LOW STOCKS MAKE
BIG LUMBER DEMAND
Recent Increased Shipments Have
Gone Chiefly to Replenish
Yard Supplies.

Answer to the all-important question
in the lumber manufacturing industry
as to the destination of the heavily
increased shipments by the sawmills
during the past two or three months,
as given almost unanimously by retail
ers in all parts Of the country, is that
the buying has gone largely into re-
punishment of low yard stocks and not
to fill consumer demand.
Replies to a brief QUESTIONABLE sent
out by Frank Carnahan, secretary of
the National Retail Lumber Dealers
Association here, to members of that
association showed the general consen-
sus is that the recent advances In prices
have not slowed down demand and
many believe them justified. but that
further advances will be dsadvanta-
geous until there is definite urgency, as
from increased cost resulting from the
adoption of the lumber code. Some re-
tailers, however believe that prices have
advanced too fast and are due to de-
cline; others that if present prices ad-
vance the public will wait before buying
for a better market. Suggestion Is
made that manufacturers do not In
crease production at least until the
promise of improved business is actual
ly fulfilled.
In several States it is apparent that
retailers stocks. though greatly In
creased during the past few weeks. are
not unduly heavy, some recording them
as not up to normal in their territory.
But in Indiana, for instance. sutflclent
stocks are said to be on hand IN retail
yards to last year or year and a
half under average conditions. the
drought in the Middle West and South
west is affecting business prospects; on
the other hand. the good crops in the
Far West should increase demand.

During the eight years of its exist

An announcement from the Chicago
headquarters of the national realtors
body said special code for the real
estate business as whole is being Ce-
veloped and will be submitted to the
board of directors of the organization
at special meeting next Saturday in
Chicago.
Problems Are Varied.
Among problems which confront this
field of business in setting up a code
are long term lease contracts which
will not permit the increased cost Of
labor in the operation of buildings to
be passed along to the consumer. as
in other fields. In Washington also
the rental problem already is acute,
with members of the Senate District
Committee, Government employees and
other groups agitating for reduction in
housing costs
The National Association Of Real
Estate Boards asserts that it is anx-
ious to fall into line with "the oesi:e
of the Government that every line G:
business, whether engaged in interstate
commerce or not, shall be a part of
the Nationwide recovery movement"
A statement which went out this
week to members of the Washington
Real Estate Board points out that be-
fore the Chicago meeting is held "a
tentative outline of the code to be con-
sidered by the directors will be sent to
member boards and every board is in
vited to send in its suggestions for
consideration. Should any board de-

REALTY VALUATION
COMPLETELY GROWS
Report of Local Board Points
to Entrance of Need and
Disturbing actors.

Reporting on a study OF appraising in
Washington during the first 10 months
of the fiscal year, the Washington
Real Estate Board declared today that
the chaotic conditions of the last
few years have developed so many new
and variable problems that accurate
appraising is more difficult today than
ever before"
During the 1O-month period the
Appraisal Committee of the board
evaluated property for a total of So
208,958 as against total of S29l2,-
463 for the prosperity year of 1929.
While basic rules remain un-
changed" the report explains, so many
new factors have entered into the sit
uation that this work has become a
profession in itself Since the idea
that property is worth all it can be
sold for was discarded and men of
integrity. experience and judgment
came into demand for appraisal duty,
these three qualifications were perhaps
all that was required. Today. however,
keen foresight. analytical skill of a
high degree and an almost psychic
gift are indispensable requirements in
the making of sound appraisals.
New Factors Numerous.
The effects of economic upheaYals
and their repercussions; recoveries and
possible setbacks; commodity and stock
price trends; government and business
partnership plans; back-to-the-farm
and cn-to-the-city movements-even
the changing tastes and tempers of
populations are now among the multi
pie new factors checked by the exacting
appraiser.
THE responsibilities placed upon the
shoulders of the appraiser never were
so heavy A carelessly arrived at, un-
sound or even a dishonest valuation
in prosperous times is an unpleasant
incident quickly forgotten in the hustle
by all save the parties directly bene-
fitted or the parties Immediately in
jured. At this turning point in con-
ditions one ircompetently done job may
come in for such widespread attention
as to reawaken doubts CT property val
ues throughout city and ,unsettle an
entire local market.
The market value of business prop
erty, even under the new order, con-
tinues to revolve about such incon-
teStable proof as it can present of its
earning power. The prospective buyer
of today demands such proof and the
property owner can get it only through
a competent and honest appraisal. For
the protection of both buyer and seller
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards years ago adopted code
of ethics for the appraisal profession y
Price Basis Discredited.
The practice of basing an appraisal
primarily on the recent selling price of
adjacent properties becomes more in
defensible each year. the board says.
In residential sections the transfer
of ownership in one home to an un-
welcomed outsider may almost over
night cut the market value of adjoin-

