Renewal of the maritime agreements between six unions and the Waterfront Employers' Association for another year was announced in San Francisco, September 30, by Almon E. Roth president of the Association.

An agreement assuring no further stoppage of work before the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939 ended the nine rreeks'plasterers' strike in San Francisco, September 30.
The agreement grants the union an increase from $9.00 to $10.00 a day, establishes the rvork day at six hours, provides for reopening the wage question February 1, 1938, and decrees arbitration of all questions except hottrs. Plasterers resumed work October 4.
Hod carriers also returned to t'ork on October 4 after being on strike nine weeks. They r.vere granted a slightly higher wage than the $1.25 an hour scale prevailing before the strike, and will contintte their rvage scale negotiations with the employers.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, in its nelvs rclease of October 9, says:
Production. orders and shipments reported to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association by 177 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon for the rveek ended Octo-
ber 2 continued to reflect a general slowing up of business. Production for the rveek for these mills of 95,371,955 board feet shows that the entire industry produced 59.9% ol its average weekly cut during 1926-29 and sets a new low for recent months. The volume of orders reported received. 96,470,130 feet, while 12,000,000 feet more tian the previous week, is still extremely low. The increase shown in orders is chiefly in the local and the domestic cargo trade; but the difference is too small to indicate change in market trends. While changes up and down in the volume of orders received occur frequently, experience has shown that only the general trend is of consequence and in recent weeks this movement has been downward.
The immediate market outlook is uncertain and lumbermen anticipate further reductions in cutting schedules unless the volume of sales should increase sizeably. ***
The Western Pine Association for the week ended Octobet 2, 116 mills reporting, g'ave new business as 60.437,000 feet, shipments 63,964,000 feet, and production 82,537,00O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 162,301,000 feet.

The California Redwood Association for the week ended September 25 reported new business of 13 mills as 6,945,000 feet, shipments 8,676,000 feet, and production 10,183,000 feet. Week end orders on hand totaled 37.063.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the rveek ended October 2, 101 mills reporting, gave new business as 25,117,0N feet, shipments 28,4O6,000 feet, and production 26,895,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the u'eek totaled 57,843,000 feet, equivalent to 2,754 cars.

Yes, sir, some of tt e"e lajs irn goirrg to jo,in all those lucky friends of mine who have been there, and go to Honolulu. In this world of continual and bitter controversy concerning anything and everything, there seems to be only one subject on which all men meet on common ground, and that is Honolulu. I have yet to hear a single visitor who had a word of anything but lavish praise for that Island and its charm. It ought to be a grand place to rest a set of nerves worn to tatters by the hellaciousness of these days in which we are living.
Now and then some s""l";J rises to refute the charge that the Scotch race is a "tight" one. But the fact remains that the city o,f Glasgow, Scotland, with a population of about one million, has 60O,(X)0 savings accounts. Proving that the poet was probably right when he wrote that-"No Mactavish was ever lavish." *,r:t
P. T. Barnum, the famous showman, was Scotch. And, in order to effectively combat the extremely undesirable demand for free admittance to his famous show, he dug from the Scriptures the foll,owing quotations, and posted them at the front door of his show:
"Thou shalt not pass"-Numbers XX, 18.
"Suffer not a man to pass"-Judges llI, 28.
"None shall pass"-Mark XIII, 30.
"Neither doth any son of man pass thereby"-leremiah LI,43.
"Though they roar, yet they cannot pass"-Jeremiah, 32.
"So he paid the fare thereof, and went"-Jonah f, 3. *:f*
While Glasgow probably holds the world's championship for savings accounts" the good old conservative city of Philadelphia, Pa., holds, in my opinion, a much better championship-that of homes. There is a far greater percentage of single residence buildings in Philadelphia than in any other city of importance in this nation. And each year it continues to pile up a splendid record for building single residences-homes.
Which reminds me of J Ot! Jrot"y ad I read the other
day in the Los Angeles Times. The Bank of America was the sponsor of the ad which had to do with home building. The heading read in big type: "Bank of America lends you both the MONEY to build the home you want, and the EXPERIENCE to help you build wisely." The body of the ad stated that as a pioneer in making FHA Title U loans, they had in two and one-half years helped more than 12,000 Californians invest more than fifty millions of dollars in substantial hornes. The ad continues: "When you finance through this bank, your plans and specifications are carefully checked by an FHA architect, and valuation experts pass upon the desirability of the neighborhood you have chosen. During actual construction of your home, representatives from both Bank of America and FHA make regular inspections to see that work is proceeding according to plans and specifications. When you borrow from the Bank of America you receive not only low-cost financing but the advantage of valuable experience as well." And THAT, folks, is my idea of a swell and helpful bank ad.

