Samuel Rawlins Stevens, in his new book "Trees," tells of their character as living things, their habitat, their uses to man, and the great lumber industry they have made possible. His scene is the North American continent, with brief excursions into foreign tree lore, and a prevailing emphasis on the timber belt of Southern United States.

One chapter is illustrated with diagrams on the amusing and ingenious sign language evolved by lumbermen of the South to communicate with each other above the continual shrill scream of sawmills where they work. Other chapters are on tree growth and distribution, history of sawmilling, shrinkage, lumber grading, good lumber and good construction, famous trees in history, reforestation, forest fires, soil erosion, and odd facts concerning trees.

Mr. Stevens is one of a family of prominent lumbermen, and he has served on the staff of two lumber associations for over a quarter of a century. During the World War he served the United States government as lumber expert and technician. He has contributed to various trade and technical publications. For several years he conducted research departments for lumber manufacturing concerns, has specialized in tree growth and shrinkage, and is equipped with practical as well as technical knowledge on kiln-drying of lumber.

Do you fear the force of the wind-the slash of the rain? Go face them, and fight them, be savage again. Go hungry and cold like the wolf-go wade like the crane; The palms of your hands will thickenThe skin of your face will tanYou'll grow ragged and weary and swarthyBut you'll walk like a man! :i** -HamlinGarland'

Shakespeare wrote long ago that foqn-fifths of trhe world could irot conquer England. f wrote the other day that Hitler could not conquer F'rance. The blood-bathed Nazi showed me to be a bum prophet. But f'm still backing Strakespeare's prediction. ,f rF :f

When the history of this present day is written, it wiU be said that Hitler revolutionized the science of warfare; and Mussolini the art of cowardice. ***

With regard to the Roman dictator, a word is coming into common use by American writers; the word Jackal. I remember when I was a kid I loved to read the African adventure stories written by Rider Haggard. fn one of them a Zulu named Umslopagaas was about to fight a great black warrior. As he lifted his battle ax said to his foe: "Tonight the Jackals will laugh as crunch thy bones." The Jackal, you see, is the comes AFTER the battle.

*rFrk

Honest, wouldn't you hate to know that history was going to say about YOU what Mussolini must know it is going to say about HIM?

*:k*

These words that the great historian Macaulay wrote concerning John Hampden, partly explain, I believe from my amateurish viewpoint, the terrific recent happenings in France: "When he drew the sword he threw away the scabbard. He knew that the essence of war is violence, and that moderation in war is imbecility." That, unquestionably, was the attitude of the Germans. They .'threw away the scabbard" and took the initiative every minute of every day-

Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate cavalry officer rdtro

has been referred to by historians of our Civil War as "the spirit of battle incarnate," is alleged to have said that his method of winning battles was to "git thar fustest with the mostest men." ,Frtr+

This black hour in the history of civilization is putting a severe strain on human faith. Everywhere I go people in groups are talking war. And if you stand two minutes to listen, you generally hear something like this: "I don't understand why God allows that murderer to succeed, and to keep on killing decent people." That seems to be the chief worry of worlds of people; why does God allow a barbarian who hates all religion, to destroy Christian nations, and bring such immeasurable misery upon them? *,f*

To minds accustomed to think of the Almighty as a Supreme Being, a sublimated man, who sits on a shiny throne above clouds and manages ttre affairs of this world, that jS a most natural question. No doubt the Christian being torn in the Roman arena; the being burned at the stake by the Catholics; the being tortured by the Reformers; all asked that guestion-"why does God permit it?" {. * ,1.

It is related that at the beginning of the Civil War som€one said to Abraham Lincoln: "We trust, sir, that God is _or\ our side." And Abe is alleged to have replied: "It is more important to know if we are on God's side."

rf*t

We hear and read much of late about "a Roman peace." In the days of the Roman Empire the people of the rest of the harassed world came to call "a Roman peace" a peace settlement "enforced with sword, and scourge, and binding slavery." France faces such a peace, as these lines are being typed. ***

And the term "fifth column" which now becomes a household phrase following recent developments in the enslavement of Europe, comes from the recent civil war in Spain. One of Franco's generals remarked that: "There are fotrr columns marching on Madrid, and a fifth column of civilians in the city who will rise up to aid the troops."

