with the Sash Door and Mill Workers

the central shield of the Institute insignia and the license number of the member furnishing the work.

Where it is desired an individual "Job Certificate" will be issued by the Institute. All such certificates will be registered in the office of the Institute and will guarantee that the millwork for the job stated has been manufactured in accordance with the accredited standards of construction, and if found to be improperly manufactured or otherwise in conflict with the provisions governing certification, will be replaced without iost to the buyer. -

Beyond question, the adoption of this program is not only a very forward step, but is actually a history-making achievement for the industry. Through it the Millwork Institute of California becom'es the first millwork group anywhere to actually and definitely guarantee the products of its members. All who are in anv way concerned are bound to profit from the program. Foi the architect it means that he can specify that the millwork for his jobs shall be of accredited standards of construction and certified by the Millwork Institute of California. For the general contractor it means knowing that his millwork figure for certified work will not be put into competition with inferior or shoddy goods, and that controversies, if they arise, will be equitably adjusted through arbitration. Both elements will know, as will also the owner, exactly what constitutes the right kind of materials and right kind of constructions and that the combined power and reputation of the entire membership of the Millwork Institute of California stands behind every certified job and every item bearing the certification label.' The entire program, it is planned, will be in formal operation by November l, 1928.-Reprint from September issue of "Planer Talk."

My Mother

Someone I love comes back to me

With every gentle face I see; Beneath each wave of soft, grey hair I seem to see my mother there. With every kindly grace and word It seems as if I must have heard Her speak, and felt her terider gaze With all the love of olden days. And I am moved to take her hand, And tell noiv, I understand How tired she grew beneath the strain Of feeling every loved one's pain. No further burdens could she bear; The promise of that Land more fair Alone could tempt her from her child; And now, if I could keep her here, No sacrifice could be too dear.

No tempered winds for her too mild. Then I would smooth and kiss her face, And by her side take my old place, And sob rny tears and cares away. The tears I have so long repressed Would lose their ache upon her breast; I think if I could feel her touch

Once more, it would not matter much How sunny, or how dark the day.

The Doctor

It was two in the morning. The doctoi had been on his feet for twelve consecutive hours and he was dead tired. Just as he slid into bed and reached up to turn out the light, the telephone rang.

"Dammit !" said the doctor, wearily, "there's one born every minute."

In Front Of The New Building

'Oh, Daddy, look at the statue on the top of the tower."

"Sh, son, that's not a statute; that's a carpenter."

Credit The Doer

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly and may fail again and again; because there is no effort without error or shortqoming. But who does actually strive to do the deeds; who does know the great enthusiasm, the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; who, at tha worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those whose cold and timid souls know neither victory nor defeat.-Theodore Roosevelt.

What He Was Waiting For

The automobile salesman had been trying for hours to sell the Scotchman the car, but the prospect would only shake his head at every effort to get his name on the dotted line. Finally he demonstrated the pulling power of the car on a hill.

"Watch her when f throw in the clutcl5" said the salesman.

"I'll take the car," said the Sotchman. "f knew if I held oot long enough ye'd throw in somethin'."

Striving Gives Strength

Man owes his growth, his energy, chlefly to that striving of the will that conflicts with difficulty, which we call efrort. Easy, pleasant work does not make robust minds, does not give men a consciousness of their powers, does not train them to endurance, to perseverance, to steady force of will, that force without which all other acquisitions avail nothing.-William Eltery Channing.
