STAMP COLLECTORS
THRONG To OFFICE
BELGIAN CAPITAL
(By Associated Press.)

HAVRE, Dec. 16.-The little branch
postoffice in the district of Ste. Ad
reese, Havre, is now the most import
ant in the world in the view of stamp
collectors. 1t falls within the Sec
ton of the city temporarily made over
to Belgium as its capital, and as such
is on Belgian SOIL A letter posted
there, even if destined only for another
part of Havre, must carry the full for
eign postal rate of 25 centimes, or five
cents.
1t is not due to the fact of a Belgian
stamp being used, but to the postmark
of Havre on the stamp that makes it
valuable to philatellists.
During the office hours stamp col
lectors stand in line in Ste Ad reese.
The greatest sale is of postcards with
the embossed stamp of five confines,
two stamps of two centimes and one OF
one, making a total value of two cents
They buy the entire issue, which they
usually stick on an envelope addressed
to themselves and have them cancelled
Immediately at the window. But the
most valuable collection is one placed
on an official envelope marked and
signed by the mail censor. 1t is thus
a triple souvenir.
If it we're not for the collectors, this
Belgian office would do small bust
ness. But in view of the stamps can
celled for the sake of the postmark, it
is probably the best paying Office of its
size in any part of the globe.

:, stems of roads were devised for d

been assigned to make special inspec-

A new division in the office has
been created during the past year
called the Division of National Park
and Forest Roads," which is to COOP
crate with the department of the inte-
rior in improving the roads in some Of
the national parks and with the forest
service in road and trail construction
in national forest reserves. Congress
mas provided that 10 per cent. of the
receipts of the forest service shall be
expended in constructing roads and
trails within the national forests. AS
indicating the scope of this work, it
may be stated that the money avail
able for this amounted to s239,1 in
1913.
Lectures and addresses were deliv-
cred in nearly every state of the I'M

road conventions. Exhibits consistins
of models and enlarged photographs

Havre from Switzerland, where the
German official news is sent for dis

The report is headed, "Germanaj

undertaken during the past year, ac-
cording to the recently issued annual

for the up-keep of these roads by the
counties through which they pass, on
condition that the federal government
will provide engineers who shall su-
pervise the project so that it may be
