A special exhibit featuring California Redwood will be held in the Architects Building Material Exhibit, Fifth and Figueroa Streets, Los Angeles, from October 1-15, 1933. The display includes the front section of the Monterey type home, 20 feet in length, showing the various uses of Redwood in residential construction. This Redwood exhibit was on display at the recent Los Angeles County Fair where it attracted a great deal of interest and has been.moved to the Architects Building Material Exhibit for the duration of this special exhibition.
The California Redwood Association announces the election of H. W. Cole as President of the Association on September 21. Mr. Cole is also designated as the Executive Officer of the Redwood Division of Lumber Code Authority.
. Mr. Cole is vice-president of the Hammond & Little River Redwood Co. He recently returned after spending several months in Washington and Chicago attending conferences on the Lumber Code as representative of the Redwood industry. He succeeds Leonard Hammond who resigned as president of the Association.
Kenneth Smith, Los Angeles, has returned from a trip to Chicago where he attended the annual meeting of the National Hardwood Lumber Association which was held at the Congress Hotel on September 20, 2l and 22, He represented the Pacific Coast lHardwood Dealers' Association and the Southern California Hardwood Dealers' Credit Association at the meeting. He made the trip both ways by airplane.
C,orrect design has been painstakingly engineered into the new Poultry Feeders by Max Cook. Every measurement, every principle represents the weighed judgment of recognized poultry authorities.
Many actualfeeding tests were studied to rnake sure the feeders are built to suit the hen.
Palco Redwood Sectional Poultry Feeders are completely pre.fabricated of thoroughly seasoned, specially selected grades. aecurately milled and factory finished.
Palco Redwood Feeder Parte are standardized. They are interchangeable, rnaking six alternate types or difrerent assemblies possible from a reasonable dealer inventorv.
Because the farmer muet inveet more time and rnoney to cut, fit and nail an inferior article, he needs and will buy Palco Redwood Sectional Poultry Feeders. Anyone that has tried to "home-make" a poultry feeder will
recognize this fact. Will he not, therefore, prefer the highly engineered; identifiedo article,
cornpletely pre-fabricated and guaranteed by a reputable factory to a doubtful article representing a greater investment?
Truly the lurnber merchant has en-

The three mills that please the dealers in REDWOOD and FIR
What a place of refuge from the heat the banks have been this past summer. You could feel the chill the minute you walked in! And when you walked out? Boy!
*t<:t
There is a good one going the rounds about the banker who, up to four months ago, used an ear trumpet to hear. Last spring he sold the ear trumpet.
You can't even borrow lt"l"r.* oklahoma on an oklahoma guarantee, any more. You know what an Oklahoma guarantee is, don't you? "If I don't pay you I'm a Soand-So."
And then there was " ;";": man who was convicted of an insanity charge by a unanimous vote of the jurors. He had tried to borrow money at a bank on his open note.
Somebody's kidding ,":";"1 Every day the Government issues a warning through some mouthpiece that credit has got to be extended to the American public by the banks. And they tell me that the bank examiners say to the banks-"Tighten up !" just like they were doing a year ago. Just what IS the sitcheyashun, anyway? 
But NRA doesn't "r*"j;"Jwhat the darkey thought. In our neighborhood there is a gasoline station that used to employ two colored men at car washing. They had a flourishing business. The price was fifty cents a car. The darkies got eight or nine dollars a week. But they were eating. The local NRA came along and the boss signed up. He had to raise the darkies' pay to $14, and the price of car washing to one dollar. So he raised the pay of one man, and laid the other off. At the end of a week he laid off the second one. No one would pay a dollar for car washing. The car washing business at that station has simply disappeared. Two darkies are out of jobs.
rve tried hard to put ;y i-Jr"".ro" of NRA into concrete terms. I couldn't quite make it. The other day a friend of mine did it for me. He is one of the brainiest men I ever knew. So I asked him his impression, and he said: "It has me in a daze. My mind tries in vain to understand it. My reason fails to comprehend it. Yet in some fashion, past my understanding, I have a blind faith that it will succeed. So blindly yet hopefully I play 'follow the leader'."
