NEW STAMP BOOK

NEW STAMP BOOK
 A new publication dealing with philately has just been received by this department. It is entitled. How to Collect Stamps" the au- thor being Ralph A. Kimble and the publishers Grossett & Dunlap. It Is hoped to offer more tho:- ough review of the book in this column next week or perhaps q week later, as the publication is of some length and requires some time in the reading. Its opening respect not too technical, not may appeal more to the beginner, but 1t certainly contains much that will prove of value to the experi- enced collector.
 GOOD EXHIBIT
 Local philateltsts who plan to be in New York city during the next five weeks should make it q point to visit the reproduction of old Federal Hall in Bryant Park. That is the place where the Bi- centennial Commission of New York city is cacheting a series of twelve covers this fall. There Is on display there now collection of stamps, old documents. diaries, pictures, and models, all dealing with the history and development of the postal service. It was started informally as part of the ceremonies in connection with the Hard anniversary of the estab- Ngh nf tho .1ncfnffino O. partment. Those who have been following the news of the day re- call that this formal observance was held in Washington Monday of this week with the formal laying of the cornerstone of the new Postoffice Department building. President Hoover officiated using for the task the same trowel that George Washington employed for a similar purpose 139 years ago. Contributors to the exhibit include the Postoffice Department. Smith, sonian Institute, Bureau of Print ing and Engraving, and countless private collectors, dealers, and stamp ever issued in the United States and all the air mail stamps of the world.
 WEBSTER CACHET
 "Franklin, N. H., one of the cit- ies of first day issue for the Web- ster commemorative, October "A is using the stamp issue as means of raising money for the unem- ployment relief there. The City Council has authorized the Mayor to prepare special envelopes with a. cachet. showing the city seal which Is a representation of Web- ster seated beneath a tree in front of his home In Franklin, and the ! Chamber of Commerce will add . cachet showing its seal to the back of the cover, this seal also featur' ing Webster. Orders for either the envelopes or first day covers with these cachets are being handled at the office of tho mayor" Hartford Courant. No doubt if this works out other cities may pick up the idea and expand upon 1t.

Eloquent Silence of Ex-Prenier Tips
 Political Scales in Rumanid, July 17-2O|

BUCHAREST, July 12. - The sorcery of a long silence, skillfully wielded in a country where people love to talk, may have cleared the way for a return to power of Juliu Maniu, the national peasant party leader who was premier when King Carol returned from his Paris exile, and pushed his son, Michael, off the throne.
 The question will be answered at the Rumanian parliamentary elections of July TYPO N
 Maniu was no enemy to the exile but differences soon develop ed between the new king and .his prime minister and on october G. 1930 Maniu resigned. The fol- lowing June he resigned also as president of the national peasant party. "'- '
 That Maniu and his party had lost in popularity as well as royal esteem was indicated by the heavy vote boiled for the Nicholas Jorga government in June, 1881. But Professor Jorga encountered Eur ope's financial crisis and Rumania found it almost impossible to sell her oil and wheat.
 Drastic falling off of tax receipts caused the government to fall in arrears in the payment of civil service salaries and even army of- ficers' pay.
 During all this time Maniu, back in his native TranSvlyia, practiced law, telling neither friends nor enemies why he split with the king.
 Some guesses stressed Carols desire to dominate government af- fairs; others hinted that the pres ence in Rumania of Madame Mag do Lupescu, inamorata of Carols exile, kept Maniu aloof.
 At times people fully expected the peasant party leader to burst into denunciatory activity against Jorga's cabinet. Instead, he main tained a silence which itself soon thundered denunciation. Discreet gestures of reconciliation from Carol met the same silence.
 Finally foreigner spoke out. Charles Rist, a French financial expert, bluntly said Rumania's H. nancial condition was catastrophe. Just how bad, he said, would be difficult to determine because even the bookkeeping was bad.
 The Rist report smothered hopes for a new foreign loan. Sharp words passed between the king and Jorga and the cabinet resigned.

MOON ATTRACTS MOST VISIT 0RS TO OBSERVATORY
Luna Wins Largest of Aud fences When It Is
 Week Old

OTTAWA, July 12.-The Domin- ion Observatory of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa is open to visitors every Saturday evening between 8 and 10 o'clock, when those who wish to do so are al lowed, under the supervision of a member of the staff, to look through the telescope at one or more celestial bodies from select ed list that varies with the seasons. This practice was begun in 1905 when the observatory was first op- ened and has been continued ever since without interruption, says Canada News Bulletin.
 One of the most interesting of celestial objects to visitors is the moon, especially if she is about one week old Then all the irregular ities of her surface are shown up clearly in the intense light of the sun-the plains, the deep valleys, the mountain ranges and the crat- CTS. Though smaller than the earth, it is seen that her surface is much more rugged. Her distance from the earth is 24O000 miles, but through the telescope she appears as she would to the naked eye at a dis tance of few hundred miles.

WARNS PUBLIC ABOUT CERTAIN
 COACH SCHOOLS
Claim Made Money Lost for Courses Tn Civil
 Service Exams

WASHINGTON, July 12. = The following statement is made by the United States Civil Service Com mission:
 The Commission warns the public against paying money for coach ing" courses in preparation for under present conditions accept money under false pretenses. A purveyor of Civil Service courses is now under indictment in Iowa for false representation. It is expected that other such cases of prosecu- tion will follow.
 Comparatively few appointments are being made in the Federal Civil Service. Vacancies which must be filled are filled by the transfer of those in the service or the re- instatement of those who have been in the service, whenever prac- ticable.
 It Is seldom necessary to an- nounce an examination. In most cases large registers of eligibles exist as a result of examinations held during the past year. When an examination is announced, the applicants are usually hundreds of times in excess of the need.
 Money paid for Civil Service coaching courses at this time might almost as well be thrown to the four winds.

