I watched them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy town, With a "ho-heave-ho" and a lusty yell, They swung a beam and the side wall fell.
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled, As the men you'd hire if you had to build?"
He gave a laugh and said, "No, indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two, What builders have taken a year to do."
And I thought to myself as I walked away"Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well-mad.e plan, Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am f a rivrecker who.walks the town, Content with the labor of tearing down?,'

Saw two terrible cases of bad casting recently. One was Clark Gable playrng "Parnell." The other was Jim Braddock trying to play the part of the Champion in the Braddock-Lewis fight pictures. Fact is, Irish Jim could have come closer to Irishman "Parnell" than Gable; and big, husky Gable might have done a better job of heavyweight fighting than Braddock. Braddock had gallant courage-and that's all. And, come to think of it, that's about all Gable had in playing "Parnell."
There are approxi-"t"; ,rr,o* retail gasoline stations in the United States today. It is probably the most overdone propositio,n in our national merchandising picture.

HOLC has foreclosed on about 40,000 properties to the tune of about $10O,000,000. Most of the censure that followed foreclosures was undeserved. HOLC bought up
about $3,300,000,000 worth of mortgages on homes and that money went into circulation when it was badly needed. The trouble was that during that time too many people got the idea that Uncle Sam was Santa Claus, and that just because he was payrng farmers NOT to rarse necessities he surely wouldn't expect a home owner to repay his mortgage loan. A large number of the foreclosures were against people who never intended to repay the government, and didn't try.

When it comes to salesmen par excellence, my vote goes to the guys who sell these stop and go signal lights to country towns and villages. Almost an5rwhere you go, nowadays, yotr suddenly come upon a red and green light set-up, at some intersection. There may be just a gasoline station and a garage there, but the red light holds you as long as it would on the heaviest traffic corner in New York. They're everywhere. The smallest villages have them. You will see intersections where there isn't a car an hour crossing the main highway, but the lights are there.
*rF,f
And you see small towns everywhere that, not only have the stop and go lights, but also have "No Left Turn" signs with them. You look in vain for the trafhc that induced such legal determinations. What these light signal salesmen say to the village fathers should be a thing sought out by salesmen everywhere, and seriously considered, for verily, those must be master sales talks. ***
Four million pounds of ham and bacon are now being imported every month into the United States to feed otrr bacon and ham appetites.

They've evidently been going strongly into the meat curing business in other countries since we started our peculiar type of econo'mics over here. And doing well, too.

The tide of the New Dealer stories rises rapidly. Fully half of all the alleged funny stories going the rounds are that way. Only twice before have I heard such a flood of stories. Years ago Henry Ford and his Model-T caught the nation's story-telling fancy. Later Mae West grabbed the spotlight. But at the rate the New Dealer stories are coming along they will outnumber both those others. *+*
The alphabets have not been overlooked in this story tide. One story is about the relief administrator who wired Washington for a thousand shovels for his relief crew. Washington allegedly wired back: "All out of shovels; tell them to lean on each 'other." .:F**
But none of the New Deal stories is funnier and few of them as tellable as the o,ne that went the rounds when NRA first showed up, about the darkey who got his first taste of governmental benevolbnce, and raised his praiseful voice in appreciation of this "Niggah Relief Association."

So much conjecture has arisen all over the land about Vice-President Garner leaving Washington in the thick of the Congressional melee, that I asked an old Texas friend of Garner's what he thought about it.

And speaking of neutrals, there seems to be some difference of opinion as to who is the most neutral in the present steel strike, Miss Perkins or John L. Lewis.
r was much disapnoir,.Ja ; ;"- highty publicized government expose of rich income tax evaders. It has proved the biggest "dud" in recent years. Nothing new, and nothing startling has been developed as this is written. The public soon went to sleep on the tiresome efiort to drag into unfavorable publicity situations, a few individuals. It has been a rather sad spectacle.
But in the midst of the;"":J cry about rich men dodg-
ing taxes, the United States government issued to the public in Jung eight hundred millions of dollars worth of brand-new and entirely TAX F'REE government bonds. By so doing we furnish more and more rich men a haven of refuge against the tax collectors, and create another bulge of nearly a billion dollars in our balloonistic national debt. Thus does our government wax wroth on one side of its mouth against loss of income taxes, and then promptly proceeds to remove nearly a billion dollars of American cash from the income tax rolls. Truly the well advertised "lunatic fringe" grows broader.