I had something to say last issue about Adolf Hitler and his bedevilments. Since writing that I have learned that effective October 15, all Rotary Clubs in Germany are suspended. That great organization that preaches and practices fellowship, tolerance, helpfulness, honor, love of God and country, peace and goodwill among all good men, is now taboo in Hitler's country. Those sort of teachings cannot breathe the foul air of dictatorship, and live. So one of the last ties that has bound unfortunate Germany to a tolerant and hopeful world-is severed.

The President of International Rotary is now a Frenchman, elected at the last June convention at Nice. And, strange to relate, he was placed in nomination for that office by an outstanding German Rotarian. But even this sort of gracious gesturing had no effect on Adolf the Ax-Man. Rotary preaches equality and goodwill among all men, regardless of race or creed. So Rotary departs from Germany. ,t ,F :k
The stock market continues to sag "rri droop and wend its way downward. Aloud on all sides comes the questionWhy? The only answer seems to be-War.

(Contiuued from Page 6) simple way I have marveled during the past year or so, how they could go up, with so much anxiety and distrust abiding in the minds of business folks generally. So, having marveled that they went up, I can hardly feel surprise at their fall. It is the tangible materialization of previous fears that is bringing the stock market down.
The unbalanced budgea, ,n" Ulo, ,itrr"tion, with Government so evidently pro-labor; the money situation which not even the brainiest business man pretends to understand nor believes that anyone else und.erstands; the threat of more and still more regulation; the threat of more and still more taxes on top of the already top-heavy burden business is carrying; the threat of new and added methods of taking from those who have and giving to those who have not; the feeling of being at the mercy of the caprices of dl the impractical and inexperienced experimenters in Washington; and with all these and many other worries on the debit side of the thinking ledger, not one leavening or softening indication of a fair deal for those who can think and work and produce as opposed to those who cannot or will not or do not-this, ry friends, in the opinion of a country boy, who doesn't pretend to be able to think in our present-day fashion, is the pyramid of pressure under which the stock market has been sinking.
Many point to the high tide of business in terms of volume, etc., as an indication of the return of prosperity. True. But a scared man is never a healthy man, and a frightened business consciousness will never permit the return of dependable business health. No matter what the physical volume of business might attain under present co'nditions, what every business man is still waiting and fervently praying for is a relaxation of pressure from the various business goblins enumerated above; a return of at least some portion of that general business situation that we used to call "normal." Yet the straight-thinking man who utters such heresy is automatically dubbed as an "economic royalist" and an undesirable citizen who wishes to grind his heel in the faces of the poor.
{<*{<
If every business man could know today that there would be no more wild spending of public money' no more new taxes, no more regulation, no more monkeying with our money, the guarantee of fair and equal justice for both labor and capital, no more arraying of class against class, and no more sessions of Congress for at least four years, you would see a business boom the like of which has never yet been known, with a good job at good pay for every man willing to work for a living. Which, of course, is wishing for the rainbow. It won't come.

