Ken Smith is enjoying a short and well earned vacation at Del Monte, following his strenuous life of several weeks during which the Los Angeles lumber strike was in progress. He spent approximately Z5O hours in strike conferences during the three weeks of the strike, something of a record in itself.
The Benson Lumber Company, operating a large sawmill plant at San Diego, received their first big log raft of the season from the Columbia River late in July. There was about six million feet of timber in the raft.

Seattle, Washington, August 7.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in July (4 weeks) was 119,191,000 board f'eet, or 6O.5 per cent of the weekly average f.or l92Gl9D, the industry's years of highest capacity realization. Orders averaged I%,769,W b.f.; shipments, I21,7O7,W. Weekly averages for June were: production, 130,433,000 b.f. (66.2 per cent of the h.c.r. index) I orders, I 42,886,000 ; shipments, I 33,81 1,000.
First 30 weeks of 1939, cumulative production, 3,533,415,000 b.f.; same period, 1938,2,734,759,W; 1937, 4,024,483,000.
Orders for 30 weeks of 1939 break down as follows: rail, 1,523,780,W b.f.; domestic cargo, 1,426,572,000; export, 262,277,W ; local, 551,622,ffi0.
The industry's unfilled order file stood at 486,988,000 b.f. at the end of July; gross stocks, at 946,000,000.
Positive influences on the market position of West Coast lumber in July were led by the settlement of the California strike of lumber yard workers. The strike had stopped lumber movements from Los Angeles yards and held up a large part of building in the region. The settlement has released the flow of West Coast lumber in its largest single market. July brought more inquiries to the industry from the United Kingdom. These are related to defense requirements for barracks construction, etc. This special demand is temporarily exceeding the capacity of Canadian mills. The excess demand is yet small in volume, but it is a postive factor. Another seasonal influence is in orders from railroads for grain doors. This is an annual event for West Coast lumber.
Negative influences, again reflected in the lag of production behind orders, were in the continued lopsided character of the market. Cutting business remained on a low level. U. K. demand was for small sizes, to be used in barracks and similiar construction. There was no other increase in exports. As in previous months, home building, particularly in the low-cost field, was the major support of the market for West Coast'lumber. Most West Coast mills, cannot utilize their logs economically in supplying this single market, while the demand for large sizes and the lower grades is low.
The general situation of West Coast lumber at the end of July represented a continuance of June trends. The
prospects for farm trade are still doubtful, resting on solution of the old equation of apparently large crops vs' apparently low prices. The industry anticipates the same volume of farm demand as that of last year.
The lumber industry during the week ended July 22 stood at 69 per cent of the seasonal weekly average of production in I9D; 73 pet cent of the seasonal weekly average of shipments in I9D, and 81 per cent of the seasonal rveekly average of new business in l9D, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of important softwood and hardwood mills. Reported new orders in the week ended JuJy 22 were 30 per cent in excess of the seasonal weekly average of 1938 orders.
During the week ended luly 22, 514 mills produced 246,938,ffi feet of softwoods and hardrvoods combined; shipped 242,278,W feet; booked orders ol253,673,W feet. Revised figures for the preceding week were mills, 524; production 240,I97,W feet; shipments 228,572,000 feet; orders 239,861,000 feet.
Lumber orders reported for the week ended July 22, by 430 softwood mills totaled 243,963,ffi f'eet; or 2 per cent above the production of the same mills. Shipments as reported for the same week wete 233,373,000 feet, or 3 per cent below production. Production was 240,090,000 feet' Reports from 100 hardwood mills give new business as g,7lO,W feet, or 42 per cent above production. Shipments as reported for the same week were 8,905,000 feet, or 3O per cent above production. Production was 6,848,0@ feet.

