H. Homer Miller of the Miller-McDermott Hardwood Qo., San Diego, announces that he has sold out his interest ih the company to W. J. McDermott who will continue the business under the same name. Prior to his entering in business with Mr. McDermott in 1923, Mr. Miller was connected with E. J. Stanton & Son of Los Angeles. He plans to spend the next few months in Northern California and Oregon on a hunting and fishing trip, returning to Southern California around the first of December.

"Business will pick up" is the current opinion, "when they start building."
Who are "they" ?
Why not "we"?

You have read and will probabiy read more in these columns about Grade-marking lumber. Let's talk a little about it, editorially, so our friends will know just where we stand in tire matter. Besides, there are lights to be t::rown on the subject of grade and quality that should be mulled o., er by the lumbermen of California.
First, let's talk about the Grade-marking problem as the Scuthern Pine manufacturers and users have encountered it, because it furnishes most excellent illustrations. They have been talking Grade-marking in the Southern Pine industry for five or six years, and trying to work out a Grade-marking program. In The Gulf Coast Lumberman I editorially indorsed the principle of Grade-marking as soon as it appeared. I believe that lumber should be uniformly and exactly graded. as an elimination of the many unknown quantlties that have vexed the lumber indgstry.
But when the Grade-marking movement developed in the South to a point where it was being widely deciared that Grade-marking is a guarantee of lumber quality for the consumer, I immediately took exception to the statement, and succeeded in proving my case. Grade-marking is NOT a guarantee of lumber quality. It is a guarantee of grade -a guarantee that a certain grade shall contain no more than a certain number of deiects. But QUALITY lies inherently in the fiber of the wood.
In Southern Pine you *r, ,r.O"."tly see the same grade of lumber frorir two different mills selling for from $7 to $10 per thousand difference in the same lumber yard. They are the same in GRADE, but far different in strength, durability, usefulness, because of the difference in FIBER. Yo's 1ri11 find in Southern Pine No. 2 boards selling for more money than No. I boards from other mills, the first being the strong, hard-fibered Long Leaf, and the other being the quicker and weaker growths of Southern Pine. But both are graded alike. The other day the Southern Pine Association met in Memphis and agreed that lumber of identically the same grade from different mills are of far different value. You can buy Southern Pine of the same grade, one species of which qzi,ll rot out in a year if exposed to the weather, while the other will last generations under the same conditions. But the grade is the same, and if Grade-marked, they would be marked the same way. Get tLe idea ?
**)k
I don't believe the distinctions between various kinds of the same species of softwoods in the West are as great as in Southern Pine, yet they exist and must be reckoned with. You see one mill boasting about and advertising its soft fibered old growth Yellow Fir as something far better than just lumber. And it undoubtedly is. You can go to the docks at San Pedro or San Francisco and see Fir
lumber of the same grade as totally different in fiber and in wood value as are the Long Leaf and the Jack Pines and Loblolly of the South. The grade may be the same, but the VALUE, the QUALITY, the usefulness is far different. And the price should be. Highly competitive conditions and lack of ordinary discrimination often markets at the same price in California, lumber of far dissimilar worth. It won't always do that, but it has to some extent in the past. Making California the dumping ground of the Northwest has been t""n:"rlbt"*for this.
f befieve in Grade-marking lumber in the West, and I particularly approve of it in California, because it eliminates a lot of unknown quantities that have made the California lumber market the chaotic thing it usually is. I think California would profit much by using the same uniform methods of grading. I think it will help offset the terrible promiscuity that wholesale dumping has brought about. I think lumber carefully and uniformly graded at the mills in the North will be distributed less hurtfully in California. And, though it may seem to YOU in particular, Mr. Somebody, Somewhere in California, thatthis change ii generally made would interfere with YOUR business, f offer the suggestion that in the long run it would help eliminate many of the characteristics of this market that tend to make it the generally very difficult market that it is.
None of us, surely, would want to see the lumber market in California continue forever to follow its pathways of the past, with occasionally a decent market for a short time, but generally a heart breaking and purse stealing condition. We all want lumber things to be different in California, for the good of all concerned. We don't want it to be continually ups and downs with very few ups. And if conditions are to change, it will be only because methods have changed. We need'known quantities in the lumber business of California, and we need them worse than any other district known to man. Grade-marking will furnish some necessaryones.
But don't confuse Grade-marking guarantee with quality guarantee. Not directly. Indirectly it is reasonable to suppose that the mill that thinks enough ofits lumber to Grade-mark it will make good lumber. Th:rt is probably true. But the various mills will want to identify the quality of their fiber as well as the dependability of their grades. In the South many of the mills that have profited highly by their Grade-marking, also mark their species on the lumber. Many developments along this line may be expected in the West.
There is one line of business that bas shown increased business this past year in the face of existing conditions.

