Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

If you want an interesting slant at the lumber situation in Southern California, get a load of this. The writer went into a big lumber yard in Los Angeles the other day, and the manager was placing an order for one car of trro by fours, with the stipulation that it must come from the harbor the next day. He told me he had to have them at once to fill some bills, and didn't have any two by fours left on his yard. Just imagine what might happen if they ever started filling in stocks. And they claim that is not iust a local but a national situation.

In Muskegon, Michigan, the whole city recently organized for a week a "bust the buyer's strike" movement, and everyone went out and did their fall shopping as though the events of the past year had never been heard of. Wonder how we could induce the nation to try that on building materials?

That lumber friend of mine I told about in this column last issue was on the right track. If those who have the means to do their shopping and their buying normally would get out and do so, itirould help business ever;rwhere. But you meet many men who talk nothing but hard times to their associates and their families, who have plenty of this world's goods, and with whom that line is utter rot. In the same way we meet men every day who blame the stock market for their alleged'inability to buy normally, who never lost a dime in*the*market. It's just an excuse.

As a matter of fact this is an ideal time for shopping, for buying, and for investing. Values of all sorts are away down. Your shopping or. investing dollar is worth a whole lot more than it was a year ago. You can really get some' thing for a dollar now, all the way from candy to homes. It's a grand time to build, to invest, and to replenish your wardrobe. As soon as demand gets better, prices will be higher'

Speaking of investments, there was never a time in the history of the lumber industry when there were such wonderful opportunities for timber investrnents as there are today. And, like in all other markets, no one u/ants to buy. The minute the lumber market shows signs of health' timber values will rise, and the bargains will be ofr the bargain counter. The man who ever intends to invest money in standing timber should get out and do it today. He will never live to see the time a dollar will buy as much in commercial trees as it will right this minute. Yet timber buyers are like lumber buyers. They will wait until the price

goes rocketing upward, and then rush fur to buy. But his. tory proves that the red moncy ir made by mco who bavc the vision and courage buying whcq thingt ero dcprcsrcd. The mob always buys on thc rising martet; thc risc mco on the depressed.

Much timber is bcing offcred for salc at reduccd pticcs today that couldn't have becn bought at any pricc tro yan ago. And no possible investmcot wiU bring ttc tc'hrrn ovcr a term of years trhat a wise timbcr investmcot ril|. I)o't let anyone sell you short on thc lunbcr in&utry. Soc of these days it will be boming and blooing again iurt like it used to do, and the minutc it docs tinb6 now bcg' ging for buyers will go up 50 pcr ocot in vduc. Anil 50 per cent is a good return on any invcstmmt.

bill of lumber every day for the next month to someone who was not an active prospect for. that particular lumber, you wouldn't know the lumber industry at the end of thirty days, it would be in so much better fix. It would not only furnish employment for the needy laborers at the mills, but it would furnish a splendid example to the retail lumber industry itself. The good habit might stick.

The slight improvement that is noted in the softwood industry generally at the'present time is due to reduced production, and not to increased consumption. And reduced production means more and more men out of work or working short time, and more*and more families suffering.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association in a recent bulletin to its members related the fact that bids on a Government order for timbers and planks at Seattle, Washington, ranged from a low bid of $f2.91 to a high bid of $23.15 F.O.B. cars. The low bid just missed being one-hdf of the high one. The bulletin dealt severely with the fact that the low bid, and most of the other very low bids, were from wholesales. The Wholesalers didn't cut the stock,

History Repeats ltself

Robert Bonner, l5-year-old son of T. A. Bonner, salesman for The Chas. Nelson Co., San Francisco, returned to San Francisco October 19 from Atlantic City, N. J., where he won the junior all-around championship in the finals of the fourth annual National Playground Miniature Aircraft tournament over a big field of boys from practically every large city in the United States. Young Bonner was sent East to represent San Francisco in the finals.

It is interesting to note that his father went East 25 years ago at the age of. 17 as a member of a track team to compete with boys from all over the country, and won his event, the broad ju-p, being the only San Francisco boy to win his event in the National competition.