Here are some advertising thoughts that will impress YOU. I know they will, because they turn up some ideas in a very interesting way.
They came to me the other day in the mail from my friend, Peter B. Kyne. Peter knows I am always in the market for new slants at publicity, so he sent me these.
Catch tlis one: "Advertising in a newspaper is merely the delivering of the advertisef,'s message to the readers of the paper. If you were to telegraph some person for fifty dollars and you did not get it, you wo,uldn't blame the Western Union, would you? Yet the telegraph wire and s€rvice is very much like the newspaper. It is a vehicle for delivering the message and that is all that can be expected of it, and the opportunity and the senice is what the advertiser pays for."
That is the best answer I ever heard to the fellow who said he tried advertising, and didn't get results. It simply agrees with what has been said in these columns thousands of times that it isn't the fault of the medium, when adi vertising doesn't pay, it is just the fault of the advertiser, his goods, or his message.
Again we read in this dope from Mr. Kyne: "The advertiser buys an opportunity to tell his story to the readers of the paper. If the readers do not answer, it is becausd his name or proposition does not appeal to therrr, or because they have NOT faith in the advertiser. The great benefit that comes frorn advertising is the moulding of
favorable public opinion about the advertiser. Ask any man, woman, or child in New York City which is the best jewelry store in town, and the reply will be-Tiffany's. And what has Tiffany done to gain this favorable opinion? It has built a business along lines that met with the respect of the public, and then sent the public a message so continuously covering a period of years as to make them understand and become in accord with the ideals that Tiffany stands for. It is the confidence and respect of the public, backed by continuous advertising, that has made Tiffany famous.
"When an advertiser tries a paper of established character and reputation, the paper is not on trial. All it has to do is carry the message. The entire burden is on the advertiser."
Here is another good thought: "Automobiles are supplied nowadays with everything except intelligence, and the buyer must furnish that. An advertising medium, also, is simply the perfectly equipped vehicle, and the man who advertises in it must furnish the intelligence for his own advertising."
And here is another: "Advertising is like a college. Colleges cannot make successes of every man who goes to them. The responsibility for the success of a student does not rest on the college he goes to, but on the student himself. And advertising cannot make a success of every boob merchant."
Some mighty fine advertising thoughts in the above lineup.
The answer is eurphatically-NO, despite the chims recetrtly made in a na' tional magazine article to the effect that material dealerc add too gr"at e ttmark-uF " on cetne-nt.

While I believe that crll of the grecrt lundcrmentqls of busiDess success-IfONESTY, DEPENDABILFY, AMBHON, \[SION, ENTHUSIASIVI ENERGY, PITNCIL AND STICKTOITT\|ENESS<re ATTAINABLE to the csvercge man who wishes to succeed in business, I cnn inclined to believe that the qucrlity oI'PIINCII" is perhcps-rcrrking with VISION-the most difticult of crttcrinment to the mcn who seems lcrcking in thcrt depcrtnent to start with.

You lorow-
It iga't go nuch whqt you do or 8crf, F.,
II the hea got up on the roost to ltty it?
The fellow who hcrEn't the grecrt crsset called "PUNCH," mcy hcrve fine guclities, splendid thoughts, exqellent idecs, but fcils to "put his stuff oyat," on cccount of thst very lcrck.
Grcry's lcrmous "Elegy in c Country Church Ycnd," relers so leelingly thct cll the thinking world hcs pondered scdly over the thought, to the lcrct thcrt men of mighty thoughts cnrd power go benecrth the sod without hcrving been recogmized. Think oI his "Mute inglorious Milton"" crnd other potenticrl yet undiscovered notableg. Every word ol thct beautiful'Elegy" is true. Yet the grect poet might hcve ended his becrutilul theme-had he been prccticclly instecrd of poeticcrlly inclined-by simply sayins in closing, some such doggerel qs this:
It is cr lcrct that grecrt truths cre olten lost entire\ to loe beccuse oI the spineless chartrcter of their presentction, while the commonplcce things are emblcrzoned by the attrcrctive, interesting crnd Iorcelul wcry in which lhey cre "put over." Thcrt 'llVlute, inglorious Milton," might be the cuihor oI some of our "best sellers" had he not lacked lhcrt one estimable cmd invcrlucrble crsset which we qre now discussing.
The fellow who looks upon hirnsell crs unlortuncrtely lccking in *PIINCH," crnd sees other lolks who seem to be lreely endowed by Providence wilh plenty of it, ehould keep the thought loremosi in his hecd thct words, cnd phrcses, cnd ccts, thct have c noticetrble "kick" in them, cre certcin qs the Lord mcde little green cpples, tq be the result ol thoughilul prepcrction crnd intelligent cpplication.

