BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Cecil Betron, stamp editor of the Detroit News, writing from Washing- ton to his paper under date of June 27, said: “The awakening of philatelic opinion was .manifest when the Na- tional Stamp Con#rence, the first of its kind in this country, was held in an effort to promote interest in bet- ter designed and better printed United States postage stamps. Whatever the future results of the conference, its immediate success was informally vouchsafed by philatelic writers from 14 Eastern and Middle Western cities and assured by Post Office Depart- ment officials, who pledged their co- operation with stamp collectors.” A similar degree of approval was manifest in a report written by Chet Geesey, representative of Harry L. Lindquist, president of the National Federation of Stamp Clubs, for Stamps Magazine for July 3, in whica he declared: "By far the most impor- tant idea advanced at the conference was the suggestion that a committee of five be appointed to visit the postal departments of foreign gov- ernments and study the various meth- ods of postage stamp production in those countries with the view to offer- ing suggestions for the improvement of our own postal issues. . . . This excellent plan would be of far-reach- ing benefit, but the size of such a committee should be increased to as many as 50 members. It should in- clude a large number of important specialist collectors and representa- tives of all philatelic journals in this country. Such a commission, inclua- ing also, as was suggested, representa- tives of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. the Post Office Department ~— ————THE SUNDAY ~STAR. - WASHINGTON, D. C.

The eighth annual convention of American Airmail Society, meet- ing at the Bridgway Hotel, Springfield, Mass., Thursday, Priday and yester- day, heard addresses and reports by Walter J.

A feature of the ! meeting was a philatelic writers’ | breakfast, attended by Maurice .| Petty of Washington and other con- tributors to the aero-stamp press. C. Robert Kay, stamp editor of the Associated Press, wires from New York: “Despite weakness of prices of United States stamps. which is be- ginning to affect even the earlier is- sues, job lots of used airmail ad- hesives bring steady prices at New York auctions. “One of the surprising aspects of | stamp collecting to the uninitiated is | that some stamps in current use bring almost as much after they are can- celed as they do when unused. One of these is the current 15-cent airmail, | is worth about 10 cents | 10 years, canceled. “Wholesale lots of the 10, 15 and 20 | cent map stamps, and of the 16-cent airmail special delivery, are avidly | sought because they are seldom offered | at auction. The great bulk of the | Nation's airmail bears the 6-cent value, | which is very common, and the other | current stamps are seldom used. “A Byrd Antarctic expedition minia- | ture sheet, autographed by Admiral Byrd, brought $1.10 at auction here | recently. The sheet is worth about 40 cents, making Byrd's autograph worth 70 cents. Retailers who have similar autographed sheets in atock Postmaster General Parley announced through the Philatelic Agency for the fiscal year just ended amounted to $1,945,019, the highest normal year in the history of the agency. This figure, he said, was exceeded only once in the past, that is in 1935, when the sale of special issues of stamps in uncut sheets and blocks (the famous Farley reprints) resulted in the agency’s receipts for that year going over the $2,000,000 mark. For the fiscal year 1936, Philatelic Agency receipts totaled $1,846,263, the highest previous normal year. Four years ago, in the fiscal year 1933, stamp sales through the agency amounted to only $302,619. James B. Hatcher, writing for the Associated Press Feature Service, says: “Almost eleven centuries have rolled by since two brothers from Thessa- lonica carried the faith of Christ to the Bulgarians of Thrace and Moesia. Today these heroes, 8ts. Cyril and Methodius, are being honored by Bul- garia in a new set of five stamps. Two designs are used. On the l-leva, green; 2-leva, puce, and 7-leva, blue, the saints are drawn full-face, side by side, framed by s character-filled border with their names at either side. On the 4-leva, red orange, and 14- leva, scarlet, the saints are standing at one side, preaching to & crowd, while one of them holds aloft a radiant Bible. Cyril (827-869) fought the Oriental influences at Kherzon and found the relics of Clement of Rome. His name is connected with the inven- tion of the modified or Cyrillic form of the Greek alphabet. Methodius (825-885) was a high official of Mace- donia before he donned monk’s rodes. He became an archbishop in Pan- nonia. Czechslovakia issued three stamps picturing the same holy men in 1935.” The Rene Descartes stamp of France, scheduled for release May 24, was withdrawn on the day of issue be- cause of an error in an Mmacription text. A revised edition now is ready. Great Britain is bringing out & new trait of King George VI. All remaining copies of the Edward VIII type of the same denomination are to be destroyed. ‘The Post Office Department is con- sidering the authorization of a stamp to commemorate the sesqui-centennial of the framing of the Constitution. Indications are that it will be a 3-cent value, perhaps bi-colored, red and blue, with Independence Hall repre- sented in the central vignette. Phila- delphia is the obvious city for first-day release, and the date should be Sep- teraber 17. Reports from the Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing, informal in char- acter but reasonably definite, suggest that Director Alvin W. Hall is making & study of paper used in the manufac- ture of stamps. Improvement in qual- ity may follow. A recent issue of the New Yorker magazine contained a drawing by Alan Dunn representing p post office clerk saying to a lady patron: “If you should visit any of the National parks, kindly mention that you saw it on one of our stamps.” Plans for the 52nd annual conven- tion of the American Philatelic Bociety, to be held at the Hotel Statler, Detroit, Monday to Friday, August 30 to September 3, inclusive, are approaching completion. Features of the program will be an exhibition, bourse, auction and banguet. ‘Washington friends of Eugene Kiein have received from him first-day covers of the international exhibition miniature sheet which France brought out for the opening of this years greatest stamp show.

