innovation of grade-marked and

The Southern Pine Association is
credited with being the first or
ganizafion Of lumber manufactur-
ers in the world to adopt and put
into operation. the grade-narking
of lumber. The practice has long
been advocated by architects, con-
tractors, engineers, retail lumber
dealers and lumber users. for the

sales, and it also Is Endorsed by

Secretary Hoover and other off

|ment of Commerce as a great for
ward step for the benefit Of the
public as well as for the industry
and trade.
Grade-marking is an important
feature of the National Lumber
standardization program and the
Southern Pine Associations plan
has been given official approval as
meeting the recommendation of
the Standardization Conference res.
pectif1g this practice.
For many years lumber produc-
ers in several foreign countries,
notably in northern Europe and
Japan, have been grade-marking
their lumber and timber. But this
has applied almost exclusively to
export stock, and the foreign prac-
tice consists of merely the branding
of the trademark and trademark
of the individual manufacturer and
the branding is not supported by
an authoritative inspection service.
The "SPA" system of grade and
trade-marking is thus regarded as
a decided Improvement over the
foreign methods. Greater protec-
ton to lumber buyers is afforded
by the Southern Pine Association
plan.
While the grade-marking became
effective in the association sub
scriber mills only on April ! last,
yet the plan has been under con-
sideration and experiment by that
organization since March, 1922, and
number of the mills had insti-
tuted the practice a few weeks prior
to the final adoption of the plan

citation and it's subscribers. It is

CROWD
Many Improvements Being
Made in the Popular Severn
River Summer Colony

The continued increase in water
front property is evidenced by the
fact that last Sunday more people
visited Herald Harbor than on any
other day since the opening OF the
resort.
washington has proven to be a
fertile field for all summer colony
projects that have been started be-
cause OF the scarcity of good local
bathing places and because Of The
beautiful scenes that can be found
along the Severn river and the
Chesapeake bay.
Herald Harbor has perhaps had
the most remarkable growth of any
resort that has ever been started
I'm this section Of the country.
Though it Is only a year old thou
sands Of dollars have been spent
In improvements and over 1000
Washington families have pur-
chased lots, many of which have
already constructed homes.
The w. B. & A. maintains. an
especially convenient schedule for
commuters as well as those who
wish to visit the beach for the aft
ernoon or a days outing. In adj
dition to the electric lines the
Herald Harbor Company has in
augurated a de luxe bus service,
which makes two round trips daily.
While Herald Harbor is already
very popular with Washingtonians
there will no doubt be an increase
in popularity as the people become
accustomed to the beach AMI
acquainted with the numerous ways
devised by the company for the
convenience and pleasure OF their
guests.
With the increase in popularity
there viii be naturally created de-
mand for building lots that will
mean a higher selling price for
those that can be purchased.

To this end real food must be sup

OVER LIES HURDLES
Do Women Need Work?
By LOUIS E. BISCH

Women differ from men in many
ways but they do not differ from
them in their need of work.
Women's physical, mental and
moral welI-being is conditioned BY
the performance Of congenisl ac-
tivity--tbat is, work they are best
adapted for and which they can
do best.
Aside from such fundamental and
distinctly feminine kinds OF work
as motherhood and household man.
agement, each woman must study
herself and see what she likes best.
II a woman works at something
she is not fitted for, it does not
take long for her TO become nerv-
Gus, restless and unhappy.
Motherhood is, Of course, the uni
que biological purpose for the full
fillment Of which women has been
endowed.
1t is motherhood, therefore, that
should logically be regarded as
pre-eminently her work!
However, all women cannot be
mothers, nor do all women want to
be.
The many vocations now open TO
women have naturally turned girls

''The trouble with the Bible In
America" says Bernard Shaw, lis
that though very few read it, every
body thinks he knows what Is In
IT,"
The anti-evolution trial in Ten
nessce, we hear 1t frequently said,
did good because it made people
think
However, the degree of good, re-
sultins from this thinking, will de-
pend largely upon what is used as
a basis Of thought.
Thinking Is like chewing.
The amount Of benefit you derive
from it depends upon what you are
chewing.
You can chew highly favored
gum all day and your body will
starye to death.
If your only basis for thinking
about evolution and religion is the

trial continued little will result but
a collection of hazy ideas and
prejudices.
Only by going to reliable sources
will you have a solid basis.
These sources are two-fold.

Real City Statesmen

17 HERE several big customers in town last
week, and the question that arises is, How many

be worded in this fashion:
What did the citizens OF San Antonio individuals

That question only the individual or the visitor

observation of delegate to the effect that San An

That is pretty compliment, indeed. The Cali

1t has almost become a common
place that women have successfully
pitted themselves against men in
almost all fields, even those re-

However, for the good OF the
race, women ought to consider Sc

nation will soon decay.
More women should perform these
duties that men cannot initiate.
And what's more, such truly fem

A charming mother said to me the
other day: you can't make bone
and muscle out of imagination"
! She had been talking about her
twin boys, aged IL. 1t seems they
do not care for green vegetables,
milk and the substantial foods which
are essential to health and growth.
On the contrary, these boys hun
ger for the denatured and inferior
foods-the fabricated foods" or, as
the mother put it, the Imaginary
foods" This is a mistaken sort Of
appetite. The mother well said:
"You can't build bone and muscle
out Of imagination.
Nothing can be more important
that to supply the demands Of
growing body. 1t is all very well
to satisfy hunger, but that isn't
enough. You can overcome hunger
with sawdust or clay, but don't
noed to tell you such indigcstible
things would do you actual harm.
Simply to satisfy the yearnings Of
the stomach, regardless of what is
swallowed for this purpose, is to
breed trouble. 1"~s q
Every adult must have an abun.
dance of the substantial foods. He
must have the protein, the mineral
substance and the vitamins. 1t would
lead to disaster to attempt feeding
the body with fats and carbohydrates
alone. The building materials, the
repair materials, must be had to
keep the body from wrack and
ruin.