You crre sde in cssuming thct the line ol cction or crgument thct crttrcrcts your cttention wcs charted, blueprinted, cnd prepdred for mcrket.

It was three o'clock in the morning. Our hero, as he lurched along the street towards home, was drunk. But he was not too drunk to remember several things very clearly. One of them was that he had promised his wife he would stay sober. The other was he had given a double promise that if she would let him go to the stag party, he would be home by midnight, on his word of honor. And a third thing he remembered was that his wife, when her temper rose, was as handy with a pitcher or a shoetree as Shakespeare ever was with the pen. What a terrific temper that woman had !

F. "Tom" Tomlison, salesman for Paramino Lumber Co', San Francisco, broke his leg when his car collided with the rear end of a truck on the highway near Dublin, Alameda County, July 26. He is recovering nicely and will be back on the job in a few weeks.
He had only one forlorn hope, and that was that she would fall asleep and not hear him when he went in. Otherwise even his most optimistic soul told him that he was in for deep, dark, and serious trouble. He had broken promises so continually that he had not an excuse left to stand on. And then, as he turned into his gate, and started up the front steps, he saw a man stooped down at his front door, and busily engaged in trying to pick the lock.
"Pal," said the drunk to the burglar, as he swayed unsteadily on his pins, "I'11 make a bargain with you. I'll agree to open the door for you, if you'll agree to walk in first."

The softwood situation in Europe at the present time is decidedly interesting, and explains to a large extent the enthusiasm with which buyers for Great Britain are snapping up all the Pitch Pine they can get from the Southern part of the United States. Last year other European countries supplied Great Britain with 3,663,000,000 feet of softwoods. This year they will supply her not more than J500,000,000 feet, according to report, and a rush has therefore been made to get lumber and timbers fr.om Canada and the United States. The Yellow Pine mills of the South are at present enjoying a wonderful market in Great Britain for whatever Pitch Pine they can manufacture into the items desired bv the British.
The government of Italy has taken charge of the imports of lumber i,nto that country. It has created five import companies to control lumber imports as well as domestic prices. These companies are located at Genoa, Trieste, Venice, Naples, and Catania. The Genoa company will handle all imports from North America. Each of the com, panies is financed at five million lire. All Italian lumber merchants must invest in the new concerns in order to continue in business,
Lumber production in Russia in 1938 was roughly estimated at 26,00O,00O cubic meters, a decline of about 2,7@,000 cubic meters from 1937. Many things hampered the industry, notably lack of sufficient transportation facilities, and shortage of labor.
The Swedish government has subsidized a large lumber' mill for the purpose of producing exclusively prefabricated wooden houses. This is due to the rapidly growing popularity of prefabricated homes in Sweden. More than five thousand prefabricated homes were made and sold in Sweden last year.
we hear much
rrom a poriticar standpoint, and few realize that this city is the second larg_ est lumber shipping port in Europe. Before the World War Riga was the largest lumber shipping port in Europe, due to the vast shipments of Russian lumber. Now Danzig is the leading lumber port on the Baltic, with Riga second. Archangel, the leading Soviet port, now surpasses both Danzig and Riga. Danzig offers the best facilities in Europe for handling and storing lumber. Red and White pine, Fir, Oak, and Beech are the prlncipal species of lumber shipped through Danzig.
The government of Argentina in South America is now trying to find out just how much mer,chantable timber there is on government-owned lands. Development and conservation are its .chief aims in so doing. More than onethird of the entire area of Argentina is covered with forests, of which the state owns about ten per cent. The entire forested area is about 2,ffi,000 acres. Yet in 1937 Argentina imported $4,500,000 worth of lumber and logs from the United States.
According to American consular reports the supply of Mahogany from British Honduras is becoming decidedly scarce. Report says that in order to fill contracts in recent years more and more small trees have been cut for market. The Government is attempting replacerr,rent of the Mahogany forests by controlled cutting on its own lands, although it has no control over private holdings.
The lumber industry of Japan is to be ,placed on a wartime basis at once, according to report. Measures under consideration by the Government include control of prices, restriction of consumption, arranged felling of trees, and shipping control. Lumber prices in Japan are 5O to 6O per cent higher than last year.
Announcement is made by Francis E. Boyd that he has purchased the controlling interest in the Union Mill & Lumber Company, Sarita Barbara, and became president of that concern on July 20.
Mr. Boyd is one of the best known lumber and mill men in California. Up to the time he closed out the Boyd Lumber & Mill Company in Santa Barbara on December 31, 1938, he had been working continuously in some department of the lumber business since 1910 when he went to Washington to work in the woods and sawmills. After gaining logging and sawmill experience he ran the Builders Lumber Company at Gustine, Calif for some time until he enlisted in I9l7 in the Forestry Engineers and spent 20 months in France.
He came to Santa Barbara in 1919 and became vicepresident and general manager of'the Boyd yard, remaining there until the yard closed. Mr. Boyd was associated with the lJnio,n Mill & Lumber Company for a few mo.nths before completing the negotiations which have made him head of the company.
A. J. MacAdams will remain as manager and vice-president, and it is expected that the old company will continue without change in policies.
It is interesting to note that the Union Mill & Lumber Company was organized 50 years ago from a number of smaller Santa Barbara lumber and mill concerns.
United States exports of logs and lumber during the first five months of this year totaled 465,793,W board feet, an increase of 4 per cent oyer the corresponding period in 1938, the Forest Products Division of the Department of Commerce reported on July 7.
Sawed material in the same periotl totaled 401,612,000 feet, an increase ol Z per cent over the 1938 five months exports, and logs and hewed timber totaled 64,181,000 feet, an increase of 13 per cent over a year ago.
Douglas fir and Southern yellow pine lead in the softwoods exports while oak was the predominant species in the hardwood shipments.
Imports into the United States of logs and lumber in the first five months of this year totaled 349,789,000 feet, an increase of. 44 'per 'cent over the imports in the same period in 1938. Imports of softwood lumber, including clapboards, accounted for 66 per cent of the total. Spruce lumber was most important single species imported.

