CHICAGO CHOSEN BY PHILATELISTS Kunze, at Cleveland Ses- sion, Announces Winner of Silver Plate. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. CLEVELAND, December 9.-*-The second American Philatelic Congress, held at the Hotel Statler here Monday and yesterday, closed with the an- | nouncement, read by Eugene Klein, ' THE HECHT CO.

Twenty-five Illinois stamp clubs, under the lead- ership of Dr. Clarence W. Hennan, will sponsor the occasion. At the final congress luncheon Al- bert F. Kunze, leader of the Wash- ington Stamp Club of the Air and chairman of the congress jury, re- ported that the silver plate of the second congress had been awarded to Donald F. Lybarger for his paper on “The United States Issues of 1918- 1920; Offset Printings.” Honorable mention certificates went to Dr. Hen- nan for his study of “The Stamps and Mail Service of the Private Posts of Chicago” and to Leo Shaughnessy of Sharon, Pa., for his monograph on “United States Stamps No. 33 and No. 44." Gerard Ten Eyck Beeckman's plan _THE fiVENII\G STAR WASHINGTON, D. for the purchase of the “world’s most valuable stamp”—the unique British Guiana gem from the collection of the late Arthur Hind—was discussed, but no formal action was taken. PFurther negotiations, it was understood, will be carried on with representatives of the owner of the rarity. During the morning session Fred W. Green, Cleveland attorney, made a stirring appeal for a “code of honor” for stamp collectors. Such a code, he said, could be formulated from reports of the Board of Vice Presidents of the American Philatelic Society on contentious cases. Another feature of the open forum meeting of the congress was a gen= eral discussion of ways and means for reconditioning old covers bear= ing stamps. Dr. Blake Battles, presie dent of the Rubber City Stamp Club Featuring Plenty of Akron, urged the preservation of such material in its natural state. “The less tampering with it,” he said, “the better.” Fine entires, how- ever solled or time-stained, he ar- gued, “should not be laundered.” George S. Fanning and Mr. Beeck- man, debating the market for silver jubilee stamps of Great Britain, told the congress that fluctuation in prices is inevitable. Mr. Kunzge, speaking of the need for a trained and experienced philae telic adviser for the Post Office De- partment, was roundly applauded when he insisted: “The Government already has a guide in the philatelic curator of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, Mrs. Catherine L. Manning. If it seeks her help, it will be given cheerfully. She has the confidence of the collecting public to a degree NAtional 5100 Black on Black in Large Sizes!

Meanwhile, Mr. Klein left for New York to attend the fortieth birthday anniversary banquet of the Collectors’ Club of that city.
