Dirty Work Ai Th. Whit Hou.
No, this is not about the Reds,
but about another breed of
propagandist that has been us
ing the renewal of the White
House for dirty work. The bunk
that these babies have been
peddling, with many a Washing
ton correspondent and commen
tator swallowing the bait, is that
wood has failed in the structure
of the home of the presidents.
Even the standby bogey of ter
mites was brought into the story,
without any basis of fact what
ever. "Smtar wood" was the or
der of the day in a campaign to
demolish the historic building
which Is a symbol of great tradi
tions and of history's mightiest
events to the American people.
There was no conscience and no
patriotism In the proposal. All
that was considered was the op-
Eortunity afforded to deal lum
er as a competitive building
product, a body blow a body
blow below the belt.
But the lumber industry associ
ations have engineers of their
own, able at their profession and
willing to fight. They pitched in
and produced the facts of the
trouble in the innards of the
White House. They won support
from neutral engineers of high
est standing. Their good work
means more than can be meas
ured to every man who Is draw
ing a paycheck from the lumber
industry and is looking forward
to a future in it for his children.
These paychecks and futures
depend on continuing good mar
kets for wood.
The Real Story
The truth about the White
House and its need for renewal
was told in the November issue
of "Civil Engineering," by M.
E. Reynolds, commissioner of
Bublic buildings, Washington,
i. C., and members of the Soci
ety of Civil Engineers. The story
was simply told, so that even I
could understand most of It. It
Is a story of wood standing up
under well-nigh unimaginable
abuse.
"It la a tribute to the tough
ness of good timber that it has
successfully withstood such
abuse for so long," says Commis
sioner Reynolds.
Mr. Reynolds describes three
major operations on the White
House, beginning with the fire
let by the British in 1812, and

big repair and remodeling Jobs
of 1902 and 1927. In 1002, for
example, a brick bearing wall
that was a main support of the
second story was taken out and
10-inch steel beams were sub
stituted. The old wood girders
were ruinously notched at the
supporting ends to receive the
beams. This left about 5 inches
of the original 18-inch depth of
the girder timbers to carry the
load yes, 5 inches out of 18!
Can you Imagine it?
"How any timber could stand
up for 45 years under such treat
ment is hard to Imagine force
of habit, perhaps," says Engi
neer Reynolds. "No Indication of
decay was noted in the timbers
resting on the brick walls, nor
was there any structural evi
dence of termite Infestation."
The article by the commissioner
of public buildings in the na
tional capital gives examples
that might be made to cast dis
credit on materials that compete
with wood. The lumber industry
association engineers are not us
ing them as propaganda, how
ever. They are gentlemen and
scholars, only a little this side
of the angels.
Origin Of Wood Smearing
Seems to me I've mentioned
beore in this space how in 1926
I attended a New York gather
ing of newspaper and advertis
ing men and there heard the
story of how the foremost "pub
lic relations expert" of his day
had earned a fee that would
choke a sawmill hog by invent
ing the wood smear as an Instru
ment for wood's competitors.
It was a mixture.
One element was to propagan
dize buyers of wood with the
story that "the forests will soon
be gone, so switch to other prod
ucts now before you are forced
into it." Another was the termite
terror. Another was the fire fear.
Another: "Wood won't last."
There were numbers more.
In 1926 the advice of the pub
lic relations expert was working.
It still is. Despite the fact that
all the great losses of life and
property in recent years from
building fires have been in so
called fireproof buildings, the
fire fear propaganda is even
snaked into building codes. The
foresters of the lumber associa
tions have been kicking the
straw man of disappearing for
ests into flinders. Now the tim
ber engineers are fighting with
fist and boot against the other
slanders. Let's all help!
Person Who Is Afraid
Menially III, Scientist
By Paul F. Ellis
United Press Science Editor
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 30
A Yale university scientist said
todny that a person who is airaia
of fnllure and refuses to accept
Important responsibility prob
ably is mentally ill.
Dr. Leo W. Simmons, associate
professor of sociology, said a
person so "loaded down" with
ambitions that cannot be ful
filled is also in line to becom
ing a mental case. A third type.
he said, is the man with a fixed
Idea that interferes with his
rapacity to do the Jobs at hand.
Many Forms
"Mental illness takes many
forms," he said, "but wastage
of life and effort Is a common
characteristic.
"One of the very important
lessons that came out of the war
experience, is that most so-called
normal persons will tend to
break down under sufficiently I
severe nnd prolonged stress and
strains."
Simmons said there are some I
700,000 patients in the hospitals
who "arc suffering from mental
disease, mental defects or epil
epsy." "On any day a little over half
of all the hospital beds, public
and private, In this country are
filled with mental patients," he
st id. "It is estimated that at least
1,000,000 others are sick enough
to need hospital care. Experts
also clnim that probably 8.000,
000 more should be receiving
same psychiatric guidance and
treatment.'

lie said that 10.000 additional
trained psychiatrists are needed
in the country. Generally, he

Of Failure
Declares
said, psychiatrists' are out of
reach of many persons who need
I them. That is, they are located
in or near a few hospitals or
medical centers in large cities.
"During the war," he said,
"there was a necessary neglect
of routine care of mental cases,
and these have piled up. There
are large numbers of ex-service
men and women with 'unseen
war wounds' who are now men
tally or. emotionally disabled.
There are more than a million
chronic alcoholics, some devel
oping within a setting of war
stress."
. The "miracle drugs" are con
tributing indirectly to the in
creasing number of mental cases,
he said. The drugs are keeping
alive more disabled persons who
because of their longer life "will
develop mental and emotional
problems and need expert care."

Rough road conditions call for special attention to
your lubricants. Tires should be checked for correct
inflation for deep, clean tread that bites on a
slick surface. Brakes won't stop you with a sure
and gentle touch if the master cylinder needs more
fluid, or if an air-bubble has worked itself into the
line. These things, and more, should be checked to
keep your Buick at its best.
If that sounds like more than one thought to bear
in mind just drive into our shop and tell the man,
"LVBRICARE, please."
Our winter Lubricare treatment covers all these points
with specially trained mechanics following factory
specifications as they go over your car from end to end.
Drive in this week, why don't you? The price is sur