*r**

By the way, do you know how many aliens there are

living in this country? About 3,600,000 who have not sworn allegiance to our Flag. Of these there are 365,000 Germans, and about 700,000 ltalians.

Victor Hugo wrote: "Man is master neither of his own life, nor of his fate. He can but offer to his fellow man his efforts to diminish human suffering; he can but offer to God his indomitable faith in the growth of liberty."

Theodore Roosevelt said this, and you should put it in your scrapbook. "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 per cent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else. When two flags are hoisted on fhe same pole, one is always hoisted underneath. The hyphenated American always hoists the American Flag undermost."

:k**

Surely lines of national cleavage are fast disappearing in this country. The other day I read the keynote speech of a political orator in the "deep South," and he took his text from-who do you suppose? Abraham Lincoln.

A man who'd do f{e'd even pull up almost try to change the name of Arkansas. Remember the famous speech made in the Arkansas Senate by Cassius M. Johnson when some politician suggested changing the name of Arkansas? You don't? It's too long for this column, but it ends up in this fashion: "Change the name of Arkansaw! You may extract sunshine from cucumbers, hide the stars in a nail-keg, put the sky to soak in a gourd, hang the Arkansaw river on a clothes line, unbuckle the belly-band of time, and turn the sun and moon out to pasture, but you'll never change the name of Arkansaw ! The whole world will pause and wonder at the audacity of the lop-eared, lantern-jawed, half-bred, half-born, whiskeysoaked hyena who has proposed to change the name of Arkansaw!"

"Promoting the sale of a wood, the unusual qualities of which suit it for a number of specialized uses," he said, "is essentially a job of rendering a close and helpful service to the dealers who handle it.

"In order to make the merchandising work of the association most practical from the dealers' point of view, the Board of Directors has appointed a man whose long work with retail lumber sales has eminently prepared him for the task.i'

Mr. Smith's appointment takes efiect July 1.

He was formerly secretary-manager of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles, composed of the retail dealers in that market-one of the largest in the country. In that capacity, and previously as sales manager of E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Los Angeles, he acquired an intimate acquaintance with the problems of the retailer.

The California Redwood Association, which he now directs, is composed of seven large-scale producers of redwood lumber, Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, Hammond Redwood Company, Hobbs Wall Lumber Company, Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, Monterey Bay Redwood Company, The Pacific Lumber Company and Union Lumber Company.

Residential Construction Reaches New lO-Year High

Washington, D. C., June S.-Residential construction in cities of 10,000 and greater population during the first four months of this year reached a new ten-year January- April high in both units and dollar value, it was estimated today by economists of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

$$QuAurYr.. '--LNPRIGEI

There were 91,543 dwelling units valued at $322,293,3m built or projected by all types of builders in the first third of the year, as compared with the previ set in -. these 2 leatures make the new the same period last ye:rr of 81,50O ugjlfrosting $290,869,-

000, according to the Board's Div';;klfi of Research and Statistics which bases its rnon the Department of Labor. study upon an analysis o{

building permits

In April 29,823 uniy{of. all types were built. This was a rise of 18 per S6t over March and 39 per cent over April, 1939. I construction was valued at $105,128,70O, or 19 per cent more than in March and 35 per cent greater than in April, 1939.

The April and four-month increases were due chiefly to continuihg expanding activity on the part of private builders, the Division's figures showed. The value of one- and two-family dwelling units-the construction of which is privately financed-was $80,469,500 in April, a gain of. 25 per cent over March and 38 per cent over April, 1939. This type of construction had a value of $222,14L,800 during the first four months of this year,14 per cent more than in the same period a year earlier.

Time and Chance

BY JACK DIONNE

"You write a lot cbout the lundcnnentcls ol sclesmcnrship," writes cn old lumber lriend oI mine lrom Kcnscs City, "but there is one big element I hcrve never seen you discuss, and thct is luck-the'breqks ol the ginne.' Don't you believe chance plcrys cn importcrnt pcrrt in selling, cs well cs in all living?"

