WOOD WORKERS USE LANGUAGE
 ALL THEIR OWN
tBy Associated Press)

TACOMA, Aug. 19.-Workmen in coast have a language all their own that is not understood by the uni initiated.
 A "faller" is the workman who falls" the trees, and a good faller can always fall his tree so that it will drive a stake that he had previously set into the ground A "bucker" saws the tree into logs, and the process is called buck ing a log. A sawyer" always works in the lumber mill, and he saws the logs into lumber. X "fiI- CT" files the saws and keeps them sharp.
 The "hooktender" in a logging camp puts the chain around the logs so they may be hauled in with a donkey engine. A chaser" follows the log as 1t is being dragged in, "swamper" keeps the roadway clear for the logs, and "sniper" cut off the sharp corners of the logs so they will drag the easier. A "choker" is the cable line placed about log.
 A "highclimber" in logging camp Is the workman who goes up the logging mast to place high lines from the donkey engine. The skid greaser" puts grease upon skid roads so the logs will slide more readily. The whistle punk" operates the donkey engine whistle and signals the workmen with it. A donkey" is a stationary engine with cables that long ago replaced oxen in log handling in the west.
 A boom" is a number of logs in the water held in place by boom sticks"
 In former times the word bull fighter" was commonly heard. It applied to the man in a logging camp who had demonstrated his su- perior ability with his fists in num- erous encounters with his fellow workers. This expression is no long CT heard loggers say, because fight ing in logging camps is a pastime in which workmen no longer indulge A fight is now a rare occurrence in the woods of the coast.

DO YOU KNOW VALUE OF SHOE
TREES?

One of the most necessary household
accessories Is shoe trees.
Shoes placed on trees after they are
taken off the feet will keep their shape
and wear almost twice as long as shoes
that are dropped with a thud on the
floor at night and left to lie as they
fall until put back on the next morn
ings
Children's shoes especially should be
carefully freed each night for tender.
growing feet are easily ruined for life
by shapeless shoes. Also the shoe that
is freed has a chance to air out The
tops of high winter shoes should be
carefully folded down in order to allow
all air possible into the interior. If the
feet have perspired during the day this