A very constructive business program that should be of interest to every lumberman in the State has been arranged for the annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association that r.vill be held at Hotel Del Monte, Del Monte, California, on Thursday and Friday, November 4 and 5, 1937. The tentative program appears elsewhere in this issue.
J. O. Handley, M. J. Murphy, Inc., Carmel, the Association's vice-president for the Northern District. is general chairman of the Convention Committee and is being assisted by a committee from the Coast Counties Lumbermen's Club.
' Registration rvill be held on Thursday morning. Thursday afternoon, the annual golf tournarnent will be held on the Del Monte course. There rvill be skeet shooting, tennis, and trips through the fish canneries for those who do not play golf.

Entertainment of special interest is being arranged for the ladies rvho will attend.
Hotel Del Monte is well situated lor the convention, and is served by excellent highways and directly by the Southern Pacific Lines.
Del Monte is a paradise for motorists. There are many

The Roman Plunge in the hotel park with its heated salt water rvill appeal to srvimmers.

In order to give a practical clemonstration of ri'hat anv owner can do to remodel his l-rorre the Burlingarne Lumber Company, N{illbrae, recently purchasecl an old house at 10 Palm Avenue, Millbrae. The reconstruction was corllpleted and the house opened for inspection October 2.
Prodttcts of the Celotex Corporation, Armstrong Cork Products Company and tl-re Woocl Conversion Companrrvere used. The house rvas rebuilt on FHA specifications and financed on a FHA loan through the Bank of America. S. Kempthorlle, general contractor, was in charge of the construction.
The modernized house presents a most attractive appearance, and as all the products used possess a high degree of insulation it will be easier to heat in the rvinter and more comfortable to live in during the summer.
Celotex products were used in the living room, one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
Armstrong's Temlok De Luxe insulating interior finish was used in the second bedroom. ancl the dinette l'as built of Nu-Wood.
George R. Kendrick, sales manager of Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co., San Francisco, left October 2 for the Northwest where he will visit the company's' oflices arrd mill operations. He will be gone about trvo vi'eeks.
Thousands of Curtis Dealers have had a window on their eales force for over 5 years! For when Curtie brought out the Silentite Insulated Window in 1932, it went to work selling quality and satiefaction for the dealere who handled it.
Now they are eaying 1938 will be a big building year-and some think it will be one of the beet in history. And the profits that have come to dealers selling "painlesso' windowe (Silentite) can be yours when you tie up with Curtis.
For American families are tired of 'owindow pains." They positively don't want windows that rattle, stick and leak heat. That's why they took Silentite to
their hearts. Silentite was the first major improve' ment in nearly 300 years!
Silentite is a foolproof window. It savee fuel dollars because it is properly weather-stripped. It went through Kansas dust storms and the Ohio River flood without damage. That's why you can sell it, easily and quicklyo to the Mr. and Mrs. Americas in your town.