Two books of much interest to those who lovg trces have just been published, bott on tbc subject of the Cdifornia Redwoods, and particularly the Sequoia Gigantea of thc National Forest. Up to this time little of this characte has been written of these largest and oldest of living things. One is "Big Trees of the Giant Forest " by Col. Crcorge W. Stewart, the man wbo did EoBt to create the Sequoira National Park. The othet is "Big Trces," by Judge S/dtcr Fry and Col. John *. *T".*

One book relates tte fact that the Scquoia dics only by violence. Disease and old age has never ovcrsome ttco. It dcscribes the death of several of these great trees that were struck by lightning and destroyed- Thc boot by CoL Stewart states that when tcrribly burned by forcst 6rec the giant Redwood actrnlly rclrc,Fs its barh and builds buttresses about its roots for ttcir protection.

President Hoover Discusses With Wilson Compton Economic Problems of National Resource Industries

Washington, Oct. 23.-President Hoover today discussed with Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, the economic conditions of the basic or natural resource industries, including the forest products industries. The discussion, having to do primarily with the prospective appointment by the President of a National Timber Conservation Board, was informal.

Mr. Compton suggested that the President, who has had to consider the problems of many of the natural resource products industries individually, might find it opportune to give consideration to the common problems of these groups

Following his conference with the President, Mr. Compton pointed out that many of these industries have found themselves u'orking on only a slender margin of profit in flush times and at a loss in periods of depression. In addition to the problem of physical conservation which Roose velt tackled a quarter of a century ago there is additional need nou' of an economic conservation program that will permit such industries to operate profitably and without rvaste and to make secure their sources of employment upon which in all these natural resource industries fifteen million people depend for their livelihood.

Forest Service Notes California Region

According to a report by the U' S' Forest Service, -the manufacturi of boxei requires more than 14 per cent of all the lumber cut each year in the United States. Fiber containers Iake 7 per cint of all the rvood pulp rrsed in this country.

California develops more electri'c power frorn u'ater, or hydro-electric power, than any other s-tate in the Union. Every year one and three-quarter million horsepowe.r. is mattufaltured by the force of water from streams which have their source in the national forests of the state.

The year following a fire on a brush covered watershed in Souihern California, 100,000 cubic yards of soil were washed from an area of 1.2 square miles, according to studies made bv the U. S. Forest Service.

Tractors have replaced horses in the logging woods oi California and are norv replacing the heavy steam donkey engines. They were first used in 1923 in this state and in 19b, 62 per Cent of all timber logged in the pine regions of California was done by tractors. The U. S. Forest Service approves of their use as they are less liable to cause foresi fires and, if rightly handled, will cause less destruction to the remaining trees that will some day form a forest.

A band of 1500 ewes and lambs grazing on the succulent forage, under permit from the U. S. Forest Service, in the Lassen Nation-al Forest, recently completed a 26-day period without drinking any rvater.

The first regular whip saw set up for manufacturing lumber was at Bodega in 1835. Today the lumber milG of California manufacture annually two billion board feet of lumber, of which 400 million board feet is cut on the national forests of the state'

One California cattle man, in the Tahoe National Forest, first took his stock to the mountains in 1862. He is still using the same rang'e, .now under permit from the U. S. Foreit Service, and is managing his outfit. Another Forest Service permittee started in the cattle business in 1870 and a third in 1874. All of these old stockmen are riding the range each summer in charge of their stock, as they used to do 50 years ago.

Schumacher Progress Continues

"When times get hard, work a little harder," is a business maxirn that is easy to say, but difficult for the average man or firm to follow.

But the Schumacher Wall Board Corporation is making that piece of sage advice a part of their everyday ritual, and they find that the best way to handle business depressions is to forget that there are such things, and hit the ball harder.

That's why you hear nothing about hard times or slow business or depressed markets when you drop into the Schumacher plant in Los Angeles and talk to A. R. Moylan, the genial President and General Manager, or Ea-rl Galbraith, the keen-cutting, straight-shooting Sales Manager.

