Federal Conciliator Works for Strike Settlement
The shipping strike on the Pacific Coast ordergd by 9e1en maritime unions on Qctober 29 affecting 4O,000 dock and ship workers has tied up all coastal ports, and as we go to piess there is little prospect of an early settlement in lignt.' E. F. McGrady, Alsistiant Secretary of Labor, is in Sin Francisco and is working towards a resumption. of negotiations between the shipowners and the striking unlons.
With lumber cargo shipping paralyzed, the strike is already having a far reaching effect, Many of the tidewater milli and logging camps in the Northwest have closed or curtailed opeiatibns and at the present time more than 10,000 men have been laid off. If the strike extends over a long period, it is thought that about 30,000 of the 50,000 men employed in the Fir region will be out of work.

In anticipation of the strike, the California retail dealers bought heivily. Building in California is very active and the lumber demand is good. Rail shipments are increasing and coming into all sections of the State.
Building activity in the West reached i1s greatest momentum since the depression commenced with building permits from 92 of. the largest cities in the ten Western states and British Columbia recording a llo/o increase in October 1936 over October 1935, according to the Western Monthly Building Survey prepared by H.R. Baker & Co., California investment banking firm.
These reporting cities revealed 13,903 permits were issued in Oclober 1936, totaling $24,@1,481, against 11,115 permits totaling $11,2169,416 in the year previous.
The twenty-five cities reporting the largest volume of permits during the past month showed a total ol $N,?67,538, an increase of.124.53/o over the W,O27,O26 reported for the same group in October 1935, and a gain ol 24.93/o over the $L6,272,961 for September 1936.
While Los Angeles maintained first rank among the 25 leading Pacific Coast cities, with a total of $8,@2,068, San Francisco-recorded the greatest dollar and percentage gain of the principal cities, and followed in second position. Oakland was in third place with Portland, Long Beach, San Diego, Denver, Glendale and Seattle following in consecutive order.
Increases among these twenty-five leading cities in October over the previous month and corresponding month last year were made by the folowing: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, Denver, Glendale, Seattle, Spokane, Berkeley, Beverly Hills, Vancouver, B. C., Inglewood, Tacoma, Pasadena, Fresno, San Diego, and San Mateo.
The following were added to the group of 25 reporting largest volume of permits during the past month: Denver, Seattle, Spokane, Inglewood, Tacoma, Tucson and San Jose.

WEYE 4.58U ARE LUMBER
IMP0RTAIIT changes in the manuracrure, distribution and sale of lumber are converting dealers into better lumber merchants-enabling legitimate retailers to comp€te for business on a sound basis. The \?'eyerhaeuser Franchise has contributed much to this improved situation.
The 4-Square Franchise is predicated on the perfection of better, more easily usable lumber products which bring substantial labor savings to the builder -and a soundly constructed building to the owner. 4-Square Lumber is delivered to the retailer with square, smooth ends and in exact standard lengths which eliminate a vast amount of trimming on the job. Around these basic product refinements'Weyerhaeuser has built a modern merchandising program that operates to the distinct benefit of the dealer-a program that enables him to sell lumber constructively and profitably.
WEYERHAEUSER S

149 California Street San Franosco, California
Forceful selling helps, attractively printed, illustrating the economies of 4-Square in farm building construction, new homes and modernization, coupled with comprehensive sales suggestion all backed by national advertising, are a powerful business asset in the 4-Square Franchise. They are 'helping 31500 retailers to lift lumber from the unsound, un-profitable ((cost per thousandtt basis to the more logical t(cost per job" basis. These strong selling features are given even greater impetus by Veyerhaeuser Finance Services which enable the dealer with the 4-Square Franchise to sell completed jobs and silence the voice of the competitor who depends on price alone.
The 4-square Franchise has proved itself, emphatically, in the hands of better dealers-because it has all the elements needed to v/in clean, profitable, healthy business. If you want the full 4-Square Franchise story, we will be glad to tell it to you.

