WOODS THAT ARE DURABLE
Above All, the Cypress Is Coming Into
General Use for Purposes Of
Interior Decoration.

Wood, its uses and, above all, its
prices, are matters of moment TO ey-
eryOne who cOntemmates building, re-
modelling or adding TO house.
There a~e some southern pines that
are comparatively reasonable and
which give good results. Houses built
Of them In Virginia and the Carolinas
attest to their durability. IL is suit
able for interior finish, as II has va
riety of grains and takes on good
finish, whether In soft stain or hard
enamel paint.
Cypress is being used for many pur-
poses. The great swamps Of the South
are yielding up their forests and the
lumber Is finding its way into the
northern markets. This is not as
strong a wood as some others, but 1t
has good lasting qualities and Is equal
ly good for exterior and interior fin
ish. IT is very satisfactory finished In
its natural color.
A wood that is finding much favor
for interior finish is the red gum, also
from the South. II may be had highly
figured or PLATA, quarter-sawed or plain
sawed, and Il takes very fine finish.
The red gum is finished In its natural
tones or stained TO initiate mahogany
and sometimes brown walnut.