Yet how completely the philosophy of NRA is misunderstood even by many who are working hard to put it over. As an example: well-meaning people in the movie industry are putting out attractive "shorts" to boost NRA. Right now in every movie they are showing one that pictures a young song writer trying to write an NRA song, with a vision of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson to aid him. He asks them to explain NRA to hirn, and George Washington replies: ,.ft would divide the available employment among a greater number of workers and give every man a living wage."
But that was the exact philosophy of Share-the-Work a year ago, and NOT that of NRA as I understand it. I made numerous addresses in favor of the Share-the-Work movement. That movement said to the employer: ,,If business falls off, do not lay off men, but cut down time and divide the available employment and income between all your crew, thus giving them all a chance to eat." We said to industry, "If your business falls off ZS per cent. instead of laying oft 25 per cent of your employees, reduce their time and their pay 25 per cent (unless that falls below a living wage) and keep all your people employed and off the streets." Share-the-Work did NOT increase the expense of the employer. It simply spread the belief that it was better for 100 men to get $80 a month, than for 80 men to get $100 a month, while the other 20 walked the streets hunting jobs that could not be found.
NRA asks no question as to available employment or income. It says to the employer, "Cut down working
hours, employ more people, and raise wages.,' It tells the employer that this will increase his cost, and that sacrifice on his part is required, but that in the end the nation will be rescued by the increased buying power that will be created by putting people to work, and they will be able to buy from him at the necessarily increased prices. There is really NOT a very close relationship between Share-the-Work and NRA philosophies. The first was an emergency effort to keep unemployed people off the streets, and called for sacrifice by employee and employer. The second is a tremendous and daring effort to break the chains of depression by an arbitrary effort to create employment and buying n"l"t; *
I like the things my old lumber friend, Jesse Jones, is doing and saying better than I do the emanations of any other Roosevelt aide. He has a mind that works like a Corliss engine. When he speaks, he says something.prac_ tical. Ife is essentially a practical man. Theories do not appeal to him like a tried and proven fact.
The "brain trust" ," r".U" t'rl of afr"orists, economists, and such like. Jesse Jones knows business, knows finance, knows industry, and knows men. He is a self-made man. ff he went broke today through some general cataclysm he would have it all back again in no time. He knows how. The average economist would starve to death in the midst of plenty' ,f * ,(
Jones says NRA won't work unless we get money and (Continued on Page 10)

credit to grease the skids with. He keeps on saying it. Mr. Roosevelt must agree with him, or Jesse wouldn't be saying it. He knows that if you take a broke sawmill man who has been keeping his mill running and his men employed almost by necromancy, and you tell that man that he must increase his cost of producing lumber about one-third; unless you also do two other very definite things IMMEDIATELY-you have simply ordered the closingof asawmill.
Those two things are: first, you must show that broke sawmill man where to get the money or credit to operate with at this high cost; second, you must show the consumer where he can get the rnoney or credit to build with so that he will havg some incentive and abiiity to buy that increased-cost lumber. And without those two additional sslvisss-unless you arrange so that the mill man can mill and people can buy-you are very likely to defeat the,pur' pose of the NRA by closing a sawmill and putting men out of work. They weren't making rnuch pay, it's true, but they were eating.
I'm just using this broke sawmill man as an example. The same conditions prevail in all lines of industry and business. Jesse Jones knows these things, because he's a business man, and not an economist. (If you've gathered from these remarks that I don't think much of the advice of professional economists, you're keeping right up with me). And Jesse wants to do something about it. ***
on the need for financial help for all concerned. "\Me're doing it the hard way," is what the man in the street says about it. Jones wants to start doing it the easy way-with mone''
All practical thinkers seem to concede that recovery without building industry revival, is impossible. A cartoon depicting industry generally as a motor vehicle stalled because of four flat tires that are titled "Building", has made a hit, and tells the story. As long as building remains flat, the vehicle will not progress much. And building lags. Costs under codes have advanced. Advanced costs have been met with reduced demand. Markets have weakened; which bring reduced production allowables; which reduces employment; which reduces buying power. New sources of building credit-not purling springs but huge reservoirs-are needed if the building industry is to rise.
