Moistite is a profitable line for the lumber merchant as it has so many uses in buildittg. Almost every type of construction can use Moistiteanything-from a chicken "oop ot a farm to a high class factory in the city-anything from a small bungalow to a modern apartment house.

There is a big market waiting for a waterproof sheathing with the qualities of Moistite. Architects, -contractors and-builders have long wanted a light colored, thoroughly waterproof sheathing paper and now they have it in Moistite.

Moistite is different from anything else on the market and its process of manufacture is protected by a United States paient. Processed bitumen is introduced in the making of the p.j.t and is not applied after the paper is made. The bitumen so thoroughly saturates ind binds togethJr the inner fibres that it becomes a part of the Pap€r itself.

M"tty Dealer Helps Provided

When the lumber merchant puts Moistite in stock, he is liberally supplied with attractive advertising material and many dealer helps to promote sales. Among these helps is an attractive direct mail advertising campaign.

The Zellerbach Paper Company is now appointing dealers. Write to the nearest division of that company for samples of Moistite, descriptive literature, the direct mail campaign, the dealer helps and the merchandising plan. Here is your opportunity to cash in on this new and highly efficient product. The lumber dealer who handles Moistite has an exclusive selling talk about the merchandise that enables him to meet the competition of other building and sheathing papers.

How Lumber Looks

A quiet Decembe, and to be expected.

The fir* two wee&s of tfie Chriatmar month generally ree a dowing up of lumber orderu, both wholerale and ietail end thir year witnercer no change, and it can rafely be predicted trhat the last hio weeks of the month will be a repetition of forrner years.

tt" November totab at the various portr in the rtater show a banner month- in rhipments, and a large amorurt of there ctock! have already rolled into the yardr, and the condition of the dockr; at the end of the year, will be better than in timer paet when inventor5r time forurd the wholeeale rnan with a large amount of rmrold on his hands. San Pedro unloaded a little over 140 million feet, in November.

The fact is that the retailerr have held up with tteir orders in better rhape for th9 end of the year rearon than ever before, showing a healthy condition in their yardr, end predicting a good January and Febrtary.

Rrmrors are rampant that Fir cargo, end rail rtockr, will take a jump in price, coon after the furt. Argumentr iound reasonable that the curtomary rhut-down of the millr drring the holidayr, the generd curtailmeqrt program in eftect at a large number of tfie larger millr, the trenrcndour arnount of lumber that h going eart, and other factorr, dl point to higher price lirtr. This, considered with the fact that rome of the millr are looki"g at California with lerr favor, month after month, would reem to point to that end. California har produced a lot of volrune thir year for the Fir manufecturerr, but, in mort carer, har not ehown them much profit. Profitr that they can rneke by rhipping their goodr into other marketr.

Building permitr for December are holding up ar well as could be expected.

The northenr part of t{re rtate reportr a general good f*ti"S arnong the dealerr, and the tendency in the eouth Eeema to be that 1926 will rhow up bater than did thir year.

Monkeys And Men

Bg Jack Dionne

I saw a Movie the other day that I got a wonderful "kick" out of.

In my talks on associational activities, and business co-operation, I have long used the comparison that "the chief difference between monkeys and men is that men can and do profit by the experiences of others, while monkeys cannot."

And there, in those pictures of Borneo monkeys, I found visual proof of that axiom. The natives made harmless and painless traps of cocoanuts. They cut the tops ofi, hollowed them, and down in the cavity placed a nut of which monkeys are inordinately fond. Then they put a slip knot with a trigger on it over the hole in the top of the nut, tied the other end of the string, and went back to the camera.

The monkeys' curiosity and love for the nut they smelled soon overcame their timidity, and shortly one of them thrust his paw into the top in a cocoanut. Instantly the trigger sprang, and he was tied tight by the wrist. His cries and antics were most enthusiastic.

Then what did the other monkeys do? They fairly crowded in to get their fists into the tops of other traps that had been set near the first one, fairly dying with curiosity to find out what in the world had made that first monkey cry so, the others would shove both paws into the cocoanut to find out. And they DID.

Now, if monkeys had the associational sense, that couldn't have happened.

Each business man works out his business problems, has his own experiences, bitter and sweet, and they are filed in his memory, and on his accounts.

Each other man does the same thing. To each of them come experiences, ideas, thoughts and things, that come to no other man. Separately, that fact helps only himself.

But COLLECTMLY it helps them ALL. Because they join themselves together co-operatively. My experience becomes that of all the rest. The experience of each of the others becomes MINE.

Living only one life and handling only my own business, f am nevertheless enabled to incorporate into my affairs the experiences, the failures, the successes, the ideas, the plans and the thoughts of many other men. I would have to live a hundred years to get all the experience that I get in ONE YEAR by belonging to an active organization of one hundred men.

THAT is the Association IDEA. It is the co-operative idea. In short, it is simply the difference between savagery and civilization.

It is the difference between monkeys and men.

THE WISE WILL BUY DEALER NOW!

There will be the heaviest curtailment of mill production in the Northwest during December that has ever been known. N; doubt about it. Stocks will be much lower January first than they are now. The rra,tional lumber situation is very much stronger than it has been all year. Our opinion is that the Fir market will be much stronger in 1926 than in 1925; a purchase at present prices is a good bry.

Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Plans forChristmas Party To OrPhans

B. W. Byrne, of the \Mestern Hardwood Lumber Comoanv. Los -Anseles, as chairman of the Christmas Party 'Cotimitt.. of ihe Los Angeles Hoo Hoo CIub, assisted-by Harry Hanson, Roy Stanton, Herrnan Rosenberg, Gus Hoover and Paul Hillingby, have completed arrangements for the monster affair, to Ui: neta at the Elite Cafe, at noon, December 23rd.

They will entertain three h,undred and fifty.orphans from ."netai institutions in Los Angeles, poor kiddies who otherwise would have no Christmas cheer.

The party is being financed thlgugh the sale of tickets to the lumbeimen of Southern California, each ticket costing $1.00 and providing for a splendid luncheon and entertainment for oae child.

