BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Collectors are warned that there is & growing demand for United States | stamps in superior cancelled condi- tion. The unprecedented publicity which philately has received in the regular press of the Nation since Oc- tober, 1931, is responsible in large part for the panic rush, but the fact that grade A specimens never have been over-plentiful also is a contrib- uting factor. To illustrate the diffi- culty, the experience of a Washington dealer may be cited. He recently purchased a blind lot of parks stamps of assorted values. And in the ac- cumulation he found only 112 items fit to offer his patrons. The number of rejected copies was 894—off-center, straight-edge, torn and barbarously defaced included. Meanwhile, good mint copies are fairly common. An army of specu- lators are understood to be hoarding | Philatelic Agency stock in expecta- tion of an inevitable rise in prices. Agency sales figures for the first) three months of 1935 were $842,164. Yet members of the House of Repre- | sentatives ask: “What good are stamp | collectors?” The 3-cent Connecticut Tercen- tenary stamp went on sale at Hart- ford Friday and in Washington yes- terday. Designed by Victor S. Mc- Closkey, jr.. the central motif shows | the famous charter oak in which | the Colonial charter was hidden from | Gov. Andros in 1687. A few Washington collectors ar-| ranged for National Capital cancel- lations. | For the San Diego Exposition the | Post Office Department may decide | to bring out a 1-cent stamp, as well | as the 3-cent issue already announced. | A 5-cent value, for international use, likewise may be authcrized, and a 3-cent envelope has been considered. CLYDE V. DE BINDER, Siderographer in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing since 1908 and an ardent collector and stu- dent of stamps since 1925, is one of the leaders in the work of pre- paring for the American Philatelic Soclety Convention and Exhibition, to be held in Washington in August. He is a native of Phila- delphia and was educater there, but has been a resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia for 27 years. Sales manager of the Washington Philatelic Society, he also is a member of the Bourse Committee for the convention. He says he has a congenial stamp club in his own home, because Mrs. De Binder, their daughter Christine and their sons Robert and Todd likewise are interested in matters The department appears to look | with favor upon the plan for a series of State commemoratives first formu- | lated by Michael L. Eidsness, jr., sociate editor, Stamps Magazine. | Stories in the Boston Evening Tran-‘i script and the New York Sun sup-| port that view. John James Audubon, celebrated naturalist, received the homage of thousands of American lovers of the | out-of-doors Friday—the 150th anni- versary of his birth. But there was no commemorative stamp for him. It happens that his contribution to the civilization of his country has none but cultural importance. Elmer C. Pratt, stamp editor, Cam- den Courier Post, has lent the au- thority of his opinion to the judg- ment that the National Parks stamps are not properly subject to classifica- tion as commemoratives. William Cox, publisher Stampolog albums, has announced that the Farley reprints will be omitted from his publication. Coil stamps, by order of Third As- sistant Postmaster General Clinton B. Eilenberger, now may be purchased at ordinary post offices in pairs or strips as desired. Philatelists no longer will be obliged to buy complete coils in their quest for specimens. of the Kent B.

The total, he finds, | was 1,607, as against 1,651 fn 1933}15 | the assistant secretary of state must Costa Rica will have a new Cross stamp Wednesday. The Associated Press reports: “In honor of the protagonist of the Hun- garian independence movement of the early eighteenth century Hungary is paying stamp tribute to Franz Ra- | koczy on the bicentenary of his | death. | “The stamps, all of a uniform de- | sign, have the portrait of Rakoczy in these denominations: 10f, green; | 16f, purple; 20f, red; 32f, red-brown, and 40f, blue. | “Rakoczy, known as Francis II, started an active campaign against the Austrian Emperor in 1703, con- quering all of Hungary up to the Danube, but later his army was routed. Fourth in a line of Transyl- vania princes, he continued his ef-| forts for Hungarian independence | until 1711, when he left his country upon refusing amnesty and went to France to iive, finally entering the Carmelite order. He died in Turkey in 1735, and in 1907 his body was moved to Hungary at the expense of the state.” Red | Following immediately after the six silver jubilee stamps already an- nounced, Canada will have a regular | series of 13 stamps, June 1 The | values indicated are: lc, 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c, 8c, showing a portrait of King | George; 10c, 13c, 20c, 50c and 81, | scenic pictorials; 6c, airmail, and 20c, | special delivery. | Orders for first-day covers should’ be seni to the district director of postal service, Ottawa, Ontario, with self-addressed, standard size envelopes and remittance for face price of stamps desired. | | | Salvador has a set of five regular | postage values, 5 cents to 47 cents, —_— STAMPS.