Now TIIERE is cr subiect thqt merits cr lot ol tcrlk. I hcve cr collection ol Bibliccrl quotctions, mcrde lrom my own recding, cnd in thct collection HERE is a Bible selection thcrt hcs intrigued me from the time I lirst recd it. It is lrom Ecclesicstes. Ecclesicrstes, be it known to crll, is cr book lrom the Old Testcment that scys little of religion" but much ol homely philosophy, and here is the sentence thct ccrtches my thought especiclly in cmswer to the question cbove:

"I retunred cmd scrw under the sun thct the race is not to ihe swilt, nor the bcrttle to the strong, neither yet brecd to the wise, nor yet riches to men ol understcmding, nor yet lcvor to rren of skill; but TIME cnd CHANCE hcppeneth to them cll."

Thifseemg to indiccte the beliel ol the Bibliccl writer thct "time cnd chcrnce," (which I interpret to meqn luck, the li-e element, cnd the "brecks oI the gcune"), crre more importcurt thcn speed, strength, wisdom,. understcmding, crnd skill fur the bcttle ol lile. Inot indorsing thcrt opinion, but simply offering it lor whcrt it is worth to those who like to tqcHe interesting thinking problems.

How olten hcve you hecrrd one smcrt mcrn crnolher: "I would rcther hcve his luck thcm cr Governrnent permit to isn't ioking. He mecrns it. .I hcrve known cr lot oI slncnt men in my lile. theoutstcrnding man I ever knew in his pcrrthat one mcm got the brecks csrd the other ticulqr line of effort, believed v did not.

Government Agencies to Push Home Building in Rural Communities

Washington, D. C., June l5.-Plans were announced by M. L. Wilson, Director of the Extension Service in the Department of Agriculture and Chairman of the Central Housing Committee on rural housing for a renewed national program of education relative to how existing facilities of governmental financing agencies may be used to promote the building of low-cost ho communities and for farm building repairs ments. Important interests in the building flndustry are cooperating with this program, Mr. Wilson

Under this program an effort will be made fo get spread understanding of the methods of opbrari6F of the existing housing agencies, so that those who are anticipating building new low-cost homes in small towns and rural areas and on farms r,vill more readily understand how to use existing agencies in this field. The federal agencies, including the Farm Credit Administration. Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Federal Housing Administration, Federal National Mortgage Association, and the R.F.C. Mortgage Company, are anxious that their service may be used in small town and rural areas. Many types of needed lowcost village homes; farnr subsistence homes, farm houses and productive farm buildings can be financed through the existing agencies in these localities or adjacent thereto.

Cooperating with this joint governmental program, the building industry has set up the National Homes Foundation, representing manufacturers, local building material dealers and trade associations in the building 4 fields. This Foundation. membersh s open to all elements of the buildinei interested in the rural building uarters in Washington, D. C., through i ical and educational committees. is recomtechniques to improve building design and conuction and at the same time make for lower costs. Through this prograrn the building industries interested in the farm and rural markets are ready with a cooperative merchandising, educational and promotional program to stimulate building and modernization and repair activity in these areas.

Service to the home building field under this program will be through existing facilities in the rural communities and centered around the local financial institutions and servicd institutions, such as the retail lumber and supply dealers and local building mechanics and contractors. It is expected, Mr. Wilson states, that wide-spread additional employment and the sound investment of private funds for needed homes and farm building improvements will result from this program.

New home builders and folks interested in remodeling can see the latest designs, ideas and new materials which add so much to the beauty and livability of the home, in actual use as the finished product at The Home Builders Store in Carlsbad, California, rvhere they have just completed a carefully planned program of modernization ol their store and offices.

The plywood wall coverings displayed show how the application of modern designs and treatments can transform an ordinary building material like plywood into a product of great beauty and utility.

The walls of the office are made of stock four-foot sheets of quarter-inch Douglas Fir plywood, grooved and laid out to their own design with their own tools, and finished in the most modern "Blond Effect" which gives a subdued textured grain. The feeling of soft warmth which plyrvood treated in this manner gives, makes it an ideal wall material for living rooms, dens and libraries.

In an adjoining office are displayed a number of very attractive and interesting plywood walls and ceiling materials. Stock plywood, used in sixteen-inch strips or planks with edges beveled to form a very small vee at the joint, is used on one wall and finished in a dark modern effect. Baskotweave, a very interesting plywood material, is shown as a wainscot on another wall; it is an embossed woodboard of real merit and beauty. Kraftwood, an unusual plywood, is used o,n other lvalls, and shows the random plank pattern, finished in two colors. The ceiling appears to be a fine enameled surface, but it, too, is made of stock plywood, the large sheets being carefully fitted together and glued into place, forming a single plywood sheet.