The boys will go to various homes at eleven o'clock on the morning of the 23rd, pick up their 'family' and take the children tolhe Elite. Each man rvill act as a daddy to his flock of poor love-hungry mites, and will see to it that they have the time of their lives.

The advance sale of tickets, according to Mr' Byrne, assures the committee that they will be able to take care of the above stated number, and he suggests that more money will be welcome, to take care of the entertainment features.

All lumbermen are invited and urged to attend the meetirg.

CHANGE IN LOS ANGELES YARD

J. K. Sine has sold his interest in the Dolan-Sine Lumber Company, 83rd St. and Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, to Mr. J. C. Dolan.

Barge Lumber will be ShiPPed to Florida City

Lumber, sawed, fit and ready for assembling into seven barges, is being loaded on schooners Alvena and Irene at Gray's Harbor for shipment to Miami.

These barges will constitute the nucleus of equipment for a branch of the Crowley Launch and Towboat Company in the Florida boom port, according to Thomas Crowley, president of the company.

The shipment of the barges on the schooners will be followed by the dispatch from California of six other larger barges in tow of two Red Stack tugs for Miami. These barges will be used for lightering purposes. The need for them, it is explained, is pressing owing to the fact that the channel from the sea to the city is shallow and that vessels drarving more than 16 feet of water cannot at present navigate the channel.

Dispatching of California tugs and lighters to Florida is causing much discussion in coast shipping circles. It is pointed out that calls have been made on Nelv York, Boston and other Atlantic ports for tugs for lightering equipment to relieve the congestion, especially of lumber awaiting discharge from ships at Miami, but either for the reason that there is a shortage of this equipment on the_east coast or that the tuboat and lightering companies fear that Miami's phenomenal expansion is only a bubble soon to burst, the companies have not entered the field.

SAN PEDRO SETS RECORD

November 24th saw another record broken at the port of San Pedro, when thirty lumber vessels were repoited unloading at the various docks. This is the largest number of lumber carriers at dock at this port, in one day, in the history of the city.

INCREASE IN RE-INSPECTION CHARGES

Effective January l, 1926, re-inspections of lumber from mills not members of the California White and Sugar Pine Association will be charged for at the rate of $25 per day plus expenses. This increased charge was made necessary by the fact that some of the smaller mills have been taking advantage of Association Re-inspection Service by calling for re-inspection on stock that has been poorly graded, or not graded at all at the mill. The call for re-inspectiorr by non-member mills has reached such large proportions that it has become a severe drain oq Association Inspection resources, besides being handled ordinarily at a loss.

If such mills would join the Association, thereby securing the benefit of its regrilar mill inspections, or would employ competent graders, this charge would not be necessary.

The California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers' Association is interested only in seeing that the lumber products from its. territory, regardless of origin, are held to highest standards of grade and manufacture, as any shipment below standard refects on the good name of the region.

C. STOWELL SMITH, Secretary-Manager.

STATE CONTEST WINNER

Miss Rhoma Brokaw, a Campfire Girl of Eureka, Hurnboldt County, was singularly honored as the leading contestant and winner of the State Prize of fifty dollars, awarded by the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers' Association in connection with the state-wide Stop Forest Fires Campaign.

Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club Meet at Marysville

The November meeting of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club was held at the Elks Club, Marysville on Saturday, November 28, where they rvere the guests of the lumber dealers of Marysville.

President Lawrence Chapman presided over the meeting. H. G. Cave, president of the Shasta Lumber Co., in a few well chosen words welcomed the visiting lumbermen to Marysville, and C. D. LeMaster responded for the Club.

G. E. Cornwall, Portland, gave an interesting talk on "Trade Conditions Surrounding the Lumber Industry," touching on conditiohs in China, Japan, New Zealand, and Florida. He also discussed conditions in the Northwest.

J. E. Fraser, Secretary of the California Retail Lumbermin's Association, talked on "Grade Marking." Mrs' Fraser stated that she would like to get the opinion of the Club on Grade Marking so that she could report back to the Directors of the Association at their meeting in January. She said it was one of the progressive movements in the lumber industry at the present time, and in the.eastern states where they have had more experience with this matter, many of the State Associations had already endorsed the movement. She also read a resolution on Grade Marking that has been drawn up by State Association and which will be taken under consideration by the various Clubs of the state. Follorving Mrs. Fraser's talk, there was a general discussion on the subject in which all the lumbermen present expressed their views on Grade Markittg. C. D. LeMaster stated that he did not think that the members were ready to vote on the question at this time and would probably not be ready to take action until the January meeting. I\{r. LeMaster was requested_ to take the matter up with the other clubs in Northern California

for a joint meeting at rvhich time there would be a general discussion of Grade Marking.

A. R. Graham, Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, Spokane, spoke on the annual convention meeting that will be held in Portland during the month of February and urged that a large number of California lumbermen attend this meeting. He stated that there will be several attendance prizes awarded at the Convention and at the last session ihere would be a drawing for a carload of lumber. There will also be special prizes for the ladies in attendance at the convention.

During the luncheon, Eugene Gray of the Shasta Lumber Co., who possesses a delightful voice sang several solos which were greatly enjoyed. He was accompanied on the piano by Miss Madge Maynard.

-

The ilub voted the continuation of their new publication, the "Axiom", and C. D. LeMaster asked the assistance of all the members and requested that they send in their ideas for publication.

Al the conclusion of the meeting, Walter Baker and George W. Gorman, held a drawing contest in which several of the lucky members won large boxes of candy packed in attractive redwood boxes.

The next meeting which will be "Ladies Day" will be held on December 19 at Sacramento and the committee appointed to make the arrangements for the meeting are Walter Baker, Joe Shepard, and E. E. Bryan.

A WOODEN FOI'NDATION

The prosperity of California and other pacific Coast states is fo_unded, in large part, on their great timber in- dustries. Our "success structure" here tiuly rests on a wooden foundation-products of our magnificent forests. No substitutes can fully take its place. Weaken the foun_ dation, and the whole ltructure be.omes insecure.

