Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

No one has to sell me on the things that advertising and publicity can do; the miracles they perform. I'm working that side of the street myself. But now and again something happens that staggers even my believing soul. Take the case of Joe Louis, the prize-fighter, as an example.

The sports writers t lnJrriton performed a miracle. They took an ordinary colored boy and by reason of the printed word alone, they created the most formidable giant the world has lrnown since Samson pushed over the pillars in the temple. I am satisfied Joe Louis must have been the thought behind that well-worn popular song-"I'm building up for an awful let-down."

**,i

They told us that he carried six months in the hospital in one hand, sudden death in the other, and a brief epitaph in his blasting "one-two." No one could hit him, no one could hurt him, and he just toyed with the mastodons of the ringed circle until he got the signal from his trainer, at which moment he rocked the unfortunate into dreamland, and went on his way rejoicing. Nothing like it in the shape of a build-up has ever boen done since tho genus strrort writer was born. There was no disagreement. It was utterly unanimous, the only competition being in the extravagance of their estimates of the Detroit darky.

*,f:8

Then one day a stolid, stout-hearted German decided it wasn't so. lle didn't believe in Santa Claus or in super-men. He wasn't a mighty fighter, nor a mighty clouter, even in his youthful fighting days; and those days are years back. But he always had intelligence, and he never fed from a shadow, as some of our American so-called fighters have done in the past year. He just had a heart and a head and a right fist. And in a few minutes-almost before the first round was over as a matter of fact-he had exploded the super-man theory. He didn't lick a wondrous fighter. He just knocked down a straw man that had been built of words.

I'll say for most of the lt*-rnlr,, writers that they have taken their licking well; for it was THEIR licking more than Louis' and don't doubt it. Most of them have eaten humble pie in their own columns. And I feel certain that all of them have made to themselves deep and definite promises that they will do no more giant building. publicity made the great Joe Louis. A courageous man exploded the fallacy. That was all.

Henry Ford recentr, nrlaiJ,"J that there witt be greater progress along scientific lines in the next fifty years in this

world, than there has been in the past one thousand. I believe it. And I believe that the remark may be true about lumber. This column July first showed some of the mighty possibilities that arise when the man of science steps in.

Long ago that great

.nlo],ir*t"y

said: "The man of science simply uses with scrupulous exactness the methods which we all habitually and at every moment use carelessly; and the man of business must as much avail himself of the scientific method, must be as truly a man of science as the chemist, the physicist, or the biologist." That's been the weakness of wood. Until recently we have only used the huckle-buckle and the happenstance method of making Progress.

And Francis Bacon, -rl*J.nlking capacity is and will always be a by-word among thinking people, described the attitude of the research man as: "The desire to seek, the patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to reconsider, carefulness to dispose and set in order, and hating every kind of imposture.', From such an attitude must come truth.

**>1.

We hear a lot about money and the science of money lately, but personally I'm inclined to agree with the embryo financier who said-on that very entertaining and interesting subject; "Speaking of money, infated or defated, consecrated or cremated, dated or undated, it's all the same to me; I'LL TAKE IT!"

Speaking of money, O""r an" signs I read I gather that prosperity-so far as the lumber trade press is concernedis still around that fabled corner we have heard so much of. If there are any lumber journals making money it fails to show in their advertising columns; and that's the only place I know of where income can show on a lumber journal. Circulation is, as it has always been and always will be, a liability.

The building material t;Jt;"s not started advertising on any reassuring scale, and that goes for all its departments, lumber, roofing, paints, wall boards, flooring, cement, etc. Until they do,lumber journals will continue on a rather rigid diet.