And Turke y Day"-oi *"" ".. Some bird, that turkey I Whether you consider him historically or as the center-piece for a big home dinner, he plays a splendid part in our national life. Welt said the poet when he wrote: rFt*
To feed the hungry pilgrims, He suffered and he bled; And yielded up his plumage
To make a feather bed. :t ,t rt
His praise should be sung by our bravest and best. He needs the sort of eulogy that my old friend John Bonner once gave the Texas chicken. John was inviting a convention of Hoo.Hoo in Chicago to hold their next meeting in Texas, and he said: :1.**
"I invite you in the name of those yallerJegged Texas chickens, who raise their raucous voices in the wee small hours of the morning, testifying to their willingness to fulfill the destiny provided for them by their Maker, and lay down their simple lives, that you may feast.', tfrt*
The American Eagle has really had alt the breaks, getting his picture spread all over our money and our insignias, etc. \Mhat's he got that the turkey hasn't?
I've heard a full ream of election day gags and stories since November 3, but the best one I've heard is about a dear old lady, the mother of a good lumber friend of mine, and I'll guarantee it's true. She is very old, and partly crippled, and lives with her son. She is one of Mr. Roosevelt's most enthusiastic admirers. Election night she sat up until midnight and listened to the returns. She was still anxious, and asked her son before she went to bed, "Son, do you think there's liable to be a change by morning?" He likes to "kid" her, so he said, "Yes mother, f think there's likely to be."
She woke him at five-thirty the next morning. The paper boy had just thrown the morning paper on the porch, and he went down and got it. Afraid to look herself, she
asked him, "Son, how does it look?" He said, ,,Ma, it looks kind of bad." She said, "What do you mean, son?" He said, "Ma, it looks like the Republicans are going to carry two states." She didn't even see the joke. She said, "Son, how do you suppose that happened?" He said, ,,I don't know, Ma; I suppose those Republicans just stole 'em." She thought about that a minute, and said, "Son, you know it's getting so nowadays they can't hardly have an election without some crooked work, can they?,' rl. * ,k
I heard a preacher, the other day, deliver one of the finest talks to a group of business men that I've ever listened to. I got an awful wallop out of his remarks, which were not only wisely made, but delightfully and forcefully delivered. But the gist of his talk was that for years the business men looked down on the clergy to a very large extent, and were generally of the opinion that what the churches needed was better business management. He says that since the depression they don't hear any more about that.
'|irl.*
While business went to smash in gvery line and in all directions, the churches generally came through safe and sound, in good working order, and with their doors wide open. He told of two counties he knew of in which every single bank folded up, BUT NOT A SINGLE CHURCH OF ANY DENOMINATION CLOSED ITS DOORS. And he expressed the conviction that he wouldn't give a thin dime for the future of the United States if the churches weren't here to furnish their uplift and their guidance. And hundreds of business men rose and thundered their approval of his remarks. ***

I think he convinced many men of many minds right there that it is not more business in religion we need, but more religion in business. However, let me add that there aren't many men in the churches so magnificently able to tell the story as this splendid gentleman. I thought him a worthy successor to Paul; and Paul was the Bible's supersalesman.
***
Ever hear about the time Paul entered the strange and pagan city of Athens, unknown and unheralded? And in the market place he saw a mighty statue dedicated "To The Unknown God." And Paul gathered the populace around
him when he told them: "No longer will your God be unftnown, for f know Him and I have come to tell you about Him." And he had their attention from the start. He was religion's greatest traveling salesman. And this man I heard the other day could sure do the work until another Paul comes along.
**:i
Said a well known business thinker the other day: "If the great American flair for gambling HAS to be indulged, why not take a flier in a carefully chosen piece of real estate property? The margin required in the purchase of a home is now far less than that required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange in the purchase of 100 shares of your favorite stock. Probably the reason for this is the far greater safety in the home investment."
***
Pretty swell idea, eh? Tell your folks, "If you MUST gamble, buy real estate ! The danger element is the smallest known." This same authority said further: "Comparatively a non-liquid commodity, shelter lags behind the movement of the other necessities of life. Food has advanced 40 per cent from the low, clothing has advanced 25 per cent, but rentals are still only 16 per cent above the low point.
"From a national standpoint, a group of important happenings has brought real property to the very top of the list of desirable investments at this time. Real estate activity and prices move in fairly well defined cycles, with peak periods occurring every ten to seventeen years. These periods are longer than, and do not always coincide with, the more generally recognized business cycle. :F ,t rf
"The last peak in the realty cycle occurred in 1923-25. In 1926, some time before the crest of the business boom, real estate had definitely entered a major decline. During this decline the usual accompanying features have been observable; descending prices, descending rentals, increasing vacancies, increasing doubling up of families, decreasing marriage rate, a practical cessation of new construction in many areas. With a definite reversal of all these trends clearly indicated, we are face to face with an opportunity to profit from selective purchases of real estate, such as does not come more than once or twice during our business lives."
*{<{<
In short, there is no better investment today than intelligently selected real estate. My own opinion is that rrle are just starting another realty up-swing that is likely to be tremendous in sqope and activity. And THAT, my building friends, is where YOU come in.