In a- yery real sense, too, the forests are an important part of the foundation of our national greatness. Our hittr_ erto unlimited supplies of forest produ-cts have contributed largely to our wealth and civilization. Building, manufac_ turing, mining, transportation, shipping and agiiculture all must have a plentiful supply of wooa. -The w6od chemical rnctustrres are of growing importance. Wood furnishes 90 percent of our.paper, the raw material of advertising, pub_ lrshrng, .;ournalism; and so on down the list, indefiriitely. We may -be said to be still living in an Age of Wooa. i" peace or in war America must have a contirruous and plen- tifglsupply of forest products.

"Producers of White Pine for Over HaIf a Century"

Production Control

Yesterday I lvent to tl.re ruarket. Eggs and cofiee were on rrly list. I asked the price of eggs. "Sixty cents," the woman statecl. Last month eggs were 42 cents. ,,What's the idea?" I questioned. "Oh, eggs are scarce just now; hens are not laying." -

_.There was supply curtailment hitting me in the pocket. The price of eggs, follolving a well-kn-orvn economic larv, had gone up. The supply wis smaller than the demand. I paid 60 cents for the same kind of eggs I had bought two months ago for 42 cents. As the ultimate consumEr there was.noth_ing-I could do abolrt it, if I rvanted those eggs.

Then I called on the cofiee man. Did I ask hiir" how much ? No. I knew the price of the coffee we used. I knew that it had been set several months ago, for me, by the government of Brazil. By regulating ixports of 'thl bean, Brazil, rvhich produces the- major* pofiion of the world's coffee, sets the price of my morni.tg-drink. This is a case rvhere an economic larv is not allowed to function. Brazil by regulation, cnrtailment, supervision, or whatever one may,want to call it, makes coftee growing profitable to her people. Brazil tells me rvhat I stritt payl 'I pay it, or go without.

There are ttvo simple.instances out of American daily life. fn one the time of the year sets the price of eggs. I; the other governmental control sets the price oi"cofiee. Tb"y "T- entirely different, yet they amount to the same thing. They both make the produci profitable to the pro_ ducer.

Tl're northr,vest lumber inclustry is again at the cross_ roads. It is and has been for months. pioducing too much lumber. It has been selling an extrairdirr"ry-"^o.,rri of Iumber for too little money.

Nerv business has been slackening ofi for more than 30 days, but production has lteen carried right along. production, for the mills reporting to the Wesl Coast Lumbermen's-Association, for the last available week, was l6 per cent above new business. For every 100 feet of lumber produced in these mills there is a 16-foot over-production. And it is the over-production, or the under-prbduction, which sets the price, unless like Brazil, rvith hei coffee, we substitute some sort of control. Too many eggs nreatl cheap eggs to the consumer. Too many eggs for too long a perioa ida the egg farmers go broke. Too mnch lumbei miarrs cheap lumber to the consumer. Too much cheap lumber for tol long a period means that lumber producerj will go broke. . Lumber producers, in our terriiory are going Eroke. We have told of several recently. Trvo more &ash*ea last week. Ygt production, and much of it at less than the selling price of lumber at the mill, goes .right straight along. Cer-tainlv, so.me sort of. a governor should contiol. M*y of us be_ lieve that this should be self control, practiced by the in_ dustry itself.

This publication is chiefly interested in.two things:

l. Continuous employment, under good conditions, with fair wages for employes.

2. A fair return to investors.

We have other interests but these trvo are fundamental.

plol'es in our industrl- to STOP N{,A"KING SO MUCH LUNIBER. And stop it right norv !

In the interests of its rvorking people, the communities it supports and of its stockholders, the fir industry should stop making too much lumber. It seems, from the fir industry's experience last spring that a shortening of the rvork-1veek, if put into effect liy individtral plants, .rvould aid materially in stopping over-production. Why not, in the interests of rvorkers, communities and investors, adopt -where the indir.idual n.ranagements and men can so agree -a 40-l.rour rveek? And if this is done, rvhy not continue to take all dav Saturclay off until production and dernand come r,vithin speaking distance of each other?

_ This is everybody's ltusiness. Lumber prices, all along the line, are too lolv. Stumpage is being sacrificed; rvages are not rvhat the industry should pav; dividends, in most operations, are not being paid. Common labor is certainly not making a fair lir-ing. The hen quits laying and rve pay more for eggs, or go u'ithout. Brazil controls coffee. The lumber industry-especially in the fir region-needs to quit laying and to begin practicing self-control.-4L Bulletin.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

A Timely Winter Story

You all remember the little story that went the rounds so fast about three years ago, and made the nation laugh, about the teacher who asked Johnpy, "How much is nine times six times two," and Johnny instantly answered, "One hundred and eight," and when the teacher said, "That's excellent," Johnny replied, "Excellent, Hell, that's PERFECT.'

WeIl, here is another of about that same speed and class -a good early winter story.

Johnny was in the arithmetic class again, probably the same class in which he gave that perfect answer, and when his time came to do his stuff, the teacher said to him, 'Johnny, if coal is twenty dollars a ton, how many tons can you get for a hundred dollars?"

"Four tons," very promptly answered Johnny.

"I know it isn't right, teacher," replied thc youthful prodigy, 'BUT ALL THE COAL DEALERS ARE DOING IT.''

Don't be a Conundrum

Becaure the retail lumber buriness hasntt reached a point where educated habit ma,kes the people see WHAT tT IS and WHAT lT DOES with the same glance.

Many commodties have been so advertised for so long that the public has been trained to think of the raw materials in terms of HUMAN SERVICE.

THAT is what the lumber industry is striving for, but hasn't arrived at yet.

There are too many lumber dealers remaining who hide the many good things they have for tfie public, behind blank walls.

HIPOLITO COMPANY Manutacturers

Hipolito construction isffquality work all through

Soyears of manufacfi^tring screens arebackof ourproduct

Through these three decades we have constantly improved both product and method of manufacture. Every operation is absolutely standardized. This results in precision in every detail-close, accurate fitting. Lumber and raw materials enter our plant and move forward continuously withoutunnecessary handling. All of this serves to make better screens in the speediest, most economical manner possible.