There are really ,o." oi*Jou*ru""ons why the buitding material folks should get going with their advertising. To

begin with, their products need advertising to keep up with the many other things that fight for the consumer dollar. And in the final analysis advertising is a legitimate expense and cuts down your income tax; and the income tax is going to get most of what you make from now on, anyway. Every day specific cases are brought to my attention to demonstrate that fact. The money you lost through the lean years is gone; you can't use what you make in the future to replace it, because the old taxes will have their claws on that. And taxes haven't really started yet, even with the new tax law. The bill for the billions is yet to come'

'k )t 't(

I haven't attempted to check exactly on the income of the various lumber journals as compared with what it used to be, but I would say, just as an off-hand conclusion and based on my own experience with what used to be two of the best patronized lumber journals anywhere, that any lumber journal that has 25 per cent of what it formerly called a normal income, is doing mighty well.

Speaking for all lumber;;J I would say that through the long lean years they have worked hard, struggled manfully, and done their best to help the lurriber industry hold

its chin up during times when chin-upping was well-nigh impossible. They have a fair right to expect a fair share when prosperity comes back to the building industry. In this I believe the building mateiial folks will agree with me. ***

And speaking of states' rights reminds me that we have a brand new author in our midst. Yes sir, Henry Wallace, doughty Secretary of Agriculture, from good old Ioway' mind you, has writ and published himself a book that he calls-"Whose Constitution?"-the fixed purpose of which is to throw rocks at those who insist on states'rights. In this book he lists among the undesirables who defend states' rights "the huge corporations, the Republican Party, New England, the Liberty League, and most of the newspapers of the country," and he adds to that list "at least part of the time the Supreme Court." The book calls for the "establishment of a COOPERATM COMMONWEALTH"' (All Russian newspapers please copy.)

on the last day of anu*r.Jrra**"rrion of Congress there was passed and the President has signed the Walsh-Healy Bill. Few people knevr its contents then, but they are getting plenty of reading now. The law applies NRA rules to all those who would sell the Government of the United

The Redwood industry, with its 10,000 employes, $12,OOO,@0 annual Payroll and huge tax payments, is one ol Calif orna's grcatest industries.

The use of California Redwood as a building material began with thc earliest settlcrs, and structur€t built of this material a century ago ar€ in cxcellent condi' tion today.

States ten or more thousand dollars worth of goods or materials. A forty hour work week; the local prevailing \ilages; and rules and regulations which the Department of Labor shall prescribe, are compulsory to those firms who would sell the Government.

The Secretary of Labor is given power to enter factories, investigate conditions, subpoena witnesses and force them to produce papers, penalize violators of the law, withhold contract money for violations, etc. She can fix minimum wages according to local conditions, and can suspend her own rules and wage schedules "lrrhen justice and the public interest will be served thereby."

Lumber shipping toil." Jr .1" l""rr" Coast, who had experience with Madame Perkins in their labor troubles last year, will realize that-with this new law for a shilalah -our Secretary of Labor is really going to start enjoying herself.

The lumber business ,*"*U, has been disappointingly slack through the month of June. The demand has fallen below expectations, and price cutting has been general, Once a lumberman always a lumberman. As in days of yore I have watched again while men cut prices to sell stufi they didn't have-or at least had little of.

I am hoping that the bonus money, now in full and general circulation, will pull up the present slack. That it is going to do a world of building and repairing, f have not the slightest doubt. And we are needing it. Right at a time when I thought the lumber demand would be swinging high, it sagged. +,F*

Building costs are having considerable to do with it. The cost of building is up. Materials have gone up some, but labor took the lead, and got most of the benefit. Lumber usually lags. It has done it again. Right now lumber needs a determined drive, a display of initiative, a campaign of selling, from one end of this land to the other. ft needs a

whirlwind campaign in every hamlet, town, and city, to interest people in building and improving.

r hear on every rrarra tri"t L".n.r*"rrt of the bonus has created a marvelous market for second-hand cars. Some of the things I hear may be exaggerated, but there's bound to be some fire where there is so much smoke. Which means that the lumber and building folks have got to hit the ball double hard right now if they are going to get any substantial benefit from the bonus cash wave.

,F:F*

Sell your soldier friends, who are wondering what best to do with their money, on the idea of building. If not a home, then an addition, an improvement, a refinement for their present home. You can think of plenty of them. Work your territory for the next few weeks with a fine tooth comb. *t*

Sell a new floor, a new roof, a new closet, a new built-in something for the kitchen or bed-room, a new lining for the closet, a new fix-up for the attic.

