Again the great usefulness of the retail lumberman comes to light. A firm that has made a big success of a line of builders hardware, told i'ne the other day that his success really started when he quit trying to sell builders hardware through the hardware dealer, and went in to sell it through lumber channels instead. He now sells exclusively through theretail lumber dealer and the local planing mill, and found there cooperation and effective cooperation that he tried in vain to get from ,1"
store.
The building trade is the natural and normal route for the sale of builders hardrnrare. The hardware is a natural sales adjunct to the building material itself, and the live building merchant that doesn't sell the builders hardware also, is simply overlooking a fine profit-making bet. And he is oftentimes depriving his trade of a service they are entitled to, because the local hardware store may have the particular hardware they need hid away under a table, or in a back room. The firm I quoted above found that their gOods were unknown in certain towns, although handled by the leading hardware stores. When they switctred to the lumber dealer and millwork 1*;" great demand sprang up.
Same way with many other things. Paint, for instance. No doubt on earth but that the ideal place to buy and sell paint to go on buildings and on building materials, is from the lumber dealer. This has been demonstrated in thousands of places in the last ten years. The man who sells the building material is the ideal man to sell the decorative and protective paint. HE has a direct interest in seeing that the builder uses the right paiat to cover his lumber. A good board, with the wrring paint covering, is ruined. Remember the old building adage: "A board and a nail and a can of paint, make many a place look new-that ain't". And the man who sells the board, should sell the nail, and the can of paint also, and all the other materials of like character that go into the building. Stock, display, and sell the builders hardware, and the paint. There's money in it for you, and there's service in it for your customer. And those are the two things you want to achieve.
A California lumberman told the lumber manufacturers of the Northwest the other day that-"there is a great Potential market for all wood interiors in the living rooms of homes, and for shakes and heavy sawn shingle roofs". Two great merchandising thoughts that appeal to me veny much indeed. I recited the fact in this colu'mn not long ago that the most beautiful walls I have ever set eyes on were to be found in the living rooms of modest apartments in South'
ern California, made from low grade hardwoods, and done on the job by ordinary carpenters who had been shown how, the idea and the materials both being sold by a lumber dealer. If you could sho,tv such rooms in every town in this country, and shqw them how to duplicate those walls,,they could be sold by the tens of thousands. The hardwood supply would be exhausted in a few months supplying the demand. No doubt about that whatever, in my mind.
**:f
The Red River Lumber Company, of Westwood, Cdifornia, onp of the most progressive lumber manufacturing institutions in existence, are going farwith thoughts and materials for furnishing wood interiors, and supplying some of the demand that the California lumberman referred to. They make an all pan€led room, furnishing the entire job from a blue print, ready finished, tinted, etc., needing only to be nailed to the wall. There will be lots of that sort of building service in days to come.

The day of the general use of the wood panel is almost here. Why not? Great sheets of wood, all in one piece, beautifully grained, susceptible to anysort of desirable finish. What could be more of a service giver than that? The day is practically at hand when wooden panels will be sold everywhere, in town and hamlet throughout the land. They should be stocked by every retailer, displayed, and their wonderful utility demonstrated. Wide boards for every use, at economical prices. Built scientifically, the core so made as to prevent buckling, warping, cracking, etc., to which wide boards sawn from big logs are suscetr> tible. For shelves, sheeting, paneling, decorating, building.

I saw something new the other day, spite of the fact that theold adage disclaims that anything CAN be. I saw a practical casement window. No foolin'. You all know that a casement window, PERFECTED, would be a wonderful thing in the home building business. But, so far as I have previously discovered, there has never been any such thing. A perfect casement must be watertite, must be washable from the inside, must stay set at any angle of opening, must handle easily, and the hardware must neither rust nor wear. There never was such a thing before, but there is NOW. And it means that the casement window will become popular. It will be particularly wonderful in warm climates.

What happens when you cut openittgr in a flush door? Perhaps it will stand up, straight and true. Per Per haps it will warp and twist. ftcps it will go to pieces altogether. The larger the openings the greater the risk.

