WASHBURN MANDOLIN BOOK
In It Lyon & Healy Tells Young People Mandolin
Is Easy to Play.
The new Washburn mandolin book "Be Popular" is
a striking contribution to current advertising litera-
ture. It is issued by Lyon & Healy in the interest of
the Washburn mandolin in particular, and all plec-
trum instruments in general.
It makes its appeal through urging young people to
study music.
The book is filled with illustrations, some of them
technical, and it will undoubtedly be a great sales
help in the hands of the trade.
Lyon & Healy is granting exclusive Washburn
agencies under their new plan, and the franchise is
being much sought.

Ne Species of Wood Free from Blemishes, According
to Government Experts.
The Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis.,
says no tree produces lumber that is entirely free
from defects and blemishes. The same irregularities
in the wood, natural and accidental, are likely to occur
in all species; and in all woods used for the same
purpose the effect of a certain defect on the strength
and quality is about the same, according to the Forest
Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis. The keen
judges of lumber in piano factories are also familiar
with the admirable and undesirable features of the
stock they buy.
According to the laboratory report, knots are prob-
ably the most common of the natural defects in lum-
ber. Most branches of forest-grown trees originate
at the center of the trunk and grow in diameter and
length so long as conditions are favorable.
All trees do not have pitch streaks or pitch pockets,
but such blemishes are found in the majority of soft-
woods. The amount of pitch often varies as much
within a species as it does between species. A typical
pitch pocket in southern yellow pine may be shorter
and wider than one in Douglas fir, but if they are
equal in area they are practically equivalent in dam-
aging effect. The same kind of glemish-producing
accidents happen to all kinds of wood.