Many thousands of people have seen the display of the Palco Redwood Sectional Septic Tank in the large window of the Building Material and N{achinery Exhibit at 557 Market Street, San Francisco. in the last tu'o rveeks.
This exhibit is a part of the merchandising plan of The Pacific Lumber Company for its Palco Redwood Pre-Fabricatecl Proclucts. and the Sept.c Tank is the first of the series.
If Jones had been mapping the NRA program he would have the cart and horse position reversed from its present situation. He would have put the credit-creation or moneyinflation or whatever money-relief program Mr. Roosevelt is eventually going to decide upon into effect COINCIDENT
some time later. If it had been possible for Government to put its wage and employment codes into effect, and at the same time develop the money and credit to finance them-Boy ! Instead of saying, "I believe NRA will succeed," as we are today, we would be saying, "The big show is over," right now.
The Recovery Program aO**Ot operate without cash and credit. Mr. Roosevelt himself assures us of that, so there's no argument. Finding the money route was inevitable when the thing started. The earlier the money route is discor-ered and decided upon, the earlier recovery will comc. THAT is why Jesse Jones keeps on harping
Prominently displayetl in the u'indou' is a list of dealer clistributors in the Northern California territory. Judging by the interest displayed by the public it is safe to predict that many inqu:ries for these tanks will be received by clealers as a result of this exhibit. Many inquiries have already been received by the company from those who have responded to the invitation to go inside and get copies of the tlvo illustrated pamphlets rvhich explain the function of the septic tank and shorv how easily it can be assembled.
The rugged -qtrength and simplicity of design of the fullsized two compartment septic tank shorvn in the display compel the attention of passers-by, and many prospects for rlealer sales of this product rvill uncloubtedly be uncovered by this merchandising effort.
S. J. Hatharvay, manager of the Sunkist Lumber Co., Monrovia, Calif., has returned from a vacation trip spent in Colorado. His family accompanied him on the trip.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 19.-Satisfaction rvas expressed today by C. Arthur Bruce. executive <lirector of the Lumber Code Authority, rvith the way the widespread and drverse lumber industry is operating under the NRA.
"The Lumber Code has been in operation, in part at least, for a rnonth," said Mr. Bruce. "and that period would naturally be the hardest oue-the one in rvhich rvhile adaptation r,vas going on, the most objections, fault-findings and practical obstacles would be encottnteled. Much to our surprise and delight, there have been scarcely any cases of non-cooperation u'ith rvhich to deal, and few complaints involving basic principles. One explanation, perhaps, is that the forest products industries had long been thrnking along reorganization lines that corresponded closely to the objectives of the Industrial Recovery Act.
"The lnmber industry often has been cited as the typical industry of rugged individualism, and it was. But it found that its excessive individualism was suicidal, rvith demoralizing consequences on the forest communities and workers; and rvas injuriously affecting the national economic rvhole. Tl-re time came rvhen lumbermen were earnestly seeking to do for themselves, so far as laws would permit, just about rvhat the Natronal Industrial Recovery Act requires.
"Rational control of production. economv of forest materials, conservation of timber, prices that lr,ould at least yield cost, adequate wages and a prospect of a return some day on capital assets rvere the fond dreams of the industry. Under the Lumber Code these all become officially approved aims-and r,vhether they are attained or not is now the internal problem of the industry. The government has given ample evidence it is r'vith us, instead of against us, so long as we keep the public as rvell as the indnstry's welfare in mind.