Appreciating the possibilities of developing new business and, at the same time rendering the publi'c a specialized and essential service, the San Joaquin Lumber Co., of Stockton, a year ago inaugurated its new home department under direction of Dewey E. Bowen.
The department saw the possibilities of increasing sales through ,cooperating with those making FHA loans. The development of the new home department necessitated an educational campaign, local newspapers being the principal medium.
The public was informed that the red tape and bothersome details the layman generally encounters were entirely eliminated when the San Joaquin Lumber Company handled the job. This service, which included not only assisting with the plans, securing competent contractors and builders, supplying the materials, but also aiding in securing the loan, appeals to the public. Evidence of the fact is shown by the greatly increased volume of business the company is enjoying.
All of which goes to show that modern merchandising of practically any commodity must include a constructive service.

\(/ilson Heads Central Lumber Co. at Stockton
O. V. Wilson has been elected president of the Central Lumber Qompany, Stockton, succeeding S. H. Rothermel who has retired and is moving to Portland. Mr. Wilson was formerly secretary-treasurer of the company.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Rothermel were associated together in the Central Lumber Company since 1919 when the company was incorporated to take over the assets of the C. L. , Hatch Lumber Company with which Mr. Wilson was connected.

Mr. Rothermel's retirement follows the sale of his financial interest in the Central Lumber Company to Mr. Wilson and his three sons, who are also members of the company. They represent the third generation of the family in the lumber business.
The Central Lumber Company built an entire new yard in 1928 and is one of the most modern ooerations in the San Joaquin valley.
Mr. Wilson was born in Kentucky. His father, Joseph E. Wilson, was a lumberman and sawmill owner. He was brought up in the business having cut, logged, rafted and floated the logs down stream; however, it was not until l9l7 that he reentered the lumber business in California.
In the past, Mr. Wilson has been prominent in civic affairs in Stockton, having been president of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A., and a charter member and vicepresident of the Kiwanis Club. He is well known in lumber tircles. In 1927 he was etected president of the Central Valley Lumbermen's Club, and he was also active in Hoo Hoo affairs.
Paul W. Wilson is secretary of the company. He is a graduate of the College of the Pacific, where he was prominent in student activities and a member of the varsity football team for four years. He has been in the oil business since graduating from college and is not active in the management of the Central Lumber Company.
Vincent 'Wilson, the new treasurer, has been connected with the Central Lumber Company for the past two years. Previously he was connected with the Redwood Manufacturing Company of Pittsburg, California.
Martel 'Wilson, the new vice-president, is a graduate of Stanford University and the Graduate School of Business Administration of New York University. During the past eleven years, he has been in the investment banking business in New York.

