Stories and Tapestries
Out of the Past

Tbr voung men smoked their eigsretoes
and ehatted, but sat by the hre WIN
Madame and listened TO stories Of the pas'
~ ancestors who had followed their
ling iuto exile in Austria and Of how tho
women Of ths family had made and pre-
seryed tapestries for two hundred years
and how Madame's own grandmother had
made with her own hands the valuable
tapestry that covered the huge easy-chaH
in which sat. All Of the rest Of the
chairs had tapestry covers, too, and
Madame told me which were the hnest
and why. Al last she rose to go into the
hall 10 unlock one Of the chests q never
would have dreamed there could be so
many things TO lock up) and brought back
three big rolls Of tapestry.
81 myself have made these tapestries
she said. Zone day | shall have them on
chairs. See, here is the back and here for
the seat and these will cover the arms. IL
is all complete, you will observe"
Ineredulously / gszed upon the out
spread tapestries, each one made with
stitches. as if they had been made by
fairy fingers. And three Of those huge
rolls! But, Madame, how is this posi-

AS tell you, ! made them all. From
the time Of my marriage have worked
upon them. Yes, there are many millions
Of stitches; but, then, that is the work OF
a Frenchwoman, who delights TO make
things for the adornment Of her home.
One day. as ] said, shall have them put
on chairs. Soon now When the children
we're young they would have spoiled them
with their feet; but not now"
| looked at the big, tapestry-covered
chairs in the salon, which had not been
injured by generations Of young feet or
faded by the passing Of decades. And
looked at the three rolls in Madame's
arms and | thought that to possess even
one would be riches beyond ones dreams.
Yet here was Madame with so many, and
some had even belonged 20 that ancestor
Of my own who had carried that sword

But
Well, nothing leaves an old French
chateau and full we'll knew it For
France is a land Of reverence for the
things Of the past and the traditions that
have come down from her glorious age,
and she guards the material evidences Of
the periods wherein were created the arts
that are to-day the treasures Of the mu-
seums Of the world.

tary Hoover. Mr.. Blodgett issued the
following statement:
"The National Lumber Manufacturer
which represents practi.
cally the sawmill industry of the United
States, has, at the invitation OF Secre-
tary Hoover, completed arrangements
fo:. program of cooperation with the
OF Commerce, which prom.
ises great benefit and protection to both
users and producers Of lumber and to
the public generally.
Architects to Meet.
"a conference has been arranged at
which the consumers of lumber will be
represented by architects, construction
engineers and railway and car building
experts, and the manufacturers by q
committee representing every variety OF
wood and every lumber manufacturing
section of the United States. 1t Is our
hope that this conference will result
in the standardization of tho various
sizes and grades of lumber which enter
into essential and everyday require
ments Of the lumber consumer. This
should result in promoting efficiency and
lowering the cost of production and
greatly decreasing the waste by lumber
consumers.
1.-THE conference also will have un-
der consideration a plan for mark
ing the grade on each piece OF lumber
as it leaves the sawmtll. This grade
mark will assure the buyer of the
delivery of lumber of the quality
specified by his architect or engineer.
The greater part Of the manufactnr-
ers of each species of wood are or
ganized into regional trade associa-
tions, which associations maintain

weli-equipped inspection service.
which It IL planned shall be made
available for the public use to- the
end that every buyer or user Of lum-
Der may have the means OF assuring
himself Of the delivery of the correct
quantity and quality Of lumber.
Lumber is difficult to grade because
1t Is not q homogeneous commodity.
The defects vary In each tree. The
lumber using, public Is unaccustomed
to the methods Of grading and meas
uring lumber. The grade marking
and the universal lumber inspection
service should therefore be Of the ut
most value to the lumber consumers.
"This most constructive program OF
Secretary Hoover's cannot be carried
out except through the cooperation
of these regional lumber trade asso-
Citations which are federated in the
National Lumber Manufacturers As
ISOLATION. This affords a striking IL
lustration Of the manner in which
trade organizations can and do per-
form a positive and valuable public
service. There is at present no def
milton either by judicial decision or
by statute rs to what constitute leg
itimate trade association activities.
Speaking for the lumber industry, 1t
does not expect to be placed above ths
pale of the antitrust laws. as are
agriculture and labor, but We would
like to have these laws so clearly de-
fined that the scope of lawful asso-
plain. We feel 1t is a duty Of the gov
eminent to aid legitimate and con-
structive business effort to this ex-
tent"
