Marine Architecture Featu red bv Red River Hardwood Panels

When the "President Coolidge," the new $8,000,000 turboelectric express liner of the Dollar Lines arrives in San Francisco early in November, she will carry back to California the product of a California industry which was shipped across the continent to the Atlantic Seaboard wheie the vessel was built.

The "President Coolidge" and the "President Hoover," twin ships, are the largest and finest commercial vessels ever built in America and will ply between New York, San Francisco and the Orient in the regular Dollar Line sailings. Their length is 653 feet, depth 52 feet, beam 81 feet, displacement 33,800 tons and they will carry a crew of 30O and !.260 passengers.

These palatial liners mark a new era in trans-Pacific travel and another achievement for the Dollar Lines. The many years of pioneering work by the veteran Captain Dollar and his struggle to establish the American flag in world shipping is one of the outstanding epics of our merchant marine.

Every known device for safety, comfort and luxury has been built into these boats with many entirely new innovations. From Arctic cold to tropic heat passengers experience a degree of comfort only obtainable by the latest achievements in heating, refrigeration and air conditioning. The nine decks contain the finest appointments of the modern hotel and home, a sound-picture theatre, swimming pool and sand beach, stock exchange room, garage, gymnasium, childrens' playroom, shopping corridor and 51 radio loud speakers are among the entertainment features.

The interior is a distinguished example of marine architecture featured by the paneling of hardwoods on walls and ceilings. The finest American and imported woods were used including many of rare and beautiful tropic. growth. These panels were made by the Red River Lum'\ ber Company at \Mestwood, California, and shipped to/ Newport News, Virginia, where the vessels were built./

The manufacture of the finest grade of hardwood plywoods on the Pacific Coast is another example of pioneering a new field. The hardwoods are mostly shipped to this California factory from the Atlantic seaboard, built onto California Pine cores and shipped back to compete in .cost and quality with products built in the East. Extensive factory facilities, highly organized production and superior quality of product are necessarY.

Hardwood veneers manufactured by the Red River Lumber Company are being used in the finest ocean liners and private yachts as well as in notable office buildings, hotels and homes in the East and Middle West.

The Stipend Of Life

I bargained with life for a penny, And life would pay no more; However I begged at cvening, When I counted my scanty scorc.

For life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wage6 Why you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn dismayed, That any wage f had asked of life, Life would have paid.

A Fair Question

Home from the trenches on leavg Jock wandered into the finest restaurant in London. He selected a comfortable table, sat down and called a waiter. To him he said in a commanding voice:

"A glass of water."

The water was brought, and Jock took a sandwich from his pocket and settled back to enjoy himself. The waiter, amazed at such nerve, called the manager, and escorted hirn to the table where.the Scotchman sat eating. The waiter said:

"This is the manager-"

Whereupon the Scotchman looked up and demanded:

"So you're the manager? I was just on the point o' sending for you. Why isn't the orchestra playing?',

Making Friends

When a man becomes bitter and sour and begins to think and feel that every one is against him, he will inevitably begin to treat them in such a manner so that they will be. If he thinks and acts as though everyone is a friend, unconsciously he will conduct himself so that all will be his friends. If we put into our relations with our fellow men a full and overfowing measure of cheer and good will, we may rest assured that even so it will bc returned to us. The hand rnay be cunning and the head may contain the brain that can conceive the most britliant thoughts, but every good worthy impulse comes from thc heart. Strengthen your faith in men, think kindly of them, believe that they ARE your friends, and in thc long nn thcy will be.-Thc Kalends.

The Opportunist

An Optimist is a man who, when he is told the wolf ir at his door, refuses to believe a word of it and thereforo, upon opening his door thus unprepared, is promptly gobbled up by the wolf.

A Pessimist, upon learning that the wolf is at the door, believes it is no use to struggle, so he opens the door end gives himself up to the wolf.

An Opportunist, however, learns with lnterest that tbc wolf is at the door. After studying the situation thoroughly he lures the wolf into the house and then emerges aftcr a brief interval, clad in a new wolf skin coat.