"Over forty forest material groups are now under the Lumber Code and many more groups are applying for admission. The total membership in manufacturing units is between 35,000 and 41,000. About a million employees are normally on their payrolls and the annual production has a value of more than two billions. A wide variety of wood production and utilization is embraced, and the camps and plants are to be found in every State. It would seem to be the most unadaptable of all basic industries to selfgovernment and governmental supervision. Yet our experience so far justifies confidence that the Lumber Code can be administered with success.
"Production control became effective Sept. 1, and the industry is now operating smoothly under divisional allocations of a national total of 4875 million feet of lumber for the period September-October-November. Production details, cost-protection, minimurn price regulations and trade practices will be further developed under, or as additions to the Code, during the next three weeks at meetings of the price committee (made up of division executives), of the Central Control Committee of the Lumber Trade Authority and a full meeting of the Authority itself."

A white minister in a rural country district had an old colored man working at chores around his yard who was, himself a preacher to the colored race.
It was customary for the old colored preacher to drop around on Saturday night and ask the white preacher for the text he was going to preach on the next day, and then deliver a sermon on the same subject himself, always without preparation of any sort.
One Saturday night he came in and the white minister gave him the text: "And He healed them of divers diseases." This made a particular impression on the dusky
preacher's mind, and he preached from it most eloquently the next day.
"Bredern an' Sistern," he said: "Dis Man of Galilee proved to all de folks dat he was ackshally de Son of Gawd on dishere occasion, becuz I{e was de onlies' one whut evah healed dese divers diseases. You kin git de smallpox, and de doctuh might git you well; an' you kin git de Yallah Fevah, an' de doctuh might git you well; an' you mout even git de Black Death, an' de doctuh might git you well. But folks, if evah you gits dese divers diseases you is G-O-N-E."

Wash:ngton, Sept. 12.-In response to a letter from Wilson Compton in behalf of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, inviting him to designate public forestry agencies and associations to confer with the lumber industries regarding the applicaton of the forestry article of the Lumber Code, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has expressed his cordial concurrence and the conference will be lreld in Washington, October 23-25.
"I congratulate the lumber and timber products industries upon the conservation provisions which they have incorporated in their Industrial Recovery Act Code," writes Secretary Wallace. "It seems to the Department and to me personally," he continues, "that this action constitutes a constructive measure of major national significance upon which the industries may look with pride, and one rvhich promises to be of the utmost practical importance throughout their entire future."
I\Ir. Wallace consents to act as chairman of the conference so far as his other obligations may permit and he accepts Dr. Compton's suggestion that Dean Henry S. Graves, of the Yale School of Forestry, and formerly Forester of the United States, shall be requested to act as vice-chairman. Regarding the program, Secretary Wallace thinks that it should revolve around two main considerations:
1. What sustained yield management, silvicultural, protection, and other forestry measures are necessary to carry out the Code commitments of the industry.
2. To determine the extent to which such measures will require the co-operation of Federal, State, or other public agencies.
Commenting on these suggestions Secretary Wallace says:
"The first group of subjects would deal with the practicable measures which are necessary on the ground for the conservation and sustained production of the forest resource, without regard to the part which should be handled by the industry or the necessary public contribution. Since I understand that it is planned to have the detailed local measures worked out by regional units, I suppose that the conference would develop principles, etc., to the point where local agencies could work the details out most effectively.
"Having clearecl up these questions, it might then be possible under the second group far more effectively to consider and deterrnine what the public needs to do to make these measures possible, or in other words, the form and extent of public co-operation.
"All of the subjects which you have suggested r,vould, I think, fall logically into one or the other of these tll'o groups."
In Major Stuart's absence from Washington the Secretary has designated Earle H. Clapp, Assistant Forester,
to act as a representative of the Department of Agriculture in working out the arrangements for the conference.
"In conclusion," the Secretary writes, "I wish to assure you, and through you the industries interested in the code, of my personal desire as well as that of the Forest Service and the Department to do everything within our power to make the forthcoming conference or conferences a success from the standpoint of both the industries and the public."
