District Engineer Commissioner. DIR.
Ballou stated that there was no room
to place sidewalks on the west side
of Colorado avenue in the vicinity of
the school as a measure of protection
for the children, but advocated the
Thirteenth street frightening as d
more important step.
DIR. Ballou discussed the appropri-

the District, and suggested that the
first decisions would be rendered on
the most pressing school needs AS a
whole. He pointed out that citizen
ship undertakings were more import
ant than merely large attendance at
meetings. There were Is people pres.

present voiced dissatisfaction at the

FLORIDA DENIED RIGHT
TO BRING TAX LAWSUIT
Supreme Court Refuses to Allow
State to Attack Federal
Measure.

Florida yesterday was denied by the
Supreme Court leave to challenge the
constitutionality Of that section of the
Federal inheritance law which credits
TO the extent of so per cent Of the
Federal tax on estates inheritance
taxes paid States on the same estates.
Through it's attorney general,
Florida had sought to bring a pro-
ceeding to have the law declared I'M
constitutional because of it's provision
allowing credits for taxes paid under
State inheritance levies.
AS it has no State inheritance tax,
Florida commended that this provision
was discriminatory, and was designed
to force States to levy on inherited
estates.
The Supreme Court denied the State
attorney general the privilege of
bringing formal suit attacking the

In the files of the War Department
is an old, unsigned document listing
some of the proudest names of the
South as deserters from the Confed-

been Wrongfully accused, a movement
has been initiated to clear them.
But the way to vindication may be

Nor is it only in geography that we
find our minds illuminated by the
study of our stamp book. 1t opens for
us the pages of our history.
Consider for example, the history
of the British settlements in North
America. At the end of what is called
the Colonial period in American his
tory there was great dissatisfaction
over what was called the Stamp Act,
which compelled all the people to use
stamps made in England.
AS a result, Thomas jefferson. de-
signed the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, which said. when in the
course of human events a country gets
large enough to have stamps of it's
own, it becomes a free and indepen-
| dent state and deserves to be recog-
| nized as such by the International
Postal Union"
Even the most recent history can be
understood If examined in the light of
the stamp album. Thus in the year
| 1914 there broke out what is called
the Great War, which began between
the German imperial field kitchen and
the French commiSsiariat parcel post.

head as the design. the country is
placed under king, the person Sc
lected for the king having the kind
of features needed for a stamp. The
British Royal family makes such eX-
cellent stamps that it Is thought that
they will be kept at the head of Great
Britain for a long time to come. On
the other hand, the Emperor of Brazil
had to be deposed in 1889. his whiskers
being too large to go through the
post.
In other countries, it is decided that
the Goddess of Liberty has a more
beautiful face than a king, and so
these countries are called republics
and they elect new stamp every few
years. Sometimes, when face de-
sign is wanted, a competition is held.
Years ago the Goddess of Liberty
came from Cedar Rapids High School,
Iowa, and last year one was got from
Bangor, Maine. But generally speak
ing, the Goddess of Liberty does not
exist, but Is just made up.
Amy boy who is fortunate enough to
possess a stamp album takes new
interest In geography and must often
wish he could take trip around the
world. No doubt in his mind he often
lmagines such a voyage.
Sailing. let me say, from the harbor
of New York (which is of no impor-
lance. as it issues no stamps), he
passes after few days sail the great
islands Trinidad and Tobago, which
issued their first stamps in 1881, and