What this countr, ,r""1" :rr; ".* is a buirdins campaign. With the lumber folks it must be an individual effort. But if every lumbErman, everywhere, marshals his forces TODAY and goes into the highways and byways to see who NEEDS his services and materials, things are going to quit sagging. Waiting won't do it.

ASSOCIATION HEAD IN LOS ANGELES

Carl Bahr, president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, recently spent a few days visiting Redwood mills in Humboldt County.

Mr. Bahr is paying a visit this week to the Association's Los Angeles office.

An interesting early application of the "built-up" principle of constructing doors was given by W. M. MacArthur, vice-president, Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation. Mr. MacArthur stated that in the fifth century, a door made from a single board or section of wood was found unable to resist the effects of moisture. In countries having a damp climate, the inconvenien,ce of warped doors was a problem. Necessity being the mother of invention, the pieced or builtup door u'as developed. trt is described as being made from several sections of wood. These might be a series of vertical planks held together by dowels, or horizontal braces; another method was to form a framervork of stiles and rails. and place a thinner panel between them, this panel being held in place by grooves or mouldings.

It is interesting to observe, Mr. MacArthur said, that even at this early date, a crude application of the Laminex principle was developed, as lvell as the use of dowels, which are an important part in the construction of a door today. In Laminex and Woco lGPoint Doors, s,cientifi,c methods of door construction are used to provide exceptional resistance to the same problem of dampness that confronted the home owners of the early centuries. The Laminex principle, of soundly engineered design, is based upon the fact that stresses caused by the natural shrinkage of wood must be balanced. Laminex stiles and rails are built up of separate ,core blocks with the grain so crossed that expansion and contraction are neutralized.

What Advertising Has Done for Adenoids and Tonsils

Bv Jack Dionne

Ife learn more every day of the wonderg that advertising and publicity have accomplished for various things; for automobiles, fot underwear, for radioo, Victrolas, dentifrices, Sunkist orenges, etc., etc.r etc. Many of us are inclined to wonder what particular thing, in this advertising age, has profited most by the power of advertising. I would like to offer a suggestion.

f vote for adenoids. Adenoids, with tonsils on the side.

It was only a generation ago when the mind of man ran not to tonsils and adenoids. From the beginning of the era of mankind almost to the present decade men were born, lived, and finally died without knowing there were such things.

But we came to know through the propaganda that has been so fearfully and wonderfully distributed, that removal of these encumbrances is absolutely essential to the well-being of the chil&en of the pr€sent generatiotrl that unless their throets be properly attended to they will not reach the fullest develo,pment of their bodies, or of their mentalities.

And to furnish relief from threatened puerility and inanity, clipping bureaus for tonsils and adenoids were established throughout this land, that reap a splendid harvest of both----and dollars besides. It has come to a point now that when you meet a man on the street with his child by the hand he is either going to take him to a movie, or is going to have his throat operated on. One of the two.

;And while f rejoice at this great blessing and saving grace tfiat science has brought to us in such copious quantities in this generation, as a thinking man f cannot but look back over the past with feelings of sadness and regret, for those who have lived and gone, without having their throats propedy tended to.

Sometimes I think with gloomy sadness, what mighty men the past ages might have known, what wondrous things they might have done, what splendid examples they might have given us, had science and the knowledge of adenoids and tonsils o'nly reached them in time.

\Zhat a humanitarian Abraham Lincoln might have become, had he had his adenoids removed, allowing him untrammeled development.

Vhat a patriot George Vashingto,tr could have been, had his throat been propedy trimmed in his youth.

Vhat a wondrous document the Declaration of Independence could have been, had it been written by men whose physical and mental development had been unrestricted by those vicious growths.

