building equipment and production machinery will be raised. New limits will be: recreational construction, $15,ffi on building equipment and $5,0(D on production machinery; "all other" construction, which, as noted previously, will include industrial as well as the present "all other" category; $100,00O on building equipment and $20,000 on production machinery; and no limit on building equipment for residential.

Present limits are $10O,00O on building equipment and $200,m0 on production machinery for'industrial, but only $15,000 on building equipment and $5,000 on production machinery for "all otheri' construction except recreational construction, where DO ratings are not.now permitted.

Other liberalizations will remove the prohibition-on selfauthorization for wide-flange beams and sections for all categories of construction, and will permit self-authorization of I ton of stainless steel per project, per quarter for construction of chemical Plants.

The amendment to Order M-77 provides that beginning Jan. l, 1953, the dollar limit ($25,00) is removed on controlled materials for small telephone companies' use in construction Projects.

Also, companies operating less than 15,000 instruments may self-authorize for all their maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) materials.

All communication companies, regardless of size, may self-authorize for construction per quarter, per project, within thege limits:

Taping Lumber

The Pacific Lumber Company found "Scotch" tape useful in theirroffice, according to Jim Farley, and they concluded that' the same principle adapted to lumber rvould be equally successful. This led to inquiry and a series of experiments with industrial tape, and today the company is using it in rvrapping all sidings and drop-sidings, some mouldings and industrial patterns.

The full use of industrial tape has not yet passed out of the experimen-tal stages. Further research in adhesives is

required'to produce a tape which rvill not bond rvith the rvood and yet rvill make a dependable "tie." The wrapping is norv done by hand. The ultimate goal is to do it by machine. Finished boards are not rvrapped because of the danger of lifting splinters by the now too adhesive tape. Improvements in the tape rvill ultimately solve that problem. Sidings are bundled four to six pieces per bundle, depending on the rvidths. Top and bottom of the bundle have the face turned in to protect the finished surface. Drop-sidings and other patterns are also rvrapped rvith the faces in. If there is any sticking of the tape it is only to the back, and this is never serious. Double-faced patterns present the same problem as finished boards. but are bundled to protect them from shipping damage. The tape does no more damage to these than would trvine.

The tape is an 880 filament glass fibre, one inch u'ide, with the strands all running rvith the length of the tape. It is held together and coated by a plastic. On the inside is the adhesive. This type of material eliminates stretching. Thus the bundles of lumber are ahvays tightly held together and reach their destination in better condition. The time taken for rvrapping is no saving over the time for u'rapping in ts'ine; the advantages come in the handling afterrvard. Hos'ever, this time element rvill be a factor when a machine is perfected for the purpose.

Advantage over the old system of rvrapping is evident rvhen it is noted that knots will slip and trvine rvill stretch, making a loose package with possible damage to finished lumtrer in handling or shipment. In stacking soft-rvood lumber bundled rvith twine which of necessity is knotted, the rveight of the lumber rvill press the twine into the wood and damage or deface it. Twine has the added disadvantage that it does not lend itself to ultimate mechanization as readily as does tafie.

Maeterlinck On lcve

Thousands of channels there are through which the beauty of our soul may sail even unto our thoughts. Above all there is the wonderful, central channel of love. For is it not in love that are found the purest elements of beauty ttat we can offer to the soul? Some there are who do tfius in beauty love each other. And to love thus means that, little by littl'e, the sense of ugliness is lost; that one's eyes are closed to all the littleness of life, to all but the freshness and'virginity of the very humblest of souls. Loving thus, yve can no longer have anything to conceal, for that the ever-present soul transforms all thirigs into beauty. It is to behold evil in so far only as it purifies indulgence, and teaches us no longer to confound the sinner with the sin.

Dunces To Geniuses

Charles Darwin could never learn a language.

Napoleon was number 42 in his class-yet we do not know the name of one of the 41 who were ahead of him.

Sir Isaac Newton \ras next to the lowest in his form. He failed in his geometry because he did not do his problems in the way the book said he should.

George Eliot learned to read with very great difficulty. She gave no promise of brilliance in her youth.

James Russell Lowell was suspended from Harvard for complete indolence.

Oliver Goldsmith was the very bottom of his class.

Emerson was a hopeless dunce in mathematics.

James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, was the butt of his playmates in school.

All of which proves, probably, that you cannot distinguish genius at an early age, for most of the mathematician wizards of youth are seldom heard of in later life.

Not Poison

"I have known you so long, doctor," sbid the patient at the end of his visit, "f do not intend to insult you by ofrering to pay you. But I have arranged a handsome legacy for you in my will." "That's very kind," the doctor said. "And let me have that prescription, again, please. I want to make a slight alteration in it."

Good talk has always fourished in taverns, but it dies in the hotel de luxe. Id springs up naturally around campfires. It results from conditions which strip ofr socid veneer and bring pegple together on a plane of elementary humanity.-Marjorie Barstow Greenbir.

Ben Frcmlclin OnrBeing Hcrppry

There are two ways of being happy. We may cithcr diminish our wants or augmcnt our mcansr..eithcr witl dr the result is for each rnan to decidc for himsclf, and do,that which happens to bc the easiest.

If you are idle or sick or p(xrr, however herd it may be to diminish your wantg it will bc hardcr to ar_rgEcnt your means. If you are active and proepcrous or young or in good health, it may be easier for you to augmcnt your Ecans than to di'nirrish your wants.

But, if you are wise you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are yery wise you will do both in such a way as to augmcnt the goeral happiness of society.-Bcnjamin Franklin.
