HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. 10.
After several months of strained
relations, harmony exists between

Rogers named figure that is
said to rank we'll up in the rostra
Of screen incomes.
Another point ironed out is
that Pathe. will not loan the star
to other companies in the future.
Nothing definite has been de-
cided about the next Harding
picture.
A Delicate Point
This week a young woman
called me seeking the telephone
number of Clara Bow. When I
explained that the stars numbers
are confidential, she wanted to
know if a letter would reach
Clara at the studio. I said it
would reach either Clara or her
secretary.
We'll, that's just what I
wanted to know" said the girl.
"You see, I want to be her secre-
tary"

LUMBER INDUSTRY
AID RECOMMENDED
Production Limit, Imports
Reduction and Small Con-
struCtion Urged.

~ the Associated Press.
Limitation Of production to min
hnurn, reduction Of imports and efforts
10 increase building of small homes
and farm buildings were recommended
by the Timber Conservation Board yes
terday as . means Of assisting the lum-
Der industry.
Reporting to Secretary Lamont, the
board set forth series Of recommended
tious along with statements of gen.
eral conditions in the industry.
The board urged that Withdrawals
from stocks of manufacturers between
July and December. 1881, SHOULD be not
less than half the Indicted excess
stocks OF $500, 100000 feet, and sug-
geSted further;
That during that period production
be limited to the minimum which
financial and community exigencies will
permit"
Would Time Reduction.
That consideration be given by in
dividual manufacturers to timing re-
duction In production SO as TO inflict
minimum hardship on dependent en-
ployeS.
That lumber importers reduce their
1mportations.
That consideration be given by pri-
Vate and public agencies Ito the prac-
ticability through improved, extended
and better co-ordinated means of de-
1erring financing and otherwise Of con-
verting potential demand for building
into active demand especially for farm
business buildings and small homes"
That consideration be given by the
industry to the possibility of uniting
sales facilities in different regions.
That the Conservation Board make
further survey and report on current
and prospective supply and demand. at
the end Of the third quarter of 1881.
That the Census Bureau assemble
information to permit accurate segrega-
ton of soft and hard woods
The report said additional farm build
ingS were needed. but that no general
increase in lumber uses in that direc-
ton may be predicated on present
prospects OF farm income.

substantial general increase in building
can be expected. it added. During the
past year lumber prices were said to
have dropped "a per cent, cement IA
per cent, steel 8 per cent, paint Fl per
cent and brick Z per cent.
Prospects were least promising in
commercial and industrial building, the
report continued. because of surplus
of Office and store space and plant
capacities, leaving residential construc-
ton as "the least saturated major
building types"
In most localities there are ample
residential facilities. but no general
surplus of small dwellings" 1t said.
THE greatest present opportunity for
increases building +" activity lies
largely in this direction" it added, 1.-The
extent of this realization being in large
measure dependent upon the character,
extent and reaSonableneSs Of terms
available financing"
Until the present real estate mort
gage situation shall have been improved
substantial financing of real estate de-
velopments is not expected" it said.
THE prospect is of further curtailment
of new buildings of the types ordinarily
dependent for financing on bond issues.
This reflects the obviously weakened
credit position of the construction in
duStry.
