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.
A BEAUTIFUL CALENDAR.
The second of the new crop of calendars—for
1925—comes from the Jesse French & Sons Piano
Co., of Newcastle, Indiana. And it is a beautiful
souvenir. It is a large card with art color picture
entitled "The First Lesson," showing a young child
in mother's arms, at the piano. The picture is genu-
inely artistic. The calendar is a small pocket beneath
the picture, and the silken cord by which to hang
the picture is as dainty as the rest. Dealers in the
instrument from Newcastle will appreciate this beau-
tiful and seasonable gift.
BOOK ON MUSIC SELLS.
Music stores in many places report Dr. Sigmund
Spaeth's new book, "The Common Sense of Music,"
to be the best selling book on music produced this
year. The book interests laymen as well as profes-

IVORY TUSKS AND TEETH.
Certain terms are in use in the ivory trade. For
instance: Bangle tusks are tusks of which the hol-
lows are suitable for cutting bangles, which are
chiefly worn by natives in various parts of the world.
Billiard ball and bagatelle scrivilloes are small
"teeth," the measurements of which are suitable for
cutting the balls in question. The terms "tusks" and
"teeth" used above refer to the elephant tusks, al-
though in the trade the term "teeth" is used in cer-
tain cases. The real teeth of the elephant are de-
scribed by the trade as "grinders" and are, compara-
tively speaking, of little or no value. The tusks vary
in size from 2 pounds each to over 100 pounds each
and are usually packed in gunnies or cases, and are
not infrequently shipped loose with the address
painted on the tusk.
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
