A Strong Contrast.

'Centenarians Two" is good
title and good subject for the first
issue Of our Sunday Magazine Of the
New Year. The fact that 1t Is written
by Clarence L. Cullen will add to the an
ticipatory and realized pleasure Of our
readers, for every one Of them knows
what fine entertainer he is. The writer
went searching for centenarians so he
could find the recipe for living that long.
He found two. about as widely apart In
dividuais as would be possible in human
beings. One Of them was q wizened
peevish bunch of brittle bones who hated
everybody and everything, particularly
any individual that ever took q drink Of
intoxicant or a smoke Of tobacco or went
to theater. He was alive at. lO4, but
he was as physically tottering as he had
begun to totter mentally decades before.
But the 'other-a great, big, burly, huge
voiced, healthy. strapping son Of the
seas. who tossed on his rum with the
activity ofsa young swashbuckler. who
smoked pipefuls of black tobacco, ate
heartily at all times of the day and night
and slept like q log-looked like a healthy
man OF sixty. though he was two years
older than the first one Mr.. Cullen inter-
viewed.
It's q fine contrast that this author
found.

AGAINST "OLIVE DRAB."
Not So Cool as Khaki Uniform, Say

After years Of experiments. having
evolved in the "olive-drab" uniform wha
appeared the ideal raiment for troops

tropics, the army quartermasters now
are c. --cnted by a report made to Sur
geon General Torney by the army board
for the study of tropical diseases show
ing that the fabric is not a good one for
use In time OF peace.
1t is true that the olive drab is more
nearly invisible than any other color,
that It withstands better the bleaching
effects of the tropical sun. and that It 1.
more agreeable than the khaki which 1t
replaced. But the army surgeons say.
after exhaustive experiments in the
Philippines. that the khaki is much cool

made In the uniforms. the surgeons say.

$4,000 PROFIT ON NINE STAMPS

than $1,000 on a small lot of envelopes

The collector was passing the house
of man who handled curiosltles OF
various kinds, when the dealer called
him in to take a look at nine stamped
envelopes. The dealer said he knew
nothing about stamps and would like
to know what the collector would give
for them.
zone hundred dollars apiece. or 5000
for the lot of nine pieces, came the
prompt reply of the collector.
"Oh. l don't want to stick YOU SAID
the dealer. Il offered these Identical
stamps to well known stamp dealer
here in town for $35 each and he re-
piled he would give only $25 apiece.
Never you mind" said the collector
the 5000 goes, and I am glad to have
the chance
The envelopes or letters had been
sent from Baltimore in the forties.
Five of them bore two stamps, While
the other four had only single stamp
each. The letters We're written be-
fore the United States adopted the adj
hesive postage stamp and at time
when the postmaster of each large
city issued his own stamps. Ire
postmaster of Baltimore at this tine
was James M. Buchanan.

velopes showed a circle. Above the

The collector had no difficulty in
disposing of his stamps for $4,000, and
still has in his possession a specimen
OF the compound envelope, which is
easily worth $1,000.
From what can be learned these
early envelopes with hand stamped