It's the one that replies, when you pick up your phone and say-"I want to talk long distance to New !e1["-"fleld the phone please"-3nd in a few moments you are talking to New York. And the voices, with the special power attached, go booming across the continent clearer and plainer than a local call. No wonder everyone is using the long distance phone for their business.

What a change from the days when the man who had much long distance talking to do had to hire a special clerk to handle it, so difficult was the operation. The greatest improvement f can think of in any line of business in recent years is long distance phoning. Just hugely improved service. In this case the word SERVICE has a tremendous meaning. Any maker or seller of a publicly used thing that puts in such improvement as the telephone people have done, will get the same sort of results. It's automatic. Some thinking man dug upthat idea of ten thousand per cent improved service. And it is just such thinking that all industries need. And those that have it, prosper.
It has been truly ,"*"JO"J irir.,-eraUte times in recent years by observers of business things, that the word "service" has been over.-worked to a degree that has almost made a mockery of it. But you will never over-work or over-do REAL service. And there will never be a time and never be conditions anywhere that will fail to put a direct cash premium on genuine service. Never ! But how many times you hear. and see that precious word used by a man who can't tell you to save his life just what this thing is that he is bragging about. The telephone company CAN. And lots df other people who are doing something definite and genuine and desirable-CAN.
A bulletin issued by w:,.l.rluror & Company, famous
retail lumber merchants of Waco, Texas, says: ,,The mortality tales of Dunn and Bradstreet are grim reminders of the rigors of business endeavor. Last year 19,703 business firms failed with liabilities of over 628,000,000 dollars. The lumber industry of yesterday paid large dividends to its pioneers, and the retail building materials business of tomorrow and today will pay just as well to you and the others who will be the leaders, if you keep in step with progress. The battle of business, inexorable yet beneficent, provides progress and variety which is life. And out of the turmoil emerge the victors. Men, clear eyed, alert, resourceful, they wi4 that all of us may live more fully. It is the law. The world steps aside tolet the man pass who can see a year ahead."
Speaking of business being slow, a wholesale lumber friend of mine in an eastern city writes me that he furnishes the Pondosa Pine lumber for a large casket factory, and that the casket business is so bad that the factory has held up its latest orders. Only about three dollars worth of Pine goes into a cheap casket. "What" asks my friend, "is the answer in this case ? Are people too hard up to even die?" They say the doctors everywhere claim their business is as rotten as the lumber business. Are people too hard up to get sick? Just what is the answer?
Printer's Ink tells " ,Ju ,l"a *"aory about meeting mail order competition. A lumber dealer was having a lot of trouble with his mail order competition, so he got a nephew towrite his most serious mail order competitor for their catalogue of homes. He wanted to find out just how they made their sales, what they had to offer, etc. The catalogue came. It was followed up by detailed plans, by a financial proffer of assistance, and then bya representative of the mail order house. The next thing the lumber. dealer knew, his nephew had bought a house from the mail order man.

JTrade promotion, legislation, iccredited standards, conditions and problems of the industry, the value of uniform price schedules and coopeiation were discussed by the members of the Millwork Institute of California at thb TriAnnual Conference held at theHotel Huntington, Pasadena, on August 7,8 and 9.
T\ Hg_ntington, located in a beautiful 27 acre park of the Oak Knoll section of Pasadena, withits many- oppor- tunities for pleasure and recreation, offered an ideal seltitg for the Conference. The banquet which was held at Thi H_untingrlon on Friday evening, August 8, was an enjoyable affair. The Conference voted to hold the annual meiting, lvhich lvill be held in November, at San Francisco.
Thursday Afternoon, August 7
The regular meeting of the Board of pirectors was held on^-Thursday afternoon, the business session starting at l:30 p. m.
Friday Morning, August 8
President A. \AI. Bernhauer, Fresno Planing Mill, Fresno, called the meeting together at 9:00 a. m., and introduced R, O. Orbinson, City Manager for the City of Pa_sadena, who welcomed the delegates to Pasadena.
In opening the business session President Bernhauer stated that the business of the Institute is being run by the Board of Directors who are taking a keen interest in the affairs of the Institute and who are giving their best efforts to the Institute's program which is being expanded along trade promotion lines. ".Wood is the most wonderful building material on earth, and there is a distinct trend back to wood," Mr. Bernhauer de,clared. He asked the delegates to talk wood and think wood and put wood inits rightful place. He urged the members to ask a decent priie for their products. A big factor in quoting r,r'ood against steel, he stated, is that rvood quotations are so much cheaper that the millu,orker is handicapped by the cheapness of the product they sell. "Intelligent trade promotion is the salvation of the lumber industry." he stated. The vital need of the Millwork Institute of California is for everybody to get together and cooperate, give the Directors the support they need, and rve rvill get a program we are proud of, he concluded.
President Bernhauer announced that at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on the previous afternoon lhat they approved the appointment of Miss Caroline Wood, in charge of the Institute's office at Fresno. to be Assistant Secretary of the Institute.
. L. G. Sterett, Manager, Service Bureau, Millwork Institute of Cali{ornia, in his report discussed the trade promo- tion activities of the Institute. During the past yiar, he reported that he had covered 30,000 mlles atiending .sales meetings and contacting architects in the state. HJstated that sales organizations can assist a great deal in the Institute's,trade promotion program. Regarding advertising, he stated thattheInstitute spends very little for publicity but that the benefits of advertising are 100 per cent righi. Mr. Sterett told the delegates the value of photographs of excellent millwork, and asked them to have photographs taken of their millwork installations. maili.rg same to itr. Institute's office where they will be used to good advantage for publicity purposes. Mr. Sterett urged the mill mett io cooperate and present a united front, and he mentioned instances where substitutes were used for rvood sash without consulting the millworkers.
Mr. Sterett announced that five new members had ioined the Institute, and tlr.o reinstatements had been made, during the past three months.
President Bernhauer announced the receipt of a telegram from_ _A. C. .llorner, San Francisco, Western Manag6r of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. advising that Dr. Wilson Compton, Secretarv, and W. F. Shaw-, Trade Extension Manager of the National, would be in San Francisco on August 13 or 14 and if the San Francisco members were interested that Mr. Compton and Mr. Shaw u'ould be pleased to meet with them.
President Bernhauer read the financial statement of the Institute as of August 1. He announced that just as soon as the finances of the Institute would permit, that a new man would be added to assist Mr. Sterett.