Seattle, August 9.-It was disclosed here today by Fire Chief William Fitzgerald that authorities have been investigating what is believed to be a coast-wide sabotage plot which has cost the lumber industry many thousands of dollars in losses.
He blamed today's $55,000 fire here, which destroyed the Pankratz Lumber Co. and damaged two adjoining industrial plants, of a "firebug ring operating up the entire Coast from California to \Mashington."
Chief Fitzgerald said he based his belief that the Seattle fire was incendiary on the the fact that the plant was ablaze in three difierent places when a watchman discovered it.
Thousands of' dollars worth of property has been destroyed during the last month in fires in seven Washington cities. Last Sunday a $275,000 fire destroyed the Eastern Railway and Lumber Co's. property in Centralia. Only 10 days previous in Chehalis, five miles away, the Palmer Lumber Yards and nearby property burned at a loss of $220,00O. Three nights later two waterfront buildings were destroyed at Vancouver, \Mash., with a loss set at $70,000.
Other fires occurred at Goldendale, Deming, Forks and Sellick, Washington.
"It is the belief of fire chiefs on the Coast that the fires are the work of an organized ring of saboteurs, who for some unexplained reason, are directing their attacks on the lumber industry, as in each of the fires a mill is involved," Chief Fitzgerald said.
The Forest Service has given its approval of a second "Trail Riders" trip into the High Sierra, sponsored by the American Forestry Association, and participated in by its members. The trip will start August 2A Irom the town of Bishop in the Owens Valley, and will last 13 days. It will be limited to 25 people, and will visit various famous forests in the }Iigh Sierra, crossing passes over 12,000 feet high, and viewing many peaks of over 14,000 feet altitude.
Fire recently destroyed 5,000,000 feet of bucked logs in the woods belonging to Stimson Lumber Company, Forest Grove. Ore.
Los $ngeles easily held its position as second city nationally for the first six months of 1939. From January I to June 30, Los Angeles issued building permits totaling $39,401,810, as compared with $33,178,384 for the same months last year. For the first six months of this year building nationally gained 17.8 per cent over the same months of the year before.
On July 27 an army of more than one thousand men fought a fire for five hours that destroyed eighteen million feet of lumber and threatened a big lumber plant. Fire broke out early in the morning in the yard of the Feather River Lumber Company near Portola, California. Five hundred of the mill crew and five hundred volunteers fought the fire stubbornly. The big box factory caught fire several times, and each time the fire fighters put out the flames. The fire was finally wiped out after five hours hard fighting, but not until eighteen million feet of lumber had been consumed. The loss is more than $15O,00O. The headquarters of the firm is in Denver.
Gus Hoover, of Los Angeles, is starting his two sons to learn something about lumber. The oldest son, Bob, who is a Stanfard graduate, is piling boards at the mill at Scotia, learning about Redwood the hard way. The younger son, Dick, who has one more year to go at Stanford, is working irr his father's office in Los Angeles.
The annual Western Conference for Commercial and Trade Executives was held at Stanford University July 23 to 28 with the largest attendance in its history.