The lumber business and the building industry have had a slow year this year, nationally speaking. And there was never a time when the situation was so thoroughly simple to diagnose. Neither the mind of a sage nor the discernment of a psychic is needed to explain it. The blanlety blank stock market is the one and only answer. With the whole nation from the office boys to the corporation heads and including all the ranges between indulging themselves in the simple little game of trying to guess what some stock will do next, how caq there be money or time for extensive building? The auto industry is doing well because the fellow who makes a stake this week generally buys a new car. He hasn't time to build a house. But most other industries are on "the Fritz".

Speaking of the great and usually underestimateci value of "cash discount", the National A.ssociation of Credit Men has compiled a table that illustrates graphlcally how big this little item grows to be when taken over the course of a year. Here it is:
lVo l0 days, net 30 days, equals lSVo pq annutn.
4o LO days, net 30 days, equals 36/s'per annuul
4o t0 days, riet 60 days, equals l4/s per annum.
4o 30 day, net 60 days, equals 24!s per annum.
9'o l0 days, net 30 days, equals 54/s per annum.
For instance, ?/s 10 days, net 30 days, means the buyer is allowed 10 days, so when he takes 30 days he pays at the rate of 4o f.ot 2O days use of his money. There are eighteen 20-day periods in the year, so twice 18 is 36/6. It sure runs into money.

H. V. Cowan, Inc., has out a very keen and interesting little piece of advertising literature in the shape of an envelope stuffer. It is printed sharply on orange colored paper and offers two hundred and seventy-six reasons for the lumber dealer featuring Cowan Custom-Built-In Cabinets. There follows a series of seventy-six statements, each one avalid reason for the lumber merchant selling Cowan goods. Andat the end in big type it announces that the other two hundred reasons are the two hundred dealers that are now featuring this line of goods.
After giving careful consideration to the question as to whether they should grade-mark their timbers the grade ordered or the actual grade shipped, the Central Coal & Coke Company have decided to grade-mark all their timbers the actual grade shipped.
This information is contained in a letter dated August 28 from Harry T. Kendall, general sales manager of the Central Coal & Coke Company, Kansas City, to the Santa Fe Lumber Company, San Francisco, distributors in California and Arizona of C. C. & C. C. products.
In this letter Mr. Kendall stated that it would be manifestly unfair to the better grade of timbers to grade a Select Common or Structural timber No. 1 Common simply because it is shipped on a No. 1 Common order, and that they believed their customers will soon learn the particu- lar grade which best suits their trade by having their attention called to the exact grade of timbers shipped.