Dr. W. D. IVloriarty, University of Southern California, talked on the "Economics of the Lumber and Mill Business." In opening his discussion Dr. Moriarty asked"How many people in an industry should be there?" He stated that the lawyers, real estate brokers and contractors had to show a "certificate of competency" before they can do business. He urged the millworkers to get legislation to protect their industry from the inefficient coming in.
He recommended a ".certificate of competency" for the Millwork industry, stating, :'that if you only keep the dumbest from coming in you are doing some good for the industry and the public welfare." The Millwork industry is weak in not going before the Legislature and asking for
!l"t ltg was glad to get back.in the game again and meet his old friends, and also he was pleised to- see that the members of theInstitute have the same spiritthatwill finally succeed.
With the use of the black-board, Jim Clynick illustrated the costs of material and labor for several of the items flsled_ in the new price schedule book which will be pub- lished bythe Institute at an early date. The new book will include the price schedules for interior and exterior trim, frames of all types both interior and exterior, bandsawing,.shaping, sandblasting, etc., cabinet work, turning and stairwork. The delegates voted to have the pricE schedules printed for distribution to the members,- and non-members, at a charge of $20.00 per book. Many of the members subscribed for the book at the meeting. In discussing the price schedules, President Bernhauer stated that they will stabilize prices, eliminate alotof unfair competition, and convince the custoiner that we have a basis for prices. George Kaiser, Lannom Bros., Oakland, and Bert Maule, also addressed the convention on the sub-
ards. In discussing Associations such as this, Mr. Hunt protection to which they are entitred, Dr. Moriarty said, and ;?i"1
that he was interested in this subject because ire wanted good ofits members. 'i{U healthy growth is necessarily to see business get on a professional basis. A "certificate gradual and never without somi let-back," Mr. Huni ot com.petency" will result in better distribution of products declared. and willl

National Bank of Los Angeles, gave an excellent address on business conditions in the country and the future building possibilities in California.
John C. Austin, Los Angeles architect and President of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, told the Institute mcmbers that the Accredited Standards carries a fine message and contains much valuable information for the architects, also he hoped that they rvould be able to add to it so that the standards rvould be uniform in all architects' offices. He stated that the building industry and the millmen were not represented as much as they should be in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and said that they should rub shoulders more lvith the business men. The millmen should knorv the people they sell to, do a good job and get closer to the people, he declared.
Mr. Austin said that he had been familiar rvith woodrvork forforty years, and stated that the milhvork industry should be built up on a scientific basis. He related some of the samples of r'voodwork that he had seen in Europe, stating that he had seen woodwork in some of the churches there 5@ years old. Mr. Austin referred to the inroads of substitutes in the milhvork industrv. and regarding business conclitions stated that condiiions were shor,ving an improvement rvith the architects and he felt that rve rvere on the brink of a nerv era.
A.W. Bernhauer made a short talk onthe value of cooperation. and he introcLuced Harry' A. Lake, Garden Grove I-umber Co., Garden Grove, and President of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. Mr. Lake said it has been a pleasure to the State Association to have such close contact rvith the Milh.vork industry in the past, and he urged close cooperation ltetween the two branches of the industry. He spoke briefly on the activities of the State Association, saying that there are 11@ retail lumber dealers in the state rvho were willing to work in close contact with the millmen. We must have vision, the business is here if you know how to go after it, and the man who sells California short is going to go broke, Mr. Lake said.
In behalf of the Institute, Mr. Leishman thanked Glenn Green of the Huntington .Hotel for the excellent service

Just think of all the folks who went out to the woods and the hills this summer. All of them could have used boats to good advantage, but few had them because they cost too much and really are a luxury
They did not know that you could give them a plan and sell them the necessary lumber so they could have a boat for the cost of a good pair of shoes, or a fair fishing rod.
Get our boat plan service and use it! You couldn't serve your community better with so little effort.

