BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Second Assistant Postmaster General W. W. Howes has made the follor announcement: “There will be for dispatch by the return flight of the Italian air cruise from Chicago to New York, unregistered letters addressed for delivery in this country weighing not over one-half ounce each, which are prepaid at the rate of $1.70 for each letter. “This rate includes the postage and the fee for air dispatch and must be fully prepaid by means of United States stamps affixed to each letter. “A small Government stamped en- velope weighs a little over three grams, and Iif these or similar envelopes are used, if a small sheet of thin paper is used for any message desired to be sent the weight gan be kept near five grams. It will be abpreciated if senders will co- operate in this way. “Letters for this dispatch which are addressed for delivery in this country must show, in the upper left-hand corner, the return card of the sender, that is, his name and complete ad- dress, and be marked diagonally across the envelope between the address and the return card as follows: ‘By Italian air cruise to New York,’ and be mailed in regular course under an outer en- velope to the postmaster at Chicago to be held pending the departure of the planes on flight to New York. “A special cachet will be furnished the postmaster at Chicago for use on | the letters sent by this flight from | Chicago to New York, and the letters will be backstamped at New York after | being put off the planes. | “If the return flight should not be made the letters sent to the postmaster at Chicago will be returned to the senders.” The 2-cent local rate on first-class mail, announced several weeks ago by Postmaster General James A. went into effect yesterday. The non- | local 3-cent rate remains. Collectors | will wish to preserve covers showing the cancellations of first-day local use. | ‘The rem&n ort the old standard local postage rates, of course, means a great increase in demand for 2-cent stamps. It is estimated that 7,000,000,000 letters will pass through the mails dur: the current-month bearing adhesives of that denomination. The 2-cent Arbor Day stamp is being used to meet the require- ment, and the 2-cent George Washing- ton Bicentennial issue also will re. But apparently the commones 2-cent stamp in the immediate future will be the old 1923 variety of the 2-cent first President type. Presses at the Bu- Teau of Engraving and Prinitng are turning these out day and night. F. LeJ. Parker, acting chief, Bureau of Insular Affairs, War De; ent, on Tuesday last issued the following state- ment: “On July 1, 1933, the philatelic office of this bureau will be ntin- | ued, and no further orders for Philip- pine stamps will be accepted. The sale of Philippine postage stamps in the United States on and after July 1 will be conducted by the Philippine trade commissioner, 928, Barr Building, 910 Seventeenth street north. west, Washington, D. C., to whom fu- ture orders should be sent.” | Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder, Chi- | cago, reports that first-day sales of the Century of Progress commemora- | tive stamps, May 25, reached the total | N of 2425900 for the 3-cent value and 1,586,409 for the 1-cent. First-day covers mailed numbered 232,251. Altogether, the Post Office Depart- ment did about $88,000 worth of phila- telic business at Chicago on the first | day of sale and about $32,000 worth on_the g:md day. Post, office arrangements for the rush of business have been ecriticized by some collectors. It has been said that | the fault was due to the fact that the| local post office was obliged to call in | extra help, unfamiliar with the best routine methods for philatelic service. In the future all such events, it is hoped, may be left to the Philatelic, Agency to supervise. ‘There was far less confusion at Yorktown and at New- burgh than there was at Chicago, and the agency system, is would seem, is demonstrably the best. ‘The 1-cent Century of Progress| stamp, plate 21133, shows cracks in the | upper and lower right penes. But | sheets are avaflable in which the vari- | ations do not appear. This fact, of | course, lends added zest to the search | _STAMP DEALERS. _ ‘ H. A. ROBINETTE Dealing |n‘ |ll|n%| 30 years.

Haitl's special hero is Toussajnt L'Ouverture, leader in the nation's struggle for independence and founder | of the republic. He appears on the 1904 stamps of the country he did so much to establish. A great military genius, according to competent judges, he was one of the few men who ever had the privilege of defeating Na- poleon Bonaparte. But in the end he was _captured by treachery and died in a French prison. The story of his career is eminently worth reading. Christopher Columbus has been com- memorated on the stamps of many | countries, but it remained for Chile, a | country "whose territory the admiral | never saw, to pay him the greatest philatelic honors. From 1853 until 1903 he was the only person pictured on Chilean stamps. Edward M. Allen, writing in “Amer- ica’s Story as Told in Postage Stamps,” says: “Wherever letters go, | postage stamps go also. Therefore, the little colored bits of paper which adorn the letters are designed to serve a double purpose, and this purpose is to tell the whole world about the people and the nation from whence they ccme.” ‘Thomas William Churchill, former York City, is quoted as having told a | philatelic” gathering: “I have always | respected men with hobbies. Hobbies have saved many a business man by keeping him sane. Indeed, I doubt whether any one who is sane has not some hobby.” John R. Wulf, Chicago collector, an- nounces the discovery of an albino en- velope of the 3-cent Mount Vernon va- riety. The embossed design appears, but there is no color.