Grade-M:arked Lumber
By Kenneth Smith Secretary-Mdndger, Lumber ond Allied Products lnstitute, Los AngelesAddress Delivered Before the Annual Convention of the California
Retail Lumbermen's Associotion ot
Bocause oI early training in the export business, I did not need to be converted to grade-marking. The export lumber business has been conducted on the basis of identifiable and marked quality for hundreds of years. Axel H. Oxholm with the endorsement of the then Chief of the Department of Commerce, Honorable Herbert Hoover, officially advocated grade-marking of domestic lumber in America in L922. It took three years for the idea to become Beriously advocated over the country. You heard your first talk on the subject at your Fresno Convention in 1925. I talked on this subject at your 1927,1928, L929 and,1930 conventions. The National Lumber Manufactur€rs Association put out "Taking the Mystery out of Lumber Buying" in 1929 and "Know the Lumber You Use" in 1930.
By I9D sentiment for grade-marking had progressed to the point where an agreement was made with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association to license any yards who desired to mark lumber in Southern California, this being the first and the most notable example of constructive cooperation between dealers and manufacturers to end grade gypping and sell lurnber on a basis of proven quality.
The prime consideration in Los Angeles was to end the selling of all Common lumber as Oregon Pine, no grade stated, and institute the selling of No. 1, No. 2, and. No. 3, Douglas Fir in oriler to make it possible for the customer to know how to order the kind of lumber he wanted to buy. However, optional grade-marking, after a trial of five years, proved to be, while helpful, an insufficient remedy.
So last year consideration was given to instituting the sale by the leading dealers of Los Angeles of no Douglas Fir Boards, Dimension or Timbers except officially W. C. L. A. grade-marked. Early this year the campaign was started and an advertising fund provided by the payment of ten cents per thousand into a common fund in order to tell the public how they could be sure of getting the grade of lumber for which they paid.

For.those of you who may be interested in knowing how this job was handled, we have brought along the display which is pinned to the easel before you, and which you can read through at your leisure. This contains samples of the , advertisements, of the publicity, of the booklet "The Right Use of Lumber Grades in Home Construction," provided for
Del Monte, October 93, 1936
our use by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, two booklets issued by the Federal Government which we have used in both publicity and advertising; and the centerpiece is a poster which our dealers catering to purchasers of grade-marked lumber have on display in their offices. Material not shown consists only of the direct letter campaign to architects, engineers, lenders and leading contractors, which we used in the beginning of the campaign.
On the date this campaign started, April 1, 1936, we concluded a bulletin to our members with this paragraph:
"For the first time in the history of Los Angeles, you are jointly recognizing your responsibility for dealing honestly with the unsuspecting and technically uninformed publicfor protecting the public against the rapaciousness of chiseling lumber dealers and chiseling contractors (often in collusion)-and to restoring lumber to its once proud and honestly won place as the world's best and most economical building material. You can hold your head a little higher tomorrow from the knowledge that you are taking part in a program that is going to restore your pride in your callingthat is going to make it unnecessary for you to defend lumber against the bad name it has been given by improper use.and dishonest selling. But-you just start tomorrow. You win by following through."
I am happy to report to you that, while we were selling less than 25 per cent at that time, we are now selling well in excess of 75 per cent grade-marked Douglas Fir Boards, Dimension and Timbers. In a check of one month's business recently, we found that 55 per cent of the lumber being received at the Harbor is W. C. L. A. grade-marked at the mill. The'remainder of that sold grade-marked is so marked by licensed yards in Los Angeles.
The outstanding surprise of the campaign to all of us has been its acceptance by the very jerry builders whom we had expected might resent it and the revelation in so short a time of how it has restored the market for No. 1 and No. 2.
We knew before we started that this intensive advertising campaign, from our experience with five years of voluntary grade-marking, would intensify the gains we had made in that time. For one thing, it makes competition honest because it ends grade gypping and forces value to be taken into consideration in making the price. We had proof of
this in the fact that practically every professional purchasing agent in the City was buying only grade-marked Douglas Fir before we started the campaign.
Secondly, it provides a foundation for sales promotion that justifies making an investment in it. We have countless examples in Los Angeles of preserving markets which were being attacked by substitutes, of regaining markets which had been entirely lost, and of developing entirely new business. I need cite to you gentlemen here only one instance which is known to all of you, and with ..rrhich we are not con,cerned, which is the entirely new market developed by the manufa'cturers of Redwood, by their estab-
tinguishes the lumber he sells from "just lumber." It gives him a SOUND basis for advertising and trade extension. It helps stabilize prices. It reassures the public that GOOD lumber is still attainable. It encourages architects and engineers to specify lumber. It gives the home owner honest value.
One most important fact is that it makes an invaluable contribution to the maintenance of those established distribution practices which are recognized as ethical and sound by all branches of the industry.
developed
Redwood, lishment and sale of an identifiable, proven, marked grade of Strtrctural Redwood Timbers.
It builds goodwill for every firm which identifies itself with the 'campaign; it builds and safeguards cooperative programs between dealers because it certifies quality; it safeguards against losing business to substitutes; it identifies responsibility for errors; and it puts competition definitely on the higher plane of service.
I have stated many times that what we are doing is just as mu,ch a battle on behalf of the manufacturers as for ourselves because our campaign will prevent this large and important market from becoming a low grade durnping ground and a paradise for manufacturers of substitutes. We have, of ,course, en,countered the opposition of ,some manufacturers who want to dump No. 3 and No.4 on this market and who do not have the vision to realize that, when they have destroyed a major market for the No. 2 and better product of the log and bear the value of the upper grades down, they will ultimately get for themselves a much lower net realization for the log. But we feel from our experien'ce, and I predicate all of my arguments for the support of this program by retail lumbermen on the ground it is in their own selfish interest. It stops grade gypping. It puts shippers on their mettle to deliver right quality. It dis-
In their own selfish interest retailers should not only demand that the manufacturers supply them with officially association grade-marked lumber but they should work foi the attainment in all building codes of requirements both as to minimum standards of grades and provisions for guaranteeing quality, which encourage the purchase of grade-marked lumber; in a sense for compulsory "pure food laws" covering lumber grades.
Editorial comment in a recent issue of the Pacific Retail I umberman sums up .in four short sentences the arguments for the support ly-lhg lumber industry oJ the grade-marking program so well, I quote them in closing:
"There are a number of ailments which need immediate attention, but the one most imperative is that the customer must be given some better guarantee than the salesman's word that he is getting the product for which he is paying money.
_ "Dealers still question the advisability of grade-marking. It is not a question whether it is advisable or not-but how long the industry can continue in the picture if it does not have its produ'ct identified as to quality.
."I_n our June issue we stated thaf 'Grade-marking is definitely.on the way in.' Grade-marking is on the wiy in because'self-preservation is the first law of nature' and grademarking is a necessary step toward the preservation;f the industry."

