the School Board might not be ham,
pcrcd in it's work because of vacancy.
Many of the resolutions that came be-
fore the school officials require n two
thirds votc--tcn votes--for adoption.
and n vacancy makes 1t difficult to as
sure sufficient attendance ut meetings to
adopt such resolutions.

PASTE MAY BE TOO HEAVY.
Writer Says Wall Paper Will

''Paperhangers frequently complain
about the poor quality of wall paper
stock" says a writer in the Bulletin Of
the Building Managers and Owners As
eociation OF New York. Especially do
they find fault with the paper after it
has been pasted. They claim that it
tears and breaks easily under the weight
OF the paste While 1t may be true that
occasionally poor material may be met
with most of the difficulty encountered
can be overcome by the proper paste
being used
Some times the paste is too heavy
for the paper. This can be overcome
by using the paste thinner than would
be used for the heavy paper. Ex-
tremely delicate papers. however, may
be successfully handled by using paste
made out of starch. Paste made this
way has adhesive quality. but it is light
in weight and practically stainless.
Starch paste Is made in practically the
same way as -four paste, as follows;
The starch crystals are soaked in
water and beat up into a stiff batter.
then scalding hot water is poured on it
until it swells exactly in the same way
as -four paste. Paste made in this man.
ner can be thinned down. 1t is of ad-
heslve quality and spreads out smooth
without adding extra water to the paper
or softening the stock by soaking in too
rapidly"

LUMBER TRADE HIT
BY RAILROAD STRIKE
Freight Moves Slowly and De-
liveries Are Uncertain; Car
Situation Bad.

The volume Of lumber buying con-
tinues good for this season Of year. Or
ders for most of the popular woods con-
tinue to equal or exceed production. ac-
cording to the An,ertcun Lumbernsun,
Stocks, therefore, remain broken, and
buyers are often not able to have their
requirements filled according to their
specifications and requirements. For the
first twenty-six weeks OF 1922 orders
have exceeded production by approx
mately 20 per cent, and shipments have
also exceeded production. This means.
of course, that stocks In manufacturers
hands have been reduced and that a
good deal of the material that Is un-
shipped has been sold.
The railroad strike situation Is hav-
ing retarding effect upon the lumber
business. Freight is moving slowly and
deliveries are uncertain. Sellers. there
fore, are very careful about accepting
orders for future delivery and In general
are accepting only business which can
be sent forward Immediately. Further
more, the car situation Is by no means
of the best. Scarcity Of cars Is noticed
in some producing sections and with the
increase In the grain movement and In
the number OF bad order cars the situa.
ton Is not viewed with. satisfaction.
Some sellers. expecting the shippine
situation to become worse. have rushed
some unsold shipments through and
price concessions have been offered on
some such stock. Otherwise the market
remains firm. For the first twenty-six
weeks of 1922 the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association reports the
following vital statistics: Production
s,266, 900 board feet; orders, 5.629. :
$4,000 board feet; shipments. 5,2sl,soo.-
900 board feet.