The retail lumber dealers of the Southern District of the California Retail I-umbermen's Association met at the Elks' Club, Los Angeles, on Thursday evening, August 7. The meeting r,vas largely attended and all sections of Southern California were represented.
A. J. Stoner, Sawtelle Lumber Co., Sawtelle, presided at the meeting. Among the lumbermen who addressed the meeting \vere: Frank N. Gibbs. Gibbs Lumber Co., Anal-reim; Harry A. Lake, Garden Grove Lumber Co., Garden Grove and President of the State Association; Chas. P. Curran, Curran Bros., Inc., Pomona; O. H. Barr, Barr Lumber Co., Santa Ana; Paul Hallingby, Hammond l,umber Co., Los Angeles: Flank Kranz, Golden State Lrimber Co., Santa Monica; C. W. Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittier; Henry M. Adams, Adams-Bowers Lumber Co., Anaheim; Hal Baly, Consolidated Lumber Co., Los Angeles; C. H. Griffen, C. H. Griffen Lumber Co., Artesia; J. M. Buhler, J. M.

Blanchard, Blanchard LumberCo., North Hollywood; Wayne Mullin,Mullin Lumber Co., Los Angeles; F. N. Dudley, Dudley-Thomas Lumber Co., Santa Monica.
As a result of the meeting, the trustees of the various districts in Southern California met on Monday, August 11, at the offices of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Los Angeles to outline a program of. organization for the Los Angeles district. President Harry A. Lake volunteered the services of Dee C. Essley, Manager of the State Association, to assist in any way possible. Mr. Essley is sacrificing his vacation to help carry out the program.
John Treanor, President of the Riverside Portland Cernent Co.. Los Angeles, cliscussed the cen-rent situation and the new sales policy together with the new price schedule lvhich has been adjusted to meet present changed conditions, especiallv in regards to the trucking of cement. The nerv price list r,vill facilitate the purchase o{ cement in paper sacks, relieving the dealer of the expense of re-
handling cloth sacks and increases the dealers' margin by a material increase.
Dr. W.D. Moriarty, University of Southern California, addressed the meeting on "The Certificate of Competency." Dr. Moriarty said that a professional standard in businesj is on the way and he urged the lumber dealers to get legislation _to protect the industry fromthe inefficient coming in. Lawyers, real estate brokers and the contractors havi to'show a "certificate of competency" before they can do business, he stated. The Association through the solidar- ity ofits members can go before the Legislature and demand those things it is entitled to for the protection of the public and the industry itself. He said that he was interested in seeing the retail dealers get a "certificate of competency" through legislative action, as it would keep the dumbest from entering the business. A "certificate of competency" will result in protection to the public and the industry, an.cl al56 give a better distribution to lumber products, he stated.
A. W. Bernhauer, Fresno Planing Mill, Fresno, and President of theMillwork Institute of California, stated that the State Association has cooperated with the Millwork Institute l0O per cent. M;. Bernhauer told the dealers that the Millwork Institute were holding their TriAnnual meeting at Pasadena on Friday, Augusi 8, and invited the dealers to attend.. L. G. Sterett, Manager of the Service Bureau of the Millwork Institute of California, was introduced to the meeting.
C. W. Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittier. and Chairman of the Legislative Committee for the State association, announced that he was mailing the Southern California dealers a recommended list of tlie candidates for the State legislature in Southern California who will be voted on at the primary election on August 26. He stated that _a similar list for Northern California had already been mailed to the dealers in that part of the state. Mr. pinker ton said that the State association would presgnt important questions pertaining to the lumber industry at th-e next session of the State legislature and he asked the dealers' cooperation in this matter.

