The Washington Chapter of the Society of Colonial Wars, at its an- nual meeting at the Hotel Mayflower ‘Tuesday evening, unanimously adop- ted a resolution favoring the building of a Museum of American History in the Nation's Capital. To be owned by the people and administered by the Smithsonian Institution, the new foundation would serve to dramatize and {llustrate the history of America from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. It would furnish shelter for valuable artifacts already owned by the Smithsonian and make possible the acceptance and display of gifts constantly being offered to the insti- tution. Philatelists should be inter- ested in the project because the plans include an exhibition hall, library, offices and assembly rooms assigned to stamps. Meanwhile, the threat of a rival philatelic museum, under Post Office Department auspices, has assumed larger proportions than ever, despite denials on the part of department officials. Harold F. Ambrose, writing in the Boston Evening Transcript Decem- ber 1, says: “Plans for the Post Office Department’s philatelic exhibition hall in the new Post Office Department Building on Pennsylvania avenue are progressing rapidly. Quarters in the building have already been set aside for this exhibition hall, in which it is planned to have on display the cur- (rent stamp issues of practically every country in the world. “Already 30 nations have forwarded their current stamp displays to Post- master General James A. Farley, who has turned them over to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, Clinton B. Eillenberger, under whose direction the new philatelic exhibition hall will be set up. “While the Post Office Department has maintained a philatelic agency for C, DECEMBER 9, 1934—PART FIVE, the exclusive benefit of stamp tors since back in 1921, the cruuon of this philatelic exhibition hall ‘marks | the first time in the history of the department that steps have been taken to establish an exhibition hall where philatelists from all over the country may go and view stamp ex- hibits from all parts of the world. “No definite date has been an- nounced for the opening of this exhibition hall, but it is expected that it will be some time next Spring.” ‘The 3-cent Byrd stamp, perforate, was removed from the sales list of the Philatelic Agency Monday. It has been estimated that 125,000 copies of the issue have been used on Little America mail. Mr. Farley has been asked to auth- orize a stamp in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Boston Latin School. Senator David I. Walsh and Representative John McCormick of Massachusetts have indorsed the appeal. Negotiations are said to be going on for regular transportation of mail be- tween the United States and Europe via Graf Zeppelin next Spring and Summer. New airpost stamps are in- dicated, but by no means assured. The Mother’s day, Maryland, Wis- consin and Newburgh stamps now are found only rarely in current postal use. A check of letters received in a large Washington business office demonstrated their scarcity. ‘The 16-cent airmail special de- livery stamp seems to have “miss- fired.” It is not nearly so popular in ordinary use as it was expected to be. Approximately 400,000 of the $1 duck hunter’s licenses stainp have been sold. Philatelic magazines and the stamp editors of various newspapers continue Michael L. Eidsness Explains His Policy of Conservatism Text of Washington Speaker’s Address at Annual Banquet of Rubber City Stamp Club, Akron; December 1. It is a privilege and a pleasure to bring to you the greeting of the stamp collectors of the Nation's Capi- tal and to convey to you a cordial and heartfelt invitation to attend the American Philatelic Society Conven- tion and Exhibition to be held in Washington next August. Everything that should be done and that can be done to insure the suc- | { cess of both the annual meeting and | the show is being done, and Ohio certainly will wish to be represented by a large delegation. Collectors are ! expected from every other State in the Union, and the Buckeye State, { which is so notably stamp-minded, | we are confident will do its part with enthusiasm. For Washington, I pledge the most | generous hospitality. The Washing- ton Philatelic Society and The Eve- | ning and Sunday Star have joined } forces to render the occasion forever memorable. “ And I must confess to you that T have a personal, perhaps a selfish, rea- | son for wishing to do all that I can toward that end. For many years—indeed, long | Department—I had been apprehensive i of the occurrence of some accident §| which would have the effect of de- creasing general interest in stamp collecting. You will understand, I am sure, why it was natural that I should have this fear. I had been so closely identified with the vast progress which philately had made that it would have been strange had I not felt a keen sense of responsibil- ity for its future. As superintendent of the Division of Stamps for nearly 13 years I had the duty to cater to and to serve the philatelic public. I came to know many hundreds of collectors. They sought my advice, solicited my guid= ance, and I tried to accommodate them. Such being the case, imagine my embarrassment in the event of any sudden collapse of enthusiasm for stamps. People have thousands of dollars invested in their collections. Should they lose that money, in whole or part, they might—perhaps unjust- ly—hold me to blame. Hence the caution which I adopted in answering questions which involved personal judgment or personal preference. And my timidity, as I think you will agree, was an asset rather than a liability to philately in the United States. I was wisely conservative, as I see my record, and no one familiar with my policies can say that I ever led even one single collector astray. I preached common sense, and people who took my advice did not suffer from so doing. But_my responsibility did not end when I resigned from the Government service. On the contrary, I had a larger duty, if that be possible, than I had had before. I was independent again. no longer bound by officialism or bureaucracy, and I had in my possession facts which collectors would be advantaged to hear or to read. I felt obliged to lecture and write, and for the past 11 months that has been the work that I have been doing. Meanwhile, things have happened that went far to prove the correctness of my attitude.