New York, Sept. 3.-Business in general moves steadily and confidently along, and making allowance for a few "soft spots," general prosperity is still an undeniable fact, according to the Nati,onal Association of Credit Men.
The September bulletin of the association's executive manager, says that "it is impossible to see how business, both wholesale and retail, can suffer any serious reverse while the underlying factors of prosperity continue on their present sound and satisfactory basis."
The bulletin says: "The expression 'increase over the totals of last year' has to be used frequently, in many lines of production and distribution.
"The full import of this fact appears only when we recall that 1928 was itself a record year in many industries. Manufacturing output, which the Department of Commerce regards as the most comprehensive measure of economic activity, in 1928 went three per cent beyond the previous peak of 1926, and five per cent over 1927.
"Thrift and industry are earning generous returns. According to Department of Commerce figures, dividends and interest paid to holders of principal American securities during the trst half of l9D totaled approximately $3,265,545,000, as compared with $2,876,405,000 for the first half of 1928.
"The Department of Labor, on the basis of reports from about 13,000 concerns in 54 industries, shows that manufacturing payrolls are running about 10 per cent ahead of last year.
"Iron and steel production in July set up a new high record for that month. Normally, hot weather brings a marked reduction in plant operation, but this summer the decline was much smaller than in preceding years.
"Decreased takings of steel by the motor car manufacturers have been more than offset by heavy buying of steel pipe and rolling stock for the railroads.
"Pig iron production in July established a new record for the month, being t'wo per cent higher than in June. Larger production in July than in June has not been recorded since 1923.
"Automobile mahufacture has continued at record-breaking levels. The output of medium and high priced cars declined somewhat, due largely to factory shutdowns in order to adjust ,machinery for making new models, but these losses were made up by increased production of smaller cars.
"Manufacturers of parts and accessories have shared in the general activity and the prosperity resulting from it. The production of a half-million cars and trucks in the United States and Canada in July clearly indicates that forecasts made early in the yea.-*ere not tbo optimistic.
"Building construction, after several months on a descending scale, took another spurt in July. when total contracts in the 37 states east of the Rocky Mountains, according to Dodge figures, totaled $652,436,100. This was the second largest monthly total on record, and showed an increase of 12 per cent over the total for July, 192f., and, of 20 per cent over June, 1929."
In a special survey covering California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah, the education and research department of the association finds that 72 per cent of reporting concerns had larger sales in July than in June, while the remaining 28 per cent reported smaller volume. Comparing July, l9D, with July, 1928, 7l per cent had larger volume and 29 per cent smaller volume in July of this year.
Eighty per cent had larger collections in July, l9D, than in the preceding month. Seventy-four per cent indicated larger volume of receivables outstanding on August l, l9D, as compared with outstandings on August l, lgn. Fewer business failures in the next six months were anticipated by 52 per cent. For the next six months, 64 per cent look for improved sales and collections, while 27 per cent expect no change and nine per cent anticipate less favorable conditions.
The survey say,s that reports from these Western states are particularly favorable. Cr'op prospects are good in Idaho, Oregon and Washihgton, and are fair in Utah and California, according to the survey.
Nothing else can develop the exterior beauty of line and contour which harmonizes so well with garden and landscape.
No other material will furnish the friendly, homey warmth of interior. An atmosphere of informality and intimacy goes with natural Redwood interiors.
By C. V. Pinkerton, Chaiflnan of Committee on Legislation, The California Retail Lumbennen'g Association.
On February 18, 1929, when the Legislature convened after the constitutional r:ecess, a survey showed ninetyfour bills introduced in this session which had direct or indirect bearing on the work of the members of this Association.
Your representative at Sacramento investigated and kept in touch with these measures to see that no amendments were introduced which might have an adverse effect on your work, and also concentlated on these which seemed of rnost importance.
