If President Roosevelt is successful in his campaign to succeed himself | present Post Office Department pol- | icies are likely to be continued; the | long-delayed Army and Navy heroes series will be issued, and the frequent- | ly debated “neglected” Chief Execu- | tives set for regular postage is apt to be authorized. But if Gow Landon should win there would be numerous changes. It is understood that he favors the use of stamp designs to pay tribute to | men and women who have served their country in other than political | ways. He might be expected to ap- prove postal issues in homage to such characters as Emerson, the philos- opher; Walt Whitman, the Poet of democracy; Stephen Collins Foster, the composer of “O Susannah™ and many equally famous songs, and Will Rogers, the cowboy commentator, whose wit and humor instructed as well as entertained the whole' Nation until his death in an airplane crash last year. Mr. Landon is not personally in- terested in philately, but his message to the American Philatelic Society | Convention at Omaha indicated his | respect for the hobby. Reports to the effect that the de- signs submitted by the Bureau of En- | graving and Printing for the Army | and Navy series have been rejected are not true. The officials of the Post Office Department have reached no decision about them. Indeed, the matter has had no consideration whatever for many weeks. C. Robert Kay, writing for the As- sociated Press, says: “The rarest regularly issued twentieth century United States stamp, which is almost | identical to the 1-cent Franklin stamp used on current mail, has just brought $216 at auction in New York. “Issued in 1925, the stamp has minute differences in size and per- forations from the familiar green 1-cent stamp now in use. Only one unused copy has ever been discovered. It is worth $2,000. “The used copy auctioned in the metropolis was in fine condition. The price of $216 was something of a bar- gain for the purchaser, because very fine copies have brought as high as| $250 at auction. Off-center copies are sold at retail for $200. “At the auction referred to, a lot of fine used coples of the 16-cent, steel blue, airmail special delivery stamp of 1934 brought an average of 17 cents & copy—1 cent over face value. “Hoarders of unused United States sheets will be interested in the follow- ing auction prices of recent commem- oratives in full-sheet form, all very fine condition: 1931, Von Steuben, 100, brought $5; 1931, Pulaski, 100, $6; 1931, Red Cross, 100, $3.50; 1931, Yorktown, 50, $5; 1932, Lake Placid, 100, $3; 1932, Arbor Day, 100, $2.75; 1932, William Penn. 100, $4.85; 1932, Daniel Webster, 100, $4.25; 1933, Oglethorpe, 100, $3.75; 1933, New- burgh, 100, $3.75; 1933, N.

Denomina- tions are not to be changed, and each design will include King Edward’s por- trait. Newfoundland expects to have its own coronation set, and indications of a similar decision have been reported for the Union of South Africa. Third Assistant Postmaster General | Clinton B. Eilenberger has given ap- | | proval to the latest effort to stimulate | philately. In a.letter to Mrs. Alice C. Westphal, he said: “The Post Office Department is intensely concerned in encouraging the art of stamp collecting by reason of its educational benefits to the youth of the Nation, as well as pro- viding a very instructive and interest- ing hobby for adults.

Each of these covers, bearing a re- plica of the new Christmas seal de- picting the jovial face of Santa Claus with lighted candles and the red dou- ble-barred cross symboliging the fight against tuberculosis, together with an | enclosed greeting card with space in- | dicated for placing a seal, will be postmarked and mailed at the famous Indiana postoffice named “Santa Claus” by special advance arrangement with the postmaster at that town. A limited number of these special Christmas seal cachets have been re- served by the District of Columbia | Tuberculosis Association for any of its friends desiring to order one or more at the price of 10 cents each, which includes the postage charge of three cents for mailing from Santa Claus, Ind. A representative of the associa- tion living at that place will buy the postage stamps there and place them on the covers as ordered. Any person wishing to receive one of these Christmas seal covers by mail postmarked on Thanksgiving day, the opening of the annual sale of the Christmas seals, may do so by sending 10 cents with an order to the office of the D. C. Tuberculosis Association, 1022 Eleventh street northwest, not later than November 7. Printing orders for the Susan B. Anthony stamp now have reached 125,000,000 copies. Pinal distribution figures are an- nounced by the Philatelic Agency, as follows: Tipex sheets, 2,821,770; 16- cent, steel blue, airmail-special de- livery, 9,215,750, and 3-cent, Con- necticut, 70,726,800. There are two distinct shades of the 16-cent, steel blue, airmail-special de- livery stamp. A. L. Van Nest, Stamps for Oc- tober 24, writes: “Dwight Benton's sketch of Chicago’s second Fort Dear- born includes two boys and a dog playing in the shadow of the block- house. The designer copies Benton's sketch to the finest detail, except that the boys and the dog were omitted. By the way, did you ever notice the ‘telephone booth’ adjoining the block- house on the right? It’s a real tele- phone booth, as can be proved by re- ferring to Benton’s sketch where it stands out in a very prominent man- ner.” ‘The first United States commemo- rative was the 15-cent black stamp issued April 15, 1866, in homage to the memory of Abraham Lincoln.

At the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion, April 30, 1904, the first cover canceled was an 1876 Centennial en- velope bearing complete sets of the Columbian, trans-Mississippi and Pan- American, as well as the St. Louis issues. ‘The actual first release of the Lin- coln memorial stamp prepared for the centenary of the emancipator's birth was January 28, 1909.
