The importation of ply wood and veneer is increas-
ing in England, but practically none is coming from
the United States, as the Baltic product is being
quoted at a lower price. On the other hand, a sale
of gaboon mahogany of French production was re-
cently made for shipment to the United States by a
London broker. The British use of ply wood is
growing.
During the first four months of 1923 exports of
veneer and ply wood leaving Finland amounted to
19,337,819 pounds, compared with 11,281,809 pounds
in the corresponding period of 1922.

Many failures in glued-up wood are caused by
"starved" joints, or joints in which the film of glue
between the wood surfaces is not continuous. Such
joints, according to the Forest Products Laboratory,
Madison, Wis., are not necessarily the result of a
lack of glue spread on the wood; heavy spreads are
as likely to produce them under ordinary commercial
conditions as light spreads. They are caused rather
by the application of pressure to the joint while the
glue is too fluid.
Starved joints are more likely to occur with glues