The Bills introduced had a direct bearing on Mechanics' Liens, Street Improvements, Bad Checks, Recording Lease Contracts, Contractors' Registration Act and Bidders' Prequalifications, Credit Bureaus and Investigations.
Two of the Street Improvement bills, A. B. 367 and 451, as introduced would have given no protection to machinery dealers and others furnishing certain supplies in connection with his work. These we were successful in having amended so as to give adequate protection to these deafers. These measures have been signed by the Governor.
Eight Bills were introduced in connection with different sections of the Mechanics' I-ien provisions. Of these one bill was not taken from the Committee. Two Bills, A. B. 88 and A. B. 785, were defeated. The strong fight was made on A. B.88, but the opposition to this bill, which opposition was largely due to the misunderstanding of the intent and purpose of the bill, and the necessity forits introduction, defeated it. A. B. 785 was defeated largely for the same reasons.
Five bills passed the Assembly and Senate and were sent to the Governor for approval. Of these, three A. 8.786,787 and 789 have been signed by the Governor and will become effective August L4th, IgD.
A. B. 786 is the most important of these three which amends Section 1183 of the Code of Civil Procedure to overcome certain evils which have grown up out of the writing of Labor and Material Bonds. This new measure does away with the custom of combining labor and material bonds with completion bonds and the setting forth in the bonds conditions precedent and conditions subsequent as to the right of r€covery thereon. Under this Amendment no conditions beyond the control of the laborer, sub-contractor or materialman can affect recovery on the part of the laborer, sub-contractor or materialman, except an intent to defraud on the part of those attempting to recover under the bond.
The Amendment also provides that if the contractual period under which recovery may be made is less than the statutory period of four years, the bond must be recorded. Where the bond is recorded, the contract time may be shortened to six months, in which case the persons claiming
recovery under the bond must bring their claim to the attention of the Surety writing the bond. Where the bond is not recorded the time limit of the ordinary Statute of Limitations on written instruments is applicable.
This Amendment also makes clear that the materialman, sub-contractor and laborer has a lien for the work of grading and filling in a lot or tract of land. At the p_resent time Se-ction 1191 has to do with this subject. The Courts have held under that Section that only the original or direct contractor with the owner has this lien right and that materialmen, sub-contractors and laborers are not protected.
This Amendment also makes it clear that thi landscape gardener has a lien for his installations and services in connection with the original work of improvement.
It also gives a right of lien for the demolishing of structures for such purpbses as creating an auto park or for the removal of buildings to clear property. Nolien exists at the present time to cover this type of work.
This Amendment also provides that the bond is to be construed in favor of the persons for whose benefit the bond is given, and that the Court will not have to follow the old doctrine of favoring the Sureties, which has been done since the days of volunteer Sureties who acted for their friends, and which custom has become obsolete owing to the growth of the Surety Companies organized to take care of this phase of modern business.
There are provisions providing if the Bond is filed for record, that in order to recover against the Sur'ety, the laborer. sub-contractor, or materialman mtlst either file his lien within the time required by law or must give actual notice to the Surety of the existence of his claim within that same time limit, as a condition precedent to recovery on the bond.
Assembly Bill 787 refers to Sections 1187 and 1188 and establishes the time for filing a lien if notice of completion is recorded. This will now be within thirty days after the completion of such work of improvement as a whole.
It also requires the addresses of the owner together with the name of the contractor, if any.
It further provides that where one building is erected on more than one lot or parcel of land owned by one or more different owners, it shall not be the duty of the lien claimant to segregate the proportion of material or labor entering into the structure on any certain parcel, but upon trial thereof the Court may, il it deems it equitable so to do, distribute the lien equitably as between the several parcels involved, provided further that persons interested as owners of, encumbrances on, contractors or subcontractors, may be joined in one action to foreclose the liens referred to.
Also in the case of filing claims where a contract is entered into, covering several buildings on the same parcel of