; Of great interest to those portions of the lumber industry affected by any of the several lumber trade name cases now before the Federal Trade Commission, is the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals recently rendered in the case of The Federal Trade Commission against the Berkey & Gay Furniture Company, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Various phases of the decision, reversing the cease and desist order of the Comnrission seem to be of more or less direct bearing on some of the other cases, principally the Philippine Mahogany case.
It seems that this case has many of the important phases of the Philippine Mahogany case, which American importers and distributors have always claimed to be strictly a competitive trade matter in which the Federal Trade Commission has unwisely and unjustly taken a hand.
The Federal Trade Commission ordered the Berkey & Gay Furniture Company to cease and desist from labeling and selling their laminated and veneered furniture as "Mahogany," "Walnut," etc., without specifying in their labels and advertisements that such furniture was veneered. declaring such acts to be deception and unfair practice.
In this case the United States Court did the exact thing that The Federal Trade Commission should have done but did not do-being, or alleged to be a court of business investigation-and examined into the real facts of the case. The Federal Trade Commission said. in effect: "This furniture is marked 'Mahogany' butis not solid Mahogany, and people might suppose they were buying solid Mahogany and were thus deceived, therefore you can't do that any longer."
It was like the superficial judgment of a little child in the matter. What did the United States Circuit Court of Appeals do? They went to the solid facts. They say in their reversal decision:
"The record discloses that the finest of all modern furniture, having exposed flat surfaces, such as tables, desks, and the like, are constructed from laminated wood, with the grains of the various layers running in different directions so as to prevent cracking and warping, and with a layer of Mahogany or Walnut secured to the exposed surfAce. INDEED SUCH ISTHE ONLY PRACTICAL WAY OF CONSTRUCTING FLAT SURFACES OF I.ARGE AREA AND ALL OF THE EFFECTS OF MATCHED GRAINING MAY BEOBTAINED ONLY
Three loud and rousing cheers for the court. This business body that rvas created to see things and judge them in a business way never listened to this, the only important phase of the entire matter. Sure the practice is universal. It's the only way it can be done. In ancient Egypt they built the wonderful pieces of furniture that we dig up anil look on with wonder, in that way. Wellbuilt liminated wood is stronger, better, more practical, and far more beautiful than the solid wood of the same character. The grain effects can be obtained only in that,way.
The Court sees another fundamental here that the Commission could not see. ft says:
"The record affirmatively diiclosei, without dispute, that all furniture of the better quality has its flat surfaces constructed of plywood, and THAT ONLY THE CHEAPER AND INFERIOR GRADES OF LESS VALUABLE MATERIAL ARE CONSTRUCTED OF SOLID wooDS."
And so the Court holds that there is no false labeling, no deception, no unfair practice.
4g"in, the furniture company had been charged likewise with refusing to comply with the cease and desist order of the Federal Trade Commission, just as the defendants have done in other wood cases. With regard to this, read the u'ords of the Court:
"We do not consider that it is a confession of misbranding or false labeling to urge the invalidity of the Commission's order, or to assert an unwillingness to comply there- with. If that order be invalid, the petitioner should not be burdened with its issuance."
And it concludes : "Not only is the order of the Commission wholly unsuppo_rted !y tltf evidence, but it is inappropriate to remedy the alleged evil. It is an interference with freedom and actiotr on the part of the petitioners of rvhich they may justly complain."
_ S_ounds as though the Court were soundly spanking the Federal Trade Commission, doesn't it ? The decisiott oJ the Court seems to say: "IJnwarranted interference" to the Commission.
It declares that the manufacturers of furniture have by their laminated artistry given the public "a better article, a more beautiful, more durable, and more serviceable piece of furniture."
That's one of the many recommendations over l2rOOO dealers are able to give contractors and builders concenring tfiis super building paper. under hardwood and other types of foors, Sisalkraft provides an absolute stop to moisture and air seeping up from below, thus preventing warping and creaking. It is easy to apply also. It has clean surfaces, comeg in widths up to 84 inches, and does not scuff up, bunch or tear. Its strength is remarkable.
Another feature of Sisalkraft that builds gpod wilt for the dealer and contractor is the pennanency of its air- and watentightness. Thehigh grade asphdtum does not dry out, cracl< or melt under any weather condition. Its uses are lxr numerioull that the market is almost infinite. Thefirst sale brings repeat ordetrs.