From the standpoint of professional foresters, the forestminded public and, perhaps, from that of the long time national economic interest, the conference between the forest industries and professional foresters and agencies is possibly the most significant result of the Industrial Recovery Act. The Code require that the lumber industries shall invite the public-interest agencies to unite with them in the drafting of rules and regulations for the lumber industry in administering its forests in accordance with sustained yield or conservation principles. It also provides that the conference shall advise the President of the public action which it will be advisable to take in the interests of forest conservation. This provision has reference to such matters as taxation, public protection of forests against fire and other destruction, etc.
Assuming that virtually all of the privately owned timber lands in the United States are affected by the Lumber Code, the coming conference will be of practical interest to the orvners of not less than 400 million acres of land. If the 150 million acres of farm woodlots be ignored there lvill still be about 250'million acres of commercial timber land which will find a sort of industrial conservation constitution in the rules and regulations which will be drafted by the conference for submission to the Lumber Code Authority.
All of this tends to mean what has frequently been pointed out by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, but perhaps is not well understood-that the NIRA has abruptly brought about organized forest conservation effort after three-quarters of a century of talk about it.
I heard God calling And I came.
His sun signalled me With its flame. His wind called me With its song.
His birds said they Had been waiting long. His little brooks ran tumbling Down the hills, Luring me with laughter Of rocky rills.
His grasses, yellow-green, Standing in the sun, Held up their fingers For me to come.
Heart of Oak and heart of Pine Beat a faint tattooFlowing sap in bowl and bud Climbing up anew.
Till at last the summons Set my heart aflameI heard God calling And I came.
-By Edwin Osgood Grover.What Raphael is to color, what Mozart is to music, that Burns is to song. With his sweet words "the mother soothes her child, the lover woos his bride, the soldier wins his victory." His biographer says his genius was so overmastering that news of Burns' arrival at the village inn drew farmers from their fields and at midnight awakened travelers, who left their beds to listen, delighted until morn.
One day this child of poverty and obscurity left his plow behind, and entering the drawingrooms of Edinburgh, met Scotland's most gifted scholars, her noblest lords and ladies. Mid these scholars, statesmen and philosophers he blazed "like a torch among the tapers" showing himself wiser than the scholars, wittier than the humorist, kinglier than the courtliest. And yet, in the very prime of his manhood, Burns lay down to die, a broken-hearted man. He had sinned much, suffered much, and being the victim of his own folly, he was also the victim of ingratitude and misfortune. Bewildered by his debts, he seems like an
untamed eagle beating against bars he cannot break. The last time he lifted his pen upon the page it was not to give immortal form to some exquisite lyric he had fashioned, but to beg a friend in Edinburgh for the loan of ten pounds to save him from the terrors of a debtor's prison. By contrast with the lot of other worthies Robert Burns seems to have been the child of good fortune. In the last analysis the blame is with the poet himself. Not want of good fortune without, but want of good guidance within, wrecked his youth. Save Saul alone, history holds no sadder tragedy than that of Burns, who sang "the short and simple annals of the poor."-Newell Dwight Hillis.

Tax his head, tax his hide, Let the government officials ride. Tax his cow, tax her calf, Tax his horse and tax his laugh.
Tax his houses, tax his land, Tax the blisters on his hands, Tax his Ford and tax his gas, Tax the road that he must Pass.
Tax the pay-roll, tax the sale, Tax his hard-earned paper kale. Tax his pipe and tax his smokeTeach him government's no joke.
Tax the water, tax the air, Tax the sunlight if you care.
Tax the living, tax the dead, Tax the unborn e'er they're fed.
Tax their comns, tax their shrouds, Tax their souls behind the clouds, Tax them all and tax them well, Tax them to the gates of Hell.