Only Selected Calttomta Sugar Pine Ased

We long since standardized on California Sugar Pine, selected for its non-shrinking, nonwarping qualities-its ability to withstand extreme exposure to heat, wet and cold, as well as the excellent manner in

which it takes and holds paint andvarnish finishes.

Wbe Cloth WilI Not Pull Out!

On all Hipoltto Screen Doors the wire cloth is applied by machinery. This machine puts the wire on'underlven tension beneath the flush moulding. This has been our standard method for years. We have yet to receive our first complaint of the wire pulling out.

No better method of applying the screen wire cloth hasyetbeen invented. Being rolledinto the groove it is held under even tension in all directions.

When thatmaximumof quality canbe accompanied by " most attractive price, success is certain.

The standardized factory methods of the Hipolito Coo,r' pany have resulted in prices on Hipolito ScreenDoors of Califotnia Sugar Pine th'at enable ydu to sell them at a profit and still meet the competition of less well made doors.

Calitornia Sugar Pine Makes the best Screqt Doors

No better materials are available than those used in Hipolito Screen Doors. Particularly is this true of the lumber. California Sugar Pine is used exclusively. All authorities agree that this is indeed the finest lumber for this purpos6. It is practically nlon-warping-does not shrink or check. It furnishes an ideal surface for paint or varnish work.

Study This Cornq Consttttctlon

Exhaustive tests and much study resulted in our adopting this corner. The consant slamming and banging a screen door must endure would soon loosen uD and sooil a less firmlv constructed up and spoil firmly corner. Note particulirly the relative sr;e of the hardwood dowels. These are set in waterproof glue-the parts fitted with machined accuracy and precision.

NO PORK IN PIG IRON

From the bulletin of the Chemical National Bank of New York City we boldly lift this gem: Mr. Rogers, a well-known lawyer of Chicago, filed an argument when he made application to register a trade-mark for "Limestone Brand," a cathartic medicine, which was denied by the Examiner in Trade-marks on the ground that it contained limestone-as though anybody would want to take limestone as a cathartic. When he wrote back and said it contained none, then they said it was deceptive. So he pre- pared a remarkable brief on the subject rvhich included the following statements:

_ "Ivo_ry is a good trade-mark for soap not of ivory. Gold Dust Washing Powder is not made of gold. Old Crorv Whiskey is not distilled from crou's. There is no bull in Eull Durham. Royal Baking Powder is not used exclusively by royalty, nor is Cream Baking Powder made of cream. Pearline contains no pearls. and White Rock is water.

"There is no grape in grape-fruit, or bread in breacl- fruit. A pineapple is neither pine nor apple; a prickly pear is_not a pear; an alligator piar is neiiher a pear nor an alligato_r, and a gggar plum is not .a plum. Apple-butter is not butter. All the butter is taken out of buttermilk and there is none in butternuts, or in buttercups, and the flies in the dairy are not butterflies."

W.. wond.er why the advocates of "misbranding,, cure-all legislation in the several states have never said a worcl gbouj the public deception involved in the common usage by the steel industry of the term "pig iron" when the"re is no pork in that l;asic commoditvi -

The Philosophy of Mr. Pip

In them days that is passed an not menny peo' ple lived in our town and every body knowed that I was here in the lumber business, some of them kind of folks that peddled their bill from yard to yard could sell themselves Lumber at a mighty cheap price an till yet some of the very RtrLIABLE citizens that LIES AN THEN RE-LIES to get out of it still puts it over some of the other

dealers here and gits powerful cheap lumber, at times, after I has figgered their bill for the FINAI" and LAST time.

Beins I aint one of them kind of fellers that "keeps up with the Jones's" an as I still operates by principles an not by precedents an aint takin no stock in them new fangled business ideas, the town has got bigger an I ain't so well known, but them that do find me and let me figger their bills linows that I is here, fer after I git through figgerin their bill an one of the other dealers sells it an does all he prornires to git the bill you can take it from me that I ain't the one that got skinned on the deal fer I has THE CHEAPEST LUMBER AT THE CHEAPEST PRICE.

LAYING PLANS FOR REFORESTATION

It is possible for reforestation to equal cutting in the timber lands of the Pacific Northwest and therefore allay the national apprehension of replacjng the fast disappearing forests, according to Dr. Hugo Winkerwerder, dean of the school of forestry of the University of Washington.

This rapid reforestation only can be possible through adequate fire protection and a careful study of the prevailing conditions in that part of the country. It already is known that from 32,000 to 44,000 and even more, feet an acre can be grorvn in from sixty to eighty years, which means trees twenty-four inches in diameter and 116 feet tall rvill be available for future lumber and thus ansrver the reforestation question.

The Long-Bell Lumber Company already is following, a reforestation program which definitely provides for five years' rvork at a rate equal to the process of logging operations. The rvork is being done on the Long-Bell Lumber Company's or,r'n initiative and expense, but later it may be possible to synclrronize the lumber company's plans with those of the state and national government.

In connection with the reforestation plan, a large nursery area has been set aside near Ryderwood, Wash., the center of the Long-Bell Lumber Company's logging operations, by the lumber company. A sufficient number of young trees to stock from 3000 to 4000 acres annually will be produced in the nursery.

Direct seeding experiments rvill be conducted and the planting of redl'ood, big-tree, rvhite pine and Port Orford cedar will be tried on a commercial scale to supplement the native Douglas Fir, hemlock and red cedar. Fire lanes of alder and other broadleaf trees are being planted along the abandoned logging spurs as a feature of the program.

Herewith are the results of my recent tests uDon sound-insulatinc ma- terials. These tests were conducted to determine. in absolute uniti. the sou-nd-insulatiog values of various materials which are used in present day building construction.