The right of an honest citizen to work and support his family, has been questioned in this nation for the first time during the last few weeks. The Governor of Pennsylvania was told that if he did not call out troops to prevent several thousand men (who lived there and worked there and had families to support) from trying to go back to their regular jobs, that tlere would be "butcheryrr 41d "massacre." And that official yielded, and called out the troops and stopped them. And there arose such a clamor from all parts of this land that he turned right about face very quickly. This nation must have spoken with tremendous force to bring such a change.

Most men will agree stoutly with William Green, President of the Arnerican Federation of Labor, when he said on July 8th: "The violation of agreements, the seizure of public propefty, violence, riots, and uprisings, can have no place in the social, €corsmis, and industrial life of America." Too bad that statement couldn't have been made weeks ago by the government of this co'untry. It would have saved great loss, and griet and bloodshed. ***
A mighty battle looms on the Washington horizon over the proposed hour and wage regulation legislation. It is what the Saturday Evening Post calls "madhouse legislation." "Nation's Business" says of it: "It brings about an industrial rwolution, the swing from written law to law by political appointees. Its counterpart is to be found in the nationalization of wages and hours as in Italy, Germany, and Russia." And of course the boys who want to see politics get a death grip on business, already contemplate further regulations that woulll inevitably come, such as regulating rates of profit, and certainly price fixing. It puts industry generally into the hands of a group of five men with life and death powers, and they responsible only to the President. Even General Hugh Johnso,n says that NRA was only a Little Red Riding Hood compared to this Big Bad Wolf.

Following the Redwood lumber industry in undertaking a progressive program of forest fire control in logging operations, the Redwood Split Products Association has adopted a similar policy to apply t'o all lands and operations of its members.
The split products industry is the second largest forest industry in the Redwood region, though it is more widely scattered than the major logging operations of the region. It engages many more individual operators, most of whom employ only a few workers. Unique is the fact that the trees are worked into their final products at the scene of falling, production including cross ties, posts, grape stakes, shakes and miscellaneous items.
"Split products operators are determined to cooperate in improving methods of cutting and slash disposal," declared Guy F. Cloney of Myers, president of the association. "While we have never been clear loggers, always leaving seed trees, we can do better work in leaving the region in better condition for forest regrowth."
The split products operators' fire policy, adopted at Scotia June 23, follows :
1. Merchantable trees will be felled with a minimum damage to immature trees.
2. Slabs, chips and other refuse will be piled clear of immature trees.
3. Slash and splitting refuse will be burned only after the first soaking fall rains or before the following May 15. No burning will be undertaken between May 15 and the fall rains unless it is deemed safe by state forestry officials and only then by special permit granted by the state forest ranger.
4. Slash and refuse fires will be kept small and under control. Upper levels on sloping ground will be burned first and no lower levels will be burned until the upper areas are burned off. Fire damage to immature trees will be avoided.
5. Each operator will maintain suitable fire-fighting tools.
6. No fire will be left unattended until extinguished.
7. Each member operator will instruct his men to be careful with fires at all times and to report fires immediatelv.
B. W. Bookstaver and J. S. Moore have organized the Bookstaver-Moore Lumber Company to handle the sales in California of Moore Mill & Lumber Company, of Bandon, Ore., manufacturers of Douglas Fir, Spruce and Port Orford Cedar, and to conduct a general wholesale lumber and piling business.
In conjunction with Bookstaver-l\foore Lumber Company, Carl R. Moore, secretary of Moore Mill & Lumber Company, will continue to handle the sale of the company's products in the East Bay area.
Offices of Bookstaver-Moore Lumber Company are in the lJnderwood Building, 525 Market Street, San Francisco. Telephone number is EXbrook 4745.
Mr. Bookstaver is well known to the trade having started in the lumber business in San Francisco in 1911, leaving in 1915 for Southern California, rvhere he engaged in the wholesale business until 1933. He then returned to San Francisco and was in the wholesale lumber business up to the time of the formation of the new company.
Mr. Moore is the owner of the Moore Steamship Company, which operates the steamers Bandon, Alvarado and Florence Olson coastwise, carrying the products of the Moore mill and others.
C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation has installed a Buckle Proof wood lath machine at its mill in Toledo, Ore., which has a capacity of two million lath a month. The Buckle Proof Lath Co. of Los Angeles has appointed them as their agents in the San Francisco market.
Seth L. Butler of San Francisco and Ralph P. Duncan, Merced, Northern California sales representatives of Dant & Russell, Inc., Portland, Ore., recently returned from a tw,o weeks' business trip to the firm's home office and mill connections.