The only worthwhile things that have come to us in this life have come through work that has always been hard, and often bitter. We believe that this has always been true of mankind and that it always will be true. We believe not in how little work, but how much; not in hour few hours, but how many. America must not grow soft. -J. Kindleberger.
Religious notice in Southern newspaper one hundred years ago:
The Reverend Mr. Blaney will preach next Sunday in Dempsey's Grove at 1O o:clock A.M., and at 4 o'clock P.M. Between sermons, the preacher will run his sorrel mare, Julia, against any nag that can be trotted out in this region, for a purse of $10o.

Before I ever heard of "flu," each year I had a cold or tqto, But used goose grease and turpentine, and very soon the cold was fine.
Now every time I catch a cold, it is the "flu," relentless, bold, And forty-seven medicines can't break its strangle hold.
I wish that I had never heard Of "flu," which whips me with a word. I might be sadly out of date, but say, I'd be a lucky bird.
Cheeriness is a thing to be more profoundly grateful for than all that genius wer inspired or talent ever accomplished. Next to natural, spontaneous cheeriness, is deliberate, intended, and persistent cheeriness, which we can create, can cultivate, and can foster and cherish so that after a few years the world will never suspect that it was not a hereditary gift.-Helen Hunt Jackson.
In July, 1775, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to Williarn Strahan, a member of the British Parliament, whom he had lnrown for years, and with whom he had fallen out. The letter was shortened like a Roman sword, and sharp. ened to a fine point. It read:
"You and I were long friands. You are now my enemy, and I am Yours, B. Franklin."
To those who think, as they travel life's road, This beautiful secret is known, That whenever we lift another man's load. In some way we lighten our own.
Not one of us is without worries of some kind. But worrying never solves any problems. Worry eats into a man's mind; affects his disposition; afrects his ability to work well and safely. Some things deserve our attention. Others should be ignored. Decide what should be ignored and what should be faced with absolute frankness: and don't worry about either.
The officer came upon a colored driver who was giving his horse a severe beating, trying to make him pull.
"Don't whip him that way," the officer said. "Talk to him."

"Mistuh hawse! Ah comes fum New Orleans. Whah does you come fum?"