And the American collector ! and apparently pays willingly. . ., . ‘One of the best posted stamp men in the country estimates that American | collectors pay annually over $50,000 | (surtax alone, not including postage !rates) for semi-postal or charity stamps.” Clayton W. Bedford, well-known Akron, Ohio, Collector, died June 19. He was a chemist employed in the Te- search laboratories of the B. F.

Her eyes quelled his. Yet there was no rea- son that I could see for Mme. Lov- schiems suddenly championing me. Moreover, I didn't know that I wanted her championship. In the first place, if I let her do as she proposed there was no danger of the girl or me being accused of murder. At the same time, if the truth eventually came out, as it readily might, lhxg! would look much blacker for us. d I should give the Lovschiems & most de- testable hold over me. “No,” I said. “We'll call the police and let them know the whole thing, dagger and all. I didn't kill him. I'm not afraid.” She stopped and looked at me in- credulously. I saw then that her eyes were green, limpid and clear, and yet with that look of secret reflection that a cat’s have. “Not afraid?” she sald rather softly. “American, aren't you? Not bad-look- ing, either. own way, I suppose, with men- women?” “You are too kind, madame. You'll leave the dagger exactly as it is, please, and your husband and I will wait to- gether while you phone for the police.’ “I'll do nothing of the kind,” she said and turned to the bath room, but I caught her wrist and led her back to the dead man. She did not protest or even pull back when I told her to place the dagger on the dead man’s chest, but 1 did not release her wrist until she had done s0, and her eyes shone like & cat's when the light strikes them. She said nothing to me, however. She gave her husband a glance of scorn and fury, but said in a smooth voice that was under perfect control that, since Mr. Sundean so wished, they might as well call the police. “Very well,” said Lovschiem slug- gishly, as if his thoughts were sunk in | some dark mire. “Call them. She looked at him again in a kind of impatient scorn, shrugged lightly, and | 'n glanced all about. "Father Robart!” she said suddenly. “Of course. Father Robart. I'll get him at once. This—this dead man must have prayers immediately. A violent death, without absolution. Besides, it is inot bad to give & more pious atmos- phere, eh?” The fringes of her yellow scarf swirled and vanished in the gloom of the long corridor. ~ Shadows followed her, and the wind whispered, and the whisper rose to a gust, and the whole place rattled like a dead man’s dry bones. I said to myself: It's a nightmare. I'll shut my eyes and then open them and look directly at the mantel clock. The sword will still be there, and it will all have been a dream. The clock sword was, of course, not on the mantel; it was lying bloodstained there below me, and the dead man's face was real enough. Lovschiem was standing quietly beside me, his gaze, too, upon the dead man, he said. “I now, for he was still sunk deep in his thoughts and looked more troubled and perplexed than he looked frightened. 1 thought of Sue as I waited, of the story she had told of her abduction— enough about the event. wanted me to look for her abductor, or to tell either the police or the Lov- schiems. It was all full of holes, and yet I be- lieved it. it had been having her by my fireside had said it would be. ‘While I was gone a murder had been done, and the sword from the big clock, which she had had in her hand a few minutes before, was in the breast of the murdered man. It seemed ridicu- lous—but I still believed her. Perhaps this lumpish, grotesque thing at our feet had been pursuing her, and she had snatched the sword and struck at_him, and then run away. I was about to say something to Lov- schiem, anything to break the silence in that narrow passage, when we heard 8 sound down the corridor and Mme. Lovschiem’s yellow shawl emerged, fol- lowed by the black skirts of the priest. Mme. Lovschiem led the priest di- rectly to the man at our feet. We both moved back a little when the priest's red beard boomed up into the light. He bent over, as we all had, and stared at the dead man. But he looked puz- zled and clumsy and did not seem to know exactly what Mme. Lovschiem expected of him. He got down, how- ever, on his knees and got out his crucifix and rosary and began passing his fingers over the beads. T couldn’t see his face, only his bent head and rather thin and narrow shoulders in their tightly buttoned sou- tane, and his feet, which projected from the black folds of the skirt of the garment he wore and looked very large. He was _younger than he had seemed on my first glimpse of him; there was an unwrinkled look about the back of his neck, there seemed to be no gray in his mouse-colored hair, and his figure was rather lean. It was strange, I thought, that he was wearing American-made shoes. It was 50 strange that I looked closely t_the soles and heels and stit 3 TRIPS YOU STOP IN our Tnvelhfumn :f:ll.l‘fit us tell bor e: -expense you about the wonde Tours to New ...Cs +..Nova Scotia ... and Florida.