And so on. DR. A. HENRY, INC. 016 Eve St NW, | . Y. Al | before I resigned from the Post Office | record of the New Deal as it has af- fected philately. It has had its good points, and also its points not so good. But you are familiar with the chronicle, and I shall be content to mention only one circumstance to demonstrate why I take the position I do concerning the duty of the Government to col- lectors. That circumstance is the issuance of special imperforate sheets of stamps for sale to the philatelic public in con- nection with conventions and exhibi- tions. From the first I was skeptical of these novelties, and now I am con- vinced that they are—very definitely— a mistake. The Omaha printing of the Yosemite 1-cent parks issue was, I believe, one of the greatest errors made by the Post Office Department in its relations with collectors. And the reaction to its appearance has hurt philately. Numbers of people are disgusted, many are disillusioned, dozens doubtless have quit collecting. The Omaha stamp gave credence to the theory that the department has been tempted into making a racket of new issues. Of course, I hasten to add that no such thing may have been in- tended and the complaints may be partisan and mean and malicious. But it remains true that the effect has been unfortunate. All of which goes to show how badly needed is some better organi- zation of philatelists. In the old days when we all were amateurs it did not matter very much if we were independent hermits, isolated from one another. I can understand how and why people took little interest at that time in stamp clubs and stamp periodicals. But philately has begun to grow up. What once was a small inconsequential affair is now a major industry. It has been estimated that there are between 8,000,000 and 10,- 000,000 stamp enthusiasts—adult and juvenile, wise and unwise—in this country. Obviously they should be banded together for the protection of their interests—particularly for the protection of philately against any and all parties who might wish to exploit it for their own commercial profit. And the trend is toward greater and more effective solidarity. The fellowship of stamp collecting is one of its attractions, and men and women, boys and girls now consider it important to be affiliated with each other. Hence the growing strength of all philatelic organizations and the increasing popularity of the philatelic press. These are signs of develop- ment proper at such a time and in such a field, and we should rejoice that they are so plainly evident. But the end is not yet. The fact that the Post Office Department could and did perpetrate such a blunder as the Omaha stamp proves that phila- telists are not yet possessed of the power which they should have. Had they been strong enough, the depart- ment would have consulted them before authorizing such a special con- cession. Granted the National Fed- eration of Stamp Clubs has been organized and is functioning, it still remains clear as daylight that collec- tors should be bound even more closely together for mutual protection, aid and advantage. I want to see organized philately prosper—locally, nationally and inter- nationally. The alternative is the weakness which leaves stamp collec- tors in the position of the lamb who fell afoul of the wolf. And eventually the fate of temporary fads like mah- jong and jigsaw puzzles might be the destiny of philately were such warn- ings to go unheeded. In conclusion, let me summarize my thought in this way: Suppose the 1935 convention and exhibit of the Amer- ican Philatelic Society is a grand suc- cess; suppose it brings to Washington a great crowd of earnest and intelli- gent collectors; suppose those visit- ors to the Nation's Capital return home to educate their neighbors—the value of the meeting and the show and the experience will be exactly what philately needs, namely, the power of union and social purpose and high standards and lofty but practical ideals.

You swear it?” “I give you my word of honor that T've never heard of either of you.” An almost inaudible sigh escaped my | visitor, and for the first time the ghost of a smile flickered round the corner of her lips. “It seems funny that I should be questioning you; it ought to be the other way about.” “Oh, there’s no hurry,” I protested. “Won't you sit down and have a cig- arette? At the present moment that's the only hospitality I can run to.” She seated herself in the chalr which I had pulled forward, and lean- ing back against the arm of the sofa, I produced my case. “I'm not inquisitive, as a rule” continued, “but I should rather uke to know where you came from, and how you managed to get into my bed room.” She hesitated. “Mr. Trench,” she said almost desperately, “will you— will you listen to the whole truth?

