precipitator is 5O,00O v.

WHEN YOU ARE OLD

When you are old and gray and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read and dream of the soft look Your eyes once had, and of their shadows deep.

IIow many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty, with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fed And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Butler Yeats.

THE DEMOCRACY OF THE DEAD

In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the .republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philoso_ pher ceases to be wise, and the song of the poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his millions, and. Lazarus his rags.

The poor man is as rich as the richest, and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor is acquitted of his obligation. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worldling his pleasures, the invalid needs no physician, and the laborer rests from unrequited toil.

Here at last is Nature's final decree in equity. The wrongs of time are redressed. Injustice is expiated, the irony of Fate is refuted; the unequal distribution of wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and opportunity, which makes life such a cruel and inexplicable tragedy, ceases in the realm of death. The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest captain succumbs to that invincible adversary, who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished.-John J. Ingalls.

AN ERROR OF STATEMENT

The officers of the Ladies Aid disclaim all responsibility for the wording of the following announcement which appeared on the bulletin board of the pumpkin Hollow Church a week ago:

THE FACES OF FLOWERS

New Product Dispels Noise Within Building

Minneapolis.-A new product, recently announced by The Insulite Company, nationally known manufacturers of building materials, is gaining widespread use in offices, shops, schools, churches and other public buildings. Applied to walls and ceilings, it absorbs sound, reducing echo and its consequent confusion.

In modern offices, the clicking of business machines is quieted by Acoustilite. Its manufacturers claim that its use results in much better working conditions, higher efficiency of the entire office personnel, and less nerve strain.

Restaurants and dining rooms can now reduce the annoying rattle of dishes and clank of silverware, permitting patrons to enjoy their meals in comparative quiet.

School rooms are made quieter with this remarkable product. Students have a greater opportunity to concentrate and study. In corridors, assembly rooms and workshops noise is controlled.

Theaters welcome this method of providing better en' tertainment by improving sound reception, enabling patrons in all parts of the house to hear distinctly.

Churches, too, find that this acoustical correction enables members of the audience to thoroughly enjoy the music and sermon. The hum of many voices incident to large Sunday School rooms is hushed to quiet tones.

Beautiful interiors are also achieved by the application of this new material on walls and ceilings. It is made in two attractive finishes, one with the appearance of soft-surfaced Travertine stone, and the other an open-mesh fabric covering. Both are painted a neutral buff shade, and further decorative stenciling in cold water flat paints may be done without impairing the acoustical properties. Furnished in squares.and rectangles of various sizes, the tile-like boards can be arranged to form almost any pattern desired.

As an insulation, Acoustilite effectivelv combats heat loss from the building in winter and protects against heat entry during the summer months. Churches and auditoriums, where temperatures are intermittently lowered and raised, are more quickly warmed because of this material.

Low cost and economical application are further advantages claimed by the manufacturers, who point to its threefold use as a valuable improvement to almost any property.

Revised Edition of West Coast Standard Sales and Shipping Practices

lssued

Seattle, June 25, l938.-Publication of "S.P.-2," a second revised edition of "Official West Coast Standard Sales and Shipping Practices," was announced today by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Many important changes have been made, according to the Association announcement, making "S.P.-Z" a necessity to all in the industry who need to keep up to date in West Coast sales and shipping developments.

"The preparation of this manual has been a long and extremely technical, detailed job," stated R. D. Brown, assistant secretary-manager. "The result, we believe, accurately reflects industry practice, eliminates confusing and debatable matter, and supplies a simple, dependable sales and shipping guide.

"Among the more important sections, the one covering the requirements of the domestic water business has been more fully covered; the term 'item' has been strictly defined; the question of reinspections of mixed grades has been explored and charted; shipments beyond port of discharge are dealt with in detailed terms; meanings ,of various commonly used terms and symbols are clarified; tables of standard shipping weights have been broadened to include definite weights for workings not previously provided for; standard shipping practices and differentials for Western red cedar and Sitka spruce lumber are now incorporated in the manual of 'Official West Coast Standard Sales and

Shipping Practices."

Orders for the new publication, ciation, will be filled on a basis of its approximate cost.

I wonder, when the Glorious Fourth Is heralded throughout the land With booming guns and waving flags And many a patriotic band, If we with grateful hearts will pledge i Our faith and constant loyalty

I To this dear land we call our own, Whose gifts are hope and liberty.

Here comes the Fourth of July ! Hurrah and again hurrah ! Independence Day will be celebrated with the sound of roaring guns, popping fire crackers, strains of patriotic music, and the cheers of pleasure loving throngs. There vuill be flights,of oratory-ceiling unlimited-and perchance in many hearts a rededication to the ideals and principles for which the day stands.

I wonder if you recall the old slogan, "My country, right or wrong;" it was popular several years ago-perhaps we underestimatei its value, at any rate it slipped into the discard. Bemused by the rapid and astonishing changes in world affairs and unduly influenced by exotic propaganda, some among us adopted pernicious ideals of life and liberty and grew sophisticated. These misguided souls called themselves modern thinkers-intellectuals, who considered it very clever to criticize the land in which they

lived, ridicule her traditions and condemn her institutions. They were tearers down, uninterested in the processes of correction and up-building; just human termites gnawing at the foundation of Freedom's temple and boasting arrogantly the while of their powers and hopes of destruction.

At the present moment, even the most deluded among us, cannot fail to see what is happening in those lands beyond the sea, where their own type of ideology flourishes and despots rule; also the organization of subversive groups here in our midst, enables us all to study their activities at short range, and ansrver understandingly, the question, "whither do they lead?"