The creation of miniature golf courses bids fair to utilize the three-quarters of a million or million dollars worth of lumber now being required for incidental framing of greens and fairways on these recreation centers. The N, L. M. A. Trade Extension Department believes the lumber industry will push this opportunity into the millions with a drive to permanently house-in these courses and make them useable the year round.
In order to put local retailers in a position to realize this opportunity and to take advantage of it a new bulletin in the N. L. M. A. Trade Extension "Lumber Facts" series will give dealers all the information necessary to make a drive for such business. The Pony Golf Course issue will tellof the present use of lumber in the laying out of the courses and will suggest many ways in which this lumber bill can be increased. It will suggest amusement enterprises that can be combined with the golf play and housed under one roof for profitable 12-month operation. It will tell of various patented lumber roof construction types, such as the Lamella, the Notrus, the Dome and other trussless types that leave lgng, wide, unobstructed floor areas and that can be so built as to permit open side walls during parts of the year as well as extensive ventilation and extensive lighting areas the year round.
It is estimated that this season there have been built 15,000 of these miniature golf courses and this number is increasing daily. It is believed that at least several thou-
sand of these new recreation centers will see their way clear toward developing themselves into community center amusement resorts.
According to recent advice from L. S. Turnbull, assistant sales manager of The McCloud River Lumber Co., miniature golfing has taken Southern California by storm. Hundreds of these small courses have been built in Southern California.
Additional investments for housing-in the miniature courses will probably average about six to eight thousand dollars per center, and will involve extensive use of lumber. The N. L. M. A. Trade Extension Department is actively behind the program to develop the sale of lumber beyond the present estimated needs of $1,000,000 worth of wood construction to $50,000,000 worth, and even more. if lumbermen cooDerate,
Although-every course owner will not be a prospect for a permanent, housed-in athletic center, probably at least several thousand of these new recreation centers will see their rvay clear toward developing themselves into community center amusement resorts. Skating rinks, Little Theatres, comfort stations, markets, oil-fi1ling stations, information bureaus, indoor tennis courts, basket ball fields, bowling centers, and numerous other uses can be put to the space, comfortably housed for these miniature golf courses if and when a change in recreation is desired, or the location can be utilized for a different type of civic need.

Ten years of idealistic service, rvhich had rvon hirn a place all his own in the hearts of lumbermen, came to a close for the Rev. Peter A. Simpkin, beloved chaplain of Hoo-Hoo International, August 1, at the home of his son, Dr. John M. Simpkin, in Marshfield, Oregon. Never physically robust, ill health and misfortune in 1929 marked the beginning of the end for this colorful apostle of the good word, who forsook the pulpit to carry the creed of goodwill, fellowship and the square deal into the lumber industry. He had been onthe inactive list for more than a year, his last regular service in the field being early in lgD. Ailing himself, his condition was aggravated by the illness of his wife last summer and her death in August last year. This tragedy prevented for the first time since I9N, the Chaplain's attendance at the Hoo-Hoo Annual, at which he alwavs was a prominent figure.
Rev. Peter A. Simpkin n'as l>orn May 28, 1866, at Lumberhead Green, Wigan, England. I{e started his ministerial career at 17, doing student preaching, and at 2l came to America. Admitted to the Methodist ministry, he was appointed to a church in Wisconsin, in 1890 and served four years. He entered the Congregational ministry at the time and was assigned to home missionary work in Wisconsin and later Nerv Mexico. After several years he q'as given the pastorate of St. Philip's Congregational Church, Salt Lake City, rvhere he presided from 1901 to 1920, intermittently filling the pulpit at a church in Santa Monica, Calif.,and at the Mission Church, San Francisco. He had many interests outside his church, being active in constru,ctive public affairs and a frequent speaker before various organizations. He rvas an ardent enthusiast for sporting events, his favorite pastime being baseball. During the war he was of great aid to the government through his efforts as a Y. M. C. A. secretary in the West, and through his speaking campaigns in behalf of the Liberty Loan. His strenuons efforts along thisline contributed perhaps more than anything else to the decline of his health in later years. He was intensely proud of the fact that he traveled more than 125.000 miles. delivered more than 1200 Liberty Loan and patriotic talks, and helped to raise approximately $5,000,000 for the war cause.
It was on account of ill health that the "Parson" resigned the pastorate of St. Philip's Congregational Church. The board of trustees adopted resolutions expressing the regret of the congregation and bestowing on him the title of
pastor emeritus, which he held at the time of his death.
The "Parson's affiliation with Hoo-Hoo dates back to an address he made at Salt Lake City in April, 1920, when the audience included H. R. Isherwood, at that time serving his first 1'ear as secretary-treasurer of Hoo-Hoo International. Secretary-treasurer Isherwood told the Supreme Nine of the oratorical ability and the practical idealism of the Rev. Simpkin and suggested that he be engaged by the Order for work in the field. Immediate authorization rvas not forthcoming, but the secretary-treasurer bookecl Rev. Simpkin for several meetings during the year that followed and he made such a tremendous impression that he was employed a year later and sent into the field. His first association with lumbermen was not through HooHoo, however. The sobriquet, "Lumberjack Sky Pilot," rvas given him in his earlier days as a minister in Wisconsin, where he spent much time in lumber camps and among the hardy men rvho wrote white pine history in the North woods.
The title "Parson" rvas conferred on him during his career rvith Hoo-Hoo, though no one seems to recall just how the name developed. Lumbermen invariably addressed him by that title and corresponclence and publicity referring to him usually applied this term of affection.And the Rev. Simpkin himself signed his letters and referred to hjm;elf as "Parson."
,/ During his nine active years with the Order, he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and delivered innumerable talks. He unfailingly drew a large audience and won cottverts to the cause of the Black Cat. "Parson" Simpkin was unusuallv tolerant in his views on politics, religion and personal habits. but he was intensely intolerant toward those lvho ignored Hoo-Hoo or minimized its benefits. He rvas personally so imbued with the virtues of fellowship, confidence and cooperation in business that he could not understand any lumberman not recognizing their importance.
H. had been at the home of his son at Marshfield for t some months, for medical attention and care. The body was taken to Salt Lake City for burial, following services from St. Philip's Church, Tuesday, August 5. Messages and floral offerings came from many sections. In addition to Dr. Simpkin, the chaplain is survived by another son, Joseph, arrd a daughter, Mrs. Alice Anderson, both of Salt I-ake City.