Frank M. Wise, branch yard supervisor for patten-Blinn Lumber Company, Los Angeles, passed away suddenly in his office in Los Angeles, on August 7, as the result of a heart attack.
His death came as a grbat shock to his fellow workers and to his many friends. He ryas one of the best informed lumbermen in the country and one of the finest men in the business.-
Having been in the lumber business almost continuously since he went to work for Nafziger Bros. Lumber Co. at 8th and Main Streets, Los Angeles, in 1904, his experience and ability made him a very valuable man and his place will be hard to fill.
Ife was born in Gobleville, Mich., in 1888, and moved with his parents to California when he was three years of age. He started to work for Patten-Davies Lumber Company at the Sapta Monica yard in August 1911, became manager there in 1915, remaining in that position until 1918 when he resigned to go with Killefer Mfg. Corp. After two years he returned to his old firm and was sales manager fr,om l92l to 1927, resigning to become associated with the United States Building & Loan Association. In 1931 he came back to manage the Beverly Hills yard for a year and was again manag'er of the Santa Monica yard from 1932 until April 1 of this year when he was made branch yard supervisor.
IIe is survived by his widow, Mrs. Daisy Elizabeth Wise, one son, Robert, and his father Chauncey A. Wise.
For many years Mr. Wise had been very active in Freemasonry. He had also served the Santa Monica Kiwanis Club as its president and the Santa Monica-Ocean Park Chamber ol Commerce as a director.
Funeral services were held in Santa Monica on Thursday, August 10.
Alvin N. Lofgren, 53, of San Francisco, well known wholesale lumberman, died in San Francisco, August 5, following an operation.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Louise A. Lofgren, and a brother, Adolph L. Lofgren.
Mr. I-ofgren's first job in the lumber business was with the C. A. Smith Lumber Co., at Marshfield, Ore., which later became the Coos Bay Lumber Co. After working for these firms for many years he was with MacDonald & Harrington, San Fran,cisco, as a salesman for some time until he went into business for himself several years ago.
He was a member of Islam Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S.
Funeral services were held in San Francisco, August 7.
H. M. Cochran passed away in Zanesville, Ohio, August 3, 1939.

After his retirement he moved to Fort Monroe, Virginia, near his son, and in the latter part of. t932 moved to Ohio, his home state, where he resided until his death.
He leaves three sons, Captain Hugh M. Cochran, William R. Cochran and Dr. Claude T. Cochran.

Sixty-three new landing fields, many of them in remote sections of the national forests of California, are being mapped and examined this week by an aerial crew from United States Forest Service headquarters at San Francisco.
The survey has been inaugurated solely for the purpose of establishing improved facilities for the protection of national forest areas from fire, declared George M. Gowen, regional fire control chief. The examination of little known fields will continue at intervals throughout the next several weeks to determine limitations for aerial transportation of fire fighters, key overhead personnel and supplies into or adjacent to i,naccessible and hazardous mountain areas.
Under the direction of fire equipment engineer Fred Funke the crew is flying 3 fivg'place reconnaisance airplane contracted by the Forest Service. Areas that are being studied include small commercial and emerg'ency landing fields in addition to regular and proposed Forest Service fields. Working northward from national forests in southern Calif'ornia, the crew will follow up aerial studies with detailed examinations on the ground.
Mr. Gowen stated that the flying foresters are making the field examinations particularly with an eye on the future use of aircraft in forest fire suppression. All data cov: ering the current examinations will be made available to officials of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. At the present time five commercial airplanes are under contract for rush delivery of men and supplies to fire lines and for use as reconnaisance ships. Indication that the planes will see considerable service during the next three months is shown by official reports that California and most of western United States is well into one of the worst forest fire seasons in many years.

With the knowledge that sick human beings recover more quickly in an atmosphere of quiet, Veterinarian Eugene C. Jones has applied the same principle to'curing sick pets when he recently built and opened his attractive, new dog and cat hospital in Los Angeles. Rooms and corridors have been srpecially treated with cane fiber sound absorbing material which mufiles Fido's yelps, whines and barks.
A two story structure with attractive glass block ana gleaming white stucco walls, the hospital is streamlined in the latest building design and has the appearance of an ultra-m,odern sanitarium.
Most unusual feature within the building, in addition to the perfect lighting, room arrang'ement, ve.ntilating system and modern equipment, is the marked attention paid toward making life more comfortable for animal patients. One of these features is the remarkable absence of noise. It was purposely planned that waY.
According to statements made by Dr. Jones noise interferes with human welfare because it sets up a fear reaction. Noise causes muscles to become tense. Allowed to continue over a period of time it may often become detrimental to recovery. Animals, he points out, react in the same manner, but are affected more by noise because their {ear reactions are less subject to control by the brain. To avoid noise and hasten the cure of animals each cage, operating room, ward and kennel is treated with a tilelike (patented) perforated cane fiber material manufactured by
The Celotex Corporation, to reduce noise levels as low as possible.
The veterinarian equipment is as up-to-date as that of any hospital for humans. In addition to the surgery, pharmacy and consulting rooms, there are clipping, bathing and drying rooms, a skin ward a,nd a contagious ward.
On the second floor of the building are the cat wards, kitchen and quarters for the highly trained staff.
In many dog and cat hospitals, a yip from the most innocent puppy starts off a confusion of barks from other inmates that is worse than Bedlam. Excitement for that moment is rampant, enough so that the hospital staff frequently "get on edge." Customers have to shout to be heard whether waiting in the reception room or viervin$ their favorite pet. Here in Dr. Jones' new hospital, hushed quiet prevails.
Besides a pleasing, quiet interior there are other important appeals to animal comfort. A grand "scamper" area on the roof is provided for'convalescents during that trying "post-operative" period. An up-to'date kitchen with com' plete equipment offers scientifically prepared food. Consultation rooms are as well appointed for privacy and in' dividual diagnosis as any modern hospital for humans'
A common saying is that "every dog has his day." In this "doggy" hospital he finds that and m61g-hs gets comfort and quiet in addition !

