the architects, engineers and contractors who have to rvork with lumber products.

Confusionand unnecessary expense-is expected to arise within these circles due to the expensive and tedious changes '"r'hich rvill be required in drawings and specifications, specs long accepted as standard by those skilled artisans lvho design and construct America's homes, buildings and projects utilizing lumber products.

The approv'al of the architects, engineers and contractors must also be given by their representatives on the American Lumber Standards Committee, together with the approval of the lumber dealers and manuiacturers.

Rumor has it that not even all the lumber manuf acturers are in agreement on the proposed changes, which are being sponsored by the manufacturers. Technical and comoetitive questions complicate the pioblems within the sponsoring group, as well as more considerate deliberation as to whether or not this move is in the over-all interest of the lunrber industry.

How The American Lumber Standards Committee Functions

Set up under the direction of the Department of Commerce some years ago, the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALS) functions as a clearing house between the lumber industry and its allied principals and the De- partment of Commerce, giving preliminary consideration to matters affecting the lumber industry before forrvarding them for official action by the Dep,artment of Commerce.

The American Lumber Standards Committee represents many interests, such, as railroads, builders, architects, engineers, lumber manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. General accord on proposed changes must be reached in committee before measures are passed on to the Department of Commerce for official government action.

Association Urges Joint Opposition

"Speak now or forever after hold your peace" is the motto under which the Greater New York Lumber Industries association is urging support in opposition to the proposed lumber standards changes. All those affected (wholesalers, dealers, architects, engineers, contra,ctors and dissident manufacturers) are requested to make their views known to Mr. James H. Carr, Secretary of the American Lumber Standards Committee, at his offices at 2138 P Street, N.\ /., Washington, D. C.

"If you've only got a dollar and you've got to spend it, spend it like a King; spend it as though it were a dry leaf and you the owner of unbounded forests; that's the way to spend it. I'd rather be a beggar and spend my last dollar like a King, than be a King and spend my lnoney like a beggar."

Thus spoke Col. R. G. Ingersoll, one of the most eloquent orators in all history. It was Ingersoll who caused Lincoln to say: "What a marvelous organ is hurnan speech when played by a master."

Ingersoll u'as a close friend of the famous New York clergyman, Henry Ward Beecher. They were friendly enough to exchange arguments, even on the subject of religion. One day Beecher is alleged to have asked Ingersoll what he would do to improve the Lord's creation if he had the por,ver, and Ingersoll ieplied: "That's easy. I'd make health contagious, instead of disease."

Itlvas probably two such men tl.rat Sir Walter Scott l-rad in mind when he wrote of "the stern iov that warriors feel at foeman worthy of their steel."

It is related that at one time Ingersoll was lecturirlg to a large audience on tl-re subject-"Is there a hell?" He said: "f come to you tonight, my friends, to cast no gloom over your future lives, and to say to you that there is no hell."

BY JACK DIONNE

And the tor,r'n drunk staggered to his feet and shouted: "You be doggone sure you're -right, Colonel, because I'm absolutely depending on you."

A group of men r\rere conversing, when one of them asked another for a f,avor, and the reply was a cold "no." And another of the group said to the second man, "You should reply like a lady, a diplornat, or any insurance prospect. When a diplomat says 'no' he means 'maybe,' if he says 'maybe' he means 'yes,' but if he says 'yes' he's no diplomat. Or in case a lady is asked for a kiss, if she says 'no' she means 'maybe,' if she says 'maybe' she means 'yes,'but if she says'yes' she's no lady. Again take the case of an insurance prospect. If he says 'no' he means 'maybe,' if he says 'maybe' he means 'yes,' but if he says ';res' you'll know he can't pass the physical examination."

Ponce de Leon roamed the world seeking the Fountain of Youth, and he had it rvith him all the time and didn't knorv it. The friendship, the trust, the good-vi'ill of the rest of the world is the Fountain of Youth, the Aladdin's lamp of true success, the true gateway to the Road of Happiness. Without it business success is an empty urn, and finar.rcial accumulation turns gold into dross. But if you l-rave it, you have everything else included. I3e agreeable, be friendly, be smiling, be kind.
