Every group declared itself for re-
tention of the code, but the West Coast
division was divided on the practibil-
ity of enforcing price control.
j. H. Bloedel Of Bellingham, Wash,
speaking for one faction, asserted that
even with such minimum price en-
forcement as now is possible the in
dustry was better off than before the
code became effective. He pointed out
that in February, 1888, which marked
the bottom for the industry, they were
getting only 5000 a thousand feet,
while the current price is SIT and the
industry is able to pay within S per
cent of the wages prevalent in 1929

Withdrawal of those provisions
which tend to regulate prices would

PARIS STYLES
United Press Stan Correspondent,
By MARY KNIGH1

United Press Stan CorreshOndcnt)
 Paris (UP)-It is not unusual to see the smart set here wearing two evening coats at once. One for warmth and one for effect. Feathers and fur are the most popular combination
 A big fur coat almost is a necessity for the completely decel- lete evening gown, and when this Is removed it Is almost obligatory to have some little whim of cape, or jacket, and what more delight ful than a brief and fluttery cape of ostrich feathers?
 A combination of this type seen recently at the fashionable Circle Interalie that made you think of pale roses cast upon the snow was a white satin evening gown. very low in cut, both back and front, over which was an elbow length cape of pale pink half curled ostrich featherers. over this came a gorgeous full-length coat of peerless ermine! The pink feathers trailed slightly over the ermine at the neck--and the lady wearing this outfit had absolutely snow-white hair and the face of a young girl of twenty-three.
 Another popular combination is fur and spangles, the spangled collar of the cape of jacket worn under the fur coat coming outside as though it were the collar of the coat.
 In fact, the only people who do not wear the accessory jacket or cape are those whose shoulders are moulded so perfectly that it were a shame to hide them from the public. In all smart gatherings there may be five such lucky wo- men.

Old Paper Drive

Is there not a menace to the health of school children who are sent around gathering up old news papers and magazines to raise money for child welfare programs? Could not meningitis or infantile paralysis spread by that means?

Had she ever tried aquaplaning? No. Well then, he would teach her. It was really great sport.
 He showed her how to climb upon the board. On her knees, and then put up one foot and then the other. How to brace her feet firmly on the rubber treads and to sway lightly, rhythmically with the mo- tion of the boat. Tenseness was fatal.
 And presently Ann, balanced on the board, was flying along behind the boat. Not too swift pace at first, as Peter turned to watch her progress.
 Ann looked like a picture, he thought. All in white, with the spray from the boat splashing over her.
 There were several spills. Then Peter would turn the boat around and the lesson would begin again. Ann was thrilled, unafraid. Peter marveled at her fearlessness and proficiency. She was getting the hang of the thing.
 Faster, Peter!"
 All right then. He speeded the boat up. It shot across the water like a brilliant orange streak.
 And then, looking back, he saw the board bobbing along without Ann. And very far away it seemed to him during that moment of sus- pense blot of white on the wa ter. It was there one minute and then it disappeared.
 
 Peter let the motor out to the last notch, roaring across the wa ter toward the spot where he had seen the blot of white. It had appeared again and Ann was swim ming toward him weakly. He hauled her over the side of the boat and into his arms. Lord, Ann. You frightened me-" T fell> off when you turned" Ann explained when she had re- covered her breath. 1T went under

Young boys take great deal of pride in their haberdashery, and handsome ties, good looking shirts. socks, gloves and mufflers mean more to them than to older men. Evening scarfs of challis are new CT than silk ones.
 Studs, cuff links and collar but tons are sure to please the young man who has just bought his first suit of dress clothes. If he has more than a penchant for athletics than parties, he'd appreciate a sea- son ticket to a swimming pool CT a gymnasium.

 An old rhyme chants: "At Christmas play and make good
 cheer
 For Christmas comes but once
 year."
 Another:
 "For Christmas comes but once < year And then they shall be merry
 Another vresion is
 "For Christmas comes but wanst And when it come it brings good
 cheer, And when it goes 1t leaves us here. And what'll we do for the ros O
 the year?"
 When we begin to feel guilty about buying the children toys to hang on the tree instead of stock ings and underwear, such little lines may help to ease our con- Nscience.
 The good ladies who packed boxes at Christmas to send off to the orphans and the little desti- tutes of the world used to declare that any foolishness at such at time was wasteful. Into these substantial messages of good will went wearing apparel only. Little red mittens were the piece de resistance usually. Red being the concession-the one link between the gay and the useful. Today things have changed. Christmas boxes include toys. In- deed if anything is to be left out. quite often 1t is the mittens and the stockings themselves. All of which shows the spirit hunger of the child to play is con sidered as soberly as his physical needs.
 once, some years ago, I saw a woman sulk the entire week be- fore the holiday because she want ed emerald earrings, and her hus- band assured her they were i'm! possible.
 She went about her shopping and decorating, irritation written on every feature. The children avoided her temper and the bitter clashes vGth her husband. All their grand toys meant little. The peace and happiness of that house. hold was spoiled. "Christmas comes but once a year." A bit foolish, bit gay, not too sensible and not at all gloomy. It is one recipe that, is improved by the leave-outs rather than the put-ins.
 Certainly the child whose birth day it is would feel that all was l in vain if in celebrating it we dou- bled the worry and responsibility of humankind. Let us light the candles as long as possible before Christmas and try to emulate their mysterious. peaceful but gay burning And | lift our eyes to the Shrine they . glorify.

Flour made by boiling peanut kernels for half an hour in water containing some vinegar or tartaric acid driyng and then rolling into flour with rolling pin, is excellent food either as porridge with milk, or baked in the form of bread, biscuits or pancakes.
 Peanut butter may be freely used instead of ordinary butter on bread, if children like it.
 Salted peanuts are not so good. Most of us take too much salt in or on our ordinary food.
 Some whole or unbroken peanut kernels may be advantageously added to various salads.