Center of attraction at an Indiana meeting on Tested Selling Methods last week was Harold D. Campbell, who brought to Indiana Lumber and Builders Supply Association the distinction of putting through the twenty-fifth hundred enrollment for the Merchandising Institute's sales development program.- Mr. Campbell's enrollment lvas entered early in June-one of more than thirty men enrolled by the Wilkinson Company, Inc. of' Indianapolis, Indiana.
Roland W. Slagle, Secretary of the Indiana Association, says, "Arizona got the honor of putting through enrollment number one, but we are glad as we approach the trvo hundred mark in enrollments from Indiana to record enrollment number 250O from our Association.
"Harold D. Campbell, agent of the Sullivan, Indiana branch of the Wilkinson Company, Inc., the local branch being known as the Allen A. Wilkinson Lumber Co., has completed his nineteenth year of service, having started with the company February 2, Ign as a yard man unloading cars, stacking lumber, and familiarizing himself with the stock. Before a year was up, he was advanced and placed in the office as Order and Estimating Clerk. On July l, 1923, he became manager of the yard in Sullivan, and has served in that capacity since that time.
"Mr. Campbell attended college in Franklin, Indiana, and was engaged in farming prior to coming with Wilkinson.
"When questioned as to his opinion of Tested Selling Methods, he stated, 'I think this is the most practical course ever offered to anyone engaged in selli,ng. Regardless of how long anyone has been engaged in selling, this course will be well worth the time and cost.'
"Paralleling Mr. Campbell's comment in enthusiasm, are comments we are getting from all association members who are enrolled. The further they get into the program, the more we hear of sales closed at fair prices through the use of Tested Selling Methods."

Importance 'of this move to American lumbermen lies in the fact that if the framing in light construction, such as dwellings, is based on a minimum bending strength of 800 pounds per square inch, which would be along lines already marked out by the Building By-Laws of the London City Council, then all American softwoods would be entirely suitable for British construction purposes.
It is also assumed that wherever grades are recommended for European softwoods by the British authorities, comparable recommended grades will be given for American softwoods.
The American lumber industry has prepared material to be presented at the Fifth International Conference on Timber Utilzation at Zurich, August D, when grading and sorting of lumber from the viewpoint of building construction will be one of the topics of consideration.