During his visit in California this week, J. H. Burnside, sales manager of Fir-Tex Insulating Board Co., the thriving new industry of St. Helens, Oregon, announced the company's distribution arrangements as perfected for this section.
Dant & Russell, Inc., of Portland, will be general distributors of Fir-Tex for California and Arizona. Agents in this state are Ralph C. Turner, &7 Call Bldg., San Francisco, and Thomas W. Dant, 606 Petroleum Securities Bldg., Los Angeles.
Exclusive jobbers for the territory north of Tehachapi are Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co.,2l5 Market St., San Francisco. and in the southern region representation will be divided between two Los Angeles concerns, Hammond Lumber Co., 2010 S., Alameda St., and Kerckhoff-Cvzner Mill & Lumber Co.,902 N. Alameda St.
Commenting on the interesting activities which have been focused at the big new St. Helens plant during the past few months, Mr. Burnside said:
"A new element has entered into the insulation field and one that is revolutionary inits importance. It is Fir-Tex Company's first creation, a one-inch not-laminated, semirigid wood fiber super-insulate, made in one piece, and it achieves, in a single stroke, something that many plants have been seeking for vears. putting millions into experiments to reach this objective.
"Only recently an authority who is personally acquainted with every major operation of this kind in the United States and Canada, cleclared after careful and exhaustive inspection of the Fir-Tex olant at St. Helens. that it is the best built and the most modern in the United States.
Harry A. Gorsrrch. Kansas City, Mo., has moved to Los Angeles where he rvill make his home in the future. Mr. Gorsuch has been associated with the lumber industry in the Middle West for many years. He is a former secretary of the Southrvestern Lumbermen's Association and served this organization in that capacity for eighteen years. For the past ten vears he has follorved trade iournal work.
"This Fir-Tex product will be made in a standard thickness of one inch. Each sheet will be four feet square, semirigid and easily handled. Each of the distinctive cartons in which it will be packed to insure arrival in the hands of the consumer in perfect condition, will carry six standard sheets of the insulation, or 96 square feet.
"In what is considered as more of a specialty market than can be served effectively by the thinner, rigid insulating boards already well-known to commerce and industry, this new Fir-Tex super-insulation will meet a long-felt want.
"Refrigerating structures of all kinds-railroad cars, refrigerator cars, cold storage plants, ice houses, commercial and domestic ice making and refrigerator boxes of all sorts -will find it especially adaptable.
"In construction ranging from the simplest homi-building to the elaborate sound and heat insulation required in the most complex of the greatest type of modern buildings, the value of Fir-Tex insulation was apparent the instant the first piece came off the machine at St. Helens.
"New uses are developing momentarily-uses which have not been developed heretofore because there was no product as yet manufactured which could meet the needs implied in these uses.
"Parallel with the production rvhich began the first of July, the sales forces of Fir-Tex are being schooled intensively and specially in the plant at St. Helens, to be in a positior-r to give the consumer the best possible advice and co-operation in Fir-Tex use and the direct methods of application, also in determining the direct saving and the increased effectiveness possible through the use of Fir-Tex."

Mr. Long was born in Marion County, Indiana, near Indianapolis, December 3, 1853, the son of Isaac and Sarah V. Long. He was a lumberman from boyhood.
As a boy among his first working experiences was helping his father in a small sash mill owned by his father' Fiom the age of thirteen to fifteen he acted as the salesman for the little mill, selling the lumber in and about Indianapolis. where the family then lived. Following this selling.experience he spent four years in a real estate office and entered the lumber business again as a tallyman in the yard of a hardwood wholesaler in Indianapolis who specialized in walnut lumber, buying timber and cutting it up in small mills. He had charge of many of these mills, bought timber, sold lumber and became a highly proficient lumberman
In 1884 Mr. Long moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to work as shipping clerk with the Northwestern Lumber Company. lle was made sales manager of the company within a year and remained in that capacity until 1900, when, after a brief sojourn with the Brittingham & Hixon Lumber Company, in February, 1900, he accepted an offer to become the western representative of the newly organized Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.
At the end of June, 1929, Mr. Long, after thirty years' service with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, was
made chairman of the executive 'committee of the board of directors
Mr. f,ong was married at Bedford, Indiana, to Carrie B:. Robinson, daughter of Col. Edward J. Robinson. Thref children were born to the family: Margaret R'; Helen, and George S. II, who is now in the employ of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Tacoma