In connection with the general observance of Fire Prevention Week, the following Code is respectfully submitted for sanction, by the Associated Lumber Mutuals, in a sincere effort to lend full support to the general cause of fire prevention by
(a) keeping fire out of employment in lumber yards and plants in every possible way;
(b) keeping men employed in operating plants, who rvould inevitably be out of employment in the event of destruction of the plant by fire or any other cause;
(c) eliminating every possible fire hazard from the mechanical construction, arrangement or operation of the plant;
(d) curbing human carelessness u'hich in the final analysis is responsible for over 75 per cent of all fires and firc
Participating-All lumber plants, yards or mills, or any plants using lumber in any volume in connection rvith any type of manufacturing, shall be inclrrdecl vvithin the provisions of this Code.
Efiective-Date of Code-This code shall become effective immediately and shall remain in effect so long as the necessity for protection against fire exists in the lttmber industry.
Hours of Employment-The minimum employment of any employee, in thought or action in the direct interest of fire prevention, shall be an average of twenty-four hours per day in every month. Every employee under this Code is expected to be fire-conscious during all working, sleeping or playing hours, and ever alert to eliminate any fire risk or to prevent any fire loss.
Compensation-Regardless of any increase in labor cost rvhich this Code may impose, the compensation for successful fire prevention efiort shall remain the same as it is today, the full preservation of property value-except that. as fire prevention efforts become more and more efficient, it would be reasonable to expect lorver costs for fire insurance.
Unfair Practices-For the purpose of this Code, any of the following acts shall constitute unfair practices:
(1) Any accumulation of rubbish, grass, sticks or shavings anywhere in the yard or mill, rvhere a spark might find a fertile nest to hatch a fire.
(2) Any accumulation of grease, gtlm or machines. motors or shafting, upon rvhich spread and rapidly grow beyond control.
(61 Any broken windows or skylights.
(7) Any electric rvires off the porcelain, any twisted cords in contact with wood or iron, any wires tied in knots or hung on nails, any insulation worn through.
(8) Any improper storage or dispensing equipment for gasoline and oils, any leaks or drippings, any open containers from which explosive fumes might rise, or any excess supply of paints or oils in the painting or finishing rooms.
(9) Any lack of clear space between lumber piles in the yard, or bet'iveen machinery and materials in the mill. r
(10) Any failure to keep hose lines properly connected with hydrants, fitted r.r'ith nozzles, and in condition for quick and effective service at all times.
(11) Any failure to provide enough fire extinguishers, either hand or on r'vheels, to give proper protection to the plant; or to keep them readily accessible ancl allvays in condition for emergency use.
(12) Any failure to provide plenty of water barrels and pails, placed at all vital points. rvhere they can be used immediately-even more quickly than a hose or an extinguisher could be brought into service; or to keep such equipment in good repair, to keep barrels filled with water, or to keep buckets ahvays in place, easily and quickly accessible.
(13) Any reckless use of make-shift fuses such as coins, etc., in electric switch boxes, the nse of light bulbs rvithout protective screens, or any other careless use of electric equiprnent.
(14) Any defective equipment in stoves, pipes, furnaces, or power plants.
(15) Any failure to build fire walls or to make any other structural changes in the plant rvhich have been recommended by fire prevention engineers and u'hose value has been demonstrated by facts and figures.
Such unfair practices and all other practices which shall be declared to be unfair under this Code, or by any amendment to the Code, shall be deeme<l to be unfair methods in dealing rvith the problem of fire, and the manifestation of such indifference or recklessness shall be deemed a violation of this Code, and any member of the industry who shall directly or indirectly, through any officer or employee, kno'lvingly use or employ any such unfair practices, shall be guilty of a violation of the Code.
dirt on an-v a fire could
(3) Any careless use of matches in yard, mill or ofifice. or any laxity about "no smoking" rules or "no smoking" signs as a warning and reminder to employees and visitors.
(4) Any oily rags, waste or greasy clothes permitted to lie around in corners or hang in closets where spontaneous combustion might take place; or the absence of metal lockers, self-closing metal waste cans or other safe containers for the safe disposal of such materials; or any carelessness irT not using such safety facilities.
(5) Any broken fences which would provide casy entrance for careless or malicious trespassers.