'lhe materials to be tested were in the form of a panel. two feet bv two feet, which comprised one side of an otherwise sound-proof box.' The source of sound, on the inside of the box, was a Dure tone. the frequency of which was 256 double vibrations per secon{. (This is apfroximateiy thi frequency which corresponds to the frequency of the conversation voice; l_hat is, it_is the most prominen_t frequency in ordinary conversation.) A Webs_ter Phonometer- pla-ced outside the box measured the amplitude oi the sound wave transmitted through the test panel.

The results of the tests upon the materials alone forming the test oanel are given in the table below. The first column gives the name of the material tested. The second column gives the amplitude reduction, that is. the number of times the amplitude of the sound wave is reduced bv beins transmitted through the panel. The third column gives the enercy reducl tion of the sound wave by passing through the plnel. The lasl- colrrmn expresses the reduction of the sound in terms of sensation units. These are the most significant units for expressing the insulating value of sounddeadening materials, as they are expressed in terms of how we hear.

From the above data. it. is €-videnl that Bishopric Insulating Base has greater sound instrlating value than the other mat6rials tested.

LUIT,IBER DTSTRIBUTTON AND CONSUMPTTON FIGURES GIVEN IN GOVERNMENT BOOKLET

For the first time in the history of the lumber industry the Federal Government has compiled statistics showing the distribution and consumption, as well as the production, of lumber. These figures were worked out by the Forest Service, United Statei Department of Agriculture, and are published in "The Principal Lumber Industries," a booklet just issued by the Bureau of the Census. '

The distri6ution and consumption of lumber in L923 are shown by States and regions. For example, Californio, which pr6duced more than two billion board feet, consumed over fo-ur billion feet, the States of Oregon and Washington having shipped liberally to California. In fact, according to thJbookftt, 26 States and the District of Columbia consumed more lumber in 1923 than they produced, leaving only 22 States which showed a greater production than consumption.

Washington led in supplying lumber to other States. Other leading States in this respect included Louisiana, Oregon, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas. Those States whidh i,n 1923 consumed more than one billion board feet of lumber included California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Washington, Texas and Indiana, of which only Washington and Texas produced as much lumber as thev consumed.

LUMBER LANDS

As the population increases the demand for lumber grows, yet the forests aie becoming fewer and smaller every year. The only great forests left in this country are found in Washington, Oregon, California, Mississippi and Louisiaha. In Germany no one can cut down a tree without planting another in its place, but in this country lumbermen can cut and slash willy nilly. A Washingon woodsman claims that his cutting record exceeds the shooting record of Buffalo Bill. To see a buffalo one must go to a game reservation. Will it be that way with forest trees ?

WE PRESENT FRANCE WITH A TYPICAL AMERICAN COLONIAL DWELLING

The people of France are soon to have an opportunity to see a typical American frame dwelling house, of American architecture-the colonial of the eighteenth century-fur- nished in the best American taste and equipped wiih American plumbing, lighting, electrical applianies and. all the mechanical modernities that make housekeeping' in the United States utterly unlike what it is in Eurbpe--almost magical.

The American Committee of the Exhibition of Household Appliances and Labor-Saving Devices which is to be held at the Grand Palais in Paris during 1926, after accepting the invitation of the French Department of Public Instruction to offer an American exhibit. decided that the best.way to do it would be to erect a "100 per cent" American house and make it characteristically American in furniture, decoration and equipment. The idea met with prompt and c.ordial response among'those who were called upon 1o contribute substantially to its realization.

Earthquake Building Lessons From The Santa Barbafa

Writing in the October number of the "American Arcl"ritect," Winsor Soule, architect, of Santa Barbara, discusses the lessons of the Santa Barbara earthquake. On the subject of frame buildings this article by a neutral authorifr entirely confirms the report made by a special investigaior of the National Lumber Manufacturers Associati6n, soon after the earthquake occurred. Of frame build' ings propqr, Mr. Soule writes:

t'Fiarne buildings of every variety from residences to warehouses and apartments suffered little or no damage from the quake. Where frame buildings were on insufficient foundations, or where the plates and sills had rotted from extreme age, some shifting of the house occurred, in place3 as much as 6 inches being observed, but where the foundations were adequate, even though the house rvas old, little damage occurred. In many of the older residences, practically all of the plaster was shaken from the r,r'allJ, although the frames were undamaged; this rvas probably due to the decay and ageing of poor lime_ plasler, as 'little or no damage was cattsed in the buildings having the modern quick setting patent plasters. The main damage to residences and other frame buildings was due io falling chimneys and these, particularly where they were free standing on the exterior walls, were throWn down, almost without exception. There were few of the so-called "patent or earthquakeproof" chimneys, but these all came through the temblor intact and a special amendment has now been added to the building ordinance of the city permitting this constrttction."

Mr. Soule also calls attention to a kind of cheap construction practiced in Santa Barbara and other parts of California-called "board and bat." rvhich, on accotlnt of its flimsy hature, "suffered a good deal of wracking and twisting, but did rrot collapse." This sort of construction consists of l-inch by l2-inch boards, nailed at the bottom on the outside of a platform frame, and on the top to a 2x4 frame supporting roof, with no studs of any kind, the cracks between the boards being covered on the inside and out with tl by 3-inch battens.

As more than 90 per cent of all California dwellings are of complete or stucco frame construction, or of ordinary construction (that is, the skeleton of the building being of lumber joists and studs and the walls of masonry) it is evident from Mr. Soule's report that the people of that state have hit upon the sort of residence construction peculiarly fitted to resist earthquakes.

Steel Frame Best for High Buildings

Mr. Soule conclrrdes that steel frame construction is best fitted for tall buildings in earthquake zones. He finds that mixed construc-tion, that is of "concrete and brick, brick and tile, brick ancl stone," where both materials are used structurally is not well adapted to earthquake shock. The failure of so many brick buildings in the Santa Barbara disaster, is attributed largely to poor mortars and careless workmanstrip. Most of the buildings in the business district of Santa Barbara were built of brick, and this accounts for the impression that brick construction fared much worse than some other materials.

