Cabeen, writing in the Chicago Tribune, says: “A cancellation is a postal mark intended to render a stamp unfit for further postal use, but the word is somewhat confused with postmark, and collectors therefore sometimes call the cancellation an|Miss Eula obliteration or more concisely a ‘killer.” In the early days foreign countries us- ually followed some orderly method of cancelling stamps so that it was pos- sible to tell, without seeing the town- mark, where the letter originated. Norway, Denmark, France, Great Brit- ain and many others have assigned a is usually impressed squarely on the stamp. “The United States had no system in its early cancellations, and at the introduction of stamps the postmasters were forced to use whatever was at hand. These include many marks which were applied to ‘pre-stamp’ covers, such as ‘free’ or ‘paid’ and rate marks such as 3, 5, 6, etc., which were useful when no stamps were af- fixed .but meaningless on letters bear- ing stamps. “After several vears the use of such markings ceased and a new series be- gan in which the postmaster purchased | boxwood dies or used his jacknife on he ink bottle cork. There were almost s many varieties of these as there were post offices, and some ambitious postmasters cut special designs for the various halidays. or designs to show their lodge affiliations, and some just ! cut seemingly to test the imagination of modern collectors. “Uniform hand-stamps were grad- ually issued to postmasters, so that by | 1880 the use of the homemade de-| vices had almost ceased, and in the| next decade the introduction of ma- | chine cancellation still further cut: down their use, but even today an oc- have been in continual though infre- Civil War. % | “These cancellations are generally col- lected on covers wher> possible, but! are equally desirable on the stamp alone | where there is enough of the design to be distinct.” In 1927 the government of Siam ai thorized” a surcharge on_the airmail | stamps of the 1925 issue.

The elebration was to be in honor of the fteenth anniversary of the coronaticn of King Vajiravudh. but the sovereign’s death prevented the event from taking place.
