DRY ROT Of all kinds of rot which destroys ' timber,' that called dry rot Is the most insidious and develops with the greatest rapidity, according to C. J. Humphreys, pathologist of the U. 8., Forest Products Laboratory, which, is directing attention to the Importance of decay prevention as a part of its activities during Am erican forest week, April 27 to May 8. In adiscusslng dry rot Dr. Hum phreys says: "Dry rot is an indoor fungus pri marily. Once If gains entrance into a building, within a single year the floor and lowed portions of the walls may become a crumbling mass of wood unfit for further service. In sheds for the storage of lumber dry rot developing in the floors will pread rapidly into any materials In contact. "None of the common woods of the ' United States are Immune to dry Tot; even heart cypress and oak crumble to dust under its ac tion, sometime within? six months. Tarred roofing and building papers also fall a ready prey, and even mineral shingles composed of cement and asbestos have, been known to warp and discolor when in contact with dry-rotting wood. "The dry rot fungi gain their same and their distinction from the fact that they are frequently found in wood far from any apparent mois ture supply. In reality they do not grow without moisture and are as powerless as any other fungus to Infect thoroughly dry 'wood. Given moist wood in which to start, they are able to make their way a sur prisingly long distance in dry tim bers, drawing the water they need from the moist wood or Boll through a conduit system of root-like strands One of the most dangerous of the dry. rot fungi sometimes produces water conducting strands the size of one's wrl3t. These could be eas ily be mistaken fro root or vine growths. They originate at the ground and grow upwards into the first floor suports, conducting mois ture to the wood as they grow and spread. Tiny fungous threads then thoroughly permeate the moistened wood and soon utterly destroy It. "Dry rot Infections are hard to radlcato from a building on ac count of their Insldlousness and the large areas munly -Involved,- Very . often ' the tugus extends up Insldo the walls and attacks doors and win-J dbw frames at wqll as studding and xvk t s fc sx s I (Hi '. ,: , f " Maria Esther Pomar, one of Mexico's prettiest -fcomic acuvsses, is plan- . . -: . i ...... , ulI I - ihnwn li,n U'Mirinu & in ine uiuieu otun-a ht trimmed in whit other timber". Sometimes the sec ond story is reached. In lumber sheds the fungus frequently runs up t'.ie posts and spreads from these to lumber piled In conact. 'The thing to do In case of cay dry rot outbreak Is to make, a care ful examination of the premises and remove every trace o( the fungus or the decayed wood. The damaged parts muct then be replaced, pre ferably with timber wbcih has been treated with a good wood preserva tive. If the soil beneath tbe build ing, or tbe foundation wall, appear to be overgrown with t'oe fungus, a sprinkling with some fungicide solu tion such as coal tar creosote, car- bolinium, zinc chloride, or sodium fluride Is advisable. If earlier de fects in construction- are then cor rected, such as insufficient venti lation, contact, between timber and ground, leaky roofs, poor plumbing, and any other factors which permit to become wet, the householder need have little tear of further infection. 'Every step in tbe eradication must be thorough and careful, how ever, for traces of the fungus left in any portion of the building where - thetlmbers are moist will continue to develop and spread to new timbers, and eventually cause furaher trouble. This precaution is particularly important, for the dry rot fungi during their development will have carried many gallons of water upward into the building and wetted many of the timbers so they are soaked and dripping, and hence susceptible to further infection." DOWN FROM ALGOMA Earl Pearson, principal of the Algoma school, has been visiting with his father, A. G. Pearson, of the Sixth Street Lumber company the past few days while he has been convalescing from an attack of in fluenza. As soon as school is out Pearson will join the office force of tho Sixth Street company. OREGON BHIPPI.N'Q Flit LATH TO FJOKIDA An o:dtr has been placed in Port land f:r 11 million pieces of green lflr lath for delivery In Florida. This order came as a direct result of the he Timbcrman's port promotion campaign outlining the possibilities 'of Savannah, Ga., as a lumber im porting port. The Inquiry was giv en to a manufacturer and referred to his wholesale connection handling intercostal business. The Timber man Is receiving a very marked response to Us campaign in present ing the facilities offered by Pacific Coa3t lumber ports to Atlantic and Gulf coast importers. Both dis tricts require this helpful Informa tion. There is a growing domand for fir and pine shop In Georgia and Florida. As the Sjuth increas es in population It will utilize larger quantities of.

The 4L survey whi:h for tha greater part was compied from fig ures supplied directly by individual operators, has- been published in booklet form. It gives outputa of 300 majc? logging operators, in Oregon and Washington, names of managers and superintendents, and addresses of both camps and offices. In addition the directory contains n list of 310 sawmills of 'Oregon, Washington and Idaho and their in dividual cuts for 1924.

ROMANCE The car was parked on tho west side of Klamath Lake. A fnlnt breeze was sighing through the pines; tho rising moon throw a wavy path of silver across the bosom of tho lake. A sense of unity, of one- ness, each with the other, nnd with the mysterious night hold them enthralled. For a long 4 time there was no sound but tho faint slnp of tho waves on the sandy beach, tho breeze through tho pines. Finally sho stirred faintly against his shoulder, and turned her faco 4 4 up to him. She was exquisite- ly dolicate, fraglly beautiful In the half light.
