BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Eugene Klein, president, American Philatelic Society, in a few days will have an announcement of the utmost importance to the stamp collectors of the Nation. Secretary of the Interior Ickes at- tended the ceremony incident to the first printing of the Boulder Dam stamp at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Monday. Others pres- ent were: Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury L. W. Robert, jr.; Elwood Mead, director, Reclamation Service; Victor S. McCloskey, jr., designer of the stamp, and Alvin W, Hall, director of the bureau. Representing the Post Office Department there was a group including Second Assistant Postmaster General Harllee Branch, Third As- sistant Postmaster General C. B. Eil- enberger, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Smith Purdum, Deputy Third | Assistant Postmaster General Roy M. North, Superintendent of the Division of Stamps Robert E. Fellers, Assistant Superintendent of the Division of Stamps Robert C. King and Publicity Director Harold F. Ambrose. Twelve plates were specified for use. ‘The numbers were 21455 to 21466, in- | clusive.

The stamp, as announced several refers to 25b, olive; 1L, violet, and 3L, rose carmine. Luxemburg brought out a philatelic | exhibit edition of the 2fr 1928 scenic value, black, imperforate. It will be listed as 2fr plus 50 cents. The 12th birthday of King Peter II of Jugoslavia was commemorated in a series of six portrait stamps, in- cluding: 50p, orange; 75p, green; 1.50d, red; 1.75d, burgundy, and 3.50d, ultramarine. Hundreds of collectors who care little or nothing about aeronautics nevertheless are ardently interested in airmail stamps. The esthetic beauty of many airport issues is one ex- example, the legendary romahce of aviation is represented in the three 1924 values of Switzerland, showing an allegorical figure of flight (Scott’s AP4)—65¢ cent, gray, blue, and deep and Ifr, violet and deep violet. These were the work of the artist Karl Bickel, were printed at the Federal Mint, Berne, and ran to an edition of 200,000 each. PS The same conception inspired the unknown designer of the 1921 series | of Lithuania, brought out to mark the establishment of the airmail serv- ice of that country. A winged figure |of the composition (AP5), and there | are seven denominations—20sk, orange weeks 2go, is a 3-cent denomination, | and gray blue; 40 sk, dull blue and purple in color, flat-bed type without straight edges.

Requisitions for it have ceased, and the Post Office Department has 12,000.000 copies 6n hand. It is indicated that about half of these remainders will be sent®to New York for quick disposal, the balance to be turned over to the Philatelic Agency. Weekly Philatelic Gossip sums up the attitude of certain patrons in a spirited editorial: “The Philatelic Agency was originally intended 1o , ywinged figure not greatly different | of the American Philatelic Society, has | serve the stamp collector, and had it not been for the support given it by stamp collectors and bona fide stamp dealers in the beginning it could never have survived.

Dancing and merry-making were the order of the day. Annually, since that visit, the prophet has paid a return call to the city of his adoption.

MSTERDAM, Holland, Septem- ber 28.—When Holland’s most famous scholar, Erasmus, visit- ed Amsterdam, he poked fun at its citizens by saying that they lived in the tree tops like birds. As & matter of fact, Amsterdam is a city on stilts, for the land on which it was founded is so marshy and soft that every house must be built on piles, sunk as deep as 50 feet in the ground. Much of the land around it lies 15 feet below sea level, and as one voy- ages along the North Sea canal lead- ing to the city Hollanders proudly point out the network of canals, sluices, dikes and dams which inter- lace throughout the countryside. In case of an invasion, they explain, the whole district could be flooded in about two days, and they tell skeptics that this desperate defense has al- ready been used twice in the history of the nation. A great seaport, Amsterdam is most famed for its diamond-cutting indus- try. Eash year the country sends about $25,000,000 worth of diamonds to the United States alone, and thou- sands of people are employed in the industry. Visitors are allowed in many of the large works, but the most fas- cinating sight is in certain cafes of the district. There dealers come to bargain, heaping tiny piles of the stones in front of them and turning them over with the nail of the little finger, which they sllow to grow very long for this purpose. LIK! most cities of Holland, Am- sterdam has its network of canals, but these no longer are the important thoroughfares they once were. The | traffic of today takes to the streets | beside them, and in spite of the fact | that no ralling edges the water, acci- | dents are rare. When they do occur there is a special company with elab- | orate machinery which specializes in pulling horses, carriages, automobiles | and the like from the water, | Just as Amsterdam is a city of canals, so it is a city of famous paintings. The Ryks Museum, un- | surpassed in the world as a national gallery, contains masterpieces of all the great painters of Holland. This year it is celebrating its fiftieth anni- | versary with a special exhibition of Rembrandts, and American travelers may see on its walls paintings from ! American collections which they may never see at home, If one’s interests are outdoors rather than in, Amsterdam has a fascinating zoological garden, with a special pool for native wading birds, a gloomy ruin kept especially for its owls, and a large collection of animals. Its proudest possession is, however, the school of { herring in its aquarium, for these lowly fish have never lived in cap- 1 tivity elsewhere in the world. | AMSTER.DAI( is an excellent center | for excursions into other parts | | of Holland. Only short journeys sep- arate it from Volendam and Marken, where every one goes to see the quaint costumes worn by the fishermen; from Edam, famous for its cheeses, and from Zaandam, the capital of windmill There are literally hundreds of | windmills in the district about Zaan- | dam and they are used for everything. | inhabitants live in caves. The Traveler’s Notebook By Jacques ARLY to bed never makes the traveler wise in the ways of Spain. In Seville, Madrid and other Spanish cities, life be- gins at 10:40. The tempo quickens as the hands move toward midnight, and the crescendo is reached betweea 3 and 4 am. Dawn finds the revelers stragrling home. Music hal's, threaters and open air movies—where Hollywood's most glamorous stars are shown, includ- ing Mickey Mouse—draw the bulk of the crowd and the movie shows are free. One buys a drink, costing anywhere from & nickel up, and lounges back to enjoy the picture. A glass of hot milk, with two l'mps of sugar entitles the patron to sit through the show. But what American, trained to lunch habits, can make one drink last five or six reels? 1t is well that Americans learn some apologetic phrases in Spanish to ap- pease the lovers they may stumble | over. If the swain's sweetheart has no window through which he may murmur endearing phrases, he con- verses with her through the hole in the door, cut to let the cat in and out. To do this, he stretches out on the walk in front of the door, for- gews the cat. musters his choicest words and lets them play upon his lady fair's ears. But marriageable maidens for the most pari contrive to find a window. RA!N insurance guards the joys of Bunday seaside excursions from Paris. Rain stalled at the resorts of Boulogne and Treport by the Northern Railway of Prance, and if the heavens pucker up and weep between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m., the excursionist receives a refund of his fare.

JOHANNESBURG, September 28— A new search is to be made shortly for clues to the identity of a lost na« tion which inhabited Africa before the Bantu, the racial type to which Zulus and many other African tribes belong. The key to the puzzle lies in the granite ruins of Great Zim- babwe, Southern Rhodesia’s mystery city, which was this Summer opened up to tourists for the first time by the completion of a railroad from Johan- nesburg to Great Zimbabwe. The ru'ns, which form a wa'led fortress, were first explored in 1891. They comprise an irregular oval, 831 feet in circuit, inclosed by a wall of unmortared granite rocks. The wall is 31 feet high and 15 feet thick. The expedition work will start in the Spring and will continue throughout the year and promises to become a new tourist Mecca of the South African Union.
