Now The Wood Awning!

Cleveland, Ohio, July 25.-A recent development in sun a.nd storm protection is the wood shutter-awning. Permanency is a feature of this awning, which also has the advantage of not having to be stored in winter. Then, too. the positive elimination of flopping and rattling, regardless of weather conditions, is a strong selling point. Built similarly to the lines of the Venetian interior blinds, the wood shutter-awning is adaptable to any type of architecture and adds an attractive color note to any home-be it new or old. The manufacturers list the following advantages: defies sun and storms ; admits air and light; permits vision and ventilation; is adiustable from the inside, noiseless ; permanent; painted when the house is painted ; no obstruction to screens or storm windows; can be removed in ten minutes, if desired, for storing ; ffLay be left up the year round; built to fit any size windorvs or porch; eliminates getting up on stormy nights to put up awnings; will outlast many sets of cloth arvnings; fine for sleeping porches; already installed on many of Cleveland's finest homes.

Lumber Exports Decline Yields Large Revenue

During the first three months of 1930 there were exported from the United States 441,000,000 feet of boards, planks, and scantlings, valued at $18,467,00O, a decline in quantity of 27/o belorv last year and l5/o smaller than the S-year averag'e. according to the United States Chamber of Commerce. The value was 2l/o belou' last year's figure and 12/o lorver than the S-year avefage exports. The decreases were spread very generally among all important lumber markets. Shipments abroad of sar,r'ed timber rvere also considerably smailer than a year ago.

The decrease in lumber exports during the first three months of 193O reflects a loss in exports felt generally throughout the foreign trade of the United States. Exports of all commodities in January, February and March, 1930, were 2O/o lower than those for the first quarter of. 1929. Imports rvere also 2O/o smaller than in the same period a year ago.

Washington, D. C., July 26.-Probably there is no fruitbearing tree yielding a larger revenue, as a whol.e, than the apple. When fruiting days are over it goes to the sawmill. Economy of utilization is rigidly possible and the woodworking plants waste no scrap of apple wood in the millions of feet used annually for saw handles and pipe bowls. All cuttings left from the handles are employed in making the bowls. The apple logs are air-seasoned for three years, after which they are jnspected and sarved into propet lengths for the handles.