Administration-To further the purposes of fire prevention, the Associated Lumber Mutuals offer their services as a special committee to present from time to time recommendations basecl on conditions in the Lumber Industry rvhich will tend to effectuate the operation of the provisions of this Code and the general policy of fire prevention.
General Provisions-This Code is definitely designed to promote an effective prevention campaign against fire by the members of the Lumber Industry subscribing to it.
We feel that every lumberman is in complete sympathy rvith the spirit of this Code. If you will subscribe to this Code and conform to its requirements in the operation of your plant, it rvill unquestionably result in a substantial decrease in the number of fires and the amount of loss which these fires entail.

The California Lumber Merchant in 1930 published an article " Centralized Control".
In that article the above writer attempted to advance the thought that the profits of a business should bear the same relation to the business that real property bears, and any attempt to destroy these profits should be considered as an attempt to destroy the physical propgrty of the business.
Recently we have been going through the transitory period of evolution in business principles, and while it is developing, much confusion occurs. For the past three years we have been besieged with articles, speeches, lectures, miles of words, Technocracy, Budgets, Taxes, Bank Holidays, and a confusion of ideas that leave us stranded and unable to grasp the significance of the NIRA.
NIRA is but the expression of an evolution that h'as been developing for the past fifty years, and had its in,ception in the transition from an agricultural to an industrial development.
Something had to happen with the growth of the industrial feature, the further we developed this, the stronger the socialogical development grew away from individualistic effort. Individualism had to give way, and as we progress further individualism will become a thing of the past. Nature in all its functions demands this, and civilization is merely following natural lines in its evolution to a better group development.
This does not mean Socialism, or Fascism, or Sovietism or any other isms, these experimental theories are but gropings for the light, they are a forced evolution without sufficient preparation through growth. They are an attempt to 'catch up in a race that is already finished., We in America have passed this stage and are now entering a phase that we have been preparing for. 'We are in commen,cement, and because of the pioneering that America had to do in its ,creation of a new Empire, we are one hundred years in advance of Europe.
We have assimilated the ideas and hopes of all Nations, and fused them into one grand effort that gave us the progress we have made during these past hundred years.
We are evolving to a new and better condition, and in all evolution the transition from one condition to another has been accomplished through pain and suffering, the history of business and the history of mankind is a history of pain and suffering at stated periods when in the throes of a transition from one condition to another.
The depression was this very thing, it has not deprived us of anything as a whole. It has caused suffering to many, but it is through this suffering that we have awakened to an exercise of our better qrialities that were becoming dormant.
It is only within the last century that we have been thinking as a group. During the Dark Ages the job of thinking was allocated to the few. A man had to have a scholars license to be able to think. Today even students and lumbermen can think in a straight line, and while we have made progress in this direction we have yet a long way to go. We have taken on new standards through trial
A large number of lumbermen with their families and friends are planning to visit the Parson Simpkin Memorial Tree in the Calaveras State Park near Stockton, Calif., on Sunday, October 8, 1933. An interesting program is being arranged for by the Committee, and those attending will also have an opportunity to visit one of the large Civilian Conservation Camps which is located immediately back of the Calaveras Big Trees Hotel.
The Calaveras Big Trees are just a two-hour run by automobile from Stockton and an excellent paved road goes right to the park. All lumbermen, their families and friends are invited to attend this enjoyable outing in the mountains at this season of the year. The Committee would like to have those attending to arrive as early as possible and to bring a picnic lunch.
and error. Tomorrow we will discard these standards for better ones.
It is only recently that the term "Caveat Emptor" has been ,considered as not according to Hoyle. Business up to the last ,century was a dirty game and had been conducted along dirty lines for ,centuries. It was degrading to engage in business. A banker had to disguise his calling. A tradesman was beyond the pale of good society, and the very nature of business called for trickery, dishonesty and deceit. These were the three fundamental requirements for a business career. 'We have gone far from that time,.but we have yet a long way to go to purge these three principles from the business stru,cture.