"Artply," still another plywood, with a pattern of inlaid strips which hide all joints, is displayed on the wall as one

enters the office, and on the ceiling of the little display room in the store you see "Artply" in a pattern 16 inches square.

Not a batten or strip of any kind has been used in the offices.

In addition to these plywood walls and ceilings, they carry plywood of many kinds for many purposes. One which is attracting much attention is the special waterproof plyrvood which will not separate even when soaked in water for months.

Celotex plank is shown, applied both vertically and horizontally, in natural tapestry, brown ripple, light green, light tan and ivory finishes. The entire ceiling of the store is laid with sl-inch Celotex key-joint units, applied in an attractive design.

The soft beauty of genuine black rvalnut may be seen on the curved wall fixture as you enter the office. This material is black walnut veneer on a cane fibre back. coming to the home in the form of a plank.

Celotex hardboards are used effectively in streamlining the two curved fixtures in the store, one wall of the little bathroom, top of the three steamlined fixtures in the store and ofifice, and the Century of Progress flooring in the bathroom.

Sheetrock, the modern plasterboard with the recessed edge and the Perf-a-Tape hidden joint system, is demonstrated on the ceiling and right hand wall of the model display bath room.

Knotty Pine cabin lining forms the panels on the front of the main counter. It comes in two patterns, beaded and vee jointed. These patterns are shown separately and together, both vertically and horizontally.

Knotty Pine is shown in the I x 12 moulded edge, with

natural shellac finish on the rvall inside the Display Cottage.

The fine texture of interior plaster at its very best ma1' be seen on the ceiling of the office. There you may see a really beautiful piece of work.

To give assistance to the liorne builder, they display many floor materials, including the following: in the east show window, panels of white oak in three grades; in the west show window, panels of red oak in three grades; on the floor of the store, one-inch hard maple; on the floor of the front office, select plain red oak, with a finish of white shellac and waxed; on the floor of the rear office, vertical grain fir flooring with finish of shellac and waxed; Century-of-Progress flooring in the display bathroom; Bruce block flooring, factory finished, laid in basket pattern in the display cottage; bnd on the little display porch are lZ-inch Roman pavers laid in the popular basket pattern.

On the center gable of the display cottage are Clear Vertical Grain Red Cedar shingles laid 5 inches to the weather on one side and the same with every fourth course doubled on the other side.

Asphalt shingles in several patterns are also .shown. On the roof over the bath are Universal shingles in larvn green color; on the porch the nerv thick-tapered butt in the latest Aluminum surface.

A number of the fopular exterior rvall siding materials are displayed. Wide sidings, such as the lGinch Knotty Pine rustic siding, is shown on the front of the display cottage, with knots completely hidden by the paint, and the mitered corners carry the horizontal lines around the building.

Two Redwood combination sidings are displayed, which have been designed to appear as a single wide board to meet the styling of the day. One of them is on the back wall of the little porch, painted white, and the other is on one wall of the cottage, finished natural.

Tlvo patterns in Red Cedar siding may be seen on the large swinging panel in the cottage. One of them shows the shingles laid in varied courses, and the other meets the present day requirement of wide sidings by doublecoursing a row of shingles to lay ten or eleven inches to

the weather. In this instance the upper layer is laid a half inch below the under layer to give a darker shadow line and form a drip to the siding.

One wall of the display cottage demonstrates the studand-board single wall construcion, with detailed 2 x 4 studding and 1 x 12 Knotty Pine giving the effect of board and battens. Here also is installed a swing-out casement sash operated through the inside screen. The simple detailed window frame is typical for single wall house construction.

An ideal material for open ceilings and porch ceilings is the 8-inch vee joint shiplap which is shown on the ceiling of the little porch. This material may also be used effectively in the wider widths as a siding, in which case the corners are mitered to carry the design entirely around the house.

Several front doors of the latest designs are displayed and a catalogue with colored illustrations is a great help in making selections. Modern interior door and window casings and trim are shown throughout the store and offices and displayed in color in the sample mouldings arranged at one end of the counter.

