To Bedeck Stamps
i'm Many New Colors

Changing the United States stamps
has been going on for fifty years.
Since 1S47 eight complete changes Of
design have been made in the United
States postage stamps. These changes
were made in 1S51-'61-'69 1902
'0S-12.
The new stamp series from one cent
to II cents follows the custom Of
commemorating great figures in Amer
lean history. The picture of Benjamin
FRANKLIN, the first postmaster general,
adorns the one-cent stamp. That Of
Washington appears on the two-cent
stamp. Theodore Roosevelt, for the
first time, enters the roll of national
heroes to be commemorated on United
States postage. An excellent engrav-
ure Of the portrait Of him Is on the
five-cent stamp, which is most fire.
quently used on foreign mails. For the
first time the portrait of woman ap-
pears on United States postage
Martha Washington's portrait being
engraved on the four-cent stamp. The
other Americans portrayed are Presi.
dents Jefferson, Monroe. Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield. Mckinley and
Cleveland.
History to Be Portrayed.
All stamps above II cents bear pic
lures Of some theme symbolic Of Amer
lean history or some noted building
or scene located In the United States.
The new 50-cent stamp has an en-
graved picture of the arlington amphi-
theater showing the tomb of the Amer
ican unknown soldier. The 81 stamp
has reproduction Of the majestic
Lincoln memorial.
The $5 stamp Is regarded as the
crowning glory of the series. 1t Is
larger than the others and Is In the
national colors, the border being red,
the face blue and the background
white. The head Is that of the Amer
lean goddess. taken from the figure on
the dome of the Capitol. The Indian
head on the 14-cent stamp is that of
Hollow Horn Bear, personal friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, who marched In
Roosevelt's inaugural parade.
Unired States stamps are made by
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
by the same workmen who engrave
and print government bank notes. The
stamps are printed. from intaglio-en-
graved plates on presses that turn out
100000 "a day each. This may seem
a large. output. but in the last fiscal
year the government sold 14,31o, $780,
063 stamps. Twenty-slx per cent of
this output was one-cent stamps and
"a per cent two-cent stamps The
manufacture Of United States stamps
takes 100000 pounds Of raw paper,
made from spruce. The annual de-
mand consumes 20 acres of spruce
timber.

Government lust Completes Re-
vision of Entire Series OF
U. S. Postage Stamps.

Washington.-The American govern
ment has just completed revision OF
the entire series of United States
postage stamps by the issuance OF Il
different kinds In new colors and new
faces. In the new series one denomi-
nation - the 13-cent stamp - was
dropped and two new denominations
are added, 14-cent stamp and a %
cent stamp. The elimination OF the
13-cent stamp was due to the discon-
tinuance Of the three-cent wartime
postage, which made 1t In great de-
mand. The issuance Of the 14-cent ana
25-cent stamps is due to their great
demand in mailing parcel post.
The decisionCto change the designs
was based almost wholly upon the
need Of ascertaining more accurately
what mail matter had postage due.
The issue of stamps just discontinued
were similar In portrait, color ana
shape. All the stamps under the old
issue. from one to seven-cent denomi-
nations, had the portrait OF Washing
ron. Those from eight cents to SO had
the portrait of Franklin. In many
cases the colors were but slightly diff
ferent. In addition to this similarity
there was the additional difficulty Of
obliteration of the numerals on the
stamps by cancellation marks. These
factors combined to make 1t extremely
difficult to detect errors In postage.
All this Is eliminated by the new issue,
in which each stamp bears dlstinc-
tive portrait, distinctive color, and
those more susceptible to confusion
have distinctive shape.