Instead of pulling in their horns during the past year, Schumacher has taken the bull by the horns, and done some spreading out. Up in Seattle their business has been handled through a manufacturing plant of which they were half owners. They have recently taken over the other half, and become sole owners of the Seattle plant, and Mr. Galbraith leaves for Seattle about November I to look the situation over. He recently returned from Denver where he spent some tirne with their agents in checking up their invasion of the Colorado territory. They have been selling in Colorado for the past year, and are building up a very satisfactory business in that section.

Because business has been abnormally slow for nine months, they have been making abnormal efforts to secure it. They have sent out more dealers' helps and sales literature during this year than ever before in their history, and their salesmen are working with the trade harder than ever before.

Much of the success of Schumacher operations rvith the lumber trade is due to the square deal for dealers' plan on

rvhich they work. In every possible way the protection and assistance of their dealer agenis is in the forefront of the Schumacher merchandising plan. Mr. Galbraith was himself a retail lumberman for years, knows their trials and their troubles, and knows how to co-operate and work rvith them. Witness the fact that since he has been in1 charge of Schumacher sales the company has been host to almost innumerable groups of retail lumber dealers who have been entertained at the splendid plant on Slauson avenue, and shown the manufacturing facilities of the concern. This very excellent contact plant continues, scarcely a month passing that groups of dealers are not shown the plant.

New things are in the ofling. New products that will make the trade sit up and take notice, are under way. Mr. Moylan says that they have been working for months on a new line that they rvill manufacture themselves that he says will create huge interest when it appears. Announcement rvill be soon. And when they get that out, they will go on the trail of others, for Schumacher is not to stand still.

The entire Schumacher business from foundations up has been changed since Mr. Moylan began his progressive administration of that business. The old plant was entirely replaced by a new and modern one, the production rvas increased several hundred per cent, and the new equipment and methods brought about huge improvement in the quality of the products. Their smooth edged board and lath is their pride and joy. They like to believe that you can sell their product through the eyes best of all, its perfect smoothness and finish appealing directly to the buyer. The merchandising program has kept pace with that of the production end, and one of the greatest producing and selling industries in California is the result.

Philippine Mahogany Side Will Present Testimony Before F. T. C. in November

And now the Philippine Mahoganv side of the matter is going to be presented before the Federal Trade Commission.

Last spring the Commission heard the other side of the proposition in a series of sittings on the Pacific Coast'

Since that time the Philippine folks have been girding up their loins, preparing to tear to bits most of the evidence presented by the other side. The hearings rvill commence on November 3rd in Seattle, and sittings will immediately follow at Portland and San Francisco. The big hearing rvill be in Los Angeles, where the Philippine defendants are preparing to fire their biggest guns. They will show by actual demonstration that Philippine will do the things they claim, and that most of the counter claims are based

on ignorance, prejudice, and hear-say. That there will bc fireworks at the l-os Angeles hearirig needs no professional prophet to anticipate.

Wallace Martin, of New York, chief attorney for the Philippine Mahogany interests, has been in Los Angeles for the past rveek rvorking with Walter Scrim, President of the Philippine Mahogany Association, and with the other leading Philippine adherents who will be active in presenting their case here. Daniel Forbes, of Washington, who will be associated with Mr. Martin in this case, will go direct to Seattle, but will be in California for the hear' ings. Mr. Martin has also left for Seattle.

iShingle Bur@u Recommends Copperclad Valley for Use With Wood Shingles

into the surface of the roofing, these overlaps form shoulders to shed water back to the center of the valley. Furthermore, the unusual overall width furnishes the added margin of coverage so essential to watertight valley construction. In the past, the weakness of every sloping roof has been its valleys. However, with Copperclad Valley material, a new measure of protection has been added to roof ..construction,-insuring the-same degree of permanency in the valley as in the balance of the rbof.