A disappearing door, here in actual use, solves the problem in the new home where a swinging door is in the way, no matter which way it swings; it is installed in a wall of ordinary thickness and works like a charm.

Modern medicine cabinets, ironing boards, corner cabinets, shoe racks, and other conveniences for the home are on display.

Six scale models of picket fences are shown in the ftont windows in the following styles: Carlsbad special, combination, odd and even, single cut, flat top, and double cut.

To further help the builder and remodeler, they have selected many clippings and pictures of homes, exteriors, kitchens, out-door living rooms, porches and sunrooms. which have been arranged and mounted in large plywood scrapbooks. And for color schemes, they have the ,,Age of Color Book" and "Color Selector."

The company has issued an 8-page folder which gives a

THE HYMN OF' HATE

And this I hate-not men, nor flag nor race, But only War with its wild, grinning face. God strike it tiil its eyes be blind as night, And all its members tremble with affright ! Oh, let it hear in its death agony

The wail of mothers for their best-loved ones, And on its head

Descend the venomed curses of its sons

Who followed her, deluded, where its guns Had dyed the daisies red.

All these I hate-war and its panoply' The lie that hides its ghastly mockery, That makes its glories out of women's tears, The toil of peasants through the burdened years, The legacy of long disease that preys On bone and body in the after-days. God's curses pour, Until it shrivel with its votaries And die away in its own fiery seas, That nevermore Its dreadful call of murder may be heard; A thing accursed in very deed and word From blood-drenched shore to shore!

-Joseph Dana

' JONATHAN SWIFT'S EPITAPH

(Inscribed over his tomb in St. Patrick's Cathedral, in Dublin.)

"Flere lies the body of Jonathan Swift, Dean of this Cathedral, where fierce indignation can no longer rend his heart. Go ! Wayfarer, and imitate if thou canst, one who, as far as in him lay, was an eainest champion of liberty." (Dated Oct. 19, L745.)

And then, there was fhe man who walked into a tailor shop with a suit of clothes on his arm. "Shall I press it?" the tailor asked. The man said, "No, just shine the coat to match the pants."

NOT NEEDED BUT NEEDLED

Doctor: What you need is an electric bath.

Patient: Nothin' doin', doc; I had an uncle drown that way at Sing Sing.

NO T-EUCHING MATTER

A man who can draw a placid breath

With his garters coming down.

A PLACE FOR YOU

HARDLY DEEP ENOUGH

"Mirandy," said the colored preacher, as he led her toward the brook for baptism, "I'se gwine to lead you out heah in dis stream an' wash all youh sins away."

"Lawsy, Pahson," giggled the erstwhile frolicsome damsel. "in dat li'l ole shallow creek?"

Dealers in Lumber and Building Materials Advised on Coverage of Fair Labor Standards Act

Status of employees engaged in the distribution of lumber and building materials under the Fair Labor Standards Act was further clarified when the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Department of Labor, made public a letter dealing with this subject, which had been prepared by the office of the General Counsel. The letter explains the scope of the retail establishment exemption as it applies to dealers in lumber and building materials, and points out that a retail lumber establishment does not include a business which sells materials for purposes of resale in any form, or for other business and industrial uses. The letter'follows in part:

"For purposes of enforcement it is our position fhat any establishment which is engaged exclusively in distribution of merchandise may be considered. a retail establishment if 5O per cent or more of the dollar value of its total sales are retail sales. Accordingly, any establishment engaged exclusively in the distribution of lumber and building materials would be considered a retail establishment if 5O per cent or more of the dollar value of total sales are retail sales.

"A retail sale in our opinion is a sale of goods in small quantities to individuals for private use and not for business or industrial purposes. Thus a sale of lumber and building materials to a private individual for the construction, maintenance and repair of a private home or garage

(or appurtenant structure such as a fence or rvalk) would be a retail sale. Such sales of course are made in relatively small quantities. It is our opinion that the courts rvould

sold for purposes of and industrial uses.

in any form or for other business divison, therefore, will not regard the following of sales as retail sales:

to industrial concerns which use the materials for the fabrication of furniture, boxes, crates, automobiles, toys, ships, etc.

