Specially surcharged stamps will be used on covers from Manila car- ried back to the United States cn the return flight of the first trans- Pacific postal transport plane, sched- uled to leave San Francisco eastward bound Friday. A cable message from the post office officials of the Philippines common- wealth government, received yester- day, indicated that 60,000 copies of the 10c, 40,000 of the 30c and 40,000 of the 1p values of, presumably the February, 1935, series, have been or- dered overprinted. Meanwhile, the 25-cent United States airmail, issued for the occa- sion, will be available at the Wash- ington City Post Office, beginning Fri- day at 8 am. National Capital can- cellations, as usual, will be worth having. Further new airmail issues are fore- cast for issuance soon. Denominations may range from 50 cents to $5. ‘The centenary of the death of Bet- | sy Ross will be observed with appro- priate ceremonies at Philadelphia Jan- uary 30; and a stamp for the occasion has been suggested.

UEBEC, November 16.—The International Dog-Sled Derby, outstanding sporting event which is held each, year in the neighborhood of Quebec, tas been set for Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, February 20, 21 and 22 next. The famous race is run over a dis- tance of 120 miles by dogs and mushers during the three days, divided into daily laps of 40 miles. Conditlons governing the race, as well as the route the various teams will follow, are laid down by the Or- ganizing Committee. Teams generally consist of seven dogs, harnessed to a light sleigh, or sled, and the driver is | free to either run with his dogs, or else be a passenger for any or all the | 40 miles. He must, whenever required, | pull to one side of the road to let a | rival team pass, and must do so in such manner that fights between his own team and those of other entries | in the race are avoided. He must also, | ander penalty of disqualification, bring |in the same number of dogs as he | started the lap with. Judges are sta- | tioned all along the route, to see that the conditions of the race are observed | and that competitors do not bother each other. Large numbers of drivers enter the race each year and evoke keen en- thusiasm among spectators, who mass |in their thousands at both starting | and finishing points each day. Invi- tations have been sent out to leading ‘ dog drivers in North America to com- | pete in the Derby, one of the most | popular Winter sporting events in | the capital of the Province of Quebec. | Cachet Arkansas, Indiana, souri; Harrison: Arkansas, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Montana, | Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, | Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, West | Virginia and Wisconsin; Tyler: Ala- bama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsyl- vania, Texas and Washington; Polk: Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsyl- | vania and Tennessee; Taylor: Ari- zona, Arkansas, Kentucky.

Small white dots occasionally found in United States stamps, it has been explained, “may be caused by dry spots in the paper or failure of the ink roller to fill in the plate thoroughly. They also may be caused by tiny lumps of sizing or pulp on the paper when received from the mill, which, after the printing opera- tion and after handling of the stamps, flake off.” Peter Gouled declares: “There must be some truth in the old adage that most things of high value come in small packages. One of the noblest ideals of mankind—mutuality—is em- bodied in the postage stamp.” Recent advertising slogans used in cancellation dies are: “Le Cafe D'Haiti Est Meilleur,” “Cafe y Cacoa Vene- zolano E1 Mejer Del Mundo,” “Buy Cuban Sugar,” “Buy Trinidad Grape- fruit,” “Colombia Produces the Best Mild Coffee,” “Buy Irish Goods,” “Ma-~ nila, Trade Center of the “Holiday This Year in Canad: Es el Paraiso de Los Turistas, to Nassau, Bahamas—Ideal Tourist Resort,” “Come to Bermuda—the Isles of Rest,” “Visit Sunny Australia,” “Baden Baden Ist Billig,” “See Rho- desia First,” “Fernsprechen Spart Zeit und Gelt,” “You Are Wanted on the Phone” and “Buy Baby Bonds.” The mythical Ho-o bird, “harbin- ger of happiness,” is represented in the Imperial Silver Wedding stamps of Japan, 1925; also.in the Coronation issues, 1928.

Until that time he had been addicted to golf. “The only right way to collect stamps,” says J. Van Kirk Wells, “i the way that gives you the most joy.” The New York Herald Tribune for November 6 credited President Roose- velt with correcting the sketch of the Yankee clipper ship in the 25-cent | trans-Pacific airmail stamp design to have three masts instead of two. Postmaster General Farley has esti- mated the number of stamp col- nine million”; Prescott Thorp believes there are only “about one and a half to two million.” and George B.

