Special Badge for U. S. Forest Guards

Forest guards and like temporary employees of the C-alifornia Region, United States Forest Service, will hereafter wear a sp-ecial nickel badge bearing a pine tree, the words "Forest Guard" and the letters U.S.F.S., states Regional Forester S. B. Show of the San Francisco headquarters. This will enable the public, visiting the national forests for business or recreation, to distinguish the regular offi'cers of the Federal Forest Service from the special summertime force of guards, lookouts, fire patrolmen and men in charge of Forest Service public camp grounds.

The well known bronze shield-shaped U. S. pine tree badge of the Forest Service has been in use for over 25 yearl and has become the distinguishing mark of the U. S. forest rangers in the 150 national forests from Maine to California and Florida to Alaska. It is also worn by all year-long Forest Service officers employed in special lines of work, by forest supervisors and members of their fotce, and regional foresters and their headquarters staff.

Lumber For Steel Shipbuilding A Famous Opera Stage

Washington, D. C., June 2S.-Considerable quantities of lumber are used in ships and shipyards-although steel is the major material of all large ships-for decking, trim, large parts of superstructure and insulation, staging, shoring, templates, patterns, and launching ways.

An analysis made by the National Council of ,American Shipbuilders shows that about 3.6 per cent of the entire cost of a vessel is expended for the lumber used. This 3.6 per cent represents a total expenditure of $2,600,000 in American shipyards, for there is every reason to believe that we will continue to have a normal tonnage of 7,800,000 gross tons of deep-sea shipping under the American flag. Figuring the average life of a ship at 20 years, this means a replacement program of approximately 50 large vessels annually of a money value of $75,000,000 a.year.

The National Council survey shows an annual consumption of lumber with monev lrai,r.s as follows:

Oak White pine

Ash

Teak

Maple Mahogany .....;

Birch

Plywood

New York, N, Y., June 25.-The Metropolitan Opera House stage, across lvhose boards have trod the world,s most celebrated in song and drama, reveals a construction history comparable in interest with its surroundings.

The first stage, built in 1883, was destroyed by fire in 1894, after 11 years of continuous service. A second, of edge-grain y_ellow piae, lfu inches thick, replaced it and served jor 22 years. The present stage, laid in 1916, has seen 14 years of continu,oui daily use-not only the ordinary w'ear and tear of floors under usual conditions. but also the shock and abrasion of heavy settings and itaee properties incident to the presentation of opeias.

The floor is built up of removable panels and solidlv nailed sections, with a latio of approximately eight or ten strips of white pine to one strip-of yellow ptr..- This arrangement was explained by the fact that ii 19L6, because of ,war conditions, difficulty' r,r'as experienced in purchasine yellow pine, although white pine was readily available. A search revealed a considerabte quantity of vellow oine stored away and thoroughly dried out. This wis unifoimlv dispersed among the many panels and floor sections t'o stiffen the w'hite pine.

Frank H. Alcott of the New York office of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, in makine his reoort oJ the investigation, says: "I was thoroughty- amazef at the vast amount of lumber and timber riori< under this 9ta.gc. .{ gte"t portion of the main stage center is a sink, built with removable panels so that dropl and settinss mav be lowered one or two floors below. - The floor ifim.Jiately under the stage is only ?/s-inch rough white and yel. low pine boards. Some of the original timbers and dinien_ sion material and some of the oiiginal steel beams lived through lhe !1e of 1894- and.are still in place, giving good service after 47 years of use."
