can history class Of the Shepherd
College State Normal School, Shep-
herdstown, W.. Va. petition that
the PostofHce Department again issue

which was recently abandoned. E
The petition declares that the on
tire history Of the United States Is
bound up III the figure 13 and gives
the following historical reasons why
the l3-cent stamp should be issued.>
America was discovered ,on the
night Of the 18th of the month.
The republic originally consisted
Of 13 colonies a. #g
The first official flag had 13 stars
and 13 stripes.
The American Eagle" requires 13
letters to spell it, as does also the
motto, "E Pluribus Unum."
The. first word to pass over the
transatlantic cable was transmitted
on the 18th Of the month.
The silver quarter is written all
over with 13: Around the head Of
Liberty are IS stars; the eagle bears
an olive brand, with 13 leaves In ono
claw and 13 thunderbolts in the
other. On his breast Is shield bear
ing 13 bars, and in his beak is a rib
bon bearing the motto with 13 let
ters; each wing has 3 feathers, and
1t takes 13 letters to spell quarter
dollar"
There are 13 letters in John Paul
Jones name.
There were 13 ships in the first
American navy. %.
Perry's victory on Lake Erie was
won on the 18th of the month.
The StarsS and Stripes were raised
over Fort Sumter on the 18th of the
month.
Gen. Pershing arrived In France
on June 13,1917.
The 18th amendment to The Con-
stitution freed the negro slaves.
1t would not cost any more to
make 13-cent stamp than any other
one.
The petition to Postmaster General
Work also suggests several designs
for the stamp, all commemorating
the 13 colonies.

Christmas Neckties.

Some individual with leisure and
curious mind has Agured out that 90
out Of every 100 men receive necktie
rs Christmas gift. The estimate Is
conservative, but how many Of the
neckties so bestowed are worn by their
recipients? The giving Of neckties Is q
perilous proceeding always, for neck
tie Is essentially a matter Of ndi-
vidual taste. Many n man gets neck
wear at Christmas that lie could read

or drape, but that he would wear
