Murray Bartels, writing in Stamps, | says: “Unquestionably there has been | a revival in the interest in United States | postal cards. Less than 50 varieties constitute the complete set, and none | of them is very difficult to obtain. “If we disregard one or two water- marks, undoubtedly the rarest United States card is the McKinley 1-cent black with full face portrait. This card is known in several essays with slight | variations in the features of the mar- tyred President, but none of these was considered a satisfactory likeness, and | all were officially rejected. i ‘Just one box of 500 were sold at the | New York post office.” Of this lot, 312 were used. Mr. Bartels’ firm in 1902 bought all that could be recovered. Presumably, since | that date they have been distributed among collectors 'hrouch‘he ordinary commercial channels. The following philatelic riddle is sub- mitted to readers of The Star: His portrait appears on a series of African stamps. He was born a British subject, served as a soldier in the Con- federate Army, as a sailor in the United States Navy and as a_war correspond- ent in Abyssinia, found “the most cele- brated lost man in the world” and ac- | complished “the greatest news beat of | the age,” was a member of Parliament | and the author of five or six “best sell- | ers.” To the end of his life he affected an alias. What was his real name? Authorities say that prices of philatelic materal soon will rise. The depression, | outside New York, has had little adverse effect upon philatelic sales. Harry B. Mason, Washington dealer, says: “Itis | remarkable, but it is true that hard times have not brought many good col- lections into the market. A few amateur albums have been offered, but serious collectors have not been willing to sac- rifice their prized specimens. Normally. it might be supposed that the slump would force action; actually, the con- trary appears to be the case. Stamp prices have not fallen since 1928, gnd T expect that they will rise with the return of prosperity. The fortunate people will be those who buy before the boom.” Mr. Mason, it is worthy of mention, has a new collector in his family—his infant grandson, Richard Buffum Rynex, born April 1. The children of the John Quincy Adams School Stamp Club have in- vited President Franklin D. Roosevelt to visit their philatelic exhibit, to be held as part of the annual demonstration of school work, June 5-7. -The club has approximately 65 members, and about 24 of the total roster will display ex- amples of their best specimens. Mrs Dorothy Rus is faculty adviser. The Washington branch of the So- ciety of Philatelic Americans will meet Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at 1214 Twenty-fourth street, The session wil be devoted to trading and to a discus- sion of a possible changze of name.

There was a large at- tendance of members and visitors The Washington Philatelic Soclety will meet Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at the Carlton Hotel, Sixteenth street. An auction sale will be held, and the public is invited. The editor of this department of The Star is in receipt of many appeals for stamps. They come flom veterans in Government hospitals, other shut-ins and children. If readers would care to help in what appears to be a legitimate and worthwhile philatelic philanthrop: their contributions of duplicate speci- mens, sent to The Star, Stamp Depart- ment, will be forwarded to the appli- cants indicated. | { STEAMSHIPS. “When planning your va the “Merchants ¥ Miner: 933—PART TWO.