New Sheathing Announced by Celotex "C"ppy" Slade Makes Hole-in-One
Celotex Vaporseal Insulating Sheathing, an unusual new product, has just been placed on the market by The Celotex Corporation. Harold Knapp, general sales manager, in discussing this improved insulating material, said: "In keeping with our program of anticipating trends in modern construction, we are now making available to dealers Vaporseal Insulating Sheathing.
"This type of insulating board is particularly important in new construction because of the imminent possibility of low cost air conditioning. We feel that every new house, to be considered modern, should be built and so insulated that it may include air conditioning at some future time."

SEA PLANES AID F'IRE FIGHTERS
Forest Rangers in the Washington Cascade Range are looking for lakes a mile and a half long on which to land sea planes ,conveying fire fighters to forest blazes in remote parts of the national forests. Trial flights have been made from Seattle and five lakes have been selected out of forty surveyed, and arrangements made for the use of chartered planes when fires occur. According to Forest Service offi,cers the use of lakes as landing fields in remote regions where road construction is lacking will enable the Forest Service to get quick act:on with small crews on forest fires and save damage and fire fighting costs, in addition to the expense of constructing landing fields for land planes.

rc IU,TTBER DEATERS
THE FO'RWARD-THINKING lumber dealer has already stocked, or is planning to stock, treated lumber. It is the most promising item that a dealer can carry.

IN HIS OI7N INTERESTS, as well as those of his industry, the lumber a dealer sells as "treated" should be pressure-processed with an elfective preservative.
"WOLMANIZED L(JMBER", pressure-treated with a preservative that has proved its.value over thirty years of successful use, is.the most satisfactory treated lumber a dealer can offer.
ALL THE ADVANTAGES of uneeated lumber, plus real protection, against decay and termites, make t'!7OLMANIZED LUMBER" the besr answer to the demand for lumber that will stand up.