Said the little red rooster, "Gosh all hemlock, things are tough. Seems that worms are getting scarcer, and I cannot find enough.
What's become of all those fat ones is a mystery to me; There rvere thousands through the rainy spell-but now ' rvhere can they be ?"
The old black henwho heard him didn't grurnble or complainShe had gone through lots of dry spells, she had lived through floods of rain-
So she flew up on the grindstone, and she gave her claws a whet,
As she said. "I've never seen the time there rveren't worms to get."
She.oickecl a new and undug spot; the earth was hard and firm.
The little rooster jeered. "New ground-that's no place for a rvorm."
The old black hen just spread her feet, she dug both fast and free;
"I must go to the worms," sl-re said; "the worms lvon't come to me."
The rooster vainly spent his day-through habit, by the \'vay-
Where fat, round worms hatl passed in squads back in tlre rainy day.
When nightfall found him supperless he growled in accents rough:
"I'm hungry as a fou'l can be-conditions sure are tough."
He turned then to the old black hen and said, "It's worse with you, For you're not only hungry but you're tired, too. I rested while I watched forivorms, so I feel fairly perk; But how are you without worms, and after all that work?"
The old black hen hopped to her perch, and dropped her eyes to sleep, And murmured in a drowsy tone, "Young man, hear this and weep:
I'mfull of worms and happy, for I've dined both long and well;
The worms are there as always, but I had to dig like hell !"
Oh, here and there red roosters still are holding sales positions; They ,cannot do much business now, because of poor conditions. But soon as things get right again they'll sell a hundred firmsl\{eanrvhile theold black hens are out and gobbling up the worms.

The largest saw factory in the world, consisting of building units of the most modern type is to be built immediately by the Simonds Sarv and Steel Company in Fitchburg, Mass., r'i'here the industry was founded nearly a century ago'
Announcement of the purchase of a large tract of land, located in the easterly section of Fitchburg, along the line of the Fitchburg Division of the Boston & Maine Railroad, has just been made by the officials of the Simonds Saw and Steel Company. Simultaneously with this news comes the statement that an entirely ner.v plant for the manufacture of saws, machine knives, and files, will be built on the recently acquired location. Plans have been completed after an extensive survey by expert engineers for this plant, which it is asserted, rvill be rnost modern in building construction and also as to the ma-chinery anC other equipment.
This new Simonds factory, it is estimatecl, rvill cost about one-million-and-a-half dollars.With this announcement comes the added important fact that trvo large factories, located in Fitchburg, lvill be vacated as soon as the new manufacturing grollp is completed. The extensive plant of this company in Chicago, lvill aiso be made a. part of ttt. nerv co.tsolidated plant and 'ivill occupy a prominent part of the proposed manufacturing program.
In Fitchburg the present exten'sive manufacturing plant, entirely rebuili in 1904 and consisting principally oi buildings four stories in height, on a large acreage in- the heart of-the city, will be vacated when the new buildin-gs ar-e ready for bc.upattcy. 'I1-ris is expected to be about Jnne-1, 1931: This gioup of buildings rvill in all probability be occupied by another large industry.
The File Works of the Simonds Company rvhich occupids a separate factory in another location in Fitchburg will be generously provided for in the consolidation plan, rvhere its further rapid expansion is anticipatecl. The main layout of the new plant to house the units referred to above, calls for a building designed for greater manufacturing efficiency, rapid service a.td the retention of the high standard -of quatity for rvhich this company has been celebrated for nearly 100 years of continuous manufacturing activities.
Never before in the history of the sarv, machine knife, and file industry has thele l>een sttch a progressive step made by an indiviclual organization such as Simonds proposes to accomplish. Undoubteclly this nerv plant rvill be the most modern that industrial science and engineering can conceive. The vacating of the plants rvhich heretofore have been 'considered the foremost in this fielcl, and construction of an entirely nerv one, is a project tvhich is in step rvith the up-to-date policy rvhich Si'moncls has ahvays maintained. It will mean the retention of the organization's quality in proclucts with progressive methods and consumer servlce.
Simonds. through its various manufacturing plants, has been a self-contained organization and will continue rvith this same policy, as indicated by the recent announcement of an extension to its steel mills in Lockport, N. Y., where most of the special steel n'hich goes into the making of Simonds products is made.The l,ockport mill is being extencled and further equipped to meet the clemand for the future.
At this time no clrastic changes in other manufacttrring plants owned by the Simonds Saw and Steel Company in the United States and Canada are anticipated.
