Washington, July Z).-General use of shortJength lumber, nine fiet oiless, will save enough forest material, now wasted, to build 300,000 eight-room dwellings annually, according toArthurT. IJpson,ilumber technologilt of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. The association has set up that objeqtive as a part of its contribution to the crusade on industrial waste being waged by Herbert Hoover.

Data gathered by the association, the United States forest product- laboratory at Madison, Wis., and the lumber divt iion of the Department of Commerce now are in the hands of a committee which is considering how to stimulate the public demand for short lengths, whchare said to be lheaper and usually of better quality than long lumber., Mi. Upson said the short-length economy p-rop_o_sed is equivalent in forest conservation to.giving the 20,000 lumbCr mills of the United States an entire year's holiday every tenth year, or about 38,000,000,000 Jeet of lumber, which would require all the saw timber on 380,000 acres of land.