It is believed that a good many San Francisco lumbermen, both retailers and wholesalers have not yet had a chance to see this fine Redwood picture, hence the reason for making Monday, November 23, "Redwood Day" at the club.
There has been a noticeable increase in the attendance at the weekly luncheon since the day was changed to Monday, according to President C. C, Stibich.

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-The immediate need in Northern California is for homes costing $5000 or less, in the opinion of D. C. McGinness, acting director of the Federal Housing Administratron in this district.
"It has been shown that 6O to 70 per cent of our families live on annual incomes of $2500 or less," Mr. McGinness declared. "Bringing into service the old rule that the amount a man can conveniently afiord to pay for his home should not be more than twice his annual income, we arrive at a figure approximating $5000.
l'It is, therefore, my contention that the greatest market for modern homes is in the low-priced brackets. It is with those persons who aspire to own modest homes of their own that the Federal Housing Administration is striving to cooperate. Let them have their own homes and permit them to acquire such properties by simply paying themselves the rent they now pay for living accommodations."
An instance was cited in which a couple paid $35 a month rent for a five-room house. They owned a lot appraised by the Federal Housing Administration at $675. This entitled them to make application to their bank for a loan of $35@ with which to build a home of their own. They now are paying ofi this mortgage, including taxes and insurance, at the rate.of $32 a month, and within 20 years the home will be theirs, free from all indebtedness.
"The insured mortgage system is the key which can unlock the almost unexplored market of moderately priced homes of genuine quality. For example, assume that the 2O per cent down payment required reprbsents the appraised value of a building lot. Construction, then, may represent the entire balance of 80 per cent of the appraised value. The actual monthly cost to buyers then becomes $7.43 for each $1000 borrowed. There must be added to this, however, one-twelfth of the annual taxes and a similar proportion of the annual fire insurance premium, since these amounts are paid monthly instead of in a lump sum'"
Mr. McGinness reported that the Federal Housing Administration in Northern California already has accepted for appraisal 10,2ffi applications for government insured mortgages aggTegating $43,700,000.

Watsonville Yard Rebuilt and Remodeled
The yard of the Watsonville Lumber Company, Watsonville, Calif., purchased in May of this year by Earle E. Johnson, well known Northern California retail lumberman, has been completely rebuilt and remodeled, and now ranks as an entirely up-to-date lumber and building material store.

The new shed with a frontage ol 76 leet on West Lake Avenue, and a depth of 8O feet, houses the office and display room, and was so constructed that customers' trucks can be loaded from both sides, quickly and efficiently. The shed is built on concrete piers to give proper air circulation.
Douglas Fir panels are used in finishing the walls of the office and display room, and Celotex Insulating Board is used for the ceiling. The private office is finished in knotty Pine.
This yard carries a full line of bullder's hardware, also a full line of W. P. Fuller & Company's paints.
On display also are screen doors, ironing boards, medicine cabinets, panels, etc.
The sash and door room is lighted entirely by artificial light, so that no chance wrll be taken of light-staining doors or panels. This room is 16 feet by 32 feet, and is well stocked with sash, doors, softwood and hardwood panels.
Building material lines stocked include Pioneer-Flintkote roofing, California Wire Cloth Company's stucco net-
ting, Celotex Utrlity Board, 1/r" Insulating Board and Hardboard.
The yard carries a well-balanced stock of Douglas Fir, Ponderosa and Sugar Pine and Redwood lumber, Fir wall board, and specializes in the sale of Redwood shingles. Al[ lumber piles are on concrete piers.
Harry Hope, formerly manag'er of Mr. Johnson's Pleasanton yard, is yard foreman.
Ponderosa
Earle Johnson, proprietor of this concern, was born in Texas and gained his first lumber experlence when he went to work as bookkeeper for the Forest Lumber Company at Kimball, Nebraska. His first job in California was as manager of Sunset Lumber Company's yard at Concord in 1919. Later he managed the Hayward yard, and the.n became associated lvith the Tilden Lumber & Mill Company. He went to Livermore in 1927, purchased the Independent Lumber Company there, and afterwards opened a yard at Pleasanton. He sold both these yards in 1935 and was for some time connected with C. L G;lbert, Eureka Mill & Lumber Company, in Oakland, until he bought the Watsonville yard last May.
While at Livermore Earle was closely identified with the success of the famous Livermore Rodeo from year to year as a prominent member of the Rodeo committee. Duringing this period he was also a faithful member and director of the East Bay Hoo Hoo Club, and is a past president of that organization.