The application of the valley is extremely simple and economical. No waste of material or difficult soldering operations are necessary. The Copperctad Valley strip is first cut to length from the roll, then placed in the valley of the roof and nailed into positicin just like any roll roofi.tg. It will be noted that the nailing is done through the asphalt, rather than through the copper, thus eliminating the hazard of leaks around the shank of the nail, as in the case with other metal valleys. The shoulders of the asphalt roofing on either side of the copper strip fortn a convenient guide for the trimming and nailing of the shingles.

Although the lumber dealer has long been looked upon as the logical source of supply for all materials entering into the construction of roofs, yet only recently has he been able to capitalize one of the most important phases of this business, that of metal valley material.

Ifowever, with the recent advent of the new product. Copperclad Valley, manufactured by The Flintkote Company, this profitable market has been opened to the lumber deal with the result that a large share of valley business has been diverted to him, thus forming a logical companion sale item for every order of sloping roof material. Some idea of the existing volume of business on metal valley is revealed in the fact that during 1929, more than 18,000,000 feet of this material were sold.

Realizing the advantages of this new product and its vast sales possibilities, the Red Cedar Shingle Bure4u recently mailed the letter as reproduced herewith to lumber dealers in the eleven western states, stres.sing the importance of featuring Copperclad Valley in connection with the sale of Cedar Shingles. To quote from the letter: "Since, from the homeowner's-standpoint, the performance of his Cedar Shingle roof is no better than 'its valleys, this new product (Copperclad Valley) merits ourattention. It is a valley material of sheet copper beyond question the most permanent, weather-resisting metal for valley purposes. Dealers selling Cedar Shingles can realize an EXTRA PROFIT on roof jobs by promoting the sale of this product. We recommend Copperclad Valley material for use with rvood shingles."

Copperclad Valley may be used on every type of sloping roof. It is put up in 50 ft. rolls, 2lrl inches wide, and is made of a high-quality asphalt roofing with a l0-inch strip of pure copper imbedded down its center, of which 9 inches are exposed, the other inch being covered by a half inch overlap of the asphalt roofing on either side of the exposed strip. Besides serving to weld the copper firmly

Although Cirpperclad Valley has been on the market only a short time, The Flintkote Company report wide distribution of the product in all territories, owing to the fact that the item, besides filling a long standing need: offers the lumber dealer an excellent opportunity to build up the unit of sale on every order for sloping roof material.

Plywood Sheathing Introduced in House Construction

Plywood sheathing is an innovation in house construction that is being introduced in a residence being erected in Aberdeen, Washington, by A. R. Wuest, vice president and production manager of the Harbor Plywood Corporation, which operates large plywood and door factories in that citv.

ing to bring about new methods of residence construction.

The panels used for sheathing in this house are S-ply fi-inch Douglas Fir Harbord Plywood but where this thickness is not obtainable or where further economy is desired, S-ply fu-inch is recommended as suitable.

The panels are sprayed with boiled linseed oil and the edges are sealed with emulsified asphalt bcfore they ar,e nailed in place. They are applied directly on the studding and nailed securely. Because plywood will not split, it can be nailed firmly and this stiffens the entire structure. Siding is applied directly to the sheathing.

"This type of construction," declares Clarence George, the architect of this house, "produces a wall of unusual strength and of such insulation qualities that it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. The saving in fuel will be important and the walls will be protected against dampness and wind.

Plytooott sheathing in place. Note how the icittts are seahd.

Some months ago a "Plywood house" was erected in Hoquiam, also on Grays Harbor, b'y E. W. Daniels, another ofiicer of the same €ompany. The details of this building have been described in a booklet "So We Built Our Home of Harbord Plywood" which has just been issued by the Harbor Plywood Corporation. Many of the same principles of construction which were worked out in building the Daniels home are being adopted for the Wuest residence, but in this later house the constractor, J. A. Sundquist, is going even further in his use of plywood.