He was born in Baltimore, entered the Navy in 1889, served as fleet surgeon under Admirals Decked, Murdock and Nicholson, succes- sively was commandant of the New York and Washington Naval Hospitals and attained his present rank in 1926. In philately he has been an en- thusiastic general collector. Some of his treasures have been ex- hibited at meetings of the Wash- ington Philatelic Society; others, it is expected, will be shown at the American Philatelic Society Convention exhibition here next August. —Harris-Ewing Photo. to report that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is again at work on the proposed presidential series. The truth is that nothing has been done, nothing even discussed, since last June. Joseph G. Hottinger, in Mekeel's ‘Weekly for November 26, writes: “Of the 29 Presidents whom death has made eligible for postage stamp honors, the portraits of 17 have ap- peared on one or more United States postal adhesives. A frank appraisal of the neglected 12 brings one to the realization that they have little else than mere political office-holding to commend them for the next issue of United States stamps. Before deciding to issue a set of 29 stamps in order that this far-from-deplorable neglect may be rectified, it behooves us to consult our conscience regarding a more serious neglect toward Ameri- cans who have definitely brought honor to our country in other fields than the political.” Instead of Van Buren, Polk, Tyler, Johnson, Arthur, etc., Mr. Hottinger suggests philatelic tribute to Poe, Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau, Irving, Hawthorne, Cooper, Longfellow, Web- ster, William James and Mark Twain. Also, J. J. Audubon, Luther Burbank, Samuel F. B. Morse and Eli Whitney. tell you everything.” “I shall be most interested,” I as- sured her.

It's the complete formula for a new metal, and there are people in the world— people interested in that kind of thing—who would give you almost any sum of money you liked to ask for it.” Sir Willlam Avon’s letter, which was still lying on the desk, flashed back suddenly into my mind, and I whistled softly. “My sainted aunt!” I muttered. “Why that * * * 2" I checked myself. “Go on,” I said encouragingly.

All denominetions of the current issue of Saar stamps have been surcharged ‘Volksabstimung, 1935, meaning ‘Ple- biscite, 1935." “In addition, German postal author- ities have joined in the campaign. A special postmark, ‘Saar plebiscite, 13 January, 1935, is being used by all post offices in Germany. Black-white- red letter seals also have been issued. Framed by a broken chain, the sticker shows, on white background, the slo- gan. ‘We want to return to the Reich,’ while ‘German is the Saar’ is printed in black letters over the red inner design. “The German post offices also are selling a buttonhole badge consisting of a piece of Saar coal imbedded in a small brass plate to support the cam- paign.

Instead, she was in the office of Mr. Hudson, junior executive in charge of personnel and complaints. . Twiddle- thumbs had a complaint. She was complaining so forcefully that her face flushed until it was as red as a brick. “I've charge account in this store for 17 years and what kind of service do I get? I am positive I told the girl to take off the price tag. I told her it was a gift. And when it was delivered to my sister-in-law there the tag was, one ninety-nine! I saw it myself. I was at her house when it came. I couldn't believe it. ‘Wait a minute, Mary," I said, ‘those idiots have left the tag on.” I passed it off as a joke, but I can’t begin to tell you how much I was humiliated.” Mr. Hudson took a& swift glance at the sales slip on his desk—“Mrs. Twiddlethumbs, I can't tell you how much we regret this.” “I don’t want to hear of your re- grets! What are you going to do about it? How am I to know this won't happen again? The next time maybe you'll send a gift C. O. D.” “We're going to do this, Mrs. Twid- dlethumbs.” Mr. Hudson pressed a button. “Miss Donaldson, trace this transaction and find out who is re- sponsible. Madame wished gift wrap- ping, ali tags removed.” He turned back to Mrs. Twiddle- thumbs. “Brown's will not tolerate this sort of carelessness, madame. Your patronage has been a source of pleasure to us. We want you to continue coming to Brown's. We want to live up to our name. the Friendly Store. The customer, Mrs. Twiddlethumbs, is always right.” Miss Donaldson returned. Trailing her was a small, thin girl, dressed in the somber color Brown's de- manded of its sales force. Her hair was parted and was drawn back into a small knot at the nape of her delicate neck. Her face was free of cosmetics, except for a light veil of powder that enhanced her peachlike complexion.” “Your name?” barked Mr. Hudson. “Mabel Allen. Six forty-nine,” shyly replied the girl. “That isn't the girl,” protested Mrs. Twiddlethumbs. “It was a tall, dark- haired girl.” “That was the sales girl,” Mr. Hud- son explained. “Miss Allen checked the transaction. It was her duty to remove the tags.” “I'm very sorry, sir.” The girl's voice was as meek as her face. “I guess—I must have overlooked it.” “Miss Allen, your carelessness has caused & valued customer embar- § The postal authorities of Guatemala have ordered thé destruction of ap- proximately 13,500,000 stamps classi- fied as remainders.