^A,t the beginning of ttingr, when the world was young, the donkey war ecteemed by all the tribes of men'ab the wirert of dnimele.
The good Sheik Et-Sta-Shrm-Air ovmed e great herd of there ragacious beaste, which war the pride and joy of hir life.
Other Sheike came from all arorurd to lirten and marvel at the wisdorD of the herd. At cuch a time Game e,ven the Prophet himrelf-mort Iearned and wire of all the sonr of the East. With much glowing pride El-Sta-Shun-Air led him out to the herd and raid:
"Behold, O Prophet, the wise and talented asses. Converre with thenr" test them, and cee if they are not verily wiser than forty treer full of owlg.t'
Then tte Prophet addrecsed the a.sses. "Let us tect yorn wisdomr" raid he. "Aruwer me this quection: what rhould an a8r require for a three dayr' jowney?"
And they counselled arrrong themrelves and then made reply: "For a three dayst journey, O Prophet, any as! rhould require six burdles of hay and three bagl of dates."
"Very goodrt' quoth the Prophet, ttthat roundc& like a fair and prop€r price." Whereupon El-StaShrm-Air broke into loud chucklee and nid: !'Did I not tell you ttey are parring wige?"
The Prophet answered, "Waitr" and he agbin addre*ed tfie arses. "I have one foi'your" hd raidl "three dayst journey, but I will not give you six bundlec of hay and three begr of dater for making it. Let him who will go for ler, stand forth."
And behold, they all stood forth and began to ta& at once. One would go for six bundles of hay and one bag of datee, until finally one erpecially long-eared'ase agreed to go for one bundle of hay.
Then spoke the Prophet: "Fooln" quoth hq, "you cannot even livefor tlrree days on one bundle of han muc[ lerl profit from the journey."
ttTruer" replied the long-eared one, ttbut I wanted the order."
.And from that far-off day to this, asser have been known as foolr, and price-cutters have been known aa lltet' -.vq6 ttripsr" Kanras city.
Edgar W. Morrill has just been appointed technical service director of the insulating board division of the Chicago Mill & Lumber Corp., of Chicago. He was formerly with the Insulite Co. in similar and other'executive capacities.
Mr. Morrill will be in charge of the service which the Chicago Mill & Lumber Corp. gives architects, contractors and other builders and will conduct free of charge, a complete technical and industrial engineering department which answers questions and works out various problems for clients.
H. W. Cole, vice-president and general manager of The Little River Redwood Companv, Crannell, was a visitor to San Francisco, August 27.
The executive committee of the Associated Leaders of Lumber and Fuel Dealers of America has selected October 2l and 22 as the dates fortheir annual convention. The meeting will be held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Ill. Discussions at the convention will be confined to the merchandising and financing problems of the lumber retailer.
ArthurA. Hood is president of the Associated Leaders of Lumber and Fuel Dealers of America.