ANDY TAYLOR TO.
 RECOVER K0VEN
 FROM ICE.
Noted Alaskan Mountain. ger Selected to Find Bod
 les of Carpe and Koven

Enroute to Mt Mckinley to re- cover the body of Theodore Koven and take it back to New York, Andy Taylor, famous Alaska moun- taineer and guide, accompanied by Merle LaVoy, World Wide photo grapher, are passengers on the steamer Yukon for Seward. MT. Taylor was the guest of Dr. w. w. Council an old friend, while he was here.
 Koven and Allen Carpe. leaders of the ill-fated Cosmic Ray expe- dition to Mt. Mckinley early this Spring lost their lives in fall into an ice crevasse on Muldrow Glacier. Koven succeeded in climb ing out but was so badly injured he died almost on the edge of the crevasSe from which he escaped.
 His body was found few days later by another expedition that was returning from a successful ascent of Mt. Mckinley. Members of the latter party tried to bring it out with them but after several narrow escapes from falls were forced to abandon it. They mark ed the place where it was left and MT Taylor and LeVoy will under take the difficult task of locating lit and bringing it out. They will pick up two or three men in Fair banks to assist in the work. Ko- vens body will be taken back to New York for interment.
 MT. Taylor will also endeavor to find the body of Carpe. But Mrs. Carpe does not wish it brought back. MT Carpe was an enthus- iastic mountain climber and it was his expressed desire, in case of any fatal accident to himself in that pursuit, to be inferred on the scene of his death Mrs. Carpe is carrying out his wish in that respect
 Taylor has just returned from New York where arrangements for the trip were made. He left that city by plane last Tuesday at 9 a. m. and landed at Seattle at 4 D. m. on the following day, one of the fastest trips on record.

rings, and "the blood red shield of Mars" Some visitors may pre- fer to go beyond the limits of the solar system and to see one of the well known liked" stars or a double" star, and still others may ask to have the telescope turned on one of the dazzling "nebulae, '" which the astronomers tell us are other universes (called island" universes) lying hundreds of thou sands of light-years beyond the farthest limits of the Milky Way.
 The mounting of the large tele- scope is such that it may be turn ed to any point in the heavens. The moving parts weigh about five tons. but they are so well balanced and the mechanism is kept in such excellent working condition that any desired movement is easily made by hand. The whole dome Is revolved also by motor, and a sliding door opens in the roof to permit a clear view of the heavens.
 Refracting Telescope
 The telescope is of the kind known as "refracting" There is a large lens in the upper end through which the light passes and by which it is brought to focus at some distance behind the lens, forming an image of the object which is then magnified by the eyepiece The large lens, known as the object glass;" because it is directed toward the object to be observed, is fifteen inches in di- ameter and has a focal length of nineteen feet.
 Compared with telescopes at oth- CT observatories throughout the world this is not large, as there are sixty-seven larger ones in ac- tive use, the largest having a di- ameter of forty inches. In optical performance, however, it is one of the most excellent in existence It is supplies with the usual &C., cessories for photographic and spec tographic work and is in use every clear night, following out a CO., operative program of observations arranged with other observatories

 Representatives of the national peasant party went to Maniu's Transylvanian retreat and per suaded him to resume leadership.
 Later he consented to stand for a seat in parliament.
 To many political observers Ma niu's shift from the sorcery Of silence to the appeal of action means that he again will wield power as the nations premier If he does, it is predicted that Carol must play the role of real con- stitutional monarch.

FARMERS MUST
Be GIVEN AID,
SAYS M'NUTT
Pledges His Full Support at
Opening of State
Bureau Sessions.

Governor Elect Paul v. McNutt
met the Hoosier farmer today
shook hands with him, thanked
him for his aid in the election, and
assured him that he would work
with every governmental means at
hand to restore agriculture.
We're going to show you some
thing in this state that you haven't
seen for a long time-a Governor
and a Lieutenant-Governor who will
work together in harmony" de-
clared McNutt as he spoke to ap-
proximately 1000 members of the
Indiana Farm Bureau at the open
ing Of their two-day business ses-
sions in Claypool
Prosperity can't come back I'M
til the purchasing power of the
farmer is restored, and it must be
the business of the government to
bring back that power" he said.
He praised his Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, M. Clifford Townsend, as
"the man you members of the farm
bureau gave to the state"
William H. Settle, president of the
bureau, introduced the Governor
elect with, I'VE didn't elect you
Governor because you were a
Democrat. We elected you because
we believed in you"
Settle preceded McNutt's talk with
an outline Of the steps to be made
by cooperative organizations to
strengthen the federal marketing
act through amendments and the
need for an adjustment of values
between commodities and money.
The farm head asserted the be-
lief that the Importance of the gold
standard was exaggerated. He de-
clared the present effort to main
tain an honest dollar" was lauda-
tory, but decried that dollar that
was worth $l45 now, while COM
modify prices were at low ebb, was
not an honest dollar"
He paid the monetary exchange
of the nation should undergo sta
bilization legislation that would
make The dollar as stable as the
bushel measure for wheat and other
grains.
The bureau is expected to urge
the national administration to re-
tain the federal marketing act but
amend it to establish a price level
for basic farm crops enough higher
than the world price to create equi-
table ratio between farm and in
QuStrial prices.
The sessions close Wednesday with
the major address by Senator Lynn
j. Frazier of North Dakota.