ter, the chairman missed the preacher who usually said grace, so, noticing a hatchet-faced man wearing a dark suit and a black string tie in the crowd, he addressed himself to the other and asked if he wouldn't please say grace. The preacher-looking guy saw he was being addressed, cupped his ear in his hand and apparently tried hard to understand, and then answered:
"Sorry, pal; I can see you're talking to me, but I'm so damned deaf I can't tell what the hell you're saying." So the chairman let them start eating'without a preliminary prayer.
George W. Gorman, general manager, Trans-Pacific Lumber Co., Port Orford, Ore., and Marc de Bruin, San Francisco manager ,of Gorman Lumber Co., flew to Los Angeles and San Diego lrne D in George's new plane. They left Alameda at 8:00 a.m. and arrived at San Diego at 11:30 a.m., flying back to Los Angeles the same evening. They spent two days in Los Angeles calling on the trade with Arthur Tr.vohy of Twohy Lumber Co., representative of Gorman Lumber Co., and flew back to San Francisco on the evening of July 1, making an after dark flight and arriving at Alameda at 11 :30 p.m.
The new plane is a Stimson 4-place cabin job with a cruising speed of about 130 miles an hour.
George A. tUlett, general manager of Smith Wood-Products, In,c., Coquille,rOre., returned July 3 from a vacation trip to Honolulu. He was accompanied by Mrs. Ulett.
The Ford V-B truck with load shown above appears to be almost as long as the railroad boxcar in the background.

Washington, D. C., June 26.-According to a Forest Conservation summary issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, a "strong effort is now being made to interest land owners in the Great Plains Shelter Belt Area in a new plan of operation. The Forest Service may obtain seedlings and plant them and then turn them over to the farmer for all necessary care. Interested farmers will be able to get stock for planting by themselves. It is understood that the Department of Agriculture will ask that the $2,500,000, to be authorized by this Act, shall be included in the next defi,ciency bill."
Hope is expressed by foresters that a "reasonably large part of the appropriation will be devoted to extension forestry in the timbered states."
The same summary remarks that the President's bill based on the Brownlow report for reorganization of the government would withdraw from the President authority to transfer, abolish or establish the forest service, the United States Army Corps of Engineers an'd the independent agencies. It is pointed out, however, that the bill does not ,change the President's authority to withdraw financial support from these agen,cies and therefore render them impotent. The President's opponents, it is alleged. deride this device as an attempt "to fool the opponents of the President's plan."
Indicative of the ntense interest taken in reorganization plans, as far as they relate to the public domain, it is reported that 46 conservation groups have indicated their desire to appear before Congressional Committees in opposition to any legislation which would give the President authority to transfer agen,cies either to or from the Department of Interior and Agriculture.