We recently acquired a copy of Export Price List dated January 9, 1893 issued by Pacific Pine Lumber Co., principal office No. 121 Market Street, San Francisco, showing f.a.s. mill prices of Pine (Fir) and other Coast species. It affords irrteresting comparisons with present day prices and practices. Those were the days before the term "Douglas Fir" came into commercial use. Pine meant Oregon Pine, or O. P.'as some old-timers still call it. Today "Pine" on the Pacific Coast refers only to Ponderosa and Sugar Pine and similar u'oods produced by mills in the Western Pine Association.
For many years before and after 1893, San Francisco, by reason of mill ownership was headquarters for nearly all of the export and domestic fir business of the Pacific Coast. That city controlled lumber sales, ship chartering, financing, etc. In 1916 the Douglas Fir Exploitation & Export Co. was organized with headquarters there, and sold all export lumber for about 100 sawmills. In recent years the head office of the company was moved to Seattle.
Pacific Pine Lumber Co. was probably the earliest known co-operative selling organization among Coast lumber producers. Its officers were E. M. Herrick, president; W. J. Adams, vice-president; W. H. Talbot, treasurer; Wm. C. Kirketerp, secretary. It was selling agent for Puget Mill Co. of Port Gamble, Port Ludlow and Utsalady I Port Blakely Mill Co.; Tacoma Mill Co.; Washington Mill Co. of Port Hadlock; Port Discovery Mill Co.; Port Madison Mills; all located on Puget Sound, and Grays Harbor Mill Co. of Cosmopolis, Wash. Some of these mills and ports are but memories today.
The company maintained two yards at San Francisco; Division A at Third & Berry Streets, and Division B occupied the block bounded by Steuart, Spear, Folsom and Harrison Streets. G. W. Stewart was yards manager at the head office.
Under the heading "Rough Commons" (Merchantable) about equal grade to Select Common of today, ordinary sizes up to 4O ft. inclusive are priced at $8.50 per M ft. September 1937 price on sanle stock is about $18.00. But we must remember the higher stumpage value, the carrying charges, increased labor cost, equipment, overhead, etc. of today. It is safe to say that sawmills earned a greater percentage of profit 44 years ago than they do today.
In that 1893 price list all export lumber was sold green. This included all uppers, rough or dressed, such as flooring, rustic, etc. Rough merchantable timbers 61 to 70 ft. lengths brought $12.50 per M.; rough clears $14.00, com'pared with today's $32 to $50 for similar items; 1x4 dressed flooring (only one grade) $17.0O; dressed stepping $21.50. The highest priced item on the list was edge grain decking at $26.00.
It cost $2.00 per nf for surfacing of timbers up to 40 ft. length, and $4.75 for S4S. Boards and 2 in. dimension and joists were dressed to uniform widths for $1.25. The same "sizing" o1 2t/2-inch and thicker, up to 4O ft. length cost but $1.35. Evidently a thin dime was not despised in those days of the "gay nineties."
Rough merchantable spruce brought $10.00 and clears $19.00. Rough merchantable Red Cedar $9.OO. llx4 ft. "Pine or Fir" laths were listed at $1.75 per M pcs. Red Cedar shingles cost $2.00 per M for sawn and $2.25 for "shaven." In pricing spars the diameter at the middle of the stick was used. 12 to 14 inch diameter and 41 to 50 ft. length brought 10c per linear ft.; 19 inch 91 to 100 ft. cost 42c and.26 inch 111 to lfr ft. brought $1.12 per linear ft. "Hewing,87o to 15% extra."
Thus, even a dry and dusty price list, if old enough, can tell its story of interest to both older and younger generations of lumbermen.

President Don Campbell, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, has called a meeting of the Executive Committee at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, I11., November 18, 19 and 20. The secretaries of the state and regional associations are planning to have a secretaries' conference at the same time.
Matters of legislation, distribution and housing will be considered by the Executive Committee. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association are working on a new housing program for 1938 which they expect to have ready to submit to the Executive Committee and the secretaries when they meet.
Lumbermen's Supply, Incorporated, are building a new warehouse, 60 feet by 100 feet long, at North Sacramento, where they will operate a rvholesale business in building materials.
The incorporators of the nerv enterprise are: George K. Adams, Walnut Grove; George L. Meissner, I-odi; James Tully, North Sacramento; Homer Derr, Elk Grove, and E. T. Robie, Auburn.

TO YOU the mark means protection from unethical practices. Wolmanized Lumber* is sold only through regular trade channels. Well-known producers stock it, so you can get prompt shipment in straight or mixed carloads. Or you may have your own lumber treated at our plants.
TO YOUR CUSTOMER, the Wolmanized* mark is assurance of a reliable treating job, pressure-impregnation with Wolman Salts*, the specific safeguard against decay and termite damage. It means clean lumber, that can be nailed, stained, or painted. The salts are odorless, non-leaching, and non-corrosive. And the mark means low cost, less than 2/s addrtion to the expenditure on an ordinary house, because treated material need be used only for subfloors, sills, joists, etc.
THE MARK PAYS. IT HELPS YOU SELL. Aggressive dealers find that selling Wolmanized Lumber wins prospective customers. People who want reliable protection buy where it can be bought. Give them a chance, by telling the story. Our nearest office will gladly give you full details.

