Harding. Sccond Assistant Postmaster General W. Irving Glover yesterday said that a stamp in tribute to Mr. Coolidge prob- ably will be recommended by the de- | partment.

These derive their name from the ‘lettres de cachet’ of France, letters signed by the King and closed with the royal seal. But the term cachet now refers to an imprint on the envelope, usually of no official signifi- cance but often representing some pa- triotic society or other organization. Their value to the collector depen: considerably on who issues them. so that an individual’s cachet is not likely to be so highly regarded as one which is put out by a recognized organization. All the factors that make a postage stamp desirable are accredited to cachets, and a collection of them has some of the educational value of a good assortment of postage stamps. “Almost anything, of course, may be- come a collector's prize, provided it is not easily duplicated and has some sort of associations apart from its spe- cific purpose. The tage stamp, per- haps, is the ideal collectors’ item, whether for the beginner or the ad- vanced amateur or professional. And from the fascination of the stamp al bum there is derived the curious sids line of cachet-collecting, an uncontem- plated consequence of a custom in old France whereby the messages of a King were identified.” SLAYER TO MARRY ON LEAVING PRISON War Veteran's Sentence Cut Fol- lowing His Release From Insane Ward.

By the Assoclated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, January §.— Suit was filed in Chancery Court yes- terday by United States Senator Dan- fel O. Hastings, ds receiver of General Theatres Equipment, Inc., against Wil liam Fox and All Continent Corpora- tion, seeking cancellation of $2,300,000 of notes of General Theatres held by All Continent. The bill of complaint stated that in April, 1930, General Theatres agreed to give Fox a participation to the extent of 10 per cent in any purchase by Gen- eral Theatres of stock of Fox Film Cor~ poration, and that the concern would use its best efforts to increase Fox's in- terest up to an additional 10 per cent. ‘The same month, the bill stated, General Theatres acquired 1,600,000 shares of Fox Film Class A stock. Fox, it was explained in the bill, claimed to be entitled to 20 per cent of this block of stock at $30, the price paid by Gen- | eral Theatres. After the suit was filed an order was issued by Chancellor Wolcott restrain- ing All Continent from disposing of the notes of General Theatires, the stock formerly held by All Continent as col- lateral for the notes and also from at- { tempting to enforce the notes. An application was made on behalf of the receiver for a temporary injunc- tion and the chancellor ordered that this application be heard on February 3.