About a month ago we sent you a letter giving actual statistics to show that the average retail lumber price in 1937 was less than a twenty year average. It can also be shown by actual statistics that most items that compose the lumberman's cost of doing business are higher in 1937 than a twenty year average. Taxes, including Federal and State in,come taxes, County and City property taxes and licenses, and Federal and State old age and unemployment taxes, are notably higher than a twenty year average, and the same is true of most other items of expense. One of the most important items of expense for lumbermen is the question of labor, and as a matter of interest we have compiled the price of labor over a period of twenty years.
The lumber industry does not have available any combined statistics relating to the retail trade, and we have been obliged therefore to average the wage statistics gathered from representative firms in the city of Los Angeles. The figures shown may be a little higher than rvould be the case in outlying districts or in other sections of the state, but we feel that they will show the trend through these years throughout the state. We have taken four classes of lumber yard labor: ordinary yard laborer or piler, loader or tally-
from January I, I9L7 to December 31, 1936 inclusive and have shown same on chart A. We have also taken the rate for each of the four classifications separately over the twenty-one year period for January and July of each year and have shown same on chart B.
The simple average of the hourly rvage rate for Laborer, Medium Truck Driver, Orderman, and Mill Machine Man combined for a period of trventy years from l9l7 to 1936 inclusive-$ .6375. Jan.
man, medium truck driver, and stickerman, matcherman or combination millman. We have taken the simple average rate for the four classifications combined for January and July of each year and then taken the average rate for the four classifications combined for the twenty year period
The above does not give the weighted average (rnan hours into total amount) as such statistics are not available, but the personnel of many yards in Calfiornia consists of the four wage earners listed above and the use of the simple average for them will, we think, shorv the labor trend.
The average hourly wage rate for a period of 20 years fuom I9l7 to 1936 inclusive for Laborers is $ .4696; f.or Medium Truck Driver $ .6126; for Orderman $ .6546; and for Mill Machine Man $ .8133.
Chart A and statistics show that the simple average of the four lumber yard wage earners in July, 1937, is 24 per cent higher than the twenty-year average lrom I9I7 to 1936, inclusive. The percentage of increase is, in fact, greater than this because the statistics do not reflect the extra pay for overtime now prevalent and many other such added labor expenses to which the employer is subjected. Lumbermen are not particularly concerned with the high price of labor; they want their employees to have the best working conditions and enjoy the highest possible wage, but they are particularly concerned with the fact that statistics will also prove that the gross margin of profit on the goods sold by lumbermen is not higher than a trventy-year average, whereas practically every item of their cost of doing business is considerably higher than a twenty-year averag'e.

If the-re is otre idea I like to h"tp otto it is that which says that a town is a refection of its citizenship, and that when they say that a town is ttdeadtt they are simply declaring that the buslness" men. of that town lack nothing but decent burial.
' ft is a thought that should be pounded into the heads of the business men werywhere. Fleuses, store btrildings, churches, theatres, etc., dontt make a tovyn. ftts the MEN of the town that ARE, the torun" If the town is dead, itts its business men that are in that condi. tion. Pound that thought eternally ho,tne, and the mercharrt will be slow to say, "My town is dead." FIe doesn't like to feel thai he is declaring himself ready for embalming.
Remember this. Vhen you see a big tock rolling ponderously up a steep hilt you know without going back of it to looft, that drere is some force behind drat rock that is pushing to beat the band; and when you see a town that is going forward steadily and surely, overcoming the obstacles that all growing communities have to encounter, riding down its little, old-time, good-enough-for-father-and-good-enough-fot-me, obstructionists, you will know without the qoestion of a doubt that good men and true are behind that movemeng and that they have their shoulders to the job.
There may be exceptions to that rule--and if sor they only serve to prove the rulebut the fact is that towns and cities are only what their citizens make them, and in such matters, ttCitizenstt mean t'businegs mer.tt
"You say, etThat town has great poosibilitiesrtt and it is all bosh. Human possibilities are man-made; nothing else. They say, ttYou cantt make a silk purse out of a sowts earrtt but the truth is that a skillful man can make a purse out of a sods ear that has a silk purse skinned to death. ft isn't so much what you have, as what you think yo'u have, AND V/HAT YOU MAKE OTHERS THINK YOU HAVE. Half a loaf to a wise man is worth more than a whole bakery to the man who does not realize the value of his possessions.
You say, ttMy town is deadr' and you immediately contribute liberally towards its burial ceremonies. Yout tovm is what you and your other townspeople think it it. Reverse your attitude. fnstead of thinking it's dead-think it's alive, and. you will immediately begin to contribute towards its enlivenment. Say ittc alive, and get others to sefng it. They will soon be believing it, and when they begin to believe it, it will become a fact.
Remember, IT ISN'T YOUR TOVN, IT'S YOU.
Make your town what you would like to see it.
I Wonder if the forest trees Are shaking in their roots, And if the solemn, great horned owl An eerie warning hoots; And if that bird could utter speech And voice his heart's desire, Would he command right hootingly, "Don't start a forest fire?"
I wonder if you and I rvill spend our vacations in the rustling shade of California forests. Will it be our privilege to revel in the beauty about us, listen to the carols of feathered songsters, watch the amusing antics of elfin woodland creatures, inhale the spicy odors of pine, fir and mountain laurel, and gain inspiration, ,courage and fortitude for the tasks and problems awaiting our return home ?
I Wonder if we will leave our peaceful sylvan retreats as we find them; or will some heedless act of ours reduce them to ghastly ruins, snuft out the lives of their happy denizens, perhaps destroy the homes of men and endanger the lives of those lvho will be called upon to combat and conquer the demon our hands have rvantonly set free.
The rules are simple; extinguish matches and cigarettes before tossing them aside, bank the camp fire and in every way possible heed the plea of the defenseless forests, "Help Prevent a Forest Fire."