Think of what music Mozart might have given us; what a soldier Napoleon might have been; how strong Samson could have grorm; how wise Solomotr might have become; to what a ripe old age Methuselah might have lived had they had their adenoids and tonsils removed like OUR children.

rVhy-if Pharaoh's daughter had had in her household a modern throat specialist, who knows but what Moses might have handed down to us fifteen or twetrtyr instead of a paltry TEN COMMANDMENTS.

But no! ft was NOT to be. Science came too late to save them; to deliver them from their bondage. They had to live and die, just as God made them.

"Of all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are thesFfT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.'

Increased Intercoastal Lumber Rate Suspended UntilNov. 1

Seattle, Wash., June 30.-Suspension of the increased rate of $13.00 on West Coast lumber shipped by boat to the East Coast, published by the intercoastal carriers to become effective on July 1, has been granted by the United States Str,ipping Board Bureau on request of the General Maritime Committee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, according to word received from the Bureau by R. E. Seeley, committee chairman. The rate has been suspended until November 1, 1936. The present rate is $12.50 per thousand feet.

In the petition for suspension it was shown that during the first four months of 1935 a total of.94,69 feet of lumber moved by boat 'from British Columbia to the Atlantic Coast, while following the reduction in the import tariff on lumber from Canada the imports from British Columbia to the Atlantic Coast by water during the,comparable months of 1936 totaled 51,815,363 feet. Canadian lumber may move in ships of foreign registry on rates from $3.50 to $4.00 less than those applying to lumber by American mills, who are limited to use of ships carrying the American flag.

The petition pointed out also that American mills are at a competitive disadvantage with British Columbia mills be'cause of paying substantially higher wages.

Another point brought out was that the intercoastal rates on other commodities have not been in'creased during recent years to the extent that rates on lumber have been raised, which is unduly prejudicial to West Coast lttmber shippers.

Georye Gorman Adds to Staff

George W. Gorman, wholesale lumber dealer, San Francis'co, has recently secured the services of Marc de Bruin.

Mr. de Bruin for a number of years was ,connected with a San Fran,cis,co box manufacturing con,cern, and prior to his coming to San Francisco In 1929 had a wide experience in both hardwoods and softwoods abroad and in British Columbia mills.

lncreases Advertising Staff

In keeping with its program of consolidating its increased advertising effort, The Celotex Corporation through LeRoy Staunton, Advertising Manager, announces the addition of three men to its advertising staff.

M. B. Herbert, formerly with The Manz Corporation and the Bert L. Walker Company is now handling the advertising on interior finish and in the farm field.

E. T. Holmgren, formerly with the Portland Cement Association as editor of the "Concrete Builder" is in charge of the Publi,c Relations Department, now fun'ctioning under the Advertising Department. He 'ivill handle all publicity, edit "The Celotex News" and other periodicals.

W. J. McCauley, for seven years ,chief draftsman for DeGolyer & Stockton, Archite,cts, is taking charge of the Architectural Design Department, which now functions as a part of the Advertising Department.

Douglas Fir Plywood Association Seeking \(/est Coast 78 Cent Rate Ellective July 1 New Name For Plywood

Tacoma, Wash., July 2.-Realizing that the tern-r Wallboard is not sufficientlv spe'cific to be applied to Douglas fir plywood wallboard, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association of Tacoma, Washington, is offering a prize of $100.00 for the best suggestion in regard to a new trade name.

The material for which the new trade name is sought is an all-wood product made by gluing Douglas fir veneers together in large attractive panels 4 ft. x 8 ft. and larger. In the manufacture of these plywood wallboard panels, the veneers are selected and glued together so that one sicle of the panel will be suitable for any attractive wall finish and particularly adapted to painting.

Other important advantages of Douglas Fir Plywood wallboard are its rigidity, its ability to stay in place, its insulation value and the fact that it is made from solid wood.

The suggestions must be original and must not cover any trade-marked names or any names already in use for wallboard or similar products.

The contest ,closes at midnight Attgnst 1, 1936. The members of the Executive Committee of the Association will be the judges, assisted by such technical experts as may be called upon for the purpose.

