POSTAGE STAMP
Third Assistant P. M. Gen.
Says Proposed Change in
Designs Is Necessary
PRESENT ISSUE
INVITES ERRORS

WAsHINGToN.-w. Irving Glow
er. third assistant postmaster gem
eral. replied to criticisms reported
In some quarters to the proposed
changes in designs OF postage stamps
which the Postmaster General now
has under consideration.
Mr.. Glover In a formal statement
said the impression seems 70 pre-
vail that the new issue OF stamps
was proposed because OF a desire
Of stamp collectors for new designs.
when on the contrary changes were
under consideration In the designs
entirely because the best interests
OF the service warrant II.
"In response to appeals OF the
Postmaster General for suggestions
for the betterment OF the postal SER
vice thousands OF letters suggesting
a new issue Of postage stamps have
been received from employees of the
postal service. who have pointed out
the advisability Of a more distinct
variation in designs for postage
stamps. as well as colors that do not
possess striking similarity" he said.
The department knows that thou
sands of dollars in revenue are lost
yearly in the postal service. due to
striking similarity in stamps, as well
as little deviation in color, which
prevents postal employees from de-
tecting short-paid matter. This liza
bility. to error Is increased by can
collation. which often obllterates the
numeral on the stamps to such an
xtent Siat errors cannot be detect
ed promptly.
I'm fact. the present issue bears so
many features alike that errors now
made in handling mail with these
stamps attached are in the majority
Of cases excusable. Particularly is
this true in many OF the larSer post
Offices. where artificial light is nee
essarily being used. Inasmuch as
the stamps from 1 TO Z cents de-
bear the portrait OF

Don't Burn Our Forests.

The most dangerous period Of the
year except June in the way of forest
fires, the season when dry leaves litter
the ground, is near. To guard the
remnants of Wisconsin's forests
against fire requires thought o. the
part of everybody who camps IN or
tours through the North Woods
Forest fires are started in several
ways Lightning is one cause and
when fire starts from this source, the
only thing to do. OF course, is to fight
the iEcip!ent flames at the earliest
possible moment
Then there are the sparks from
locomotives Much has been done TO
prevent fires Of this kind. The in
stailation of spark arIesters and
greater vigilance on the part OF train
men have yielded excellent results.
Danger from this source, however,
remains very considerable.
Fires started to clear land often
get out of control and inlet serious
damage This menace is so great
that there is no little talk of prohibit
ing the use of fire TO clear land dur
ing dry periods
Another danger comes from fires
started by road builders to destroy
brush and trees cnt down along the
right OF way
Because of the extensive manner il
which the construction Of roads il
now under way, danger from this
source has greatly increased. Re
curing contractors to follow certain
necessary rules Ia regard to burning
debris might result in no little good
Without meaning to be so, the
camper, the hunter and the fisher
man are often foes of the forest.
Frequently they build camp fires too
big, they leave camp fires unguarded

exiinguish fires with water or sand

Of metals and the skill of an apothe-
carys seventeen-year- old son caused
the discovery Of the celebrated Ores
den ware. The king was Augustus Of
Saxony and the boy was BOttiger, who
composed a tincture that was supposed
10 be capable Of being transformed III
to gold. But being a genius wasn't
much fun for BOtuger, for the king
locked him in a complete laboratory
and refused him freedom, "ODair'
writes in the Milwaukee Sentinel. The
restraint almost unbalanced the boys
mind. "He famed at the mouth and
knocked his head against the wall and
trembled so violently that two soldiers
could not hold him. And he drank
u cans of beer a day without getting
drunk" 1t was thought advisable TO
move the boy to Dresden and give him
certain liberty. While continuing his
experiments there ne discovered the
Meissen porcelain, commonly called
Dresden china This discovery re
jOiced Augustus and he spent large
sums in constructing the Japan pal
ace. Many workmen came from Delft
to make the new ware and soon all
Europe was buying Nielsen.
In gratitude the king gave BOttiger
his freedom, ring With his effigy, two
apes, young bear and credit with
the royal banker, and In addition the
profits from the porcelain factory for
life.
But what do you think BOttiger