land, the amounts due for work done and material furnished on such buildings may be estimated for each building separately.
Assembly Bill 789 amends Section ll97 and provides for an attachment either in an action to foreclose his lien or in a separate action against the'person 'personally liable for such debt. This clarifies a point which has caused difficulty by reason of the fact that certain County Clerks did not understand that an Attachment could be issued in the same action.
In addition to the above a resolution was passed calling for the appointment of a' Committee to consist of three members of the Assembly and three members of the Senate
to investigate the necessity for changes in Mechanics' Lien Law and report at the next Session of the Legislature.
In the closing days of the Session an attempt was made to amend one section which would have been very detrimental, but by being on the ground this was defeated. No advetse legislation removing any of the protection already had, was passed.
The work done was with the cooperation of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association of Los Angeles, California, Mill Work Institute, California Nlanufacturers As-' sociation, The State Department of Labor, and should be very beneficial to all interests connected with the construction industry.
The 1932 Convention of the United States League of Building and Loan Associations has been definitely secured for California and will be held in Los Angeles, according to delegates of the California Building-Loan League who attended the 37th annual conclave of the national organization held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Grand Rapids, Michigan, was selected as the site of the 1930 convention.
R. Holtby Myers, Secretary, Los Angeles Mutual Building and Loah Association, was named Vice-President for the ensuing year. This will result in a Californian heading the centennial celebration of the founding of the mov€ment to be held in Philadelphia in 1931, if the usual custom of elevating officers is followed. Ray Gillingham, of the Mutual Building and Loan Association of l.ong Beach, won first place in the national five minute speaking contest. California also received first honors in the Buildirrg and Loan Advertising contest, with entries by the various State Leagues.
Considerable interest developed at the convention over a revision of the constitution whicfr mainly concerned the management of the League's business. The Executive Committee'-under the-eonstitution, witrl consist of members of the Board of Directors, the State Vice-Presidents and the past League President. Tihis Committee will name twelve Directors, one from each of the Federal Reserve districts. This group under the new order will make up the administrative body of the League, and will meet four
times during the year. A committee of seven was appointed to study taxation as it affects the home owner.
Declaring that in deposits the building and loan movement in the United States today had gone beyond the eight billion-dollar-mark, President Walter F. McDowell, predicted the movement would assume giant proportions within the next five years, with deposits easily totaling twentyfive billions of dollars.
At the opening of the second half of the year the nation had more than 13,000 building and loan associations, aEcording to a report to the convention by the National Secretary, H. F. Cellarius of Cincinnati. Total membership now exceeds twelve million, or a gain of 660,000 mem,bers during the past twelve months' period. Resources increased by 12 per cent to $8,016,034,327, of which sum 91.5 per cent is invested in mortgage loans on homes. The amount of mortgage loans during the year was about two billion dollars, or about the same as in the previous year, the National Secretary stated.
The following officers were installed to serve for the coming year: Ernest A. Hale, Boston, Mass., President; R. Holtby Myers, Los Angeles, First Vice-President; William E. Best, Pittsburgh, Pa., Second Vice-President, and Ward B. Whitlock, Springfield, Ills., Third Vice-President. Herman F. Cellarius, Cincinnati, Ohio, former Secretarl, becomes Secretarv-Treasurer.. -