Something new, unique, and to me very delightful, is the little 36 page and ,cover booklet on his fair state of Arizona, written by Chris Totten, of Phoenix, Secretary of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association. It came to me under personal cover, has been read thoroughly twice, and goes into my library of private and precious volumes as a reading thing of charm and interest
He calls it "The Land of Blue Sky, Sunshine, and Opportunity." The front 'cover, under the title, bears a pi'cture of a Ponderosa Pine forest in Arizona. The fronticepiece is a pen sketch of a man and a burro sleeping peacefully under the shade of a giant cactus. Then comes a two-page introdu'ctory overture of .Mr. Totten's telling why he decided to write the book.
The next page is dedicated to Arizona as "A place to live and educate your children," gives a list of leading Arizona colleges, and adds: "All accredited schools, second to none, and if your kids ,can't make the grade after graduating from one of these educational institutions, it's on account of the breed and not the opportunity."
He opens his book by quoting from a frequent Arizona visitor, J. B. Priestly, British novelist and essayist, as follows: "I felt a sudden warmth of gratitude for this strange new old country that had lent me all of its winter sun, its crystalline spaces, its amethyst mountains, its scarlet and blue birds,'its huge night of stars. I am too restless to settle down here or anywhere else, but I can always summon up patien,ce enough to write a book, and if I cannot be loyal, I can be grateful. Arizona possesses the best winter climate in the world, which is notoriously short of winter climates. The air is enchanting, quite unlike any I have known before, being crystal clear and faintly but persistently aromatic. It is this air strongly actinic, that gives Arizona landscape its enduring charm. Seen close at hand there is nothing very attractive about these hills, so prickll' with ca'ctus, or the savage rocky peaks behind them. The vast distan,ces do the trick. The air seems to act as a
Dionne
powerful stereoscopic lens. Everything far away, and you can see scores of miles, is magically moulded and colored. The mountains, solidly three dimensional ranges and peaks, are an exquisite blue in the day time and turn amethyst at sunset, with shades ever changing with the coming of nightfall, but everywhere toward the far horizon rise chunks of color unbelievably sumptuous, and the nights are evelr more spacious than the days. No lid of darkness is clappecl over you. The spaces are wider than ever, and are lit, night after night, with all the stars of the northern hemisphere, as precisely defined as the stars in a planetarium."
Then Mr. Totten "goes to town" on Arizona. Gives the reader a picture of the state from every angle, climate, health, 'crops, timber, beauty, resorts, scenery, economic possibilities, etc. He tells of the size of Arizona-as big as all the New England states combined-with only 600,000 population of whom ,{O to 50 thousand are Indians; of the great Pine forests of 18 billion feet, where the regrowth more than equals present cutting rate; of timbers taken from adobe Indian houses that were hewn with stone axes away back yonder, some of them (according to the educated sharps) cut in the year 1130; of the great supply of Cedar for posts; of the wonderful Grand Canyon where "the world breaks in two at your feet."
He tells of other wondrous phenomena, comet fragments and holes, etc. Then he tells of the crops that grow in Arizona, such as the eight thousand carloads of lettuce shipped each year from the Salt River Valley at a price between six and seven million dollars; two and a quarter million boxes of grapefruit and oranges per year; 127,000 bales of 'cotton annually, so high in quality that it is used almost exclusively for auto tires, fire hose, and su'ch quality matters ; 310,000 ounces of gold annually; 8,125,000 ounces of silver annually; one-fourth of the world's supply of copper; 20,275,W pounds of lead annually; 7,900,000 pounds ol zinc annually; second in the nation in ,canteloupe production anel acreage; 800,000 head of cattle roam the state ranges; four
million pounds of wool are produced annually, and considerable mohair; etc. '
He tells of the splendid condition of the banks of Arizona; and of the 75,m0 tourists that visit the State every year; of the famous cities and tou'ns of Arizona, Flagstaff, Williams, Tombstone, Tucson, Prescott, and Phoenix; he tells of the Apache Trail of the Roosevelt Dam, of the Clifi Dwellings, and other histori'c and interesting things within the borders of the state.
A couple of impressive poems on Arizona are included in the book, one about Bill Reeves, a famous hunter in the Superstition Mountains, the other just entitled "Away O'ut West," both by Sharlot M. Hall, of Prescott.
Mr. Totten'closes his book with the following characteristic resume:
"Arizona is not only a great and fertile field for those few who are still willing to rvork and enjoy the fruits of their own efiorts. It is also a paradise for those who want to play, some of whom can afford to loaf because they have earned the right themselves; others who vacation while Uncle Sam foots the relief bill. But regardless of how you come by it, here is a vast playground. Big and little game in a.bundance; streams and lakes alive with fish ranging from the lowly mud cat to the beautiful speckled rainbow trout. Don't get the idea you will be a successful hunter or fisherman without effort. These mountain lions, timber wolves, deer, et'c., are wild. (Just what they are wild about, I don't know), but they are as elusive as a flea on your grandma.
"I could have said more, but this is enough- I have tried to tell you in truth that we have in Arizona everything rvithin our borders for the building of an Empire' We could almost complete the job from our own resources with a Wall of China built around us' as we have only scratched the surface.
"If, after reading what is written here, you still have no desire to come and see, as did the Queen of Sheba during the reign of King Solomon, then you surely cannot complain of your own surroundings and conditions, both physical and financial. You have no love for the beautiful or fantastic; legends and romances of the past mean nothing to you; possibilities of the present and future are still dull objects. BROTHER, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING HERE ! (Defense rests.) "

