WASHINGTON, D. C.—Production,
shipments, and current orders (new
business) of lumber for the week
ending August 2, show an increase
over the preceding week, particularly
in shipments and orders, say tele
graphic reports to the National Lum
ber Manufacturers Association, from
354 of the larger commercial sawmills
of the country, although the totals
for the first thirty-one weeks in 1924
do not yet come up to tho record
breaking figures for the corresponding
period of 3923.
Figures for July (five weeks end
ing August 2) show for the first time
since January shipments and orders
above production. August usually is
the second highest month of the year
in production and shipments.
For the week ending August 2nd
there was a substantial increase in
new business over the corresponding
week of 1923 equalling almost 20 per
rent, while shipments were slightly
more and production appreciably less.

CALIFORNIA REPORTS
NOT COMPARABLE.
The mills of the California White
and Sugar Pine Association make
weekly reports but they are not com
parable in respect to orders with
those of other mills. Consequently,
the former are not represented in any
of the foregoing figures. Eleven of
these mills reported a cut of 9.942.000
set last week, shipments 7,954,000. and
orders 8.201.000. The reported cut
represents 22 per cent of the total of
the California pine region.
The West Coast Lumbermen's As
sooiation wires from Seattle that new
business for the 114 mills reporting
for the week ending August 2 was
28 per cent above production, while
shipments offset new business. Of

, SELF-DRIVING
Source of Much Satisfaction
to Motorists
There's a whale of a lot of sat
isfaction in driving a car one's self,
even if you do have to pay a rental
for it. Taxicab riding is expensive
and then, too, there is not the feel
ing of independence as to waits
and delays from any cause which
comes of driving the car yourself.
Automobile riding, when the
renter drives the car himself, is a
healthful pastime and the cost is
seasonable. Next time you want to
go anywhere, call phone 1238. That's