The Interstate Commerce Commissipn has declined to suspend any part of the rate adjustment recently announced, and the new permanent rate on lumber shipped from the West Coast to territory east of Chicago to the Atlantic Coast is 78 cents. The new rate became effe'ctive July 1.

The new rate of 78 cents is 12 cents less than the 90 cent rate that prevailed until August 24, 1935, when rail carriers published a trial rate of 72 cents. 'Ihe rail rates from South' ern territory and other regions, whi'ch had been temporarily redu'ced, will be raised to their former level.

Another \(/ood " Come Back " in the Oil Industry

Seattle, July 8-An instance of the keenuess shown by the lumber industry in regaining former and opening new markets for wood is that of the revival of wood walking beams used for pumping petroleum from wells varying in depth from a few hundred to as much as 6,000 or 7,000 feet.

Until about ten years ago, when wells began to be driven deeper and deeper and the size of the wood walking beams became larger and larger, wood beams prevailed. Now-adays there are probably more steel than wood beams used.

Confronted with this situation, A C. Horner, West Coast representative of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association's Timber Engineering Company, assisted by T. C. Combs, engineer, worked out a new design for wood walking beams. The West Coast Wood Preserving Company of Seattle, furnished the lumber and fabricated and treated two of these beams fo,r experimental purposes. Tim' ber connectors were used in the nlaking of the beams. One of the beams was tested and retested until it was destroyed, at the University of Washington, and the other one was sold to the Standard Oil Company at California and is now in use on their Murphy-Coyote Well No. 25, near Los Angeles. This beam consists of four members 4 inches thick and 12 inches deep by 26leet long, and three members ('cover plates) 4 inches thick by 16 inches wide, of varying lengths. All the lumber is treated under pressure with coal tar creosote. Satisfactory as this beam is, it can be further improved. A beam so designed is soon to be tested at the University of Washington. Remarking that split-ring connectors are used between the laminations of the walking beams, Mr. Horner says: "It is the availability of these connectors whi,ch has made it possible for us to hold our present market and attempt to regain at least a part of the lost market."

Murphy-Coyote Well No. 25 is perhaps the world's outstanding oil well. It has been operated continuously since 1915 and in these 2l years has produced over 5,000,000 barrels of oil. For a long time it produ,ced 10,000 barrels a day.

Lumber Industry Payroll Nears $9,000,000 a Week

Washington, Jtly 8.-The June number of Labor Information Bulletin, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, in its study of 'current statistics, ruotes that the lumber industry employed 510,600 persons in April as ,compared with 500,500 in Mar,ch and 474,&0 in April, 1935. The lumber portion of the employed in all the reported durable goods groups, namely, 3,362,2ffi, is about one-sixth. The machinery group leads with 843,900 people; the iron and steel group is next with 677,80O. Then comes the transportation equipment'classification with 588,300. Next follows lumber rvith 510,6@; then the non-ferrous metals with 257,7@, and finally the stone, clay, bp,ick and glass group with 2OZ,LOO.

In respect of weekly payroll the lumber industry stands fourth in the durable goods group, with $8,576,000. The machinery group has a payroll of a little over $20,000,000 and the iron and steel payroll is slightly more than $18,000,000. The lumber payroll was $6,946,000 in 1935. In respect of hours of labor in the durable goods group, automobiles and sawmills industries were on a par with 41 hours a week. The blast furnaces and rolling mills, brick manufacturing and foundries and machine shops worked slightly longer hours. As for hourly earnings, they were 47c in the sawmills as.'compared with 44.5 in brick manufactur,ing, 59.5 in foundries and machine shops, 66.5 in blast furnaces and rolling mills, and 76.5 in automqbiles.

The index of employment for the lumber and allied proddu,cts industries in March, 1936, was 54.5-the bas,is for the index, that is 100, being made up from the three-year average of 1923-r%2t:-r-------------

San Joaquin Club's Annual Frolic

By Bernard B. Borber, Secretary,

The San Joaquin Lumbermen's Club held its Annual Frolic June 20 and 21, at the summer home of F. Dean Pres,cott, whi,ch is located some 50 miles E,ast of Fresno in the high Sierra. Mr. Prescott proved himself to be a very charming and untiring host to the members and guests of the Club. Everything was taken care of in the most excellent shape, even to the minutest detail.

