He traveled in Europe for two years, his observations combined with his.already acquired knowledge of American Jore giv- ing him a rich store of material for his literary work. After some early writings with rather indifferent success, his “History of New York ‘by Diedrick Knickerbocker” ap- peared in 1809 and placed him in the posi- tion of the first American to .win inter- ‘national fame solely as.a man of letters, its q "hymor-and felicitious style winning hon ‘both sides .of:the At- His subsequent works weren imo: Wiformly swecessful and covered a wide | H}) range, including history and biograptiy, as well as,many unusual tales of rare charm. | The death of Matilda ‘Hoffman, a sweet- heart of Irving’s youth, cast a shadow over | his life and he never married. ‘He died at ee VILL alwaya.seok the truth aud print-it mitnovt -fear .and without -favor; never be safraid -to attack wrong or to applaud -right; -always fight for-progress; never be the or- | faction or class;-always do {ts utmost for the public welfare; never tolerate corruption or inj: tea; denounce viee and praise virtue; commend good done by individual or organ. — ‘Words are good when works follow.

We just can’t got it into our thick head that ‘Felix Frankfurter is one of the’ smartest of the brain trusters and linked with the president's recovery plan. We still think the most narrowminded person is the one who's always -talking about ¢¥ery one-else not being © broad- mindedenough to see his point of view. Newapaper uote: “John Smith, who died Yesterday, had recently suffered severe financial reverses and left his wife and six children as poor as they were when he was married.” England was so perturbed over the shooting of a London policeman, not seri- ously, that-they tracked down the criminal in two days. In this country we'd hardly give it a second thought.—Bradenton Herald. the age of 76. STAMP HOBBY PRAISED The educational value of stamp col- lecting was pointed out in.a recent address by a high postal official, who told of -the department to this widespread and grow- ing hobby. ‘He expressed the belief that younys people who devote a portion of their spare time.to stamp collecting add much to the knowledge gained in school, particularly } with reference to history.and. geography. For: example, the life of ‘Washington means more to the young person who has made a collection of postage stamps bear- ing his likeness, and the same holds true with reepect to other “presidents and na- tional leaders who have been*honored by stamp issues. Stamps issued in .com- memoration of historical events serve a similar purpose, while a study of foreign stamps leads to a desire for more knowl- edge concerning the countries represented. In.order to facilitate . collectors, the Post Office Department in 1921 estab- lished a sales agency in Washington, known as the Philatelic Agency, where stamps not found on sale in local post of- fices may be secured. The business of supplying stamps ‘to collectors has been developed by private individuals and firms until .it\shas ‘become ‘ah extensive industry, aid’ raré \bamps bring high:prices.

CRIME From investigation by the National Crime ‘Commission, ithas. been disclosed that a‘highly organized system of “fences,” as receivers and disposers of stolen goods are called; handle more. than -$500,000,000 worth of Joot each year. Newton W. Baker, former Secretary of War, who is chairman of:the €ommis- sion,. declares. that the lone burglar is now a rarity, and that well organized gangs are plying their thieving trade along ef- ficient business lines. In order to do this they must have definite outlets for the.property stolen. If | these could be eliminated, Mr. Baker: be- | Jieves that the total thefts would be largely réduced, While police and other officers of the law are aware of this condition, and generally do what they canto break up these “fences,” there is need for greater co-operation on the part ofthe public in keeping a lookout for places of this charac- ter and promptly-repaorting them -to the authorities. Losses suffered by the public from thefts, burglary and robbery almost equal the destruction by-fire. If-these losses are to be lessened there must be “increased yigilance on the part of all citizens and a greater determination to aid in putting criminal gangs out of business, “\the membership of the +}'@hiy When form l cogs REY ODAY’S KEY WESTIN | | DAYS GONE BY I ‘Ago Today As Taken From j The Files Of The Citizen | The Citizen has received an in-| yitation from Mayor .Frank H.