There is no place where humor counts for more in a commercial way than in advertising. If you can only land your shot under a man's funny bone you have the deadly work and can interest him in whatever you have to offer. The necessity of saying things tersely and compactly, as the advertising writer must always say them, is a cardinal point in the training of the humorist, and for this reason I believe that the writing of advertisements is one of the best courses of instruction through which the man ambitious to shine as a professional humorist can pass.-George Ade.

The shortage of skilled craftsmen and the consequent threat of prohibitive labor costs is focusing the attention on methods and materials that will lower total construction costs. In recent years the use of panel type sheathing has made remarkable strides. This expansion of panel sheathing has developed in the face of higher first cost per square foot of material over that of conventional sheathing because the savings in labor of applying it reduced materially the cost of the finished job. Time studies on comparative jobs have developed estimates of a saving of application time averaging over 5O7o in favor of the panels. It is obvious that a carpenter can apply considerable more footage of sheathing when rvorking with panel units containing 32 squa.re feet than rvith strips of eight to ten square feet. But, coupled with the further saving of light rveight and the requirement for fewer and smaller nails, the economy of application is still more apparent.
For a number of years panels of Douglas fir plywood have been used somervhat experimentally as sheathing and the practice has grown as a result of successful experience by practical builders encouraged by dealers who used the product because of its apparent qualities. Recently, however, fir plywood sheathing has come into considerable prominence, due largely to the interest stimulated by laboratory tests at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. The laboratory seems to have verified the judgment of practical rnen u'ho pioneered the practice without benefit of technical advice.
The tests at Madison established definitely the great rigidity and strength of a frame wall sheathed with even la inch fir plywood, using 6d nails on five-inch and ten-inch centers. The rigiditl'of Va inch fir plywood sheathing was found to be 4A% higher than that of conventional diagonal sheathing, previously recognized as the strongest of sheathing; and, incidentally, if the plywood is glued to the studding, the already superior values are multiplied several-fold.
As a result of the Laboratory's announcement of its findings and in the face of rising labor'costs, alert builders were quick to adopt as standard practice the use of a "sheathing"
grade 5/16 inch plywood, whereas 5/8 inch plywood sheathing had been preferred before. This 5/16 inch plywood, being thinner than the thicknesses forrnerly used and costing approximately half, eliminated the objection of higher first cost. Moreover, since 5/16 inch fir plyu.ood seemed at first -and only "at fi15f"-1eo thin for a nailing base, a method of stripping or furring over the plywood, at the studs, was used. Conventional wood siding was then nailed to the furring, thus creating a double air space, and a lvarmer exterior wall.
The economy of the 5/16 inch panel type sheathing of
Douglas fir plywood as compared to conventional strips was evidenced not only by ease of handling and speed of erection, but by freedom from cutting and in the saving in nailing time. With the plyrv'ood panels there is no cutting except at opening; there is no 25 to 30 per cent allowance for waste for actual versus nominal dimensions; and the plywood is attached with fewer and smaller nails than needed with any other type.
These factors, combined with superior rigidity and strength, high insulating values and wind-proofing (due largely to minimum lineal footage of joints) have brought fir plywood to the front in the present era of quality construction with high labor costs.