As Greeting Miss Florence Marshall Finances Vacation Trips by Talent. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. A secretary by day in the general counsel’s office of the internal revenue section of the United States Treasury Department and a successful writer of greeting card verses, rhymes and jingles after buriness hours is Miss Florence E. Marshall of 3620 Sixteenth street. About 15 years ago, shortly after her appointment to her present civil service position from her native town of Weare, N. H, Miss Marshall, who had always had a great interest in greeting cards, was window shopping after office hours in front of sn F street store which had a large sea- sonal display on view. Suddenly the thought occurred to her: Somebody must write the verses on these cards. She wondered if she could not try her hand at it. She walked into the shop and confided her budding hope to the good-natured proprietor, who permitted her to look on the greeting card ooxes for the names and addresses of their pub- lishers. Fortifid with this informa- tion and several types of the pro- prietor’s most attractive greeting cards a3 samples of what she had discovered she was yearning to do, she hurried home and started to write verses for all the different kinds of 3reeting cards she could ever rememoer having seen. Sheet after sheel was filled with her scribblings, and the bell from a nearby church was striking midnight's hour before she desisted. Then she blithely sent them off to the greeting Jcard publishing houses and eagerly awaited each wail thereafter to learn her fate. In time, each, save one, came back with a printed rfusal slip. This lone publisher, while declining her offering, intimated an interest in birthday verses. Finds Initial Success. Forthwith she dispatched this one to him. “When you get as old as I am, This comfort you can take, You'll have to blow more candles, | But you get a bigger cake.” } Its immediate acceptance marked a red letter day in her life with its ac- companying check at the rate of one doliar a line, as well as the trend that many of her leisure moments was henceforth to take. “I just never shall forget the thrill 1 had when I opened the envelope that | contained that check and beheld it gazing up at me from the inclosure of | its accompanying letter of acceptance,” she enthused. “I remember, too. thinking that it ought to be dedicated | | to some one’s birthday in my family | and as my little 6-year-old niece | Elizabeth’s natal day was near at ' hand, I spent it for a birthday present | | Card Versifier MISS FLORENCE MARSHALL: —Harris-Ewing Photo. for her, and was more than rewarded in her joy in her birthday gift.” This first acceptance was followed by many more, “and quite as many refusals,” Miss Marshall frankly ad- mitted. ‘“However,” she adds, “My successes seemed to buoy me up to trying a bit harder either to remodel my returned efforts and send them forth again hoping for a kindlier fate at the hands of another publishing house, or to view them analytically enough to realize that they weren't very good anyhow and were probably better off at not seeing the light of day.” School of Experience. ““This trial and error method was my school of experience,” Miss Marshall confessed, “and as I look back, I am fully aware that I chiefly learned ‘what not to do by doing it.” “Gradually, too, I came to know,” she said, “that there are over 100 different kinds of greeting cards with birthday, Christmas and Easter greet- ing cards the best sellers. Next in popularity are what are known as the friendship, special anniversary, con- valescence and sucessful journey cards with Mother's and Father's day cards mounting into growing popularity with each succeeding year. There is also a growing trend toward ‘Thank You' cards and ‘Wedding Congratu- lation’ sentiments, it being evident from their increasing popularity that they must be taking the place of letters with many people. “More and more Valentine day cards are also being sold, especially those with a humorous twist. There is likewise developing a market for high type cards of condolence.” In meeting the greeting card market, Miss Marshall emphasized “the need of adapting greeting card verses to| the moods and thoughts of all kinds of people. Perhaps,” she mused, “the necessary swing from the frivolous and gay to the sad, and to all the other different types of cards that the public seems to require and will pur- SUNDAY CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Heard on the Fourth.