THE FABLE OF THE BOSS AND THE TEAMSTER

Once upon a time there was a teamster who was alive from his collar up; also a boss who ran the business on the iame time table his daddy used.

Now, the teamster, being besieged with constant P. D. Q. calls for bread, butter, and clothes and the "makin'sr" worked both ways from his necktie.

He had a foolish idea that the boss would fatten the pay envelope in return for a bright, new customer.

So when he drove the lath to Jones, he looked for trouble and found it in chunks.

Smith, 4ext door, needed a new fence to keep the lowing kine in the town herd from eating the posies in the front yard, and the teamster passed on the glad tidings to the boss.

And wheq he suggested that the boss go sell Smith that fence, and the boss replied that "daddy never did it," the teafilster went out and kicked the mule.

But the teamster still had a spare tank of think-gas and his machine was sparking on all cylinders.

And he opened his eyes to what they saw and laid utr, a store of things SOME boss might do.

So when the boss at the other yard wanted extra help, he offered himself and HIS IDEAS.

And the other boss gave him the glad hand.

But the old boss still ran the yard like daddy did. And he was still the "lq,oss" and his new teamster was only a teamster.

And the, cashier at the bank thoughtfully fingered the bankruptcy blanks.

EMPLOYERS AND HAPPINESS

Many employers, while they are not opposed to their employes' happiness, regard it as a matter that has nothing to do with business. They never notice the dull faces of their work people, and the quieter those people are, the better they like it. In hundreds of shops and factories a hearty laugh would bring the foreman to see what mischief was afoot. The ideal in most factories is SILENCE, as though it were the reading room at the Library.

The truth is that laughter is a CREATM FORCE, just as anger is a destructive one. Fun, just fun, is a new force in industry that few people have as yet appreciated. They prefer discipline to enthusiasm, and they never know what they miss. But in the long run, everything that ignores human nature will come to an end.

We shall now begin to humanize our shops and factories. We shall shift our industry from a coal and iron basis, to a human nature basis. We shall think more of people, and less of things.-(From the Rotary Club of Invercargill, New Zealand.)

FOREST SERVICE TO SELL I94 MILLION FEET OF TIMBER

The California district of the United States Forest Sen,ice has just received chief forester W. B. Greeley's approval to placing 194 million board feet of government timber in Modoc county on the market. This timber is in the Fan{

L. VY.

dango unit of the Warner mountains, Modoc National Forest, 30 miles north of Alturas. It comprises 74 per cbnt yellow pine (known to the trade as Califbrnia whiie pine), 25 per cent white fir and the balance incense cedar. The forest service values this stumpage at not less than $3.50 per thousand feet for pine and 50 cents per thousand for fir and cedar. In order to promote industrial development in the territory where this timber occurs, the government will require that the purchaser manufacture this timber at a mill in Modoc county. Ample provision will be made in the contract for the protection of the seed trees and young timber when the mature timber'is logged and the purchaser will be required to adopt the best known methods to prevent fire in the woods. In addition to establishing a substantial payroll in the Alturas territory, this new lumbering operation rvill provide at least 12 thousand tons of freight per year.

The train Sid got out of Chehalis is that one that stops every few miles along the lvay for water, or something, and seems to be in no hurry whatever. At about the twentieth halt Sid could stand it no longer.

Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturers Adopt New IJ. S. Standard at Annual Congress

Decision to adopt the new United States shingle standards recommended by Secretary Herbert Hoover of the Department of Commerce; the approval of the budget calling for a much greater expenditure ln L926 than heretofore, for carrying out the work of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and the unanimous vote of the delegates to discontinue the Shingle Branch of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, were the big features of the ninth annual Red Cedar Shingle Congress held at Seattle, Wednesday and Thursday, December 2 and 3.

Red Cedar Shingle manufacturers, realizing that they must not be left behind in the march of industry torvards simplification and uniformity of products, took a great forward step in adopting the new U. S. standards. These provide for four grades only, to be knorvn as A, B, C and D, each grade including three lengths, 24, 18 and 16 inches, the A grade containing only vertical grain shingles. They are intended to replace the multiplicity of grades which have been long'regarded as confusing to the trade and therefore detrimental to the industry.

The budget introduced by R. S. Whiting, secretary-manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureatt, calls for the sum of $120,000 to carry out the necessary rvork of the Bureau, and provides for the addition of tr,r'o nerv field men to the staff.

In deciding to separate from the 'West Coast Lumbermen's Association the congress voted to instruct the Advisory Board, created by the addition of 14 new members to the trustees, to make all arrangements for the nerv organization which will carry on the work. In discussion the majority seemed to favor confining all efforts to the Bureatt,

and the continuance of the rnarket report and the services of F. J. Monte, mill efficiency expert of the Shingle Branch.

It is conceded that the congress was the most successful and largest in point of attendance ever held. The attendance and interest of delegates at each of the sessions and the earnest participation in the discussions showed that the manufacturers are taking the business .of making better shingles very seriously, and that they will back up the efforts of the Bureau to the fullest extent.

The congress passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Whiting and his staff for the splendid work of the Bureau in the last yeat.

The Wednesday morning session was devoted to the annual Filers' conference, which brought out a record attendance. R. W. Neighbor, E. C. Atkins Co., presided. I\{trch enjoyed by the filers was some sweet music'rendered by an entertainer using bows of wood on various sizes of Atkins' Silver Steel Saws.

A. J. Morley, Saginaw Timber Co., rvas chairman of the Wednesday afternoon session. Short reports of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau activities were presented by R. S. Whiting, manager; Arthur Bevan, treasurer; E. W. Bundy, counsel, and F. J. Parker, inspector. The regular annual reports of the field staff were issued in printed form to the delegates, thus allowing more time for discussion.

In the general discussion follorving the introduction of the budget a number of manufacturers were in favor of making the contribution per thousar.rd shingles high enough to permit of some advertising being clone to back up the

(Continued from Page 50.)

work of the Bureau, but the number was not great enough to justify putting the matter to a vote.

