their boyhood days passed through the
stamp collecting age. Stamps were
bought, sold and snapped, and in many
instances some very creditable collec-
tions started. The small boys collec-
ton was usually limited by his lack of
pocket money but it is safe to say that
he learned nearly as much geography
through the study of foreign stamps
as he did in school. The boy who keeps
on with his stamp collecting will find
it a never-ending source of interest and
study, and may at some future time
find that he has something extremely
valuable as well as something which
does not decrease in value as time goes
on.

counsel for the government claims that
the war is not over and that "it would

prevent the government from getting