Then when he had saved a little money, he gave that up and we moved down South to New Orleans, “He had been delicate and the doc- tors thought that the warm climate would sult him better. He was very clever at everything to do with en- gineering, and he brought out quite a lot of small patents which he sold to different companies. But all the time, though no one knew anything about it, he was working secretly at this invention. “He was trying to find a metal which would be lighter and stronger than anything known now. It took him nearly 12 years, but at last, one evening this Spring he came back from the laboratory and told me that he had done it. He was very excited and he looked dreadfully tired. “He sat up talking to me about it till nearly midnight, and next morn- ing when I went into his room to see how he was, I found he had died in his name”—she drew in & quick doctor said that his heart had just stopped beating.” “It must have been & dreadful shock,” I said sympathetically. “Were you all alone?

He sald that he was trying to find work, and as he seemed to know something about chemistry and engineering fat! offered him a job in the laboratory. He turned out to be very useful, and Defore long he became a sort of confi- | dential assistant. He was the only | man in the place who knew anything | definite about father's secret.” “And it was he” I said quietly, “who stole the formula?” She nodded. “Father had written it out and locked it up in the safe at his office. When I went to look for it two days later it had disappeared. Osborne had gone, too. I don’t know how he got away—in a car by night I suppose—anyhow, nobody had seen him leave, and although inquiries were made all over the country the police vere never able to find the sm <t trace of him.

Get your time from the cashier, Miss Allen. Brown's can't get =along without its loyal customers, but Brown's will get along without you after “today.” “Mr. Hudson” said the small girl, “you mean Im fired?” “Yes, Miss Al- len, you're fired” What Mrs. Twid- lethumbs didn't know, however, was that the shy, tearful girl whom she was causing to be fired was the of- ficial fall girl, who was fired several times every day to please irate cus- tomers. It was Mabel Allen's job to be fired. Her oval face was suddenly con- torted. Her pink, unrouged mouth began to tremble like the mouth of a small child who has been unex- pectedly punished. Her eyes swam in tears, which brimmed over and coursed down her pale cheeks. She tried to speak—at least there was a convulsive movement in her slim throat, as if she were trying to force words past the lump of misery which lodged there. As Mrs. Twiddlethumbs looked at the dejected, tearful girl her face lost some of its color and the contour of her chest began to rise and fall like the waves of the ocean of pity that was enveloping her as she looked at the sobbing Mabel Allen. “Mr. Hudson,” Mrs. Twiddlethumbs said, in a voice that commanded at- tention. “I am closing my account with Brown’s.” “But—Mrs. Twiddlethumbs!” “Don’t give me any buts, Mr. Hud= son. Any place that is cold-hearted enough to fire a poor little, defense- less girl like this”"—pointing to Miss Allen—“is not a friendly store—and certainly cannot have my patronage!” Mrs. Twiddlethumbs’ face glowed a purplish red. She arose, raised her double chin to an uppish angle and stepped out of Mr. Hudson's office with a theatrical gesture. The swish of Mrs. Twiddlethumbs’ dress had barely subsided when Mr. Hudson turned his attention to Mabel Allen. “You—you dumb——!" He could say no more. His eyes popped. His face became beet-colored. “You {-f-f-00l!” he stammered, as he tried to pull the hair that no longer grew on his bald head. “You're fired, Miss Allen. You're fired!” “But—Mr. Hudson!” “Brown's doesn’t want your ex- cuses. We employed you to please customers with a little sob stuff, but the way you put it on— You've driven our best customer away.