New and more extensive uses that are being found daily for Douglas fir plywood, together with a steadily growing demand in the domestic and foreign markets for the "engineered lumber," combine to make plywood production in the United States one of the most important trends in the lumber industry today, according to the Forest Products Division, Department of Commerce.
One of the oldest lumber manufacturing process known to man, plywood was produced by the Chinese thousands of years ago, and is found in the furniture of the ancient Egyptians. Its production commercially in the United States did not begin until 1905. Thirty-two years later, however, the plywood industry, reached an all-time peak of production of.725,W,000 square feet and represented a $25,000,000 investment.
That the United States is becoming increasingly "plywood conscious" is known by the increased consumption in the domestic market, which absorbs about 90 per cent of the total production.
A striking demonstration of plywood's versatility is currently demonstrated at the Golden Gate International Exposition at San Francisco, where over ten million square feet of the material have been used. The exterior of the Federal Building and the 104-foot towers of the Colonnade of States show the adaptability of plywood as an exterior finish. Plywood is also used at the Exposition in the construction of many models and dioramas.
The United States government, through the Public Buildings branch of the Procurement Division, is using considerable quantities of plywood. It has been found of value in the construction of experimental buildings of the Farm Security Administration of the Agriculture Department. A notable example of the strength and durability of plywood was shown durng the September hurricane last year, when the partially completed United States Coast Guard Station at Eaton's Neck, Long Island, N. Y., withstood the high wind which demolished completely other buildings in the vicinity.
Stimulation of low cost housing construction in the United States has reacted favorably on the plywood mar-

ket. In t937 of $45,500,000 worth of plywood-about ten per cent of the production-went into ready cut and portable houses. Construction of tanks, vats, and battery separators also consumed vast amounts of the "engineered" Iumber.
Payrolls in the plywood industry last year totaled $7,500,000 and listed more than 5,000 employees.
While the export market for plywood is only ten per cent of total production in the United States, this trade is important. More than 4O foreign countries are importers of North Pacific plywood and their consumption acts as a stabilizer of the home industry so that seasonal shutdowns are minimized.

With the forest fire season for the country as a whole at the halfway mark, the number of fires in National Forests to date has surpassed the number for the same period last year, and also the averag'e number for the comparable period in the years from t934 to 1938, according to last minute compilations by the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
While scarcity of rain in the past few weeks, combined with generally high temperature in most regions, is the chief cause for the reported increase in forest fires, Forest Service records show a seven percent rise in man-caused fires this year over the number for the first half of the fire season last year. This year, 4,474 fires, or 70 percent of the total reported, have been man-caused. The comparable figures for 1938 were 4,032, or 63 percent.
Though mainly in the West, National Forests are located in 40 States and two territories, with Federal forests in almost every section of the country except the Great Plains regions of the Middle West. Thus, the National Forest fire record gives a roughly accurate picture of the forest fire situation throughout the country.
The records show that for the first half of this year there have been a total of 59 fires which individually burned over more than 300 acres in the National Forests, while in 1938 up to the corresponding date there were but 44 6res of this size, and for the same period in 1937 only 41. The total number of forest fires on land under the protection of the Forest Service has been 6,4O5 to date, while the number for the same period last year was 6,379, and the average for the same period in the years from 1934 to 1938 was 6,195.
As to area burned over in National Forests and adjoining privately-owned land under Forest Service protection, the records indicate that so far this year 549 acres per million acres protected were burned over, that the comparable

figure for last year was only 4O7, but that the average for the same periods in the years 1934-1938 was 602
The section of the country in greatest danger of forest fires includes Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming. So far this year D,474 acres have been burned over which establishes a record for the region. Three new fires were reported burning in other parts of the region.
Prolonged ho't, dry weather has brought the fire hazard in the Rocky Mountain region up sharply this year, as compared with previous years. So far this year there have been 286 forest fires in this area, while in 1938 up to the same date there were only 99, and the yearly average for the same periods in the years 1934-1938 was but 146. Because of the serious fire situation in the region, Roy Headley, Chief of the Division of Fire Control in the Forest Service, has interrupted a trans-continental inspection trip to remain in the central Rocky Mountains while the present danger continues.
New large-scale fires were reported burning in Oregon and California (as of July 25). Flames were said to be sweeping over 14,000 acres in two fires on the Siskiyou and Fremont National Forests in Oregon, both believed to have been caused by smokers. In the California fires 20,000,000 feet of sugar and ponderosa pine on 11,500 acres is reported destroyed.
More than 3dO State and WPA workmen are employed on the final stages of the improvements in the State Fair grounds at Sacramento which will cost $700,000 in the period since the 1938 fair was held.
It is stated that 25 carloads of lumber have been used in construction of new buildings and for the remodeling of the pari-mutuel facilities.
Humboldt County will add to its usually interesting display an animated deer hunting scene.
The State Fair will run from September 1 to 11.