He was mumbling then, and Lov- schiem was staring blankly across the shadow-swept court, and madame was looking very devout except for her eyes, which were shining and were looking at me with an expression that came very close to a kind of wicked amusement. The priest kept on muttering. To my approval he had asked no questions about the murder, which was self-evi- dent, to be sure; and he offered no churchly nitions or advice. It oc- curred to me that he might be, in his uth, a little uncertain in what was hl.lxue_‘ly an unprecedented experience with Lovschiem drew back a little, and madame and I moved also.

Naval Reserve Jubilant over the receipt of orders from the Navy Department providing for their annual training cruises, the first in two years, officers and men of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the District of Co- lumbia, are proceeding with prepara- tions, which were suspended several weeks ago, when the department not only halted all drills with pay, but an- nounced that there would be no funds with which to hold the annual cruises. Despite the withdrawal of drill pay and without the inducement of an an- nual cruise, the members of the local battalion continued to attend their | weekly drills, which indicated that they were interested primarily in their training and not the small amount of money which is paid them for the weekly drills. However, they have something to| look forward to now. When the an- nual cruises are completed it is pos- sible that drill pay also will be pro- vided, especially in view of the fact | that drills will be provided for the ::uoml Guard. The Naval Reservists ve the way of funds for training, they would receive proportionately as much. The department has provided for the tAaining, with pay, of 9,411 officers and enlisted men of the Fleet Reserve. Au- thorization has also been given for two weeks' training for 250 officers and 372 enlisted men of the Naval Avia- tion Reserve at the various Naval Re- serve air bases throughout the country. The schedules for the divisions in the Boston, New_ York, Philadelphia, Great Lakes and District of Columbia naval areas have been approved, while those for the cruises from ports on the West Coast have not been completed. As usual, the United States destroyer Hamilton, Atlantic Training Fleet ship assigned to this area, will cruise the divisions in the Washington and Nor- folk naval districts. Whereas hereto- fore there have been three cruises, one for each division of the local Reserve Battalion, there will be only two this year. In the past usually one division from Baltimore and one from this city went on the cruises together. But this year two divisions of the local bat- will go on one cruise, and the third division and a division from Richmond will make the second cruise together. As yet there have been no destina- tions announced for the liberty ports for the various cruises, but it is prob- able that the ship will steam in the Atlantic in the vicinity of New England. However, with economy as the prime consideration, and particularly in the expenditure of fuel for steaming, the vessel may remain in the Chesapeake Bay and in the Atlantic Ocean in vicinity of the Virginia capes. The first and second divisions of the local Reserve will begin their annual | cruises on September 2 here, end- ing here on September 15. The third division will embark here on September 16. This division will cruise with the ile, including & visit to the Chicago | Richmond outfit, and according to the ;fl', :nd further visits in the Central |schedule the latter wili board the de- stroyer in this city at the beginning of the cruise and will be disembarked | here at the conclusion of the training period. As the complete cruising schedule of the Hamilton has not been €Smpleted, it is not known just where she will go, or whether or not target practice will be held this year as has been the prac- tice in the past. The local Reserve gunners have not received any firing training since the last annual cruises two years ago, and their practice has been confined wholly to work with tne drill gun and the fire control system in the local armory. The coming cruises, ! target practice is held, will give a Teal test as to whether the cutting out of the annual cruises has had any serious effect upon the training of the organizations as 8 whole. The officers and men are said to be enthusiastic about the new launch which has been sent here. It has many comforts which the old vessel did not have and Chief Boatswain's Mate Joseph Slattery is making many im- provements on it. At the present time he is engaged in constructing a mast, so that the men can be trained in visual signed to duty in the section of rifie | signaling while out on the cruise.