The seventh annual Reunion was held at "Parson" Simpkin Sequoia in Calaveras State Park, Sunday, Septeml>er 26 at 2 P. M. in conjunction rvith the first fall meeting of Central Valley Hoo Hoo Club No. 62.
President O. V. Wilson of the Club presided at a dinner at Big Trees Hotel on Saturday evening. Charles Cross of Santa Fe Lumber Co. ably led the 6O guests in community singing and favored them with a fine baritone renrlition of "lfome on the Range." Brief talks were made by John L. Todd, Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland, Frank W. Trower of San Francisco, Prof. Emanuel Fritz of Berkeley, and C. D. Lel\faster of Sacramento. Mr. LeMaster, a Past Snark of the lJniverse, urged support of the re-organization committee of Hoo Hoo which is composed of several leading members of the Minneapolis Hoo Hoo Club, one of the Trvin Cities' finest Service Clubs. Several of those present pledged loyalty to this lumber trade fraternity, formed in 1892. The crowd adjourned to a large camp-fire and spent a very enjoyable evening in songs and stories. Calaveras CCC Camp boys put on several good vaudeville stunts.
The Sunday afternoon l\[emorial Service rvas in charge of Frank Trower, substituting for George M. Cornwall. The meeting was opened by John Todd reading an Invocation delivered by Parson Simpkin at the 32nd Hoo Hoo Annual in New Orleans, September lO, 1923. A telegram from Mr. Cornrvall to Chas G. Bird was read, containing a fine tribute to the late Supreme Chaplain of Hoo Hoo. Mr. Trower also fittingly linked the occasion, the trees and the steadfast lo1'alty of those present in,preserving the memory of the late Parson Peter A. Simpkin. O. V. Wilson read a telegram from Minneapolis Hoo Hoo congratulating California lumbermen and Hoo Hoo for this "annual lighting of the lamps of remembrance for our departed peerless leader." Bruce Moorehead of Escalon sang tenor solos "Trees" and "The E,nd of a Perfect Day," he also sang for the two Saturday night meetings. Charley Cross again led the community singing, with "America" as the opening song and "Auld Lang Syne" in closing. Mrs. Gordon Pierce of Oakland read a tribute to trees bv Bruce Barton
and Richard Ustick of Modesto follorvecl rvith a selection by Richard LeGallienne on the quaint reverellce by woodcutters of Northern Europe and the Dutch East Indies for the trees they are obliged to cut. The speaker of the day rvas Emanuel Fritz, Associate Professor of Forestry, University of California, Berkeley, and Consulting Forester
LeIt to Right. Sected-Frqnk W. Trower, Iohn Todd, Prol. Emcrnuel Fritz. Standing-Alvin Learned cnd Bruce Mooreheqd. of California Redwood Association. His subject, "The Life of the Forest," was a striking contrast betrveen the troubled outside lvorld and the quiet but never-ceasing life forces in the individual trees as rvell as the forest itself.
The chairman called on Lieut. L. L. Clark in charge of Company 3860, Calaveras Big Tree Camp, CCC, who gave a most interesting account of the camp activities and purposes in character building. These boys of 15 to 24 years at this camp are mostly from the dust borvl area in Oklahoma.
Mr. Trower announced that Bert E. Bryan of Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland had been added to the Parson Simpkin Memorial Committee, the other members being:
Chas. G. Bird, C. D. Lel'Iaster, Geo. N[. Cornu'all, Tom L. Gardiner, and himself.
Before closing, thanks tvere extended to N r. Bird for his many helpful efforts to make the joint meeting a success, among which was the bringing of a piano on a Stockton Lumber Co. truck, rvhich added greatly to the enjol'rnent of the outdoor meetings. Appreciations were also expressecl for the hearty co-operation of President O. \r. Wilson ancl members of Central Valley Hoo Hoo Club No. 62.
Thus ended another perfect daf in one of California's most beautiful rnountain forest parks.