est hardwoods are used for fine wood-working today. The marketing of this wood from the standing timber to the finished product maybe said to be a modern problem I solved through the medium of power-driven methods of transportation, and that problem is vastly magnified through the general use of the power-driven wood-planting methods of manufacture. So today we enjoy the beautiful simplicity of modern interior paneling, floors and interior trimming-mill-dressed to enhance the natural beauties of the woodgrain.
Thus, what is lacking in sheer points of artistic accomplishment, from the standpoint of medieval hand-carving, is atoned for by the bringing to modern hardwood-working the resources of distant lands. Typical of the enterprises
repel you. And like some persons, some woods by lack of any personality are not even noticed.
As wood in its various forms and uses has entered so much into vour life and surroundings so has it for all men from early times. The Wood Age came before the Stone Age, some archaeologists assert. They have found crude but well-preserved specimens of wooden implements of early man in that treasure chest of antiquity, Egypt; although early wood products are less celebrated than stonework because less durable and, hence, the array of early examples extant, less pretentious. Primitive man, to say nothing of his more civilized successor, fashioned designs on the wooden articles he rvas accustomed to handle. Often he found the task so interesting and the material so workable that his zest for self-expression frequently rendered the implement he was making less effrcient, even usetress.
Wood craftsmanship rose to the sublime heights of immortal art in the last half of the fifteenth century. Equipped with only four necessary implements-gouge, chisel, "V"tool and mallet. the super-artisans of that golden age wiought their masterpieces on the choir stalls, beams and wall panelings of Gothic cathedrals.
As in the days of the finest wood carving, only the choic-
devoted to importing and marketing hardwood is the Western Hardwood Lumber Company, at Los Angeles. Within the kilns or store-houses of this firm is maintained a normal stock of 7,000,@0 board feet of hardwood, which comes to the yards from many parts of the world.
From Brazil and Argentina balsa and mahogany are obtained. From Japan the buyers obtain oak and birch. To Central America they go for the heaviest of woods, lignum vitae and a rich-grained mahogany. Various species of walnut are receivqd from France, Italy, and Turkey. Elephants help to bring out of the thick forests of Siam the heavy teak. An excellent hardwood called Philippine mahogany comes from the islands of that name. Africa sends mahogany and ebony, whilefrom the Mississippi valley come the domestic oak, maple, ash, gum and black walnut to add variety to the elaborate foreign collection.
Deliveries are made to all points in Southern California, necessitating the study of the most efficient methods of transportation. This firm was one of the first to adopt the motoi truck, and the second Moreland ever built 'was purchased by them. Recently their standardized Moreland fleet was augmented by a "Limited" equipped with pneumatic tires.
During the past two years the demand for Douglas Fir Plywood the world over has so far exceeded the expectations of the manufacturers that new and more scientifi'c methods of production are constantly being sought in an effort to satisfy this steadily increasing demand. So many new uses have been found for Douglas Fir Plywood that the process of manufacture has in many cases undergone drastic changes, thus enabling'new users of this wonderful building material to receive a product thoroughly satisfactory to their own particular requirements.
Most of the things which tend to influence the quality of plywood have been known with a fairly accurate degree of certainty, but so many new uses for Douglas Fir Plywood have been found within the past year or two, that m'anufacturers are exhausting every means to place in the users' hands a product which will clearly and definitely fill that particular demand, and at the same time a product on which no expense .has been spared to produce the highest known quality.
Plywood manufacturers have long known that the time consumed in assembling the several plies of veneer, the spreading of the glue, the moisture content of the stock used in the manufacture of plywood, as well as the temperature of the stock, the amount of pressure used in the pressing of the various veneers together, as well as a number of other factors, have all influenced the quality of their finished product, but just how far these factors have influenced the finished product and whether or not there were other counteracting agents have, in the past, been more or less unknown.
Many of the industries in this country have for a long time ascertained with considerable accuracy, the effect which various procedures in manufacturing have had on their finished product, and the demand of today has caused practically every industry to spend enormous sums in ti,me and money on research work, so that the buying trade may be furnished with a product adequately suited to its needs. In the past a great deal of work has been done by the individual Douglas Fir Plywood manufacturers, but there has
never been a concerted and comprehensive study of the Plywood manufacturing problems by all of the manufacturers as a group.
Due to the many new uses of Douglas Fir Plywood, the manufacturers have concluded that inasmuch as their problems of manufacturing are common ones that an exhaustive research w,ork must of necessity be carried on. With this in mind Messrs. I. F. Laucks. Inc.. chemists and manufacturers of Lauxein Waterproof Glues, located in Seattle, Washington, have extended their service to the Douglas Fir Plywood Manufacturers and have inaugurated a most systematic inspecting and testing service, the result of which it is hoped will be a continued improvement on the present high quality. of Douglas Fir Plywood.
Heretofore the above firm of chemists and manufacturers have devoted most of their time to seeing that their own particular brand of glue was properly mixed and advocating what they considered proper uses; but the manufacturers of both plywood and glue have such a common point in view, namely that of steadily increasing the quality of Fir plywood, that Messrs. I. F. Laucks, Inc., have undertaken this very progressive step in extending to the Douglas Fir Plywood manufacturers the service oftheir extensive research laboratory and competent inspectors.
The various manufacturing operations will be constantly checked and samples periodically secured for strictest examinations and testing. Compilations of data will be secured from a large number of different manufacturing plants, and a comprehensive study of this data on the part of the manufacturer lvill at once enable him to improve on his present methods, should improvement be necessary. Those Douglas Fir Plywood manufacturers availing themselves of this data and service will be able to furnish both present and nelv users of Douglas Fir Plywood with more copplete data concerning the properties of Douglas Fir Plywood to a practically accurate degree, and will be able to institute with full confidence the correct methods of manufacture for each particular need. Such action on the part of the ,manufacturers is bound to reflect in the steadily increasing quality of the finished product.