PAINT COSTS HOLD

Home Owners Told Quick Ac.
ti0n Will Permit Benefits
of Lowest Prices.

The home owner who acts with
speed may give his domicile a little
first aid" at the last of depression
prices, according to officials of the
American paint, varnish and lacquer
industries.
The effect Of imitation, the recovery
drive and the administrations re-em-
ployment campaign already have made
themselves felt in sharp stiffening in
the prices of all commodities, and
notably in the cost of materials that
go into the care and repair of the home.
Despite this, however, Charles w.
Eastwood of Providence. R. l., chair
man of the Save-the-Surface Cam
paign, asserts that timely repairs and
a rejuvenating touch of paint still can
be administered at costs that are any
where from 20 to 80 per cent under
those of 1926, which are used by the
Federal Government as normal basis.
Saving Future Bills.
clares perform the added function of
saving the home owner bills in the
future. The exterior of the home, eX-
posed to all kinds of weather the year
round. is subjected to terrific annual
toll of depreciation at the hands of the
clements. Seasonal attention, necessary
repairs and constant care are essential
if the home owners investment is to
be preserved. or if his property value
is to be enhanced
At the first sign Of need. the entire
exterior of the frame house should be
painted. If, however. the home owner
is not in position to undertake such
a project it is wise to look for So
called danger signs-cracks or crevices
in the wood; peeling or blistering of
the surface, or deterioration which ad-
mits moisture-the forerunner of rust,
rot and decay
BY watching these danger points and
by being on hand with putty. brush
and paint to administer the remedy,
needless waste is avoided.

Unkindness to Children
Rv Videtta Ish

(For The Literary Service Bureau
Children are generous. They are
forgiving. They make up easily, in
their innocence. But they have queer
memories. They remember unkind-
ness toward them. Perhaps to never
forget such actions. A woman spoke
harshly to a little child Of three years
The child was hurt. After that, VII n
this woman desired to show kindness
the child rebuffed her. The number
Of such cases is legion.
Looking back I remember such
treatment, in a few instances. I have
forgiven. I bear no i'll will. I would
do a favor quickly for those people.
But I cannot forget. Mention Of their
names will bring memory Of the I'M
kindness shown and Of the hurt it
gave me. 1t might be well for older
people To look back. Perhaps If they
would look back and remember the
hurts they received, under such cir
cumstances, they would be more
cautious in dealing with children who

ation-and who may remember, as
We now remember.

HEROES UNSUNG
NIGHT WATCHMEN
BY A. B. Mann

while the city sleeps" policemen
make their rounds, protecting life
and property. Many of them are
loyal and faithful to their exacting
duties. They are in constant danger
as they patrol the streets. They
deserve great credit, for 0 them, ev-
cry hour is an hour of peril. But
they are no more deserving than
thousands of men who are known
simply as night-watchmen, and who
are as dependable and as loyal and as
necessary as those of the other class.
In large industrial plants, in banks
and in other such places where mill
lions Of dollars are stored, in public
buildings where millions Of the money
of taxpayers must be protected, these
faithful servants Of the people keep
their lonely and dangerous vigil
while the city sleeps" Often they
lose their lives as they seek to pro-
tect against burglars and bandits. 10

they are among the forgotten class;
they are poorly paid and little appre-
