WASHINGTON, March 19.-Ern- est R. Alderman of New Jersey is known on capitol hill as the most widely travelled Congressman" He could easily claim the title of the worlds best umbrella preserver' and be reasonably certain that it would go unchalleneged.
 For Alderman has an umbrella that he has carried for more than 40 years It has been his compan- ion on 100 steamer voyages into all parts Of the world during 600,000 miles of travel It has protected him from the tropical sun and tor rental rains for ell of these years, and although in style it is some what antiquated, it's owner is still confident that it's period of useful ness is not yet over.
 There are few places in the world that have not seen Alderman and his famous umbrella. For half century he has pursued a hobby from one end of the earth to the other. So successful has he been in his pursuit that he is known today in philaetlic circles as one of the greatest collectors of stamps in the world.

 After 10 or Is years at sea the desire to roam is on the wane; at least that is how I found it. Why I wanted to travel and seek adven- tire do not know, for I certainly did not inherit the trait.

 It was in May, 1919, when I met Miss Laura Parmenter at a dinner aboard the America. I was navi- gator with the rank of lieutenant. Miss Parmenter was young, viva cious, pretty with black, flashing eyes and a beautiful smile. They say opposites attract. I watched her intently during the dinner and arranged later for theatre party the following night, together with another of the ships officers and a young lady. She was living in New York with an aunt and uncle, but was Q native of Cincinnati. I met her aunt and uncle and lost

Political Weapon

Ackerman's knowledge of philate- iy convinced him that he had a powerful weapon in these stamps. Accordingly he took the Russian envelope and displayed it at var ious places in his tour of tine coun- ties in his district, illustrating what he believed might happen to the United States if ever the American people permitted Bolshevlsm or un- sound economic theories to obtain a foothold.
 His majority over his opponent was in excess of 1000 votes.

is such an ardent philatelist. For in his last campaign his hobby played part in re-electing him to Congress.
 In one of the most stirring per iods of his campaign, Alderman came across an envelope which con- tained a letter from Russia The postage on the letter was paid by many sheets of Russian stamps- 1852 stamps in all The letter was about 6x10 to begin with, and the extra stamps trailed off. The value of the stamps was 4O6,25O rubles Before the World War this number of rubles would have equaled $207,- l3750 in United States currency. However, at the time the letter was sent, they were only sufficient to pay the equivalent of 15 American cents worth of postage.

He simply threw out his anchor, pulled himself down into the water, hand over hand, rescued his teeth, came to the surface, lifted anchor and went on his way His feat, or what ever it was, became known here when he returned from his fish ing trip.

"ROSSY" GTLIIS' VICTORY

"Bossy" Gillis now realizes better than ever that to put on a good show counts for som ething in politics. This mayoral mountebank is New Eng lands best snowman, the one mayor in New England whose name is known from coast 10 coast" His antics have received as much pub licity as Hollywood divorces. Like a stalVart believer in the power Of printers ink. he has advertised Newburyport in a manner that it's Chamber Of Commerce might well envy, This enormous advertising has been free.
 Mayor Gillis appears to have ap- pealed to ma ajority of his towns people as somebody who has done more for the town than anyone else, so why not return him to of fee? How he achieved his publicity
  didn't matter The idea was to re- main prominent in the news columns. With Mayor Gillis at tho head of the community the guaran. tee is that nobody will be permitted long to overlook the fact that thert in such 9 town aa Newhurvnort jr northeastern Massachusetts.
 The troublesome feature of tho Gillis victory is that other fairly efficient mayors may seek to imitats him; other aspirants for politica honors may take him for an exampl, as a short cut to fame. We trust not but some aspects of human nature which crops up occasionally, arc es sentially foolish.

FINDING THE HONEST MAN

Judge SriSW old in Berlin said the other day that some day an ac- cused person will come into cour, and admit his guilt" The judge has q patient disposition and he will have to wait long time. His remark rcmnds ono of what Motor Vehicle Commissioner Parker of M2sSaChu sets said last week, to wit: That an investigation has disclosed that only one out of every 50 persons charged with motor vehicle law violations tells the truth. and that the other 29 are liars" This may be putting il a little strong, but one is re- minded that as far back as ancient Greece, when there were no motor vehicles to stimul lying. Diogencs was pictured as travelling around with a lantern in search of an hon. est man. still, every school kid is taught that honesty is the best policy. It seems to be until one is arrested tor speeding or something like that.
 In driving an automobile it's like this, that even q beginner, should he happen to get into a jam, will auto matically blame it on the eXperienc- ed, careful and prudent driver: and if the judge doesn't believe it he will have 10 listen to all argument by clever lawyer who himself, should he get charged with the wrong kind Of driving, will usually blame it on the other fellow.
 One sometimes wonders what a judge would do if he were pinched by a traffic cop and charged with malfcasancc on the highway in somebody else's court. t,t

Canadian Newsprint
 Mills Set New Price

New York, Dec. 3. UP)-Two Canadian newsprint paper firms have announced a new scale of priCes in accordance with the movement launched by the premiers of On- taro and Quebec to obtain a greater return from the Canadian pulp for ests.
 The new price is $60 per ton, an increase of s5. but on three year contracts the firms will deliver paper for the first six months at s55 per ton and for the remaining 30 months at S60.
 The firms which announced the price increase were the Abitibi Pow CT x Paper Company, Ltd, and the St. Maurice Valley Paper company.
 These firms are said 10 represent the greater part of the Canadian paper industry, and their notices to the American newspaper Publishers association headquarters here were identical in context.
 The association's attitude toward the increases will be determined at a meeting of publishers here next Monday.
