Sell Wood From
The White House

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-(P)-
Historical societies and individuals
in various parts Of the country are
acquiring bits Of lumber from the
old roof Of the White House, which
was removed last summer.
Some Of the best pieces were sal
vaged by the office Of public build
ings and parks and are now being
sold TO the highest bidders. Nearly
$1,000 already has been realized
from this sale.
The roof removed last summer was
put on after the British burned the
capital in 1914. When the White
House was remodeled in 1902, the
roof was untouched. But last year,
while the president and his family
were mentioning in the Black Hills.
an entire new roof was constructed.
The historic timber has been in
demand for museum cases and for
the making Of gavels. Enough wood
70 make a gavel costs about $l.50.
Col. u s. Grant III, in charge OF
the office Of public buildings and
parks, has a long table in his office
made from some Of the southern
pine which was in the roof. He left