In olden days Governments looked upon traders as necessary evils. Today Government is realizing that its life depends upon the success of the commerce. Politics in the past meant Government as it pertained to the deportment of individuals. Tomorrow all Governments must shape their ,courses to direct the deportment of industry.
We need never fear the old Bugaboo that Government is going into industry. Industry is the Government. It simply means that an orderly government of business is as necessary to the life of the Nation as the political government. We have only existed as a Government half way. We have already completed one half of the job. Now it's up to industry to create a uniform Government. It is industry's job and not a political one. But we need the force of the organized political body to support our efforts until the job is accomplished it is not a temporary thing of TWO YEARS; it is a permanent, progressive move to a better life. It is a human necessity; it is as inevitable as the rising sun, and were it not for the awakening of the politi,cal government to this necessity it would be accomplished through revolution which in all cases has been the slower method of progress.
NIRA has merely started the ball rolling. The Government is not in your game; you must play it yourself. Make your laws, be a government within yourselves, regulate your craft so as not to come in conflict with other crafts. The Government is merely holding the whistle to call the fould.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 21.-A total production of 400,000,000 feet of Southern Pine lumber for the month of October was established by the board of directors of the Southern Pine Association and the Industry Control Committee Thursday at a joint meeting in New Orleans, presided over by Charles Green, Laurel, Miss., chairman of the Control Committee. This allotment for the entire Southern Pine Division for October is 50,000,000 feet less than was granted by the Lumber Code Authority for the month.
The 400 million feet allotment is to be distributed on a footage basis to the individual mills in the Division which have made application for quotas within the legally specified time limit. September production quotas were based upon "allowable hours of operation."

Curtis Williams of Los Angeles writes that he recently completed a wonderful cruise along the coast of Maine. In his letter, he enclosed a clipping from the ,,Boston post" regarding the wearability of more than a half dozen white pine hand-wrought shingles recently removed from a church steeple in Dedham, Mass. According to M. J. Rogers, carpenter, who is now repairing the steeple, the shingles may be 119 years old as there was no evidence when the shingles were removed that any others had been used since the church was built in 1814.
Mr. Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Williams, left Los Angeles the early part of July for a several weeks sojourn in New York and New England.

Washington, Sept. IZ._AI article of the Lumber Code under the \IRA which has not received much attention but is of great significance, is paragraph "B" of Article XVI, which relates to the branding or marking of lumber. It might be said that merely as a by-product this section brings about or will bring about a reform in the lumber industry. Under se'ction "B" fifty odd groups of forest products industries which are under the Code "undertake to adopt, apply and enforce branding or marking of lumber and timber products." Not later than January 1, next, the Lumber Code Authority is required to submit to President Roosevelt provisions necessary to effectuate the requirements of paragraph "8" as well as of trade practices generally. Such regulations are to become effective 30 days after approved by the President'
This makes it certain that all lumber shipped in interstate commerce after the first of the year will have to be plainly marked as to species, grade, dimension and seasoning. Moreover, every consignment of timb€r, lumber, flooring, shingles and lath except for export must be accompanied by shipper's certificate covering quantity as well as grade. The retail lumber code correspondingly requires the handling of marked lumber by the retail distributors.

Due probably to inertia, there has been great reluctance on the part of manufacturer, as well as lumber dealer, to take up grade marking. Even in cities where the building inspectors require grade marked lumber there has been a frequent disposition on the part of most dealers to find some way to avoid the necessity of handling grademarked material. The difficulties interposed by both manufacturers and dealers frequently make it necessary for building inspectors to modify their requirements' A typical instance is that of the City of Richmond, California, in the San Francisco Bay area, which, in drawing up specifications for a small field hoqse for a proposed athletic field, included the requirement that the lumber be grademarked. After the foundations were in place the building inspector was advised by the contractor that grade-marked lumber was not obtainable. Investigation revealed that only a limited amount of lumber, made by one company, was available in the San Francisco region.
