POSTAGE STAMPS

The scarcity and high price Of ma
terlais are affecting even our postage
stamps. For years the bureau Of en-
craving has used watermarked paper
in making stamps, but owing 10 the
fact that watermarked paper OF the
qualgy required for this process is
not always ob,alna5le watermarking
has been discontinued altogether.
Dyes for coloring the stamps are also
mt a premium. Instead OF purchasing
them from one source-Germany-as
the government was able to do before
the war. they are now secured from
different dyemakers Ia this country.
No two dyemakers working separate
ly are able always to obtain exactly
the same shades: consequently the
coiorings of the stamps often vary.