Investigation and experiment have convinced Mr. Sundquist that plywood panels for sheathing offer many advantages-so rnany in fact that he predicts freely that it is go-

"The use of plywood for sheathing saves labor and hastens construction, as the large panels are eesy to fit and aPPly-

"It has been found that the strength of the panels and their freedom from splitting permits nailing with stronger nails and thus insuring great resistance to longitudinal thrust and distortion. The oil and asphalt treatment prevents any moisture absorption and the stabitity of the walls is insured by the fact that plywood does not shrink, swell or buckle. This would be an advantage, the contractor claims, when the interior walls were to be finishcd in plaster as this would help prevent cracking." fn the Wuest homc, however, all inside watls and ceilings and most of the fl@rs, will also be made of plywood. This material will be used in cabinet work and in many other places where it has been found advantageous.

Announcing the New Creo-Dipts

The Creo-Dipt Company is announcing improvements on Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles so radical that they are now called the "New Creo-Dipts".

Among the changes and improvements, the company lists uniform colors which prevent pronoun.ced variation in the shade of the timber from showing through, a'heavier coating of stain forced into the wood to double the shingle's color life, and dustproof cartons which prevent spoilage and waste in transit, in the dealer's stock and on the job.

A recent announcement to the trade points out the advantages to the lumber dealer in selling the New Creo-Dipts. It says, "The dealer wants the New Creo-Dipts because they build satisfied customers and eliminate complaints that reflect on him. Because they are packed in cartons that keep them clean and eliminate the loss of stock damaged and soiled in his sheds. Because he can now take back unbroken bundles of any standard size and color from his

Explaining the reasons for these changes, which took months to make and involved the entire rnanufacturing process, the Creo-Dipt Company says, "To sell merchandise whether it is automobiles, refrigerators or shingles, you must keep pace with the times. People today won't buy the things that were good. enough for dad. They demand new and better products or they turn to something else. They want a better stained shingle, for exampl*and the New Creo-Dipts give them exactly what they want at no increase in price".

The New Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles are being extensively advertised in builder and dealer trade papers, through direct by mail, and in national consumer magazines.

September Biggest Month for 4-Square Packaged Lumber Sales

Demonstrating the efficacy of a carefully engineered sales program even under adverse business conditions, is a report from Weyerhaeuser Sales Company to the effect that 4-Square package lumber sales for the month of September marked the biggest week and the biggest month in the threC-year history of 4-Square sales.

Weyerhaeuser attributes this achievement to the enthusiastii support of its sales force for b product in which th-gy have confidence, to the co-operation of lumber dealers who are continually discovering new sales potentialities in the

4-Square Franchise, and to the response of the public to the ambitious advertising program inaugurated some two months ago in the lumber-trade Press, architectural and building p-apers and popular magaiines of nation-wide distribution.

There is a lesson of vital importance to retailers in the success of the Weyerhaeuser 4Square campaign.; namely, that a profitable market can be developed for a quality product even in times'of business depression when that product is properly merchandised and supported by effec' tive advertising.

Pack ForestrylFellowships of Interest to Industry

Washington, D. C., Oct. 30.-Six to eight fellowships in forestry will be granted for the year 1931-32 by the Charles Lathrop Pack Forest Education Board, which is now receiving applications, it has just been announced.

Training men for leadership in all phases of forestry, industrial and economic as well as public forestry and research, is the purpose of these fellowships in forestry which were recently initiated with eight successful candidates taking advanced training. The work of these men covers such subjects as industrial forestry, the management of forest estates, co-operative marketing of forest products, silvicultural management, and forest pathology.

The fellowships are not restricted to academic or research problems, but are available for training men in the practical problems faced by business executives in managing forest properties. The field chosen for training may 6e in the general practice of forestry, in the forest industries, in thd teaching of forestry, in forest research, or in the development of public forest policy.

The fellowships are of interest to the lumber and other forest industries, according to the Forest Education Board, n_ot only because they will strengthen advanced training in all phases of, forestry, but because they offer an oppoitu- nity to combine forestry and industrial training. - -

They can be used for example, to give foresters advanced training not only in the customary forestry subjects, but in outstanding financial and economic problems of the lumber industry as related to forest perpeluation and in more systematically applying the methods of industrial and economic research to these problems. Many of these economic problems, such as overproduction, have an important bearing on the adoption of forestry, and are moriover of immediate industrial importance.