Music is to me an ethereal rain, an ever-soft distillation, fragrant and liquid and wholesome to the soul, as dew to fowers; an incomprehensible delight, a joy, a voice of mystery, that seems to stand on the boundary between the sphere of the senses and the soul, and plead with pure, unrefined human nature to ascend into regions of seraphic uncontained life.

A certain breeder of dairy cattle in one of the Southern states is distinguished for two things-the excellent quality of his cattle and his relentless insistence on his hired hands keeping busy. A negro came to him o'ne day and applied for a job as milker.
"You don't look to me like a nigger that wants a steady job," replied the dairyman, eyeing him critically.
"Yassah, boss, Ah wants a stiddy job."
"'Well, go to work, then, but I'm telling yo'u, I don't like your looks.t'
The negro went, and found that he not only had to milk twenty cows, but care for the milk, wash the utensils, curry the cows and feed them, clean the stalls and drive the cows to and from the pasture. Then he gave notice.
"I knew it, I knew it," railed the dairyman, "f knew you didn't want a steady job, you no-account rascal."
"Yassuh, boss, Ah do€s," protested the darky, "but you's been layin' me off six hours ev'y night."

What is believed to be a record in kiln installation work was recently accomplished by the International Cedar Division of the Evans Products Company at their Marshfield, Oregon plant. A new unit of four Moore Reversible CrossCirculation Kilns, each 12 feet wide by 104 feet long were built and installed in 30 days after start of the kiln building construction work.
employ channel iron roof trusses and arched roof design. The fan system, which consists of thirteen special 5('heavy duty dry kiln disc fans for each kiln, is installed overhead above the kiln loads of lumber, and is operated by a single 30 H.P. slow accelerating type motor. As is standard practice, the fans are mounted on a longitudinal shaft extending the length of the kiln.
With the installation of this latest kiln addition, the International Cedar Division are now operating 25 Moore Reversible Cross-Circulation Kilns at their Marshfield plant alone.
This company is the world's largest manufacturer of battery separators and dry their stock exclusively in Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns. However, this latest installation will be employed chiefly for the drying of Venetian blind stock manufactured from their Port Orford cedar lumber' In manufacturing Venetian blinds it is very necessary that the lumber be carefully kiln dried to a final moisture content of from 5 to 6% on high humidity schedules so that it can be resawn satisfactorilY.
The new kilns are of wood construction throughout and
In constructing these dry kiln buildings, the 2x6" laminated walls and roof were painted rvith Cribtite as they were laid on. Roofing cement was used for bonding the roofing paper to the roof. These paint products were furnished by the Paint Department of Moore Dry Kiln Company.
The drying conditions of temperature and humidity are scientifically controlled at each end and throughout the length of the kilns by means of special Moore-kiln temperature and humidity recorder controllers. With this scientific lumber seasoning, Port Orford cedar machines with a high polish and is not very susceptible to cupping and warping, rvhich characteristics make Port Orford cedar the most desirable wood for the manufacture of Venetian blind slats.

The entire kiln operation is under the personal supervision of Harry Sherrill.
Another interesting feature of this installation is that special Moore-Kiln Fin pipe was used in the heating systems instead of plain pipe as is usual practice. The installation of fin pipe permitted the use of only one-quarter the usual amount of pipe required and thus materially reciuced the number of lines of pipe in the kiln and elirninated any restriction to air florv. It is pointed out that the pipe r,vas installed very economically and much time rvas saved by welding the pipe connections in the kiln insteacl of using couplings as is usual practice.

