B-12 » THE SUNDAY STAR,” WASHINGTON, D. C€,” MARCH 3,” 1935—PART ONE. T Stamps (Continued From Sixth Page.) stamps of Spain, issued in tribute to the painter Goya and reproducing one of his most notable works, may care to see a brief article, “When the Inquisition Sought Goya,” by H. S. Ciolkowski, printed in the Interna- tional Studio for June, 1923. “A discovery,” the author say: been made in connection with Goya's two masterpieces known as the ‘Majas’ and which it has been thought might well be portraits of his noble friend, the Duchess of Alba. Certain recently found documents from the archives of the Inquisition show that the painter of the ‘Capricios’ had trouble with the successors of Torquemada. One paper is a charge made by the fiscal in- quisitor, compiled in the secret cham- bers of the Holy Office on November 15, 1814, and signed by Dr. Zorilla de Velasco, against certain pictures of ‘immoral and execrable nature’—it happens that they were the ‘Majas’ A second document, dated March 16. 1815, and signed by the same hand. orders Goya to appear before the courts of the Holy Office, there ‘to recognize the pictures, to declare them as his work and to explain why, for whom and for what purpose he paint- ed them.” “It is more than probable that Goya never answered the summons, which is & pity for us, as the report might have revealed the identity of the mysterious sitter. Dr. de Velasco's au- thority was not that, by far, of the terrible Torquemada. The French rule in Spain had suppressed the in- quisitorial tribunal. The Holy Office sought Goya on a previous occasion, when, subsequent to some romantic adventure, the tribunal had issued a warrant against him. ‘That time, he evaded it by leaving the country. However, the men of the Inquisition did not forget him nor the Jjibes that he directed at them. “Even at the cost cf never knowing the name of the ‘Maja’ it is a reliet | to know that Goya was not put on the rack or submitted to the thumb- screw because of her.” “One of the most interesting errors of the twentieth century,” says R. T. Freeman in the Atlanta Constitution, “is the 5-cent red error, -issued in March, 1917. “This error occurred three times in a sheet of 400 2-cent stamps, and it | is assumed that, three impressions. nn\ this plate were defective and the | operator at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing blanked out and re- entered the three impressions, using : the 5-cent transfer roll instead of the | 2-cent roll. This resulted in the error | in color, namely 5-cent red. | “The lower right-hand pane of the theet contains one error and the up- | per left-hand pane contains two errors, | one above the other. . . . Thgse errors | occur in both the perforated 1) and perforated 11 issues. There were probably 50,000 of the perforated 10, and 80,000 perforated 11 issued. The plate number is 7942. “When first discovered these errors sold at over $100 each, but the price rapidly fell as new sheets were dis- covered, until the price reached a low figure of about $2.50 each. At present these stamps are being rapidly ab- sorbed, and prices are mounting as a result.” “The world's smallest post office,” vrites C. C. Pryor in Hobbies Maga- zine, “is in the Straits of Magellan. It is & small painted cask chained to the rocks in such a way as to allow it to float freely. Passing ships send a boat to it to take letters out and put others in. It is under the pro- tection of all navies of the world.” The Boys nr;ivG"xrls‘ Newspaper, New York, contains a stamp column ecdited by William D. Cox. Alice Briswalter Skiles, writing in Stamps Magazine for March 2, dis- cusses “companionship hobbles.” “The best investment a woman can make,” she says, “is to donate part of her time her husband’s hobby, so that she may talk with some knowledge of it and listen with a genume in- terest to what he has to say.” The Garfield-Perry Stamp Club will | have a 45th birthday celebration at | the Hotel Carter, Cleveland, March 15-17. ‘One hundred frames of se- | lected stamps will be exhibited, there | will be a bourse and at the closing banquet Harry L. Lindquist, Postmas- ter M. F. O'Donnell and others will speak. Harris Samonisky, member of the Wilmington, Del, Stamp Club, de- serves a place on the list of newspaper men who find recreation in philately. He is city editor of the Wilmington Journal-Every Evening. William H. Beck is chairman of the Exhibition Committee of the Balti- more Philatelic Society and has charge of plans for the show scheduled to open March 25. Mrs. Eugene Klein was a speaker at a recent meeting of the Phila- delphia Women's Stamp Club. With her husband, she has attended all the great philatelic conventions and ex- hibitions of the past decade, and her knowledge of stamps is comprehen- sive and thorough. George A. Polsey, vice president, Westchester Philatelic Society, White Plains, N. Y., died February 9 after a month’s illness. He was a veteran of the World War, a banker by pro- fession and an enthusiastic collector of stamps for many years. ‘W. Hayden Collins, Washington col- lector, now in St. Petersburg, Fla., has won first and second ribbons for his exhibits of the stamps of Canada and Newfoundland in the annual show of the Stamp and Cover Club of the resort city. H. S. Wagner of Akron, Ohio, was 8 visitor in Washington last week. His collection, he says, is prospering in spite of difficulties common to the philatelic tribe these days. Alden H. Whitney, quoting Shake- speare, has told friends in the postal organization, “Beware the Ides of March.” Those who do not grasp the significance of his advice may consult the Avon poet’s version of the ter- mination of the career of Julius Caesar, ‘Th ashington Stamp Club of the Air will rave a broadcast meeting from Station WOL Tuesday evening at 6:45. Albert F. Kunze, leader, will speak. The Collectors’ Club, Branch 5, So- ciety of Philatelic Americans, will meet Tuesday evening at the Thomson School, Twelfth street. There will be an auction, and visitors are assured of a welcome. The Washington Philatelic Society will meet at the Hotel Carlton, Six- teenth street, Wednesday evering. Public invited. James Waldo Fawcett will address the Roosevelt High School Philatelic Society Friday afternoon. An anonymous reader accuses the stamp department of The Star of having urged the Postmaster General’s “collectors’ edition” of gift imperfor- ates. The contrary, of course, is the truth, as the unknown correspondent may discover for himself by reference to the files of the paper or by inquiry f the Post Office Department execu- o tives. 4 | Retired BISHCP M’DOWELL SPEAKS AT HOWARD Churchman Delivers Charter Day Address—Univer- sity Marks Anniversary. Bishop William F. McDowell, re- tired, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, dglivered the Charter day ad- dress at the annual exercises at How= ard University Friday.

'The conditions confronting the race for which it was founded are not what they were in 1867. The conditions confronting this city are all different. On its own grounds, therefore, and in its own times not only must the university live its life and do its work but in their own times and on their own grounds their graduates must do their work.” The retired churchman told the Howard students their future work and problems “are going to be a great deal more difficult than anything your T H fathers and grandfathers ever en- dured.” Bishop McDowell was introduced by Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president. An academic procession of the trus- tees, officers, deans and facultles of the nine schools and colleges of How- ard preceded the address. The meet- ing was held in Andrew Rankin Me- morial Chapel. Belgian Monarchs Visit England.