It is hoped that the winning of a fellowship under this foundation will be recognized as a distinctive honor, and that the fellowships will stimulate forest students and professional workers of outstanding qualifications and rvill-encourage men of marked ability and aptitude for leadership to enter the profession of forestry.

The awards will be made to gifted men who demonstrate natural powers of ,intelle,ctual and personal leadership and who intend to make forestry their life work. Special empla9is will be placed on character, intellect, imagination, initiative, industry, resourcefulness, adaptability, ability to deal with men, ability to assume responsibility, ancl per- sonal interest in forestry. The fellowihips which will^ ordinarily be restricted to men of American or Canadian citizenship will range from $500 to 92500.

Applications must be submitted to the board not later than Janu-ary 15, 1931. Detailed announcements and ap- plication _forms can be obtained from Ward Sheparcl, Setretary of the Charles Lathrop Pack Forest Education Board, 1214 Sixteenth street, N. W., Washington, f). C.

Now the Time to Build Says Buildin$ Loan Official

The prospective home builder should not delay but should borrorv now and build. This is the urgent advice of H. S. Wanzer, President of the California Building-Loan League. Every element of cost in home construction has decreased in recent months to the point of remarkable bargain prices, making it possible to construct a home today for approximately $4,2W, that would have cost in 1923 as much as $6,000, according to a statement issued by the head of the building and loan movement of this State.

"This is decidedly a buyer's market", said Mr. 'Wanzer. "The supply of materials just now is greater than the demand. Prices are at low levels but this cannot be expected to continue for any great time. Alrerady lumber and cement have shown an upward turn and it is to be expected that the other major materials which go into home construction will soon show a similar turn. Today every advantage is on the side of the home builder. Ffe can build a better home, the kind of house he always has wanted, for less money than at any time during the past decade."

The reason for this is that building materials are still selling considerably below prices f.or 1925. Examples of these prices, compared with five years ago, are as follows: Cement, 30 per cent less; construction lumber, 30 per cent less; hardwood, 15 per cent; sash, door and millwork, 35 per cent; electric equipment, 20 per.cent; plumbing, rough and finish, 25 per cent; rock and sand, 20 per cent; paint, 1O per cent; hardware, 2O per cent; heating plants, 20 per

cent; glass, fr per cent; metal lath,22 per cent; reinforcing steel, S per cent; steel windows, ll pCr cent; steel jgi"!q: l0 per cCnt; structural steel, l0 per cent; common brick, 30 peicent; roof tile, 3O per cent, ind labor costs through increased efficiency 15 per cent less. These figures show an average reduction of 20 per cent in nineteen major materials.

Legitimate building is always justified and is now receiving considerable encouragement from the government and financing interests. Money is comparatively easy to borrow and can be obtained on favorable terms, particularly to construct single family dwellings ai the vacancy factor in this class of housing is considered low. The family man now paying rent, who has the confidence and intelligence to build his own home at this time, will find the material dealer, the craftsman and the financing agency ready and anxious to render him the highest tyPe of service. It is to his best interest to take advantage of this situation.

The 23.4 California building and loan associations are interested primarily in loans on small homes, the average of loans now in force does not exceed $2,5m. Loans are all made on a monthly repayment plan of financing which helps the home buyer to actual ownership of his property and does away entirely uiith the expense of periodic renewals. The popularity of the helpful building and loan type of financing is indicated in that loans are now in force on l37.O0O California homes.