"(3) Sales to building contractors or other business concerns for the construction, maintenance, and repair of buildings, railroads, highways, bridges and other structures, except where the sale is made to a contractor who purchases materials on behalf of an individual private consumer. A sale to a contractor will be considered to be a sale 'on behalf of an individual private consumer' where the materials are purchased for the construction, maintenance of repair of a single private dwelling (garage or fence, etc.) ordered by the individual homeowner. For example, an individual property owner may have a contractor build a house for private use. The sale of materials to the contractor for this purpose will

be considered as a transaction essentially similar to the homeowner and, accordingly, it will be classified as a retail sale.

"(4) $ales to federal, state or municipal governments.

"It should be noted that in the language of the statute the exemption applied to employees of retail 'establishments.' What constitutes the establishment depends upon the facts in each particular case. If a firm operates two or more separate establishments, the sales of each establishment must be considered separately in determining whether such establishment may properly be considered a 'retail establishment.' The total sales of the enterprise as a whole will not determine the retail or non-retail character of separate establishments within the organization. Thus, for example, a company may operate two separate lumber yards in different parts of the city. Each lumber yard would be considered as a separate establishment for purposes of the exemption. If one lumber yard made more than 50 per cent of its total dollar volume of sales at wholesale such lumber yard would not be a 'retail' establishrnent for purposes of the exemption even though the combined dollar volume of the sales of both lumber yards was 50 per cent at retail. Conversely, if one lumber yard sold morc than 50 per cent at retail, it would not cease to be a retail establishment merely because the combined dollar volume of sales of both lumber yards was more than 5O per cent at wholesale.

"In some cases it may be difficult to determine whether wholesale selling or manufacturing takes place in a separate establishment. Generally, if the wholesale or manltfacturing branch of the business is distinct and separate from the retail branch-as where a physically separate portion of the premises is devoted to such activities-such wholesale or manufacturing branch taken alone would ordinarily be considered as a separate establishment and the exemption would not apply to employees of such branch.

"It is obvious that an establishment engaged in manrrfacturing operations cannot be regarded as a retail establishment, even though its sales are made to individuals for private consumption. Thus, a lumber yard engaged in constructing sashes and doors or millwork is not a retail establishment notwithstanding the fact that more than 5O' per cent of its sales may be made to private homeowners. Of course, if the firm has a separate retail outlet, this outlet may be a separate establishment for purposes of the exemption."

A Fireplace That Vill Help Builders and Dealers Sell Homes

The kind of lumber you put into a building undoubtedly helps to sell it. But more important as a sales promoter is the general design, the equipment, and nowadays particularly, the new and unusual features that bring convenience and comfort and attractiveness to the home owner.

An auto sells today, because it embraces this or that new idea-new gearshift, sealed-beam headlights, controlled ventilation-each of these has a separate, special influence in making a decision for the purchaser. He doesn't just buy an auto.

Neither does the prospect just buy a house. It must be something more than four walls and a roof and a floor and a ceiling. Every house has these. Something addi-

tional must be offered, something a little unusual, something newer and different, something practical and useful, and at the same time eye-appealing.

Can you think of anything that will sell a prospect more readily on home ownership than a fireplace like one of those shown in the accompanying photos, Can't you picture the man---or woman-saying, as they view them, "IIow I'd love to have a room like that in my new home." Without question they have an irresistible appeal. And it is this factor that lumbermen in the business of. sellingl 7 homes can use more effectively in their sales program. U

pages containing views of fireplaces, all different, each distinctivedesigns for large homes and for small homes. Superior Fireplaces have a number of outstanding advantages, among these being listed; easy to build; long years of service; suitable for any room; deliver more heat and reduce heating costs and cost but little more than the old fashioned fireplace.

The booklet contains charts and cross sectional views showing how these fireplaces are constructed, arrangement of heating chambers, placing of air intake and outlets, resulting in equal distribution of warm currents-and gives a world of other information on the use and value and installation.

There is a market not only in connection with new construction, but old fireplaces in existing homes can be remodeled so that one of these modern fireplaces can be installed. Which brings the dealer an additional product to sell with any remodeling job he takes on. The Superior Fireplace booklet can be obtained by writing to the company at the above address. It will be a valuable service factor in any dealer's office and display room.