The Howe of Wood
When a lumberman builds a wood house, as the term is generally understood, it can hardly be called news, but when a lumberman builds an all-wood house of quality such as the one recently built and sponsored by the Jones Hardwood Company of San Francisco for Mr. and Mrs. Nelson E. Jones, at D3O Hillside Drive, Burlingame, Calif., is is certainly NEWS.

The story of the attractively designed all-wood house has been well told in a profusely illustrated folder by the Jones Hardwood Company.
The all-wood house, designed by Donnell E. Jaeckle, architect, of San Francisco, should have the effect of suggesting new possibilities to prospective home builders in the greater use of wood for interior decoration and for exteriors.
The construction outline follows in part:
The frame construction is of Douglas Fir with Redwood sills.
Redwood rustic, Monterey shakes .and five-ply waterproof Fir plywood were used on the exterior.
Hardwoods were used for the interior walls throughout, with Birch trim in kitchen and service portion5 of house.
In the living room and dining room Walnut plywood and mouldings are used, with Teak plank floors and Nu-Wood ceilings.
Pearlwood paneling. Philippine Mahogany mouldings and Teakwood floors are used in the breakfast room.
Master bedroom: Birch plank walls, I'x8" T & G "V" Birch trim, silver tone finish, herringbone Oak floor, NuWood ceiling.
Guest bedroom: Philippine Mahogany trim with Magnolia band to meet head casing, block pattern Oak floor, Nu-Wood ceiling.
Son's bedroom: Art-ply ceiling and walls, Philippine Mahogany mouldings and doors.
Stairs: Teak treads, curly Birch risers, Walnut hand rail, and Birch balusters. Finished to harmonize with halls.

HE RETURNED THE INCOME TAX BLANK TO THE GOVERNMENT AND SAID
U. S. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C.
Dear Secretary:
The enclosed form, on which I am asked to make a report of my income for the last fiscal year, is returned to you with my respects and deepest appreciation for this subtle form of fattery. I am particularly impressed by its resurrections of old forms and figures of English speech such as "iompensation from outside sourcesr" "net profit receivedr" "income from rentsr" "interest on bank deposits, etc."
One question I got a great laugh out of was, "Were you during the taxable period supporting in your household one or more persons closely related to you?" Boy, that's a honey.
Say, Mr. Secretary, you would be surprised. There are so many persons closely related to me staying at my house that I am what you would call surrounded. Only the other day three more distant corrsins of my wife's blep in, making a new high for the moment, and one of them brought a friend.
For the last four years my house has been full of strangers, all claiming to be my cousins or aunts or something. I can't identify half of them, and what burned me up was when my wife's Uncle Jerry, who had been living with us a year, slapped.me on the back the other day and asked, "Flaven't I seen you some place before?"
The blank says it will allow me $400 for each dependent relative and I would say the Government is overpricing them, as I would trade the entire lot for $11.00, and throw in a pair of bicycle pants and a magic lantern. (Two of my wife's aunts you can have for the asking.)
Ileigh-ho and lackaday. The blank also asks me to "describe your business as provided in Item 2," and,I am glad to'answer, "Lousy, Mr. Secretary." And it asks me to "Enter on Line I of Schedule A my total receipts for 1933." I wish you would stop joking, Mr. Secretary. Fun is fun,

but enough is enough, and you can carry anything too far.
Then you say something about an allowance for "obsolescence, depreciation and depletion." That's where I come in. As an American business man, I am a study in obsolescence. I am depleted, deflated, depressed, denatured, denounced, deranged and dejected. And so,is my old man. Yours in a barrel,

And found the power to raise his arms toward light.
Another traveler also sought the dawn.
He saw the rocky crest
And, pausing near its base, with sigh and yawn
Composed himself to rest.
He saw the other greet the light and laughed:
"The sun's not yet above the hill ! He's daft !"