The hundreds of dealers who havc tried the 10-10 Sales Plan don't argue about it. They agree that it is a business builder. They have learned, by experience, that the l0 points of superiority of WOCO and LAMINEX doors give them an important sales advantage and put extra profits in their cash registers. If you don't have all of the facts about the 10-10 Sales Plan write for them today.
Highest honor of. 1937 among trade associations of the country-a bronze plaque awarded annttally by the American Trade Association Executives-was presented yesterday to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, in recognition of the character and importance of its low cost, small home building program, developed during the year under the direction of Association Secretary-Manager Wilson Compton.
Dr. Compton received the trophy late yesterday at the evening session of the ATAE convention at French Lick' Indiana, from the hand of Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, representing business and industrial leaders of the some 35O trade associations representing two-thirds of American induqtry.
The small home building program which comes to public attention particularly at this time by this formal recognition of its worth, is considered best among industry promotion programs of the year, from the point of view of commercial vision, and also as having wide national significance in the housing field. ln 1937 lumber's home building program included three major steps.
First, three demonstration small homes were built in suburban Washington, making possible the establishment of actual rock bottom building costs, necessary in the construction of up-to-date modern small houses, as $5000 and under.
Second, the findings from this experiment rvere made public ol 22,00O lumber dealers in the United States, who were brought gradually to accept the new found facts, that low cost homes are possible and profitable to build.
Thirdly, thousands of dealers throughout the country built demonstration low cost small homes in their communities.
As a result men and women throughout the country have been enabled to see with their own eyes what is possible in the small home building, in the lower cost bracket'
Costs in many sections were proven even less than those .of the original three demonstration homes, refuting thor-
oughly the idea that home ownership is a rich man's privilege, and establishing in the public mind a realization that under the Federal Housing Administration New Insured Mortgage Plan complete small homes costing $5000 and under are possible for the salaried man or woman earning $1200 to $2500 a year. This home demonstration program is regarded by industrial ledders generally as a thoroughly American solution of the housing problems of hundreds of cities where self-respecting citizens working on small salaries are now able to attain privacy, proper sanitary conditions and modern conveniences in complete small homes of their own.
Every home built by the lumber demonstration included living room, dining quarters, kitchen, basement and heating plant, one, two or three bedrooms, bath and electricity. More than 25ffi of these houses trtr'ere built during the year. 500 more are under construction.
The average costs of these demonstrators built in Bethesda in 1936 were $3765.24; $3780.61; and $4120.45.
Outside of Washington, D. C., 1937 average costs for these houses ran from $3165 to $3858.
Lumber's 1938 program in the small home building field will continue the demonstrations of. 1937 on a more extensive scale. This coming year houses adapted to the requirements and varieties of architecture preferred in various sections of the country will be designed and presented as the "Price Tag" Homes of 1938, all to sell at prices less than $5000.
There will be at least eight of these demonstration homes designed to give major consideration to enabling the industry to offer "More House for the Money," and worked out for maximum appeal from points of view qf price, cubic content and style.
Cooperation of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association will again be enlisted to the end of creating interest of lumber dealers in providing the public with these satisfactory small home units.
Washington, D. C.-A meeting of the National Lumber l\{anufacturers Association Board of Directors has been called for November 10, 11 and 12, in New Orleans. On November 11 there will be a general meeting of the National Directors with the semi-annual meeting of the South, ern Pine Association. The program for that day rvill be arranged jointly by the N.L.M.A. and the Southern Pine Association.
This is the first time there has been a meeting of the Directors of the National Association in New Orleans since 1923, and. the Southern Pine Association is planning an entertainment prograrn with its characteristic hospitality.
Aside from the joint program, November 10 will be devoted to committee meetings, which will probably include trade promotion, standardization and advisory committee meetings. There will also be meetings of the corresponding committees of the Southern Pine Association. November 12 will be devoted to the official meeting of the N.L.M.A. Directors.
Preliminary to the New Orleans meetings, W. T. Murray, Chairman of the Standardization Committee of the National, authorized the calling of a meeting of that committee which was held at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, September 30 and October 1. This allowed an interval .of six weeks before the N.L.M.A. Directors' meeting in Neu' Orleans, thus allolving ample time to consider the advisability of seeking revision of American Lumber Standards.

