STANDARDIZING LUMBER.
Every buyer of piano factory supplies, and that im-
plies piano dealers also, is interested in the movement
for standardizing lumber. But, while permitting the
buyers' freedom to feel interest in the question, the
lumber industry seems indisposed to include outsiders
in the settlement of the standardizing problem.
Standardization of sizes and simplification of grades
is admitted by most all engaged in any branch of
the industry to be one of the most important move-
ments of the time. Long custom has developed many
sizes and many grades in the manufactured products
of the log. In certain sections the trade uses and
demands certain sizes and certain grades. In the
lumber industry, like in any other industry, the real
aim of the lumbermen, whether they be manufactur-
ers, wholesalers, or dealers, always has been to per-
form a real service, and that service has been to be
able to meet the requirements of trade.

The last dinner for the season of the Boston Music
Publishers' Association was held recently at the
Parker House with the new president, W. Diane
Preston, Jr., as the presiding officer, and radio broad-
casting came in for considerable attention. This
was considered by Mr. Preston to be a very big
problem, and he referred to the serious attention that
has been given the matter by the Society of Com-
posers, Authors and Publishers and of the attitude
taken by five broadcasting stations relative to
royalties.