C., APRIL 28, 1935—PART TWO. Atlantic City Will Unlock Sea May 30 Bathing Suit Revue to Be Feature of Ceremony. TLANTIC CITY, April 27— Colorful ceremonies featuring Annette Kellerméin, originator of the one-piece bathing suit, with scores of bathing girls and lifeguards, will mark the launching of Atlantic City's 1935 ocean bathing season May 30. The official “unlocking of the Atlantic Ocean” will be staged in front of the headquarters tent of the Beach Patrol at South Carolina ave- nue, within the view of Boardwalk promenaders. Miss Kellerman, who created a sen- sation here years ago when she ap- peared in her then daring suit, will receive a key from “Father Neptune” to turn over to Mayor Harry Bacha- rach. - The resort's chief executive will give the key to Dr. Charles Bos- sert, chief beach surgeon, who will then instruct his lifeguards and beach surgeons. A pageant showing the evolution of the bathing suit from the ankle length skirts of the “Gay 90's” to the lace and net creations of today will be staged under the direction of Miss Kellerman. Advance preparations indicate that the beach will be more colorful than ever this year, with hundreds of additional cabanas and vividly colored beach umbrellas dotting the strand. Powerful beams of light playing upon the ocean waves after dark aad illumination of sections of the beach | with lanterns, is expected to make night bathing exceptionally popular. The Boardwalk bicycle lane recently opened by Mayor Bacharach has proved popular with visitors and sev- eral “bike stations” have been estab- lished where the wheels can be rented for a small hourly charge. sible to find lines applicable even | to philately. The celebration of his birthday on Tuesday brought out the fact that he made use of the word “stamp” on 26 occasions and of “stamped” in 10 different places. Fenton in “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is represented as saying, | “I found thee of more value than | stamps in gold or sums in mledl Baga™ “Much Ado About Nothing” con- tains the thought: “The event stamps them, but they have a gcod cover”— an expression which should appeal to collectors of commemorative ca- chets. Sceptics in search of counterfeits, likewise, may appreciate the remark in “Measure for Measure” about “stamps that are forbid”; also the query in “The Merchant of Venice”; “Who shall be honorable without the stamp of merit?"” In “Macbeth” the Bard employs the expression: “Hanging a golden stamp ebout their necks” with regard to a | theoretical cure for illness, and in “Hamlet” he has a character speak of “the stamp of one defect” in re- | lation to psychological distress. “King Richard III" discloses the | saying: “Your fire-new stamp of honor is scarce current,” and ‘“Cymbeline” exhibits a rebuke for the careless in the judgment: “They weigh not every stamp.” Obviously, Shakespeare was think- ing of coins in these instances and not of adhesive labels; but the cita- tions are interesting, none the less, because they demonstrate that in his genius as a creator of language he could and did include terms which the modern philatelic public under- stands. Eugene Klein, Philadelphia stamp | specialist recently nominated for pres- ident of the American Philatelic So- ciety, sailed from New York Monday en route to Great Britain. He will be | abroad until the end of June. Latin America is becoming “in- | dustry-minded.” On April 10 Mexico | brought out a 10-cent, dark violet | stamp to mark the third industrial | census of the republic. The design | shows a tractor surrounded by cog- wheel rims. Columbia likewise has a new issue with an industrial motif—a 2-cent, carmine denomination picturing group of oil derricks. Belgium has three new semi- postage stamps in aid of child wel- fare work. The design is identic for all values—a portrait group of King Leopold’s three children. De- nominations are: 35c plus 15c, green; 70c plus 30c, red-brown, and 1.75fr plus 50c, dark blue. The series will be on sale until the end of Sep- tember. Seven internationally prominent women are represented in the de- | signs of a series of staraps issued by Turkey for the International Alliance meeting at Istambul this month. They are Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Selma Lagerlof, Sigrid Undset, Grazia Deledda, Bertha von Suttner and Mme. Curie—all Nobel | Mexico will have new 5c and 10c regular postage and 20c and 40c air- mail stamps next month. The occa- sion is a philatelic exhibition, and the issues will be sold at double face value. A schedule of commercial cachets for the Pacific Exposition, San Diego, Calif., has been announced. Presum- ably, there also will be a non-com- mercial list. John P. Sabroe, 804 President street, Brooklyn, was the sponsor of a dig- nified and attractive printed me- morial cachet for Mark Twain, April 21; and Louis F.

And, with New York as a starting point, his first jump is to Washington! “H{AVING been brought up. most| likely, in or near New York, Richard Halliburton, jr., would be fa- | miliar already with this wonder city and no longer amazed by its towers and fits bridges and Park avenue,” he writes. “But the rest of the Western Hem- isphere awaits him.

I've seen practically every major monu- | ment in the world, but not one of them has made my spirits leap the way this soaring, white shaft has.” THIS is the opinion of a man who has feasted his eyes on the stateliness | of the world’s capitals, and the stu- | pendous man-made marvels that still | dot the earth—the mysterious pyra- | mids, the “heaven-wrought” temple of Angkor in the jungles of Indo- China, the dreamily beautiful Taj Mahal at Agra, India. Perhaps, if Washington’s beauty has become commonplace to residents here, there are other places in Amer- ica that have been overlooked by travelers because of their nearness. There are, he writes, and tells of the Grand Canyon: “The sight of the Grand Canyon arouses in me the strongest feeling of proximity with divine presence and divine power I have ever known. Mount Everest is the one other physi- cal marvel of the earth that has left me with the same impression—the impression that I was face to face with something too stupendous and too glorious to belong to this little planet. “And then there is San Francisco. | Its dramatic and commanding sight, | its Golden Gate, its bay, its titanic | new bridges, its roller-coaster streets, its tower-pierced hills, the magnifi- cent, sweeping views from every side all make San Francisco stand out brilliantly not only among the cities of America but of the world.” NEXT on the list is the Panama Canal, which “we have come to | accept as an old and rather dull | THE MAINE COAST FOR SUMMER MOUNTAIN ASH INN & COTTAGES | BROOKLIN, MAINE Opens early in June.