Sam P. Johns, Snoqualmie Timber Co., was chairman of the Thursday morning session, when delegates decided to adopt the new IJ. S. Standards. A motion to adopt the square pack for all shingles was lost. Arthur E. Lane, A. E. Lane Lumber Corporation, New York, urged the congress to adopt the new standards, and to vote money for the promotion and sale of shingles. He said that the sale of 6/2 shingles had done more in the past than anything else to decrease the sale of Red Cedar Shingles and increase the sale of substitute roofing.

Delegates who attended the noon luncheon of the Seattle Hoo-Hoo Club were entertained by a special program. President Sam P. Johns in the course of his remarks said he could see a silver lining in the clouds.which had for so long enveloped the Red Cedar Shingle industry.

Paul R. Smith was in the chair at the Thursday afternoon session. No election of officers was held, as it was decided that the present officers will be retained until the new Advisory Board completes the reorganization.

Manufacturers taking part in the various discussions included: Robert McNair, Robert McNair Shingle Co. ; W. C. McMaster, John McMaster Shingle Co.; J. A. Edgecumbe, Edgecumbe-Neryham Co., Ltd.; N. C. Jamison and P. H. Olwell, Jamison Lumber & Shingle Co.; Sam P. Johns, Snoqualmie Falls Timber Co.; A. J. Morley and H. J. Bailey, Saginaw Timber Co.; Clarence E. Hill, Bucoda Shingle Co.; Geo. Bergstrom, Pacific Timber Co.; L. G. Humbarger, Red Cedar Shingle Co.; Paul R. Smith, M. R. Smith Lbr. & Shingle Co.

The congress was brought to a close by the annual dinner dance and entertainment at the Olympic Hotel. It was freely admitted by the manufacturers that they have had the

best year they have had for a long time and that the outlook is bright for a better year in 1926.

The attendance from British Columbia broke all records, the delegation consisting of 36 members, representing about 50 per cent of the mills of the Shingle Manufacturers' Association of B. C.

SULKS DO NOT PAY

(Excerpt from letter written by Harry V. Hanson of the California Panel and Veneer Company, Los Angeles.)

I had a little experience the other day which I thought' you u'ould be interested in. I was walking along the street I live on, and came upon some little fellows playing. One little chap was all alone as far as the others were concerned, rvas not being given any attention whatsoever. He was known in the neighborhood as being a "cry baby," if he could not have his. own way. Naturally the other fellows didn't want to have anything to do with him. There he was, out in the cold as far as participating in the fun rvas concerned.

Phil, it reminded me so much of some of the few concerns in town that have a reputation for "bellyaching'' when business isn't what they think it should be, instead of getting into the game with the rest of the fellows, and either creating some demand, or playing the game the best they know fie1v, ?fld make the most of the present oppor- tunities; It is a whole lot more fun, and makes for con. geniality and co-operation. The sulks do not pay !

With all ,h. "du.r,iring 'h.lpd b.ing distributed nowadays by manufacturers and associations, there is no reason on earth why the retail lumber merchant should fail to get his share of business.

If you educate the customer to buy only what is best for him, you won't have to choose between selling him what he wants or what he ought to have-and he'll be suie to get his money's worth.

To the Lumbermen of this great country we say:-

Lumber Size Requirements:Califorqia Buildin$ Codes

(From Report of R. G. Kimbell, Architectural Engineer)

The following is a summary of the various mentions

made of lumber sizes.in present Bu.ilding Codes of Califor-

nia cities, together with a list of the codes, dates thereof,

and the sections in. which the size references

The actual sizes demanded by the building inspector are pti*"rify ftii i"t"tpr"t"tion of ihe ordinan"i, "rrh, thus, it

depends'particularly o'n the attitude of the man in office as etc., in size. to what sizes are requirpd. A reasonable interpretation of the ordi'nances permits Standard sizes.

This whole situation will be clarified after the approval of the proposed uniform code for the Pacific Coast cities by the Pacific Coast Building Officials' Conference, which will, according to the sentiments I have gathered in my contact with the members of the cohference, include and comprehend American Lumber Standards. In fact. a revision of

the tentative draft to comprehend American Lumber Stand-

ards was one of the stro-ngest points brought o-ut in

tentative draft of this code before the meeting of building

officialsinSeattle.

I have fouhd nearly all of the inspectors quite enthusi-

astic about the basic grades for structural matirial, but they

all wonder when the iranufacturer is going to produce those

grades, and seem to feel a little un&rtain about utilizing

ih.* r. long as they must depend on local selection for de"-

liveries. '

NEW RULES FOR HUNTERS

Alva Carlton, flouston, Texas, insurance man, recently sent out a card to his friends, which read as follows:

Open Season

To the man who loves a bird dog and a gun, the "Gates of Paradise" are open. The season for fatal accidents, caused by the careless handling and use of guns, is also open.

A true sportsman is a prince among men whom it is a pleasure to meet, and a joy to know.

The following rules for the guidance of novices have been compiled by an old-timer who thinks he knows about accidentd:

1. Always leave your gun loaded and cocked when you get into a car. If it loes off, the fellow on the back seat, will not say anything to you, or anyone else.

Z. When you stop to roll a pill or light your pipe, lean the muzzle of your gun against your vest. When your dog paws the trigger your troubles will be over.

3. When you see a bunph of decoys, pretend they are ducks. Work around in front of them for a pot shot. Aim high. You may get the guy in the blind behind them.

4. If you vyant to club a possum with your gun; don't bother to unload it. It will unload itself when you hit him. You won't have any more use for possum.

5. If you see something moving along the top of the high grass, take a crack at it, it may be a duck walking on stilts. The other fellow has no business trying to sneak up to your lake, anyway.

6. When you pull your gun through a barbed wire fence by the muzzle, drag it over a nice long barb that will reach the trigger. You won't have to bother about climbing over that fence again,

7. If a shell jams in your automatic or the action hangs on your pump be sure and point it toward someone while you are trying to jerk it loose. You will be sure to get him.