Vancouver District Water-Borne Lumber Exports

Total water-borne exports of lumber and logs from Vancouver and Nelv Westminster during the first eight months of this year decreased about 8 per cent under the same period of last year, while water-borne shipments to the United States increased about 9 per cent, states a report from Vice Consul Nelson P. Meeks at Vancouver to the Lumber Division of the Department of Commerce. Waterborne exports for the first eight months of 193O, in board feet, were 331,862,000 as compared with 362,712,W for the same period of l9D, while to the United.States ports were respectively 84,525,000 compared with 77,775.000 board feet. Water-borne exports during August, 193O, as compared with August, I9D, in board feet, were respectively 49,n1,000 and 4O,175,000; while to the United States ports were

11,713,000 and 8,O43,000 board feet. Shipments to Canadian Atlantic ports were in board feet for the first eight months of 193O as compared with the same period ol 198, resPectively 27,81,000 and fl,8/W; while during the month of August, 1930, compared with August, 1929, were respectively 33nW and 3,100,000 board feet.

The saw-log cut in British Columbia decreased about 6 per cent during the first eight months of this year as compared with the same period of last year, as shown by the following figures on saw logs scaled in this period: first eight months of 1930 were 1,722,7Y,W board feet compared with 1,828,133,000 for the same period of 1929; while for August, 193O, were 183,764,0m board feet compared with 251,113,000 for August, 1929.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 20.-Industry's first windciwless factory building, entirely without daylight and embodying radically advanced ideas for the scientific creation of ideal light and other working conditions for employees, is to be constructed by the Simonds Saw & Steel Co., Fitchburg, Mass., largest makers of saws in the world.

Plans for the novel $1,500,000 plant, said to mark the most drastic departure in industrial building in recent years, have been announced by I\{r. A. T. Simonds, president of the lOGyear-old company. Decision of the company to build at this time is based upon the confidence of officials that business recovery is near and their belief that present construction costs are favorable for immediate exDansion against future needs.

The structure will cover nearly two city blocks and will have solid walls and roof punctuated by neither u'indows nor skylights. Elaborate systems will be installed for lighting, ventilation and noise absorption through acoustical walls and ceilings and other means. The contract, placing complete responsibility for design and construction of the plant, has been awarded the Austin Co., international firm of engineers and builders, with headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio.

Plans for the plant are the result of exhaustive research accomplished with the aid of every resource of modern science, Biological and psychologi,cal studies have been made to determine the effects upon human efficiency of such factors of workshop environment as light, temperature, sounds and color. One of the many innovations resulting from

these studies will be orange-colored paint for the machines, to lift their visibility and help reduce accidents. Walls and ceiling will be blue, green and white. The lighting system will be arranged to supply ultra-violet rays.

The company's aim is to surround its workmen with conditions found to be most ideallv conducive to safety and good health and tb freedom from'fatigue and nervous itrain, with consequent better production. Experiments conducted by the company have indicated that an increase in efficiency by as much as 33 per cent may result from the new methods.

Illumination of the great building, with its five acres of floor space, will be accomplished by hundreds of 1000-watt lamps. The lighting system will provide uniform light intensity, not possible in daylight factories, dependent upon the cleanliness of windows or upon changing conditions of the weather.

In order to combat distracting noises in the plant, all heavy machines and drop hammers are to rest on cork pads isolated from the remainder of the floor. All air in the building will be changed every ten minutes, fresh air en. tering the building being purified aud tempered to the proper temperature.

The Simonds Company was founded in 1832 to produce scythes. Later it started the manufacture of saws and now has eight factories and a steel mill. Production of three of the factories, one in Chicago and the others in Fitchburg, will be corlcentrated in the new plant. Construction work is.to start in the next few weeks by the Austin Co., and the plant will be ready for operations early in the spring.

Successful Fire Season On California Forests

Rain and snow in the mountain regions of California during the past two weeks have materially reduced the fire danger within the national forests of the State, according to ' Regional Forester S. B. Shorv of the U. S. Forest Service headquarters in San Francisco. While the storms were insufficient to end the fire season, the likelihood of a serious fire situation developing is said to be remote in the northern timbered forests, and several forest supervisors have made a substantial reduction in the number of forest guards and patrolmen, while the Modoc and Stanislaus National Forests have removed the ban on smoking.

The national forests in Southern California, valuable principally for watershed protection and recreation, were not so fortunate as their northern neighbors and received much less precipitation during the late storms. Consequently, the risk of fires starting is still high and these forests are retaining their complete fire fighting organizations.

