names of grades. Another resolution asked tbat the matter of size, both 

 in width and thickness, l)e submitted to the engineering bureau of the 

 National association for its conclusions, with the request that it prepare

Fighting Tanks for Sale 

 An auction sale of thirty Hj;htins; tanks in England is advertised in the 

 lumber journals of that country, to be pulleil off soon. The tanks had active 

 service on the battle fronts and are the genuine article. The private indi- 

 vidual may not have much use for these tanks, but it is expected that 

 museums will buy them. However, the individual buyer sometimes has 

 strange ideas. Some years ago when the animals belonging to the Wood- 

 ward Gardens in .San Francisco were sold a countryman bought an old lion, 

 thinking it would come handy to kill tramps while stealing his fruit. Per- 

 haps somebody will buy the battle tanks for a similar purpose.

LOUISVILLE 



Car shortages are beginning to figure slightly into the movement of 

 lumber in the South, and a number of concerns are already kicking about 

 the poor condition of cars. During the past month the Louisville and 

 Nashville R. R. laid off several hundred shop men under orders of the 

 Railroad Administration, which ordered curtailment. This has resulted 

 in cars being in bad shape. It is rt^ported that the C. & O. Railroad 

 recently refused more than 1,500 foreign cars due to their bad condition.