Cub was a lovable chap who had deeply rooted ties of affection in the hearts of the community where he had lived from early boyhood. He had grown up in Westwood, graduated from the grammar and high schools and upon his return from college had plunged into work in the Land Department of The-Red Ri"eiLumber Company. His friendships were made without regard for rank or position and his ready laugh, his kindness and warm-hearted sincerity made these very close.
Upon his graduation from Stanford in 1927, with Kenneth, who was a senior at the same college, Cub spent most of the following year in Africa. The Walker-Arbuthnut hunting and exploration expedition was organized with Dr. Arbuthnut of Pittsburgh, Pa., with whom the boys had hunted in Alaska the previous year. Many valuable specimens were secured for Stanford and other museums and the motion Bictures taken en route have been edited and released for national exhibition under the title. "The Dark Heart of Africa."
Cub was very active in community affairs, a member of the Westwood Fire Department and vice-president of the Hoo Hoo Club. IIe was always ready to give his time and efforts to any cause or activity that would help his fellows, individually or collectively.
Born in Minneapolis 25 years ago, Cub came to Westwood with his parents at the beginning of construction work on the plant and town in 1913. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher L. Walker, his brothers, Theodore S., Kenneth and Norman, reside in Westwood.

"Retail lumber dealers all over the country are taking a great new interest in built-in kitchen equipment, and this ls greatly due to better advertising and merchandising, and better methods of distribution on the part of the manufacturer," said Ray B. Cox, vice-president and general manager of the Built-In Fixture Co., Berkeley, manufacturers of "Peerless" Built-In Furniture, recently to a representative of this paper.
"It is also due in no small measure to Jack Dionne's fine editorials in The California Lumber Merchant and The Gulf Coast Lumberman, urging lumber dealers to interest themselves in the sale of built-in furniture of all kinds."
Mr. Cox returned on September 1 from an extended trip which occupied seven weeks, in the course of which he visited points in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, North and Sorrth Carolina and Ohio. He also visited Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and Salt Lake City, and took time to visit his old home torvn irr Eastern Pennsylvania. He found much interest in the Home Modernizing' movement everywhere he went.
In Texas Mr. Cox traveled over the territory by automobile, starting at San Antonio, and going to Houston and Galveston, then north to Waco and Dallas. From Dallas he drove to Shreveport, La., and from there went by train. He was interested in the great new road development program in Texas. and found business good all over the State, with excellent prospects for the balance of the year.
Robert F. Elder of Berlin, N. H. was the winner of the first prize of $1000 in the Alvan T. Simonds economic contest for 1928 on the subject "Reducing the Costs of Distribution." This is not the only prize thatMr. Elder has won as the result of his essay submitted in this contest. He has just been appointed instructor in marketing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The authorities at this institution writethat "Mr. Elder came to our attention as the result of his prize-winning essay. We probably never would have known of his talents had it not been for the prize offered byMr. Simonds."

In the final analysis, losses eetablish the rates that all muet p'ay, and, in our Mutual Companies, loesee de' termine the dividend paid. Realizing the injustice of penalizing, by higher rate and lower dividend, the policy-holder who maintains a good risk, in order to protect the bad, we have consietently inaured only approved risks. By carefully eifting outthe fire traps, we have kept losses down and dividends up. Few lumber yards are as bad in fire risk as our picture presentg, but it is to prevent losses from such hazards that we have established defrnite standards for approval of risks. If a property cannot be approved as it stands, we show the owner how to make it acceptable. Thus we bring greater 6re safety to him, and at the same time safeguard the interests of all.
That Mutual interest means the highest degree of protection lor the lumber industry, zaith the dittidend that reduces the cost by 4O/o. Write any of our companies lor further information.

It's doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow man; It's making money-but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It's figuring how, and learning why, And looking forward, and thinking high, And dreaming a little, and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed; It's being thorough, yet making speed; It's daring blythely the field of chance
While making labor a brave romance; It's going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet; It's being clean, and it's playing fair; It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair; It's looking up at the stars above, And drinking deeply of life and love; It's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin; It's sharing sorrovv, and work, and mirth, And making better this good old earth; It's serving and striving through strain and stress, It's doing your npblest-that's Success !

As a protection against shrinkage, checking and twisting from the sun, the Smith-Lindsey Lumber Co. of Pasadena has built two lumber sheds with the sides and roof made of lath to store their common lumber. In laying the lath, as showh in the accompanying illustration, a space of one half inch was left between each lath to insure proper ventilation.
The sheds are 55 feet by 24 feet and 55 feet by 32 feet. Both sheds are 12 feet in height. The lath was made from their sized dimension stock. and the sheds were built by their employees during their spare time. Their cotn-on stock, 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, shakes, lath, and also shingles are stored in the sheds.
R.E. Lindsey, manager of the yard, states that he got the idea from the nursery sheds built to protect flowers and shrubs fromthe sun and decided to experiment the idea with lumber. Their experiences show that during the summer months it is about one-third cooler under the lath shed than their shed with a solid roof, which makes working conditions more favorable, also after rains the lumber piled under the lath shed drys out almost as quickly as lumber piled in the open.
The Smith-Lindsey Lumber Co. has been operating in Pasadena for the past seven years. Mr. Lindsey has been associated with the lumber business in Pasadena for the for eighteen years. pleased with their want to install this
past twenty-five years, and prior to opening the SmithLindsey yard was connected with the Orban Lumber Co.,

'Ihe huge mill, said to be one of the finest in the country, was completed the early part of this year and was formally opened only a few months ago.