Let us hope that when another Fourth of July smiles upon the land, it will find us all united in our allegiance to one flag and one country-and realizing that it is indeed a blessed privilege to stand-

"With Freedom's soil beneath our feet And Freedom's banner floating o'er us."

There are no stars in a despot's flag, so, A toast to our orvn Star Spangled Banner of the freeRed of the dawn's first flaming light, White of the mountain's shrouded crest, Blue of the skies that smile abol'e

Rhymes For Dealers

The man who travels all around And ne'er acquires a foot of ground

Or, from the town that gave him birth Goes hence and visits all the earth, Will find, when at his journey's end, He had no time to make a friend, And all alone must ope the gate

Of life's last door, and face his fate.

And likewise he whose money's spent

For other people's homes, in tent, He, also, is as insecure

And finds elsewhere as great a lure

As he who travels on his way, Here yesterday,'and there today.

But you will find in every town

That those good men who settle down And build a home and keep a PuP, Are always men who settle uP

And pay their bills right on the dot, And keep a lien from house and lot'

That man's a citizen worth while,

The banker greets him with a smile;

The butcher cuts a chunk of wurst

And says, just pay me on the first.

The grocer sends him sack and can;

The bill is good for such a man

And favors he will always show

To him who owns a bungalow.

The m'oral of this little pome

Is that it pays to own a home'

Armstrong Will Make First Shipment3 From New Factory This Summer

First shipments of Armstrong's Asphalt Tile will be made from the new factory of the Armstrong Cork Comppny at South Gate, Calif., early this summer, H. W. Prentis, Jr., president of the company announced to members of the 1938 Advisory Committee of Armstrong resilient tile contractors, at their recent meeting held in the company's general offices at Lancaster, Pa.

"Production of asphalt tile in California will greatly improve the service enjoyed by Pacific Coast contractors, and make possible a very considerable savings in delivery time and freight charges," Mr. Prentis said. Eastern, southern, and central sections of the United States will continue to be served by direct shipments from the Lancaster factory.

The two-day conference of the Advisory Committee was devoted to the discussion of various suggestions resulting from correspondence between committee members and their fellow contractors. Previous to the meeting, each of the committee members had written to all of the Armstrong contractors in his geographical division of the country in special reference to the meeting. The replies were used as the basis of the discussions.

Action on recommendations of the contractors made thr,ough their representatives on the Advisory Committee, will be announced from time to time in Tile Talk, a monthly publication as well as in Tile Topics Bulletins.

FHA Showg 25Vo Plan

An insight to the rules governing the sound financing of a home are given in a new FHA chart, which appears below. Quite significantly "net income" is defined as the amount remaining from salary or earnings after payment of notes, automobiles, furniture and other installment obligations have been deducted.

It is pointed out that a person earning $20O a month, but buying an automobile on monthly installments of $35 and r,l'ith other installments of $15 rvould have a monthly "net income" of only $150.

The FHA chart follows:

Dedicate New Church of California Redwood

With the coming of June and winter to the island Nauru, south of Melbourne, Australia, a congregation of 1,00O natives gathered to dedicate the new church of California Redwood constructed by the Reverend C. L. Welch of the London Missionary Society. To the handsome bellrey ol the new structure they moved the bell from the old church, which had fallen prey to the dreaded giant white ant.

Searching for the proper material for the new church, Reverend Welch used as his guide the technical bulletin, "California Redwood and Its IJses," published in 1937 by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, which said:

t'Termites, commonly called white ants, are the most destructive enemies of wood. The heartwood of California Redwood contains certain elements which are believed to impart to the wood the characteristics of a natural preservative, making it one of the most termite-resistant woods produced in the United States. This is verified by actual tests conducted by the Bureau of Entomology of the United .States Department of Agriculture."

After consultation with John Sharp & Sons, Ltd., timber merchants of Melbourne, Reverend Welch placed an order for more than 50,000 lineal feet of redwood timbers, all to be pre-fabricated and erected first in Melbourne. Each fabricated piece was numbered and then dismantled into approximately 1000 sections for shipment to the island site. There unskilled natives, under the direction of missionaries, put the sections into place and within three months the complete structure was in use.

The building is of Gothic architecture in cruciform. Its general measurements are 110 by 8O feet, with a seating capacity for the entire congregation of 1000 souls.

Because ventilation is one of the chief problems in church attendance on the island. more than 40 louvred Gothic windows were placed in the structure, plus six inch ventilation

vents between the concrete foundations and the redwood. Every precaution was taken to eliminate the hazard of termites.

California Redwood, or Red Pine as it is known in southern Australia, has long been used for its durability and resistance to insect attack. Shipments of redwood have been going regularly to Australia since 1858, this country leading all other importers of this durable wood.

"!(/estern Pine Camera Yiewttt In Demand

The Western Pine Association reports that the demand for copies of its 1937 and 1938 editions of "Western Pine Camera Views" for home builders is far in excess of expectations and requcsts continue to arrive in every mail from each section of the United States.

The 1938 edition, a thirty-two page, plastic-bound portfolio, is a pictorial presentation of home building ideas based on actual installations of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine. This edition contains an entirely new set of illustrations. It shows attractive, low-cost homes as well as more pretentious structures. New treatments for sidewalls, enameled woodwork, formal paneled rooms, intriguing cabinets, cheery, modern kitchens, built-in bunks and knotty pine playrooms are but a few of the illustrated suggestions of ways to build really livable homes with West Pines.

The information this book contains will appeal to lumber merchants, builders and architects, as well as to Persons who plan to build. A sample copy will be sent free to any interested organization if the request is written on the firm's letterhead and sent to the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.