There were approximately sixty persons present coming from all parts of California, and one guest, in order to be present, found it necessary to take a plane from El Paso, Texas. I refer to none other than E. L. Green. who also astonished those present by taking a dip in the beautiful swimming hole at 7:N a.m.

A buff,et lunch was served Saturday, beginning at I2:AO noon and continuing throughout the afternoon, as the guests arrived.

W. K. Kendrick shared the honors with A. W. Bernhauer both as to endurance and ability on the golf course, beginning sometime Saturday morning, and only stopping for a few hours sleep at night, continuing through until dark Sunday evening.

A wonderful dinner was served at 6:30 in the great outdoor dining room by caterer Jorgensen, and what a dinner ! Baked ham, Virginia style, with all the trimmings. After

Son Joaquin Lumbermen's Club

dinner, a few stories were told and short impromptu talks were made.

Breakfast was served at 8:30 Sunday morning. The guests amused themselves throughout the day by throwing darts, pitching horse shoes and playing quoits, and numerous other g'ames and amusements, which were provided by our host.

A delicious d,inner of broiled T-bone steak was served Sunday evening, after which a few more stories were told. After dinner, guests from the more distant points began to gather their belongings and hit down the sun-set trail, content in the fact that they themselves ancl each one present had enjoyed a most delightful week-end.

The following were present:

TEAM WORK

It musta been a right smart horse Who figgered out the proper course To keep his back shooed free of flies, But not forget his ears and eyes.

You see, a horse's bushy tail Is made to swish, just like a flail, But though he whips it hard and rough, The darn thing ain't half long enough.

Hung way back upon the south, It just can't reach his pestered mouth, And fappin' ears and blinkin' eyes Are plum no count for scarin' fies.

Then one horse to another said, "I'll flip my tail across your head, For then your tail will work for me, And free from flies we both will be."

So there you have cooperation, Used by horses since creation, For human problems small or great, Ifse horse sense and cooperate.

-Lester F. Zeigler.

REPETITION

"My experience tells me," said John Galsworthy, ,,that what you have said before you had better say again, if you want anybody to pay attention to it."

Either say it again, or depend on others to do it. Whistler

and Wilde were great friends. One day in a company Wilde uttered a delightful bon mot, that thrilled Whistler with admiration.

"That was a wonderful remark," he said to Wilde, "I wish I had said it."

"You undoubtedly will," remarked Wilde, dryly, "many times."

PROTECTION

A young lawyer from the North decided he wanted to locate in the South and practice law in Dixie.

So he wrote a friend in Alabama, asking what chance he thought there was in Birmingham for an honest young Republican lawyer. The friend replied:

"If you are really honest, you will have absolutely no competition in the law business. And if you are really a Republican, the game laws will protect you."

WHAT'S UNDER THE NAME

By Thomas Dreier

Once again Henry G. Chamberlain has come with information. He has tramped every trail, climbed every mountain, slept under the trees hundreds of times, told a million stories around camp fires, and many younger fellows wish they had half his stamina and energy.

Henry, in his wanderings about New England, visited some friends, the name of whose guest house puzzled him. Hungry for facts, like a Senate committee investigator, Henry began making inquiries. ft turned out that this guest house was once a shed with an outdoor toilet, and the whole building was called The Privy. When turned into a guest house, what more natural than to call it The privilege?

The interior of both the stores is finished in knotty pine and in natural color, while the ceilings are finished in Weatherwood insulation board. Many of the materials they sell are on display both in the store and in the large plate glass windows in front, and each of the stores is equipped with a Neon electric light sign that can be seen for a long distance at night. The exterior of all the buildings at both yards is painted in a cream ,color, and lvithin the yard enclosures plenty of parking space is provided for their customers.
