for the money valuation which might
be placed upon it.
Begun about forty years ago. its
growth has been continuous, and from
time to time many choice pieces have
been added to it from other collec-
tions which have been broken up.
Neither Representative Ackernan nor
dividual specimens are at present in
the collection. but rough estimate
is that there must be in excess of
half million stamps. Many Of these,
however, are of little market value,
and throughout the whole collection
there are comparatively few single
stamps which command high prices.
This philatelic expert attempted to
make a comparison between the Ack-
erman collection and the famous coll
lection upon which King George of
England has devoted SO much time
and study, but he was unable to make
satisfactory comparison because of
the great dissimilarity between the
two collections. The collection of King
George is confined to the stamps of
Great Britain and the British colonies
throughout the world. The Ackerman
collection has been built upon broader
lines, embracing practically every
government upon the face of the earth.
To American collectors and 10 those
philatelists of every country to whom
the beautifully engraved stamps of
the United States hold special charm
and especially here in Washington,
where they are made-the Alderman
collection makes a strong appeal. The

Of practically every variety of every
stamp which the United States gov
ernment has issued, and a great many
Of the used stamps bear postmarks
and cancellations of considerable rar-
ity and great historical and philatelic
interest In many cases specimens
are represented not only as single
stamps, but also in the form of unsev-
cred pairs, strips, blocks and even en-
tire sheets.
Representative Ackernan has taken
keen delighI, in acquiring. letters and
envelopes. particularly in the early
issues, which still have on them the
stamps that paid the postal charges.
These old covers" as philatelists call
them. vividly recall the days when
two-cent postage was hardly dreamed
the world required an amount of post
age that today would seem, and in
deed would be. truly exorbitant.
Letters from America to Hong Kong

age for a single rate; letters to New

six silver medals were conferred by
the Secretary Of the Treasury. They
were in recognition of acts Of hero
ism in many parts Of the world.
Layton Oeder. a private in the
United States army, for example, was
given a silver medal for rescuing from
the river Moselle, in Germany, two
boys whose boat had overturned. The
place Of the rescue being within the
territory occupied by American troops,
the honor was apropos, even though
the persons saved were foreigners and
on foreign soil

1920 to George H. knaepple. chief

Navy fireman, were working on a
raft in the river near Detroit, Mich.
The raft was struck by a passing

but, despite his injuries. got hold of
Hansen, who was about to sink for
the last time, and pulled him back on

THE only civilians awarded medals
that year were James Macdonald,
Joseph Graham, Ora Endress and Am
brose Graham for assisting coast
guard crew in rescuing seventeen
persons from the wrecked steamer H.
E. Runnels, off Grand Marias, Mich.
The coast guardsmen who partici-
pated, under the direction Of John o.
Anderson, keeper Of the station, also
were given gold medals. The rescues
were made in a binding snowstorm
in the face of high seas and tempera-
tura SO low that the decks of the
wrecked vessel were covered with
ice. The rescuers were swept into
the water several times, but no one Of
them was lost.

eral government has jurisdiction or
have to do with persons on an Amer
lean ship in foreign waters. 1t also
is available to those who make sig
nal exertions in rescuing or succor-
ing the shipwfecked. Hence many
coast guardsmen are given medals for
heroic work in handling wrecks along
the coast, even though the work does
not comprise the actual saving Of per-
sons from drowning.
Literature Of the United States
coast guard, which administers it,
contains no information bearing on
why the law was passed. 1t was
initiated probably out of desire to
provide means for encouraging men,
bers of the life-saving service, now
a branch Of the coast guard. in max
ing the maximum of sacrifices in per-
forming their duties and for giving
special recognition to those who per-
form notable work. 1t, of course, is
the paid duty of the coast guards
men to save life. and many persons
who are not paid for it often risk
their lives in rescuing persons from

made for recognising heroic work on
the part of professional life-savers
it was provided also that any one else
making like exertions should be en-
titled to similar honors from the
government.
The first medals were given in 1875
to Hubbard N. Clemons, A. J. Clemons
and Lucien NJ. Clemons, members of
the life-saving service. They manned
a station on Lake Erie near Marble
head, Ohio. The medals were for
rescuing two of the crew of the
schooner Consuelo, wrecked near
Kelleys Island. Lake Erie, on May /,
1876.
The third granting of medals was
to twenty-seven members Of an Eng
lish lifeboat crew who rescued eight
American sailors from the American
steamship Ellen Southard, which was
sunk at the mouth of the river Mer-
sey, on the English coast, September
2s, 1875.