All the foregoing augurs well for a moderate increase in the use of plywood sheathing, but now c,omes the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, representing the industry, with the announcement that shingles s'ill hold as well when nailed to fir plywood as when to conventional sheathing-and added reason for using the product of their member mills, and a further corroboration of practical judgment. According to a Bulletin issued by the Association, a series of tests lvas arrang'ed and conducted at the Forest Products Laboratory of the University of Washington, to determine the minimum thickness of Douglas fir plywood'as a suitable nailing base for shingles. Professor Bror Grondal of the University stafi, and probably the leading shingle authority in the country supervised the work. Various thicknesses of plywood (5/16", 3/8", and 3/4") were tested, as were several panels with 1"x4" Douglas fir and Southern Pine lumber for shingle strips. In each case, shingles lvere
applied in accordance with the standard specification of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and the load applied to an eight-inch wide shingle in the center of the panel. The results, if somewhat surprising to the inexperienced, only substantiated the claims previously made by the carpenterbuilders who had used plywood after running simple tests. It is believed that these tests conducted at the University of Washington will open wide the market for plywood sheathing.
According to lthe Shingle Bureauhandbook of the Red Cedar
"To lift a shingle eight inches wide from a roof covered with No. 1, lGinch shingles laid with a S-inch exposure requires a pull of 85 pounds."
This authority referred to a one-inch lumber base. yet the University of Washington tests on 5/16 inch plywood "sheathing" developed a minimum pull of 85 pounds and a maximum of 115 p,ounds; and since an 85 pound pull on an eight-inch shingle with five-inch exposure is equivalent to 300 pounds per square foot, the home owner need have no worry about shingles nailed to plywood. Even a tornado doesn't exert half the lifting acti,on which the shingles withstood during the tests. Thus, the reasoning of the practical builders was fully proven and their judgment of generous safety margins supported.
One point is emphasi zed by the Association bulletin with respect to shingling over "tight decks." They caution the builder (and are supported by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau) never to use a waterproof, saturated paper under shingles because such paper prevents "breathing', or the passage of water vapor.
Rosin-sized paper is admissible as is a tight deck of either lumber or plywood, but this is somewhat ,contradictory to the ancient objection that shingles will rot if laid on a tight roof, yet there is no evidence whatever to substantiate it. Ordinary fir plywood, although air-tight, does permit the necessary "breathing."
The official grading rules of the Douglas Fir plywood Association, as published in the U. S. Department of Commerce, Commercial Standard, provide for a standard "Sheathing Grade," manufactured in 5/16,,, 3/8',, and 5/8r, thicknesses. It is the grade which has been used for several years as both sheathing and subflooring and permits defects not admissible in wallboard and other panels which are staple merchandise in all dealer stocks. The price of 5/16 inch Sheathing Grade fir plywood is comparable in most markets with acceptable grades of conventional sheathing.

"Pick-up-and-go" fishermen like the idea of portable boats, but seldom find one that meets all of their requirements. Such an angler was Tacoma Fire Captain Van Bevers who turned his idle moments to portable boatmakirg. Lightweight, high strength Laminex plywood and an ample amount of paint solved much of his problem. A well thought out plan and competent workmanship solved the balance.
Months of use in both lake and salt water proved the success of the portable idea, substantiated Laminex claims of resistance to water and weather damage. As the snapshot shows, the transportable boat has sufficient room for both fish and fisherman.