Charles R. Wilson, recently appointed Western manager of the Wood Preserving Division of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, with headquarters in the company's offices at 593 Market Street, San Francisco, \\'as for a number of years with the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company in their treated lumber department. He was manager of the San Francisco office of the American Lumber & Treating Company, which position he resigned September 15 to become associated rvith the Long-Bell Lumber Company.
He announces that his company is in a position to furnish straight and mixed cars of treated and untreated lumber, both Wolmanized and creosoted, also poles and piling. i\{ixed cars can consist of California Pine or any other product of Long-Bell Lumber Companr'. Treating in transit rates are in effect at the Weed plant rvhich permits Willamette Valley Fir to be treated there and consignecl to California points.

The combination of beautiful floors and beautiful ladies, as shown in the accompanying picture, is attracting rvidespread attention in the national advertising campaign just started by E. L. Bruce Co.
The style and beauty of patterned hardwood are featured in these attractive ads, rvhich are currently appearing in Better Homes and Gardens and American F{ome. In addition Bruce advertising is being carried in Nation's Business, Arnerican School Iloard lonrnal. anrl National Real Estate Tournal.
Brnce Finishecl Blocks are featnred in all this advertising because it has been founcl that this specialty product arouses a great deal of interest and results in many incluiries. Inquiries received are passed on to Bruce de'alers. Frequentlv these leads on Blocks opell 1rp the way for dealers to sell many other builcling nraterials that are to be used on the same job.
Trvo slogans are spotlighted in all of these ads"Sold Through Lurnber Dealers Only" and "There Is No Substitute For Hardn'ood Floors." The steady repetition oi this rnessage should result in the public recognizing the fact that hardwood is the best flooring and the retail lumber dealer is the one rvho sells it.
E. L. Bruce Co. has allvays been a consistent advertiser, using trade pa,per advertising, direct mail and their monthlv house organ, "Brrlce Every Month." Through these media architects and contractors have become thoroughly familiar rvith Bruce products. Nor,v that the Bruce sales story is being put over to the homeorvner and to buying factors in big markets a steady increase in the sales of Bruce products is expected. A business man without

The accompanving photograph shows Charlie Moorehead, his hunting dog, King, and the deer he recently killed. When he attended the September meeting of the Central Valley Hoo Hoo Club, rvhich was held in conjunction with the seventh annual Parson Simpkin memorial meeting at the Calaveras Big Trees on September 24 and 25, he planned on taking a little time out to go deer hunting and took his dog and rifle along. Charlie's hunting trip was very successful, and below he tells how he landed this fine forked-horn buck:
"The buck is a forked-horn black-tail deer with horns still in the velvet. He lveighed 90 pounds. I got up at about 5
o'clock and left the hotel at 5:30, drove up the road about 18 miles to Luddy's Camp, driving slowly and rvatching both sides of the road, and as I started down the grade to Blue Creek, I saw this buck and a doe feeding about 50 yards from the road. I stopped the car, opened the door, stepped out with the rifle, whistled so that the deer rvould move so that I could see the forks on his horns, and then shot him through the heart. At that, he ran down the hill for about 75 or 80 yards before he fell. I turned King, my 6-year-old English pointer, out of the car ancl he ran dorvn through the trees, located the deer, then ran back to me, and led me right down to where the deer lay. This is the second buck ior me this year; the other one being a fourpointer, which King led me to.
"Sunday morning before I left the room, I asked Mrs. Moorehead if I should bring back a four-pointer. She said, 'No, a forked-hbrn will do,' and that is what I got. I tol<l her that I would be back at eight, but I lied to her, for I didn't get back until 8:10,
"Jerry Stutz and a few more g'ave me a good razzing Saturday evening when they saw my rifle, and I told them that I was going out the next morning rvhile they slept and kill me a buck."
Charlie is manager and principal owner of the Moorehead Lumber Company at Escalon, and president of the Central Valley Lumbermen's Club.
