INWooD COUNTRY CLUB, FAR
ROCKAWAY, N. Y, July 10.-Joe
Kirkwood, New Yorker, formerly
OF Australia, set a course record
for Inwood today, when he made
his morning qualifying round in
the national open golf champion
ship in 70, leading the field.
Guy M. Standifer, Of Columbia
Country Club, Washington, sprang
sensational rs in the morning
round of qualification scores. He
jumped well into the front with his
incoming round, which was negoti-
ated in "a, just one stroke above
Kirkwood's record-brealsing journey.
Standifer was not expected to cut
any figure, and was expected to be
lucky to get. in at all, because of
the fact that the field was unusu-
ally fast. His performance this
in the afternoon round, assures him
Of qualifying.
Long Off His Tees.
Standifer's card for the morning
round follows:
Out. 45555 6--41
In. 343f4 4 8 4 4 6-S4-7S
The Columbia man was out in II,
which was not expected to give him
a chance. He struck his stride on
the inward Journey and collected
three SIS. five AS, and a &, after
slicing his second. Standifer was
as long as any Of them off the

Architects, contractors, builders and
homeowners are probably not gener-
ally aware that the comprehensive
and sweeping program for the ma
tlonal Standardization of lumber
which has been actively under way
for more than a year, following sew
oral years of preliminary discussion,
is nearing completion.
without attempting to cover the
whole field of progress that has been
made to date by the central commit
tee on lumber standards and the CO.
operating consulting committee on
lumber standards, it is important to
note that standard widths and thick
nesses for yard lumber tentatively
have already been determined. This
action is described as a distinct step
in progress toward the establishing
of sound and simplified national stand
ards for the manufacture and sale or
lumber. Another subject in which the
building public it vitality interested is
that of odd and short lengths OF lum-
Der. This important question is now
under consideration by the practlcal
size Investigating committee-a sub
sidiary of the consulting committee.
standard Lumber Lengths.
In examination of the meaning of
odd and short lengths of lumber 1T
should be said that standard sizes or
lumber, following long established
custom are in even feet lengths, pc
ginning with eight feet and running
rp as high as sixteen. Odd lengths
are. of course, the intermediate
lengths of Z. 8, IL, 10 and 10 feet. A
varying amount of material is wasted
in conforming to even lengths as
owing to defects and the taper OF the
log, odd lengths often result in saw
ing, but have to be cut off to meet
standard size requirements. AS for
short lengths, it is plain for similar
reasons that if the manufactures
makes no boards under eight feet IN
length much of the material is also
wasted.
In addition to the manufacturing
wastes in both odd and short lengths
it. is notorious that there are huge
carpentering waIteS in cutting stand
ard boards to meet building require
ments where short lengths would De
much more economical. 1t has been
calculated roughly that the waste of
good lumber material because of the
custom of not using odd and short
lengths, in as much as 10 or is per
cent Of the lumber content of the
log. In these days Of dwindling
forest supplies such an item is well
worth saving both from the con-
sumer's economy point of view and
the general conservation of forest re-
sources.
According to the architects of the
National Lumber Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION the use of odd and short
lengths of lumber Of all kinds is a
conservation measure in which all

those who have at heart the best in
terests of timber conservation
lumber manufacturers, dealers and
consumerS-are concerned. Lumber
manufacturers are practically inter-
ested in the inclusion of more odd
and short lengths of lumber in ship
ments because this permits of more
economical log utilization. 1t Is ap-
parent also that a larger proportion
of odd and short lengths may suit
the convenience. as well as the purse.
OF many consumers of lumber.
Object to Odd Lengths.
However, some wholesalers. re-
tailers and consumers object to odd
and short lengths They urged that
these lengths increase the cost Of
handling. necessitate larger storage
space and more capital Other rea-
sons given for their opposition are
that the inclusion of a large pro-
portion of odd and short lengths in
their stocks will increase overhead
costs and result in a decreased turn
over OF stock. 1t seems, therefore
that the problem is not one pri-
marily of manufacturing, but one of
marketing.
If contractors, architects and con-
sumers, generally, demand long and
short lengths the dealers will nat
urally meet their requirements. 1t is,
therefore, desirable to ascertain to
what extent the builder can advan-
tageously use odd and short lengths
me practical size committee desires
the cooperation of builders in deter
mining to just what extent the pub
lie really does require odd and short
lengths and the percentage of them
that may be used in average con-
struction as compared with the total
amount used. All persons interested
in this subject are urged to write
to t. +. Laist, secretary of the Prac-
teal Size Investigating Committee.