While he slept, travel costs have been slashed, streamlined speed has been unleashed, travel grime and heat have been washed away by air conditioning, afd, like luxury liners, car interiors have been decorated to appease his artistic sense, removing the harsh surface of steel that re- minded him that he lives in a pell- mell machine age. Aside from gratifying the habit of hurry, speed has shrunk the map of the United States. In the vacation’s practical terms, this means that in the brief respite from his lgbors, he can see more of the country, add a day or two to his stay at a sunny beach resort, a distant city, or to his rambles amid towering mountains. Air conditioning became a demo- cratic institution under the railroads. It is not confined to premium travel, for tourist coaches as well’ as the im- proved day coaches and Pullmans offer the traveler relief from Summer travel heat. Air conditioning in Pull- mans has been perfected in the last year. Circulation in berths has been improved by introducing separate air ducts, or by fans which gently throw fresh air into the curtained parti- tions. Although there is still a battle be- tween smokers and non-smokers, some roads, with the advent of scientific circulation of air, decided to permit the convenience of smoking in one’s coach seat, which, by the way, now reclines or revolves to suit the traveler's whim. The traditional smoking car thus may pass away, and in its stead may come a special car for those whose nostrils continue to be offended. week established the so-called two-cent fare on a permanent basis trial since late in 1933), they wrote another chapter in lower cost trans- portation. Two types of accommoda=- tions for two cents a mile are avail- able, on lines west from Chicago and the Mississippi River: Coaches and tourist sleepers on transcontinentai trains. First class accommodations, including sleeping cars and lounges, are three cents a mile. Transconti- nental trip coaches cost one and one- half cents a mile, While fares comprise the bulk of the expense of rail travel, the roads nhave not stopped there in reducing travel costs. In tavern and buffet cars, they have, in the matter of serving food, compromised between the expensive hotel and the highway's hot dog stand. Sandwich and drink counters have been introduced while the travel Rip Van Winkle slept, and snacks are soid at drug store prices. On several lines, | under first class hotels, offer breakfast | for 25 cents, luncheon for 35 and din- | ner for 50, all substantial meals. Tray | service has become general for light refreshments.” The general trend in diner prices has been downward and toward a limited menu, for wide variety and epicurean masterpieces are expensive to produce. SOME of the modern pullmans have taken on hotellike accommoda- tions in the choice of rooms. Singie and double bed rooms are available. Inclosed sections (in effect compart- ments) have their own ventilating systems which can be controlled at | will. Cars that combine bed rooms, sectiol Special lounge cars for women and | children have been introauced, with trained nurses in charge.

THE vacation range of the habitual motorist has been widened since the depression set in, as the railroads several years ago granted him the privilege of shipping his car to a dis- tant objective for the price of a ticket, letting him drive the highways and byways to the characteristic nearby scenes he wants to discover.

EW YORK, N. Y., November 16.—Visitors to New York City who wish to explore the great- est natural wonder in the eastern part of the United States, the Palisades, should spend at least a day on the great ridge of rock that begins at Bayonne, or across in Graniteville, Staten Island, and con- tinues to Piermont, on the Hudson, 30 | miles away. | One of the first prominences in this | great ridge of rock, as seen from the | river, is Castle Point, Hoboken, directly opposite the piers at the foot of West Fourteenth street. Here the original Stevens’ homestead stood on a high bluff which is still high John Stev- ens, member of the Continental Con- gress and associate of Robert Fulton, | built the first homestead. The pres- ent house, or castle, always a con- spicuous landmark, was built 100 years ago and is still occupied by members of the Stevens family. West of Stevens’ Castle the ridge is 100 feet high and there starts a ciimb that continues until a maximum of 547 feet of sheer rock is reached at Indian Head, across the river from Yonkers. { The Palisades are a series of bold | and majestic headlands, the result of | conditions similar to those which pro- duced the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and Fingal's Cave in Scotland.