8. When you sit down by your car for lunch, lean your gun against the fender with a good slant. When anyone steps on ttre running board it wiU be sure to fall. The result may not be fatal, but there is a chance.

HIDING THE WAY

Before I could be wise f wore A beaten pathway to your door, And all the trafhc of my day, Went up and down that narrow uray. And now that I am wise and keep My love at home, and half asleep I only wish the grass would grow To hide the way I used to go.

-Jean Kenyon Mackenzie.

THE DREAMER

I would rather be a buildpr, Of castles made of air, To be rebuilded every day And dwell in fancy there. With everything to make me glad, The doors all closed to gloom, The sunshine of tomorrow

Shining into every room; Than ever keep within the walls

Of sad things, past and now, For, though my castles do not last, They're cheering, anyhow. And so I build and build again, Rebuild from day to day, Some time the Master Builder, May let my castle stay.

-Chester Reese.

THE SHARPEST PINE

The teacher had been reading to her class about the forests of America

"And now, boys," she said, ttwhich one of you can tell me which pine has the longest and sharpest needles?"

Up went a hand in the front row.

"Well, Tommy?"

"The porcupine."

A GOOD SELLING TALK

A party of traveling men, seated in the lolby of the hotel, were bragging about the splendid firms they worked for, each one trying to outdo the other. They told how rich, how progressivg how big, and how fine were their respective companies, how many people they employed, how many stores sold their stocks, etc.

"No house in this country, f am proud to say, has more men and women pushing its line of goods,. than mine," proudly remarked one in the corner, who had not yet been heard from. I

"'What do you sell?"

"Baby carriages," he replied.

MORNING PRAYER

The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns- and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind fbces; let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to oui resting beds weary and content and undishonored, and grant us-in the end the gift of sleep. Amen.-Robert Louii Stevenson.

VERY OFTEN

"Be careful how you kill your temptations," says Don Marquis, "you may have to drag arourid the skeletons."

Home Insulation on Increase Director ", ."""lll;*'"iH:lto., r-o" Angeres

Showing that home builders of Los Angeles are discarding cheap building material in favor of better grades, the value of the average building permit issued here so far this year is 15 per cent greater than in the corresponding period lor 1924. Building permits this year average $3367' as compared with an average value of. $D24 last year'

A large part of this 15 per cent increase in the value of the aveiage building permit is going into the insulation of hcimes, a recent survey conducted by this company showed' As a result, our sales of this material have. increased 100 per cent and it has become necessary to establish a special deoartment to,,handle them.

htt ittspeition of 2000 old hou,s-es, picked at randon throughout the city, disclosed tit-"t 60 per cent were not insulate? and that an additional 3O per cent were improperly insulated. On the other hand, about 85 per cent of new houses are being insulated.

These surpriJing figures are proof -that the California builder now lenerally iealizes that ins-ulation is now almost as important-a factor as the foundation and the roof' For insulaiion means comfort and, in effect, is the difference between a house and a barn.

BEVERLY HILLS YARD TO EXPAND.

The Beverly Hills Lumber Company has purchased additional ground, adjoining their original plant, for expansion of tfieir growing business.

HOLLYWOOD YARDS IN MERGER

The Pioneer Lumber Company and the Hollywood Ttumber Company, both long estlblilhed in the film city, have just recentl/ "tttoot""d'the amalgamation of the two in'"iitotiotrr. The deal involves in the neighborhood of a half million dollars.

It is understood the Hollywood Lumber Company has purchased the stock and good will of the other, concern lnd that they will take a liase on a section of the Pioneer property, reiaining it for use as a retail yard.--

compiny will be known as,the^ H-ollywoodPioneer Lumber tompany, according to Mr. Orville Routt, Vice President.

WHITNEY COMPANY'S FIR FRAME PRODUCTION AT HIGH MARK

TheWhitney Company's frame factory at Garibaldi, Oibgoh, is producing 2Oiars of frames a month. Most of these ire being distriblted in the Eastern states, and of course a good pr6portion into the California territory. Th-e comfa"y itripp.d nine cars of frames to Florida up to the time the -railroid embargo went into effect.

FOREST WEEK TO CONTINUE

American Forest Week f.or 1926 will begin Sunday, April 18, according to an announcement made at the office of the American Forest Week Committee. President Coolidee will be requested to confirm this date and issue the cu-stomary presidential proclamation following his custom and that -of the I'ate President Harding. This will be the fifth annual observance of a special week set aside for forestrv education.

It comprisis 74 per cent yellow pine (known to the trade as Caiifornia white pine), 25 per cent white fir and the balance i'ncense cedar. The forest service values this stumpage at not less than $3.50. per thousand feet for pine and 50 cents per thousand for fir and cedar. In order to promote industrial develop- ment in t-he territory where this timber occurs, the governryent will require that the purchaser manufacture this timber at a mill in Modoc county. Ample provision will be made in the contract for the protection of ihe seed trees a.nd youqg timber when the mature timber is logged and the purchaser will be required to adopt the best known methods to prevent fire in the woods. In addition to establishing a_ substantial payroll .in the Alturas territory, this new lumbering operation will provide at least 12 thousand tons of freight per year.

One of the important advantages of Cadwallader-Gibson table tops, panels, etc., is that face and core are of the same woodt

This minimizes the tendency to shrink, \rarp or crach, since cores and face are affected equally by climatic changes. To make panels in this manner and sell them at such attractive prices is possible simply because all manufacturing is done under American supervision with American machinery in the Island of Luzon.

ROOF of Pioneer Yosemite Rock Surf-aced Shingles is an investment in beauty for your home and moreover, one that protects your entire in' vestment in the home and its contents. In addition to shielding ihe walls, the framework and the interior of the structure from the ravages of time and the elements, it is constantly guarding them from the dangers of ex' posure fires-from flying sparks and embers. And this 6re resistance is endorsed by the National Board of Fire Underwriters-a point that lowers insurance rates on both home and contents.

Let their beauty and non.fading colors enhance the value of your home while their invulnerable armor reduces depreciation and the element of fire hazard!