The first card of her own authorship which Miss Marshall came across upon a store counter was a Mother's day greeting which she promptly pur- chased and sent to her own mother in New England. Underneath a picture of pickets on strike, it read as follows: “Mothers never ask a raise, Never go on strike; Heaven help us if tbey did, What would this world be like.” Her mother, she added, “was de- lighted with my thoughtfulness and the fact that the verse was of my own composition, but confidently declared she believed she might do as well if not better were she to try.” “I thereupon threw down a chal- lenge to her,” Miss Marshall said with an affectionate smile of remembrance, “which she took up with such ven- geance that until her death, she was one of my doughtiest competitors in all the different flelds of greeting card rhyming.” With the income derived from her authorship of greeting cards, Miss Marshall has taken a European vaca- tion and financed other travel ex- periences and pet hobbies. She has learned to be systematic in following the lure of this creative avo- cation of hers as well as to economize on the amount of time she gives to it. Her present day pocket books are purchased with the thought in mind that they must hold the inevitable small-sized loose-leaf note book which invariably accompany her wherever she goes. In them she jots down ideas going to and from her office work as she rides the streed cars and buses, or in taxis even when upon pleasure excursions intent. These jottings are afterward classified and arranged with similar ideas when she reaches home. Inspired by Acceptances. Miss Marshall admits to doing her best work when she is happy over an acceptance, but likewise gets a chal- lenge and a zest from a returned offering that is often vastly stimulat- ing and energizing. For the source of many of her ideas she depends upon books, current. car- toons and events in newspapers and magazines, unusual phrases at the movies or in ordinary conversation or old sayings emphasized from new slants. By way of illustrating the last mentioned, she quoted the follow- ing mistletoe card sold for the Christ- mas trade which brought her $2 for its six words: “Not all opportunities knock, some hang.” seller was this birthday greeting card which picked up the phrase, “Non- stop flight” at the time when Lind- bergh made his first record flight across the Atlantic. “May you beat the world's record In your non-stop flight 5 To a land that will never grow old. | | The following one, too, has proven | voyage line. It usually appears below [ | | upon the side of a steamer chair. “I'se heard of food that won't stay down On shipboard when folks eat. So hang this sign around your throat. ‘This am & one-way street.’ " Today Miss Marshall selis her greet- ing card verse to publishers in Great all over the United States. “British and Canadian publishing houses.” she said, “are almost quite as good cus- tomers just now as the Ameflta‘n ones, but far more oonservative in their tastes and requirements.” One for $60. Prices generally are lower, although sales are brisk. The average price of a greeting card verse is now from 25 to 50 cents a line. It used to range | from 60 cents to $1 | dividual check in any one mail was for $60: her smallest to date averaged 60 cents. Usually she puts three greeting card verses a day as her “stint.” Not long ago on a special rush order from a certain publishing house, she put out 100 in an evening. She found the pressure so stimulating for a few herself to the task because of the thrill of accomplishment that ensued hour of borning. | though, that she could never produce her trusty note book at hand with their ideas stored up against this hour of need.

This telescope was built sev- eral years ago by C. C. Diller of the Bureau of Standards and erected on the site of the old university observa- tory, which was burned nearly 20 years 2go. Thne spot is also the site of a first- order triangulation station established in 1934 by the Coast and Geodetic Burvey, which is used by the civil en- gineering students during the regular academic year in making their surveys and solving their problems. The Blackfriars Institute of Wash- ing is conducting the courses in dramatic art, stage direction and con- struction, being offered for the first time in the Summer session. Class work is supplemented by actual labora- tory work in these fields, covering every aspect of the stage, including make-up, set design and construction, lighting, play writing, organizing and direction, for the children's theater, amateur and semi-professional groups. The institute has organized a series of plays, which are a part of the in- struction and laboratory work.
