it mahogany, because it has the looks, the appearance, the grain and all of the things that go to make up mahogany."

The _man making thb above statement is one of ttre laigest dealers in hardwood on the Coast and his opinion should have some weight. ff you are interested, look up the definilon.of mahogany in Webster's Dictionary, New English Dictionary and History of 1903, or the Encyclopedia Airericana, 1903 edition, and see for yourself whit thlse authorities have to say on the subject.

_ I_agree, however, that where th-e terms Mahogany, pine, Cedar or any other term is used in its commerJial iense it should always- have the prefix or qualifying adjective used to tell its origin. The manufattureis and dealeis in philippine -Mahogany want the prefix used as they are rathir plo_ud of the name and do not want"their product confused with other mahoganies.

Surely, after a term has been in constant use for twelve or fifteen years the public should be well enough informed as to its_mganing to eliminate any chance of deception. The United States Department of Commerce, Bureai of Agri- culture, the Interstate Commerce Commissio4, the Natijnal Hardwood Lumber Association and the tumber trade in general have been using the term for that number of yebrsOn what authority does the Federal Trade Commission take on itself the high handed policy of correcting the use of terms used by other departments of the Federal Government?

Philippine Mahogany is a product of a United States possessioq, it is manufactured under favorable circumstances as regards labor and mechanical devices, enters the United States free of duty and under these circumstances is permitted to be sold at reasonable prices, giving the people of this country a valuable and beautiful wood at a much lower cost than other mahoganies from foreign countries obtained and manufactured under the reverse of the conditions applying in the case of Philippine Mahogany.

In closing, allow me to make one more quotation from Commissioner Humphrey's report:

"To preveni the use of the term 'Philippine Mahogany' in this case will not protect the public because it is not injured and has not complained. Only its competitor objects to its use. It will not be in the public interest because it $'ill tend to give the Mahogany Association a monopoly of the American markets; it wiU tend to increase the price of mahogany to the consumer, and will greatly injure the Philippine Mahogany industry in this country."

Photographic Grading Rules For Northwest

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association is preparing to issue photographic grading rules covering Northwesteri lumber p.roduced_ by its members. The photographs have been made, and the booklet is in the process oi mit ing.

.I"gty grade of every species. of ^lumber commerclally sold-by.the Association members, will be shown ptotd- graphically, so that the prospective buyer can.look over the pictu.res .and g-et a 'oery excellent iciea of the average lumber that he will get in each grade and species, and cin thus determine for himself, if a new user of Northwestern lumber, which grades and items suits his purposes best.

This is a most intelligent piece of work on the part of the Association that will do a whole lot of good.

This method of illustrating lumber grades probably originated with a California white pine concern. Many years ago The McCloud River Lumber Company, of Mdloud, California, issued their own grading rules in this fashion, and they made a great hit.