New Booklet on Structural Redwood
Structural Redwood, with structural design data, illustrations and other information, is featured in an outstanding graphic publication just released by the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco.
The publication illustrates how millions of feet of structural grades of California Redwood have been used in thousands of important engineering structures where the com-
tion. Pictured in the publication are more than a dozen such structures.
Engineers have also seen the advantages of structural grades of Redwood in water supply and irrigation projects. I\fany cities, including Sah Francisco, depend upon Redwood trestles for carrying their water supplies from varied soufces.
bined qualities of strength, durability, long life, fire retardance and freedom from warping, twisting and checking are not only desirable but fundamentally necessary.
The economy and endurance of Structural Redwood have been proven securely in the construction of bridges on western highways. State highway departments, counties, the U. S. Forest Service and U. S, Bureau of Public Roads all offer specific examples of Structural Redwood Construc-
California and Nevada highways are protected with decay resisting Structural Redwood guard rail posts. Railroad and communication systems are long time users of Redwood, who specify structural grades for many phases of construction.
The California Redwood Association has a supply of this publication available for the use of engineers, builders, public officials and all other interested persons.

World Power Conference Room at \(ashington Used Nu-Wood
On September 7th three thousand dreamers assembled in Washington to discuss one strong, solid word-power. These three thousand were delegates to the Third World Power Conference and were the picked representatives of fifty-two nations. Quoting from the Washington Post of Sunday, Sept. 6th, "their aim is to esta'blish a world basis for everything bearing on power, from conserving basic fuels that are used in the production of power to the relationship of Government, utilities and consumers." Dr. William Durant, prominent California scientist, was chairman of the Third World Power Conference.
Needless to say, a group of this size required a huge room. Even in our nation's capitol there was no ballroom large enough to feed the entire group; so the planners reconstructed the Union Station at Washington for the purpose. The waiting room has a clear width oL lfr feet and is 2L9 feet long with a 96-foot ceiling. Converting this waiting room into a usable banquet hall for the huge crowd required the use of vast quantities of materials. It was probably the largest banquet hall ever provided, and a material of considerable utility was necessary.
Nu-Wood Board made by the Wood Conversion Company of Saint Paul, Minnesota, was selected by the group of planners as being the most suitable product for the purpose.
The accompanying photograph shows how Nu-Wood helped to serve dinner to three thousand of the world'.s foremost.

A. A. Hooil jectives of the Housing Guild system of consumer selling and to provide all material and information required by a Iumber dealer who wishes to take the course of training.
To launch the Housing Guild plan in the fall of 1935, Johns-Manville sponsored special "clini,cs" in New York city and Chicago, where 576 retail building material dealers assembled to hear the plan revealed, with a result that the total enrollment for four special courses of training for building material dealer sales managers and salesmen held in these two cities reached 300.

This year, Mr. Hood explains, the book, "Training for Profits," supplements the clinics and by supplying pertinent information regarding the Housing Guild system in printed form it prepares the way for a considerably enlarged scope of activities this coming season. The nine dealer personnel training courses will be held according to the following schedule:
Atlanta, Nov. 16 to 25 inclusive; New York, Jan. 4 to 16 inclusive; Chicago, Jan. 18 to 30 inclusive; Cleveland, Feb. 1 to 13 inclusive; Kansas City, Feb. 15 to 27 inclusive; Minneapolis, Mar. 8 to 20 in,clusive; New Orleans, Mar. 29 to April10 inclusive.
From April 26 to May 8 there will be a Training Course at a city yet to be selected on the south Pacific Coast and from May 17 to 29 there will be another course offered at a north Pacific Coast city which will be named later.
BIRDS AND CIGARETTE BUTTS
Now forest rangers are 'rvondering if cigarette smoking birds are to be added to the list of fire hazards. They are worried over the discovery of four cigarette stubs found in the remains of a bird's nest in the eaves of a burned building at Dorris, California. Rangers hope that it is only a queer bird who has the snipe shooting habit as they have plenty of troubles preventing careless travelers who toss away their burning buts from causing forest fires.