On the whole, the fire season of 1930 has been the most favorable in recent years, said Mr. Show. To a considerable de'gree this was due to the cooler weather conditions that prevailed in the mountains this summer. There were fewer protracted periods of low relative humidity than usual, which means that the moisture content of the air was uniformly higher and thus gave fires less chance to burn rapidly and lpread to conflagration size. Increascd Federal appropriations made it possible to emplo.'- more forest guards and patrolmen, and to buv much ireeded fire fighting equipment. This factor also had an important part in holding fires to a small acreage.

The seasonts record shows that to Sept. 3O a total of 1121 fires have occurred on areas protected by the U. S. Forest Service, or 71 more fires than during tte same Perid in 19?9. Only 166 of these 6res, however, reached a size ol ten acres or over, as against 2ll ten-acre fires last year, a reduction of 5 per cent in the number of large 6res.

An encouraging sign in the fire record, says the regional forester, is the reduction in man-caused fires from 789 to l9D to 717 in 193O. This indicates that the users of forest and brush lands are slowly but surely recognizing the incipient damage that lurks in the lighted match, tobacco and camp fire, and, as a rule, are observing the few simple rules for care with fire in the mountains.

Smokers' fires, which are the most prevalent of all causes in the national forests, dropped flrom ?ffi in 19?9 to 251 itt 193O, but still accounted for 35 per cent of all fires caused bv human carelessness with matches and tobacco.

-The area of government and private lands burned in 1930 within the boundaries of the l8 national forests of California was less than one-third of the total for l9D, or 28,055 and 90,133 acres, respectively. The cost of fire suppression in the national forests was $21O,00, or a reduction of $118,000 over the cost of fire control last year.

The four national forests in Southern California-Angeles,.Cleveland, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara----established a splendid fire record for the season. The total number of 6res in these forests, as compared with 1929, was reduced from 171 to ll9; and man-caused fires from llo to 81. Marked reduction in the area burned over was also made, as follows: National forest land, 21,899 acres in 1929 to 3,188 acres in 1930, and private lands inside national forests, 8,412 acres to 606 acres. Suppression costs were reduced from $95,49O to $3L,792.

While present conditions indicate the fire season should come to a successful conclusion rvithout further serious outbreaks, the experience of past years has also indicated October to be a disastrous period when the usual precipitation fails for that month. Should serious weather conditions again arise, states Mr. Show, the national forest 6re protective organization will be strengthened in sufficient numbers to meet the emergency.

Electrically Operated Logging Trains in Head-on Collision

When two Westinghouse 65-ton electric locomotives met head-on while pulling two logging trains on the railroad of The Red River Lumber Company near 'Westwood a pe_ culiar combination of ,circumstances prevented loss of life or injury to the crews.

The Red River railway is equipped with block signals and the train movements are controiled by a train disp-atch_ er at Westwood and an assistant dispatlher at the'West .,1d. In this case signals and orders i"ere .orr.ct and the qlsparcners and trarn crews u,ere ,cleared of blame for the accident. The meeting occurred at sunset and the west P_oYT9,9tsin.er was bll9.a by t!t9 sun which *", ai.."tty ln hls lrne of vision. This caused him to run past the stop board.

The east bound crew was pulling a heavy train of logs. They could see the other train as"it rushei i"i";r;- th;; and had time to bring their train to a full stop ";J j"-;

to safety. The east bound locomotive, standing still and backed by the heavy loads of logs, took most of-the shbck and received the more serious damage. The west bound crew, which could not see the danger ahead, were saved by the fact that their locomotive plowed into the east bouni locomotive and was not badly damaged. The fact that the west bouud train was hauling a heavy tank car between the engine and the epptl logging cars saved the engine crew ]t9T !"t-"g smashed by the logging cars whi,ch telescoped behind the tank car.

While the property loss was heavy, sidered a miracle of good luck that no locomotives were rebuilt in the Red turned to service.
