SEES EXHAUSTION
Of TIMBER SUPPLY
Lumber Man Says Vigorous
Reforesting Is Necessary
to Save Complete Denuding.

CHICAGO. August within SO
years, the United States will be lum-
bankrupt, B. G. Dahlberg, told a
meeting of lumber men here. All the
virgin timber of the country will have
been used at the end of a half cen
tury unless vigorous methods of re-
foresting denuded timber lands are
put into effect, Mr.. Dahlberg said
"The United States" said Mr.. Dahl
berg, "once had S00,000,00o acres OF
virgin forests. Today it has 13S,0O0.-
900 acres, of which Is per cent is west
of the Rocky Mountains. OF 1S1, 1,O0O,-
600 acres that have been denuded of
timber, $1,000, 900 acres are absolutely
barren. About 250,000,000 acres are
in stumpage, slash and various stages
of second growth. We are now cut
ting 100000 acres a year and forest
fires are destroying 100000 acres
To replace our disappearing forests.
we are planting $4,000 acres to trees
annually. At the present rate of de-
structfon, the end of our lumber re-
sources is in sight"

twithstanding the general slow
ing up of business within recent
months and the tendency Of building
activities toward more normal con-
ditions in many parts of the country,
wage scales for skilled craftsmen are
generally holding firm, according to.
a national building labor survey
made public by S. w. Straus & Co.
The building situation is summed up
as follows:
Cd Practical disappearance of conn
mon labor shortage and more
plentiful supply of skilled labor
90 Increased wage scales in many
large cities, although bonuses seem
TO be disappearing, and common abor
has accepted some reductions in some
localities.
go Numerous strikes in various
cities. which have interfered with the
progress of the building program DUR
ing the Summer.
tD Increased dependence upon ap-
premiership training schools to sup
ply the annual requirements of some
$4,000 workers.
General Trend Upward.
THE general trend of building
wages is still upward, although in
few smaller cities there has been
perceptible tendency to reduce wages
of skilled craftsmen" says the report
of the survey. The payment of
generally, and common labor of
which there is now a plentiful sup
ply, has accepted some reductions in
some localities. High wage records
have been attained during the past
six months in many cities, and en-
ployers in some cities have organized
bitter fight against further in
creases.
h
business has released large amount
of common labor for the building
industry, II is to be noted that the
new per cent immigration law
greatly lessons the likelihood of more
mechanics being available from Eu-
rope. Approximately $1,000 building
craftsmen entered during the cur
rent year, but, with the reduction of
The quota, this number may be re-
duced by one-half during the next
year. This means that the appren-
uceshIp training movement will have
10 be depended on more than ever
before to supply the $4,000 workers
required each year to fill the gaps
caused by death and the withdrawal
OF members to oth her lines of indus
try.
The upward tendency of wages is
indicated by the fact that during the
ranging from 2k to 12a cents per
hour have been granted to the prin-
cipal building trades in Kansas City,
cincinnati, Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Bal
timore, Buffalo, Louisville and Des
Moines. Other cities in which some
wage Increases have been granted
mostly to plasterers. bricklayers,
painters, electricians and carpenters,
are Chicago. Dayton, Columbus Mil

country wnh the highest wage scale.
Common laborers are receiving from
40 cents to sl10 and bricklayers s175
and up.
The common labor rate for the
nation. as applied to pick and shovel
men. was 56 cents for July, as against
81 cents for the same month last year

Any color scheme can be carried out

If q house is of red brick the flower
coiors must be chosen with the great

Since the prices of materials and

that you consult a local dealer who

the range. The boiler may be placed
in the basement. where it could be
heated by the furnace in Winter and
by a gas heater during the months
when the furnace is not in use The
presence of boiler in the kitchen
makes the room uncomfortably warm
in Summer.
1t would be possible to place the
pertition wall between the kitchen
and pantry a couple of feet nearer the
chimney and turn the pantry space
into a modest little dining room. with
built-in sideboard across the end
under the window, and no other fur
niture in the room save the table and
chairs. Another window should be
introduced in the long wall. This
modification of the service portion
would permit living room of truly
splendid proportions, or two rooms
with vistas from the hallway.
The house is entered through tiny
porch into hall from which the
stairway rises to the second floor.
There is a large fireplace in the living
room which is seen from the hall. so
the first impression of the house is
pleasant one.
The dining room and living room
are practically one. Yet by introduc-
ing the slight effect of a division-in
the form of a seat or pillar or
grille as one choosas-the dining room
seems separate unit; and it may be
made even more so by the arrange
ment of the furniture, ii one should
care to have more privacy at meal
time. The seat at the foot of the
stairs may be made so that the top
raises and magazines and books may
be kept there.
There are four bedrooms and a bath
upstairs arranged in such Il way that
the bath is equally accessible from all
rooms. The sewing room is off to one
side Where il is quiet and the machine
may be put directly under the win

which brought Walter Maranville, infleld star; Wilbur Cooper, left handed pitcher, and Charley Grimm, first baseman, to the Chicago Ma tionals from the Pittsburgh Nation als, in exchange for Grantham, second baseman; Victor Aldridge, pitcher, and Albert Niehaus, a re- cruit first baseman, has received here with general approval from the fans.
 There was some regret over the loss of Grantham, who had hit well since he came here in 1928, from Omaha, of the Western league. He had displayed cratic ability in handling slow balls, however, which frequently precipitated the Cubs into inextricable positions. A year ago Granthap's errors lost the city series. Ifwas regarded here as probable that he would be used in the Pittsburgh Outfield.
 Cooper will fill a long felt want of the Cubs for competent left handed hurlcr. Aldridge was one of the best on the staff. but it was top heavy with right handlers.
 kiehaus was purchased from Chattanooga. in the Southern Asso- citation, shortly before the close of the season.

SELECTS KELLY
they Reds Manager Thinks Giant Player Most Valuable Utility Man In Big Leagues.

Cincinnati, Oct. cs. Manager Jack Hendricks of the Reds consid- CTS George Kelly of the New York Giants the most valuable utility player in the National league. if not both major organizations.
 The fine showing of Kelly in the world series, despite the fact that he struck out twice in a pinch in the final game, bears out Hendricks opinion of him.
 Kelly tv & great first baseman--a fine target for the infelders. He has a wonderful arm and is a dangerous hitter.
 Filling in at second base in the series when Frisch was moved over to third, Kelly saved the first game by a remarkable play on Goslln. In the outield he played equally well.
 There are few players in the ma 1ors who can perform in the infeld or outfield as capably as Kelly does.
